PIC18F2682/2685/4682/4685
The value in the ADRESH/ADRESL registers is not
modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRESH/ADRESL
registers will contain unknown data after a Power-on
Reset.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the con-
version is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as inputs.
To determine acquisition time, see Section 19.1 “A/D
Acquisition Requirements”. After this acquisition
time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be started.
An acquisition time can be programmed to occur
between setting the GO/DONE
bit and the actual start
of the conversion.
The following steps should be followed to perform an
A/D conversion:
1. Configure the A/D module:
• Configure analog pins, voltage reference and
digital I/O (ADCON1)
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
• Select A/D acquisition time (ADCON2)
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON2)
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
• Clear ADIF bit
• Set ADIE bit
• Set GIE bit
3. Wait the required acquisition time (if required).
4. Start conversion:
• Set GO/DONE
bit (ADCON0 register)
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
• Polling for the GO/DONE
bit to be cleared
OR
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6. Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL);
clear bit, ADIF, if required.
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2, as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as T
AD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is
required before next acquisition starts.
