 * @brief Versatile Analog to Digital Converter (VADC) driver for XMC microcontroller family.
 *
 * The XMC microcontroller provides a series of analog input channels connected to a cluster of Analog/Digital
 * Converters using the Successive Approximation Register (SAR) principle to convert analog input values (voltages)
 * to discrete digital values.
 * \if XMC1
 * The XMC1x is based on Sample & Hold converters, where a cluster contains 2 Sample&Hold units which share a common
 * converter.
 * \endif
 *
 * Each converter of the ADC cluster can operate independent of the others, controlled by a dedicated set of
 * registers and triggered by a dedicated group request source. The results of each channel can be stored in a
 * dedicated channel-specific result register or in a group-specific result register.<BR>
 *
 * The Versatile Analog to Digital Converter module (VADC) of the XMC comprises a set of converter blocks that
 * can be operated either independently or via a common request source that emulates a background converter.
 * Each converter block is equipped with a dedicated input multiplexer and dedicated request sources,
 * which together build separate groups.
