25.1.4 Clock Circuit
The clock divider blocks shown in Figure 25-18 determine the clock frequencies in the
ADC module and the conversion and sample timing.
Figure 25-18 Clock Control Structure
The following definitions for the A/D Converter clocks are used in this chapter:
• f
CLC
: Module control clock
• f
ADC
: Module timing clock
• f
BC
: Basic operating clock
• f
ANA
: Internal A/D Converter clock
• f
TIMER
: Arbiter clock
The conversion time is composed of the sample time, the time for the successive
approximation, and the calibration time. Table 25-6 shows the conversion time t
C
based
on the sample time t
S
, basic operating clock frequency f
BC
and the module timing clock
f
ADC
(t
BC
= 1 / f
BC
, t

= 1 / f
ADC
).
Note: The TC1796 basic operating clock frequency f
BC
influences the maximum
allowable internal resistance of the used reference voltage supply.
