42.6.12 Debug Operation
Setting DBGCTRL.DBGRUN = 1 enables the ADC to continue operation when the device is halted in debug mode. If this bit is not set, then the ADC is halted in debug mode.
If DBGCTRL.DBGRUN=0, then during debug the ADC macro will capture all the triggers that fire and on exit from the debug operation to normal running operation the ADC will perform conversions on the captured event or events based on ADC channel priorities.
During a debug stop all the ADC registers are still write protected as long as CTRLA.ENABLE=1.
