The ADC module contains a prescaler, which generates an acceptable ADC clock frequency

from any CPU frequency above 100 kHz. The prescaling is set by the ADPS bits in ADCSRA.

The prescaler starts counting from the moment the ADC is switched on by setting the ADEN bit

in ADCSRA. The prescaler keeps running for as long as the ADEN bit is set, and is continuously

reset when ADEN is low. See Figure 15-3.

When initiating a single ended conversion by setting the ADSC bit in ADCSRA, the conversion

starts at the following rising edge of the ADC clock cycle.

A normal conversion takes 13 ADC clock cycles. The first conversion after the ADC is switched

on (ADEN in ADCSRA is set) takes 25 ADC clock cycles in order to initialize the analog circuitry,

as shown in Figure 15-4 below.

The actual sample-and-hold takes place 1.5 ADC clock cycles after the start of a normal conver-

sion and 13.5 ADC clock cycles after the start of an first conversion. See Figure 15-5.

When a conversion is complete, the result is written to the ADC Data Registers, and ADIF is set.

In Single Conversion mode, ADSC is cleared simultaneously. The software may then set ADSC

again, and a new conversion will be initiated on the first rising ADC clock edge.
