10 bit adc on 8 bit microcontroller
Hi,
Hope you guys don't mind guiding a newbie like me. Thanks in advance...
I'm a little confuse in determining the category of a microcontroller, such as a 8-bit MCU or a 10-bit MCU. Say, for HC711E9, this is 8-bit, right?
But if we are talking about HC12BE32 (as attached is the location of the summary obtained from Freescale's website for this product)
https://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=68HC12BE32&nodeId=0162468636g3Jm#
Is it true that if the ports for the microcontroller is, say from 0-7, which is a total of 8, it means the specific microcontroller is categorized as 8-bit microcontroller?
If this is true, I'm confused as the ports for HC12BE32 are 0-7, which is a total of 8, does it mean that this is a 8-bit microcontroller? However, it is stated in the summary that it has 10-bit ADC. Sorry for such simple question, hope you guys don't mind guiding me. So, this HC12BE32 is actually a 8-bit MCU or 10-bit MCU?
Thanks a lot in advance.
