Regarding Adc conversion and initialisation

[sasikumar_e]

Hi,

i am trying to code adc in MC56F8367, since trying with the sample code provided in codewarrior we were able to find some values in result register after initializing without providing any sample voltage.

since we tried to check the varience from (0-20)v we are not able to find any major difference upto 8v, after 9v is applied as sample input we are not able to get the desired output whereas could find some nearest value with the difference value of 9%

kindly find the attachment for the sample code 

Thanks

Hi, Sasi,

As Kamil said the ADC analog pins are input pins, it does not make sense to test the ADC analog pin voltage when the ADC analog pins are float.If you use ADC to test the analog ADC channel voltage, the ADC analog channel must be driven by low impedance source.

Hi, Sasi,

Pls refer to the attached example of ADC, but it is based on MC56F8323.

If you still have issue, pls attach your project so that I can help to have a debug.

The example uses software triggering mode. In the events.c,

#pragma interrupt called
void AD1_OnEnd(void)
{
    AD1_GetValue16(sample);
    adcresult0 = getReg(ADCA_ADRSLT0); //connect AN0 pin to 3.3V,adcresult0=32760 after I tested
    asm(nop);
    adcresult1 = getReg(ADCA_ADRSLT1);
    asm(nop);
    //the array sample[] save the ADC result
    asm(nop);
    AD1_Measure(FALSE);
//    setRegBit(ADCA_ADSTAT,EOSI); //ADCA_ADSTAT_EOSI_MASK);
  /* Write your code here ... */
}

Hi, Sasi

Can you tell me the tools you are using for example CodeWarrior for DSP56800E or CodeWarrior for mcu verxx? I think  the tools can generate the example code based on PE, pls use the example code.

Hi xiangjun,

as for the above comment while trying to initialise ADC i m getting an 1.7V in the respective ADC pin but this voltage is produced only in loop simultaneous mode or loop sequential mode, while in the once sequential, once simultaneous, triggered sequential, triggered simultaneous unable to find that voltage

Hello Sasi,

voltage at ADC pin should be from external circuit, MCU doesn't create any voltage at its ADC pin irrespective of its configuration. As it is input pins and not output pins. Hence, please verify your schematic around MCU to make sure voltages are correct. and if possible please share schematic around MCU.

Hi xiangjun, 

while trying to initialize adc the respective pin provides 1.7V such as when any pin is initialized we get 1.7V at the respective pin

Hi xiangjun,

i am using code warrior for mcu version 11.1 i am getting error with the available sample code

[sasikumar_e]

Hi all,

   Thanks, I forgot to mention we have a divider which scales down the 20v voltage supply to 3v as for the adc input supply,

this is one of my reference values provided for the desired output voltage

Divider voltage      ADC register value

No input                  3898

0V                           3a50

0.75V                      3b70

1V                           4c88

1.5V                        5768

3V                           6988

in most cases there is only a little variance in register value 

Thanks

Hi Sasi

What are the resistor sizes in your divider.

If you have too high of an impedance you will not get a good reading.  I had that problem in the past.

Also you should add a small capacitor at the ADC input to help.

what is the value of VrefH and VrefL is selected? and how ADC is configured?

Hello sasi kumar, hope you are not connecting more then 3.3V directly to MCU pins. voltage higher then 3.3V must be scale down by resistor divider or by any other means to bring it to VrefH V range then only connect to MCU pins. Hence please share the hardware gain of your signal to check what voltage ADC pin is connected to, As well as can you please also share your ADC result register (digital) value.

Hi, Sasi,

Regarding your question, from the following table 10-1, we know that the input analog voltage ranges from -0.4V to +4.0V, the operating analog input voltage is from GND to Vrefh(it is 3.3V generally).

So you can not connect the 20V voltage to the analog pin directly, otherwise, the ADC may be damaged. If you want to test the 20V voltage, you can use a resistor divider and guarantee that the voltage to the analog ADC pin is in the range from GND to 3.3V.
