Vocabulary
• ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) – converts an analog
signal (voltage/current) to a digital value
• DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) – converts a digital
value to an analog value (voltage/current)
• Sample period – for ADC, time between each conversion
– Typically, samples are taken at a fixed rate
• Vref (Reference Voltage) – analog signal varies between 0
and Vref, or between +/- Vref
• Resolution – number of bits used for conversion (8 bits, 10
bits, 12 bits, 16 bits, etc).
• Conversion Time – the time it takes for a analog-to-digital
conversion

0 and Vref

Vout
DAC
Assume a DAC that uses an unsigned binary input code,
with 0 < Vout < Vref. Then
D= 0000 0000 Vout = 0V
D= 0000 0001 Vout = Vref(1/256 ) (one LSB)
D = 0000 0010 Vout = Vref(2/256)
...
D = 1111 1111 Vout = Vref(255/256) (full scale)

Commercial DACs
• Either voltage or current DACs
– Current DACs require an external operational amplifier
to convert to voltage
• Precision up to 16-bits
• Key timing parameter is settling time - amount of
time it takes to produce a stable output voltage
once the input code has changed
• We will use an 8-bit voltage DAC with an I2C
interface from Maxim semiconductor

ADC Architectures
• The previous architectures are called Flash ADCs

–
–
–
Fastest possible conversion time
Requires the most transistors of any architecture
N-bit converter requires 2N-1 comparators.
Commercially available flash converters up to 12 bits.
Conversion done in one clock cycle
• Successive approximation ADCs
– Use only one comparator
– Take one clock cycle per bit
– High precision (16-bit converters are available)
V 0.2
16
Successive Approximation ADC
First, set DAC to produce
Vref/2.
Output of Comparator is
Q[N-1] (MSB)
If MSB =1 , then Vin
between Vref and Vref/2, so
set DAC to produce ¾ Vref.
If MSB=0, then Vin between
Vref/2 and 0, so set DAC to
½ Vref.
Output of comparator is now
Q[N-2].
Do this for each bit.
Output is Q[N].
From http://www.allaboutcircuits.com
Takes N cycles.
V 0.2

Commercial ADCs
• Key timing parameter is conversion time – how
long does it take to produce a digital output once a
conversion is started
• Up to 16-bit ADCs available
• Separated into fast/medium/low speed families
– Serial interfaces common on medium/low speed ADCs
• For high-precision ADCs, challenge is keeping
system noise from affecting conversion
– Assume a 16-bit DAC, and a 4.1V reference, then 1 LSB
= 4.1/216 = 62 V.

Sample ADC Computations
If Vref = 5V, and the 10-bit A/D output code is 0x12A, what
is the ADC input voltage?
output_code/2N * Vref = (0x12A)/210 * 5 V
= 298/1024 * 5 V = 1.46 V (Vin)
If Vref = 5V, and the upper 8 bits of the A/D output code is
0xA9, what is the ADC input voltage?
output_code/2N * Vref = (0xA9)/28 * 5 V
= 169/256 * 5 V = 3.3 V (Vin)
If Vref = 4V, and the A/D input voltage is 2.35 V, what is
the ADC output code, upper 8-bits?
Vin/ Vref * 2N = 2.35 V/ 4 V * 28
= .5875 * 256 = 150.4 = 150 = 0x96
V 0.2

Sample DAC Computations
If Vref = 5V, and the 8-bit input code is is 0x8A, what is
the DAC output voltage?
input_code/2N * Vref = (0x8A)/28 * 5 V
= 138/256 * 5 V = 2.70 V (Vout)
If Vref = 4V, and the DAC output voltage is 1.25 V, what is
the 8-bit input code?
Vout/ Vref * 2N = 1.25 V/4 V * 28
= 0.3125 * 256 = 80 = 0x50 (input_code)

Successive approximation
10 bit resolution
Reference voltage can be Vdd or separate voltage
Multiple input (more than one input channel)
Time per bit(Tad) for conversion is either 2Tosc, 8Tosc, or 32
Tosc, where Tad cannot be less than 1.6 us (Tosc = 1/Fosc)
• Total conversion time is 10* Tad +Taq (acquisition)
– Taq is approximately 20 us; acquisition time is the amount of
time input capacitor requires to charge up to input voltage.
– So a 20 Mhz Fosc, Tosc = .05 us, so 32Tosc = 1.6 us;
conversion time = 10*1.6 us + 20 us = 36 us.

Acquisition Time
Acquisition time is the time required for the analog input voltage
to be sampled by the input capacitor.
The sampling switch is CLOSED during this time.
When the conversion begins, the sampling switch is OPENED and
the input capacitor holds the input voltage while the conversion is
done.
This process is also called sample and hold.

Voltage References
Stability of voltage reference is critical for high precision
conversions.
We will use Vdd as our voltage reference for convenience, but will
be throwing away at least two bits of precision due to Vdd
fluctations.
Example Commercial voltage reference: 2.048v, 2.5v , 3v, 3.3v,
4.096v, 5v (Maxim 6029)

Key parameter for a voltage is

range. Need this to be less than ½

V 0.2
30
Command Format
Only command byte we will use for Max517 will be
00000000 = 0x00 as this does a write to DAC0.
V 0.2
31
Timing
Max517 DAC has a 6 us settling time.
Requires 3 bytes over I2C bus to write a new value.
At 400Khz, one bit time = 2.5 us.
Each byte is 8 bits + 1 ACK.
So 27 bits * 2.5 us = 67.5 us not counting software overhead. So
we are limited by I2C bus speed, not by the DAC settling time.

This diagram assumes that 10K pullups are already on the
SCL/SDA lines from the previous lab.
Read the voltage from the potentiometer via the PIC A/D, write
this digital value to the DAC. The DAC output voltage should
match the potentiometer voltage.
