Silicon Labs C8051F310/311 A/D Example Program

This example program shows how to configure and use the 8-bit A/D Converter of the following microcontrollers:

• Silicon Labs C8051F310
• Silicon Labs C8051F311

After configuring the A/D Converter, the program reads A/D channel 0 and outputs the converted value using the serial port.

To run this program...

1. Select the device from the pull-down target list
2. Build the project (Project - Build Target)
3. Start the uVision Debugger
4. Open the Serial Window (View - Serial Window 1)
5. Open the Toolbox (View - Toolbox)
6. Click Go or Run (F5)
7. Click on the Toolbox buttons to change input voltages

A debug script (debug.ini) creates buttons that set different analog values in A/D channels. As the program runs, you will see the A/D input and output change.

Other buttons create signals that generate sine wave or sawtooth patterns as analog inputs. µVision3 users may enable the built-in Logic Analyzer to view, measure and compare these input signals graphically.
