ADC Clock Prescaler
The peripheral clock HSPCLK is divided down by the ADCCLKPS[3:0] bits of the ADCTRL3 register. An
extra divide-by-two is provided via the CPS bit of the ADCTRL1 register. In addition, the ADC can be
tailored to accommodate variations in source impedances by widening the sampling/acquisition period.
This is controlled by the ACQ_PS[3:0] bits in the ADCTRL1 register. These bits do not affect the
conversion portion of the S/H and conversion process, but do extend the length of time in which the
sampling portion takes by extending the start of the conversion pulse. See Figure 1-9 .
Figure 1-9. ADC Core Clock and Sample-and-Hold (S/H) Clock
A See register bit definition for clock divider ratio and S/H pulse control. S/H pulse width determines the size of
acquisition window (the time period for which sampling switch is closed).
The ADC module has several prescaler stages to generate any desired ADC operating clock speed.
Figure 1-10 defines the clock selection stages that feed the ADC module. Table 1-7 gives two example
settings and shows both the effective sustained sequential sampling rate and the sample and hold window
time for those settings.

The ADC supports three separate power sources each controlled by independent bits in the ADCTRL3
register. These three bits combine to make up three power levels: ADC power up, ADC power down, and
ADC off.
