12.4 A/D Converter Conversion Operations
The A/D converter conversion operations are described below.
<1> The voltage input to the selected analog input channel is sampled by the sample & hold circuit.
<2> When sampling has been done for a certain time, the sample & hold circuit is placed in the hold state and the
sampled voltage is held until the A/D conversion operation has ended.
<3> Bit 9 of the successive approximation register (SAR) is set. The series resistor string voltage tap is set to (1/2)
AV by the tap selector.
REF
<4> The voltage difference between the series resistor string voltage tap and sampled voltage is compared by the
voltage comparator. If the analog input is greater than (1/2) AV
to 1. If the analog input is smaller than (1/2) AV
<5> Next, bit 8 of the SAR register is automatically set to 1, and the operation proceeds to the next comparison. The
series resistor string voltage tap is selected according to the preset value of bit 9, as described below.
● Bit 9 = 1: (3/4) AV
● Bit 9 = 0: (1/4) AV
The voltage tap and sampled voltage are compared and bit 8 of the SAR register is manipulated as follows.
● Sampled voltage ≥ Voltage tap: Bit 8 = 1
● Sampled voltage < Voltage tap: Bit 8 = 0
<6> Comparison is continued in this way up to bit 0 of the SAR register.
<7> Upon completion of the comparison of 10 bits, an effective digital result value remains in the SAR register, and
the result value is transferred to the A/D conversion result register (ADCR, ADCRH) and then latched
At the same time, the A/D conversion end interrupt request (INTAD) can also be generated
<8> Repeat steps <1> to <7>, until the ADCS bit is cleared to 0
To stop the A/D converter, clear the ADCS bit to 0.
Notes 1. If the A/D conversion result is outside the A/D conversion result range specified by the ADRCK bit and the
ADUL and ADLL registers (see Figure 12-8), the A/D conversion result interrupt request signal is not
generated and no A/D conversion results are stored in the ADCR and ADCRH registers.
2. While in the sequential conversion mode, the ADCS flag is not automatically cleared to 0. This flag is not
automatically cleared to 0 while in the one-shot conversion mode of the hardware trigger no-wait mode,
either. Instead, 1 is retained.
Remarks 1. Two types of the A/D conversion result registers are available.
● ADCR register (16 bits):
● ADCRH register (8 bits): Store 8-bit A/D conversion value
2. AV : The + side reference voltage of the A/D converter. This can be selected from AV
