Overview
9.3.5 A/D converter clocks
The CSEL bit in the OPTION register selects whether the A/D converter
uses the system E clock or an internal RC oscillator for synchronization.
When E clock frequency is below 750kHz, charge leakage in the
capacitor array can cause errors, and the internal oscillator should be
used. When the RC clock is used, additional errors can occur because
the comparator is sensitive to the additional system clock noise.
9.3.6 Conversion sequence
A/D converter operations are performed in sequences of four
conversions each. A conversion sequence can repeat continuously or
stop after one iteration. The conversion complete flag (CCF) is set after
the fourth conversion in a sequence to show the availability of data in the
result registers. Figure 9-3 shows the timing of a typical sequence.
Synchronization is referenced to the system E clock.

9.3.7 Conversion process
The A/D conversion sequence begins one E clock cycle after a write to
the A/D control/status register, ADCTL. The bits in ADCTL select the
