Bits 4:3 – PGABIASSEL[1:0] PGA Bias Select

This bit field controls the bias current supplied to the PGA.
Value Name Description
0x0 100PCT 100% BIAS current. Usable for fCLK_ADC ≤ 6 MHz.
0x1 75PCT 75% BIAS current. Usable for fCLK_ADC ≤ 4.5 MHz.
0x2 50PCT 50% BIAS current. Usable for fCLK_ADC ≤ 3 MHz.
0x3 25PCT 25% BIAS current. Usable for fCLK_ADC ≤ 1.5 MHz.

Bit 0 – PGAEN PGA Enable

This bit controls whether the PGA is enabled or not when selected by the VIA bit field in the Input Multiplexer (ADCn.MUXPOS or ADCn.MUXNEG) registers.

Note: If both PGAEN and Low Latency (LOWLAT) bit in the Control A (ADCn.CTRLA) register are ‘1’, the PGA will be continuously ON, even when not selected by the VIA bit field. This eliminates the initialization time if reconfiguring the ADC to use the PGA.
ValueDescription
0 The PGA is disabled
1 The PGA is enabled
