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

This bit field controls the bias current supplied to the PGA.
ValueNameDescription
0x0100PCT100% BIAS current. Usable for fCLK_ADC ≤ 6 MHz.
0x175PCT75% BIAS current. Usable for fCLK_ADC ≤ 4.5 MHz.
0x250PCT50% BIAS current. Usable for fCLK_ADC ≤ 3 MHz.
0x325PCT25% 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
0The PGA is disabled
1The PGA is enabled
