Introduction
This example sets up ePWM0 to periodically trigger a set of conversions (SOC0,1) on ADC1 for conversion of inputs on ADC_AIN0, ADC_AIN1 in differential modes (ADC_AIN0 - ADC_AIN1) on SOC0 and (ADC_AIN1 - ADC_AIN0) on SOC1.
Note:
- In differential mode, the outputs are symmetric across "2112 or 0x840".
- if there is a +1v on differential input, expected output should be around 2752 or 0xAC0.
- if there is a -1v on differential input, expected output should be around 1472 or 0x5C0.
- Expect wrapping of output if the readings are above 3.2v
ADC1 Interrupt ISR is used to read results of ADC1 (i.e. digital representations of differential inputs on ADC_AIN0 - ADC_AIN1 and ADC_AIN1 - ADC_AIN0 )
The below watch variables can be used to view ADC conversion results.
Watch Variables
- gAdc1Result0 - Digital representation of the differential voltage on pins ADC1_AIN0 - ADC1_AIN1
- gAdc1result1 - Digital representation of the differential voltage on pins ADC1_AIN1 - ADC1_AIN0
The example does the below
- Configures SOC0,1 of ADC1, to be triggered by EPWM0.
- Configures ADC interrupt 0 to be generated at end of conversion of SOC1.
- ADC1 Interrupt ISR is used to read results of ADC1 from SOC0, SOC1.
External Connections
- ADC1_AIN0, ADC1_AIN1 pins should be connected to signals to be converted in differential mode.
AM263X-CC E2
When using AM263x-CC E2 with TMDSHSECDOCK (HSEC180 controlCARD Baseboard Docking Station)
- Feed analog inputs to
- ADC1_AIN0 - HSEC Pin 12
- ADC1_AIN1 - HSEC Pin 14
AM263X-CC E1
When using AM263x-CC E1 with TMDSHSECDOCK (HSEC180 controlCARD Baseboard Docking Station)
- Feed analog inputs to
- ADC1_AIN0 - HSEC Pin 18
- ADC1_AIN1 - HSEC Pin 20
AM263X-LP
When using LP
- Feed analog inputs (non-zero volatage) to Boosterpack header Pin 24,Pin 29.
