pdb_adc16_trigger#

Overview#

The pdb_adc16_trigger example shows how to use the PDB to generate a ADC trigger.

Based on the basic counter, to use the ADC trigger, just to enable the ADC trigger’s “milestone” and set the user- defined value for it. After the PDB counter is triggered to start, when the counter pass the “milestone”, the ADC’s Pre-Trigger would be generated and sent to the ADC module.

In this example, the ADC16 is configured with hardware trigger and conversion complete interrupt enabled. Once it gets the trigger from the PDB, the conversion goes, then the ISR would be executed.

Supported Boards#

FRDM-K22F
Hardware requirements
  • Mini/Micro USB cable

  • FRDM-K22F board

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

No special is needed.

Prepare the Demo
  1. Connect a USB cable between the PC host and the OpenSDA USB port on the board.

  2. Open a serial terminal on PC for OpenSDA serial device with these settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

  4. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo.

Running the demo

When the demo runs successfully, the log would be seen on the OpenSDA terminal like:
