The purpose of the ADC is to measure analog signals and convert them to a digital representation with minimal CPU intervention providing for lower power and greater task integration. The ADC supports fast 12-, 10-, and 8-bit analog-to-digital conversions. The ADC implements a 12-bit Successive Approximation Register (SAR) core, sample/conversion mode control, and up to 6 independent conversion-and-control buffers. This means the ADC allows up to 6 independent analog-to-digital converter (ADC) samples to be converted and stored without any CPU intervention.
