UM0306 Analog/digital converter (ADC)
451/519
19 Analog/digital converter (ADC)
19.1 Introduction
The 12-bit ADC is a successive approximation Analog to Digital Converter. It has up to 18
multiplexed channels allowing it measure signals from 16 external and two internal sources.
A/D Conversion of the various channels can be performed in single, continuous, scan or
discontinuous mode. The result of the ADC is stored in a left-aligned or right-aligned 16-bit
data register.
The Analog Watchdog feature allows the application to detect if the input voltage goes
outside the user-defined high or low thresholds.
