With regard to the ADC sync signal, the normal usage is to synchronize the ADC capture with the PWM reload event.  That event can be used as an input to a timer which can then fire the ADC sync signal delayed from the PWM event.  Of course the timer can be synched to a different input, or the delay can be virtually eliminated by using a small count.
