15.5.2 Single Conversion

In Single Conversion Example, a software trigger is used to start a single conversion.

Single Conversion Example

#include <xc.h>
// The channel output.
long result = 0;
int main()
{
    // In this example channel 1 will be used.
    // Select single conversion mode.
    AD1CH1CONbits.MODE = 0;
    // Software trigger will start a conversion.
    AD1CH1CONbits.TRG1SRC = 1; 
    // Use a differential input.
    AD1CH1CONbits.DIFF = 1;
    // Select the AN9 analog positive input/pin for the signal.
    AD1CH1CONbits.PINSEL = 9;
    // Select the ANN1 analog negative input/pin for the signal.
    AD1CH1CONbits.NINSEL = 1;
    // Select signal sampling time (6.5 TADs = 81nS).
    AD1CH1CONbits.SAMC = 3;
    // Set ADC to RUN mode.
    AD1CONbits.MODE = 2;
    // Enable ADC.
    AD1CONbits.ON = 1;
    // Wait when ADC will be ready/calibrated.
    while(AD1CONbits.ADRDY == 0);
    // Trigger channel #1 in software and wait for the result.
    while(1){
        // Trigger channel # 1.
        AD1SWTRGbits.CH1TRG = 1;
        // Wait for a conversion ready flag.
        while(AD1STATbits.CH1RDY == 0);
        // Read result. It will clear the conversion ready flag.
        result = AD1CH1DATA;
    }
    return 1;
}
