CMP1_IN3 Not working on FRDM-K64F

knovinger — Fri, 12 Oct 2018 16:36:37 GMT

I'm working with the FRDM-K64F and the cmp_polling driver example provided with the SDK (ver 2.4.2) . The example works perfectly as is, but i'm trying to reconfigure the example to use CMP1_IN3 and have been unsuccessful.

It's my understanding this is a default port and it's first come/first serve on the mode of operation (i.e. DAC0_OUT/CMP1_IN3/ADC0_SE23). That said, all I've done to the example is modify pin_mux.c with the PIN_TOOL to remove the initial configuration of PTC7 as CMP0_IN1. Then, i just changed the define statement to point to CMP1, channel 3.

Are there some additional configurations that need to set for this particular input to work?

To me, the datasheets and reference manuals are unclear in what they mean by a single pin having the functions DAC0_OUT/CMP1_IN3/ADC0_SE23.

Hi Kevin

The pin in question is simply a pin connected to the three peripherals at the same time.

Out of reset the DAC is disabled and so is not driving this output, meaning that it has two functions in parallel - ADC0_SE23 and CMP1_IN3 and means that you can read the value on the pin by reading the ADC and you can also use the same input as comparator input (at the same time since two inputs in parallel don't disturb each other).

If you enable the DAC it will drive a voltage on the pin, which is then the input voltage seen by the ADC and the CMP. In this case the pin can be considered as an output and so would not be connected to external circuitry driving it.

I have attached a FRDM-K64F binary that you can load to your board. It will read the ADC_23 input every 3s and print the value to the OpenSDA VCOM (115kBaud). It also sets up the CMP1 as you have done so and gives messages each time the comparator detects a falling or rising event. The comparator output is enabled (PTB21 - the blue LED) so the comparator state can also be observed/measured).
Finally, in the debug menu on the VCOM you can enter the HW menu and command DAC output values: "dac 0 fff", for example, would set max output signal. When this command is used it also enables the DAC so that it starts driving the pin, and its voltage is measured on ADC_23 and controls the CMP positive input.

This is the CMP code that I use in the uTasker project which does everything automatically and I didn't see any complications with CMP1_IN3. It is much easier to use (and more power-ful) than the examples you modified (which is more error prone). Here the CMP is simply changed by modifying the comparator_setup.comparator value:

static void fnConfigureComparator(void)
{
    COMPARATOR_SETUP comparator_setup;                                   // interrupt configuration parameters
    comparator_setup.int_type = COMPARATOR_INTERRUPT;                    // identifier when configuring
    comparator_setup.int_priority = PRIORITY_COMPARATOR;                 // comparator interrupt priority
    comparator_setup.int_handler = comparator_trigger;                   // interrupt call-back
    comparator_setup.comparator = 1;                                     // comparator 1
    comparator_setup.comparator_mode = (COMPARATOR_BUS_CLOCK | COMPARATOR_HYSTERISIS_LEVEL_0 | COMPARATOR_HIGH_SPEED_MODE |
                                        COMPARATOR_OUTPUT_ENABLE | COMPARATOR_OUTPUT_UNFILTERED |
                                        COMPARATOR_INTERRUPT_RISING_AND_FALLING |
                                        COMPARATOR_DAC_ENABLE | COMPARATOR_DAC_VOLTAGE_VDD |
                                        COMPARATOR_ENABLE);
    comparator_setup.filter = 0;                                         // filter sample count(1..7) in external sampling mode or 0..255 in bus clock mode
    comparator_setup.DAC_level = 31;                                     // half-voltage reference generated
    comparator_setup.positive_input = COMPARATOR_IN3;                    // positive input
    comparator_setup.negative_input = COMPARATOR_IN_DAC_OUT;             // negative input
    fnConfigureInterrupt((void *)&comparator_setup);                     // start operation
}

This is a reference debug output session showing the ADC value being periodically output and some falling/rising CMP detections when I apply 0V/3V3 to the pin.
I then enter the HW menu and command some DAC 0 output values, which are measured by the ADC and also cause further CMP rising/falling detections when the values cross the CMP threshold (with hysterisis):

As reference, here are the register values used to setup CMP1 [using interrupts on both rising and falling senses] so that you can work out what is missing in your code (there are no further settings needed).

Hi Kevin Novinger,

Please try modify the value of DEMO_CMP_BASE and DEMO_CMP_USER_CHANNEL.

Best Regards,

Robin
