ADC
❏ The ADC Peripheral is an important part of modern Microcontrollers
❏ It helps us in interfacing the Analog Devices like Sensors to the MCU.

Introduction
❏ ADC is short for Analog to Digital Converter.
❏ ADC converts an analog signal to a digital signal.
❏ Ex: Audio recording system, Temperature, Sound, Image, Pressure, etc.,
❏ All modern ADC implementations are IC based to reduce the complexity of matched
components.
Features
❏ The LPC1768 MCU consists of an 8-channel 12-bit Successive Approximation type
Analog to Digital Converter.
❏ 12-bit is the resolution of the ADC, which represents the number of discrete values an
ADC can produce for a given analog reference voltage.
❏ ADC in LPC1768 is having a resolution of 12-bits, it can produce 2^12 discrete values
for a range of analog voltages, which is usually between 0V and 3.3V.
❏ Resolution in terms of Voltage = VREFP – VREFN / 2M.

Resolution of ADC = 3.3/(2^{12}) = 3.3/4096 =0.000805 = 0.8mV$$

LPC1768 ADC Registers
Register Function Description
ADCR A/D Control Register. Used to Start ADC, Select Operating Mode, Channel
Selection, Set Clock Division.
ADGDR A/D Global Data Register. Contains the Data of the most recent A/D Conversion
ADINTEN A/D Interrupt Enable Register. Used to enable interrupt when a channel completes
conversion.
ADDR0 – A/D Channel Data Register. These registers hold the result of the recent conversion in
ADDR7 that respective channel.
ADSTAT A/D Status Register. Holds the status of all ADC Channels.
ADTRM A/D Trim Register. Contains Trim values for ADC an DAC.
ADC Modes
❏ Two ways in which the ADC Module can work
❏ Software Controlled Mode
❏ Burst Mode (or Hardware Mode)
❏ In Software Controlled Mode, only one channel must be made active during a
conversion and at a time only one conversion is possible. To convert again, you have to
repeat the process.
❏ In Hardware Scan Mode or Burst Mode, the conversions will happen continuously on
any number of channels starting from LSB (AD0.0) then progressing towards MSB
(AD0.7).

Software-Controlled Mode
❏ The Power Control for Peripherals Register or PCONP is used enable or disable a
peripheral block. The ADC is disabled on reset. So, first enable ADC by setting the 12th
bit in PCONP register.
❏ LPC_SC->PCONP |= (1<<12);
❏ LPC_ADC->ADCR |= (1<<21);
❏ AD0.0 channel and set the ADC Clock Divider as 1.

LPC_ADC->ADCR |= (1<<0) | (1<<8);

❏ LPC_ADC->ADCR |= (1<<24);
❏ while((LPC_ADC->ADDR0 & (1<<31)) == 0);
❏ int result = ((LPC_ADC->ADDR0 >> 4) & 0xFFF);

Burst Mode
❏ The power setup in PCONP register and ADCR register and the clock divider settings
remain the same even in burst mode.
❏ LPC_SC->PCONP |= (1<<12);
❏ LPC_ADC->ADCR |= (1<<21) | (1<<8);
❏ LPC_ADC->ADCR |= (1<<0) | (1<<1);
❏ LPC_ADC->ADCR |= (1<<16);
Contd...
❏ unsigned long value ADGDR = LPC_ADC->ADGDR;
❏ int channel = ((valueADGDR >> 24) & 0x07);
❏ int result = ((valueADGDR >> 4) & 0xFFF);
