AD7190 - Microcontroller No-OS Driver

Supported Devices

Evaluation Boards

Overview

The AD7190, AD7192 and AD7195 are low noise, complete analog front ends for high precision measurement applications. Devices contain a low noise, 24-bit sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The on-chip low noise gain stage means that signals of small amplitude can be interfaced directly to the ADC. The AD7195 contains ac excitation, which is used to remove dc-induced offsets from bridge sensors.

Devices can be configured to have two differential inputs or four pseudo differential inputs. The on-chip channel sequencer allows several channels to be enabled, and the AD7190, AD7192 and AD7195 sequentially convert on each enabled channel. This simplifies communication with the parts. The on-chip 4.92 MHz clock can be used as the clock source to the ADC or, alternatively, an external clock or crystal can be used. The output data rate from the parts can be varied from 4.7 Hz to 4.8 kHz.

The goal of this project (Microcontroller No-OS) is to be able to provide reference projects for lower end processors, which can't run Linux, or aren't running a specific operating system, to help those customers using microcontrollers with ADI parts. Here you can find a generic driver which can be used as a base for any microcontroller platform and also specific drivers for Renesas platforms.

Driver Description

The driver contains two parts:

  • The driver for the AD7190 part, which may be used, without modifications, with any microcontroller.
  • The Communication Driver, where the specific communication functions for the desired type of processor and communication protocol have to be implemented. This driver implements the communication with the device and hides the actual details of the communication protocol to the ADI driver.

The Communication Driver has a standard interface, so the AD7190 driver can be used exactly as it is provided.

There are three functions which are called by the AD7190 driver:

  • SPI_Init() – initializes the communication peripheral.
  • SPI_Write() – writes data to the device.
  • SPI_Read() – reads data from the device.

SPI driver architecture

The following functions are implemented in this version of AD7190 driver:

Function Description
void AD7190_SetRegisterValue(unsigned char registerAddress, unsigned long registerValue, unsigned char bytesNumber, unsigned char modifyCS) Writes data into a register.
unsigned long AD7190_GetRegisterValue(unsigned char registerAddress, unsigned char bytesNumber, unsigned char modifyCS) Reads the value of a register.
unsigned char AD7190_Init(void) Initializes the SPI peripheral and checks if the AD7190 part is present.
void AD7190_Reset(void) Resets the device.
void AD7190_SetPower(unsigned char pwrMode) Set device to idle or power-down.
void AD7190_WaitRdyGoLow(void) Waits for RDY pin to go low.
void AD7190_ChannelSelect(unsigned short channel) Selects the channel to be enabled.
void AD7190_Calibrate(unsigned char mode, unsigned char channel) Performs the given calibration to the specified channel.
void AD7190_RangeSetup(unsigned char polarity, unsigned char range) Selects the polarity of the conversion and the ADC input range.
unsigned long AD7190_SingleConversion(void) Returns the result of a single conversion.
unsigned long AD7190_ContinuousReadAvg(unsigned char sampleNumber) Returns the average of several conversion results.
unsigned long AD7190_TemperatureRead(void) Read data from temperature sensor and converts it to Celsius degrees.

  • configures the AD7190 part;
  • reads data from single conversion;
  • reads data from multiple conversions, calculates the average value and displays it;
  • reads data from the temperature sensor and displays it in degrees Celsius.

Software Project Setup

This section presents the steps for developing a software application that will run on the Renesas Demo Kit for RX62N for controlling and monitoring the operation of the ADI part.

  • Run the High-performance Embedded Workshop integrated development environment.
  • A window will appear asking to create or open project workspace. Choose “Create a new project workspace” option and press OK.
  • From “Project Types” option select “Application”, name the Workspace and the Project “ADIEvalBoard”, select the “RX” CPU family and “Renesas RX Standard” tool chain. Press OK.

  • A few windows will appear asking to configure the project:
    • In the “Select Target CPU” window, select “RX600” CPU series, “RX62N” CPU Type and press Next.
    • In the “Option Setting” windows keep default settings and press Next.
    • In the “Setting the Content of Files to be generated” window select “None” for the “Generate main() Function” option and press Next.
    • In the “Setting the Standard Library” window press “Disable all” and then Next.
    • In the “Setting the Stack Area” window check the “Use User Stack” option and press Next.
    • In the “Setting the Vector” window keep default settings and press Next.
    • In the “Setting the Target System for Debugging” window choose “RX600 Segger J-Link” target and press Next.
    • In the “Setting the Debugger Options” and “Changing the Files Name to be created” windows keep default settings, press Next and Finish.
  • The workspace is created.

  • The RPDL (Renesas Peripheral Driver Library) has to integrated in the project. Unzip the RPDL files (double-click on the file “RPDL_RX62N.exe”). Navigate to where the RPDL files were unpacked and double-click on the “Copy_RPDL_RX62N.bat” to start the copy process. Choose the LQFP package, type the full path where the project was created and after the files were copied, press any key to close the window.
  • The new source files have to be included in the project. Use the key sequence Alt, P, A to open the “Add files to project ‘ADIEvalBoard’” window. Double click on the RPDL folder. From the “Files of type” drop-down list, select “C source file (*.C)”. Select all of the files and press Add.

  • To avoid conflicts with standard project files remove the files “intprg.c” and “vecttbl.c” which are included in the project. Use the key sequence Alt, P, R to open the “Remove Project Files” window. Select the files, click on Remove and press OK.

  • Next the new directory has to be included in the project. Use the key sequence Alt, B, R to open the “RX Standard Toolchain” window. Select the C/C++ tab, select “Show entries for: Include file directories” and press Add. Select “Relative to: Project directory”, type “RPDL” as sub-directory and press OK.

  • The library file path has to be added in the project. Select the Link/Library tab, select “Show entries for: Library files” and press Add. Select “Relative to: Project directory”, type “RPDL\RX62N_library” as file path and press OK.

  • Because the “intprg.c” file was removed the “PIntPrg” specified in option “start” has to be removed. Change “Category” to “Section”. Press “Edit”, select “PIntPRG” and press “Remove”. From this window the address of each section can be also modified. After all the changes are made press OK two times.

  • At this point the files extracted from the zip file located in the “Software Tools” section have to be added into the project. Copy all the files from the archive into the project folder.

  • Now, the files have to be included in the project. Use the key sequence Alt, P, A to open the “Add files to project ‘ADIEvalBoard’” window. Navigate into ADI folder. From the “Files of type” drop-down list, select “Project Files”. Select all the copied files and press Add.

  • Now, the project is ready to be built. Press F7. The message after the Build Process is finished has to be “0 Errors, 0 Warnings”. To run the program on the board, you have to download the firmware into the microprocessor’s memory.
