8.5 Comparison voltage in 8-bit mode
In the 8-bit mode, the M37751 treats the high-order 8 bits of the 10-bit successive approximation register
as the conversion result. Accordingly, when compared with the 8-bit A-D converter, the A-D conversion of
the M37751 is performed by using a comparison reference voltage that is different by 3V
the underlined portions in the Table 8.5.1). The difference of the output code change point is generated as
shown in Figure 8.5.1.
