DS31021A page 21-1 PICmicro MID-RANGE MCU FAMILY Introduction The analog-to-digital A D converter module has up to eight analog inputs. The A D allows conversion of an analog input signal to a corresponding 8-bit digital number. The output of the sample and hold is the input into the converter which generates the result via successive approximation. The analog reference voltage is software selectable to either the device s positive supply voltage Vdd or the voltage level on the Vref pin. The A D converter has a unique feature of being able to operate while the device is in SLEEP mode. The A D module has three registers. These registers are A D Result Register ADRES A D Control Register0 ADCON0 A D Control Register1 ADCON1 The ADCON0 register shown in Figure 21-1 controls the operation of the A D module. The ADCON1 register shown in Figure 21-2 configures the functions of the port pins. The I O pins can be configured as analog inputs one I O can also be a voltage reference or as digital I O. The block diagram of the A D module is shown in Figure 21-1. Figure 21-1 8-bit A D Block Diagram CHS2 CHS0 AN7 AN6 AN5 AN4 AN3 VREF AN2 AN1 AN0 PCFG2 PCFG0 Note On some .
