PIC16F87/88
The ADRESH:ADRESL registers contain the result of
the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is com-
plete, the result is loaded into the A/D result register
pair, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<2>) is cleared, and
A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF, is set. The block diagram
of the A/D module is shown in Figure 12-1.
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
• Clear ADIF bit
• Set ADIE bit
• SET PEIE bit
• Set GIE bit
3. Wait the required acquisition time.
4. Start conversion:
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the con-
version is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as inputs.
• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0)
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
(with interrupts disabled); OR
To determine sample time, see Section 12.1. After this
sample time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be
started.
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6. Read A/D Result register pair
These steps should be followed for doing an A/D
conversion:
(ADRESH:ADRESL), clear bit ADIF if required.
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2 as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is
required before the next acquisition starts.
1. Configure the A/D module:
• Configure analog/digital I/O (ANSEL)
• Configure voltage reference (ADCON1)
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON0)
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
