Product Dependencies
42.5.1 Power 
Management
The ADC Controller is not continuously clocked. The programmer must first enable the ADC Controller MCK in the Power
Management Controller (PMC) before using the ADC Controller. However, if the application does not require ADC
operations, the ADC Controller clock can be stopped when not needed and restarted when necessary. Configuring
the ADC Controller does not require the ADC Controller clock to be enabled.
42.5.2 Interrupt 
Sources
The ADC interrupt line is connected on one of the internal sources of the Interrupt Controller. Using the ADC interrupt
requires the interrupt controller to be programmed first.
42.5.3 Analog 
Inputs
The analog input pins can be multiplexed with PIO lines. In this case, the assignment of the ADC input is automatically
done as soon as the corresponding channel is enabled by writing the register ADC_CHER. By default, after reset,
the PIO line is configured as input with its pull-up enabled and the ADC input is connected to the GND.
42.5.4 I/O 
Lines
The pin ADTRG may be shared with other peripheral functions through the PIO Controller. In this case, the PIO
Controller should be set accordingly to assign the pin ADTRG to the ADC function.
42.5.5 Timer 
Triggers
Timer Counters may or may not be used as hardware triggers depending on user requirements. Thus, some or all of
the timer counters may be unconnected.
42.5.6 Conversion 
Performance
For performance and electrical characteristics of the ADC, see the product electrical characteristics.
