26.2 Operation
The ADC converts an analog input voltage to a 10-bit digital value through successive approxi-
mation. The minimum value represents GND and the maximum value represents the voltage on
the AREF pin minus 1 LSB. Optionally, AVCC or an internal 1.1V or 2.56V reference voltage
may be connected to the AREF pin by writing to the REFSn bits in the ADMUX Register. The
internal voltage reference may thus be decoupled by an external capacitor at the AREF pin to
improve noise immunity.
The analog input channel is selected by writing to the MUX bits in ADMUX and ADCSRB. Any of
the ADC input pins, as well as GND and a fixed bandgap voltage reference, can be selected as
single ended inputs to the ADC. A selection of ADC input pins can be selected as positive and
negative inputs to the differential amplifier.
