Section 17 A/D Converter (ADC)
When the ACE bit is 0 (initial value) and the A/D conversion result (H'0222) is not written to
ADDR for some reason, the old data (H'0111) becomes the ADDR value. In addition, when the
ADDR value is read into a general register using an A/D conversion end interrupt, the old data
(H'0111) is stored in the general register. To detect a renewal failure, every time the old data needs
to be stored in the RAM, a general register, etc.
When the ACE bit is 1, reading ADDR = H'0111 by the CPU or DMAC automatically clears
ADDR to H'0000. After this, if the A/D conversion result (H'0222) cannot be transferred to
ADDR for some reason, the cleared data (H'0000) remains as the ADDR value. When this ADDR
value is read into a general register, H'0000 is stored in the general register. Just by checking
whether the read data value is H'0000 or not allows the detection of non-updated ADDR states.

Because ADDR is not renewed, old data is used.
However, it is impossible to know that the data is old or not.
