Note: This table assumes that the 24.5 MHz precision oscillator is used for 8- and 10-bit modes, and the 20 MHz low
power oscillator is used for 12-bit mode. The values in the table assume that the oscillators run at their
nominal frequencies. The maximum SAR clock values given in Table 4.10 allow for maximum oscillation
frequencies of 25.0 MHz and 22 MHz for the precision and low-power oscillators, respectively, when using the
given SAR clock divider values. Energy calculations are for the ADC subsystem only and do not include CPU
current. Modes in BLUE are only available on 'F912 and 'F902 devices.
