    The document discusses analog to digital converters (ADCs). It explains that an ADC is needed to convert analog signals to digital signals so that microcontrollers can understand the data. It describes the basic components and registers of an ADC like ADMUX for channel selection and reference voltage, and ACSRA for control and status. Finally, it provides a code example to read the analog value from channel 1 and display the 8-bit output on PORTB.

    ADC

    Analog to Digital Converter


    As the name implies that Analog to Digital, means to convert analog
    signal into digital signal.
    We all knows Analog signal is continues in nature and Digital signal is
    discrete in nature
    Needs of ADC
    As we know that our microcontroller understand only digital language
    (i.e. 1 & 0)
    And to interface any analog device to the microcontroller we have to
    convert the analog signal into digital.
    How it work

    This is 8 bit register and used in :

    Selection of channel

    one enables the ADC. By writing it to zero, the ADC
    is turned off. Turning the ADC off while a conversion is in progress, will terminate
    this conversion.
    ADC Start Conversion To start each conversion we have to write one to this bit,
    ADSC will be high as long as a conversion is in progress. When the conversion
    is7complete, it6returns to5zero. Writing4 zero to this3bit has no effect.

    to control the ADC and also show its status.
    ADC Interrupt Flag This bit is set when an ADC conversion completes. ADIF is
    cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling
    vector. Alternatively, ADIF is cleared by writing a logical one to the flag.
    ADC Interrupt Enable When this bit is written to one, the ADC Conversion
    Complete Interrupt is activated.

    ADC Prescaler Select Bits These bits determine the division factor between the
    XTAL frequency and the input clock to the ADC.

    AREF
    ADCSRA=(1<<ADEN)|(1<<ADPS2)|(1<<ADPS1)|
    (1<<ADPS0);
    // Enable ADC and set Prescaler division factor as 128
    }
    unsigned int ADC_read(unsigned char ch)
    {
    ch= ch & 0b00000111; // channel must be b/w 0 to 7
    ADMUX |= ch; // selecting channel

    ADCSRA|=(1<<ADSC); // start conversion


    while(!(ADCSRA & (1<<ADIF))); // waiting for ADIF, conversion complete
    ADCSRA|=(1<<ADIF); // clearing of ADIF, it is done by writing 1 to it

    return (ADC);
    }
    int main(void)
