| Help. As I stabilize last digit with max7219 |

Hi everyone, I have a problem here, my code is works normally, but the last digit does not stabilize it oscillates +/- 5 mv. I am using 18f4553 configured for 12 bits with max7219.
I used this code.

Honestly, VSS_VDD.
You are unlikely to be able to get better than 8bit useable resolution using the supply as your reference. Every time the PIC does something (particularly things like switching displays drawing some current), the supply _will_ ripple. Even the best regulator takes time to correct.
To honestly get a really useable 12bit resolution requires really careful design of all the circuitry involved, a good reference, and good PCB layout. |

| Okay, but my code reads a value that at the moment is varying from 1,045 mv to 1,048 on the last digit and the source is well stabilized, not showing any variation right now. The values of thousand, hundred and ten are ok, only the units are that they vary. |

You're being asked the question:-
How do you KNOW that BOTH the source and the reference are sufficiently well stabilised?

I have here a multimeter and it show me a value around 5.01 volts.
At this moment I'm switching the reference source to an adjustable one to see what happens. |

Wrong answer I'm afraid.... 
A multimeter _integrates_ the signal. Most (unless you pay a lot of money for high speed meters from somebody like Fluke), will not see signals above a very few Hz. Most cheaper ones have update rates of only about 4Hz. Problem is that the noise you are likely to have is high frequency.
Also you say '5.01', A 12bit ADC, running off 5v will have a resolution of 1.2mV/ step. You need at least 3 decimal places after the '5', to see this type of signal.
Just switching the source, won't help unless the source you have is a really high stability type. and the ground layout around the circuit is good |

Like Mr T. says, there's more to it than your DVM can show.
I'd be having a look around with an AC coupled scope for starters.
Could be very revealing.

I see Mr T. got in as I typed, adds to my comments. |

| Testing here I verified that my reference was not good, I changed it and I improved the code now I already have a variation around 1 mv that is acceptable for the proposed circuit. I will improve the layout of the circuit because it is mounted on a prototype board without much filtering. |

| My problem was really in the reference voltage, I'm going to use a tl431 to make the reference and I think I should solve my problem. And in the final circuit I will use precision resistor so everything is the way I want it. |

Good.
Now as a comment, to improve things (but you do need to be starting with something worth improving...), look at averaging.
One 'classic' is Olympic averaging:
| Code: |
int16 sum,temp;
int16 max,min;
int8 ctr;
max=0;
min=4096;
sum=0;
for (ctr=0;ctr<6;ctr++)
{
delay_us(5);
temp=read_adc();
sum+=temp; //add six
if (temp>max) //record if this is a new 'max' value
max=temp;
if (temp<min) //same if this is a new 'min' value
min=temp;
}
sum-=max;
sum-=min; //now subtract the max and min
//now if you use sum/4 you will get a very good average
|
You get the average of the four 'middle' readings. This is the basis of the scoring system used in Olympic events where they have a jury of (say) five members, and reject the highest and lowest scores. It's a very powerful way of quite quickly getting an average, and rejecting 'extreme' values. Using a count that requires a 'binary' division at the end (6, or 10 readings say), makes the code very fast, since on an integer /4 /8 etc., can be done by simple rotation. |

A TL431 is not really a precision reference. For a 12bit ADC, you need something like a X60008-41 (4.096v reference).
Different 'class' I'm afraid. |
