25.6.2. Analog Noise Canceling Techniques
Digital circuitry inside and outside the device generates EMI which might affect the accuracy of analog
measurements. If conversion accuracy is critical, the noise level can be reduced by applying the following
techniques:
1. Keep analog signal paths as short as possible. Make sure analog tracks run over the ground plane,
and keep them well away from high-speed switching digital tracks.
2. The AV
CC
pin on the device should be connected to the digital V
CC
supply voltage via an LC
network as shown in the figure below.
3. Use the ADC noise canceler function to reduce induced noise from the CPU.
4. If any ADC port pins are used as digital outputs, it is essential that these do not switch while a
conversion is in progress.
