Does nRF51822 support SAADC? Also what is difference between ADC and SAADC?

Hey Alisha,

The nRF51 series does not support SAADC. The difference between the ADC in nRF51 and 52 series is that the 52 series has Direct Memory Access through EasyDMA. This means that the SAADC can move its samples into RAM without invoking the CPU.
