The ADC converts analog signals to digital values. The ADC has 12-bit resolution and is capable
of converting up to 300 thousand samples per second (KSPS). The input selection is flexible,
and both single-ended and differential measurements can be done. For differential measure-
ments, an optional gain stage is available to increase the dynamic range. In addition, several
internal signal inputs are available. The ADC can provide both signed and unsigned results.
The ADC measurements can either be started by application software or an incoming event from
another peripheral in the device. The ADC measurements can be started with predictable timing,
and without software intervention. It is possible to use DMA to move ADC results directly to
memory or peripherals when conversions are done.
Both internal and external reference voltages can be used. An integrated temperature sensor is
available for use with the ADC. The output from the V
measured by the ADC.
The ADC has a compare function for accurate monitoring of user defined thresholds with mini-
mum software intervention required.
