THEORY
Analog to Digital Converter
The A/D converter present on some LPC2000 variants is a 10-bit
successive approximation converter, with a conversion time of 2.44
µSec. The A/D converter has either 4 or 8 multiplexed inputs
depending on the variant. The programming interface for the A/D
converter is shown below
Figure 1: ADC is available with 4 or 8 channels of 10-bit
resolution

Features of ADC
• 2 internal ADC's - ADC0 (6 Channel), ADC1 (8 Channel)
• Type: 10-bit, Successive Approximation type,
• Supports burst mode (repeated conversion at 3-bit to 10-bit resolution)
• Supports simultaneous conversion on both ADC's
• Conversion time: 2.44 micro-seconds
• Start of Conversion by software control / on timer match /transition on a pin
• Range: 0 V – VREF (+3.3 V)
• Max. clock frequency is 4.5 MHz, (by programming ADC Control (ADxCON Register)
ADC Control Registers:
1. SEL: The bits from (0 to 7) are used to select the channel for ADC conversion. One bit is
allotted for each channel. For example setting the Bit-0 will make the ADC to sample AD0.1 for
conversion. And setting the bit -1 will make AD0.1; similarly setting bit-7 will do the conversion
for AD0.7. Important step is we have PINSEL according to the port we are using for example
PINSEL0 for PORT0 in PLC2148.
2. CLCKDIV: The bits from (8 to 15) are for Clock Divisor. Here the APB clock (ARM
Peripheral Bus clock) is divided by this value plus one to produce the clock required for the A/D
converter, which should be less than or equal to 4.5 MHz as we are using successive
approximation method in LPC2148.
3. BURST: The bit 16 is used for BURST conversion mode.
Setting 1: The ADC will do the conversion for all the channels that are selected in SEL bits.
Setting 0: Will disable the BURST conversion mode.
4. CLCKS: The bits from (17 to 19) three bits are used for selecting resolution and the number
of clocks for A/D conversion in burst mode as it is continuous A/D conversion mode.
5. PDN: The bit 21 is for selecting Power down Mode of ADC in LPC2148.
1. A/D is in PDN mode.
2. A/D is in operational mode
6. START: The bits from (24 to 26) are for START. When the BURST conversion mode is OFF
by setting 0, these START bits are useful for when to start the A/D conversion. The START is
used for edge controlled conversion also. That is when there is an input in CAP or MAT pin of
LPC2148 the A/D starts to convert.
7. EDGE: The 27th
bit is for EDGE is used only when the START bit contains 010-111. It starts
conversion when there is CAP or MAT input you can see above table for that.
Setting: 0 - On Falling Edge
1- On Rising Edge

CONCLUSION
In this experiment we studied about various registers in ADC on chip peripheral
of LPC 2148 . We programmed them suitably to obtain respective results via
UART . AD0.1 was given voltage between 0-3.1 V and voltage readings
observed via UART on terminal screen. Theoretical and practical values almost
same.
