In MANUAL mode, the sample signal is generated when the SC bit is set which can be asynchronous to the sampling clock. The duration of the sampling window is controlled by software by holding the SC bit high.
Because an event is always edge triggered, manual mode with event trigger is not supported for any of the conversion modes. Software trigger with manual sampling mode is supported only for single channel single conversion mode and is not supported for any of the other three conversion modes.
There is a 2-3 cycle synchronization latency from when the sample window ends to when the conversion window begins.
Figure 24-3 shows the ADC sample and conversion timing diagram when the ADC is configured in MANUAL sampling mode:
When the reset value of PWRDN is set as ‘0’ which has the default behavior of automatic power down, ADC wake-up time needs to be considered before sample window. Refer to the device-specific data sheet for specifications on the ADC wake-up time.
