13.2.2 Multiplexer Selection

Although there is really only one ADC in the MCU, and only 8 external pins for analog input purposes, the ADC peripheral has 32 possible channels to select from. This is because the ATMega128 can operate in differential mode and have internal amplifiers to amplify the voltage. The channel is selected by MUX0 to MUX4 (bits 0 to 4 of ADMUX). Refer to table 98 on page 242 for a full list of the channels.
