16.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ADC module consists of a 12-bit ADC converter and as-
sociated state machine, together with analog multiplexers to
set up signal paths for sampling and voltage references, log-
ic to control triggering of the converter, and a bus interface.
16.1.1 Data Path
Up to 8 GPIO pins may be configured as 8 singled-ended
analog inputs or 4 differential pairs. Analog/digital data
passes through four main blocks in the ADC module be-
tween the input pins and the CPU bus:
Input Multiplexer—an analog multiplexer that selects
among the input channels.
Internal/External Multiplexer—an analog multiplexer
that selects between the output of the Input Multiplexer
and the ADCIN external analog input.
12-Bit ADC—receives the output of the Internal/External
Multiplexer and performs the analog to digital conver-
sion.
ADCRESLT Register—makes conversion results from
the 12-Bit ADC available to the on-chip bus. The AD-
CRESLT register includes the software-visible end of a 4-
word FIFO used to queue conversion results.
The configuration of the analog signal paths is controlled by
fields in the ADCGCR register. The Input Multiplexer is con-
trolled by the MUX_CFG field. The Internal/External Multi-
plexer is controlled by the ADCIN bit. The analog
multiplexers for selecting the voltage references used by the
ADC are controlled by the PREF_CFG and NREF_CFG
fields. The low-ohmic drivers used for interface to resistive
touchscreens are controlled by the TOUCH_CFG field.
