14. Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC0)
The ADC is a successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADC with 12-, 10-, and 8-bit modes, integrated
track-and-hold and a programmable window detector. These different modes allow the user to trade off
speed for resolution. ADC0 also has an autonomous low-power burst mode which can automatically
enable ADC0, capture and accumulate samples, then place ADC0 in a low power shutdown mode without
CPU intervention. It also has a 16-bit accumulator that can automatically oversample and average the
ADC results.
The ADC is fully configurable under software control via several registers. The ADC0 operates in single-
ended mode and may be configured to measure different signals using the analog multiplexer. The voltage
reference for the ADC is selectable between internal and external reference sources.
