21.7 Usage Notes
21.7.1 Allowable Signal-Source Impedance
For the analog input design of this LSI, conversion accuracy is guaranteed for an input signal with
signal-source impedance of 5 kΩ or less. The specification is for charging input capacitance of the
sample and hold circuit of the A/D converter within sampling time. When the output impedance of
the sensor exceeds 5 kΩ, conversion accuracy is not guaranteed due to insufficient charging. If
large external capacitance is set at conversion in single mode, signal-source impedance is ignored
since input load is only internal input resistance of 3 kΩ. However, an analog signal with large
differential coefficient (5 mV/µs or greater) cannot be followed up because of a low-pass filter
(figure 21.5). When converting high-speed analog signals or converting in scan mode, insert a
low-impedance buffer.
21.7.2 Influence to Absolute Accuracy
By adding capacitance, absolute accuracy may be degraded if noise is on GND because there is
coupling with GND. Therefore, connect electrically stable GND such as AVcc to prevent absolute
accuracy from being degraded.
A filter circuit must not interfere with digital signals, or must not be an antenna on a mounting
board.

21.7.3 Setting Analog Input Voltage
Operating the chip in excess of the following voltage range may result in damage to chip
reliability.
• Analog Input Voltage Range: During A/D conversion, the voltages (VANn) input to the analog
input pins ANn should be in the range AV_SS ≤ VANn ≤ AV_CC (n = 0 to 3).
