==Basic Device Operation==
−
芯片PCF8591是用i2c总线进行串行输入/输出，因此模块上的SDA、SCL两个引脚可以接到开发板的I2C的SDA、SCL两个引脚上。模块上还有AINT0-AINT4引脚为外部模拟输入可编程为单端或差分输入，要注意外接的模拟电压输入范围在0—VDD。
+
The PCF8591's I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules. The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines must
−
<br>
+
be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy. The AINT0 - AINT4 pins are analog inputs which can be configured to single-ended or differential inputs. The supply voltage is 0 - VDD.<br>
−
1、PCF8591在I2C总线系统通过激活来发送一个有效的地址到设备中，可编程地址必须根据地址引脚A0、A1、A2来设置。I2C协议中信息发送开始后发送的第一个字节是地址信息，地址字节的最后一位是用于设置以后数据传输方向的读/写位。
+
1. Each PCF8591 device in an I2C-bus system is activated by sending a valid address to the device. The address consists of a fixed part and a programmable part. The programmable part must be set according to the address pins A0, A1 and A2. The address is always sent as the first byte after the start condition in the I2C-bus protocol. The last bit of the address byte is the read/write-bit which sets the direction of the following data transfer. <br>
−
<br>
+
2. The second byte sent to a PCF8591 device is stored in its control register and is required to control the device function. The upper nibble of the control register is used for enabling the analog output, and for programming the analog inputs as single-ended or differential inputs. The lower nibble selects one of the analog input channels defined by the upper nibble.<br>
−
2、发送到PCF8591 的第二个字节将被存储在控制寄存器，用于控制器件功能。控制寄存器的高半字节用于允许模拟输出，和将模拟输入编程为单端或差分输入。低半字节选择一个由高半字节定义的模拟输入通道。
+
3. The on-chip D/A converter and a high-gain comparator are used temporarily during an A/D conversion cycle. An A/D conversion cycle is always started after sending a valid read mode address to a PCF8591 device. The A/D conversion cycle is triggered at the trailing edge of the acknowledge clock pulse and is executed while transmitting the result of the previous conversion。 <br>
−
<br>
+
−
3、在A/D 转换周期将临时使用片上D/A 转换器和高增益比较器。一个A/D 转换周期总是开始于发送一个有效读模式地址给PCF8591 之后。A/D 转换周期在应答时钟脉冲的后沿被触发，并在传输前一次转换结果时执行A/D转换器采用。

==Compile & Run Test Program==
 +
Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
 +
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.
 +
 
 +
Compile and install Matrix:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ cd matrix
 +
$ make && make install
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
Run test program:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ matrix-adc
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.<br>
 +
Here is what you should observe:<br>
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
The channel0 value is 2460
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
When Channel 0 is connected to 5V its value reaches the maximum: 2550. When it is grounded its value is 0.
 +
 
 +
==Code Sample==
 +
This Matrix code sample can work with all the ARM boards mentioned in this module's wiki. The name of this code sample is "matrix-analog_to_digital_converter". Here is its source code:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
 +
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
 +
{
 +
    int i = 0;
 +
    int value = 0;
 +
    int channel = 0;
 +
 
 +
    if (boardInit() < 0) {
 +
        printf("Fail to init board\n");
 +
        return -1;
 +
    }
 +
   
 +
    if (argc == 2)
 +
        channel = atoi(argv[1]);
 +
    system("modprobe "DRIVER_MODULE);
 +
    signal(SIGINT, intHandler);
 +
    for (i=0; i<ADC_READ_TIMES; i++) {
 +
        if (pcf8591Read(channel, &value) != -1) {
 +
            printf("The channel%d value is %d\n", channel, value);
 +
        } else {
 +
            printf("Fail to get channel%d value\n", channel);

1 Introduction

Analog to Digital Converter
  • The Matrix-Analog_to_Digital_Converter is a single-chip, single-supply low-power 8-bit CMOS data acquisition device.
  • It utilizes the PCF8591 chip with four analog inputs, one analog output and a serial I2C-bus interface. Three address pins A0, A1 and A2 are used for programming the hardware address, allowing

the use of up to eight devices connected to the I2C-bus without additional hardware. Address, control and data to and from the device are transferred serially via the two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. The maximum conversion rate is given by the maximum speed of the I2C-bus.

  • The I2C hardware address is configured to 1001000x
  • The operating supply voltage is from 2.5V to 6.0V，Among the 2.54 mm spacing pin header the 5V pin is the supply voltage. If you need 0 - 3.3V analog signals and keep the acquisition resolution you can connect it to a 3.3V supply voltage.

2 Features

  • Wide range supply voltage: 2.5V - 6.0V

3 Basic Device Operation

The PCF8591's I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules. The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines must be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy. The AINT0 - AINT4 pins are analog inputs which can be configured to single-ended or differential inputs. The supply voltage is 0 - VDD.
1. Each PCF8591 device in an I2C-bus system is activated by sending a valid address to the device. The address consists of a fixed part and a programmable part. The programmable part must be set according to the address pins A0, A1 and A2. The address is always sent as the first byte after the start condition in the I2C-bus protocol. The last bit of the address byte is the read/write-bit which sets the direction of the following data transfer.
2. The second byte sent to a PCF8591 device is stored in its control register and is required to control the device function. The upper nibble of the control register is used for enabling the analog output, and for programming the analog inputs as single-ended or differential inputs. The lower nibble selects one of the analog input channels defined by the upper nibble.
3. The on-chip D/A converter and a high-gain comparator are used temporarily during an A/D conversion cycle. An A/D conversion cycle is always started after sending a valid read mode address to a PCF8591 device. The A/D conversion cycle is triggered at the trailing edge of the acknowledge clock pulse and is executed while transmitting the result of the previous conversion。

5 Compile & Run Test Program

Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code: 

$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.

Compile and install Matrix: 

$ cd matrix
$ make && make install

Run test program: 

$ matrix-adc

Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.
Here is what you should observe:

The channel0 value is 2460

When Channel 0 is connected to 5V its value reaches the maximum: 2550. When it is grounded its value is 0.

6 Code Sample

This Matrix code sample can work with all the ARM boards mentioned in this module's wiki. The name of this code sample is "matrix-analog_to_digital_converter". Here is its source code: 

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    int i = 0;
    int value = 0;
    int channel = 0;
 
    if (boardInit() < 0) {
        printf("Fail to init board\n");
        return -1;
    }
 
    if (argc == 2)
        channel = atoi(argv[1]);
    system("modprobe "DRIVER_MODULE);
    signal(SIGINT, intHandler);
    for (i=0; i<ADC_READ_TIMES; i++) {
        if (pcf8591Read(channel, &value) != -1) {
            printf("The channel%d value is %d\n", channel, value);
        } else {
            printf("Fail to get channel%d value\n", channel);
        }
    }
    system("rmmod "DRIVER_MODULE);
 
    return 0;
}
