Hardware Overview

How does it work?

ADC 22 Click is based on the ADS8665, a 12-bit high-speed single-supply SAR ADC data acquisition system with programmable bipolar input ranges from Texas Instruments. This ADC operates on a single 5V supply used from the mikroBUS™ power rail and supports true bipolar input ranges of ±12.288V, ±6.144V, ±10.24V, ±5.12V, and ±2.56V, as well as unipolar input ranges of 0 to 12.288V, or 10.24V, 6.144V, and 5.12V. The gain and offset errors are accurately trimmed within specified values to ensure a high DC precision for each input range. The input range selection is made by software. The ADC features an overvoltage protection circuit of up to ±20V and an on-chip 4.096V reference with extremely low-temperature drift. In addition, ADC 22 Click is equipped with an external voltage reference REF header, which allows you to apply voltages to

ADS8665 ADC from 4.046 up to 4.146V. You can separate the grounds for external voltage reference usage by desoldering the NET TIE R2 resistor. The ADC 22 Click features alarm functions that consist of an input alarm and an AVDD supply alarm. The alarm function should be enabled over the software, thus enabling both alarm functions by default. You can later separately disable one of them. Another neat feature of this Click board™ is the RVS multi-function output pin, which, regarding the CS pin status, can reflect the status of the internal ADCST signal or the status of the RVS depending on the output protocol selection. The device allows the output clock on the RVS pin to be synchronous to either the external clock provided on the SCLK pin or to the device's internal clock. In all SRC modes of operation, the RVS pin provides the output clock, synchronous to

the device data output. The RVS pin can be monitored for timing benefits. ADC 22 Click uses a standard 4-Wire SPI serial interface to communicate with the host MCU supporting high serial clock frequency. It also supports an enhanced SPI interface (multiSPI) that maximizes the sampling rate even with lower-speed host controllers. The alarm interrupt is available on the INT pin, and you can reset the device over the RST pin. The RVS pin is a multi-function pin for the serial interface. 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. Also, this 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.

Application Output via Debug Mode

1. Once the code example is loaded, pressing the "DEBUG" button initiates the build process, programs it on the created setup, and enters Debug mode.

2. After the programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions within the IDE becomes visible. Clicking the green "PLAY" button starts reading the results achieved with the Click board™. The achieved results are displayed in the Application Output tab.

 *
 * # Description
 * This example demonstrates the use of the ADC 22 Click board™ 
 * by reading and writing data by using SPI serial interface and reading results of AD conversion.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 *
 * ## Application Init
 * Initialization of SPI module and log UART.
 * After driver initialization, the app executes a default configuration.
 *
 * ## Application Task
 * The demo application reads the voltage levels from analog input and displays the results.
 * By default, the operating input range sets from 0V to 12.288V [3×Vref;Vref=4.096V].
 * Results are being sent to the UART Terminal, where you can track their changes.
