Hi!

I'd like to measure the battery voltage (using the bandgap voltage) powering my xMega128A1. I tried to search here, I also gone trough the help, but I can't understand how to config my ADC to achieve this . :S

Could somebody write the adc config and the actual command to read the battery voltage? For now I just like to print to the terminal.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Regards,
DC

according to the datasheet, you need to use : Ch0_inp = Internal


MUXPOS[3:0] Group Configuration Description
0000 TEMP Temperature Reference
0001 BANDGAP Bandgap voltage
0010 SCALEDVCC 1/10 scaled Vcc
0011 DAC DAC output

and :

MUXNEG[2:0]
111 INTGND Internal ground

thus :
var=getadc(adca,0,&B1111)
would get the bandgap voltage.

so put/merge this in the getadc sample from the help and it should work.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the clarification, I was completely on the wrong side.

Now I can measure something with this code:

Code:

$regfile = "xm128a1def.dat"
$crystal = 32000000                                                             '32MHz
$hwstack = 512
$swstack = 512
$framesize = 512
$lib "xmega.lib"
$external _xmegafix_clear
$external _xmegafix_rol_r1014
Config Osc = Disabled , 32mhzosc = Enabled                                      
Config Sysclock = 32mhz , Prescalea = 1 , Prescalebc = 1_1

Config Priority = Static , Vector = Application , Lo = Enabled        

Config Com1 = 9600 , Mode = Asynchroneous , Parity = None , Stopbits = 1 , Databits = 8

Config Adca = Single , Resolution = 12bit , Ch0_gain = 1 , Ch0_inp = Internal , Mux0 = &B1111

Print "Start"
Dim Voltage As word
Voltage = Getadc(adca , 0 , &B1111)
Print Voltage
 


I read this thread:
http://www.mcselec.com/index2.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=59&page=viewtopic&t=10082&highlight=battery+voltage

and there MAK3 describes how to calculate the VCC from the ADC reading.

If I'm not wrong, using the 12bit ADC resolution, my formula would be 1,1*4096/voltage.

I got the following values when I ran the code:
Code:

1857
1857
1857
2081
1857
2048
 


And if I do the math with these readings, the battery voltage should be around 2.2 - 2.4 but if I measure with my DMM it says 3.9 volts. It is a single Li-Po cell.

What am I missing?

you asked for measuring the internal bandgap voltage. But what you want is to read SCALEDVCC. So use &B10_111 instead of &B1111
You then read vcc/10.
