For the R
ADIN
and C
ADIN
values in the equivalent circuit, refer to “12-bit A/D Converter Characteristics” in the
“Electrical Characteristics” chapter. Based on these values, configure the ADC12A operating clock CLK_T16_
k
and the ADC12_
n
TRG.SMPCLK[2:0] bits that set the sampling time so that these settings will satisfy the equations
shown below.

17.4 Operations
17.4.1 Initialization
The ADC12A should be initialized with the procedure shown below.
1. Assign the ADC12A input function to the ports. (Refer to the “I/O Ports” chapter.)
2. Configure the 16-bit timer Ch.
k
operating clock so that it will satisfy the sampling time.
3. Set the ADC12_
n
CTL.MODEN bit to 1.
(Enable ADC12A operations)
4. Configure the following ADC12_
n
TRG register bits:
- ADC12_
n
TRG.SMPCLK[2:0] bits
(Set sampling time)
- ADC12_

TRG.CNVTRG[1:0] bits

TRG.CNVMD bit
(Set conversion mode)
- ADC12_

TRG.STMD bit
(Set data storing mode)
- ADC12_

TRG.STAAIN[2:0] bits
(Set analog input pin to be A/D converted first)
- ADC12_
n
TRG.ENDAIN[2:0] bits
(Set analog input pin to be A/D converted last)
5. Set the ADC12_
n
CFG.VRANGE[1:0] bits.
(Set operating voltage range according to V
DD
)
6. Set the following bits when using the interrupt:
- Write 1 to the interrupt flags in the ADC12_
n
INTF register.
(Clear interrupt flags)
- Set the interrupt enable bits in the ADC12_
n
INTE register to 1. (Enable interrupts)
17.4.2 Conversion Start Trigger Source
The trigger source, which starts A/D conversion, can be selected from the three types shown below using the
ADC12_
n
TRG.CNVTRG[1:0] bits.
External trigger (#ADTRGn pin)
Writing 1 to the ADC12_
n
CTL.ADST bit enables the ADC12A to accept trigger inputs. After that, the falling
edge of the signal input to the #ADTRG
n
pin starts A/D conversion.
16-bit timer Ch.k underflow trigger
Writing 1 to the ADC12_
n
CTL.ADST bit enables the ADC12A to accept trigger inputs. After that, A/D conver-
sion is started when an underflow occurs in the 16-bit timer Ch.
k
.
Software trigger
Writing 1 to the ADC12_
n
CTL.ADST bit starts A/D conversion.
Trigger inputs can be accepted while the ADC12_
n
CTL.BSYSTAT bit is set to 0 and are ignored while set to 1.
A/D conversion is actually started in sync with CLK_T16_
k
after a trigger is accepted.
Writing 0 to the ADC12_
n
CTL.ADST bit stops A/D conversion after the one currently being executed has com-
pleted.
