The ATmega16 features a 10-bit successive approximation ADC. The ADC is connected to an

8-channel Analog Multiplexer which allows 8 single-ended voltage inputs constructed from the

pins of Port A. The single-ended voltage inputs refer to 0V (GND).

The device also supports 16 differential voltage input combinations. Two of the differential inputs

(ADC1, ADC0 and ADC3, ADC2) are equipped with a programmable gain stage, providing

amplification steps of 0 dB (1x), 20 dB (10x), or 46 dB (200x) on the differential input voltage

before the A/D conversion. Seven differential analog input channels share a common negative

terminal (ADC1), while any other ADC input can be selected as the positive input terminal. If 1x

or 10x gain is used, 8-bit resolution can be expected. If 200x gain is used, 7-bit resolution can be

expected.

The ADC contains a Sample and Hold circuit which ensures that the input voltage to the ADC is

held at a constant level during conversion. A block diagram of the ADC is shown in Figure 98.

The ADC has a separate analog supply voltage pin, AVCC. AVCC must not differ more than

±0.3 V from V

CC. See the paragraph “ADC Noise Canceler” on page 211 on how to connect this

pin.

Internal reference voltages of nominally 2.56V or AVCC are provided On-chip. The voltage refer-

ence may be externally decoupled at the AREF pin by a capacitor for better noise performance.
