■ A/D Converter Timing
Figure: 14.3.1 shows A/D converter timing. The conversion time of A/D converter is the total of the sampling
hold (S/H) time , 10 bit conversion time and transfer time. When S/H time is 1 cycle, conversion time is 12 con-
version clock cycles. When S/H time is 4 cycles, conversion time is 15 conversion clock cycles.

■ Setting Clock for A/D Converter
A/D conversion clock can be selected from 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 16 dividing of IOCLK. However, it have to be
selected so that the conversion time is over 1.0µs and S/H time is over 200ns. The following table shows the con-
version time at IOCLK=30MHz.
The conversion clock should be selected from 2, 3, 4, 8, and 16 dividing at IOCLK=30MHz.
