PIC18F6585/8585/6680/8680
19.0 10-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter module has 12
inputs for the PIC18F6X8X devices and 16 inputs for
the PIC18F8X8X devices. This module allows conver-
sion of an analog input signal to a corresponding 10-bit
digital number.
A new feature for the A/D converter is the addition of pro-
grammable acquisition time. This feature allows the user
to select a new channel for conversion and to set the
GO/DONE bit immediately. When the GO/DONE bit is
set, the selected channel is sampled for the
programmed acquisition time before a conversion is
actually started. This removes the firmware overhead
that may have been required to allow for an acquisition
(sampling) period (see Register 19-3 and Section 19.4
“Selecting the A/D Conversion Clock”).

The module has five registers:
• A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)
• A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL)
• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)
• A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
• A/D Control Register 2 (ADCON2)
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 19-1,
controls the operation of the A/D module. The
ADCON1 register, shown in Register 19-2, configures
the functions of the port pins. The ADCON2 register,
shown in Register 19-3, configures the A/D clock
source, programmed acquisition time and justification.

GO/DONE: A/D Conversion Status bit
When ADON = 1:
1 = A/D conversion in progress. This bit is automatically cleared when the A/D conversion is
complete.
0 = A/D Idle
ADON: A/D On bit
1 = A/D converter module is enabled
0 = A/D converter module is disabled and consumes no current
Note 1: These channels are only available on PIC18F8X8X devices.
Legend:
R = Readable bit
- n = Value at POR
W = Writable bit
‘1’ = Bit is set
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
