Introduction To ARM7

This generation introduced the Thumb 16-bit instruction set providing improved code density compared to previous designs. The most widely used ARM7 designs implement the ARMv4T architecture, but some implement ARMv3 or ARMv5TEJ. All these designs use a Von Neumann architecture, thus the few versions comprising a cache do not separate data and instruction caches.

ARM ARCHITECTURE

In this section we will start programming LPC2138 with the brief introduction we had in the previous section. As described earlier in order to start programming LPC 2138 programming, we will start with the architecture of LPC 2138 first and then proceed with the GPIO pins.

ABOUT GPIO

General-purpose input/output (GPIO) is a generic pin on an integrated circuit whose behavior, including whether it is an input or output pin, can be controlled by the user at run time.

ARM

ARM is a family of instruction set architectures for computer processors based on a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) architecture developed by British company ARM Holdings..

mobile computing

A CPU chip is designed for portable computers, it is typically housed in a smaller chip package, but more importantly, in order to run cooler, it uses lower voltages than its desktop counterpart and has more "sleep mode" capability. A mobile processor can be throttled down to different power levels or sections of the chip can be turned off entirely when not in use. Further, the clock frequency may be stepped down under low processor loads. This stepping down conserves power and prolongs battery life..

ARM 7

ARM is the industry's leading supplier of microprocessor technology, offering the widest range of microprocessor cores to address the performance, power and cost requirements for almost all application markets.

Programming ADC in LPC 2138 (using LM35) using LCD and UART

        ADC INTERFACING WITH LPC2138

       An analog-to-digital converter (ADC, A/D, or A to D) is a device that converts a  continuous physical quantity (voltage) to a digital number that represents the            quantity's amplitude.
       ADC is widely used in data acquisition, an increasing number of microcontrollers have an on-chip ADC peripheral, just like timers and USART. An on-chip ADC eliminates the need for an external ADC connection, which leaves more pins for other I/O activities.
ADC Features:
·       It is a 8-bit ADC.
·       The converted output binary data is held by two special function registers called ADCL and ADCH.
·       We have three options for Vref, Vref can be connected to AVCC (Analog Vcc), internal 2.56V reference, or external AREF pin.
·       The conversion time is dictated by the crystal frequency connected to the XTAL pins and ADC bits.
       The resolution of the converter indicates the number of discrete values it can produce over the range of analog values. The resolution determines the magnitude of the quantization error and therefore determines the maximum possible average signal to noise ratio for an ideal ADC without the use of oversampling. The values are usually stored electronically in binary form, so the resolution is usually expressed in bits.
       The values can represent the ranges from 0 to 255 (i.e. unsigned integer) or from −128 to 127 (i.e. signed integer), depending on the application.


Resolution can also be defined electrically, and expressed in volts. The minimum change in voltage required to guarantee a change in the output code level is called the least significant bit (LSB) voltage. The resolution Q of the ADC is equal to the LSB voltage. The voltage resolution of an ADC is equal to its overall voltage measurement range divided by the number of discrete values:


Normally, the number of voltage intervals is given by


Where M is the ADC's resolution in bits.
ADC Registers

UART
       A universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter, is a piece of computer hardware that translates data between parallel and serial forms. UARTs are commonly used in conjunction with communication standards such as EIA, RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485. The universal designation indicates that the data format and transmission speeds are configurable.
     A UART is usually an individual (or part of an) integrated circuit used for serial communications over a computer or peripheral device serial port. UARTs are now commonly included in microcontrollers.
LM35 TEMPERATURE SENSOR
      LM 35 has been chosen as the temperature sensor as it has the following properties. The LM35 does not require any external calibration or trimming to provide typical accuracies of ±1⁄4°C at room temperature and ±3⁄4°C over a full −55 to +150°C temperature range. It is also of low cost and it can be glued to any surface.
PIN CONFIGURATION
         P0.0 and P0.1 are connected to transmitter and receiver for data transmission and reception.
         P0.2 to P0.4 are used as RS, R/W and Enable bits and connected to LCD display.
          P0.8 to P0.15 are connected to data pins in LCD
          P0.27 are connected to LM35 (temperature sensor).
