mikroSDK-Compliant Library for Easy Software Development
The ADC 21 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK-compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This means you can get up and running quickly without the need for complex programming.
Fully Tested and Ready to Use
At Click Board™, we understand the importance of delivering reliable products. That's why the ADC 21 Click Board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready for use on any system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket. You can trust that you're getting a high-quality product that will deliver accurate and reliable performance for all your analogue to digital conversion needs.
How Does The ADC 21 Click Board™ Work?
The ADC 21 Click Board™ is based on the ADC1283, a high-performance eight-channel analogue-to-digital converter from STMicroelectronics. The ADC1283 implements a successive approximation register (SAR) structure to convert analogue signals into 12-bit pure binary digital outputs. The conversion circuit includes a fast settling time comparator to convey instruction into the register to store digital 0 or 1 and a redistribution DAC with logic control to have the ADC compare the track signal with a reference signal at each clock cycle.
The ADC 21 Click Board™ communicates with MCU through a standard SPI interface and operates at clock rates up to 3.2MHz, for all configurations and acquiring conversion results. The AD conversion is carried out in two phases. The sampling phase conveys the input signal through the capacitance array for the first three clock cycles. Then, the evaluation phase converts into a digital 12-bit signal within 13 clock cycles. At each clock cycle of the evaluation phase, the hold signal is compared with a new value distributed by the DAC, and the result is stored in the 12-bit register, with MSB first. A complete conversion requires 16 clock cycles to generate a new 12-bit word on the SDO pin on the mikroBUS™ socket.
This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 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. Additionally, there is a possibility for the ADC1283 analogue power supply selection via jumper labelled AVCC SEL to supply the ADC1283 from an external power supply in the range from 2.7V to 5.5V or with mikroBUS™ power rails. However, the ADC 21 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.
