28.2.1 Analog Power (V
DDA
)
The ADC analog portion uses V
DDA
 as its power connection. In some packages, V
DDA
 is
connected internally to V
DD
. If externally available, connect the V
DDA
 pin to the same
voltage potential as V
DD
. External filtering may be necessary to ensure clean V
DDA
 for
good results.
28.2.2 Analog Ground (V
SSA
)
The ADC analog portion uses V
SSA
 as its ground connection. In some packages, V
SSA
 is
connected internally to V
SS
. If externally available, connect the V
SSA
 pin to the same
voltage potential as V
SS
.
28.2.3 Voltage Reference Select
V
REFSH
 and V
REFSL
 are the high and low reference voltages for the ADC module.
The ADC can be configured to accept one of two voltage reference pairs for V
REFSH
 and
V
REFSL
. Each pair contains a positive reference that must be between the minimum Ref
Voltage High and V
DDA
, and a ground reference that must be at the same potential as
V
SSA
. The two pairs are external (V
REFH
 and V
REFL
) and alternate (V
ALTH
 and V
ALTL
).
These voltage references are selected using SC2[REFSEL]. The alternate V
ALTH
 and
V
ALTL
 voltage reference pair may select additional external pins or internal sources
depending on MCU configuration. See the chip configuration information on the Voltage
References specific to this MCU.
