45.5.6 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.
45.5.7 PWM Event Line
PWM Event Lines may or may not be used as hardware triggers depending on user requirements.
45.5.8 Fault Output
The AFE Controller has the FAULT output connected to the FAULT input of PWM. Please refer to 
 and implementation of the PWM in the product.
45.5.9 Conversion Performances
For performance and electrical characteristics of the AFEC, see the product DC characteristics.

Functional Description
45.6.1 Analog-Front-End Conversion
The AFEC uses the AFEC Clock to perform conversions. Converting a single analog value to a 12-bit digital data
requires Tracking Clock cycles as defined in the field TRACKTIM of the AFEC Mode Register (AFEC_MR) and
Transfer Clock cycles as defined in the field TRANSFER of the same register. The AFEC Clock frequency is
selected in the PRESCAL field of the AFEC_MR. The tracking phase starts during the conversion of the previous
channel. If the tracking time is longer than the conversion time, the tracking phase is extended to the end of the
previous conversion.
The AFEC clock range is between MCK/2, if PRESCAL is 0, and MCK/512, if PRESCAL is set to 255 (0xFF).
PRESCAL must be programmed in order to provide an AFEC clock frequency according to the parameters given
in the product electrical characteristics.
