Hi All

I am using the AD converter of an 18F6520 whilst  VCFG1 & VCFG0 bits are set
to zero.
The data sheet says this connects AVDD and AVSS as the reference.  (I'm
hoping maybe they mean "connects to some kind of band gap reference")

My VDD is 3.3V and VSS is GND.
I'm getting numbers as though the reference is actually 2.5 volts instead of
3.3V.  (see the measurements below)

I've been all over the data sheet and errata I don't see a mention of a 2.5
volt internal reference anywhere.
Am I losing my mind or is there a 2.5 volt internal reference on this part
when VCFG1 & VCFG0 bits are set to zero?

Has anyone else seen this type of behavior on an AD converter due to
something else?

 

I plan tomorrow to connect a voltage to the external reference pins to be
sure...........though it is/will be a pain in butt because I was not
planning on using an external reference.

 

Here are the measurements that make me think this.

Note : I've got about 40mV of noise on the power supply.

Thanks in advance.

Things should be as simple as possible but no simpler
