ADC conversion completes. The CPU will remain in active mode until a new sleep command
is executed.
Note that the ADC will not automatically be turned off when entering other sleep modes than Idle
mode and ADC Noise Reduction mode. The user is advised to write zero to ADEN before enter-
ing such sleep modes to avoid excessive power consumption.

Analog Input Circuitry
The analog input circuitry for single ended channels is illustrated in
Figure 16-8. An analog
source applied to ADCn is subjected to the pin capacitance and input leakage of that pin, regard-
less of whether that channel is selected as input for the ADC. When the channel is selected, the
source must drive the S/H capacitor through the series resistance (combined resistance in the
input path).
The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10k
Ω or
less. If such a source is used, the sampling time will be negligible. If a source with higher imped-
ance is used, the sampling time will depend on how long time the source needs to charge the
S/H capacitor, which can vary widely. The user is recommended to only use low impedance
sources with slowly varying signals, since this minimizes the required charge transfer to the S/H
capacitor.
In order to avoid distortion from unpredictable signal convolution, signal components higher than
the Nyquist frequency (f
ADC/2) should not be present. The user is advised to remove high fre-
quency components with a low-pass filter before applying the signals as inputs to the ADC.

The capacitor in the figure depicts the total capacitance, including the sample/hold capacitor and
any stray or parasitic capacitance inside the device. The value given is worst case.

Analog Noise Canceling Techniques
Digital circuitry inside and outside the device generates EMI which might affect the accuracy of
analog measurements. If conversion accuracy is critical, the noise level can be reduced by
applying the following techniques:
Keep analog signal paths as short as possible.
Make sure analog tracks run over the analog ground plane.
