Selecting and Configuring

Automatic Acquisition Time

The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an

acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE

bit is set.

When the GO/DONE bit is set, sampling is stopped and

a conversion begins. The user is responsible for ensur-

ing the required acquisition time has passed between

selecting the desired input channel and setting the

GO/DONE bit. This occurs when the ACQT2:ACQT0

bits (ADCON2<5:3>) remain in their Reset state (‘000’)

and is compatible with devices that do not offer

programmable acquisition times.

If desired, the ACQT bits can be set to select a

programmable acquisition time for the A/D module.

When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module contin-

ues to sample the input for the selected acquisition

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.

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 (approximately 2

μs, see parameter 130

for more information).

Table 17-1 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 4

μs.

The RC source has a typical TAD time of 6

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 devices only.
