A/D Conversions

Figure 19-3 shows the operation of the A/D converter

after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT2:ACQT0

bits are cleared. A conversion is started after the follow-

ing instruction to allow entry into Sleep mode before the

conversion begins.

Figure 19-4 shows the operation of the A/D converter

after the GO bit has been set, the ACQT2:ACQT0 bits

are set to ‘010’ and selecting a 4 TAD acquisition time

before the conversion starts.

Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will

abort the current conversion. The A/D Result register

pair will not be updated with the partially completed A/D

conversion sample. This means the ADRESH:ADRESL

registers will continue to contain the value of the last

completed conversion (or the last value written to the

ADRESH:ADRESL registers).

After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a

2TAD wait is required before the next acquisition can

be started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected

channel is automatically started.

19.7

Use of the CCP2 Trigger

An A/D conversion can be started by the “special event

trigger” of the CCP2 module. This requires that the

CCP2M3:CCP2M0 bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be pro-

grammed as ‘1011’ and that the A/D module is enabled

(ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the

GO/DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D conversion

and the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will be reset to zero.

Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automatically repeat the

A/D acquisition period with minimal software overhead

(moving ADRESH/ADRESL to the desired location).

The appropriate analog input channel must be selected

and the minimum acquisition done before the “special

event trigger” sets the GO/DONE bit (starts a

conversion).

If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the

“special event trigger” will be ignored by the A/D

module but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3)

counter.

Note:

The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in

the same instruction that turns on the A/D.
