Functional Description
The ADC’s conversion process is initiated by a sync signal from one of two input pins (SYNCx) or by
writing 1 to a START
n
bit.
Starting a single conversion actually begins a sequence of conversions, or a scan of up to 8 single-ended
or differential samples one at a time in sequential scan mode. The operation of the module in sequential
scan mode is shown in
Figure 25-18. Sequential Mode Operation of the ADC
Scan sequence is determined by defining 8 sample slots in ADLST1/2 registers, processed in order
SAMPLE0-7 during sequential scan, or in order SAMPLE0-3 by converter A and in order SAMPLE4-7
by converter B in parallel scan. SAMPLE slots may be disabled using the SDIS register.
The following pairs of analog inputs can be configured as a differential pair: AN0-1, AN2-3, AN4-5, and
AN6-7. When configured as a differential pair, a reference to either member of the differential pair by a
sample slot results in a differential measurement using that differential pair.
