Quick Facts
What?
The Analog Port (APORT) is a set of analog buses
which are used to connect I/O pins to analog periph-
eral signals.
Why?
The APORT gives on-chip analog resources access
to a large number of I/O pins, and provides the sys-
tem designer with a high degree of routing flexibility.
How?
An analog peripheral requests a pad by simply con-
figuring its input/output to use a channel on APORT.
That selection becomes an APORT request where
the APORT control switches the pad and the analog
signal onto a common bus.
27.1 Introduction
APORT consists of wires, switches, and control logic needed to route signals between analog peripherals and I/O pins. On-chip clients
can be either producers or consumers. Analog producers are active devices that drive current/voltage into an APORT, such as current
or voltage DACs. Consumers are passive devices that monitor or react to the current/voltage routed to them via the APORT, such as
ADCs or analog comparators (ACMP).
27.2 Features
• Pins are typically mapped to two different APORT buses
• Arbitration and conflict status provided to each APORT client
