5.1. Analog Multiplexer
AMUX0 selects the positive and negative inputs to the ADC. The positive input (AIN+) can be connected to
individual Port pins, the on-chip temperature sensor, or the positive power supply (V
DD
). The negative
input (AIN-) can be connected to individual Port pins, VREF, or GND. When GND is selected as the neg-
ative input, ADC0 operates in Single-ended Mode; at all other times, ADC0 operates in Differential
Mode. The ADC0 input channels are selected in the AMX0P and AMX0N registers as described in SFR
Definition 5.1 and SFR Definition 5.2.
The conversion code format differs between Single-ended and Differential modes. The registers ADC0H
and ADC0L contain the high and low bytes of the output conversion code from the ADC at the completion
of each conversion. Data can be right-justified or left-justified, depending on the setting of the AD0LJST bit
(ADC0CN.0). When in Single-ended Mode, conversion codes are represented as 10-bit unsigned integers.
Inputs are measured from ‘0’ to VREF x 1023/1024. Example codes are shown below for both right-justi-
fied and left-justified data. Unused bits in the ADC0H and ADC0L registers are set to ‘0’.
When in Differential Mode, conversion codes are represented as 10-bit signed 2’s complement numbers.
Inputs are measured from –VREF to VREF x 511/512. Example codes are shown below for both right-jus-
tified and left-justified data. For right-justified data, the unused MSBs of ADC0H are a sign-extension of the
data word. For left-justified data, the unused LSBs in the ADC0L register are set to ‘0’.
Important Note About ADC0 Input Configuration: Port pins selected as ADC0 inputs should be config-
ured as analog inputs, and should be skipped by the Digital Crossbar. To configure a Port pin for analog
input, set to ‘0’ the corresponding bit in register PnMDIN (for n = 0,1,2,3). To force the Crossbar to skip a
Port pin, set to ‘1’ the corresponding bit in register PnSKIP (for n = 0,1,2). See
Section “15. Port Input/
Output” on page 142 for more Port I/O configuration details.
