8.5 A/D Converter
An A/D converter converts an analog input variable into a digital signal. This microcontroller is provided with an
A/D converter with a resolution of 8 bits and 8 channels (ANI0 through ANI7).
This A/D converter is of successive approximation type and the result of conversion is stored in the 8-bit A/D
conversion result register (ADCR).
The A/D converter can be started in the following two ways:
• Hardware start
Conversion is started by trigger input (P03).
• Software start
Conversion is started by setting the A/D converter mode register (ADM).
One analog input channel is selected from ANI0 through ANI7 for A/D conversion. When A/D conversion is started
by means of hardware start, conversion is stopped after it has been completed. When conversion is started by
means of software start, A/D conversion is repeatedly executed, and each time conversion has been completed,
an interrupt request (INTAD) is generated.
