Question The MicroConverter has separate pins for analog and digital grounds. Should I
connect these to
two separate ground planes on my board? Answer No. At least, not unless the two ground planes…
Question Can you please supply the specification for the on-board temperature sensor on
the ADUC824/ADUC834 devices? I need an accurate description of the temp
channel. This doesn't appear in the datasheets…
Question The ADuC834 has separate pins for analog and digital power supplies. Can I run
from a split
supply, for example a 3.3V DVDD and a 5V AVDD? Answer Yes, You may run the ADuC834 from split supplies…
Question The primary ADC is differential. Can I convert on a single-ended input voltage
by grounding one
of the inputs?. Answer No, the ADC inputs for the primary ADC cannot be within 100mV of the rails…
Question Port 1 on the ADuC834 is primarily used for analog inputs. Can I use Port 1
pins for digital I/0?
If so, how? Answer Pins 1.2 to P1.7 inclusive are analog input/digital input pins. They have…
Question Will I need to implement an external reset generator circuit for my ADuC834
