Introduction
In AM263Px the DAC can be connected internally to the ADC CAL1 Channel.
This example demostrates the ADC-DAC loopback feature. Each ADC has two CAL channels viz. CAL Channel 0 and CAL Channel 1. these CAL channels are common to all the ADCs. While using the ADC-DAC loopback, the following needs to be taken care of,
- ADC cal channel should be of high impedence, i.e., no source driving it.
- DAC output should be driven only by DAC and there should not be any other source driving it.
- ADC sampling times must be increased in this mode. the example uses the 256 Sample and Hold window configuration.
- Sampling the DAC voltage with multiple ADCs at the same time will produce inconsistent results. Due to sampling kickback and charge injection. Hence, only one ADC may be used with the given CAL channel at any point of using the DAC-ADC loopback.
Configurations
- DAC is configured using syscfg
- ADC SOC0 is configured CAL Channel, with sample and hold window of 256 and generate interrupt at EOC0
External Connections
No external connections required
Watch Variables
The below watch variables can be used to view ADC conversion results.
- gAdcResults[] : Digital representation of the voltage sample on pin AIN2 of ADC0, triggered by RTI
- gDac_shadowValues[] : DAC digital values corresponding to the ADC conversions.
Supported Combinations
| Parameter | Value |
| CPU + OS | r5fss0-0 nortos |
| Toolchain | ti-arm-clang |
| Board | am263px-cc, am263px-lp |
| Example folder | examples/drivers/adc/adc_dac_loopback/ |
Steps to Run the Example
- When using CCS projects to build, import the CCS project for the required combination and build it using the CCS project menu (see Using SDK with CCS Projects).
- When using makefiles to build, note the required combination and build using make command (see Using SDK with Makefiles)
- Establish connections as mentioned in External Connections section
- Launch a CCS debug session and run the executable, see CCS Launch, Load and Run
- Using watch variables, view the ADC conversion results.
- View the ADC conversion results in UART console logs
