32.6.3 Prescaler
The ADC is clocked by GCLK_ADC. There is also a prescaler in the ADC to enable conversion at lower clock rates.

The propagation delay of an ADC measurement is given by:
32.6.4 ADC Resolution
The ADC supports 8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit resolutions. Resolution can be changed by writing the Resolution bit group in
the Control B register (CTRLB.RESSEL). After a reset, the resolution is set to 12 bits by default.
