PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550
21.0 10-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter module has
10 inputs for the 28-pin devices and 13 for the
40/44-pin devices. This module allows conversion of an
analog input signal to a corresponding 10-bit digital
number.
The module has five registers:
• A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)
• A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL)
• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)
• A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
• A/D Control Register 2 (ADCON2)
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 21-1,
controls the operation of the A/D module. The
ADCON1 register, shown in Register 21-2, configures
the functions of the port pins. The ADCON2 register,
shown in Register 21-3, configures the A/D clock
source, programmed acquisition time and justification.

bit 1 GO/DONE: A/D Conversion Status bit
When ADON =
1:
1 = A/D conversion in progress
0 = A/D Idle
bit 0 ADON: A/D On bit
1 = A/D converter module is enabled
0 = A/D converter module is disabled
Note 1: These channels are not implemented on 28-pin devices.
2: Performing a conversion on unimplemented channels will return a floating input measurement.
