dsPIC33F/PIC24H Family Reference Manual

16.1 INTRODUCTION

This document describes the features and associated operational modes of the Successive

Approximation (SAR) Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) available on the dsPIC33F/PIC24H

families of devices.

The ADC module can be configured by the user application to function as a 10-bit, 4-channel

ADC (for devices with 10-bit only ADC) or a 12-bit, single-channel ADC (for devices with

selectable 10-bit or 12-bit ADC).

Figure 16-1 illustrates a block diagram of the ADC module for devices with DMA. Figure 16-2

illustrates a block diagram of the ADC module for devices without DMA.

The dsPIC33F/PIC24H ADC module has the following key features:

• SAR conversion

• Up to 1.1 Msps conversion speed

• Up to 32 analog input pins

• External voltage reference input pins

• Four unipolar differential Sample and Hold (S&H) amplifiers

• Simultaneous sampling of up to four analog input pins

• Automatic Channel Scan mode

• Selectable conversion trigger source

• Up to 16-word conversion result buffer

• Selectable Buffer Fill modes (not available on all devices)

• DMA support, including Peripheral Indirect Addressing (not available on all devices)

• Operation during CPU Sleep and Idle modes

Depending on the device variant, the ADC module may have up to 32 analog input pins,

designated AN0-AN31. These analog inputs are connected by multiplexers to four S&H

amplifiers, designated CH0-CH3. The analog input multiplexers have two sets of control bits,

designated as MUXA (CHySA/CHyNA) and MUXB (CHySB/CHyNB). These control bits select a

particular analog input for conversion. The MUXA and MUXB control bits can alternatively select

the analog input for conversion. Unipolar differential conversions are possible on all channels

using certain input pins (see Figure 16-1 Figure 16-2 and ).

Channel Scan mode can be enabled for the CH0 S&H amplifier. Any subset of the analog inputs

(AN0 to AN31 based on availability) can be selected by the user application. The selected inputs

are converted in ascending order using CH0.

The ADC module supports simultaneous sampling using multiple S&H channels to sample the

inputs at the same time, and then performs the conversion for each channel sequentially. By

default, the multiple channels are sampled and converted sequentially.

For devices with DMA, the ADC module is connected to a single-word result buffer. However,

multiple conversion results can be stored in a DMA RAM buffer with no CPU overhead when

DMA is used with the ADC module. Each conversion result is converted to one of four 16-bit

output formats when it is read from the buffer.

Note: This family reference manual section is meant to serve as a complement to device

data sheets. Depending on the device variant, this manual section may not apply to

all dsPIC33F/PIC24H devices.

Please consult the note at the beginning of the “Analog-to-Digital Converter

(ADC)” chapter in the current device data sheet to check whether this document

supports the device you are using.

Device data sheets and family reference manual sections are available for

download from the Microchip Worldwide Web site at: http://www.microchip.com

Section 16. Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

Analog-to-Digital

Converter (ADC)

For devices without DMA, the ADC module is connected to a 16-word result buffer. The ADC

result is available in four different numerical formats (see Figure 16-14).

Note 1: A ‘y’ is used with MUXA and MUXB control bits to specify the S&H channel numbers

(y = 0 or 123).

2: Depending on a particular device pinout, the ADC can have up to 32 analog input

pins, designated AN0 through AN31. In addition, there are two analog input pins for

external voltage reference connections (VREF+, VREF-). These voltage reference

inputs can be shared with other analog input pins. The actual number of analog

input pins and external voltage reference input configuration depends on the

specific device. For further details, refer to the specific device data sheet.

16.2 CONTROL REGISTERS

The ADC module has ten Control and Status registers. These registers are:

•ADxCON1: ADCx Control Register 1

•ADxCON2: ADCx Control Register 2

•ADxCON3: ADCx Control Register 3

•ADxCON4: ADCx Control Register 4

•ADxCHS123: ADCx Input Channel 1, 2, 3 Select Register

•ADxCHS0: ADCx Input Channel 0 Select Register

•AD1CSSH: ADC1 Input Scan Select Register High

•ADxCSSL: ADCx Input Scan Select Register Low

•AD1PCFGH: ADC1 Port Configuration Register High

•ADxPCFGL: ADCx Port Configuration Register Low

The ADxCON1, ADxCON2 and ADxCON3 registers control the operation of the ADC module.

The ADxCON4 register sets up the number of conversion results stored in a DMA buffer for each

analog input in the Scatter/Gather mode for devices with DMA. The ADxCHS123 and ADxCHS0

registers select the input pins to be connected to the S&H amplifiers. The ADCSSH/L registers

select inputs to be sequentially scanned. The ADxPCFGH/L registers configure the analog input

pins as analog inputs or as digital I/O.

16.2.1 ADC Result Buffer

For devices with DMA, the ADC module contains a single-word result buffer, ADC1BUF0. For

devices without DMA, the ADC module contains a 16-word dual-port RAM, to buffer the results.

The 16 buffer locations are referred to as ADC1BUF0, ADC1BUF1, ADC1BUF2, ..., ADC1BUFE

and ADC1BUFF.

Note: After a device reset, the ADC buffer register(s) will contain unknown data.

16.3 OVERVIEW OF SAMPLE AND CONVERSION SEQUENCE

Figure 16-3 illustrates that the analog-to-digital conversion is a three step process:

1. The input voltage signal is connected to the sample capacitor.

2. The sample capacitor is disconnected from the input.

3. The stored voltage is converted to equivalent digital bits.

The two distinct phases, sample and conversion, are independently controlled.

Figure 16-3: Sample Conversion Sequence

16.3.1 Sample Time

Sample Time is when the selected analog input is connected to the sample capacitor. There is a

minimum sample time to ensure that the S&H amplifier provides a desired accuracy for the

analog-to-digital conversion (see 16.12 “Analog-to-Digital Sampling Requirements”).

The sampling phase can be set up to start automatically upon conversion or by manually setting

the Sample bit (SAMP) in the ADC Control Register 1 (ADxCON1<1>). The sampling phase is

controlled by the Auto-Sample bit (ASAM) in the ADC Control Register 1 (ADxCON1<2>).

Table 16-1 lists the options selected by the specific bit configuration.

Table 16-1: Start of Sampling Selection

If automatic sampling is enabled, the sampling time (TSMP) taken by the ADC module is equal to

the number of TAD cycles defined by the SAMC<4:0> bits (ADxCON3<12:8>), as shown by

Equation 16-1.

Equation 16-1: Sampling Time Calculation

If manual sampling is desired, the user software must provide sufficient time to ensure adequate

sampling time.

Note: The ADC module requires a finite number of analog-to-digital clock cycles to start

16.3.2 Conversion Time

The Start of Conversion (SOC) trigger ends the sampling time and begins an analog-to-digital

conversion. During the conversion period, the sample capacitor is disconnected from the

multiplexer, and the stored voltage is converted to equivalent digital bits. The conversion time for

10-bit and 12-bit modes are shown in Equation 16-2 and Equation 16-3. The sum of the sample

time and the analog-to-digital conversion time provide the total conversion time.

For correct analog-to-digital conversion, the analog-to-digital conversion clock (TAD) must be

selected to ensure a minimum TAD time. Refer to the “Electrical Characteristics” chapter of the

specific device data sheet for the minimum TAD specifications for 10-bit and 12-bit modes.

Equation 16-2: 10-bit ADC Conversion Time

Equation 16-3: 12-bit ADC Conversion Time

The SOC can be triggered by a variety of hardware sources or controlled manually in user soft-

ware. The trigger source to initiate conversion is selected by the SOC Trigger Source Select bits

(SSRC<2:0>) in the ADC Control register (ADxCON1<7:5>). Table 16-2 lists the conversion

trigger source selection for different bit settings.

Table 16-2: SOC Trigger Selection

Table 16-3 lists the sample conversion sequence with different sample and conversion phase

16.3.3 Manual Sample and Manual Conversion Sequence

In the Manual Sample and Manual Conversion Sequence, setting the Sample bit (SAMP) in the

ADC Control Register 1 (ADxCON1<1>) initiates sampling, and clearing the SAMP bit terminates

sampling and starts conversion (see Figure 16-4). The user application must time the setting and

clearing of the SAMP bit to ensure adequate sampling time for the input signal. Example 16-1

illustrates a code sequence for Manual Sample and Manual Conversion.

user software after a small interval of time after the conversion has already begun.

In general, the time interval will be 2 TCY.

In the Automatic Sample and Manual Conversion Sequence, sampling starts automatically after

conversion of the previous sample. The user application must allocate sufficient time for

16.3.5 Automatic Sample and Automatic Conversion Sequence

16.3.5.1 CLOCKED CONVERSION TRIGGER

The Auto Conversion method provides a more automated process to sample and convert the

analog inputs as shown in Figure 16-6. The sampling period is self-timed and the conversion

starts automatically upon termination of a self-timed sampling period. The Auto Sample Time bits

(SAMC<4:0>) in the ADxCON3 register (ADxCON3<12:8>) select 0 to 31 ADC clock cycles (TAD)

for sampling period. Refer to the ecific device data“Electrical Characteristics” chapter of the sp

sheet for a minimum recommended sampling time (SAMC value).

The SSRC<2:0> bits are set to ‘ ’ to choose the internal counter as the sample clock source,111

which ends sampling and starts conversion.

dsPIC33F/PIC24H Family Reference Manual

16.3.5.2 EXTERNAL CONVERSION TRIGGER

In an Automatic Sample and Triggered Conversion Sequence, the sampling starts automatically

after conversion and the conversion is started upon trigger event from the selected peripheral,

as shown in Figure 16-7. This allows ADC conversion to be synchronized with the internal or

external events. The external conversion trigger is selected by configuring the SSRC<2:0> bits

to ‘001’, ‘010’ or ‘011’. See 16.4.7 “Conversion Trigger Sources” for various external

conversion trigger sources.

The ASAM bit should not be modified while the ADC module is turned on. If automatic sampling

is desired, the ASAM bit must be set before turning the module on. The ADC module does take

some amount of time to stabilize (see the TPDU parameter in the specific device data sheet);

therefore, if automatic sampling is enabled, there is not guarantee that the first ADC result will be

correct until the ADC module stabilizes. It may be necessary to discard the first ADC result

depending on the analog-to-digital clock speed.

16.3.6 Multi-Channel Sample Conversion Sequence

Multi-channel ADC modules typically convert each input channel sequentially using an input

multiplexer. Simultaneously sampling multiple signals ensures that the snapshot of the analog

inputs occurs at precisely the same time for all inputs, as shown in Figure 16-8.

Certain applications require simultaneous sampling, especially when phase information exists

between different channels. Sequential sampling takes a snapshot of each analog input just

before conversion starts on that input, as shown in Figure 16-8. The sampling of multiple inputs

is not correlated. For example, motor control and power monitoring require voltage and current

measurements and the phase angle between them.

Figure 16-8: Simultaneous and Sequential Sampling

Figure 16-9 and Figure 16-10 illustrate the ADC module supports simultaneous sampling using

two S&H or four S&H channels to sample the inputs at the same instant and then perform the

conversion for each channel sequentially.

The Simultaneous Sampling mode is selected by setting Simultaneous Sampling bit (SIMSAM)

in the ADC Control Register 1 (ADxCON1<3>). By default, the channels are sampled and

converted sequentially. Table 16-4 lists the options selected by a specific bit configuration. The

CHPS<1:0> bits determine the channels to be sampled, either sequentially or simultaneously.

16.4 ADC CONFIGURATION

16.4.1 ADC Operational Mode Selection

The 12-bit Operation Mode bit (AD12B) in the ADC Control Register 1 (ADxCON1<10>) allows

the ADC module to function as either a 10-bit, 4-channel ADC (default configuration) or a 12-bit,

single-channel ADC. Table 16-5 lists the options selected by different bit settings.

Table 16-5: ADC Operational Mode

16.4.2 ADC Channel Selection

In 10-bit mode (AD12B = 0), the user application can select 1-channel (CH0), 2-channel (CH0,

CH1) or 4-channel mode (CH0-CH3) using the Channel Select bits (CHPS<1:0>) in the ADC

Control register (ADxCON2<9:8>). In 12-bit mode, the user application can only use CH0.

Table 16-6 lists the number of channels selected for the different bit settings.

Table 16-6: 10-bit ADC Channel Selection

16.4.3 Voltage Reference Selection

The voltage references for analog-to-digital conversions are selected using the Voltage

Reference Configuration bits (VCFG<2:0>) in the ADC Control register (ADxCON2<15:13>). The

voltage reference high (VREFH) and the voltage reference low (VREFL) to the ADC module can be

supplied from the internal AVDD and AVSS voltage rails or the external VREF+ and VREF- input

pins. The external voltage reference pins can be shared with the AN0 and AN1 inputs on low pin

count devices. The ADC module can still perform conversions on these pins when they are

shared with the VREF+ and VREF- input pins. The voltages applied to the external reference pins

must meet certain specifications. For details, refer to the “Electrical Characteristics” chapter

of the specific device data sheet. In addition, refer to the “Pin Diagrams” section in the specific

device data sheet for the availability of the VREF+ and VREF- pins.

16.4.4 ADC Clock Selection

The ADC module can be clocked from the instruction cycle clock (TCY) or by using the dedicated

internal RC clock (see Figure 16-13). When using the instruction cycle clock, a clock divider

drives the instruction cycle clock and allows a lower frequency to be chosen. The clock divider is

controlled by the ADC Conversion Clock Select bits (ADCS<7:0>) in the ADC Control register

(ADxCON3<7:0>), which allows 64 settings, from 1:1 to 1:64, to be chosen.

For correct analog-to-digital conversion, the ADC Clock period (TAD) must be a minimum of

75 ns.

Equation 16-6 shows the ADC Clock period (TAD) as a function of the ADCS control bits and the

device instruction cycle clock period, TCY.

Equation 16-6: ADC Clock Period

The ADC module has a dedicated internal RC clock source that can be used to perform

conversions. The internal RC clock source is used when analog-to-digital conversions are

performed while the device is in the Sleep mode. The internal RC oscillator is selected by setting

the ADC Conversion Clock Source bit (ADRC) in ster 3 (ADxCON3<15>). the ADC Control Regi

When the ADRC bit is set, the ADCS<7:0> bits have no effect on the ADC operation.

16.4.5 Output Data Format Selection

Figure 16-14 illustrates the ADC result is available in four different numerical formats. The Data

Output Format bits (FORM<1:0>) in the ADC Control register (ADxCON1<9:8>), selects the

output data format. Table 16-8 lists the ADC output format for different bit settings.

Note: Refer to the “Electrical Characteristics” chapter in the specific device data sheet

for ADRC frequency specifications.

16.4.6 Sample and Conversion Operation (SMPI) Bits

The function of the Samples Per Interrupt control bits (SMPI<3:0>) in the ADC Control Register

2 (ADxCON2<5:2>) for devices with DMA is completely different from the function of the

SMPI<3:0> bits for devices without DMA.

For devices without DMA, the SMPI<3:0> bits are referred to as the Number of Samples Per

Interrupt Select bits. For devices with DMA, the SMPI<3:0> bits are referred to as the Increment

Rate for DMA Address Select bit.

16.4.6.1 SMPI FOR DEVICES WITHOUT DMA

For devices without DMA, an interrupt can be generated at the end of each sample/convert

sequence or after multiple sample/convert sequences, as determined by the value of the

SMPI<3:0> bits. The number of sample/convert sequences between interrupts can vary between

1 and 16. The total number of conversion results between interrupts is the product of the number

of channels per sample created by the CHPS<1:0> bits and the value of the SMPI<3:0> bits. See

16.5 “ADC Interrupt Generation” for the SMPI values for various sampling modes.

16.4.6.2 SMPI FOR DEVICES WITH DMA

For devices with DMA, if multiple conversion results need to be buffered, DMA should be used

with the ADC module to store the conversion results in a DMA buffer. In this case, the SMPI<3:0>

bits are used to select how often the DMA RAM buffer pointer is incremented. The number of

increments of the DMA RAM buffer pointer should not exceed the DMA RAM buffer length per

input as specified by the DMABL<2:0> bits. An ADC interrupt is generated after completion of

every conversion, regardless of the SMPI<3:0> bits settings.

When single or dual or multiple channels are enabled in simultaneous or sequential sampling

modes (and CH0 channel scanning is disabled), the SMPI<3:0> bits are set to ‘0’, indicating the

DMA address pointer will increment every sample.

When all single or dual or multiple channels are enabled in simultaneous or sequential sampling

modes with Alternate Input Selection mode enabled (and CH0 channel scanning is disabled), set

SMPI<3:0> = 001 to allow two samples per DMA address point increment.

When channel scanning is used (and Alternate Input Selection mode is disabled), the SMPI<3:0>

bits should be set to the number of inputs being scanned minus one (i.e., SMPI<3:0> = N - 1).

16.4.7 Conversion Trigger Sources

It is often desirable to synchronize the end of sampling and the start of conversion with some

other time event. The ADC module can use one of the following sources as a conversion trigger:

• External Interrupt Trigger (INT0 only)

• Timer Interrupt Trigger

• Motor Control PWM Special Event Trigger (dsPIC33F Motor Control Devices Only)

16.4.7.1 EXTERNAL INTERRUPT TRIGGER (INT0 ONLY)

When SSRC<2:0> = 001, the analog-to-digital conversion is triggered by an active transition on

the INT0 pin. The INT0 pin can be programmed for either a rising edge input or a falling edge

input.

16.4.7.2 TIMER INTERRUPT TRIGGER

This ADC module trigger mode is configured by setting SSRC<2:0> = 010. TMR3 (for ADC1)

and TMR5 (for ADC2) can be used to trigger the start of the analog-to-digital conversion when a

match occurs between the 16-bit Timer Count register (TMRx) and the 16-bit Timer Period

conversion. When SSRC<2:0> = 100, the timers are swapped (e.g., TMR5 is used with ADC1

and TMR3 is used with ADC2).

Note: If a manual conversion trigger is used and the number of samples per interrupt is

greater than the number of channels per sample, the SAMP bit (ADxCON1<1>)

must be manually cleared at suitable intervals in order to generate a sufficient

number of ADC conversions.

Section 16. Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

Analog-to-Digital

Converter (ADC)

16.4.7.3 MOTOR CONTROL PWM SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER

(dsPIC33F MOTOR CONTROL DEVICES ONLY)

The PWM module has an event trigger that allows analog-to-digital conversions to be

synchronized to the PWM time base. When SSRC<2:0> = 011, the analog-to-digital sampling

and conversion times occur at any user programmable point within the PWM period. The Special

Event Trigger allows the user to minimize the delay between the time when the analog-to-digital

conversion results are acquired and the time when the duty cycle value is updated.

The application should set the ASAM bit in order to ensure that the ADC module has sampled

the input sufficiently before the next conversion trigger arrives.

16.4.8 Configuring Analog Port Pins

The Analog/Digital Pin Configuration register (ADxPCFGL) specifies the input condition of device

pins used as analog inputs. Along with the Data Direction register (TRISx) in the Parallel I/O Port

module, these registers control the operation of the ADC pins.

A pin is configured as an analog input when the corresponding PCFGn bit (ADxPCFGL<n>) is

clear. The ADxPCFGL register is cleared at Reset, causing the ADC input pins to be configured

for analog input by default at Reset.

When configured for analog input, the associated port I/O digital input buffer is disabled so that

it does not consume current.

The port pins that are desired as analog inputs must have their corresponding TRIS bit set,

specifying the port input. If the I/O pin associated with an analog-to-digital input is configured as

an output, the TRIS bit is cleared and the digital output level (VOH or VOL) of the port is converted.

After a device Reset, all TRIS bits are set.

A pin is configured as a digital I/O when the corresponding PCFGn bit is set. In this configuration,

the input to the analog multiplexer is connected to AVSS.

16.4.9 Enabling the ADC Module

When the ADON bit (ADxCON1<15>) is ‘1’, the module is in active mode and is fully powered

and functional.

When ADON is ‘0’, the module is disabled. The digital and analog portions of the circuit are

turned off for maximum current savings.

To return to the active mode from the off mode, the user application must wait for the analog

stages to stabilize. For the stabilization time, refer to the “Electrical Characteristics” chapter

of the specific device data sheet.

Note 1: When the ADC Port register is read, any pin configured as an analog input reads

as a ‘0’.

2: Analog levels on any pin that is defined as a digital input may cause the input buffer

to consume current that is out of the device specification.

Note: The SSRC<2:0>, SIMSAM, ASAM, CHPS<1:0>, SMPI<3:0>, BUFM and ALTS bits,

as well as the ADCON3 and ADCSSL registers, should not be written to, while

ADON = 1. This would lead to indeterminate results.

dsPIC33F/PIC24H Family Reference Manual

16.4.10 Turning the ADC Module Off

Clearing the ADON bit disables the ADC module (stops any scanning, sampling and conversion

processes). In this state, the ADC module still consumes some current. Setting the ADxMD bit in

the PMD register will disable the ADC module and will stop the ADC clock source, which reduces

device current consumption. Note that setting the ADxMD bit and then clearing the bit will reset

the ADC module registers to their default state. Additionally, any digital pins that share their

function with an ADC input pin revert to the analog function. While the ADxMD bit is set, these

pins will be set to digital function. In this case, the ADxPCFG bits will not have any effect.

Note: Clearing the ADON bit during a conversion will abort the current analog-to-digital

conversion. The ADC buffer will not be updated with the partially completed

conversion sample.

Section 16. Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

Analog-to-Digital

Converter (ADC)

16.5 ADC INTERRUPT GENERATION

With DMA enabled, the SMPI<3:0> bits (ADxCON2<5:2>) determine the number of

sample/conversion operations per channel (CH0/CH1/CH2/CH3) for every DMA

address/increment pointer.

The SMPI<3:0> bits have no effect when the ADC module is set up such that DMA buffers are

written in Conversion Order mode.

If DMA transfers are enabled, the SMPI<3:0> bits must be cleared, except when channel

scanning or alternate sampling is used. For more details on SMPI<3:0> setup requirements, see

16.7 “Specifying Conversion Results Buffering for Devices with DMA”.

When the SIMSAM bit (ADxCON1<3>) specifies sequential sampling, regardless of the number

of channels specified by the CHPS<1:0> bits (ADxCON2<9:8>), the ADC module samples once

for each conversion and data sample in the buffer. The value specified by the DMAxCNT register

for the DMA channel being used corresponds to the number of data samples in the buffer.

For devices with DMA, interrupts are generated after every conversion, which sets the DONE bit

since it reflects the interrupt flag (ADxIF) setting.

For devices without DMA, as conversions are completed, the ADC module writes the results of

the conversions into the analog-to-digital result buffer. The ADC result buffer is an array of

sixteen words, accessed through the SFR space. The user application may attempt to read each

analog-to-digital conversion result as it is generated. However, this might consume too much

CPU time. Generally, to simplify the code, the module fills the buffer with results and generates

an interrupt when the buffer is filled. The ADC module supports 16 result buffers. Therefore, the

maximum number of conversions per interrupt must not exceed 16.

The number of conversion per ADC interrupt depends on the following parameters, which can

vary from one to 16 conversions per interrupt.

• Number of S&H channels selected

• Sequential or Simultaneous Sampling

• Samples Convert Sequences Per Interrupt bits (SMPI<3:0>) settings

Table 16-9 lists the number of conversions per ADC interrupt for different configuration modes.

Table 16-9: Samples Per Interrupt in Alternate Sampling Mode

The DONE bit (ADxCON1<0>) is set when an ADC interrupt is generated to indicate completion

of a required sample/conversion sequence. This bit is automatically cleared by the hardware at

the beginning of the next sample/conversion sequence.

On devices without DMA, interrupt generation is based on the SMPI<3:0> and CHPS bits, so the

DONE bit is not set after every conversion, but is set when the Interrupt Flag (ADxIF) is set.

than eight.

2: In 4-channel Simultaneous Sampling mode, SMPI<3:0> bit settings must be less

than four.

dsPIC33F/PIC24H Family Reference Manual

16.5.1 Buffer Fill Mode

When the Buffer Fill Mode bit (BUFM) in the ADC Control Register 2 (ADxCON2<1>) is ‘1’, the

16-word results buffer is split into two 8-word groups: a lower group (ADC1BUF0 through

ADC1BUF7) and an upper group (ADC1BUF8 through ADC1BUFF). The 8-word buffers

alternately receive the conversion results after each ADC interrupt event. When the BUFM bit is

set, each buffer size is equal to eight. Therefore, the maximum number of conversions per

interrupt must not exceed eight.

When the BUFM bit is ‘0’, the complete 16-word buffer is used for all conversion sequences. The

decision to use the split buffer feature depends on the time available to move the buffer contents,

after the interrupt, as determined by the application.

If the application can quickly unload a full buffer within the time taken to sample and convert one

channel, the BUFM bit can be ‘0’, and up to 16 conversions may be done per interrupt. The

application has one sample/convert time before the first buffer location is overwritten. If the

processor cannot unload the buffer within the sample and conversion time, the BUFM bit should

be ‘1’. For example, if an ADC interrupt is generated every eight conversions, the processor has

the entire time between interrupts to move the eight conversions out of the buffer.

16.5.2 Buffer Fill Status

When the conversion result buffer is split using the BUFM control bit, the BUFS Status bit

(ADxCON2<7>) indicates, half of the buffer that the ADC module is currently writing. If BUFS = 0,

the ADC module is filling the lower group, and the user application should read conversion values

from the upper group. If BUFS = 1, the situation is reversed, and the user application should read

conversion values from the lower group.

16.6 ANALOG INPUT SELECTION FOR CONVERSION

The ADC module provides a flexible mechanism to select analog inputs for conversion:

• Fixed input selection

• Alternate input selection

• Channel scanning (CH0 only)

16.6.1 Fixed Input Selection

The 10-bit ADC configuration can use up to four S&H channels, designated CH0-CH3, whereas

the 12-bit ADC configuration can use only one S&H channel, CH0. The S&H channels are

connected to the analog input pins through the analog multiplexer.

When ALTS = 0, the CH0SA<4:0>, CH0NA, CH123SA and CH123NA<1:0> bits select the

analog inputs.

Table 16-10: Analog Input Selection

All four channels can be enabled in simultaneous or sequential sampling modes by configuring

the CHPS bit and the SIMSAM bit.

For devices with DMA, the SM ’, indicating the DMA address pointer willPI<3:0> bits are set to ‘0

increment every sample.

Example 16-3 shows the code sequence to set up ADC inputs for a 4-channel ADC

configuration.

dsPIC33F/PIC24H Family Reference Manual

16.6.2 Alternate Input Selection Mode

In an Alternate Input Selection mode, the MUXA and MUXB control bits select the channel for

conversion. The ADC completes one sweep using the MUXA selection, and then another sweep

using the MUXB selection, and then another sweep using the MUXA selection, and so on. The

Alternate Input Selection mode is enabled by setting the Alternate Sample bit (ALTS) in the ADC

Control Register 2 (ADxCON2<0>).

The analog input multiplexer is controlled by the AD1CHS123 and AD1CHS0 registers. There

are two sets of control bits designated as MUXA (CHySA/CHyNA) and MUXB (CHySB/CHyNB)

to select a particular input source for conversion. The MUXB control bits are used in Alternate

Input Selection mode.

Table 16-11: Analog Input Selection

For Alternate Input Selection mode in devices without DMA, an ADC interrupt must be generated

after an even number of sample/conversion sequences by programming the Samples Convert

Sequences Per Interrupt bits (SMPI<3:0>). Table 16-12 lists the valid SMPI values for Alternate

Input Selection mode in different ADC configurations.

mode for devices without DMA in the 4-Channel Simultaneous Sampling configuration.

16.6.3 Channel Scanning

The ADC module supports the Channel Scan mode using CH0 (S&H channel ‘0’). The number

of inputs scanned is software selectable. Any subset of the analog inputs from AN0 to AN31

(AN0-AN12 for devices without DMA) can be selected for conversion. The selected inputs are

converted in ascending order. For example, if the input selection includes AN4, AN1 and AN3,

the conversion sequence is AN1, AN3 and AN4. The conversion sequence selection is made by

programming the Channel Select register (AD1CSSL). A logic ‘1’ in the Channel Select register

marks the associated analog input channel for inclusion in the conversion sequence. The

Channel Scanning mode is enabled by setting the Channel Scan bit (CSCNA) in the ADC Control

ADC module sequences through the enabled channels.

In devices without DMA, for every sample/convert sequence, one analog input is scanned. The

ADC interrupt must be generated after all selected channels are scanned. If “N” inputs are

enabled for channel scan, an interrupt must be generated after “N” sample/convert sequence.

Table 16-13 lists the SMPI values to scan “N” analog inputs using CH0 in different ADC

configurations.

16.7 SPECIFYING CONVERSION RESULTS BUFFERING FOR DEVICES WITH

DMA

The ADC module contains a single-word, read-only, dual-port register (ADCxBUF0), which

stores the analog-to-digital conversion result. If more than one conversion result needs to be

buffered before triggering an interrupt, DMA data transfers can be used. Both ADC channels

(ADC1 and ADC2) can trigger a DMA data transfer. Depending on which ADC channel is

selected as the DMA IRQ source, a DMA transfer occurs when the ADC Conversion Complete

Interrupt Flag Status bit (AD1IF or AD2IF) in the Interrupt Flag Status Register (IFS0 or IFS1,

respectively) in the Interrupt Module gets set as a result of a sample conversion sequence.

The result of every analog-to-digital conversion is stored in the ADCxBUF0 register. If a DMA

channel is not enabled for the ADC module, each result should be read by the user application

before it gets overwritten by the next conversion result. However, if DMA is enabled, multiple con-

version results can be automatically transferred from ADCxBUF0 to a user-defined buffer in the

DMA RAM area. Thus, the application can process several conversion results with minimal soft-

ware overhead.

The DMA Buffer Build Mode bit (ADDMABM) in ADCx Control Register 1 (ADxCON1<12>) deter-

mines how the conversion results are filled in the DMA RAM buffer area being used for the ADC.

If this bit is set (ADDMABM = 1), DMA buffers are written in the order of conversion. The ADC

module provides an address to the DMA channel that is the same as the address used for the

non-DMA stand-alone buffer. If the ADDMABM bit is cleared, then DMA buffers are written in

Scatter/Gather mode. The ADC module provides a Scatter/Gather address to the DMA channel,

based on the index of the analog input and the size of the DMA buffer.

When the SIMSAM bit specifies simultaneous sampling, the number of data samples in the buffer

is related to the CHPS<1:0> bits. Algorithmically, the channels per sample (CH/S) times the num-

ber of samples results in the number of data sample entries in the buffer. To avoid loss of data in

the buffer due to overruns, the DMAxCNT register must be set to the desired buffer size.

When the ADC module is simultaneously sampling two or more ADC channels and CH0 is in

channel scanning mode, there is a limit of 16 conversions, after which time the ADC module

restarts conversion from the first ADC input in CH0. When operating the ADC module in this

mode, the DMAxCNT register must be set to 15 to avoid data loss due to buffer overrun.

Disabling the ADC interrupt is not done with the SMPI<3:0> bits. To disable the interrupt, clear

the ADxIE analog module interrupt enable bit.

16.7.1 Using DMA in the Scatter/Gather Mode

When the ADDMABM bit is ‘0’, the Scatter/Gather mode is enabled. In this mode, the DMA chan-

nel must be configured for Peripheral Indirect Addressing. The DMA buffer is divided into con-

secutive memory blocks corresponding to all available analog inputs (out of AN0 - AN31). Each

conversion result for a particular analog input is automatically transferred by the ADC module to

the corresponding block within the user-defined DMA buffer area. Successive samples for the

same analog input are stored in sequence within the block assigned to that input.

The number of samples that need to be stored in the DMA buffer for each analog input is

specified by the DMABL<2:0> bits (ADxCON4<2:0>).

The buffer locations within each block are accessed by the ADC module using an internal pointer,

which is initialized to ‘0’ when the ADC module is enabled. When this internal pointer reaches

the value defined by the DMABL<2:0> bits, it gets reset to ‘0’. This ensures that conversion

results of one analog input do not corrupt the conversion results of other analog inputs. The rate

at which this internal pointer is incremented when data is written to the DMA buffer is specified

by the SMPI<3:0> bits.

Note: For information about how to configure a DMA channel to transfer data from the

ADC buffer and define a corresponding DMA buffer area from where the data can

be accessed by the application, please refer to Section 22. “Direct Memory

Access (DMA)” (DS70182). For specific information about the Interrupt registers,

please refer to Section 6. “Interrupts” (DS70184).

Section 16. Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

Analog-to-Digital

Converter (ADC)

When no channel scanning or alternate sampling is required, SMPI<3:0> should be cleared,

implying that the pointer will increment on every sample per channel. Thus, it is theoretically pos-

sible to use every location in the DMA buffer for the blocks assigned to the analog inputs being

sampled.

In the example illustrated in Figure 16-23, it can be observed that the conversion results for the

AN0, AN1 and AN2 inputs are stored in sequence, leaving no unused locations in their

corresponding memory blocks. However, for the four analog inputs (AN4, AN5, AN6 and AN7)

that are scanned by CH0, the first location in the AN5 block, the first two locations in the AN6

block and the first three locations in the AN7 block are unused, resulting in a relatively inefficient

arrangement of data in the DMA buffer.

When scanning is used, and no simultaneous sampling is performed (SIMSAM = 0), SMPI<3:0>

should be set to one less than the number of inputs being scanned. For example, if CHPS<1:0> = 00

(only one S&H channel is used), and AD1CSSL = 0xFFFF, indicating that AN0-AN15 are being

scanned, then set SMPI<3:0> = 1111 so that the internal pointer is incremented only after every

sixteenth sample/conversion sequence. This avoids unused locations in the blocks corresponding to

the analog inputs being scanned.

Similarly, if ALTS = 1, indicating that alternating analog input selections are used, then

SMPI<3:0> is set to ‘0001’, thereby incrementing the internal pointer after every second sample.

Note: The ADC module does not perform limit checks on the generated buffer addresses.

For example, you must ensure that the Least Significant bits (LSbs) of the DMAx-

STA or DMAxSTB register used are indeed ‘0’. Also, the number of potential analog

inputs multiplied by the buffer size specified by DMABL<2:0> must not exceed the

total length of the DMA buffer.

16.7.2 Using DMA in the Conversion Order Mode

When the ADDMABM bit (ADCON1<12>) = 1, the Conversion Order mode is enabled. In this

mode, the DMA channel can be configured for Register Indirect or Peripheral Indirect

Addressing. All conversion results are stored in the user-specified DMA buffer area in the same

order in which the conversions are performed by the ADC module. In this mode, the buffer is not

divided into blocks allocated to different analog inputs. Rather the conversion results from

different inputs are interleaved according to the specific buffer fill modes being used.

In this configuration, the buffer pointer is always incremented by one word. In this case, the

SMPI<3:0> bits (ADxCON2<5:2>) must be cleared and the DMABL<2:0> bits (ADxCON4<2:0>)

are ignored.

Figure 16-24 illustrates an example identical to the configuration in Figure 16-23, but using the

Conversion Order mode. In this example, the DMAxCNT register has been configured to

generate the DMA interrupt after 16 conversion results have been obtained.

16.9 ADC CONFIGURATION FOR 1.1 Msps

When the device is running at 40 MIPS, the ADC module can be configured to sample at a

1.1 Msps throughput rate with 10-bit resolution.

The ADC module is set to 10-bit operation by setting the AD12B bit to ‘0’ (ADxCON1<10>). The

ASAM bit (ADxCON1<3>) is set to ‘1’ to begin sampling automatically after the conversion

completes. The internal counter, which ends sampling and starts conversion, is set as the sample

clock source by setting the SSRC<2:0> bits = 111 (ADxCON1<7:5>). The system clock is

selected to be the ADC conversion clock by setting the ADRC bit to ‘0’ (ADxCON3<15>). The

automatic sample time bit is set to less than 12 TAD. The ADC conversion clock is configured to

75 ns by setting the ADCS<7:0> bits to ‘00000010’ (ADxCON3<7:0>), as calculated in

Equation 16-7.

Equation 16-7: ADC Conversion Clock When Running at 40 MIPS

For devices that run up to 16 MIPS, ADC speed of 1.1 Msps is still achievable when the CPU is

running at 13.3 MIPS. The ADC conversion clock is configured to 75 ns by setting the

ADCS<7:0> bits to ‘00000000’, as calculated in Equation 16-8.

Equation 16-8: ADC Conversion Clock When Running at 13.3 MIPS

The ADC conversion time will be 12 TAD since the ADC module is configured for10-bit operation,

as calculated in Equation 16-9.

Equation 16-9: ADC Conversion Time

The ADC channels CH0 and CH1 (CHPS<1:0> = 01) are set up to convert analog input AN0 or

AN3 (only one at any time) in sequential mode (SIMSAM = 0). Figure 16-25 illustrates the

sampling sequence.

Figure 16-25: Sampling Sequence for 1.1 Msps

For devices with DMA, the DMA channel can be configured in Ping-Pong mode to move the

converted data from the ADC to DMA RAM. See the ADC and DMA configuration code in

Example 16-8.

For devices without DMA, the ADC configuration remains the same. The samples are transferred

to ADC1BUF0-ADC1BUFF at a rate of 1.1 Msps. The data can be processed by accessing half

of the buffers at a time by setting the BUFS bit.

TAD = TCY * (ADCS<7:0> + 1) = (1/40M) * 3 = 75 ns (13.3 MHz)

TAD = TCY * (ADCS<7:0> + 1) = (1/13.3M) * 1 = 75 ns (13.3 MHz)

16.10 SAMPLE AND CONVERSION SEQUENCE EXAMPLES FOR DEVICES

WITHOUT DMA

The following configuration examples show the analog-to-digital operation in different sampling

and buffering configurations. In each example, setting the ASAM bit starts automatic sampling.

A conversion trigger ends sampling and starts conversion.

16.10.1 Sampling and Converting a Single Channel Multiple Times

Figure 16-26 Table 16-14 and illustrate a basic configuration of the ADC. In this case, one ADC

input, AN0, is sampled by one S&H channel, CH0, and converted. The results are stored in the

ADC buffer (ADC1BUF0-ADC1BUFF). This process repeats 16 times until the buffer is full and

then the ADC module generates an interrupt. The entire process then repeats.

The CHPS bits specify that only S&H CH0 is active. With ALTS clear, only the MUXA inputs are

active. The CH0SA bits and CH0NA bit are specified (AN0-VREF-) as the input to the S&H

channel. All other input selection bits are not used.

16.10.2 Analog-to-Digital Conversions While Scanning Through All

Analog Inputs

Figure 16-27 Table 16-15 and illustrate a typical setup where all available analog input channels

are sampled by one S&H channel, CH0, and converted. The Set Scan Input Selection bit

(CSCNA) in the ADC Control Register 2 (ADxCON2<10>) specifies scanning of the ADC inputs

to the CH0 positive input. Other conditions are similar to those described in 16.10.1 “Sampling

and Converting a Single Channel Multiple Times”.

Initially, the AN0 input is sampled by CH0 and converted, and then the AN1 input is sampled and

converted. This process of scanning the inputs repeats 16 times until the buffer is full. The result

is stored in the ADC buffer (ADC1BUFA-ADC1BUFF). Then, the ADC module generates an

interrupt. The entire process then repeats.

16.10.3 Sampling Three Inputs Frequently While Scanning Four Other

Inputs

Figure 16-28 and Table 16-16 illustrate how the ADC module could be configured to sample

three inputs frequently using S&H channe57

ls CH1, CH2 and CH3; while four other inputs are sampled less frequently by scanning them

using S&H channel CH0. In this case, only MUXA inputs are used, and all four channels are

sampled simultaneously. Four different inputs (AN4, AN5, AN6, AN7) are scanned in CH0,

whereas AN0, AN1 and AN2 are the fixed inputs for CH1, CH2 and CH3, respectively. Thus, in

every set of 16 samples, AN0, AN1 and AN2 are sampled four times, while AN4, AN5, AN6 and

AN7 are sampled only once each.

16 samples are converted and buffered in ADC1BUF0-ADC1BUFF.

16.10.4 Using Alternating MUXA, MUXB Input Selections

Figure 16-29 and Table 16-17 demonstrate alternate sampling of the inputs assigned to MUXA

and MUXB. In this example, two channels are enabled to sample simultaneously. Setting the

ALTS bit (ADCxCON2<0>) enables alternating input selections. The first sample uses the MUXA

inputs specified by the CH0SA, CH0NA, CH123SA and CH123NA bits. The next sample uses

the MUXB inputs specified by the CH0SB, CH0NB, CH123SB and CH123NB bits. In this

example, one of the MUXB input specifications uses two analog inputs as a differential source to

the S&H, sampling (AN3-AN9).

Note that using four S&H channels without alternating input selections results in the same

number of conversions as this example, using two channels with alternating input selections.

However, because the CH1, CH2 and CH3 channels are more limited in the selectivity of the

analog inputs, this example method provides more flexibility of input selection than using four

channels.

16.10.5 Sampling Eight Inputs Using Simultaneous Sampling

This and the next example demonstrate identical setups with the exception that this example

uses simultaneous sampling (SIMSAM = 1), and the following example uses sequential sampling

(SIMSAM = 0). Both examples use alternating inputs and specify differential inputs to the S&H.

Figure 16-30 and Table 16-18 demonstrate simultaneous sampling. When converting more than

one channel and selecting simultaneous sampling, the ADC module samples all channels, then

performs the required conversions in sequence. In this example, with ASAM set, sampling begins

after the conversions complete.

16.10.6 Sampling Eight Inputs Using Sequential Sampling

Figure 16-31 and Table 16-19 demonstrate sequential sampling. When converting more than

one channel and selecting sequential sampling, the ADC module starts sampling a channel at

the earliest opportunity, then performs the required conversions in sequence. In this example,

with ASAM set, sampling of a channel begins after the conversion of that channel completes.

When ASAM is clear, sampling does not resume after conversion completion but occurs when

the SAMP bit is set.

When utilizing more than one channel, sequential sampling provides more sampling time since

a channel can be sampled while conversion occurs on another.

Figure 16-32 Table 16-20 and illustrate a basic configuration of the ADC. In this case, one ADC

input, AN0, is sampled by one S&H channel, CH0, and converted. The results are stored in the

user-configured DMA RAM buffer. This process repeats 16 times until the buffer is full and then

the DMA module generates an interrupt. The entire process then repeats.

The CHPS<1:0> bits specify that only S&H CH0 is active. With ALTS clear, only the MUXA inputs

are active. The CH0SA bits and CH0NA bit are specified (AN0-VREF-) as the input to the S&H

channel. All other input selection bits are not used.

16.11.2 Analog-to-Digital Conversions While Scanning Through All

Analog Inputs

Figure 16-33 Table 16-21 and illustrate a typical setup where all available analog input channels

are sampled by one S&H channel, CH0, and converted. The Set Scan Input Selection bit

(CSCNA) in the ADC Control Register 2 (ADxCON2<10>) specifies scanning of the ADC inputs

to the CH0 positive input. Other conditions are similar to those described in 16.10.1 “Sampling

and Converting a Single Channel Multiple Times”.

Initially, the AN0 input is sampled by CH0 and converted. The result is stored in the

user-configured DMA buffer. Then the AN1 input is sampled and converted. This process of

scanning the inputs repeats 16 times until the buffer is full. Then the DMA module generates an

interrupt. The entire process then repeats.

16.11.3 Using Alternating MUXA, MUXB Input Selections

Figure 16-34 and Table 16-22 demonstrate alternate sampling of the inputs assigned to MUXA

and MUXB. In this example, two channels are enabled to sample simultaneously. Setting the

ALTS bit (ADCxCON2<0>) enables alternating input selections. The first sample uses the MUXA

inputs specified by the CH0SA, CH0NA, CH123SA and CH123NA bits. The next sample uses

the MUXB inputs specified by the CH0SB, CH0NB, CH123SB and CH123NB bits. In this

example, one of the MUXB input specifications uses two analog inputs as a differential source to

the S&H, sampling (AN3-AN9).

Note that using four S&H channels without alternating input selections results in the same

number of conversions as this example, using two channels with alternating input selections.

However, because the CH1, CH2 and CH3 channels are more limited in the selectivity of the

analog inputs, this example method provides more flexibility of input selection than using four

channels.

16.11.4 Sampling Eight Inputs Using Simultaneous Sampling

This and the next example demonstrate identical setups with the exception that this example

uses simultaneous sampling (SIMSAM = 1), and the following example uses sequential sampling

(SIMSAM = 0). Both examples use alternating inputs and specify differential inputs to the S&H.

Figure 16-35 and Table 16-23 demonstrate simultaneous sampling. When converting more than

one channel and selecting simultaneous sampling, the ADC module samples all channels, then

performs the required conversions in sequence. In this example, with ASAM set, sampling begins

after the conversions complete.

16.11.5 Sampling Eight Inputs Using Sequential Sampling

Figure 16-36 and Table 16-24 demonstrate sequential sampling. When converting more than

one channel and selecting sequential sampling, the ADC module starts sampling a channel at

the earliest opportunity, then performs the required conversions in sequence. In this example,

with ASAM set, sampling of a channel begins after the conversion of that channel completes.

When ASAM is clear, sampling does not resume after conversion completion but occurs when

the SAMP bit is set.

When utilizing more than one channel, sequential sampling provides more sampling time since

a channel can be sampled while conversion occurs on another.

16.12 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS

The analog input model of the 10-bit and 12-bit ADC modes are shown in Figure 16-37 and

Figure 16-38. The total sampling time for the analog-to-digital conversion is a function of the

internal amplifier settling time and the holding capacitor charge time.

For the ADC module to meet its specified accuracy, the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must

be allowed to fully charge to the voltage level on the analog input pin. The analog output source

impedance (RS), the interconnect impedance (RIC) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)

impedance combine to directly affect the time required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The

combined impedance must, therefore, be small enough to fully charge the holding capacitor

within the chosen sample time. To minimize the effects of pin leakage currents on the accuracy

of the ADC module, the maximum recommended source impedance, RS, is 200Ω. After the

analog input channel is selected, this sampling function must be completed prior to starting the

conversion. The internal holding capacitor will be in a discharged state prior to each sample

operation.

A minimum time period should be allowed between conversions for the sample time. For more

details about the minimum sampling time for a device, refer to the “Electrical Characteristics”

chapter of the specific device data sheet.

The RAM is 10 bits or 12 bits wide, but the data is automatically formatted to one of four

selectable formats when the buffer is read. The FORM<1:0> bits (ADCON1<9:8>) select the

format. The formatting hardware provides a 16-bit result on the data bus for all of the data

formats. Figure 16-39 and Figure 16-40 illustrate the data output formats that can be selected

using the FORM<1:0> control bits.

16.15 ADC ACCURACY/ERROR

Refer to the “Electrical Characteristics” chapter of the specific device data sheet for informa-

tion on the INL, DNL, gain and offset errors. In addition, see 16.21 “Related Application Notes”

for a list of documents that discuss ADC accuracy.

16.16 CONNECTION CONSIDERATIONS

Since the analog inputs employ ESD protection, they have diodes to VDD and VSS. As a result,

the analog input must be between VDD and VSS. If the input voltage exceeds this range by greater

than 0.3 V (either direction), one of the diodes becomes forward biased, and it may damage the

device if the input current specification is exceeded.

An external RC filter is sometimes added for anti-aliasing of the input signal. The R component

should be selected to ensure that the sampling time requirements are satisfied. Any external

components connected (via high-impedance) to an analog input pin (capacitor, zener diode, etc.)

should have very little leakage current at the pin.

Analog-to-Digital

Converter (ADC)

16.17 OPERATION DURING SLEEP AND IDLE MODES

Sleep and Idle modes are useful for minimizing conversion noise because the digital activity of

the CPU, buses and other peripherals is minimized.

16.17.1 CPU Sleep Mode without RC Analog-to-Digital Clock

When the device enters Sleep mode, all clock sources to the ADC module are shut down and

stay at logic ‘0’.

If Sleep occurs in the middle of a conversion, the conversion is aborted unless the ADC is

clocked from its internal RC clock generator. The converter does not resume a partially

completed conversion on exiting from Sleep mode.

16.17.2 CPU Sleep Mode with RC Analog-to-Digital Clock

The ADC module can operate during Sleep mode if the analog-to-digital clock source is set to

the internal analog-to-digital RC oscillator (ADRC = 1). This eliminates digital switching noise

from the conversion. When the conversion is completed, the DONE bit is set and the result is

loaded into the ADC Result buffer, ADCxBUF0.

If the ADC interrupt is enabled (ADxIE = 1), the device wakes up from Sleep when the ADC

interrupt occurs. Program execution resumes at the ADC Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) if the

ADC interrupt is greater than the current CPU priority. Otherwise, execution continues from the

instruction after the PWRSAV instruction that placed the device in Sleep mode.

If the ADC interrupt is not enabled, the ADC module is turned off, although the ADON bit remains

set.

To minimize the effects of digital noise on the ADC module operation, the user should select a

conversion trigger source that ensures the analog-to-digital conversion will take place in Sleep

mode. The automatic conversion trigger option can be used for sampling and conversion in Sleep

(SSRC<2:0> = 111). To use the automatic conversion option, the ADON bit should be set in the

instruction before the PWRSAV instruction.

16.17.3 ADC Operation During CPU Idle Mode

For the analog-to-digital conversion, the ADSIDL bit (ADxCON1<13>) selects if the ADC module

stops or continues on Idle. If ADSIDL = 0, the ADC module continues normal operation when the

device enters Idle mode. If the ADC interrupt is enabled (ADxIE = 1), the device wakes up from

Idle mode when the ADC interrupt occurs. Program execution resumes at the ADC Interrupt

Service Routine if the ADC interrupt is greater than the current CPU priority. Otherwise,

execution continues from the instruction after the PWRSAV instruction that placed the device in

Idle mode.

If ADSIDL = 1, the ADC module stops in Idle. If the device enters Idle mode in the middle of a

conversion, the conversion is aborted. The converter does not resume a partially completed

conversion on exiting from Idle mode.

16.18 EFFECTS OF A RESET

A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state. This forces the ADC module to be turned

off and any conversion in progress to be aborted. All pins that are multiplexed with analog inputs

are configured as analog inputs. The corresponding TRIS bits are set.

The value in the ADCxBUF0 register is not initialized during a Power-on Reset (POR) and

contain unknown data.

Note: For the ADC module to operate in Sleep, the ADC clock source must be set to RC

(ADRC = 1).

16.20 DESIGN TIPS

Question 1: How can I optimize the system performance of the ADC module?

Answer: Here are three suggestions for optimizing performance:

1. Make sure you are meeting all of the timing specifications. If you are turning

the ADC module off and on, there is a minimum delay you must wait before

taking a sample. If you are changing input channels, there is a minimum

delay you must wait for this as well. Finally, there is TAD, which is the time

selected for each bit conversion. TAD is selected in ADxCON3 and should

be within a range as specified in the “Electrical Characteristics” chapter

of the specific device data sheet. If TAD is too short, the result may not be

fully converted before the conversion is terminated. If TAD is too long, the

voltage on the sampling capacitor can decay before the conversion is

complete. These timing specifications are provided in the “Electrical

Characteristics” chapter of the specific device data sheet.

2. Often the source impedance of the analog signal is high (greater than

10 kΩ), so the current drawn from the source to charge the sample capac-

itor can affect accuracy. If the input signal does not change too quickly, try

putting a 0.1 μF capacitor on the analog input. This capacitor charges to the

analog voltage being sampled and supplies the instantaneous current

needed to charge the 4.4 pF internal holding capacitor.

3. Put the device into Sleep mode before the start of the analog-to-digital con-

version. The RC clock source selection is required for conversions in Sleep

mode. This technique increases accuracy because digital noise from the

CPU and other peripherals is minimized.

Question 2: Do you know of a good reference on ADCs?

Answer: A good reference for understanding analog-to-digital conversions is the

“Analog-Digital Conversion Handbook” third edition, published by Prentice Hall

(ISBN 0-13-03-2848-0).

Question 3: My combination of channels/sample and samples/interrupt is greater than

the size of the buffer. What will happen to the buffer?

Answer: This configuration is not recommended. The buffer will contain unknown results.
