Abstract

This article includes the source code and function calls for performing analog-to-digital conversions using the MAX7651 EV kit. It is the first of a 3-part application example for writing, compiling, and downloading a simple program to the MAX7651 EV kit target board.

The source code in this article demonstrates and is an example of how to perform analog-to-digital conversions using the MAX7651 8051-compatible microcontroller. It includes the key steps of writing, compiling, and downloading code to the MAX7651EVKIT necessary to perform the conversions and read the results. The program uses the on-chip 12-bit integrated ADC contained in the MAX7651.

The example source code was created using Keil DK-51 IDE tools. You should download and install the Keil DK-51 demo software at www.keil.com to easily use the example source code. This Keil software includes the basic library for the MAX7651. Next, you should download the µVision2^® project files and source code: AN3083_uVision2_Project_Files.zip.

This example uses the MAX7651EVKIT. This source code can, however, be demonstrated without the MAX7651EVKIT by using the Keil µVision^® IDE Simulator. Refer to the MAX7651EVKIT quick start manual for more details on the installation of the Keil software.

Note: The example source code provided by Analog is public domain. Feel free to copy, modify, or use as required.

Description of C Code

The effective use of this example source code assumes some familiarity with the C programming language. It consists of 3 parts, the main() program, called "ADC Test Function", and 2 function calls: convert_all_channels() and convert_channel(). The main program begins by initializing the program with the register locations of the MAX7651 and including the standard library (stdio.h) function. Next, it configures the MAX7651 to communicate with a PC using a standard serial port.

The main() program calls 2 functions. The convert_all_channels() function performs a conversion of all 8 ADC input channels sequentially. The convert_channel() function allows the user to select the conversion channel and returns a result upon completion of the ADC conversion.

To start a conversion, simply call either convert_all_channels() or convert_channel() functions. The functions perform the conversion(s) by writing the desired channel to the ADCON register in the MAX7651 and then, polling the ADCON register for the end of conversion. After the conversion finishes, it returns the result to the calling function. The main() program then displays the results to the serial port using the printf() function included in stdio.h.

Usage: The function will convert and return the result of a Channel.
Parameters: adc_ch, Select ADC channel to be converted.

Channels 0-7 = single ended channel 0-7.
	Channels 8-11 = differential channel pairs {CH0,1}, {CH2,3}, {CH4,5}, {CH6,7}
	Channel 12 = differential reference measurement {REF+,REF-}

Return: Function returns Integer with the conversion result
