31.2.1 Analog power (V
DDA
)
The ADC analog portion uses V
DDA
as its power connection. In some packages, V
DDA
is
connected internally to V
DD
. If externally available, connect the V
DDA
pin to the same
voltage potential as V
DD
. External filtering may be necessary to ensure clean V
DDA
for
good results.
31.2.2 Analog ground (V
SSA
)
The ADC analog portion uses V
SSA
as its ground connection. In some packages, V
SSA
is
connected internally to V
SS
. If externally available, connect the V
SSA
pin to the same
voltage potential as V
SS
.
31.2.3 Voltage reference select
V
REFSH
and V
REFSL
are the high and low reference voltages for the converter.
The ADC can be configured to accept one of two voltage reference pairs for V
REFSH
and
V
REFSL
. Each pair contains a positive reference that must be between the minimum Ref
Voltage High and V
DDA
, and a ground reference that must be at the same potential as
V
SSA
. The two pairs are external (V
REFH
and V
REFL
) and alternate (V
ALTH
and V
ALTL
).
These voltage references are selected using the REFSEL bits in the SC2 register. The
alternate (V
ALTH
and V
ALTL
) voltage reference pair may select additional external pins or
internal sources depending on MCU configuration. Refer to the Chip Configuration
information on the Voltage References specific to this MCU.
