Figuring out the Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) 12F1822 (and others)
Hey group,
Well I spent most of the weekend trying to figure out how to take advantage of the FVR to improve my A/D conversions.
Just when I though I'd never get it... and Darrel's (and others) hints and tips were falling into a black hole (where my brain should be), it all started to make sense.
I can now use the FVR as a reference to either reading Vdd or an outside AD input. (what fun!)
Any way one thing that is still confusing me is a note on the 12F1822 datasheet.
The FVRCON register contains a FVRRDY bit 6 that tells you when the FVR is stable.
Note 1: FVRRDY is always ‘1’ on PIC12F1822/16F1823 only
Datasheet pp. 138
So what are the ramifications of that??
Does that mean that one should include a fixed delay to give the FVR time to settle down? Or that the FVR is always ready on these chips and there is no need to wait for it?
thanks

These PIC's are like intricate puzzles just waiting for one to discover their secrets and MASTER their capabilities.
