CHAPTER 12 10-BIT A/D CONVERTER
12.1
Overview of the 10-Bit A/D Converter
The 10-bit successive approximation A/D converter has two operation modes:
conversion start by software and conversion start by external trigger.
■ Features of the 10-Bit A/D Converter
Conversion time: 8.5 µs (sampling: 6.4 µs, conversion: 2.1 µs) when fch is @20 MHz
•
•
A/D conversion result register available for each channel
•
Channel scan function
■ Block Diagram
Figure 12.1-1 shows the configuration diagram of the 10-bit A/D converter, and Figure 12.1-2
shows its block diagram.
