The A/D module can operate during SLEEP mode. This
requires that the A/D clock source be set to RC
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). When the RC clock source is
selected, the A/D module waits one instruction cycle
before starting the conversion. This allows the SLEEP
instruction to be executed, which eliminates all digital
switching noise from the conversion. When the conver-
sion is completed the GO/DONE bit will be cleared, and
the result loaded into the ADRES register. If the A/D
interrupt is enabled, the device will wake-up from
SLEEP. If the A/D interrupt is not enabled, the A/D mod-
ule will then be turned off, although the ADON bit will
remain set.
When the A/D clock source is another clock option (not
RC), a SLEEP instruction will cause the present conver-
sion to be aborted and the A/D module to be turned off,
though the ADON bit will remain set.
Turning off the A/D places the A/D module in its lowest
current consumption state.

The overall accuracy of the A/D is less than
V
all accuracy includes offset error, full scale error, and
integral error. The A/D converter is guaranteed to be
monotonic. The resolution and accuracy may be less

phase clock transitions. This reduces, to a large extent,
the effects of digital switching noise. This is not possible
with the RC derived clock. The loss of accuracy due to
digital switching noise can be significant if many I/O
pins are active.
In systems where the device will enter SLEEP mode
after the start of the A/D conversion, the RC clock
source selection is required. In this mode, the digital
noise from the modules in SLEEP are stopped. This
method gives high accuracy.

A device reset forces all registers to their reset state.
This forces the A/D module to be turned off, and any
conversion is aborted. The value that is in the ADRES
register is not modified for a Reset. The ADRES regis-
ter will contain unknown data after a Power-on Reset.
8.8
If the input voltage exceeds the rail values (V
by greater than 0.2V, then the accuracy of the conver-
sion is out of specification.
An external RC filter is sometimes added for anti-alias-
ing of the input signal. The R component should be
selected to ensure that the total source impedance is
kept under the 10 k
external components connected (via hi-impedance) to
an analog input pin (capacitor, zener diode, etc.) should
have very little leakage current at the pin.
