15.4.7 Conversion Start Modes
The conversion start mode of the high speed A/D converter is set by the PWR bit of the ADCSR.
When the PWR bit is cleared to 0, low-power conversion mode is set and the internal analog
circuit becomes inactive. High-speed start mode is set by setting the PWR bit to 1, and the analog
circuit becomes active.
In the low-power conversion mode, power is applied to the analog circuitry simultaneous to the
conversion start (ADST set). When 200 cycles of the reference clock have elapsed, conversion
becomes possible for the analog circuit and the first A/D conversion begins. When performing
consecutive conversions, the second and later conversions are executed in 10 cycles. Select the
basic clock with the CKS bit of the ADCSR. When the A/D conversion ends, ADST is cleared to
0 and the analog circuit power supply is automatically cut off. Because the analog circuit is only
active during the A/D conversion operation period in this mode, current consumption can be
reduced.
In high-speed start mode, ADST is cleared to 0 when A/D conversion ends. Power continues to be
supplied to the analog circuitry, and conversion-ready status is maintained. Conversion is restarted
immediately by resetting ADST to 1. However, the first conversion after power-on begins 200
cycles after setting ADST. Clear the PWR bit to 0 to switch off the analog power supply. When
performing consecutive conversions, the second and later conversions are executed in 20 cycles.
Because the analog circuit is always active in this mode, A/D conversion can be executed at high
speed.
