Successive approximation ADC interface


The Model ALS-NIFC-07 which on approximating successfully ADC is clearly described in this topic. It consists of a programmable timer interface which connects to the kit of ALS-SDA-85M by using a flat cable of 26 crores. The connector C1 gets connected to the interface by the Input Output connector P3 in the kit for the ALS, which is implemented on a flat cable. The power supply of +12V, -12V, +5V, and GND gets connected to the interface. The circuit description is shown below –

C1 is connected to connector P3 (or P4) on ALS kit, for ADC interface purpose

C2 is connected to connector P2 on ALS kit, for timer interface

If we consider ADC 0809, then it is an 8-bit ADC. The interface uses a crystal oscillator, which provides 768 kHz as the clock input to the ADC 0809. The conversion takes 64 clocks (about 100 μs). ADC 0809 has eight analog inputs (I7-0). One of them is selected by S2, S1, S0 inputs, which are driven by PB2, PB1, and PB0 of 8255.

The address on S2, S1, S0 gets latched by ADC 0809 when the input ALE becomes 1. If a ‘0’ is sent out on PB5 of 8255 the input ALE of ADC 0809 turns to 1.

To start the conversion, SOC (start of conversion) should become a 1. This is achieved by sending a 0 on PB6. Then the EOC (end of conversion) output of the ADC becomes a 1. After the conversion is over, EOC output is made 0 by the ADC. So, after the SOC signal is provided, we have to wait for at least 100 μs, for the conversion to be over.

Then the digital output D7-0, corresponding to the selected Analog input, comes out on the ADC output pins if the OE (output enable) input of the ADC is at logic 1. The OE input of ADC becomes logic 1, if logic 0 is sent out on PB7. Then 8085 reads this digital value from Port A and displays it in the data field of the 8085 kit. When using this interface, it is required to configure the 8255 ports on the kit as follows.

PC in not used by the successive approximation ADC interface. Port addresses for 8255 connected to connector P3 are as follows.

Port A: D8H Port B: D9H Port C: DAH Control: DBH

It is possible to connect the second 8255 on the ALS kit to the ADC interface. For this purpose, I/O connector P4 on the ALS kit is connected to the interface, using the 26-core flat cable. Port addresses for the second 8255 on the ALS kit are:

Port A: F0H Port B: F1H Port C: F2H Control: F3H
