Hi,
I am wondering when I try to read 4.788V from multichannel ADCs. Only channel AN0 seems working, for others it displays -16.000. Why is this happening? Does the dspic require delay to read from other ADCs? or I missed to declare/ insert include files in the code? I tried to insert delay (50us) in reading from ADCs but the problem remains. Any ideas?
Regards

Here is the output in the hyper terminal:

OK I don't use that PIC but some comments
1) The PIC ADC returns bits NOT a floating voltage so this line
printf("%4.3f\r\n",voltage[value]);
doesn't make any sense to me.
2) -16.00 could be the float equal to the ADC being >VDD. Again the ADC is monopolar and should NEVER give a -ve value.
3) Your code seems really, really complicated.
IE.. for (value=0;value<sizeof(channel_1);value++)
Simply select an ADC pin, read it, display it, delay then select another pin..........
4) If you've got say 8 ADC pins make for(value=0;value<9;value++) is a LOT easier to read and understand, at least to this fossil.
5) ALWAYS add 'ERRORS' to the #USE RS232( ...options...) |

and, you have not got a line specifying the ADC value size to be returned.
#device ADC=12
Without this, the default is normally for the ADC value to be returned
left lustified, so when put into a signed int16, any value above half range
will give a -ve return. |

Hi,
I compiled the code with CCS C ver. 5.010 with a new dspic30F6014a chip using UART1 or UART2 and it works accordingly.
Below I attached code for getting delay of 1us using internal clock (7.37MHz x16) and read analog samples from multi-channel ADC. I verified with an oscilloscope and the pulses created are approximately 1us. However during the operation, the chip becomes warm. Is this normal? or is there any better examples to create the 1us delay?.
Can someone explain to me the relationship between ADC frequency & TAD particularly in my case which using internal clock. How to calculate the acquisition time and no. of samples for the 12 bits ADC for each channel? Is it possible to setting the ADC to read 1 sample per channel? Any examples that I can make as reference?
Regards

While I don't use that PIC, I offer some comments..
1) Yes, the PIC will get warm. If YOU did 117 million pushups in a second, you'd be warm too ! CMOS devices are very low poer 'at rest', it's during 'transitions' (0>1>0, 0>1,1>0) that they consume power. Power = heat.
2) I was curious about your program and I think you're trying to read several ultrasonic sensors with analog outputs ? IF so, post the make/model info.
3) You should have two tasks. 1 acquire the ADC readings, 2 - display them. You could be getting sensor glitches but without knowing what sensors you're using, it's hard to help.
4) analog can be tricky to get 'right', especially over 8 bits AND fast. You need proper PCB design (layout, caps, traces, filtering, etc.) as well as shielding from sensors to PCB. A STABLE PSU is required as well as a precision Vref. That way 1.2345 volts is ALWAYS 1.2345 and not 1.2346 or 1.2344.
5) You need to read the ADC section of the datasheet to understand the ADC. As well, check Microchip's website for 'apnotes'. They have dozens. read them all, especially the older ones so you can 'see' how it works.

Hi,
I need some help here. I'm trying to use the PLL clock multiplier settings for the attached program. I'm using 20MHz oscillator. Before this I was using #fuses HS,...#use delay (clock=20000000) statement and the ADC works as expected however I am not getting 1us pulse, the best I can get is 1.42us. I decided to tried the PLL options with #FUSES HS2_PLL4,...(20MHz/2 * 4=40MHz) #use delay (clock=20000000). Now i can get approximately 1.088us but the measurement data received from UART are unreadable characters. Please help.

You have two set_adc_ports, and setup_adc instructions. Only the last
will actually be respected. A second instruction overrides the first.
The first actually shows an important feature. The use of TAD_MUL.
This allows you to program the ADC to automatically perform the delay
before reading.
Now in fact on a DSPIC like this it is possible to scan a set of analog
inputs automatically, with programmed timings between
samples. However you are trying to exceed the capabilities of the PIC. The
maximum sample rate on this chip is 200K samples/second (5uSec), and
this only if you have the 'best' clock selected (to give Tad=334nSec). Using
the default internal clock will be just 666KHz typically, and with this a single
conversion will take 21uSec. Using your 20MHz Fosc, the fastest conversion
possible is 133KHz, so 7.5uSec per conversion. |

Hi,
Thank you for the explanation. But I still confusing on this matter and correct me if my understanding are wrong.
In my case if I want to use 40MHz obtained from (HS/2)*4 what is the minimum TAD here? is it 334nSec?
Another thing is, I could not correlate if I obtained the FOSC, TCY,actual TAD, and sampling time = 1TAD + 14 TAD, how to relate these values in setup_ADC options (CLK_DIV_? & TAD_MUL_?). Sorry again for lack of knowledge in programming.

No, You'd need to use a clock that is a multiple of 6MHz to get the fastest
conversion. The best you can get from 40MHz, is using a divisor of 7,
which will give a Tad of 350nSec and a conversion time of 5.25uSec.
190476 conversions per second. |

Hi,
Thanks for the knowledge Ttelmah. Now I can run the code smoothly. Here is the corrected hardware code.
| Code: |
#fuses NOWDT, NOPROTECT, PUT64, BORV27
#use delay (clock=58982400, xtal=7372800)
