4.2.160 PCADC Register (Offset = 0x938) [reset = 0x3]
Analog-to-Digital Converter Power Control (PCADC)
NOTE:
The ADC module does not currently provide the ability to respond to the power-down
request. Setting a bit in this register has no effect on power consumption. This register is
defined for future software compatibility.
The PCADC register controls the power applied to the ADC module. The function of this bit depends on
the current state of the device (run, sleep or deep-sleep mode) and value of the corresponding bits in the
RCGCADC, SCGCADC, and DCGCADC registers. If the Rn, Sn, or Dn bit of the respective RCGCADC,
SCGCADC, and DCGCADC registers is 1 and the device is in that mode, the module is powered and
receives a clock regardless of what the corresponding Pn bit in the PCADC register is.
However, if the Rn, Sn, or Dn bit of the respective RCGCADC, SCGCADC, and DCGCADC registers is 0
and the device is in that mode, then the module behaves differently depending on the value of the
corresponding Pn bit in the PCADC register. In this case, when the Pn bit is clear, the module is not
powered and does not receive a clock. If the Pn bit is set, the module is powered but does not receive a
clock.

Module is not powered and does not receive a clock. In this case, the state of the peripheral
is not retained.
This is the lowest power consumption state of any peripheral, because it consumes no
dynamic nor leakage current. Hardware should perform a peripheral reset if the active mode
changes and the RCGCx, SCGCx, or DCGCx register is 1 or the P0 bit is changed to 1.
Software must reinitialize the peripheral when reenabled due to the loss of state.

Module is powered but does not receive a clock.
In this case, the peripheral is inactive. This is the second-lowest power consumption of any
peripheral, because it consumes only leakage current.
