XMEGA E5 [DATASHEET]
Atmel-8153J–AVR-ATxmega8E5-ATxmega16E5-ATxmega32E5_Datasheet–11/2014
Issue: ADC: Averaging is failing when channel scan is enabled
For a correct operation, the averaging must complete on the on-going channel before incrementing the input off-
set. In the current implementation, the input offset is incremented after the ADC sampling is done.
Workaround:
None.
Issue: ADC: Averaging in single conversion requires multiple conversion triggers
For a normal operation, an unique start of conversion trigger starts a complete average operation. Then, for N-
samples average operation, we should have:
One start of conversion
N conversions + average
Optional interrupt when the Nth conversion/last average is completed
On silicon we need:
N start of conversion
The two additional steps are well done.
Workaround:
Set averaging configuration
N starts of conversion by polling the reset of START bit
Wait for interrupt flag (end of averaging)
Issue: ADC accumulator sign extends the result in unsigned mode averaging
In unsigned mode averaging, when the msb is going high(1), measurements are considered as negative when
right shift is used. This sets the unused most significant bits once the shift is done.
Workaround:
Mask to zero the unused most significant bits once shift is done.
Issue: ADC: Free running average mode issue
In free running mode the ADC stops the ongoing averaging as soon as free running bit is disabled. This creates
the need to flush the ADC before starting the next conversion since one or two conversions might have taken
place in the internal accumulator.
Workaround:
Disable and re-enable the ADC before the start of next conversion in free running average mode.
Issue: ADC: Event triggered conversion in averaging mode
If the ADC is configured as event triggered in averaging mode, then a single event does not complete the entire
averaging as it should be.
Workaround:
In the current revision, N events are needed for completing averaging on N samples.
