ADC Operation
Starting a Conversion
ATtiny43U
The ADC contains a Sample and Hold circuit which ensures that the input voltage to the ADC is
held at a constant level during conversion.
The analog multiplexer allows eight single-ended channels to be connected to the ADC, includ-
ing the low four bits of port A, the internal temperature sensor, the internal voltage reference,
supply voltage (V
Internal reference voltage of nominally 1.1V is provided on-chip. Alternatively, V
as reference voltage.
The ADC converts an analog input voltage to a 10-bit digital value through successive approxi-
mation. The minimum value represents GND and the maximum value represents the reference
voltage.The voltage reference for the ADC may be selected by writing to the REFS bit in
ADMUX. The VCC supply or an internal 1.1V voltage reference may be selected as the ADC
voltage reference.
The analog input channel is selected by writing to the MUX2..0 bits in ADMUX. Any of the four
ADC input pins ADC3..0, and V
The on-chip temperature sensor is selected by writing “111” to the MUX2..0 bits in the ADMUX
register.
The ADC is enabled by setting the ADC Enable bit, ADEN in ADCSRA. Voltage reference and
input channel selections will not go into effect until ADEN is set. The ADC does not consume
power when ADEN is cleared, so it is recommended to switch off the ADC before entering power
saving sleep modes.
The ADC generates a 10-bit result which is presented in the ADC Data Registers, ADCH and
ADCL. By default, the result is presented right adjusted, but can optionally be presented left
adjusted by setting the ADLAR bit in ADCSRB.
If the result is left adjusted and no more than 8-bit precision is required, it is sufficient to read
ADCH. Otherwise, ADCL must be read first, then ADCH, to ensure that the content of the data
registers belongs to the same conversion. Once ADCL is read, ADC access to data registers is
blocked. This means that if ADCL has been read, and a conversion completes before ADCH is
read, neither register is updated and the result from the conversion is lost. When ADCH is read,
ADC access to the ADCH and ADCL Registers is re-enabled.
The ADC has its own interrupt which can be triggered when a conversion completes. When ADC
access to the data registers is prohibited between reading of ADCH and ADCL, the interrupt will
trigger even if the result is lost.
Make sure the ADC is powered by clearing the ADC Power Reduction bit, PRADC, in the Power
Reduction Register, PRR (see
A single conversion is started by writing a logical one to the ADC Start Conversion bit, ADSC.
This bit stays high as long as the conversion is in progress and will be cleared by hardware
when the conversion is completed. If a different data channel is selected while a conversion is in
progress, the ADC will finish the current conversion before performing the channel change.
Alternatively, a conversion can be triggered automatically by various sources. Auto Triggering is
enabled by setting the ADC Auto Trigger Enable bit, ADATE in ADCSRA. The trigger source is
selected by setting the ADC Trigger Select bits, ADTS in ADCSRB (see description of the ADTS
BAT
) and ground (GND).
