How many ADC pins does the FRDM-K64F have?

I'm a bit confused about the FRDM-K64F platform. In the microcontroller datasheet (MK64FN1M0VLL12) it says it has 2 ADC. But on the FRDM-K64F mbed page it shows I have 6 AnalogIn pins.

https://mbed.org/platforms/FRDM-K64F/

How this is possible?

Are those 6 pins muxed against those two internal ADC?

I need to adquire 3 analog signals on 3 different pins. Although I don't need them to be adquired simultaneously. I can adquire them sequentially (first one pin, then the second, finally the third...). So, I don't need 3 ADC, I just need to be able to mux the two ADCs against 3 pins...

Is this possible?

Apologise for my english.

Yes, as you say they are muxed. This is the complete list:

static const PinMap PinMap_ADC[] = {
    {PTC2,  ADC0_SE4b, 0},
    {PTC8,  ADC1_SE4b, 0},
    {PTC9,  ADC1_SE5b, 0},
    {PTD1,  ADC0_SE5b, 0},
    {PTC10, ADC1_SE6b, 0},
    {PTD5,  ADC0_SE6b, 0},
    {PTC11, ADC1_SE7b, 0},
    {PTD6,  ADC0_SE7b, 0},
    {PTB0 , ADC0_SE8 , 0},
    {PTB1 , ADC0_SE9 , 0},
    {PTB2 , ADC0_SE12, 0},
    {PTB3 , ADC0_SE13, 0},
    {PTC0 , ADC0_SE14, 0},
    {PTB10, ADC1_SE14, 0},
    {PTB11, ADC1_SE15, 0},
    {PTC1 , ADC0_SE15, 0},
    {PTA17, ADC1_SE17, 0},
    //{PTE24, ADC0_SE17, 0}, //I2C pull up
    //{PTE25, ADC0_SE18, 0}, //I2C pull up
    {NC   , NC       , 0}
};

I don't know why the last two are commented, since I would assume that it is only the case for that specific board.

I'll uncomment them ;)

What file is being referenced above?

The PinNames.h and PeripherialNames.h don't seem to have this in it?

PeripheralPins.c. Some MCUs have this in the API files (so analogin_api.c), but those who have multiple mcus supported of the same type use PeripheralPins.c
