– If the internal voltage reference must be output to a pin, set the REFEXT bit to 1.
The internal voltage reference must be enabled in this case.
– Write the REFSELL bit of the pair {REFSELH, REFSELL} to select the internal
voltage reference level or to disable the internal reference. The REFSELH bit is
contained in the ADC Control/Status Register 1.
– Set CEN to 1 to start the conversion.
4. CEN remains 1 while the conversion is in progress. A single-shot conversion requires
5129 system clock cycles to complete. If a single-shot conversion is requested from an
ADC powered down state, the ADC uses 40 additional clock cycles to power up
before beginning the 5129 cycle conversion.
5. When the conversion is complete, the ADC control logic performs the following oper-
ations:
– 13-bit two’s-complement result written to {ADCD_H[7:0], ADCD_L[7:3]}
– Sends an interrupt request to the Interrupt Controller denoting conversion com-
plete
– CEN resets to 0 to indicate the conversion is complete
6. If the ADC remains idle for 160 consecutive system clock cycles, it is automatically
powered down.
Continuous Conversion
When configured for continuous conversion, the ADC continuously performs an analog-
to-digital conversion on the selected analog input. Each new data value overwrites the pre-
vious value stored in the ADC Data registers. An interrupt is generated after each conver-
sion.
Caution: In CONTINUOUS Mode, ADC updates are limited by the input signal bandwidth of the
ADC and the latency of the ADC and its digital filter. Step changes at the input are not
immediately detected at the next output from the ADC. The response of the ADC (in all
modes) is limited by the input signal bandwidth and the latency.
Observe the following steps for setting up the ADC and initiating continuous conversion:
1. Enable the appropriate analog input by configuring the general-purpose I/O pins for
alternate function. This action disables the digital input and output driver.
2. Write the ADC Control/Status Register 1 to configure the ADC.
