Product Specification

The ADC registers actually return 13 bits of data, but the two LSBs are intended for com-
pensation use only. When the software compensation routine is performed on the 13 bit
raw ADC value, two bits of resolution are lost because of a rounding error. As a result, the
final value is an 11-bit number.
Hardware Overflow
When the hardware overflow bit (OVF) is set in ADC Data Low Byte (ADCD_L) Regis-
ter, all other data bits are invalid. The hardware overflow bit is set for values greater than
V_REF and less than –V_REF (DIFFERENTIAL Mode).
Automatic Powerdown
If the ADC is idle (no conversions in progress) for 160 consecutive system clock cycles,
portions of the ADC are automatically powered down. From this powerdown state, the
ADC requires 40 system clock cycles to power up. The ADC powers up when a conver-
sion is requested by the ADC Control Register.
Single-Shot Conversion
When configured for single-shot conversion, the ADC performs a single analog-to-digital
conversion on the selected analog input channel. After completion of the conversion, the
ADC shuts down. Observe the following steps for setting up the ADC and initiating a sin-
gle-shot conversion:
1. Enable the appropriate analog inputs by configuring the general-purpose I/O pins for
alternate analog function. This configuration disables the digital input and output
drivers.
2. Write the ADC Control/Status Register 1 to configure the ADC.
– Write to BUFMODE[2:0] to select SINGLE-ENDED or DIFFERENTIAL mode,
plus unbuffered or buffered mode.
– Write the REFSELH bit of the pair {REFSELH, REFSELL} to select the internal
voltage reference level or to disable the internal reference. The REFSELL bit is.
contained in the ADC Control Register 0.
3. Write to the ADC Control Register 0 to configure the ADC and begin the conversion.
The bit fields in the ADC Control Register can be written simultaneously (the ADC
can be configured and enabled with the same write instruction):
– Write to the ANAIN[3:0] field to select from the available analog input sources
(different input pins available depending on the device).
– Clear CONT to 0 to select a single-shot conversion.
