Note that the conversion starts on the following rising ADC clock edge after ADSC is written. The

user is thus advised not to write new channel or reference selection values to ADMUX until one

ADC clock cycle after ADSC is written.

If Auto Triggering is used, the exact time of the triggering event can be indeterministic. Special

care must be taken when updating the ADMUX Register, in order to control which conversion

will be affected by the new settings.

If both ADATE and ADEN is written to one, an interrupt event can occur at any time. If the

ADMUX Register is changed in this period, the user cannot tell if the next conversion is based

on the old or the new settings. ADMUX can be safely updated in the following ways:

When ADATE or ADEN is cleared.

During conversion, minimum one ADC clock cycle after the trigger event.

After a conversion, before the Interrupt Flag used as trigger source is cleared.

When updating ADMUX in one of these conditions, the new settings will affect the next ADC

conversion.

ADC Input Channels

When changing channel selections, the user should observe the following guidelines to ensure

that the correct channel is selected:

In Single Conversion mode, always select the channel before starting the conversion. The chan-

nel selection may be changed one ADC clock cycle after writing one to ADSC. However, the

simplest method is to wait for the conversion to complete before changing the channel selection.

In Free Running mode, always select the channel before starting the first conversion. The chan-

nel selection may be changed one ADC clock cycle after writing one to ADSC. However, the

simplest method is to wait for the first conversion to complete, and then change the channel

selection. Since the next conversion has already started automatically, the next result will reflect

the previous channel selection. Subsequent conversions will reflect the new channel selection.

19.6.2

ADC Voltage Reference

The voltage reference for the ADC (V

REF) indicates the conversion range for the ADC. Single

ended channels that exceed V

REF will result in codes close to 0x3FF. VREF can be selected as

either V

CC, or internal 1.1V / 2.56V voltage reference, or external AREF pin. The first ADC con-

version result after switching voltage reference source may be inaccurate, and the user is

advised to discard this result.
