If you're just getting frequency, why not just look for a
zero crossing and not much about with the ADC.

Hardware becomes a 1 bit comparator. Time positive transition
to positive transition. 'Blank' after negative transitions for
a short (compared to expected frequency) to prevent noise from
making false counts.
