Figure-12 The circuit of the Input pad of Channel 7

(1) While read ADC command is sent and channel 7 is selected, ADC can be used to monitor the

battery voltage.

(3) The battery voltage is six times ADC measuring voltage. Thus, the measured result equals to

1/6*battery voltage.

(4) While channel 7 is set to the analog input mode, an input resistor (60k

Ω) exists from CH[7] to

VSS. To save unnecessary power consumption, CH[7] should be switch to digital input type

when CH[7] is not measured.

Note:

CH[7] is different from the other 7 channels. The input voltage is reduced to 1/6 before it is sent into

ADC.
