31.3.2.4 Changing Channel or Reference Selection

The MUXPOS bits in the ADCn.MUXPOS register and the REFSEL bits in the ADCn.CTRLC register are buffered through a temporary register to which the CPU has random access. This ensures that the channel and reference selections only take place at a safe point during the conversion. The channel and reference selections are continuously updated until a conversion is started.

Once the conversion starts, the channel and reference selections are locked to ensure sufficient sampling time for the ADC. Continuous updating resumes in the last CLK_ADC clock cycle before the conversion completes (RESRDY in ADCn.INTFLAGS is set). The conversion starts on the following rising CLK_ADC clock edge after the STCONV bit is written to '1'.
