6.17.8 Reference

The ADC can use two different references, controlled in the REFSEL field of the CH[n].CONFIG register.

These are:

• Internal reference

• VDD as reference

The internal reference results in an input range of ±0.6 V on the ADC core. VDD as reference results in an

input range of ±VDD/4 on the ADC core. The gain block can be used to change the effective input range of

the ADC.

Input range = (+- 0.6 V or +-VDD/4)/Gain

For example, choosing VDD as reference, single ended input (grounded negative input), and a gain of 1/4

the input range will be:

Input range = (VDD/4)/(1/4) = VDD

With internal reference, single ended input (grounded negative input), and a gain of 1/6 the input range

will be:

Input range = (0.6 V)/(1/6) = 3.6 V

The AIN0-AIN7 inputs cannot exceed VDD, or be lower than VSS.

6.17.9 Acquisition time

To sample the input voltage, the ADC connects a capacitor to the input.

For illustration, see Simplified ADC sample network on page 342. The acquisition time indicates how

long the capacitor is connected, see TACQ field in CH[n].CONFIG register. The required acquisition time

depends on the source (Rsource) resistance. For high source resistance the acquisition time should be

increased, see Acquisition time on page 342.
