Caution:
Reading or writing the ADTMR register
during an A/D conversion cycle can pro-
duce unpredictable results and is not
recommended.
During conversion one or both of the following events
will occur:
1.
capture event
2.
timer overow
In a capture event, the comparator trips when the slope
voltage on the CDAC output exceeds the input voltage,
causing the comparator output to transition from high to
low. This causes a transfer of the current timer count to
the
capture
register
and
sets
the ADCIF
ag
(PIR1<1>).
Note:
The correct sequence for writing the
ADTMR register is HI byte followed by LO
byte. Reversing this order will prevent the
A/D timer from running.
A CPU interrupt will be generated if bit ADCIE
(PIE1<1>) is set to ‘1’ (interrupt enabled). In addition,
the Global Interrupt Enable and Peripheral Interrupt
Enables (INTCON<7,6>) must also be set. Software is
responsible for clearing the ADCIF ag prior to the next
conversion cycle. Note that this interrupt can only occur
once per conversion cycle.
In a timer overow condition, the timer rolls over from
FFFFh to 0000h, and a capture overow ag (OVFIF)
is asserted (PIR1<0>). The timer continues to incre-
ment following a timer overow. A CPU interrupt can be
generated if bit OVFIE (PIE1<0>) is set (interrupt
enabled). In addition, the Global Interrupt Enable and
Peripheral Interrupt Enables (INTCON<7,6>) must also
be set. Software is responsible for clearing the OVFIF
ag prior to the next conversion cycle.
