2.6 8-Bit ADC Function

The MSP430x09x can be configured to perform one of two different types of 8-bit A/D conversions: a SAR logic is implemented or a ramp generator with the APINT counter register can be used. With both methods, the result is stored in the APINT register. For the DAC, comparator, and multiplexer blocks, the APINT register is used. One comparator input is the signal to be measured, and the other signal is the DAC output. To observe the internal signal that is used for the A/D conversion, the path to the AOUT pin can be enabled by setting the OSEL, DBON, and ODEN bits to 1.
