    The document provides an overview of analog to digital conversion (ADC) in Atmega8 microcontrollers. It explains that ADC measures analog signals like voltage and converts them to digital format. The Atmega8 uses successive approximation to compare the input voltage to half of the reference voltage at each step, updating the ADC register bits accordingly over 8 or 10 cycles. It also outlines some key ADC concepts for Atmega8 like voltage resolution, input voltage measurement formulas, and that the ADC pins are connected to a single internal ADC requiring conversions to be done one at a time. The document then states it will demonstrate a simple ADC project in Atmega8 to read a voltage from a potentiometer and switch on/off two LEDs based on

    ADC in Atmega8 Summary
    If youhavedirectlyjumpedtothissection, thenfor adetailedexplanationonADC readthistutorial fromthebeginning. Tosummarizewhatever we
    learnt till now:
    Signalsareset of valuesthat conveyinformationandaremeasuredbyanyindependentattributeliketimeor
    space. Analogsignalsarereal worldsignalsarounduslikesoundandlight. Digital signalsareanalog
    equivalentsindigital or numericformatwhicharewell understoodbydigital systemslikemicrocontrollers.
    ADC isonesuchhardwarewhichmeasuresanalogsignals(Voltage) andproducesadigital equivalent of the
    samesignal.
    ADC inAVR devicesusesatechniqueknownassuccessiveapproximationbycomparinginput voltagewith
    half of referencevoltagegeneratedinternally. Thecomparisoncontinuesbydividingthevoltagefurther
    downandupdatingeachbit inADC register by1if input voltageishigh, 0otherwise. Thisprocesslasts8
    (for 8bit ADC) or 10(for 10bit ADC) timesandgeneratesresultingbinaryoutput.
    WithregardstoAtmega8afewconceptstoknowbeforehandare:
    1. AVCC: ThisAVR pinsuppliespower toADC. AVcc must not differ morethan0.3V fromVcc
    2. AREF: Another AVR pinwhichcanoptionallybeusedasanexternal voltagereferencepin.
    3. VoltageResolution: Thisisthesmallest voltageincrement whichcanbemeasured. For 10bit ADC, therecanbe1024differentvoltagesand
    for 8bit ADC, therecanbe256differentvoltages.
    4. Input voltagecanbemeasuredas: VIn[V] =(ADCH*256+ADCL) * VRef [V] / 1024for 10bit ADC
    5. Input voltagecanbemeasuredas: VIn[V] =(ADCH)* VRef [V]/256for 8bit ADC
    6. HardwareunitslikeDAC (Digital toAnalogconverter), Comparator, SHA or S/H (Signal andHold), SAR (Successiveapproximationregister)
    together completeADconversion.
    7. Most AVR microcontrollershavebuilt inADC whichreducescost andspacefor anexternal ADC
    8. Lastly, beinformedthat all ADC pinsareconnectedtoonlyoneinternal ADC, whichmeansyouneedtodooneconversionat atime.
