MSPM0 analogue front-end: general purpose amp as buffer for ADC

Jan Cumps

The MSPM0 has a general purpose amp (GPAMP). It's an internal OpAmp that, for example, can buffer a signal for the ADC without external components. That's an example that I'm trying out in this post. Roughly based on the Resource Explorer gpamp_buffer_to_adc example.

Setup

For this example, the GPAMP is configured with x1 gain (a buffer or input follower). And its output is internally routed to the ADC input.

GPAMP settings:

The non-inverting input (+) is routed to pin PA26. The output is internally routed to the inverting input (+).

The internal routing to the ADC is done by setting the ADC channel:

The C code is unchanged from TI's gpamp_buffer_to_adc example.

Test

The test source is a 2.5 V reference. The ADC reference is VDDA (3.3 V). I've done 3 tests: measure the ADC reference voltage, and the 2.5 V test signal.

  • buffered by GPAMP,
  • directly to the ADC
  • with a Brymen BM235 DMM
GPAMP (0 - 4095) ADC (0 – 4095) BM235 (mV)
ADC ref 4085 4095 3290
input 3110 0.761321909424725 3097 0.756288156288156 2498 0.759270516717325

This will work for the EasyL1105 board and with an L1306 Launchpad.

Thank you for reading.

    Nice post Jan.

    I did not know that this device included opamps withing the architecture.

    It looks like TI is copying capability from the PSOC.
