Two questions about 12F75 A/D converters
PostPosted: Tue Feb 25, 2003 10:57 pm     Reply with quote

<font face="Courier New" size=-1>I am having a problem with my 12F675 chips' A/D converters. I'm not trying to do anything particularly complicated, essentially just read in a value. I wrote some test code to make sure the A/D converter was working, which I include below:
<code><font color="#aa0000">
#include <12f675.h>
#use delay (clock = 20000000)
#define LED PIN_A2
void initialize ();
long volt_max;
main ()
{
�����initialize ();
����� while (true)
����� {
����� volt_max = read_adc ();
����� if (volt_max < 250) led_blink (1);
����� if ((volt_max >= 250) & (volt_max < 500)) led_blink (2);
����� if ((volt_max >= 500) & (volt_max < 750)) led_blink (3);
����� if (volt_max >= 750) led_blink (4);
����� delay_ms (2000);
����� }
}
void initialize ()
{
����� setup_adc (ADC_CLOCK_DIV_2);
����� setup_adc_ports (AN1_ANALOG);
����� set_adc_channel (1);
����� return;
}</font>
</code>
<i>Note: the led_blink(i) function simply blinks an LED i number of times, and I know for sure it works.</i>

First, I am not using a separate voltage reference, just Vdd. When I run this program, which should blink an LED a number of times directly dependent on the voltage on the A/D converter, it will only blink once for voltages of 1V to 4.9V, and then from 4.9V to 5V it blinks twice. For my code, if the LED blinks once, there should be a voltage of 0V to 1.25V on the A/D converter, but that is not the case. If it blinks twice, there should be a voltage of 1.25V to 2.5V on the A/D converter, which is also not happening. The most befuddling aspect of this problem is that if I change <font color="#aa0000"><code>volt_max</code></font> to an <font color="#aa0000"><code>int</code></font> instead of a <font color="#aa0000"><code>long</code></font>, and then adjust the test values in the code accordingly (i.e., 250-500-750 converts to 64-128-192), everything works fine. I thought maybe (a) the A/D converter is not doing full 10-bit conversion, or (b) the format of the output is not being set or read correctly by the C compiler, but it's probably something else. I have tried manually setting the ADFM bit to both states in the ADCON register after the A/D converter setup code, but neither way works. As such, I'm rather out of ideas.<br><br>
My second question is, if I am running the 12F675 off the internal crystal, can I use the option <font color="#aa0000"><code>setup_adc (ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL);</code></font>? The datasheet for the 12F675 gives the impression that the A/D converter has its own oscillator, but I have not been able to verify if both will work at the same time because I have been testing my chip with an external crystal to eliminate a possible source of error. When I build my final device, however, I will not have enough pins to use an external crystal.

Well, thanks a lot in advance to any help anyone can give.

Regards,
Chris</font>

<font face="Courier New" size=-1>:=I am having a problem with my 12F675 chips' A/D converters. I'm not trying to do anything particularly complicated, essentially just read in a value. I wrote some test code to make sure the A/D converter was working, which I include below:
:=
:=#include <12f675.h>

To get 10-bit A/D resolution, you need to insert the
following line, at this point:

#device adc = 10

:=#use delay (clock = 20000000)
:=#define LED PIN_A2
:=void initialize ();
:=long volt_max;
:=main ()
:={
:=�����initialize ();
:= ����� while (true)
:= ����� {
:= ����� volt_max = read_adc ();
:= ����� if (volt_max < 250) led_blink (1);

These tests should use the Logical AND operator,
which is "&&".

:= ����� if ((volt_max >= 250) & (volt_max < 500)) led_blink (2);
:= ����� if ((volt_max >= 500) & (volt_max < 750)) led_blink (3);
:= ����� if (volt_max >= 750) led_blink (4);
:= ����� delay_ms (2000);
:= ����� }
:=}
:=void initialize ()
:={

If you look at the 12F675 data sheet, in Table 7-1, it gives
the allowable A/D clock divisors for a 20 MHz crystal.
These divisors are 32, 64, or the internal A/D clock.
You shouldn't use a divisor of 2.
The data sheet can be downloaded here:

:=����� setup_adc (ADC_CLOCK_DIV_2);
:=����� setup_adc_ports (AN1_ANALOG);
:=����� set_adc_channel (1);
:=����� return;

Thanks a million. My code worked the first time I made the changes.

Regards,
Chris
