15.11 Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 15-4. Since the analog input pins share their
connection with a digital input, they have reverse
biased ESD protection diodes to V
DD and VSS. The
analog input, therefore, must be between V
SS and VDD.
If the input voltage deviates from this range by more
than 0.6V in either direction, one of the diodes is for-
ward biased and a latch-up may occur.
A maximum source impedance of 10 k is recommended
for the analog sources. Also, any external component
connected to an analog input pin, such as a capacitor or
a Zener diode, should have very little leakage current to
minimize inaccuracies introduced.
FIGURE 15-4: ANALOG INPUT MODEL
Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins
configured as analog inputs will read as a
‘0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will
convert as an analog input, according to
the input specification.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input, may cause the input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.
