Operation modes

nRF54LM20A | nRF54LM20B Datasheet

The SAADC input configuration supports several modes of sampling.

  • One-shot, one channel
  • One-shot, scan (one sample for each channel)
  • Continuous, one channel
  • Continuous, scan
Note: Scan mode and oversampling should not be combined without burst.

Perform the following steps to sample ADC. At least one channel must be enabled in the register CH[n].CONFIG.

  1. Enable ADC with register ENABLE.
  2. Start ADC using the START task.
  3. Trigger the SAMPLE task to sample ADC.

ADC indicates a single ongoing conversion via the register STATUS. Multiple conversions occur in the ADC during oversampling, noise shaping, scan mode, or continuous modes. As a result, the value in register STATUS will toggle at the end of each single conversion.
