The ADC Data Register –
ADCL and ADCH
ADLAR = 0
ADLAR = 1

ATmega163(L)
• Bits 2..0 – ADPS2..0: ADC Prescaler Select Bits
These bits determine the division factor between the XTAL frequency and the input
clock to the ADC.
Table 42. ADC Prescaler Selections
When an ADC conversion is complete, the result is found in these two registers.
When ADCL is read, the ADC Data Register is not updated until ADCH is read. Conse-
quently, if the result is left adjusted and no more than 8-bit precision is required, it is
sufficient to read ADCH. Otherwise, ADCL must be read first, then ADCH.
The ADLAR bit in ADMUX affects the way the result is read from the registers. If ADLAR
is set, the result is left adjusted. If ADLAR is cleared (default), the result is right adjusted.
• ADC9..0: ADC Conversion result
These bits represent the result from the conversion. $000 represents analog ground,
and $3FF represents the selected reference voltage minus one LSB.
