The ADC Data Register –
ADCL and ADCH ADLAR = 0:
ADLAR = 1:
When an ADC conversion is complete, the result is found in these two registers. If differ-
ential channels are used, the result is presented in two’s complement form.
When ADCL is read, the ADC Data Register is not updated until ADCH is read. Conse-
quently, if the result is left adjusted and no more than 8 bit precision (7 bit + sign bit for
differential input channels) is required, it is sufficient to read ADCH. Otherwise, ADCL
must be read first, then ADCH.
The ADLAR bit in ADMUX, and the MUXn bits in ADMUX affect the way the result is
read from the registers. If ADLAR is set, the result is left adjusted. If ADLAR is cleared
(default), the result is right adjusted.
• ADC9:0: ADC Conversion Result
These bits represent the result from the conversion, as detailed in “ADC Conversion
Result” on page 208.
