         - A specific ADC module can only work under one operating mode at any one time, either Continuous Read Mode or Single Read Mode.
-        - ADC1 and ADC2 can not work under Singel Read Mode simultaneously. One of them will get blocked until another one finishes.
-        - For continuous (DMA) read mode, the ADC sampling frequency (the ``sample_freq_hz`` member of :cpp:type:`adc_digi_config_t`) should be within ``SOC_ADC_SAMPLE_FREQ_THRES_LOW`` and ``SOC_ADC_SAMPLE_FREQ_THRES_HIGH``.

+        - ADC2 continuous (DMA) mode is no longer supported, due to hardware limitation. The results are not stable. This issue can be found in `ESP32C3 Errata <https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp32-c3_errata_en.pdf>`. For compatibility, you can enable :ref:`CONFIG_ADC_CONTINUOUS_FORCE_USE_ADC2_ON_C3_S3` to force use ADC2.
