CHAPTER 14 A/D CONVERTER

14.1 A/D Converter Functions

The A/D converter converts an analog input into a digital value. It consists of 8 channels (ANI0 to ANI7) with an

8-bit resolution.

The conversion method is based on successive approximation and the conversion result is held in the 8-bit A/D

conversion result register (ADCR).

The following two ways are available to start A/D conversion.

(1) Hardware start

Conversion is started by trigger input (INTP3).

(2) Software start

Conversion is started by setting the A/D converter mode register (ADM).

Select one channel of analog input from ANI0 to ANI7 and perform A/D conversion. In the case of hardware start,

A/D conversion operation stops when an A/D conversion ends, and an interrupt request (INTAD) is generated. In

the case of software start, the A/D conversion operation is repeated. Each time an A/D conversion operation ends,

an interrupt request (INTAD) is generated.
