The value that is in the ADRESH/ADRESL registers is
not modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRESH/
ADRESL registers will contain unknown data after a
Power-on Reset.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the con-
version is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an
input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 17.1.
After this acquisition time has elapsed, the A/D conver-
sion can be started. The following steps should be
followed for doing an A/D conversion:

Configure the A/D module:
• Configure analog pins, voltage reference and
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON0)
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
• Clear ADIF bit
• Set ADIE bit
• Set GIE bit
• Set PEIE bit
Wait the required acquisition time.
Start conversion:
• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0)

For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (C

maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 k . After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), this acquisition must be done
before the conversion can be started.

Note:
Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
OR
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt
Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH/ADRESL);
clear bit ADIF if required.
For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2 as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as T
