Transfer Function
Ratiometric?
Output voltage is a ratio
of supply voltage
 ADXL330 accelerometer
From ADXL330 datasheet
It means when supply voltage Vs is 3 V, if the acceleration
increase by 1 g, the output voltage will increase 330 mV (typical)
It means when supply voltage Vs is 3 V, if the acceleration is
0 g, the output voltage will be 1.5 V (typical)
Transfer function: Voltage (V) = 1.5 + (0.3 * acceleration (g) )

52.9ms to get a first valid output. You
have to wait another 47.9ms to get the
second one.

For the module we will use, the filter
capacitor is 0.1 uF. It means the

Analog to Digital Conversion
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
 ADC takes two inputs
 Voltage reference


Range of voltage that it can measure
It has a limited range
 Sensor signal
That’s why we need signal
conditioning to produce a
proper voltage output
 Resolution
 How many bits the ADC can output
 Sample Rate
 How many sample it can takes in one second
 For MSP430F1611, it is about 200 ksps
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
Voltage reference
 Input voltage compares to the voltage reference
 Ratio of (input voltage)/(voltage reference) determines the output number
 Two voltage references
 Positive voltage reference (Vref+)
 Negative voltage reference (Vref-)
• In this figure, Vref+ =
1.6V; Vref- = 0 V
[0,0.1) V -> 0000
[0.8,0.9) V -> 1000
[1.5,1.6) V -> 1111
• If we change the Vref+ =
3.2V; Vref- remains 0 V,
then
[0,0.2) V -> 0000
[1.6,1.8) V -> 1000
[3.0,3.2) V -> 1111
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
About Voltage Reference
 Voltage reference can by internal or external
 Many ADCs have internal voltage reference integrated
 Unstable Voltage reference will affect the accuracy of
the ADC
 Minimum, Maximum
 If input voltage > Vref+, always output 1111
 If input voltage < Vref-, always output 0000
 Voltage Reference cannot exceed power supply voltage
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
Resolution
 You heard 10-bit ADC, 12-bit ADC, 16-bit ADC
 What are they?
 Number of bits the ADC can output
• This is a 4-bit ADC
[0,0.1) V -> 0000
[0.1,0.2) V -> 0001
[0.2,0.3) V -> 0010
[1.5,1.6) V -> 1111
• If it is a 6-bit ADC
[0,0.025) V -> 000000
[0.025,0.05) V -> 000001
[0.05,0.075) V -> 000010
[1.575,1.6) V -> 111111
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
Detectable Voltage Change
 Voltage reference + Resolution
 Define the detectable voltage change
 Detectable voltage change = ((Vref+) – (Vref-))/(2^resolution)
 Examples
 Vref = 1.6V, Resolution = 4-bit
1.6/(2^4) = 0.1 V
 Vref = 3.2V, Resolution = 4-bit
3.2/(2^4) = 0.2 V
 Vref = 1.6V, Resolution = 6-bit
1.6/(2^6) = 0.025 V
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
Sample And Hold
 There is a sample-and-hold circuit before
A/D conversion
 Mostly integrated in the ADC chip
 When no conversion, switch S1 is open
 When a conversion start
 S1 closed
 Input signal charge C1
 S1 open, C1 holds the value of input signal
 A/D conversion
 Sample-and-hold time
 Time between S1 close and re-open
 If it is too short

C1 will not fully charged (error)
Network and Systems Laboratory

Real World Design
 In practical design, there are always errors
 Noises




Power supply noise
Digital circuit noise
RF noise
Devices noise
 Devices Tolerances
 5% resistor, 1% resistor
 10% capacitor
 etc.
 Temperature drift
 Devices characteristics change when temperature change
 Two very simple methods to deal with two very common
errors
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
First Type of Errors
 Noise
 Dynamic
 ADXL330 at 0 g (1.5V)



Sample at S1 -> ok
Sample at S2 -> it is 0.333 g
Sample at S3 -> it is -0.333 g

(S1 + S2 + S3)/3 = (1.5+1.6+1.4)/3 = 1.5

S2 S3
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
How Many Samples
 How many samples needed to average
 Depends on your requirement
 Suggestion: factor of 2 (2N)

Take 10 samples and average
Total += Si; //(i=1,…,10)
Result = Total/10;

Division => slow
Take 16 samples and average
Total += Si; //(i=1,…,16)
Result = (Total>>4);
Bit shift => fast
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
Cautions!
 Is the Total large enough to hold the summation
 Max possible Total = 4096*16 = 65536
 Total should be at least 16-bit unsigned int
 IMPORTANT!!
 int in IAR for MSP430 is 16-bit long
Total += Si; //(i=1,…,16)
Result = (Total>>4);
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
Second Type of Errors
 Offset
 Static
 For example: ADXL330


For A accelerometer, 0 g output maybe 1.5V
For B accelerometer, 0 g output maybe 1.54V
30% of ADXL330, 0 g
output is 1.53V
4% of ADXL330, 0 g
output is 1.5V
From ADXL330 datasheet
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
Calibration
 Maintain a calibration constant, adjust the offset error
 ADXL330 with calibration
 Transfer function: V = (1.5 + Ccal) + (0.3 * g)

Ccal is calibration constant
 For A accelerometer, 0 g output is 1.5V


Ccal = 0
If NADC = 2879, acceleration should be 0.859 g
 For B accelerometer, 0 g output is 1.54V


Ccal = 0.04
If NADC = 2879, acceleration should be ?? G
Network and Systems Laboratory
nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw
Calibration Reference
 Calibration needs a reference
 Precision of the reference decide the precision of the
calibration
 How do you calibrate the accelerometer ADXL330??

You must produce a precise 0 g (or 1 g) acceleration
Acceleration => voltage
To calibrate, you want
to know the voltage
output at 0 g. But how
to make 0 g?
 How do you calibrate a temperature sensor?
You must produce a precise temperature
Temperature => voltage
To calibrate, you want
to know the voltage
output at certain
temperature (25 oC).

UART
 UART: Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter
 Two wires: Rx, Tx
 Full duplex
 Asynchronous

No common clock required
 Without common clock

UART Data
 Send one byte at a time
 Data
 One start bit

This bit became parity bit
when parity checking is
enabled
Pull-down the line
 7 or 8 bits data
 One or two stop bit
 Pull-up the line for one or two slots
 Simple error checking: parity (optional)
 Even parity: If the data has odd number of 1, parity bit = 1 (make it
even); else parity bit = 0
 Odd parity: If the data has even number of 1, parity bit = 1 (make it
odd); else parity bit = 0
 Four parameters for UART communication
 Baudrate, data-bit, parity, stop-bit
 We wrote: 9600 8N1,

Means: baudrate=9600, 8-bit data, no parity, 1 stop bit

RS485
 Two-wire, half-duplex
 Multipoint serial connection
 Signal level
 Difference between the wires’ voltages


A – B > 0.2V => logic high (0)
A – B < -0.2V => logic low (1)
 Why it is popular in industrial applications
 Only two wire
 35 Mbit/s up to 10 m and 100 kbit/s at 1200 m
