Overview
Das ADC 12 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die einen voll ausgestatteten, universellen Analog-Digital-Wandler enthält. Diese Platine verfügt über den ADS7828, ein stromsparendes 12-Bit-Datenerfassungsgerät mit einer seriellen I2C-Schnittstelle und einem 8-Kanal-Multiplexer von Texas Instruments. Der A/D-Wandler verfügt über einen Sample-and-Hold-Verstärker und eine interne, asynchrone Uhr. Die Kombination aus einer seriellen I2C-Schnittstelle, bis zu acht differenziellen Analogeingängen, integrierter Referenz mit gepuffertem Ausgang und Mikrostromverbrauch macht dieses Click Board™ ideal für Anwendungen, bei denen der A/D-Wandler in der Nähe der Eingangsquelle an entfernten Standorten sein muss, und für Anwendungen, bei denen eine Isolierung erforderlich ist.
Das ADC 12 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The ADC 12 Click Board™ Work?
The ADC 12 Click Board™ is based on the ADS7828, a low-power 12-bit data acquisition device that features a serial I2C interface and an 8-channel multiplexer from Texas Instruments. The architecture of the ADS7828, which is a classic Successive Approximation Register (SAR) A/D converter, is based on capacitive redistribution that inherently includes a sample-and-hold function. It has an integrated I2C input and output port as well as screw terminal connectors for each analogue input channel. It is controlled by an internally generated free-running clock. When the ADS7828 is not performing conversions or being addressed, it keeps the A/D converter core powered off, and the internal clock does not operate.
When the A/D converter enters the Hold mode, the voltage on the selected channel pin of the input terminal is captured on the internal capacitor array. The input current on the analogue inputs depends on the conversion rate of the device. During the sample period, the source must charge the internal sampling capacitor. After the capacitor has been fully charged, there is no further input current. The amount of charge transfer from the analogue source to the converter is a function of the conversion rate.
The ADC 12 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a frequency up to 100kHz in the Standard, up to 400kHz in the Fast, and up to 3.4MHz in the High-Speed mode. It also allows the choice of the last two least significant bits (LSB) A0 and A1 by positioning SMD jumpers labelled as ADDR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 0 and 1. This Click board™ also posses a jumper for selecting the reference voltage labelled as VREF SEL. The ADS7828 can operate with an internal 2.5V reference or an external reference (in this case logic voltage level VCC), which can be selected by positioning SMD jumpers to an appropriate position marked as INT and EXT.
The ADC 12 Click Board™ is designed to be operated with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels that can be selected via VCC SEL jumper. This allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the I2C communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy to use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Software Support
We provide a library for the ADC 12 Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library covers all the necessary functions to control the ADC 12 Click Board™. Users can set or read input mode or power-down mode, read raw ADC or voltage and send commands to input register or read the output.
Key Functions
void adc12_send_cmd ( uint8_t cmd_byte );
- Function is used to configure the device.uint16_t adc12_single_ended ( uint8_t chan, uint16_t v_ref );
- Function is used to get raw ADC value.uint16_t adc12_differential ( uint8_t chan, uint16_t v_ref );
- Function is used to get raw ADC value.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes I2C and LOG structures, and start to write log.
- Application Initialization - Initializes I2C driver and configures ADC 12 Click Board™, enables single-ended inputs, and turns on Internal Reference and ADC.
- Application Task - This is an example that shows the capabilities of the ADC 12 Click Board™ by reading raw value and voltage input on channel 0 and displaying data every second.
void application_task ( ) { mikrobus_logWrite( "Read Channel 0 raw", _LOG_LINE ); adc_r = adc12_single_ended ( ADC12_SNGL_END_CH0, ADC12_INT_V_REF_VAL ); WordToStr( adc_r, log_txt ); Ltrim( log_txt ); mikrobus_logWrite( "ADC raw: ", _LOG_TEXT ); mikrobus_logWrite( log_txt, _LOG_LINE ); mikrobus_logWrite( "", _LOG_LINE ); mikrobus_logWrite( "Read Channel 0 voltage", _LOG_LINE ); adc_v = adc12_single_ended_volt ( ADC12_SNGL_END_CH0, ADC12_INT_V_REF_VAL ); FloatToStr( adc_v, log_txt ); Ltrim( log_txt ); mikrobus_logWrite( "ADC raw: ", _LOG_TEXT ); mikrobus_logWrite( log_txt, _LOG_TEXT ); mikrobus_logWrite( "mV", _LOG_LINE ); mikrobus_logWrite( "------------------------", _LOG_LINE ); Delay_ms( 1000 ); }

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a 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. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
mikroSDK
The ADC 12 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.
