18.4.1 Channels
The channel is a group of settings controlling the conversion process. The ADC has up to 20 channels. All channel settings are placed in the AD1CHxCON register. To resolve simultaneous requests for channel conversions between different channels, the fixed order priority scheme is used. The priority scheme is defined by the channel number, with the channel with lowest number receiving the highest priority. In other words, channel conversions occur in ascending order of the channel number, with the lowest channel number being converted first.
