Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
3.1 Introduction
This section describes the 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
3.2 Features
Features of the ADC module include:
• 24 channels with multiplexed input
• Linear successive approximation with monotonicity
• 10-bit resolution
• Single or continuous conversion
• Conversion complete flag or conversion complete interrupt
• Selectable ADC clock
• Left or right justified result
• Left justified sign data mode
3.3 Functional Description
The ADC provides 24 pins for sampling external sources at pins PTG7/AD23–PTG0/AD16,
PTA7/KBD7/AD15–PTA0/KBD0/AD8, and PTB7/AD7–PTB0/AD0. An analog multiplexer allows the
single ADC converter to select one of 24 ADC channels as ADC voltage in (V
ADIN
). V
ADIN
is converted by
the successive approximation register-based analog-to-digital converter. When the conversion is
completed, ADC places the result in the ADC data register and sets a flag or generates an interrupt. See
Figure 3-2.
3.3.1 ADC Port I/O Pins
PTG7/AD23–PTG0/AD16, PTA7/KBD7/AD15–PTA0/KBD0/AD8, and PTB7/AD7–PTB0/AD0 are
general-purpose I/O (input/output) pins that share with the ADC channels. The channel select bits define
which ADC channel/port pin will be used as the input signal. The ADC overrides the port I/O logic by
forcing that pin as input to the ADC. The remaining ADC channels/port pins are controlled by the port I/O
logic and can be used as general-purpose I/O. Writes to the port register or data direction register (DDR)
will not have any affect on the port pin that is selected by the ADC. A read of a port pin in use by the ADC
will return a 0.
