The ADC 19 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the ADC122S101, a high-performance two-channel CMOS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Texas Instruments. The ADC122S101 comes with an integrated 12-bit SAR-ADC, input multiplexer, and control logic block, allowing ADC to communicate with MCU through a high-speed serial interface. Unlike the conventional practice of specifying performance at a single sample rate only, this ADC is fully specified over a sample rate range of 500ksps to 1Msps. The converter is based on a successive-approximation register architecture with an internal track-and-hold circuit configurable to accept one or two input signals at its input channels.
The ADC 19 Click Board™ communicates with MCU through a standard SPI interface and operates at clock rates up to 16MHz, providing data in digital format of 12-bits. The output serial data is straight binary and is compatible with several standards, such as SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and many standard DSP serial interfaces.
The ADC 19 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

We provide a library for the ADC 19 Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
This library contains API for the ADC 19 Click Board™ driver.
Key functions
adc19_set_vref This function sets the voltage reference value that will be used for voltage calculation.
adc19_set_input_channel This function sets the selected input channel active by modifying the control register.
adc19_get_voltage This function reads the voltage from the previously selected channel by using SPI serial interface.
This example demonstrates the use of the ADC 19 Click Board™ by reading the voltage from the two analog input channels.

Other MikroE Libraries used in the example:
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
The ADC 19 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
