Hi Nobody,

You can use the SPI interface to trigger a conversion if you set ADCSCR[0] = 1.
If you do not plan to use either BUSY or INT (interrupt) functionality to monitor conversion, you will have to implement timing delays in your host to account for conversion time of the ADC.

Hi, Rahul：

Thank you for your reply.

base on your reply, Delay time > conversion time than ADC can work normal, right??

Hi Nobody,

Yes, with delay time > conversion time, it should work.
