8.3.1 ADC10 to ADC

Compared to ADC10 in F2xx, the ADC module in the FR4xx has been redesigned for lower power and also includes some new features. Some of the significant differences are:

  • The ADC module in FR4xx devices supports both 10-bit ADC and 12-bit ADC configurations.
  • The ADC10 internal reference is no longer a part of the ADC module in FR4xx. The VREF generation block is in the PMM module (see Section 7.1.3).
  • If the reference buffer is used for the ADC reference voltage, and the conversion rate is below 50 kbps, setting ADCSR = 1 reduces the current consumption of the buffer approximately 50%.
  • The data transfer controller (DTC) is used for automatic storage of conversion results in the F2xx family. In the FR4xx family, the DTC is not supported.
  • In FR4xx, up to 10 input channels are available externally and 2 channels are available internally. The 1.2-V VREF can be output to a device-specific external channel. The on-chip temperature sensor can be internally connected to channel A12. The 1.5-V VREF can be internally connected to channel A13. For detailed connection, see the 10-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) section in the device-specific data sheet.
  • In FR4xx, a new added window comparator block allows the ADC module to monitor analog signals without CPU interaction. The window comparator can generate interrupts when specific thresholds have been reached.
  • The interrupt vector register ADCIV has six interrupt flag sources including three from the window comparator function.
  • Increased options for the ADC clock dividers and controlling the sampling rate in FR4xx.
  • ADC10OSC is renamed to MODOSC in the FR4xx family.
  • In the MSP430FR413x and MSP430FR203x devices, the ADC pin selection is set in the SYSCFG2 register. For other FR2xx devices, ADC pin selection is set in the PxSEL0 and PxSEL1 registers.
  • Because there is only one pair of power supply pins (DVCC and DVSS) in FR4xx devices, to achieve good ADC performance, board design should avoid system noise:
    • Place the decoupling capacitors as close as possible to DVCC.
    • Select the reference voltage carefully.
    • Do not route high-frequency toggled digital signals close to power lines or ADC input signals.
    • Do not toggle I/O pins while the ADC is working.
    • Find more design guidance for the ADC on www.ti.com.

Some register names have been changed to include the added functionality. For more information when porting firmware, see the MSP430FR4xx and MSP430FR2xx family user's guide.
