A-D Converter
2.24 A-D Converter
The A-D converter consists of one 10-bit successive approximation A-D converter circuit with a
capacitive coupling amplifier. Pins P100 to P107 function as the analog signal input pins. The direction
registers of these pins for A-D conversion must therefore be set to input. The Vref connect bit (bit 5 at
address 03D7
16
) can be used to isolate the resistance ladder of the A-D converter from the reference
voltage input pin (VREF) when the A-D converter is not used. Doing so stops any current flowing into
the resistance ladder from VREF, reducing the power dissipation. When using the A-D converter, start
A-D conversion only after setting bit 5 of 03D7
16
to connect VREF.
The result of A-D conversion is stored in the A-D registers of the selected pins. When set to 10-bit
precision, the low 8 bits are stored in the even addresses and the high 2 bits in the odd addresses. When
set to 8-bit precision, the low 8 bits are stored in the even addresses.
Table 1.31 shows the performance of the A-D converter. Figure 1.97 shows the block diagram of the A-
D converter, and Figure 1.98 and Figure 1.99 show the A-D converter-related registers.
