A.2 ATD Characteristics

This section describes the characteristics of the analog-to-digital converter.

A.2.1 ATD Operating Characteristics

The Table A-12 and Table A-13 show conditions under which the ATD operates.

The following constraints exist to obtain full-scale, full range results:

VSSA VRLVINVRHVDDA.

This constraint exists since the sample buffer amplifier can not drive beyond the power supply levels that

it ties to. If the input level goes outside of this range it will effectively be clipped.
