ADC12 Sampling Multiple Input
Till now, we have seen only one ADC channel in action. We have seen examples of single internal and external channels only. However, in real-life and in many occasions, we may need the use of more than one ADC channel. For example, we will need multiple ADC channels when crafting an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). In an UPS, we will be needing to measure battery voltage, battery charging and discharging current, AC output voltage and current, internal temperature and so on. In such cases, multiple ADC channels are musts. This example demonstrates how to use multiple ADC channels of a MSP430F5529 microcontroller.

Hardware Setup

Explanation
ADC12’s settings have two sections. One is common and the other is channel dependent.
Common settings include ADC’s clock setup, resolution and sample-hold timer settings. These will be applicable for all channels.
ADC12_A_init(ADC12_A_BASE, ADC12_A_SAMPLEHOLDSOURCE_SC, ADC12_A_CLOCKSOURCE_ACLK, ADC12_A_CLOCKDIVIDER_1); ADC12_A_setupSamplingTimer(ADC12_A_BASE, ADC12_A_CYCLEHOLD_256_CYCLES, ADC12_A_CYCLEHOLD_4_CYCLES, ADC12_A_MULTIPLESAMPLESENABLE); ADC12_A_setResolution(ADC12_A_BASE, ADC12_A_RESOLUTION_12BIT);
Channel parameters define ADC memory location, references and sequence info. Additionally, if interrupts are used, they need to applied separately.
CH0_configureMemoryParam.memoryBufferControlIndex = ADC12_A_MEMORY_0; CH0_configureMemoryParam.inputSourceSelect = ADC12_A_INPUT_A0; CH0_configureMemoryParam.positiveRefVoltageSourceSelect = ADC12_A_VREFPOS_AVCC; CH0_configureMemoryParam.negativeRefVoltageSourceSelect = ADC12_A_VREFNEG_AVSS; CH0_configureMemoryParam.endOfSequence = ADC12_A_NOTENDOFSEQUENCE; CH1_configureMemoryParam.memoryBufferControlIndex = ADC12_A_MEMORY_1; CH1_configureMemoryParam.inputSourceSelect = ADC12_A_INPUT_A1; CH1_configureMemoryParam.positiveRefVoltageSourceSelect = ADC12_A_VREFPOS_AVCC; CH1_configureMemoryParam.negativeRefVoltageSourceSelect = ADC12_A_VREFNEG_AVSS; CH1_configureMemoryParam.endOfSequence = ADC12_A_ENDOFSEQUENCE; .... ADC12_A_clearInterrupt(ADC12_A_BASE, ADC12IFG0); ADC12_A_enableInterrupt(ADC12_A_BASE, ADC12IE0); ADC12_A_configureMemory(ADC12_A_BASE, &CH0_configureMemoryParam); ADC12_A_clearInterrupt(ADC12_A_BASE, ADC12IFG1); ADC12_A_enableInterrupt(ADC12_A_BASE, ADC12IE1); ADC12_A_configureMemory(ADC12_A_BASE, &CH1_configureMemoryParam);
At this point, I would like to highlight the concept of sequence. When multiple ADC channels are used, ADC conversions are done sequentially, i.e. one after another. In our code, we have to specify one channel as the end of sequence while denoting other channels as no end of sequence. In this way, channels are systematically queued.
ADC reading process is same as the one we saw in the ADC interrupt example. The only exception is the usage of two vectors as two channels are in different memory planes.
#pragma vector = ADC12_VECTOR __interrupt void ADC12ISR (void) { switch (__even_in_range(ADC12IV, 34)) { case 0: break; //Vector 0: No interrupt case 2: break; //Vector 2: ADC overflow case 4: break; //Vector 4: ADC timing overflow case 6: break; { res[0] = ADC12_A_getResults(ADC12_A_BASE, ADC12_A_MEMORY_0); break; } //Vector 6: ADC12IFG0 case 8: { res[1] = ADC12_A_getResults(ADC12_A_BASE, ADC12_A_MEMORY_1); break; } //Vector 8: ADC12IFG1 case 10: break; //Vector 10: ADC12IFG2 case 12: break; //Vector 12: ADC12IFG3 case 14: break; //Vector 14: ADC12IFG4 case 16: break; //Vector 16: ADC12IFG5 case 18: break; //Vector 18: ADC12IFG6 case 20: break; //Vector 20: ADC12IFG7 case 22: break; //Vector 22: ADC12IFG8 case 24: break; //Vector 24: ADC12IFG9 case 26: break; //Vector 26: ADC12IFG10 case 28: break; //Vector 28: ADC12IFG11 case 30: break; //Vector 30: ADC12IFG12 case 32: break; //Vector 32: ADC12IFG13 case 34: break; //Vector 34: ADC12IFG14 default: break; } }

I am surprised and happy to find this tutorial on the F5529 as TI makes a lot of different devices.
Thank you very much for putting in the extra knowledge in each segment, made reading worthwhile.
Good Work!
lovely tutorial but to be honest I don’t think I’d be investing my time on this board to start with it’s not cheap and readily available as the stm32 boards can you please do more tutorials on stm32 board’s and the stc micros thanks
Hello, I try to program MSP430FR6047 but i get error “the debug interface to the device has been secured”. when flashing using uniflash and when program using CCS this happen. can you help me to solve this problem
You can try “On connect, erase user code and unlock the device” option.

Hello
I am doing project of msp430g2553 interface(using i2c communication) with temp 100(temperature sensor) and try to read the temperature in dispaly(16*2) but didn’t get the out put (using code composer studio) can u share me any example code for this project
Thank you sir,
Which sensor? Did you use pullup resistors for SDA-SCL pins?
Where is lcd_print.h?

You want the truth? TI makes and sell “underpowered micros”, you know? Low everything, not only the power but also peripherals. So the price is not justified.
Otherwise, if I’ll move there, I’ll introduce them to my small hobby projects – there are still some advantages.
I may even make a visual configuration tool of my own for them…
Yeah the prices of TI products are higher than other manufacturers but I don’t think the hardware peripherals are inferior.
Not inferior but in not enough numbers compared to STM32.
