Hardware Overview
How does it work?
ISO ADC 5 Click is based on the MAX22530, a 12-bit, 4-channel ADC with a 5kVRMS isolated SPI interface from Analog Devices. The ADC and all field-side circuits are powered by an integrated, isolated DC-DC converter that can verify field-side functionality even when there is no input signal or other field-side supply. It continually digitizes the input voltage on the field side of an isolation barrier and transmits the data across the isolation barrier to the logic side of the devices, where the magnitude of the input voltage is compared to programmable thresholds. The MAX22530 ADC employs a 12-bit SAR architecture with a nominal sampling rate of 20ksps per channel and has an
input voltage of up to 1.8V. Placed voltage dividers make the proper ADC input voltage on the analog input channels, which, based on the input in the range from 0 to 48V, gives the required input to the ADC in its range from 0 to 1.8V. After Power-Up, the ADC runs continually at the nominal sampling rate. The MAX22530 also features a precision internal voltage reference of 1.8V with a maximum error of ±2% over the entire operating temperature range. The MAX22530 communicates with MCU using the standard SPI serial interface with a maximum frequency 10MHz. Besides, it continuously monitors multiple possible fault conditions such as ADC functionality error, SPI framing
error, CRC errors from SPI communications, and internal isolated data stream loss. This hardware alert feature is provided through the interrupt pin, routed on the CS pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, which asserts low when an enabled fault is detected. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can 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.
Features overview
Development board
Fusion for ARM v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different ARM® Cortex®-M based MCUs regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over WiFi. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, Fusion for ARM v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under any
circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for ARM v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.
Communication options such as USB-UART, USB HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. Fusion for ARM v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

* @brief ISOADC5 Click example
*
* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of ISO ADC 5 click board.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and makes an initial log.
*
* ## Application Task
* Reads the voltage from all input channels and displays the values of
* each channel on the USB UART approximately every second.
*
* @note
* The voltage input range is from 0 to 48V.
