The value in the ADRESH:ADRESL registers is not
modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRESH:ADRESL
registers will contain unknown data after a Power-on
Reset.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the con-
version is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an
tion time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be
started. An acquisition time can be programmed to
occur between setting the GO/DONE bit and the actual
start of the conversion.
To perform an A/D conversion, do the following steps:
1.
Configure the A/D module:
Configure analog pins, voltage reference and
digital I/O (ADCON1)
Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
Select A/D acquisition time (ADCON2)
Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON2)
Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
2.
Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
Clear ADIF bit
Set ADIE bit
Set GIE bit
3.
Wait the required acquisition time (if required).
4.
Start conversion:
Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register)
5.
Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
OR
Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6.
Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL);
clear bit ADIF, if required.
7.
For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2, as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is
required before the next acquisition starts.
