4.7 Analog-To-Digital Converter (ADC)

The analog-to-digital circuitry consists of an 8-bit analog multiplexer, three control registers (ADCON/R9, AD-CMP-CON/IOCA0, GCON/IOC90), one data register (ADDATA/RA) and an ADC with 8-bit resolution. The functional block diagram of the ADC is shown in Fig. 12. The analog reference voltage (Vref) and analog ground are connected via separate input pins.

The ADC module utilizes successive approximation to convert the unknown analog signal into a digital value. The result is fed to the ADDATA. Input channels are selected by the analog input multiplexer via the ADCON register Bits ADIS0, ADIS1, and ADIS2.
