Basics

LPC1768 has 12 bit ADC which is multiplexed among 8 input pins. It's measurement range is typically 3V which means that ADC resolution is approximately 0.7 mV.

Registers

Here we will discuss commonly used ADC registers.

ADCR ( ADC Control Register )

ADCR
31:28	27	26:24	23:22	21	20:17	16	15:8	7:0
Reserved	EDGE	START	Reserved	PDN	Reserved	BURST	CLCKDIV	SEL

Bit 7:0 – SEL : Channel Select

These bits select which of the AD0.7:0 pins is (are) to be sampled and converted. There is one bit per channel e. g. bit o for AD0, bit 7 AD7.

Write one to enable respective channel. All zeroes is equivalent to 0x01.

Bit 15:8 – CLCKDIV : Clock Divisor

The APB clock (PCLK_ADC0) is divided by (this value plus one) to produce the clock for the A/D converter, which should be less than or equal to 13 MHz.

Bit 16 – BURST

Repeated conversions can be terminated by clearing this bit.

Bit 21 – PDN : Power Down Mode

Setting this bit brings ADC out of power down mode and makes it operational.

Bit 24:26 – START

When the BURST bit is 0, these bits control whether and when an A/D conversion is started:

Bit Value	FIFO Status
0	Empty
1	Not Empty

ADGDR ( ADC Global Data Register )

ADCR
31	27	26:24	23:16	15:4	3:0
Done	EDGE	Channel	Reserved	RESULT	Reserved
