General Description
The Delta Sigma Analog to Digital Converter (ADC_DelSig) is ideal for sampling signals over a
wide spectrum. The sample rate can be adjusted between 10 and 375000 samples per second,
depending on mode and resolution. Choices of conversion modes simplify interfacing to single
streaming signals like audio, or multiplexing between multiple signal sources.
When to use a ADC_DelSig
The ADC_DelSig is usable in a wide range of applications. It is capable of stereo 16-bit audio,
high speed low resolution, and high precision 20-bit low speed conversions for sensors such as
strain gauges, thermocouples and other high precision sensors. Take care to select the
appropriate Conversion Method parameter to best match the application.
Delta Sigma converters use oversampling to spread the quantization noise across a wider
frequency spectrum. This noise is shaped to move most of it outside the input signal's
bandwidth. A low pass filter is used to filter out the noise outside the desired input signal
bandwidth. This makes delta sigma converters good for both high speed medium resolution (8 to
16 bits) and low speed high resolution (16 to 20 bits) applications.

Input/Output Connections
This section describes the various input and output connections for the ADC_DelSig. An asterisk
(*) in the list of I/Os indicates that the I/O may be hidden on the symbol under the conditions
listed in the description of that I/O.
+Input – Analog
This input is the positive analog signal input to the ADC_DelSig. The conversion result is a
function of the +Input minus the voltage reference, which is either the –Input or Vssa.
–Input – Analog *
This input is the negative analog signal input to the ADC_DelSig. It can also be thought of as the
reference input. The conversion result is a function of the +Input minus the –Input. This pin will
be visible when the ADC_Input_Range parameter is set to one of the following modes.
•
0.0 +/- 1.024 V (Differential) -Input +/- Vref
•
0.0 +/- 2.048 V (Differential) -Input +/- 2*Vref
•
0.0 +/- 0.512 V (Differential) -Input +/- Vref/2
•
0.0 +/- 0.256 V (Differential) -Input +/- Vref/4
soc – Input *
The Start of Conversion (soc) is an optional pin. It is shown if you have selected to use hardware
to trigger a start of conversion. A rising edge on this pin will start an ADC conversion if the option
is selected. If the Start of Conversion parameter is set to "Software" this I/O will be hidden.
aclk – Input *
This optional pin is present if the Clock Source parameter is set to "External." Otherwise the pin
will not be shown. This clock determines the conversion rate as a function of conversion method
and resolution.
Note The ADC Clock must be derived from the system bus clock. If a clock source external to
the PSoC is required to drive the ADC_DelSig, the external clock must source the system bus
clock. The clock connected to the ADC_DelSig can then be derived from any internal clock that
is based on the system bus clock.
eoc – Output
A rising edge on the End of Conversion (eoc) signals that a conversion is complete. A DMA
request may be connected to this pin to transfer the conversion output to system RAM, DFB, or
other component. The internal interrupt is also connected to this signal.

Parameters and Setup
The Delta Sigma ADC is a highly configurable analog to digital converter. Drag an ADC_DelSig
component onto your design and double-click it to open the Configure dialog.
Figure 1: Configure ADC_DelSig Dialog
Invalid Settings
The parameters Conversion Mode, Resolution, and Conversion Rate all affect the ADC clock
frequency. Changing any of these parameters may cause the ADC clock frequency to exceed
the maximum or minimum rate. If an invalid setting for these parameters occurs, a red circle with
an exclamation point will appear, as follows:
If you hover the cursor over one of the error symbols, it will display an error message. For
example, in the case above, the following error message would appear: "The ADC clock
frequency of 3200.000 kHz has exceeded the maximum limit of 3072.000 kHz for the conversion
mode, resolution and sample rate." If this occurs, change the parameters as needed to comply
with the ADC specifications.

Power
This parameter sets the power level of the ADC. The "High Power" setting allows the ADC to
operate at higher clock rates for faster conversion times. The "Low Power" setting provides a low
power alternative when fast conversion speed is not critical.

Conversion Mode
This parameter selects the mode of operation at which the ADC operates.
Conversion Mode
Description
Fast_Filter
Continuous single sample with ADC channel resets between samples. That is, Fast Filter
mode captures single samples back to back, resetting itself and Modulator between each
sample. Upon completion of a sample, the next sample is initiated continuously. Fast
Filter mode is simply a continuous string of Single Sample switch channel resets between
them. This mode is useful when the input is switched between multiple signals. The filters
are flushed between each sample so previous samples do not affect the current
conversion, as with Delta-Sigma converters.
Note Care should be taken when switching signals between ADC conversions. Either
switch the input quickly with hardware control or Stop the ADC while switching the input
then restart the ADC after the new signal has been connected to the ADC. Failure to do
this may result in crosstalk between signals in the ADC results.
Continuous
Continuous sample mode operates as a normal Delta-Sigma converter. Use this mode
when measuring a single input signal. This mode should not be used when multiple
signals need to be measured with a single ADC. There will be a delay of three extra
conversion times before the first conversion result is available. This is the time required
to prime the internal filter. After the first result, a conversion will be available at the
desired sample rate.
Fast_FIR
The Fast FIR mode operates identically to the Fast Filter mode between 8 and 16 bits of
resolution. For resolutions of 17 to 20 bits, the performance is about 4 times faster than
the Fast Filter mode. This is because the modulator is only reset once at the end of
conversion.
Note Care should be taken when switching signals between ADC conversions. Either
switch the input quickly with hardware control or Stop the ADC while switching the input
then restart the ADC after the new signal has been connected to the ADC. Failure to do
this may result in crosstalk between signals in the ADC results.

Clock Frequency
This text box is a non-editable area that is used to inform the user what the desired clock rate is
for the selected modes. When using an external clock, the customizer still calculates the desired
clock rate to indicate what frequency the external clock should be.
The following table provides minimum and maximum sample rates for each mode and resolution
of the ADC_DelSig component. This table is based on the minimum clock rate for all modes and
resolution of 128 kHz. The maximum clock rate is 6.144 MHz for resolutions up to 14 bits. For
resolutions above 14 bits (15 to 20) the maximum ADC clock is 3.072 MHz.

PSoC® Creator™ Component Data Sheet
Delta Sigma Analog to Digital Converter (ADC_DelSig)
If a start of conversion occurs in the middle of a conversion, the SOC signal works just like the
ADC_StartConvert( ) command. The ADC starts conversion on the first rising edge and
continues until the ADC_StopConvert( ) is called.
Clock Source
This parameter allows you to select either a clock that is internal to the ADC_DelSig module or
an external clock.
Clock Source
Description
Internal
Use an internal clock that is part of the ADC_DelSig component.
External
Use an external clock. The clock source may be a standard clock component, or generated
by another component. The external clock provided must be configured to be a 50% duty
cycle or the ADC will not operate properly.
Input Range
This parameter configures the ADC for a given input range. This configures the input to the ADC
and is independent of the input buffer gain setting. The analog signals connected to the IC must
be between Vssa and Vdda no matter what input range settings are used.
Input Range
Description
0.0 to 1.024V
(Single Ended)
0 to Vref
When using the internal reference (1.024V), the usable input voltage to the ADC is 0.0 to
1.024 Volts. The ADC will be configured to operate in a single ended input mode with the
–Input connected internally to Vssa. The negative input buffer amplifier will be powered down
and the positive input buffer will be configured to operate rail-to-rail. If an external reference
voltage is used, the usable input range to the ADC will be 0.0 to Vref.
0.0 to 2.048V
(Single Ended)
0 to 2*Vref
When using the internal reference (1.024V), the usable input voltage to the ADC is 0.0 to
2.048 Volts. The ADC will be configured to operate in a single ended input mode with the –
Input connected internally to Vssa. The negative input buffer amplifier will be powered down
and the positive input buffer will be configured to operate rail-to-rail. If an external reference
voltage is used, the usable input range to the ADC will be 0.0 to (2 * Vref).
Vssa to Vdda
(Single Ended)
This mode uses the Vdda/4 reference and a ADC input (not buffer) gain of 4 so the usable
input range will cover the full analog supply voltage. The ADC will put in a single ended input
mode with the –Input connected internally to Vssa. The negative input buffer amplifier will be
powered down and the positive input buffer will be configured to operate rail-to-rail.
0.0 +/- 1.024V
(Differential)
-Input +/- Vref
This mode is configured for differential inputs. When using the internal reference (1.024V),
the input range will be –Input +/- 1.024V. If –Input is connected to 2.048 volts the usable
input range is 2.048 +/- 1.024V or 1.024 to 3.072V. For systems where both single ended
and differential signals are scanned, connect the –Input to Vssa when scanning a single
ended input. This mode does not use the rail-to-rail buffer mode, but it shouldn’t be required
for most applications.
An external reference may be used to provide a wider operating range. The usable input
range can be calculated with the same equation, -Input +/- Vref.

(Differential)
-Input +/- 0.5*Vref
This mode is configured for differential inputs. When using the internal reference (1.024V),
the input range will be –Input +/- 0.512V. If –Input is connected to 1.0 volt the usable input
range is 1.0 +/- 0.512V or 0.488 to 1.512V. For systems where both single ended and
differential signals are scanned, connect the –Input to Vssa when scanning a single ended
input. This mode does not use the rail-to-rail buffer mode, but it shouldn’t be required for
most applications.
An external reference may be used to provide a wider operating range. The usable input
range can be calculated with the same equation, -Input +/- 0.5*Vref.

range is 1.0 +/- 0.256V or 0.744 to 1.256V. For systems where both single ended and
differential signals are scanned, connect the –Input to Vssa when scanning a single ended

Input Buffer Gain
Selects the ADC input buffer gain. To achieve the highest signal to noise ratio, it is important to
use the full range of the ADC. The input buffer can be used to amplify the input signal to make
use of the full range of the ADC. Care should be taken to make sure the Buffer_Gain and
ADC_Input_Range setting are compatible.

Disable Buffer
Disables the input buffer gain.
Voltage Reference
This parameter is non-editable when using the internal 1.024 volt reference. When using an
external reference, you may edit this value to match the external reference voltage. When the
input range "Vssa to Vdda (Single Ended)" is selected, the Vdda supply voltage value should be
entered. The voltage reference is used for the ADC count to voltage conversion functions
discussed in the API section.
Placement

Sample Firmware Source Code
The following is a C language example demonstrating the basic functionality of the ADC_DelSig
component. This example assumes the component has been placed in a design with the default
name "ADC_DelSig_1."
Note If you rename your component you must also edit the example code as appropriate to
match the component name you specify.
#include <device.h>
void main()
{
int16 result;
ADC_DelSig_1_Start();
ADC_DelSig_1_StartConvert();
ADC_DelSig_1_IsEndConversion(ADC_DelSig_1_WAIT_FOR_RESULT);
result = ADC_DelSig_1_GetResult16();
}
Example for Multiplexing Analog Input at Runtime
#include <device.h>
void main()
{
int16 result;
ADC_DelSig_1_Start();
AMux_1_Start( ); /* Reset all channels */
AMux_1_Select(0); /* Connect channel 1 */
ADC_DelSig_1_StartConvert();
ADC_DelSig_1_IsEndConversion(ADC_DelSig_1_WAIT_FOR_RESULT);
result = ADC_DelSig_1_GetResult16();/* Get the result */
ADC_DelSig_1_StopConvert();
AMux_1_Select(1); /* Connect channel 2 */
ADC_DelSig_1_StartConvert();
ADC_DelSig_1_IsEndConversion(ADC_DelSig_1_WAIT_FOR_RESULT);

Interrupt Service Routine
The ADC_DelSig contains a blank interrupt service routine in the file ADC_DelSig_1_INT.c file,
where "ADC_DelSig_1" is the instance name. You may place custom code in the designated
areas to perform whatever function is required at the end of a conversion. A copy of the blank
interrupt service routine is shown below. Place custom code between the " /* `#START
MAIN_ADC_ISR` */ " and "/* `#END` */ " comments. This ensures that the code will be
preserved when a project is regenerated.
CY_ISR( ADC_DelSig_1_ISR )
{
/* Place user ADC ISR code here. This can be a good place
/* to place code that is used to switch the input to the
/* ADC. It may be good practice to first stop the ADC
/* before switching the input then restart the ADC.
*/
*/
*/
*/
/* `#START MAIN_ADC_ISR` */
/* Place user code here. */
/* `#END` */
}
A second designated area is made available to place variable definitions and constant
definitions.
/* System variables */
/* `#START ADC_SYS_VAR` */
/* Place user code here. */
/* `#END` */
Below is example code using an interrupt to capture data. The main is similar to the previous
example except that the interrupt must be enabled.
#include <device.h>
int16 result = 0;
uint8 dataReady = 0;
void main()
{
int16 newReading = 0;
CYGlobalIntEnable;
ADC_DelSig_1_Start();
ADC_DelSig_1_IRQ_Enable();
ADC_DelSig_1_StartConvert();
for(;;)
{
if (dataReady != 0)
{
dataReady = 0;
newReading = result;
/* More user code */
}
}
}

Functional Description
The ADC_DelSig is composed of three blocks: input amplifier, 3rd order Delta-Sigma modulator,
and a decimator. The input amplifier provides a high impedance input and a user-selectable
input gain. The decimator block contains a 4 stage CIC decimation filter and a post-processing
unit. The CIC filter operates on the data sample directly from the modulator. The post-processing
unit optionally performs gain, offset, and simple filter functions on the output of the CIC
decimator filter.

Gain Correction Registers
Each ADC result may be multiplied by a 16-bit gain correction value. This gain can be used to
compensate for system gain errors or in conjunction with the Offset Correction Registers to
automatically convert the ADC output to a useful unit such as temperature or pressure. The Gain
Correction Register is 16-bits across two 8-bit registers. The ADC output sample is multiplied by
the gain correction value after the offset correction has been added.

Offset Correction Registers
The post processing stage of the ADC provides a method to add a constant offset to the ADC
conversion result before the result is placed in the output sample register. This offset can be
used to calibrate system offsets or in conjunction with the Gain Correction Registers to
automatically convert the ADC output to a useful unit such as temperature or pressure. This
Offset Correction Register is 24-bits across three 8-bit registers. The offset correction value is
added to the sample result prior to the gain correction.
