ADC FEATURES
The converter generates a 10-bit binary result
using the method of successive approximation
and stores the conversion results into the ADC
registers (ADRESL and ADRESH)
There are 14 separate analog inputs
The A/D converter converts an analog input
signal into a 10-bit binary number
The minimum resolution or quality of
conversion may be adjusted to various needs
by selecting voltage references

ADC
The operation of A/D converter is in
control of the bits of four registers:
ADRESH Contains high byte of
conversion result
ADRESL Contains low byte of
conversion result
ADCON0 Control register 0
ADCON1 Control register 1.
PIC16F887
ADRESH AND ADRESL REGISTERS
value = read_adc();
Starts the conversion and reads the value from
ADRESH and ADRESL registers

GO/DONE - A/D Conversion Status
bit determines current status of conversion:
1 - A/D conversion is in progress.
0 - A/D conversion is complete.
This bit is automatically cleared by hardware
when the A/D conversion is complete.
ADON - A/D On bit enables A/D converter.
1 - A/D converter is enabled.
0 - A/D converter is disabled.

ADCON1 REGISTER
ADFM - A/D Result Format Select bit
1 - Conversion result is right justified. Six most
significant bits of the ADRESH are not used.
0 - Conversion result is left justified. Six least
significant bits of the ADRESL are not used.

ADCON1 REGISTER
VCFG1 - Voltage Reference bit selects negative voltage
reference source needed for the operation of A/D converter.
1 - Negative voltage reference is applied to the Vref- pin.
0 - Power supply voltage Vss is used as negative
voltage reference source.
VCFG0 - Voltage Reference bit selects positive voltage
reference source needed for the operation of A/D converter.
1 - Positive voltage reference is applied to the Vref+ pin.
0 - Power supply voltage Vdd is used as positive
voltage reference source.

setup_adc_ports(mode )
Configure pins used for ADC. mode can be:
sAN0 : use pin AN0 to be analog pin
…
sAN15 : use AN15 to be analog input
NO_ANALOGS : no use any analog pin
ALL_ANALOG : all AN0 to AN15 are analog
VSS_VDD : use vss and vdd as vref- and vref+
VSS_VREF : vref- = vss, vref+ external source
VREF_VREF : vref- and vref+ are external source
VREF_VDD : vref- from external source, vref+ = vdd
Use “|” between multi-choice

Vin Dout
LM35 ADC CPU
For simply I choose vref+ = VDD and vref- =
VSS ( VSS_VDD)
When reading ADC, we only get the Dout value
and because it is not the temperature so we
must know how to convert the result to the
temperature.
