9.4.7.2 Stop3 Mode With ADACK Enabled
If ADACK is selected as the conversion clock, the ADC continues operation during stop3 mode. For 
guaranteed ADC operation, the MCU’s voltage regulator must remain active during stop3 mode. Consult 
the module introduction for configuration information for this MCU.
If a conversion is in progress when the MCU enters stop3 mode, it continues until completion. Conversions 
can be initiated while the MCU is in stop3 mode by means of the hardware trigger or if continuous 
conversions are enabled.
A conversion complete event sets the COCO and generates an ADC interrupt to wake the MCU from stop3 
mode if the ADC interrupt is enabled (AIEN = 1).
NOTE
It is possible for the ADC module to wake the system from low power stop 
and cause the MCU to begin consuming run-level currents without 
generating a system level interrupt. To prevent this scenario, software 
should ensure that the data transfer blocking mechanism (discussed in 
Section 9.4.4.2, “Completing Conversions) is cleared when entering stop3 
and continuing ADC conversions.
9.4.8 MCU Stop1 and Stop2 Mode Operation
The ADC module is automatically disabled when the MCU enters either stop1 or stop2 mode. All module 
registers contain their reset values following exit from stop1 or stop2. Therefore the module must be 
re-enabled and re-configured following exit from stop1 or stop2.
9.5 Initialization Information
This section gives an example which provides some basic direction on how a user would initialize and 
configure the ADC module. The user has the flexibility of choosing between configuring the module for 
8-bit or 10-bit resolution, single or continuous conversion, and a polled or interrupt approach, among many 
other options. Refer to Table 9-6, Table 9-7, and Table 9-8 for information used in this example.
NOTE
Hexadecimal values designated by a preceding 0x, binary values designated 
by a preceding %, and decimal values have no preceding character.
9.5.1 ADC Module Initialization Example 
9.5.1.1 Initialization Sequence
Before the ADC module can be used to complete conversions, an initialization procedure must be 
performed. A typical sequence is as follows:
1. Update the configuration register (ADCCFG) to select the input clock source and the divide ratio 
used to generate the internal clock, ADCK. This register is also used for selecting sample time and 
low-power configuration.
