A processor ADC has a 12-bit resolution, and an operating span from 0-3.0 V. The ADC requires 2 micro-Seconds per bit for the analog to digital conversion, and the microcontroller upon which this ADC operates has a processor 16 MHz clock. The input to the ADC is 1.8 V, what is the digitized value resulting from the conversion?

Assuming the processor described in the question above triggers then waits for ADC conversion completion, how many processor cycles must the software wait for a single 12- bit ADC conversion?
