Figure 63. Microprocessor Interface Circuitry for Differential Preamp

A flow chart for the zeroing subroutine is shown in Figure 64. It must be noted that the ADC0801 series will

the I/O ports are buffered with inverting gates.

Basically, if the data read is zero, the differential output voltage is negative, so a bit in Port B is cleared to pull VX

more negative which will make the output more positive for the next conversion. If the data read is not zero, the

output voltage is positive so a bit in Port B is set to make VX more positive and the output more negative. This

continues for 8 approximations and the differential output eventually converges to within 5 mV of zero.

The actual program is given in Figure 65. All addresses used are compatible with the BLC 80/10 microcomputer

system. In particular:

•

Port A and the ADC0801 are at port address E4

•

Port B is at port address E5

•

Port C is at port address E6

•

PPI control word port is at port address E7

•

Program Counter automatically goes to ADDR:3C3D upon acknowledgment of an interrupt from the ADC0801

Multiple A/D Converters in a Z-80 Interrupt Driven Mode

In data acquisition systems where more than one A/D converter (or other peripheral device) will be interrupting

pro- gram execution of a microprocessor, there is obviously a need for the CPU to determine which device

requires servicing. Figure 66 and the accompanying software is a method of determining which of 7 ADC0801

converters has completed a conversion (INTR asserted) and is requesting an interrupt. This circuit allows starting

the A/D converters in any sequence, but will input and store valid data from the converters with a priority

sequence of A/D 1 being read first, A/D 2 second, etc., through A/D 7 which would have the lowest priority for

data being read. Only the converters whose INT is asserted will be read.
