    5.5 A/D Data Transfer You can perform A/D data transfer by Program Control, Interrupt Rou- tine or DMA. Program controlled data transfer operates by polling the A/D status register. After the A/D conversion has been triggered, your applica- tion program checks the INT bit (data valid) of the A/D status regis- ter.
