ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION
General Overview
The ADC conversion block incorporates a fast, 8-channel,
12-bit, single-supply ADC. This block provides the user with
multichannel mux, track-and-hold, on-chip reference, calibra-
tion features, and ADC. All components in this block are easily
configured via a 3-register SFR interface.
The ADC consists of a conventional successive-approximation
converter based around a capacitor DAC. The converter accepts
an analog input range of 0 V to V
and factory calibrated 2.5 V reference is provided on-chip. The
internal reference may be overdriven via the external V
This external reference can be in the range 2.3 V to AV
Single step or continuous conversion modes can be initiated in
software or alternatively by applying a convert signal to an external
pin. Timer 2 can also be configured to generate a repetitive trigger
for ADC conversions. The ADC may be configured to operate
in a DMA mode whereby the ADC block continuously converts
and captures samples to an external RAM space without any
interaction from the MCU core. This automatic capture facility
can extend through a 16 MByte external Data Memory space.
The ADuC812 is shipped with factory programmed calibration
coefficients that are automatically downloaded to the ADC on
power-up, ensuring optimum ADC performance. The ADC
core contains internal offset and gain calibration registers.
A software calibration routine is provided to allow the user to
overwrite the factory programmed calibration coefficients if
required, thus minimizing the impact of endpoint errors in the
user’s target system.
A voltage output from an on-chip band gap reference propor-
tional to absolute temperature can also be routed through the
front end ADC multiplexer (effectively a ninth ADC channel
input) facilitating a temperature sensor implementation.

ADC Transfer Function
The analog input range for the ADC is 0 V to V
range, the designed code transitions occur midway between
successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSBs,
5/2 LSBs . . . FS –3/2 LSBs). The output coding is straight
binary with 1 LSB = FS/4096 or 2.5 V/4096 = 0.61 mV when

Typical Operation
Once configured via the ADCCON 1–3 SFRs (shown on the
following page), the ADC will convert the analog input and
provide an ADC 12-bit result word in the ADCDATAH/L SFRs.
The top four bits of the ADCDATAH SFR will be written
with the channel selection bits to identify the channel result.
The format of the ADC 12-bit result word is shown in Figure 6.
