Selecting and Configuring

Acquisition Time

The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an

acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE

bit is set. It also gives users the option to use an

automatically determined acquisition time.

Acquisition time may be set with the ACQT2:ACQT0

bits (ADCON2<5:3>), which provides a range of 2 to

20 TAD. When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module

continues to sample the input for the selected acquisi-

tion time, then automatically begins a conversion.

Since the acquisition time is programmed, there may

be no need to wait for an acquisition time between

selecting a channel and setting the GO/DONE bit.

when

ACQT2:ACQT0 = 000. When the GO/DONE bit is set,

sampling is stopped and a conversion begins. The user

is responsible for ensuring the required acquisition time

has passed between selecting the desired input

channel and setting the GO/DONE bit. This option is

also the default Reset state of the ACQT2:ACQT0 bits

and is compatible with devices that do not offer

programmable acquisition times.

In either case, when the conversion is completed, the

GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the

A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel

again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is

nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or

if the conversion has begun.

Selecting the A/D Conversion

Clock

The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The

A/D conversion requires 11 TAD per 10-bit conversion.

The source of the A/D conversion clock is software

selectable. There are seven possible options for TAD:

•2 TOSC

•4 TOSC

•8 TOSC

•16 TOSC

•32 TOSC

•64 TOSC

• Internal RC Oscillator

For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock

(TAD) must be as short as possible, but greater than the

minimum

TAD

(see

parameter

130

for

information).

Table 19-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from

the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock

source selected.

Note 1:

The RC source has a typical TAD time of 1.2

µs.

The RC source has a typical TAD time of 2.5

µs.

For device frequencies above 1 MHz, the device must be in Sleep for the entire conversion or the A/D

accuracy may be out of specification.

Low-power (PIC18LFXXXX) devices only.
