PIC16F887 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

Introduction

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) module of a microcontroller converter analog input voltage to digital va
microcontroller process with. There are many different types of ADC module inside microcontroller.

ADC module has some parameters:

1. Resolution : Define the amount of digital number of analog to digital conversion. It could be 8-bit, 10
resolution gives the conversion result more accurate.
2. Voltage reference: It also effect Resolution. Lower voltage reference of ADC makes an accurate con
be 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V.
3. Clock : It could be driven from microcontroller clock source, or its own internal clock.
4. Number of Analog Input Channel : It refers to the amount of input pins of ADC. It usually multiplexe
pins.

Block diagram of PIC16F887 ADC Module

PIC16F887 has up to 14 analog input channels. They are multiplex within Port A and Port B.

Programming for ADC

ADC module inside PIC16F887 has some registers for programmer to work with. Programmer need to co

1. ADC clock
2. Analog channel inputs
3. Result arrangement
4. Channel selection
5. Start of conversion
6. Testing the result and reading the result
7. Interrupt control (optional)

These registers are,

Registers relate to ADC of PIC16F887

Now let start a simple example of using ADC module. This program read analog input on RA0/AN0. Conv
on Port C and Port D.
