ADC Noise Canceler Function
The ADC features a noise canceler that enables conversion during ADC Noise Reduction mode (see “Sleep Modes” on
page 31) to reduce noise induced from the CPU core and other I/O peripherals. If other I/O peripherals must be active dur-
ing conversion, this mode works equivalently for Idle mode. To make use of this feature, the following procedure should be
used:
1. Make sure that the ADC is enabled and is not busy converting. Single Conversion Mode must be selected and the
ADC conversion complete interrupt must be enabled.
ADEN = 1
ADSC = 0
ADFR = 0
ADIE = 1
2. Enter ADC Noise Reduction mode (or Idle mode). The ADC will start a conversion once the CPU has been halted.
3. If no other interrupts occur before the ADC conversion completes, the ADC interrupt will wake up the CPU and exe-
cute the ADC Conversion Complete interrupt routine.
