18.4.3 Input Sampling and A/D Conversion Time
The A/D converter has a built-in sample-and-hold circuit. The A/D converter samples the analog
input when the A/D conversion start delay time (t
D
) passes after the ADST bit in ADCSR is set to
1, then starts A/D conversion. Figure 18.2 shows the A/D conversion timing. Table 18.3 indicates
the A/D conversion time.
As indicated in figure 18.2, the A/D conversion time (t
CONV
) includes t
D
and the input sampling time
(t
SPL
). The length of t
D
varies depending on the timing of the write access to ADCSR. The total
conversion time therefore varies within the ranges indicated in table 18.3.
In scan mode, the values given in table 18.3 apply to the first conversion time. In the second and
subsequent conversions, the conversion time is 266 states (fixed) when CKS = 0 and 134 states
(fixed) when CKS = 1.
Use the conversion time of 134 state only when the system clock (φ) is 16 MHz or lower.
