There is no FIFO.  Conversions can be started either manually by 
writing to ADCR, by various MATx.x edges, or continuously in a 
sequence (burst mode).  You must read the result after each 
conversion.

There is no automatic accumulation.  When bits 32:16 are zero, you 
don't need to mask them away when adding up to 256 conversion 
results.  You can then do this:

  int acc = 0;
  for (...)
  {
    ...
    acc += ADCR;
  }
  acc &= 0x00FFFFC0;

instead of this:

  int acc = 0;
  for (...)
  {
    ...
    acc += (ADCR & 0x0000FFC0);
  }

It is a small feature with a small benefit.
