Hardware Overview

How does it work?

AD-SWIO 3 Click is based on the AD74115H, a single-channel, software-configurable input and output with HART mode, and ADP1034, a 3-channel isolated micropower management unit with seven digital isolators and programmable power control both from Analog Devices. The AD74115H has a single-channel input and output, which can be configured as voltage input, current input, voltage output, current output, digital input, digital output, 2/3/4-wire RTD measurement, or thermocouple measurement input. It features a 16-bit, Σ-Δ analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a 14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), with a high accuracy 2.5V on-chip reference that can be used both for ADC and DAC. You can connect the desired load to terminals labeled I/OP and I/ON for analog output, analog input, and digital input functions. To apply a stimulus to the two auxiliary high-voltage sense pins, use I/O EXT1 and I/O

EXT2 terminals. The resistance measurements can be made between those four terminals, depending on the number of wires RTD. For instance, take 2-wire resistance measurements between the I/OP and I/ON terminals. The integrated HART modem can transmit and receive signals to and from the I/OP terminal. For more info, check the datasheet. Four LEDs (GPIOA, GPIOB, GPIOC, GPIOD) can be configured in several ways to represent digital input, digital output, external or internal conditions, and more. An onboard thermistor is connected to the AD74115H, which can measure the board's temperature. The ADP1034 provides power and isolation to the AD74115H. A flyback regulator supply voltage of 24V can be applied over the VINP terminal. You can control the flyback regulator slew rate over the SLEW jumper between the slowest and normal as default. You can also choose the highest by leaving the SLEW pin open. The

ZA9644-AED, a flyback transformer from Coilcraft, is used for flyback regulator operation. AD-SWIO 3 Click uses a standard 4-wire SPI serial interface of the AD74115H through the isolation that provides the ADP1034 to communicate with the host MCU. You can reset the AD74115H over the RST pin. When a new sequence of ADC conversion is ready to be read, the RDY will be asserted. Also, the alert ALR pin will be asserted when the alert condition is met. All those lines pass through an isolation barrier of the ADP1034 on its way to the host MCU. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used for further development.

Accessories

Click Shield for Nucleo-64 comes equipped with two proprietary mikroBUS™ sockets, allowing all the Click board™ devices to be interfaced with the STM32 Nucleo-64 board with no effort. This way, Mikroe allows its users to add any functionality from our ever-growing range of Click boards™, such as WiFi, GSM, GPS, Bluetooth, ZigBee, environmental sensors, LEDs, speech recognition, motor control, movement sensors, and many more. More than 1537 Click boards™, which can be stacked and integrated, are at your disposal. The STM32 Nucleo-64 boards are based on the microcontrollers in 64-pin packages, a 32-bit MCU with an ARM Cortex M4 processor operating at 84MHz, 512Kb Flash, and 96KB SRAM, divided into two regions where the top section represents the ST-Link/V2 debugger and programmer while the bottom section of the board is an actual development board. These boards are controlled and powered conveniently through a USB connection to program and efficiently debug the Nucleo-64 board out of the box, with an additional USB cable connected to the USB mini port on the board. Most of the STM32 microcontroller pins are brought to the IO pins on the left and right edge of the board, which are then connected to two existing mikroBUS™ sockets. This Click Shield also has several switches that perform functions such as selecting the logic levels of analog signals on mikroBUS™ sockets and selecting logic voltage levels of the mikroBUS™ sockets themselves. Besides, the user is offered the possibility of using any Click board™ with the help of existing bidirectional level-shifting voltage translators, regardless of whether the Click board™ operates at a 3.3V or 5V logic voltage level. Once you connect the STM32 Nucleo-64 board with our Click Shield for Nucleo-64, you can access hundreds of Click boards™, working with 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels.

 * @file main.c
 * @brief AD-SWIO 3 Click example
 *
 * # Description
 * This library contains API for the AD-SWIO 3 Click driver 
 * for measurements of the analog output, analog input, digital input, 
 * resistance temperature detector (RTD), and thermocouple measurements.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 *
 * ## Application Init
 * Initialization of SPI and log UART.
 * After driver initialization, the app executes a default configuration 
 * that enables and sets it to measure IOP/ION voltage input from 0V to 12V, 
 * with 4.8k SPS and enabled four diagnostics measurements (AVDD, VASS, VACC and LVIN).
 *
 * ## Application Task
 * This example demonstrates the use of the AD-SWIO 3 Click board. 
 * The demo application reads and displays the voltage level input, 
 * measured by the voltage between the I/OP and I/ON screw terminals 
 * and NTC thermistor temperature in degrees Celsius.
 * Results are being sent to the UART Terminal, where you can track their changes.
