Operation

The ADC converts an analog input voltage to a 10-bit digital value through successive approxi-

mation. The minimum value represents GND and the maximum value represents the voltage on

CC, the voltage on the AREF pin or an internal 1.1V / 2.56V voltage reference.

The voltage reference for the ADC may be selected by writing to the REFS2..0 bits in ADMUX.

The VCC supply, the AREF pin or an internal 1.1V / 2.56V voltage reference may be selected as

the ADC voltage reference. Optionally the internal 1.1V / 2.56V voltage reference may be decou-

pled by an external capacitor at the AREF pin to improve noise immunity.

The analog input channel and differential gain are selected by writing to the MUX5..0 bits in

ADMUX. Any of the 11 ADC input pins ADC10..0 can be selected as single ended inputs to the

ADC. The positive and negative inputs to the differential gain amplifier are described in Table

19-5.

If differential channels are selected, the differential gain stage amplifies the voltage difference

between the selected input pair by the selected gain factor, 1x, 8x, 20x or 32x, according to the

setting of the MUX5..0 bits in ADMUX and the GSEL bit in ADCSRB. This amplified value then

becomes the analog input to the ADC. If single ended channels are used, the gain amplifier is

bypassed altogether.
