20.2
The A/D module has a 4-level result buffer with an
address range of 0 to 3, enabled by setting the FIFOEN
bit in the ADCON1 register. This buffer is implemented
in a circular fashion where the A/D result is stored in
one location and the address is incremented. If the
address is greater than 3, the pointer is wrapped back
around to 0. The result buffer has a buffer empty flag,
BEMT, indicating when any data is in the buffer. It also
has an overflow flag, BOVFL, which indicates when a
new sample has overwritten a location that was not
previously read.
Associated with the buffer is a pointer to the address for
the next read operation. The ADPNT<1:0> bits
configure the address for the next read operation.
These bits are read-only.
The Result Buffer also has a configurable interrupt
trigger level that is configured by the ADRS<1:0> bits.
The user has three selections: interrupt flag set on
every write to the buffer, interrupt on every second write
to the buffer, or interrupt on every fourth write to the
buffer. ADPNT<1:0> is reset to ‘00’ every time a
conversion sequence is started (either by setting the
GO/DONE bit, or on a trigger).

Equation 20-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.
