Configuration Bits
- System clock source can be provided by:
- Primary oscillator (OSC1, OSC2)
- Secondary oscillator (SOSCO and SOSCI) with 32kHz crystal
- Internal Fast RC (FRC) oscillator at 7.37MHz (7372800Hz)
- Low-Power RC (LPRC) oscillator (Watchdog Timer) at 512 kHz.
- These clock sources can be incorporated with interal Phase-locked-loop (PLL) x4, x8 or x16 to yield the osciallator frequrence FOSC
- The system clock is divided by 4 to yield the internal instruction cycle clock, FCY=FOSC/4
- FRC with PLLx16 is used to achieve FCY=29.49MHz (29491200Hz or 30MIPS)
//The code (MACRO) below is to be placed at the top of program (before main)
_FOSC(CSW_FSCM_OFF & FRC_PLL16);
_FWDT(WDT_OFF); //Turn off Watchdog Timer
_FBORPOR(PBOR_ON & BORV_27 & MCLR_DIS & PWRT_16);
_FGS(CODE_PROT_OFF); //Disable Code Protection
Timer
- Each timer is 16-bit (i.e. counting from 0 to 65535).
- Timer 2 and 3 can be incorporated together to form a 32-bit timer.
- Prescale is the ratio between timer counts and system clock counts. Prescales of 1:1, 1:8, 1:64 and 1:256 are available.
- Timers may be used to implement free time clock or mesaure time.
Free Time Clock
- Let required time for ticking be PERIOD.
- Number of instruction cycles during PERIOD = PERIOD*FCY cycles
- Using a prescale of 1:x, the timer period count register = # of cycles/x
- e.g. PERIOD = 10ms; # of cycles = 10ms*30MHz = 300000 cylces; Using 1:64 Prescale, register setting = 300000/64 = 4688
void time_init(void){
TMR1 = 0; // Clear register
PR1 = 4688; // Set period
//============================================================
_T1IF = 0; // Clear interrupt flag
_T1IE = 1; // Enable interrupts
//============================================================
T1CONbits.TCS = 0; // Use internal clock source
T1CONbits.TCKPS = 2; // Prescale Select 1:64
T1CONbits.TON = 1; // Start the timer
}
//********************************************************************
void _ISRFAST _T1Interrupt(void){
_T1IF = 0; // Clear interrupt flag
//Place user code here
}
Time Measurement
- To measure the time taken for action(), use the code below:
unsigned int measure_time(void){
PR3 = 0xFFFF; // Set counter to maximum
_T3IF = 0; // Clear interrupt flag
_T3IE = 0; // Disable interrupt
T3CONbits.TON = 1; // Start the timer, TMR3 count up
TMR3 = 0; //Clear TMR3 to start count up
//====================================================
//Add code here to wait for something to happen
action();
//====================================================
T3CONbits.TON = 0; //Stop the timer
//====================================================
return (unsigned int) TMR3/FCY; //TMR/FCY yields the actual time
}
Interrupt
- Registers are involved in Interrupts includes:
- Interrupt Flag Status (IFS0-IFS2) registers
- Interrupt Enable Control (IEC0-IEC2) registers
- Interrupt Priority Control (IPC0-IPC10) registers
- Interrupt Priority Level (IPL) register
- Global Interrupt Control (INTCON1, INTCON2) registers
- Interrupt vector (INTTREG) register
- User may assign priority level 0-7 to a specific interrupt using IPC. Setting priority to 0 disable a specific interrupt. Level 7 interrupt has the highest priority.
- Current priority level is stored in bit<7:5> of Status Register (SR). Setting Interrupt Priority Level (IPL) to 7 disables all interrupts (except traps).
- sti() and cli() can be defined to enable and disable global interrupts for time critical functions:
#define IPL ( 0x00e0 )
#define cli() SR |= IPL //Set IPL to 7
#define sti() SR &= ~IPL //Set IPL to 0
//============================================================
char adc_ioctl(unsigned char request, unsigned char* argp){
//...
cli(); //Disable global interrupt
for(;ch<=argp[0];ch++)
adc_add_ch(argp[ch]); //Add adc channels
sti(); //Enable global interrupt
//...
return 0;
}
- dsPic30F has an errate note on the Interrupt Controller. When Nested Interrupt is turned on (NSTDIS=0 by default), a high priority interrupt negating a low priority interrupt may result in an Address Error.
- To work around the problem, it is suggested by Microchip to use the following MACRO to protect:
- the clearing of Interrput Flag
- the disabling of Interrupt Enable
- the lowering of Interrupt Priority
- the modification of IPL in Status Register to 1-6
#define DISI_PROTECT(X) { \
__asm__ volatile ("DISI #0x1FFF");\
X; \
DISICNT = 0; \
}
- For example,
void _ISR _T1Interrupt( void )
{
DISI_PROTECT(IFS0bits.T1IF = 0);
//do something here...
}
UART
- 5011 provides two UART channels UxART, for x=1, 2.
- UxMODE, UxSTA, UxBRG are registers used to set the mode, indicate the status, and set the baud rate respectively.
- For UART communications compatiable with RS232 standard, an external driver (e.g. MAX3232ESE) is needed.
- For UART communications compatiable with RS485 standard, an external driver (e.g. DS3695N) is needed.
Auto baud rate detection
- The method is provided by ingenia bootloader.
- The PC sends a ASCII character 'U' (0x55) to the target board.
- On the first rising edge of the start bit, the target board starts the timer.
- At the fifth rising edge, the timer is stopped, let the count number be t_count.
- The measured period corresponds to 8 bits transmitted at a baud rate uxbrg.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _|S|_|1|_|1|_|1|_|1|_|S|_ (S = Start Bit) <---------------> Measured Time
- The relationship between uxbrg and TMR is
Measured Time (in seconds) = t_count/Fcy
uxbrg = 1/(Measured Time/8)
= 8*Fcy/t_count
- Since UxBRG is computed by:
UxBRG = (Fcy/(16*Baudrate)) -1
= (Fcy/(16*8*Fcy/t_count)) -1
= t_count/128 -1
- The following is the code for auto baud rate detection for U2ART:
unsigned int uart2_autobaud(void){
U2MODEbits.ABAUD = 1; //Enable Autobaud detect from U2RX (from IC2 if 0)
U2MODEbits.UARTEN = 1; //U2ART enable
//Timer 3 Config==========================================================
PR3 = 0xFFFF; // Set counter to maximum
_T3IF = 0; // Clear interrupt flag
_T3IE = 0; // Disable interrupt
T3CONbits.TON = 1; // Start the timer, TMR3 count up
//Input Capture Config====================================================
IC2CONbits.ICM = 3; //Detect rising
_IC2IF = 0; //Clear interrupt flag
_IC2IE = 0; //Disable interrupt
//Start Auto baud detection===============================================
unsigned int i=0;
cli(); //Disable Global Interrupt
while(!_IC2IF); //1st rising edge detected
TMR3 = 0; //Clear TMR3 to start count up
_IC2IF = 0; //Clear interrupt flag
while(!_IC2IF); //2nd rising edge detected
_IC2IF = 0; //Clear interrupt flag
while(!_IC2IF); //3rd rising edge detected
_IC2IF = 0; //Clear interrupt flag
while(!_IC2IF); //4th rising edge detected
_IC2IF = 0; //Clear interrupt flag
while(!_IC2IF); //5th rising edge detected
_IC2IF = 0; //Clear interrupt flag
T3CONbits.TON = 0; //Stop the timer
sti(); //Enable Global Interrupt
//Compute value for BRG register==========================================
unsigned int time;
time = ((TMR3+0x40)>>7)-1; //+0x40 for rounding
//========================================================================
return time;
}
- For 30MIP, tested speeds of transmission include 9600bps, 19200bps, 28800bps, 38400bps and 57600bps.
open()
- The following structures and variables are used as circular buffers for transmit and receive.
struct UART_Rx{
unsigned char wr;
unsigned char rd;
};
struct UART_Tx{
unsigned char wr;
unsigned char rd;
unsigned char tx_complete_flag;

}
write()
- This function writes a series of bytes to the circular buffer and start transmission.
int uart_write(unsigned char *buf, int count)
{
//If transimt has not completed, return busy
if(uart_tx.tx_complete_flag == 0){
return -1;
}
else{

uart_tx.wr = next_data_pos; //increment the ptr
} else break;
}
//Raise Interrupt flag to initiate transmission
_U2TXIF = 1; //Start interrupt
return byte;
}
- The interrupt routine reads from the circular buffer and send the data. The uart is opened such that the module will generate an TX Interrupt when it a byte is sent.
void _ISR _U2TXInterrupt(void){
DISI_PROTECT(_U2TXIF = 0); //Clear Interrupt Flag

}
}
read()
- The interrupt routine writes to the circular buffer when space is available.

next_data_pos = (unsigned char) U2RXREG; //Read the data from buffer
}
}
DISI_PROTECT(_U2RXIF = 0); //Clear the flag
}
- This function reads one byte from the circular buffer.
int uart_read(unsigned char *buf)
{
int next_data_pos;
next_data_pos = pre_rd_cir254buf( uart_rx.wr, uart_rx.rd, MAX_UART_RX_BUF);
//Copy 1 byte when data is available

}
I2C
- Two lines are devoted for the serial communication. SCL for clock, SDA for data.
- Standard communication speed includes
- Standard speed mode: 100kHz
- Fast speed mode: 400kHz
- High speed mode: 3.4MHz
- dsPIC30f5011 supports standard and fast speed modes. The maximum speed attainable is 1MHz.
- Pull-up resistors are required for both SCL and SDA. Minimum pull-up resistance is given by:
Pull-up resistor (min) = (Vdd-0.4)/0.003 ...... [See section 21.8 in Family reference manual]
- 2.2Kohm is typical for standard speed mode.
- After initiating a start/stop/restart bit, add a small delay (e.g. no operation) before polling the corresponding control bit (hardware controlled).
- After sending a byte and receiving an acknowledgement from the slave device, ensure to change to idle state.
open()
- The following structure is used to record whether special bits are needed to be sent.
typedef union{
unsigned char val;
struct{
unsigned START:1; //start
unsigned RESTART:1; //restart
unsigned STOP:1; //stop
unsigned NACK:1; //not acknowledgment
unsigned :1;
unsigned :1;
unsigned :1;
unsigned :1;
}bits;
} I2C_STATUS;
static I2C_STATUS i2c_status;
- Initializing I2C with default speed I2C_BRG without interrupts.
void i2c_open(void)
{
//Open i2c if not already opened

I2CCONbits.I2CEN = 1; //Enable I2C module
i2cIdle(); //I2C bus at idle state, awaiting transimission
i2c_status.val = 0; //clear status flags
}
}
ioctl()
- Use this function before read/write to append special bits before or after the data byte.
char i2c_ioctl(unsigned char request, unsigned char* argp)
{
switch(request){
case I2C_SET_STATUS:
i2c_status.val = *argp;
break;
default:
return -1; //request code not recognised
}
return 0;
}
write()
- This function sends an 8-bit data using the I2C protocol.

ADC
- 12-bit ADC: (Max 16 Channels)
- Allow a maximum of 2 sets of analog input multiplexer configurations, MUX A and MUX B (Normally use one only).
- A maximum of 200kps of sampling rate when using auto sampling mode.
open()
- The following variables are required.
unsigned int adc_buf[ADC_MAX_CH]; //Store most updated data volatile unsigned int* ADC16Ptr = &ADCBUF0; //Pointer to ADC register buffer, unsigned char adc_ch_select = 0; //Pointer to channel to be read from unsigned char adc_data_ready = 0; //Indicate if RAM data is ready for output
- Configuration is highlighted below.
- Interrupt: The ADC module will be set to interrupt when the specified channels are updated.
- I/O: Set the corresponding TRISBX bits (digit i/o config) to input (i.e. = 1), and set corresponding bits in ADPCFG (analog config) to zero.
- Scanning Mode: Scan mode is used. In this mode, the Sample and Hold (S/H) is switched between the channels specified by ADCSSL (Scan select register).
- Reference Voltage for S/H: Only MUX A is used. By default, the negative reference voltage of the S/H is connected to VREF-.
- Settings for ADC Operation: For 200kbps operation, the voltage references for the ADC voltage are connected to VREF+ and VREF-. Scan input is enabled, and the module will generate an interrupt when all selected channels have been scanned.
- Sampling Rate: TAD refers to the time unit for the ADC clock. To configure the ADC module at 200kbps, the minimum sampling time of 1TAD = 334ns is required. ADCS<5:0> in ADCON3 register is used to set the time, which is given by:
ADCS<5:0> = 2(TAD/TCY)-1
= 2(334e-9/33.34e-9)-1

read()
- 16 registers (ADCBUF0 -ADCBUF15) are dedicated to store the ADC data between interrupts. However, the data in ADCBUFx does not necessarily correspond to the data taken for channel x. Since the lowest register will always be filled first, when some of the channels are not scanned (i.e. skipped), care must be taken. The following code checks the ADCSSL register for the current scanning channels and moves the data to the corresponding position in *adc_buf.

Simple PWM (Output Compare Module)
- The PWM module consists of 8 channels using the output compare module of dsPic.
- These channels are locate at pin 46 (OC1), 49 (OC2), 50 (OC3), 51 (OC4), 52 (OC5), 53 (OC6), 54 (OC7), 55 (OC8). These pins are shared with port D.
- The range of PWM freqeuencies obtainable is 2Hz to 15MHz (See Figure 6.3). Suggested range of operation is 2Hz to 120kHz. The relationship between resolution r and PWM frequency fPWM is given by:
fPWM = fCY/(Prescale*10rlog(2))

open()
- A timer (either Timer 2 or 3) is needed to determine the pwm period. The following code uses timer 2 for all 8 channels.
void pwm_open(void){
OC1CON = 0; OC2CON = 0; //Disable all output compare modules
OC3CON = 0; OC4CON = 0;
OC5CON = 0; OC6CON = 0;
OC7CON = 0; OC8CON = 0;
//============================================================
TMR2 = 0; // Clear register
PR2 = 0xFFFF; // Set to Maximum
//============================================================
_T2IF = 0; // Clear interrupt flag
_T2IE = 0 // Enable interrupts
//============================================================
T2CONbits.TCS = 0; // Use internal clock source
T2CONbits.TCKPS = 0; // Prescale Select 1:1
//============================================================
T2CONbits.TON = 1; // Start the timer
}
ioctl()
- User should select the channel and set the pwm period using the functions below before issuing the duty cycle:
char pwm_ioctl(unsigned char request, unsigned long* argp){
unsigned int value;
unsigned char mask;
switch(request){
case PWM_SET_PERIOD:
return setPeriodNPrescale(argp[0]);
case PWM_SELECT_CH:

return 0;
default:
return -1;
}
}

unsigned long ans;
unsigned long long numerator = (unsigned long long)value_ns*SYSTEM_FREQ_MHZ;

unsigned long denominator;
//-------------------------------------------------
do{

} while(ans > 0x0000FFFF && index < 3);
//-------------------------------------------------
if(ans > 0x0000FFFF)
return -1;
//-------------------------------------------------
T2CONbits.TON = 0; // Turn off the timer
T2CONbits.TCKPS = index; // Change prescale factor
PR2 = (unsigned int) ans; // Set to Maximum
T2CONbits.TON = 1; // Turn on the timer
//-------------------------------------------------
return 0;
}
write()
- User can change the duty cycle using the following functions
int pwm_write(unsigned long* buf){
if((pwm_status & (0x01 << pwm_channel)) == 0){
return -1; //Channel has not been enabled
}
switch(pwm_channel){

OC2CONbits.OCM = 6; //Simple PWM, Fault pin disabled
break;
...
case 7:
OC8RS = calcDCycle(buf[0]); OC8R = OC8RS;
OC8CONbits.OCM = 6; //Simple PWM, Fault pin disabled
break;
default:
return -1;
}
return 4;
}
unsigned int calcDCycle(unsigned long value_ns){
unsigned long long numerator = (unsigned long long)value_ns*SYSTEM_FREQ_MHZ;
unsigned int index = T2CONbits.TCKPS;
unsigned long denominator = (unsigned long)1000*pwm_prescale[index];
return (unsigned int)(((long double)numerator/denominator) + 0.5) - 1; //round to nearest int
}
Propagration Delay
- PWM channels sharing the same timer will have their PWM signals synchronised (i.e. the HIGH state of the duty cycle are all triggered together).
- To introduced delay to the PWM signals, the signal from selected channels may be made to pass through a series of inverters (e.g. 74HC14D). This adds propagation delay to the signal.
- However, as propagration delay of logic gates depends on applied voltage, temperature and load capacitance, the accuracy is low and performance is poor. For accurate delay, delay lines may be used, but they are expensive.

DSP Library
- Library functions in <dsp.h> include the following categories:
- Vector
- Window
- Matrix
- Filtering
- Transform
- Control
Data Types
- Signed Fractional Value (1.15 data format)
- Inputs and outputs of the dsp functions adopt 1.15 data format, which consumes 16 bits to represent values between -1 to 1-2-15 inclusive.
- Bit<15> is a signed bit, positive = 0, negative = 1.
- Bit<14:0> are the exponent bits e.
- Positive value = 1 - 2-15*(32768 - e)
- Negative value = 0 - 2-15*(32768 - e)
- 40-bit Accumulator operations (9.31 data format)
- The dsp functions use the 40 bits accumalators during arithmatic calculations.
- Bit<39:31> are signed bits, positive = 0x000, negative = 0x1FF.
- Bit<30:0> are exponent bits.
- IEEE Floating Point Values
- Fractional values can be converted to Floating point values using: fo = Fract2Float(fr); for fr = [-1, 1-2-15]
- Floating point values can be converted to Fractional values using: fr = Float2Fract(fo); or fr = Q15(fo); for fo = [-1, 1-2-15]
- Float2Fract() is same as Q15(), except having saturation control. When +ve >= 1, answer = 215-1 = 32767 (0x7FFF). When -ve < -1, answer = -215 = -32767 (0x8000)
Build-in Library
- Some assembler operators can only be accessed by inline assembly code, for example,
- Manuipulation of accumulators A and B (add, sub, mul, divide, shift, clear, square)
- Bit toggling
- Access to psv (program space visiblity) page and offset
- Access to table instruction page and offset
- Built-in functions are written as C-like function calls to utilize these assembler operators.
Address Error
- Possible Causes
- Misuse of C pointers
