For example, PIC32MX460F512L microcontroller has 16 channels of ADC converters, each 10-bit wide.

Most PIC microcontrollers with ADC features have multiplexed ADC converters where more than one analogue input channel is provided. PIC32 microcontroller ADC converters are usually 10-bit wide, having 1024 quantisation levels. It is also possible to connect an external ADC converter to any type of microcontroller. Some microcontrollers have built-in ADC converters.

Dogan Ibrahim, in PIC32 Microcontrollers and the Digilent chipKIT, 2015 1.3.8 Analogue-to-Digital ConverterĪn ADC is used to convert an analogue signal such as voltage to a digital form so that it can be read and processed by a microcontroller.
