keeps running for as long as the ADEN bit is set and is continuously reset when ADEN
is low.
When initiating a conversion by setting the ADSC bit in ADCSR, the conversion starts at
the following rising edge of the ADC clock cycle. The actual sample-and-hold takes
place 1.5 ADC clock cycles after the start of the conversion. The result is ready and writ-
ten to the ADC Result Register after 13 cycles. In Single Conversion mode, the ADC
needs one more clock cycle before a new conversion can be started (see Figure 47). If
ADSC is set high in this period, the ADC will start the new conversion immediately. In
Free Run mode, a new conversion will be started immediately after the result is written
to the ADC Result Register. Using Free Run mode and an ADC clock frequency of 200
kHz gives the lowest conversion time, 65 µs, equivalent to 15.4 kSPS. For a summary of
conversion times, see Table 21.
