32.2.6 Auto-Conversion Trigger

The auto-conversion trigger allows periodic ADC measurements without software intervention. When a rising edge of the selected source occurs, the ADGO bit is set by hardware.

The auto-conversion trigger source is selected with the ADACT bits.

Using the auto-conversion trigger does not assure proper ADC timing. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the ADC timing requirements are met. See the following table for auto-conversion sources.
