-.. [#fsamp] This is based on the current configuration of a 55.5 cycle
- sample time, at 72 MHz. However, the minimum sample time *possible*
- is 1.5 cycles, leading to a theoretical maximum of approximately 48
- million samples per second (of course, doing anything with the
- readings also consumes cycles, so this maximum can't be reached in
- practice).
