ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The ADuC845 incorporates two 10-channel (8-channel on th
MQFP package) 24-bit Σ- ADCs, while the ADuC847 and
ADuC848 each incorporate a single 10-channel (8-channel on
the MQFP package) 24-bit and 16-bit Σ- ADC.
Each part also includes an on-chip programmable gain
amplifier and configurable buffering (neither is ava

The ADuC845/ADuC847/ADuC848 can be configured as four
or five (MQFP/LFCSP package) fully-differential input channel
or as eight or ten (MQFP/LFCSP package) pseudo differential
input channels referenced to AINCOM. The ADC on each part
(primary only on the ADuC845) can be fully buffered interna

on the selected analog input and that RC filtering (for noise
rejection or RFI reduction) can be placed on the analog inputs
If the ADC is used with internal buffering disabled
(ADC0CON1.7 = 1, ADC0CON1.6 = 0), these unbuffered
inputs provide a dynamic load to the driving source. Therefo

The input channels are intended to convert signals directly from
sensors without the need for external signal conditioning. With
internal buffering disabled (relevant bits set/cleared in
ADC0CON1), external buffering might be required.
