Overview#

The vref example shows how to use the vref driver.

In this example, the adc16 module is initialized and used to measure the VREF output voltage. So, it cannot use internal VREF as the reference voltage.

Then, user should configure the VREF output pin as the ADC16’s sample input. When running the project, it will firstly measure the VREF output voltage within the default (factory) trim value. Then, it will measure the VREF output voltage under different trim values.

Supported Boards#

FRDM-K22F
Hardware requirements
  • Mini/Micro USB cable

  • FRDM-K22F board

  • Personal Computer

Board settings
  • No special setting 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

  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:
