MSP430FR5962: ADC Repeated Autoscan Issues

Alexander Lorenz

Part Number: MSP430FR5962

Hello all,

I'm trying to use the repeated autoscan mode on the MSP430FR5962. I'm having a few issues getting the feature working. After all of my attempts I have not been able to get the module to work correctly. Sometimes the repeated function will work and sometimes it will not. I have a feeling I'm not setting up my registers correctly.

Here's my current ADC setup code.

    //P1.2 - A2 - Pin 3
    P1SEL0 |= BIT2;
    P1SEL1 |= BIT2;

    //P1.3 - A3 - Pin 16
    P1SEL0 |= BIT3;
    P1SEL1 |= BIT3;

    // Configure ADC12
    ADC12CTL0 = ADC12SHT0_2 | ADC12ON | ADC12MSC;       //16 clock cycles sampling, ADC on, multiple sample.
    ADC12CTL1 = ADC12SHP | ADC12SSEL_3 | ADC12CONSEQ_3; //Pulse mode. ADCCLK = SMCLK. repeated autoscan.
    ADC12CTL2 = ADC12RES_0;         //8-bit conversion results
    ADC12CTL3 = ADC12CSTARTADD_2;

    // Configure ADC input channels
    ADC12MCTL1 = ADC12INCH_2 | ADC12VRSEL_0;   //A2 ADC input select; Vref=VCC=3.3V
    ADC12MCTL2 = ADC12INCH_3 | ADC12VRSEL_0 | ADC12EOS;   //A3 ADC input select; Vref=VCC; End-of-sequence

    ADC12CTL0 |= ADC12ENC | ADC12SC;

Here is my ADC ISR code:

#if defined(__TI_COMPILER_VERSION__) || defined(__IAR_SYSTEMS_ICC__)
#pragma vector = ADC12_B_VECTOR
__interrupt void ADC12_ISR(void)
#elif defined(__GNUC__)
void __attribute__ ((interrupt(ADC12_B_VECTOR))) ADC12_ISR (void)
#else
#error Compiler not supported!

        case ADC12IV__ADC12RDYIFG: break;   // Vector 76:  ADC12RDY
        default: break;
   }
}

var1 and var2 from the ISR are the values I'm trying to output. They either don't change during repeated autoscan or show completely random, changing values.

I've read the datasheet chapter on the ADC a few times over now and I can't seem to fix the issue.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

This starts with ADC12MCTL2, which is (also) the end of the sequence, so you'll just do that one (ADC12INCH_3) over and over. Try:

> ADC12CTL3 = ADC12CSTARTADD_1; // ADC12MCTL1, then 2

IFG1 applies to ADC12MCTL1, so you should fetch from ADC12MEM1. The two following lines should fetch from ADC12MEM2.

---------------

I don't see where you set any of the IE bits. For this code, you should enable ADC12IE1 and ADC12IE2. An alternative strategy is to enable only ADC12IE2 and fetch both MEM1 and MEM2 on IFG2.

---------------

Unsolicited: You're using ADC12SSEL=3=SMCLK, which doesn't run in the lower Low Power Modes (LPMs). I usually find MODOSC (ADC12SSEL=0) to be plenty fast, and it runs whenever I need it.
