The AD7190 is a low noise, complete analog front end for high precision measurement applications. It contains a low noise, 24-bit sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The device 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 sequentially converts on each enabled channel. This simplifies communication with the part. The device has two digital filter options. The choice of filter affects the rms noise/noise-free resolution at the programmed output data rate, the settling time, and the 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection. For applications that require all conversions to be settled, the AD7190 includes a zero latency feature.
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.
HW Platform(s):
The driver contains two parts:
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 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. |
This section contains a description of the steps required to run the AD7190 demonstration project on a Renesas RL78G13 platform.
An EVAL-AD7190EBZ has to be interfaced with the Renesas Demonstration Kit (RDK) for RL78G13:
EVAL-AD7190EBZ J2 connector Pin CS → YRDKRL78G13 J11 connector Pin 1 EVAL-AD7190EBZ J2 connector Pin DIN → YRDKRL78G13 J11 connector Pin 2 EVAL-AD7190EBZ J2 connector Pin DOUT → YRDKRL78G13 J11 connector Pin 3 EVAL-AD7190EBZ J2 connector Pin SCLK → YRDKRL78G13 J11 connector Pin 4 EVAL-AD7190EBZ J2 connector Pin AGND → YRDKRL78G13 J11 connector Pin 5
With the Applilet3 for RL78G13 tool the following peripherals have to be configured:
Choose to generate the Transmit/receive function for the CSI10 and configure the interface with the following settings:
Configure TM00 as an interval timer:
Disable the watchdog timer:
The reference project:
This section presents the steps for developing a software application that will run on the Renesas Demo Kit for RL78G13 for controlling and monitoring the operation of the ADI part.
Two software applications have to be used: Applilet3 for RL78G13 (a tool that automatically generates device drivers for MCU peripheral functions) and IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RL78 (the integrated development environment).
