AN704 Interfacing Microchip’s MCP3201 Analog/Digital (A/D) Converter to MC68HC11E9-Based Microcontroller Author: Richard L Fischer Microchip Technology Inc INTRODUCTION Many of the embedded control systems designed today require some flavor of Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter Embedded system applications such as Data Acquisition, Sensor Monitoring, and Instrumentation and Control all have varying A/D Converter requirements For the most part, these A/D Converter requirements are a combination of performance, cost, package size basis and availability In some applications a microcontroller with an on-chip A/D Converter may meet the design requirements Typically, these on-chip A/D Converter modules fit well into embedded applications which require a 10-35ksps A/D Converter In other applications, a stand-alone A/D Converter is required for various performance reasons For those applications which require higher performance or remote sense capability, the Microchip MCP3201 12-bit A/D Converter fits very nicely The Microchip Technology Inc MCP3201 employs a classic SAR architecture The device uses an internal sample and hold capacitor to store the analog input while the conversion is taking place Conversion rates of 100ksps are possible on the MCP3201 Minimum clock speed (10 kHz or 625sps, assuming 16 clocks) is a function of the capacitors used for the sample and hold The MCP3201 has a single pseudo-differential input The (IN–) input is limited to ±100mV This can be used to cancel small noise signals present on both the (IN+) and (IN–) inputs This provides a means of rejecting noise when the (IN–) input is used to sense a remote signal ground The (IN+) input can range from the (IN-) input to VREF The reference voltage for the MCP3201 is applied to VREF pin VREF determines the analog input voltage range and the LSB size, i.e.: As the reference input is reduced, the LSB size is reduced accordingly Communication with the MCP3201 is accomplished using a standard SPI™ compatible serial interface This interface allows direct connection to the serial ports of microcontrollers and digital signal processors The MCP3201 is suitable for use with a wide variety of microcontrollers from Microchip and others This application note describes how to interface the MCP3201 with a Motorola MC684C11 microcontroller Application Note, AN702 covers microcontrollers based on the Intel 8051 architecture Figure shows the hardware schematic for this interface Appendix A contains a listing of the source code CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The serial interface of the Microchip MCP3201 A/D Converter has three wires, a serial clock input (DCLK), the serial data output (DOUT) and the chip select input signal (CS/SHDN) For this simple circuit interface, the Motorola MC68HC11E9 SPI port is used PORTD: is configured for the serial clock and PORTD: is the data input to the microcontroller The SPI clock rate for this application is set at MHz The MC68HC11 is configured in the master mode with its CPOL and CPHA bits set to logic one (default setting on power-up) A conversion is initiated with the high to low transition of CS/SHDN (active low) The chip select is generated by PORTD: of the microcontroller The device will sample the analog input from the rising edge of the first clock after CS goes low for 1.5 clock cycles On the falling edge of the second clock, the device will output a low null bit With the next 12 clocks, the MCP3201 will output the result of the conversion with the MSB first (See Figure and Figure 3) Data is always output from the device on the falling edge of the clock If the device continues to receive clocks while CS/SHDN is low, the device will output the conversion LSB first If more clocks are provided to the device while CS/SHDN is still low (after the LSB first data has been transmitted), the device will clock out zeros indefinitely LSB size = VREF 212 SPI is a trademark of Motorola Inc 1999 Microchip Technology Inc DS00704B-page AN704 FIGURE 1: Hardware Schematic DS00704B-page 1999 Microchip Technology Inc AN704 CS/SHDN MCU latches data from A/D Converter on rising edges of DCLK DCLK 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Data is clocked out of A/D Converter on falling edges DOUT NULL BIT B11 B10 HI-Z B9 B8 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 HI-Z B1 LSB first data begins to come out MCU Received Data (After 16 clocks) FIGURE 2: ? ?

the IN+ and INinputs, it is ratioed to the VREF input for conversion scaling Digital output code = VIN x F.S VREF Where: VIN = analog input voltage V(IN+) - V(IN–) VREF = reference voltage F.S = full scale = 4096 VREF can be sourced directly from VDD or can be supplied by an external reference In either configuration, the VREF source must be evaluated for noise contributions during the conversion The voltage reference input of the MCP3201 ranges from 250mV to 5VDC, which approximately translates to a corresponding LSB size from 61µV to 1.22mV per bit 1.22mV = 5VDC 212 bits For this simple application, the MCP3201 voltage reference input is tied to 5VDC This translates to a 1.22mV/bit resolution for the A/D Converter module The voltage input to the MCP3201 is implemented with a multi-turn potentiometer The output voltage range of this passive driver is approximately 0VDC to 5VDC Finally, a simple RS-232 interface is implemented using the USART peripheral of the microcontroller and a MAX233 transceiver IC The USART transmits the captured A/D Converter binary value, both in ASCII and Decimal, to the PC terminal at 9600 baud As with all applications which require moderate to high performance A/D Converter operation, proper grounding and layout techniques are essential in achieving optimal performance Proper power supply decoupling and input signal and VREF parameters must be considered for noise contributions SOURCE CODE DESCRIPTION The code written for this simple application performs five main functions: Controller Initialization A/D Converter Conversion Conversion to ASCII Conversion to Decimal Transmit ASCII and Decimal to PC for display Upon power-up the microcontroller Port pins, USART peripheral and SSP module are initialized The default microcontroller SPI bus mode is 1,1 The bus mode can be changed on power-up via SW1 If SW1 is depressed on power-up then PORTC: is pulled low The initialization code checks this pin state and if a logic low SPI bus mode 0,0 is selected Likewise if PORTC: is a logic high, (SW1 is not depressed), then mode 1,1 is the operational bus state Once the initialization code is executed, the main code loop is entered and executed continuously After asserting PORTD: the SPDR register is written to for initiating a SPI bus cycle When the SPI cycle is complete, (SPIF flag is set to logic 1), the received data is read from the SPDR register and written to the RAM variable RESULT_MSB The SPDR register is again written to, which initiates a SPI bus cycle, and the second 8-bits are received and written to the RAM variable RESULT_LSB Here the composite result, located in variables RESULT_MSB and RESULT_LSB is right adjusted one bit location The CS/SHDN is then negated and the MCP3201 enters into the shutdown mode Next the hex_to_ascii and hex_to_decimal routines are called and executed Then the display_conversion routine is executed which sends the data to the USART for transmission to the PC for display REFERENCES Williams, Jim, “Analog Circuit Design,” ButterworthHeinemann Baker, Bonnie, “Layout Tips for 12-bit A/D Converter Applications,” AN688, Microchip Technology Inc MCP3201

PICmicro® MCUs • • • • • • The PICmicro family meets the specifications contained in the Microchip Data Sheet Microchip believes that its family of PICmicro microcontrollers is one of the most secure products of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the PICmicro microcontroller in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in the data sheet The person doing so may be engaged in theft of intellectual property Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable” Code protection is constantly evolving We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our product If you have any further questions about this matter, please contact the local sales office nearest to you Information contained in this
