CCS/MSP430FR2111: Code porting ADC functionality from MSP430G2131 to MSP430FR2111

Part Number: MSP430FR2111
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8837EVM,

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am working with a motor driver evaluation module (DRV8837EVM) where I am replacing the existing MCU (G2131) with an FR2111.

The idea is to get everything functioning the way it was with the G2131 but with the FR2111.  

I already have everything set up hardware wise. I have identified the ADC channel as P1.1 on the FR2111. However, I need assistance when it comes to porting the code over in order to enable the ADC in the FR2111 to read the potentiometer thats included on the DRV8837EVM.

The current code for the ADC on the G2131 on the EVM is:

The code i currently have for the FR2111 is here:

How do I get the ADC initialized so that I can use the potentiometer with the FR2111?

  • Hi Blake,

    Looking over the schematic for the DRV8837EVM, it looks like the potentiometer is connected to the MSP430 VREF+ reference voltage output on one side, ground on the other, and the tap is going to the ADC input.  This is a nice setup in that the potentiometer should vary the ADC input across full range if the ADC is also referenced to VREF.  On the MSP430FR2111, the internal ADC VREF is 1.5V, and the external VREF is 1.2V, so you won't quite get full range.  

    Are you using a similar topology with your new hardware?  You can output the reference in a similar way with the MSP430FR2111, but there is some PMM configuration required.  The VREF+ output on the new MCU is on P1.7.  To output VREF+, you need to mux P1.7 for ADC functionality, and also enable the reference output in the PMM control registers.

    When you set up ADCMCTL0, you also want to set up the reference for the ADC.  If you want to use the internal reference, you'll have something like this:

    ADCMCTL0 |= ADCINCH_1 | ADCSREF_1;

    For the PMM reference generation, your setup would look like this:

        // Configure reference
        PMMCTL0_H = PMMPW_H;
        PMMCTL2 |= INTREFEN | EXTREFEN;
        __delay_cycles(400);                                      // Delay for reference settling

    I also assume that you want to run a timer-triggered, periodic ADC conversion.  Here is a good code example of this:
