A/D Converter Register Description
Overall operation of the A/D converter is controlled using a series of registers. A read only register
pair exists to store the A/D converter data 12-bit value. Three registers, SADC0, SADC1 and
SADC2, are the control registers which setup the operating conditions and control function of the
A/D converter. The VBGRC register contains the VBGREN bit to control the bandgap reference
voltage.

A/D Converter Register List
A/D Converter Data Registers – SADOL, SADOH
As the device contains an internal 12-bit A/D converter, it requires two data registers to store the
converted value. These are a high byte register, known as SADOH, and a low byte register, known
as SADOL. After the conversion process takes place, these registers can be directly read by the
microcontroller to obtain the digitised conversion value. As only 12 bits of the 16-bit register space
is utilised, the format in which the data is stored is controlled by the ADRFS bit in the SADC0
register as shown in the accompanying table. D0~D11 are the A/D conversion result data bits.
Any unused bits will be read as zero. Note that the A/D converter data register contents will keep
unchanged if the A/D converter is disabled.

A/D Converter Data Registers
A/D Converter Control Registers – SADC0, SADC1, SADC2
To control the function and operation of the A/D converter, several control registers known as
SADC0, SADC1, SADC2 are provided. These 8-bit registers define functions such as the selection
of which analog channel is connected to the internal A/D converter, the digitised data format, the A/
D converter clock source as well as controlling the start function and monitoring the A/D converter
busy status. As the device contains only one actual analog to digital converter hardware circuit, each
of the external and internal analog signals must be routed to the converter. The SAINS bit field in the
SADC1 register and SACS bit field in the SADC0 register are used to which analog signal derived
from the external or internal signals will be connected to the A/D converter. The A/D converter
also contains programmable gain amplifier, PGA, to generate the A/D converter internal reference
voltage. The overall operation of the PGA is controlled using the SADC2 register.
