From the processor user's manual for the H-8/3297/3296/3294/3292 :

12.1 Overview
The H8/3297 includes a 10-bit successive-approximations A/D converter with a
selection of up to eight
analog input channels.
12.1.1 Features
A/D converter features are listed below.
· 10-bit resolution
· Eight input channels
· High-speed conversion
Conversion time: minimum 8.4 µs per channel (with 16-MHz system clock)
· Two conversion modes
Single mode: A/D conversion of one channel
Scan mode: continuous conversion on one to four channels
· Four 16-bit data registers
A/D conversion results are transferred for storage into data registers
corresponding to the channels.
· Sample-and-hold function
· A/D conversion can be externally triggered
· A/D interrupt requested at end of conversion
At the end of A/D conversion, an A/D end interrupt (ADI) can be requested.
