LPC2138 AD converters

Started by Frank van Eijkelenburg June 18, 2008
Hi,

I am using a LPC2138 in my project. From this microcontroller I use
both AD converters. The problem I have:

channel 6 and 7 from AD0 are not working (I read the value 0 from the
ADC).

Other channels (0 to 4 of AD0) are working properly. Also AD1 is
working properly. I checked the PINSEL registers and these are
correct. What could cause the problem? Any ideas

TIA,
Frank

Solution was to pull P0.31 high during reset. According to the manual a low signal on this pin during reset will disable JTAG (which I don't use). According to the errata a low signal on this pin during reset will result in undetermined device behavior.

Thanks for the follow-up. That's a curious little bit of undocumented behavior. Eric
