Channel Selection

The ADPCH register determines which channel is connected to the sample and hold circuit.

There are several channel selections available as shown in the following selection table:

When changing channels, a delay is required before starting the next conversion.

Refer to Section “ADC Operation” for more information.

Important: It is recommended that when switching from an ADC channel of a higher voltage to a channel of a lower voltage, the software selects the Vss channel before switching. If the ADC does not have a dedicated Vss input channel, the Vss selection (DAC1R<4:0> = b'00000') through the DAC output channel can be used. If the DAC is in use, a free input channel can be connected to Vss, and can be used in place of the DAC.
