ADC Noise-canceling
Techniques Digital circuitry inside and outside the ATtiny15L generates EMI, which might affect the
accuracy of analog measurements. If conversion accuracy is critical, the noise level can
be reduced by applying the following techniques:
1. The analog part of the ATtiny15L and all analog components in the application
should have a separate analog ground plane on the PCB. This ground plane is
connected to the digital ground plane via a single point on the PCB.
2. Keep analog signal paths as short as possible. Make sure analog tracks run over
the analog ground plane, and keep them well away from high-speed switching
digital tracks.
3. Use the ADC noise canceler function to reduce induced noise from the CPU.
4. If some Port B pins are used as digital outputs, it is essential that these do not
switch while a conversion is in progress.
