10.4.3 A/D converter operation mode
The operation mode of the A/D converter is the select mode. One analog input channel is selected from ANI0 to
ANI3 by the analog input channel specification register (ADS) and A/D conversion is executed.
In addition, the following two functions can be selected by setting bit 7 (PFEN) of the power-fail comparison mode
register (PFM).
•
Normal 10-bit A/D converter (PFEN = 0)
•
Power-fail detection function (PFEN = 1)
(1) A/D conversion operation (when PFEN = 0)
By setting bit 7 (ADCS) of the A/D converter mode register (ADM) to 1 and bit 7 (PFEN) of the power-fail
comparison mode register (PFM) to 0, A/D conversion of the voltage applied to the analog input pin specified by
the analog input channel specification register (ADS) is started.
When A/D conversion has been completed, the result of the A/D conversion is stored in the A/D conversion result
register (ADCR), and an interrupt request signal (INTAD) is generated. Once the next A/D conversion has started
and when one A/D conversion has been completed, the A/D conversion operation after that is immediately
started. The A/D conversion operations are repeated until new data is written to ADS.
If ADM, ADS, the power-fail comparison mode register (PFM), and the power-fail comparison threshold register
(PFT) are rewritten during A/D conversion, the A/D conversion operation under execution is stopped and
restarted from the beginning.
If 0 is written to ADCS during A/D conversion, A/D conversion is immediately stopped. At this time, the
conversion result is undefined.
