5 DISCUSSION
a. An ADC module inside PIC Microcontroller is used to convert analog signal from
LM35 temperature sensor. The sensitivity of LM35 is 10mV/℃. The ADC module is used
with the following setting:
Resolution = 10 bits
Vref (+) = 5V
Vref (-) = 0V.

Calculate the digital output, if the temperature sensor reading value is 88℃

𝑉 𝑖𝑛
𝐷 𝑜𝑢𝑡 =
𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑝 𝑠𝑖𝑧𝑒

V in = 10mV x 88℃ = 0.88V

5
Step size = 10−1 = 4.89mV
2
𝑉 𝑖𝑛 0.88
D out = = = 179.96 @ 180 (decimal) – 10110100 (binary)
𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑝 𝑠𝑖𝑧𝑒 4.89𝑚

b) Find a value of ADCON0, ADCON1 and ADCON2 to configure the ADC module in
PIC18F4550 microcontroller if thespecifications of ADC as below:

ADC configuration:
• Vref- =Vss
• Vref+ = Vdd
• Analog Channel =AN2
• A/D Result Format in LeftJustified
• Conversion Time = 12TAD
• A/D Conversion Clock =FOSC/16

ADCON0 = 0B00001001
ADCON1 = 0B00001101
ADCON2 = 0B00101101

6 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I learned in this practical work how to interface the 2X16 character LCD to
the PIC18F4550 microcontroller. Next, I learned in this practical work how to write the C
program for PIC microcontroller to read analog input and display the value using LCD
display. After that, I learned in this practical work how to set up cursor position is an
important part of LCD which defines at which index (column and row) to display text.
Lastly, I learned in this practical work how to understand LCD user defined function and
write program to read analog signal from a temperature sensor (LM35) to digital, then
display the digital value and temperature on LCD.
