16.3 Register Description
The A/D converter has the following registers.
• A/D data register A (ADDRA)
• A/D data register B (ADDRB)
• A/D data register C (ADDRC)
• A/D data register D (ADDRD)
• A/D control/status register (ADCSR)
• A/D control register (ADCR)
16.3.1 A/D Data Registers A to D (ADDRA to ADDRD)
There are four 16-bit read-only ADDR registers; ADDRA to ADDRD, used to store the results of
A/D conversion. The ADDR registers, which store a conversion result for each channel, are
shown in table 16.2.
The converted 10-bit data is stored in bits 6 to 15. The lower 6 bits are always read as 0.
The data bus between the CPU and the A/D converter is 8 bits wide. The upper byte can be read
directly from the CPU, however the lower byte should be read via a temporary register. The
temporary register contents are transferred from the ADDR when the upper byte data is read.
Therefore, byte access to ADDR should be done by reading the upper byte first then the lower
one. Word access is also possible. ADDR is initialized to H'0000.
