IIRC, it's fast enough to just read it like a memory location if you had a bus of only 1MHz. I'm running at 5MHz, so I have the A/D on a 65c22's port.
I have a couple of web pages a bout the workbench computer at http://wilsonminesco.com/BenchCPU/ .

Now that is quite fast!
I've never heard of a half flash before, does this just let it improve on speed while not costing as much as a full flash ADC?

Right. A flash converter requires a lot more analog comparators. An 8-bit half-flash converter does the first four bits all at once and then the next four all at once. I'm not sure I've seen any 8-bit (full)flash ones, although I'm sure they exist. I know I've seen 6-bit ones. There are so many thousands of A/D converters on the market that it's not possible to be familiar with a significant percentage of them. The nice thing about this converter is that you don't have to tell it to start a conversion and then come back later when it's finally done, or shift bits in one at a time while it's doing the conversion.

The only ones I've ever used are the ones were you have to tell it to start the conversion.
