A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in

. Since the analog input pins share their

connection with a digital input, they have reverse
biased ESD protection diodes to V

DD

 and V

SS

. The

analog input, therefore, must be between V

SS

 and V

DD

.

If the input voltage deviates from this range by more
than 0.6V in either direction, one of the diodes is
forward biased and a latch-up may occur.
A maximum source impedance of 10 k

 is recommended

for the analog sources. Also, any external component
connected to an analog input pin, such as a capacitor or
a Zener diode, should have very little leakage current to
minimize inaccuracies introduced.

Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins

configured as analog inputs will read as a
‘0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will
convert as an analog input, according to
the input specification.

2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a

digital input, may cause the input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.
