6.3.2.5
This register selects the conversion clock frequency, the length of the second phase of the sample time and
the resolution of the A/D conversion (i.e., 8-bits or 10-bits). Writes to this register will abort current
conversion sequence but will not start a new sequence.

A/D Resolution Select — This bit selects the resolution of A/D conversion results as either 8 or 10 bits. The
A/D converter has an accuracy of 10 bits. However, if low resolution is required, the conversion can be speeded
up by selecting 8-bit resolution.
0 10 bit resolution
1 8 bit resolution
Sample Time Select —These two bits select the length of the second phase of the sample time in units of ATD
conversion clock cycles. Note that the ATD conversion clock period is itself a function of the prescaler value
(bits PRS4-0). The sample time consists of two phases. The first phase is two ATD conversion clock cycles long
and transfers the sample quickly (via the buffer amplifier) onto the A/D machine’s storage node. The second
phase attaches the external analog signal directly to the storage node for final charging and high accuracy.

ATD Clock Prescaler — These 5 bits are the binary value prescaler value PRS. The ATD conversion clock
Note: The maximum ATD conversion clock frequency is half the bus clock. The default (after reset) prescaler
frequency is calculated as follows:
value is 5 which results in a default ATD conversion clock frequency that is bus clock divided by 12.
