3. By extension, the ADC negative voltage reference can

be internally connected to the TSY- terminal, to recover
the full 4096 values.

The Global Configuration Register (ADCGCR) provides the
flexibility to implement any of these techniques.

16.3

ADC OPERATION IN POWER-SAVING
MODES

To reduce the level of switching noise in the environment of
the ADC, it is possible to operate the CP3BT26 in low-power
modes, in which the System Clock is slowed or switched off.
Under these conditions, Auxiliary Clock 2 can be selected
as the clock source for the ADC module, however conver-
sion results cannot be read by the system while the System
Clock is suspended. The expected operation in power-sav-
ing modes is therefore:

1. ADC is configured and a conversion is primed or trig-

gered.

2. A power-saving mode is entered.
3. ADC conversion completes and a wake-up signal is as-

serted to the MIWU unit.

4. Device wakes up and processes the conversion result.

To conserve power, the ADC should be disabled before en-
tering a low-power mode if its function is not required.

16.4

FREEZE

The ADC module provides support for an In-System Emula-
tor by means of a special FREEZE input. When FREEZE is
asserted the module will exhibit the following specific be-
havior:

„ The automatic clear-on-read function of the result regis-

ter (ADCRESLT) is disabled.

„ The FIFO is updated as usual, and an interrupt for a

completed conversion can be asserted.
