Experiment NO: 3
Title: Interfacing of LPC2148 for internal ADC on interrupt basis at regular interval
generated by timer.

Objectives: After performing this experiment, learners will be able to express the concept of
interfacing of ADC with LPC 2148 and apply the knowledge of same interfacing in a
particular embedded application.

Aim: To interface ADC with LPC 2148 and show the output on LCD on interrupt basis at
regular interval generated by timer.

Apparatus: : LPC2148 Evaluation Board, USB to Serial communication cable, Power

supply adaptor. Pc with Keil uVision4 and Flash Magic software
Theory:
The Analog-To-Digital Converter on some LPC2148 is 10-bit successive approximation
converter, with a conversion time of 2.44usec or just say 410 Kbps. The A/D converter has
either 4 or 8 multiplexed input depending on the variant.

The A/D Control Register establishes the configuration of the converter and controls
the start of conversion. The first step in configuring the converter is to set up the peripheral
clock. As with all other peripherals, the A/D clock is derived from the PCLK. This PCLK
must be divided down to equal 4.5 MHz. This is a maximum value and if PCLK cannot be
divided down to equal 4.5 MHz. This is maximum value and if PCLK cannot be divided
down to equal 4.5MHz then the nearest value below 4.5MHz which can be achieved should
be selected

AD Control Register:- It determines the conversion mode, Channel & Resolution.

AD Data Register: This Contains Conversion done flag and Overrun Error

Features
• 10 bit successive approximation analog to digital converter.
• Measurement range of 0 V to VREF (2.0 V ≤ VREF ≤ VDDA).
• Each converter capable of performing more than 400,000 10-bit samples per second.
• Every analog input has a dedicated result register to reduce interrupt overhead.
• Burst conversion mode for single or multiple inputs.
• Optional conversion on transition on input pin or timer match signal.
• Global Start command for both converters (LPC2142/44/46/48 only).

INTERFACING ADC –LPC2148:

Adjustable potentiometer RPOT1 is connected to analog channel P0.6 (AD1.0 — ADC 1, input 0.
Available in LPC2144/46/48 only.). JP13 jumper is used to enable the potmeter input. VR1 setting
provides input voltages between 0V and 3V3
to the ADC

Output: After varying the potentiometer available on board, we can observe its equivalent
value after application of interrupt at regular interval.

Conclusion: Hence we can conclude that, with the help of ADC interfacing with LPC 2148
we can display the output on Hyper Terminal.
