Use of the CCP2 Trigger
An A/D conversion can be started by the special event
trigger of the CCP2 module. This requires that the
CCP2M3:CCP2M0 bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be pro-
grammed as ‘1011’ and that the A/D module is enabled
(ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the GO/
DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D acquisition and
conversion and the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will be
reset to zero. Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automati-
cally repeat the A/D acquisition period with minimal
software overhead (moving ADRESH:ADRESL to the
desired location). The appropriate analog input
channel must be selected and the minimum acquisition
period is either timed by the user, or an appropriate
TACQ time selected before the special event trigger sets
the GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion).
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the
special event trigger will be ignored by the A/D module
but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter.

Legend: — = unimplemented, read as ‘0’. Shaded cells are not used for A/D conversion.
Note 1: These bits are unimplemented on 28-pin devices; always maintain these bits clear.
2: PORTA<7:6> and their direction bits are individually configured as port pins based on various primary
oscillator modes. When disabled, these bits read as ‘0’.
3: RE3 port bit is available only as an input pin when the MCLRE Configuration bit is ‘0’.
4: These registers are not implemented on 28-pin devices.
