20.6 A/D Conversions
Figure 20-3 shows the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT<2:0> bits are cleared. A conversion is started
after the following instruction to allow entry into Sleep
mode before the conversion begins.
Figure 20-4 shows the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT<2:0> bits are set to ‘010’ and selecting a 4 TAD
acquisition time before the conversion starts.
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will
abort the current conversion. The A/D Result register
pair will NOT be updated with the partially completed
A/D conversion sample. This means the
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue to contain
the value of the last completed conversion (or the last
value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers).
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a
2 TAD wait is required before the next acquisition can
be started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected
channel is automatically started.
Note: The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.
