The ADC10/12 module supports fast, >200 ksps (kilo-samples per second), 10- or 12-bit analog-to-digital conversions. This module features a 10 or 12-bit SAR core with 5, 8 or 12 input channels, a sample select control, a 1.5/2.5V reference generator and an internal temperature sensor. The ADC10 features a data transfer controller (DTC) while the ADC12 features a 16 word conversion-and-control buffer. These added features allow samples to be converted and stored without CPU intervention.
