8.3 ADC ReadingThis demonstration illustrates steps which can be used to evaluate the performance of the 8-channel12-bit A/D Converter. The DC 3.3V on the 2x13 header is used to drive the analog signals and byusing a trimmer potentiometer, the voltage can be adjusted within the range of 0~3.3V. The 12-bitvoltage measurements are indicated on the 8 LEDs. Since there are only 8 LEDs, only bit-4 throughbit-11 from the ADC are represented on the LEDs.• Design ConceptThis section describes the design concepts for this demo. Figure 8-3 shows the block diagram.Figure 8-3 ADC Reading Block DiagramThe ADC Controller reads the voltage from the A/D converter through a serial interface anddisplays its measurement on the LEDs. The on-board dip-switch determines which channel to readfrom. Table 8-1 lists the DIP Switch settings and its corresponding ADC channel.131
