ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION

GENERAL OVERVIEW

The ADC block incorporates a 4.05 msec, 6-channel, 12-bit

resolution, single-supply ADC. This block provides the user

with a multichannel multiplexer, track-and-hold amplifier, on-

chip reference, offset calibration features and ADC. All compo-

nents in this block are easily configured via a 3-register SFR

interface.

The ADC consists of a conventional successive-approximation

converter based around a capacitor DAC. The converter accepts

an analog input range of 0 V to VREF. A precision, factory cali-

brated 2.5 V reference is provided on-chip. An external reference

may also be used via the external VREF pin. This external refer-

ence can be in the range 1.0 V to AVDD.

Single or continuous conversion modes can be initiated in

software. In hardware, a convert signal can be applied to an

external pin (CONVST), or alternatively Timer 2 can be config-

ured to generate a repetitive trigger for ADC conversions.

The ADuC814 has a high speed ADC to SPI interface data

capture logic implemented on-chip. Once configured, this logic

transfers the ADC data to the SPI interface without the need for

CPU intervention.

The ADC has six external input channels. Two of the ADC

channels are multiplexed with the DAC outputs, ADC4 with

DAC0, and ADC5 with DAC1. When the DAC outputs are in

use, any ADC conversion on these channels represents the DAC

output voltage. Due care must be taken to ensure that no

external signal is trying to drive these ADC/DAC channels

while the DAC outputs are enabled.

In addition to the six external channels of the ADC, five internal

signals are also routed through the front end multiplexer. These

signals include a temperature monitor, DAC0, DAC1, VREF, and

AGND. The temperature monitor is a voltage output from an

on-chip band gap reference, which is proportional to absolute

temperature. These internal channels can be selected similarly

to the external channels via CS3–CS0 bits in the ADCCON2 SFR.

The ADuC814 is shipped with factory programmed offset and

gain calibration coefficients that are automatically downloaded

to the ADC on a power-on or RESET event, ensuring optimum

ADC performance. The ADC core contains automatic endpoint

self-calibration and system calibration options that allow the

user to overwrite the factory programmed coefficients if desired

and tailor the ADC transfer function to the system in which it is

being used.

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION

The analog input range for the ADC is 0 V to VREF. For this

range, the designed code transitions occur midway between

successive integer LSB values, i.e., 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSBs, 5/2 LSBs . . .

FS –3/2 LSBs. The output coding is straight binary with 1 LSB =

FS/4096 or 2.5 V/4096 = 0.61 mV when VREF = 2.5 V. The ideal

input/output transfer characteristic for the 0 V to VREF range is

shown in Figure 23.

ADC Data Output Format

Once configured via the ADCCON1–3 SFRs, the ADC converts

the analog input and provides an ADC 12-bit result word in the

ADCDATAH/L SFRs. The ADCDATAL SFR contains the

bottom 8 bits of the 12-bit result. The bottom nibble of the

ADCDATAH SFR contains the top 4 bits of the result, while the

top nibble contains the channel ID of the ADC channel which

has been converted on. This ID corresponds to the channel

selection bits CD3–CD0 in the ADCCON2 SFR. The format of

the ADC 12-bit result word is shown in Figure 24.
