PIC32MX5XX/6XX/7XX
23.0 10-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (ADC)
The PIC32MX5XX/6XX/7XX 10-bit Analog-to-Digital
Converter (ADC) includes the following features:
• Successive Approximation Register (SAR)
conversion
• Up to 1 Msps conversion speed
• Up to 16 analog input pins
• External voltage reference input pins
• One unipolar, differential Sample and Hold (S&H)
circuit
• Automatic Channel Scan mode
• Selectable conversion trigger source
• 16-word conversion result buffer
• Selectable buffer fill modes
• Eight conversion result format options
• Operation during Sleep and Idle modes
A block diagram of the 10-bit ADC is illustrated in
Figure 23-1. The 10-bit ADC has up to 16 analog input
pins, designated AN0-AN15. In addition, there are two
analog input pins for external voltage reference
connections. These voltage reference inputs may be
shared with other analog input pins and may be
common to other analog module references.
The analog inputs are connected through two multi-
plexers to one S&H. The analog input multiplexers can
be switched between two sets of analog inputs
between conversions. Unipolar differential conversions
are possible on all channels, other than the pin used as
the reference, using a reference input pin (see
Figure 23-1).
The Analog Input Scan mode sequentially converts
user-specified channels. A control register specifies
which analog input channels will be included in the
scanning sequence.
The 10-bit ADC is connected to a 16-word result buffer.
Each 10-bit result is converted to one of eight 32-bit
output formats when it is read from the result buffer.
