+ * @defgroup ADC ADC Driver
+ * @brief Generic ADC Driver.
+ * @details This module implements a generic ADC (Analog to Digital Converter)
+ * driver supporting a variety of buffer and conversion modes.
+ * @pre In order to use the ADC driver the @p HAL_USE_ADC option
+ * must be enabled in @p halconf.h.
+ *
+ * @section adc_1 Driver State Machine
+ * The driver implements a state machine internally, not all the driver
+ * functionalities can be used in any moment, any transition not explicitly
+ * shown in the following diagram has to be considered an error and shall
+ * be captured by an assertion (if enabled).

+ * @section adc_2 ADC Operations
+ * The ADC driver is quite complex, an explanation of the terminology and of
+ * the operational details follows.
+ *
+ * @subsection adc_2_1 ADC Conversion Groups
+ * The @p ADCConversionGroup is the objects that specifies a physical
+ * conversion operation. This structure contains some standard fields and
+ * several implementation-dependent fields.<br>
+ * The standard fields define the CG mode, the number of channels belonging
+ * to the CG and the optional callbacks.<br>
+ * The implementation-dependent fields specify the physical ADC operation
+ * mode, the analog channels belonging to the group and any other
+ * implementation-specific setting. Usually the extra fields just mirror
+ * the physical ADC registers, please refer to the vendor's MCU Reference
+ * Manual for details about the available settings. Details are also available
+ * into the documentation of the ADC low level drivers and in the various
+ * sample applications.
+ *
+ * @subsection adc_2_2 ADC Conversion Modes
+ * The driver supports several conversion modes:
+ * - <b>One Shot</b>, the driver performs a single group conversion then stops.
+ * - <b>Linear Buffer</b>, the driver performs a series of group conversions
+ * then stops. This mode is like a one shot conversion repeated N times,
+ * the buffer pointer increases after each conversion. The buffer is
+ * organized as an S(CG)*N samples matrix, when S(CG) is the conversion
+ * group size (number of channels) and N is the buffer depth (number of
+ * repeated conversions).
+ * - <b>Circular Buffer</b>, much like the linear mode but the operation does
+ * not stop when the buffer is filled, it is automatically restarted
+ * with the buffer pointer wrapping back to the buffer base.
+ * .
+ * @subsection adc_2_3 ADC Callbacks
+ * The driver is able to invoke callbacks during the conversion process. A
+ * callback is invoked when the operation has been completed or, in circular
+ * mode, when the buffer has been filled and the operation is restarted. In
+ * circular mode a callback is also invoked when the buffer is half filled.<br>
+ * The "half filled" and "filled" callbacks in circular mode allow to
+ * implement "streaming processing" of the sampled data, while the driver is
+ * busy filling one half of the buffer the application can process the
+ * other half, this allows for continuous interleaved operations.
+ *
+ * The driver is not thread safe for performance reasons, if you need to access
+ * the ADC bus from multiple threads then use the @p adcAcquireBus() and
+ * @p adcReleaseBus() APIs in order to gain exclusive access.
