(5)Comparator and Control Circuit
(1)A-D Conversion Register (AD)
A-D conversion reigister is a read-only register that stores the result
of an A-D conversion. This register should not be read during A-D
conversion.
The conversion result of the analog input voltage and the reference
voltage “Vref” is stored in the A-D conversion register. The A-D con-
version completion bit and A-D conversion interrupt request bit are
set to “1” at the completion of A-D conversion.
(2)A-D Control Register (ADCON)
The A-D control register controls A-D conversion. Bits 1 and 0 of this

register select analog input pins. When these pins are not used as
anlog input pins, they are used as ordinary I/O pins. Bit 3 is the A-D
conversion completion bit, A-D conversion is started by writing “0” to
this bit. The value of this bit remains at “0” during an A-D conversion,
then changes to “1” when the A-D conversion is completed.
Bit 4 controls connection between the resistor ladder and VCC. When
not using the A-D converter, the resistor ladder can be cut off from
the internal VCC by setting this bit to “0.” This can realize the low-
power dissipation.

(3)Comparison Voltage Generator (Resistor
Ladder)
VCC connection selection bit
0 : OFF
The voltage generator divides the voltage between VSS and VCC by
256, and outputs the divided voltages to the comparator as the refer-
ence voltage Vref.
1 : ON
Fix this bit to “0.”
(4)Channel Selector
The channel selector connects an analog input pin selected by bits 1
