1. Common use cases in applications
An ADC converts analog signals (continuously changing voltages) input from sensors, potentiometers, etc., into digital values (numerical values) that a microcontroller can use for calculations.
1.1 Main Uses
Converts the analog voltage value input from the potentiometer to a digital value.
A potentiometer is attached to the shaft of a servo motor, such as those used in radio-controlled vehicles, to detect the angle of rotation of the motor from the change in output.
Convert analog signals from various sensors into digital values.
It detects the tilt of an object by converting analog signals from an accelerometer. This can be applied to detecting the orientation of a smartphone, for example.
The ambient temperature is measured by converting the analog signal from the temperature sensor.
1.2 Usage Examples (These are examples illustrating the general concept, so details are omitted.)
Examples of potentiometer usage:
2. Main Functions and Block Diagram

2.2 Main Features
Equipped with one successive approximation AD converter unit.
Supports 16-bit or 12-bit resolution and single-ended input (higher resolution allows for finer representation of input voltage).
Number of channels installed (varies depending on the package):
64-pin LQFP: 24 channels, 48-pin LQFP: 16 channels, 48-pin HVQFN: 18 channels, 32-pin HVQFN: 9 channels
Sampling rate (how many times per second the data can be converted)
16-bit mode: up to 3.2 Msps, 12-bit mode: up to 4 Msps
Sample time can be set.
Can operate in low-power mode of the microcontroller.

3. MCX A153 ADC Module
This section explains important points and limitations to consider before using the MCX A153's ADC.
Speed reduction in 16-bit mode
The MCX A153's ADC supports two modes: 16-bit (ENOB16: 16-bit effective resolution) and 12-bit (ENOB12: 12-bit effective resolution). However, the 16-bit mode has a lower sampling rate than the 12-bit mode.
(Excerpt from MCX A153 DataSheet Table.34)
Timing of calibration execution
Calibration requests and execution must be performed during reset or power-on. Furthermore, the clock source and frequency must be configured before calibration can be performed.
Averaging of conversion results
The ADC module can average multiple results for the same channel before saving the conversion result. The hardware averaging function is enabled when the CMDHa[AVGS] bit field is set to a non-zero value. It can be used in any conversion mode and reduces the burden of calculating the average in software.
4. Sample code for AD conversion
4.1 Overview of Sample Code
When the main sequence is executed, device initialization is performed. Device initialization begins with setting the clock, configuring the external terminals, and selecting the peripherals to connect to the terminals. After that, the peripherals (ADC, UART) are initialized and interrupts are enabled. After the initialization process, a software trigger is set within the loop to start ADC conversion, and the AD conversion value and the number of conversions are displayed on the console.
For hardware, we will use the MCX A153 development board "FRDM-MCXA153".

CLOCK_SetClockDiv(kCLOCK_DivADC0, 1u);
div_name: Select a frequency divider defined by the enumeration.
value: division ratio
*The following code is the driver section starting with fsl_clock.c, and user modification is not recommended.

{
volatile uint32_t *pDivCtrl = (volatile uint32_t *)(MRCC0_BASE + (uint32_t)div_name);
assert(div_name <= kCLOCK_DivMax);

}
/* Freeze clock configuration */
SYSCON->CLKUNLOCK |= SYSCON_CLKUNLOCK_UNLOCK_MASK;
}
Clock selection
CLOCK_AttachClk selects one of four clock sources to be used by the ADC peripheral.
The driver configures the connection by passing a value defined in the `clock_attach_id_t` structure as an argument to the `void CLOCK_AttachClk(clock_attach_id_t connection)` function.
//(fsl_clock.hから抜粋） kFRO12M_to_ADC0 = CLK_ATTACH_MUX(kCLOCK_SelADC0, 0U), /* Attach FRO12M to ADC0. */
kFRO_HF_to_ADC0 = CLK_ATTACH_MUX(kCLOCK_SelADC0, 1U), /* Attach FRO_HF to ADC0. */
kCLK_IN_to_ADC0 = CLK_ATTACH_MUX(kCLOCK_SelADC0, 3U), /* Attach CLK_IN to ADC0. */
kCLK_1M_to_ADC0 = CLK_ATTACH_MUX(kCLOCK_SelADC0, 5U), /* Attach CLK_1M to ADC0. */

//(lpadc\interrupt\hardware_init.cから抜粋） CLOCK_AttachClk(kFRO12M_to_ADC0);
The following functions are part of the driver section provided by the SDK, starting with fsl_clock.c, and it is not recommended that users modify them.
//(fsl_clock.hから抜粋） void CLOCK_AttachClk(clock_attach_id_t connection)
{
const uint32_t reg_offset = CLK_ATTACH_REG_OFFSET(connection);
const uint32_t clk_sel = CLK_ATTACH_CLK_SEL(connection);
if (kNONE_to_NONE != connection)
{
CLOCK_SetClockSelect((clock_select_name_t)reg_offset, clk_sel);

{
SCG0->RCCR = (SCG0->RCCR & ~(SCG_RCCR_SCS_MASK)) | SCG_RCCR_SCS(value);
while ((SCG0->CSR & SCG_CSR_SCS_MASK) != SCG_CSR_SCS(value))
{
}
}

SYSCON->CLKUNLOCK &= ~SYSCON_CLKUNLOCK_UNLOCK_MASK;
*pClkCtrl = value;
/* Freeze clock configuration */
SYSCON->CLKUNLOCK |= SYSCON_CLKUNLOCK_UNLOCK_MASK;
}
}
Regarding the board initialization function
The clock will be initialized.
Pin initialization
The InitPins() function is called, and the pin_mux.c file is processed. The pin_mux.c file is used by NXP's MCUXPressoThis can be overridden using the Pin Config tool integrated into the IDE.
//(lpadc\interrupt\hardware_init.cから抜粋） BOARD_InitPins();
The BOARD_InitPins() function performs four operations.
Enable peripheral clock
Disable peripheral reset
External pin-to-pin and peripheral connection (MUX configuration) -> Parameter setting for the structure
Write 3 to the register
Initializing the boot clock
The MCX A153 supports Mid Drive Mode and Standard Drive Mode. These modes operate with VDD_CORE voltage levels of 1.0 V and 1.1 V, respectively, and with an rfo_hf clock of 48 MHz or 96 MHz. Switching modes requires external power supply and configuration of voltage-related registers such as the LDO.
//(lpadc\interrupt\hardware_init.cから抜粋） BOARD_InitBootClocks();
The clock is set using a register setting function that corresponds to the operating frequency.
//(fsl_clock.cから抜粋） void BOARD_InitBootClocks(void)
{
BOARD_BootClockFRO96M();
}
Initializing the debug port
//(lpadc\interrupt\hardware_init.cから抜粋） BOARD_InitDebugConsole();
//(board.cから抜粋） void BOARD_InitDebugConsole(void)
{
/* attach 12 MHz clock to LPUART0 (debug console) */
CLOCK_SetClockDiv(kCLOCK_DivLPUART0, 1u);
CLOCK_AttachClk(BOARD_DEBUG_UART_CLK_ATTACH);
RESET_PeripheralReset(BOARD_DEBUG_UART_RST);
DbgConsole_Init(BOARD_DEBUG_UART_INSTANCE,
BOARD_DEBUG_UART_BAUDRATE,
BOARD_DEBUG_UART_TYPE,
BOARD_DEBUG_UART_CLK_FREQ);
}
Application initialization
ADC initialization is handled within the LPADC_Init(DEMO_LPADC_BASE, &mLpadcConfigStruct); function. The LPADC_Init() function is a function in the driver section of fsl_lpadc.c.

About ADC calibration
Before using an ADC, calibration is performed to correct for offset errors and other factors included in the conversion result, thereby improving the accuracy of the AD conversion.
The calibration process can be broadly divided into the following two stages:
Set the calibration mode and conditions.
Perform calibration and apply the correction values to the ADC.
In the default sample, ADC calibration is performed after LPADC_Init() is executed and before AD conversion begins. First, the offset calibration mode is set with LPADC_SetOffsetCalibrationMode() on the corresponding device. Then, if DEMO_LPADC_DO_OFFSET_CALIBRATION is enabled, LPADC_DoOffsetCalibration() is executed; otherwise, the offset value set in advance with LPADC_SetOffsetValue() is used.
Furthermore, if the corresponding function macro is enabled, LPADC_DoAutoCalibration() is executed after a delay of 1 µs or more. This performs calibration of gain errors and linearity errors. Each process is compiled only if the function macro supported by the device is enabled.
The following are the settings for the LPADC calibration mode.
//(lpadc\interrupt\lpadc_interrupt.cから抜粋) /* Request LPADC calibration. */
#if defined(FSL_FEATURE_LPADC_HAS_CTRL_CALOFSMODE) && FSL_FEATURE_LPADC_HAS_CTRL_CALOFSMODE

5. MCX A153 DMA
Why use DMA transfer for ADC conversion?
When processing data acquired by an ADC solely in software, the CPU needs to monitor the completion of the ADC conversion, read the conversion results, and write them to memory. This is not a major problem for a single AD conversion, but when sampling continuously at regular intervals or when handling multiple input channels, this process occurs repeatedly. As a result, the CPU processing load increases, potentially reducing the time available for other application processing.
One way to solve this problem is to transfer the ADC conversion results using DMA (Direct Memory Access). Using DMA, the ADC conversion results can be automatically transferred to memory as soon as the ADC conversion is complete. In other words, since the process from acquiring the ADC conversion results to storing them in memory can be handled by hardware, the amount of data transfer processing performed by the CPU can be reduced, and the processing load on the software can be lowered.
For these reasons, configurations combining ADC and DMA are often used in applications requiring continuous AD conversion and high-speed data acquisition. This article will first explain the basic initialization method of the ADC, and then introduce how to transfer the ADC conversion result to memory using DMA with the MCX A153.
Overview of AD conversion value transfer using DMA
The data after AD conversion is stored in a buffer within the ADC peripheral. Instead of reading the data manually each time, the ADC may trigger DMA to transfer the data. For example, the program will be modified to perform AD conversion five times consecutively, then save the data to a RAM buffer via DMA, and display the average, minimum, and maximum values on the console.
Procedure for transferring AD conversion values using DMA
We will modify the ADC sample code to add DMA processing.
DMA activation is performed using a DMA Request signal from the ADC.
Using DMA, the ADC FIFO values (for 5 conversions) are copied to RAM, and an interrupt is notified to the CPU.
The CPU takes the average value within the main loop after the DMA transfer is complete and displays the min, max, and ave values to the console.
Precautions
To add DMA code, you need to add the DMA driver header file and source code to your project. The easiest way to do this is to create a sample DMA code (frdmmcxa153_edma3_memory_to_memory_transfer) from the MCUXpresso IDE and copy it. Simply copy the following files from the drivers directory.
fsl_edma_core.h
fsl_edma_soc.c
fsl_edma_soc.h
fsl_edma.c
fsl_edma.h
5.1 Code modifications and additions related to ADC
Code modification steps
The interrupt that occurs when ADC conversion is complete has been disabled.
Added ADC configuration.
Setting to perform AD conversion 5 times consecutively.
Enable DMA requests
Set the FIFO watermark to 4.
Added processing to obtain the average, minimum, and maximum values of the values transferred by DMA, and to output them to the console.
1. Disable interrupts when ADC conversion is complete.
Since the Interrupt Enable Register (IE) is enabled using the LPADC_EnableInterrupts() function and kLPADC_FIFOWatermarkInterruptEnable, we will comment out this line.
// LPADC_EnableInterrupts(DEMO_LPADC_BASE, kLPADC_FIFOWatermarkInterruptEnable);
2. Add ADC configuration
The ADC is configured to loop 5 times (= 5 AD conversions).
mLpadcCommandConfigStruct.loopCount = 4 //loopCount +1回の変換

LPADC_EnableFIFOWatermarkDMA(DEMO_LPADC_BASE, 1); // 1でDMA Requestがイネーブル
3. Set the number of Watermark levels in the FIFO to 4.
// 33行目
/* ++ ADCのマクロ */
#define FIFO0WatermarkLEVEL (4)
//108行目
mLpadcConfigStruct.FIFOWatermark = FIFO0WatermarkLEVEL;
4. Added processing to obtain the average, minimum, and maximum values of the values transferred by DMA, and console output.
uint32_t adc_values[5] = {0};
PRINTF("Please press any key to get user channel's ADC value.\r\n");
while(1)
{
GETCHAR();
EXAMPLE_DMA_BASEADDR->CH[0].CH_CSR = DMA_CH_CSR_ERQ(1);
EXAMPLE_DMA_BASEADDR->CH[0].TCD_DLAST_SGA = -0x14;
LPADC_DoSoftwareTrigger(DEMO_LPADC_BASE, 1U); /* 1U is trigger0 mask. */
while (!g_Transfer_Done)
{
/* DMA転送終了割り込み待ち */
}
g_Transfer_Done = false;
uint16_t min=adc_values[0];
uint16_t max=adc_values[0];
uint32_t sum=0;
for(uint32_t i=0; i<5; i++)
{
if(max < (0x0000FFFF & adc_values[i]))
max = adc_values[i];
if(min > (0x0000FFFF & adc_values[i]))
min = adc_values[i];
sum += 0x0000FFFF & adc_values[i];
}
PRINTF("ADC Min: %d, Max: %d, ave: %d\r\n", min, max, sum/5);
for(size_t i=0; i<5; i++)
{
adc_values[i] = 0;
}
sum = 0;
}
