42.4.13.1 Automatic noise mode
This mode is set by MODE[3:2] = 11 (noise mode 3). In this mode, the thresholds are
incremented internally by the module until the point that there is no noise voltage
trepassing the threshold.
The following diagram shows how it is done. The threshold comparator output goes to a
counter and as the DVOLT control bits are increased the DVOLT thresholds are
increased as well. The four bits are counted until 1111 (=15) and the counter is stop with
this maximum value.

The signals that have different behavior in this noise mode (wrt capacitive mode) are
shown in the following table.
