ADC setup on 12F1822 ??

[swr999]

Hello!

Has anyone been successful on getting data from the ADC on a 12F1822? While I can get 8-bit conversions, I cannot get 10-bit results. I have puzzled through the related registers from reading the data sheet. Briefly, I find that setting ADCON1.7 stops the ADC from working. Clearing ADCON1.7 lets it work in 8-bit mode.

Reading the errata sheet they show problems with the ADC, and a possible workaround, but I'm not convinced that is my problem since the problem also occurs on a 12F1840.

I can post example code, but initially I just wanted to know if someone on the forum is able to get 10-bit data from a 12F1822, or a 12F1840.

Thanks!

Thanks ^^^
I am doing the same register setups as you show, except that I'm using AN2 (ANSELA=%0100, TRISA=%01100). In addition I have ADCON0.0=1 (enable ADC). I'll try removing this. I'll work on this and post my results.
Thanks again!

ADCON0.0=1 serves no purpose the ADCIN code will do that for you

This may be obvious but since you didn't post your code I'll say it anyway.
The variable you're putting the result in is declared as a WORD, right?

/Henrik.

looks like "Occam's Razor" may have struck again

Yes, it's a WORD. But thanks!

Not sure if you figured this out, but 10bit AD need to be read out as RIGHT justified, and 8 bit reads should be LEFT justified. Here's a config that works for 8-bit:
ADCON0.0 = 1 ' AD ON
ANSELA = %00000001 ' select analog vs digital (1=analog)
ADCON1.7 = 1 ' bit7 = 1 = LEFT justified
define adc_bits 8 ' set ADC as 8 bit

Thank you^^^. Yes, I got it sorted out. I think my initial confusion resulted from some interaction between PBP3 DEFINEs for the ADC module and some direct settings I was also doing on some ADC-related registers. Everythings good now. Thanks again!
