6.3.2. Tracking Modes
The AD0TM bit in register ADC0CN controls the ADC0 track-and-hold mode. In its default state, the ADC0
input is continuously tracked, except when a conversion is in progress. When the AD0TM bit is logic 1,
ADC0 operates in low-power track-and-hold mode. In this mode, each conversion is preceded by a track-
ing period of 3 SAR clocks (after the start-of-conversion signal). When the CNVSTR signal is used to initi-
ate conversions in low-power tracking mode, ADC0 tracks only when CNVSTR is low; conversion begins
on the rising edge of CNVSTR. See Figure 6.4 for track and convert timing details. Tracking can also be
disabled (shutdown) when the device is in low power standby or sleep modes. Low-power track-and-hold
mode is also useful when AMUX settings are frequently changed, due to the settling time requirements
described in Section “6.3.3. Settling Time Requirements” on page 48.
