Analog To Digital Converter (ADC) Module
22.1 Overview
This microcontrollers implements up to two instances of the ADC module. The main features of the ADC
module are:
•
Selectable 10-bit or 12-bit resolution
•
Successive-approximation-register architecture
•
Three conversion groups – Group1, Group2, and Event Group
•
All three conversion groups can be configured to be hardware-triggered; group1 and group2 can also
be triggered by software
•
Conversion results are stored in a 64-word memory (SRAM)
–
These 64 words are divided between the three conversion groups and are configurable by software
–
Accesses to the conversion result RAM are protected by parity
•
Flexible options for generating DMA requests for transferring conversion results
•
Selectable channel conversion order
–
Sequential conversions in ascending order of channel number, OR
–
User-defined channel conversion order with the Enhanced Channel Selection Mode
•
The Enhanced Channel Selection Mode is only available to ADC1.
•
Single or continuous conversion modes
•
Embedded self-test logic for input channel failure detection (open / short to power / short to ground)
•
Embedded calibration logic for offset error correction
•
Enhanced Power-down mode
•
External event pin (ADEVT) to trigger conversions
–
ADEVT is also programmable as general-purpose I/O
•
Eight hardware events to trigger conversions
