33.3.4 Events

The ADC can generate the following events:

Table 33-9. ADC Event Generators
Generator NameDescriptionEvent TypeGenerating Clock DomainLength of Event
PeripheralEvent
ADCnRESRDYResult readyPulseCLK_PEROne CLK_PER period
ADCnSAMPRDYSample readyPulseCLK_PEROne CLK_PER period
ADCnWCMPWindow compare matchPulseCLK_PEROne CLK_PER period

The conditions for generating an event are identical to those that will raise the corresponding flag in the Interrupt Flags (ADCn.INTFLAGS) register.

The ADC has one event user for detecting and acting upon input events. The table below describes the event user and the associated functionality.

The START event action can be triggered if the EVENT_TRIGGER setting is written to the START bit field in the Command (ADCn.COMMAND) register.
