Chapter 11 Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ADC12V1)

11.1.2.3Hardware Trigger

The ADC may initiate a conversion via software or a hardware trigger. The RTC can be enabled as the hardware trigger for the ADC module by setting ADCSC2[ADTRG]. When enabled, the ADC is triggered each time RTCINT matches RTCMOD. The RTC interrupt does not have to be enabled to trigger the ADC.

The RTC can be configured to cause a hardware trigger in MCU run, wait, and stop3.

11.1.2.4Temperature Sensor

The ADC module includes a temperature sensor whose output is connected to one of the ADC analog channel inputs. Equation 11-1provides an approximate transfer function of the temperature sensor.

Temp = 25 V----------------------------------------------TEMPVTEMP25

Eqn. 11-1

m

 

where:

VTEMP is the voltage of the temperature sensor channel at the ambient temperature.

VTEMP25 is the voltage of the temperature sensor channel at 25°C.

m is the hot or cold voltage versus temperature slope in V/°C.

For temperature calculations, use the VTEMP25 and m values in the data sheet.

In application code, read the temperature sensor channel, calculate VTEMP, and compare it to VTEMP25. If VTEMP is greater than VTEMP25 the cold slope value is applied in Equation 11-1. If VTEMP is less than VTEMP25 the hot slope value is applied in Equation 11-1.

11.1.3Interrupt Vectors

The ADC module contains a single interrupt source. See Chapter 8, “Interrupt Controller (CF1_INTC),” for the ADC interrupt vector assignment.
