17.4.1 Channels

The channel is a group of settings controlling the conversion process. The ADC has up to 48 channels (ADC1 - ADC4 each support 8 channels for a total of 32 channels, and ADC5 supports 16 channels).

All channel settings are placed in the ADnCHxCON1 register (where n is the specific ADC module and x is the respective channel of the ADC).

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 the 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.
