Faster Conversion - Lower Resolution Trade-off
Not all applications require a result with 10-bits of resolution, but may instead require a faster
conversion time. The A/D module allows users to make the trade-off of conversion speed to res-
olution. Regardless of the resolution required, the acquisition time is the same. To speed up the
conversion, the clock source of the A/D module may be switched so that the T
the minimum specified time (see the applicable electrical specification). Once the T
lates the minimum specified time, all the following A/D result bits are not valid (see A/D Conver-
sion Timing in the Electrical Specifications section). The clock sources may only be switched
between the three oscillator versions (cannot be switched from/to RC). The equation to deter-
mine the time before the oscillator can be switched is as follows:
