(7) Other notes on use
(a) AN0 to AN7 input range
Specified voltages must be applied to AN0 to AN7 inputs. If a voltage higher than V
DD
or lower than
V
SS
is applied even when the maximum absolute rating is not exceeded, the conversion result for an
associated channel becomes unpredictable. In addition, the conversion results for other channels
may be affected.
(b) Noise protection
To maintain 8-bit resolution, the user should pay attention to noise that may be applied to the AV
REF
,
and AN0 to AN7 pins. Noise adversely affects operation to a greater extent when the analog input
source has a higher output impedance. As shown in Fig. 4-66, a capacitor should be externally
connected.
Fig. 4-66 Analog Input Pin Connection
(c) AN4/P90 to AN7/P93 pins
The analog input pins (AN4 to AN7) are also used for an input port (port 9).
When any of AN4 to AN7 is selected for A/D conversion, no input instruction must be executed for
port 9 during A/D conversion. Otherwise, the accuracy of conversion may deteriorate.
If a digital pulse signal is applied to a pin adjacent to a pin being used for A/D conversion, an expected
A/D conversion value may not be obtained because of coupling noise.
So no digital pulse signal should be applied to the adjacent pin being used for A/D conversion.
(d) AV
DD
pins
When the A/D converter is not used or is in the standby mode, the potential of the AV
DD
pin must be
equal to that of the V
DD
pin.

If it is anticipated that noise voltages do not fall in the
range of V
DD
to V
SS
, clamp this point using a diode with
a low V

(not higher than 0.3 V).
