ADC is not working properly.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C123GH6PM

Hi

everyone,

I have given a proper sine signal with 100 mv amp,25hz freq+200mv offset to 4 channels of tm4c123gh6pm adc.i am using the same input for 4 channels for experimental purpose..The samples are not coming in a particular order,here i have uploaded my  code and the graph of the data i am getting from one channel.Please have a look.

//! This example shows how to setup ADC0 as a single ended input and take a
//! single sample on AIN0/PE7.
//!
//! This example uses the following peripherals and I/O signals.  You must
//! review these and change as needed for your own board:
//! - ADC0 peripheral
//! - GPIO Port E peripheral (for AIN0 pin)
//! - AIN0 - PE7
//!
//! The following UART signals are configured only for displaying console
//! messages for this example.  These are not required for operation of the
//! ADC.
//! - UART0 peripheral
//! - GPIO Port A peripheral (for UART0 pins)
//! - UART0RX - PA0
//! - UART0TX - PA1
//!
//! This example uses the following interrupt handlers.  To use this example
//! in your own application you must add these interrupt handlers to your
//! vector table.
//! - None.

This no way looks like a sine what i am giving as input.I dnt understand where i am doing wrong.As per my calculation my adc is working with 500sps for each channel as after 1 ms i am switching the channel and there are 4 channels in total i am using.Why i am not getting a proper data.please help me with this.

Thanks

Arun

  • Hi,

    It can't occur to me anytigh. ADC rogue values do happen from time to time due to alot of factors.

    Maybe you could use the ADC hardware average for like 4-8 values. Of course then the max sample rate would be 250k-125k per second
