The result is required in the range 0-4095 so the original result 0-1023 is shifted left twice to multiply it by four. One thousand 03E8 is then loop subtracted from the result to calculate the number of thousands in the number. Correct borrow handling between the high and low byte is particularly important. The process stops when the remainder is less that 1000. The hundreds digit is calculated in a similar way but the tens calculation is a little easier as the maximum remainder from the previous stage is 99 so the high byte borrow handling is not necessary. This process is outlined in Figure and the source code shown in Program . 146 Analogue Interfacing IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Proj ect Interfacing PICs Source File Name Devised by MPB Date 19 -12-05 Status Fi nal version IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII i I Demonstrates simple analogue input I using an external reference voltage of I The 8-bit result is converted to BCD for display I as a voltage using the standard LCD routines.
