Today, we will begin discussing the ADC0804. Can anyone tell me what an ADC does?
It converts analog signals into digital signals?
Exactly! ADC stands for Analog-to-Digital Converter. The ADC0804 is an 8-bit ADC, meaning it produces a digital output that can represent values from 0 to 255. Let’s remember that with the acronym ADC: 'A' is for Analog, 'D' for Digital.
What kind of analog signals does it work with?
Good question! It can work with various signals like voltage from sensors, sound, and temperature readings. Remember, ADCs are essential for integrating the analog world into the digital realm.

○ Connect ADC0804 D0-D7 to the microprocessor's D0-D7 data bus.
○ Connect VIN+ to the output of a potentiometer (variable voltage source, 0-5V). Connect VIN- to ground.
○ Connect V_REF/2 to +2.5V (for a 0-5V input range, V_REF = 5V. If V_REF is tied to VCC, it sets the max input). Typically, V_REF/2 is connected to VCC/2 or a dedicated 2.5V source. If V_REF is left open, it defaults to VCC.
○ Provide a clock source: For internal clock, connect 10k Ohm resistor between CLK R and CLK IN, and 150 pF capacitor between CLK IN and ground.
○ Connect Power Supply pins: VCC to +5V, GND to ground.
○ Control Signals:
■ overlineCS (Chip Select): Connect to I/O address decode output (e.g., Port 41H).
■ overlineRD (Read): Connect to microprocessor's overlineRD signal (for I/O read).
■ overlineWR (Write): Connect to microprocessor's overlineWR signal (for I/O write).
■ INTR (Interrupt): Connect to a status bit that the microprocessor can poll (e.g., a data line from an input port). For simple polling, connect INTR to D0 or D7 of an input port and read that port. Alternatively, use a ready pin if the trainer kit has one.
○ Output Display: Connect D0-D7 of the ADC to 8 LEDs with current limiting resistors, or to an LCD module for display.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk describes how to connect the ADC0804 to a microprocessor such as the 8085. The ADC0804 has several pins which need to be connected to the microprocessor's data bus and the necessary power supply. The data output pins D0-D7 send digital data from the ADC to the microprocessor. The analog input is connected to VIN+, which comes from a potentiometer (a device that allows you to vary the voltage) and VIN- is grounded. A reference voltage, V_REF/2, is set to +2.5V, which is critical for converting the analog signals correctly. Additionally, control signals manage the read and write operations with the microprocessor. Finally, the output of the ADC can be displayed on LEDs or an LCD, making it easy to visualize the converted data.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are trying to turn the volume up on a radio. The potentiometer acts like your volume knob, adjusting the sound level going into the ADC (your radio receiver). The ADC then takes that sound level (analog signal), translates it into digital values (like how loud the sound is), and sends these values to the computer (microprocessor) for display. Just as you visually see the volume change on a dial, the LED or LCD shows the digital representation of the analog input.

○ Aim: Read analog voltage from potentiometer, convert to digital, and display on LEDs/LCD.
○ Microprocessor: 8085 (example, similar logic for 8086)
○ Port Addresses: Assume ADC overlineWR is at Port 41H (dummy write to start conversion), and ADC overlineRD data is at Port 41H (actual read). Assume INTR is connected to bit D7 of Input Port 42H.
○ Assembly Code:
; 8085 Assembly Code for ADC Read and Display
ORG 0000H
; Initialize (if necessary, for LCD or LED segment drivers)
; For direct LED connection, no special init needed
START_CONVERSION:
MVI A, 00H ; Dummy data
OUT 41H ; Send pulse to ADC WR to start conversion.
; This OUT instruction asserts WR (low) and selects port 41H
; (assuming 41H is decoded for ADC WR)
WAIT_FOR_CONVERSION:
IN 42H ; Read status of INTR (e.g., from D7 of Port 42H)
ANI 80H ; Mask all bits except D7 (INTR connected to D7)
JNZ WAIT_FOR_CONVERSION ; Loop until INTR goes low (D7 becomes 0)
; If INTR is active low, it means D7 should be 0.
; So, JNZ means "If D7 is NOT 0, keep waiting"
READ_ADC_DATA:
IN 41H ; Read digital data from ADC (Port 41H)
; This IN instruction asserts RD (low) and selects port 41H
; (assuming 41H is decoded for ADC RD)
MOV B, A ; Store the digital value in B register (for observation/display)
; Optional: Display B on LEDs or LCD
; If LEDs connected directly to data bus for output (e.g., through a latch)
; OUT LED_PORT ; Replace LED_PORT with actual output port for LEDs
HLT ; Halt
; Consider a loop to continuously read and display if desired.
; JMP START_CONVERSION ; Uncomment for continuous operation
Detailed Explanation
This chunk explains the assembly program specifically designed for reading the analog voltage from a potentiometer using the ADC0804. The program first initializes any necessary settings and then sends a dummy data pulse to the ADC to start the conversion process. It waits for the ADC conversion to complete by checking the INTR signal from an input port. Once the ADC signals that it's ready (when INTR goes low), the program reads the converted digital data from the ADC and stores it for display. The optional part of the code allows for output to an LED or LCD, showing the user the digital representation of their analog input. The program can also be modified to continuously read and display data.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this assembly program as a recipe for cooking a meal. First, you prepare the ingredients (initialize settings), then you tell the chef (ADC) to start cooking (send a signal to begin conversion). While cooking, you keep an eye on the timer (waiting for INTR to indicate it's done). Once the meal is ready, you taste it (read the digital data) and decide whether to serve it or make adjustments (displaying on LEDs or an LCD). This process allows you to see how the changes in the ingredients (analog signal from the potentiometer) affect the final dish (digital output).

■ Vary the potentiometer connected to VIN+ of the ADC.
■ Observe the LEDs (or LCD). The binary pattern on the LEDs should change, reflecting the analog voltage from the potentiometer.
■ Measure the analog input voltage using a DVM and compare it with the displayed digital output.
■ Numerical Example:
■ If potentiometer is set to 2.5V, and ADC is 8-bit with 5V V_REF, the expected digital output is 80H (128 decimal).
■ If LEDs are connected to D0-D7, you should see D7 glowing, and all lower bits off.
■ If potentiometer is set to 1.25V, expected digital output is 40H (64 decimal).
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we discuss how to observe the results of the ADC0804's operation in a practical setup. By varying the potentiometer, students can see how the output changes in real-time on the LEDs or LCD. The program converts the analog input into digital data; thus, as the voltage changes, so will the digital output. Additionally, by measuring the actual voltage with a Digital Voltmeter (DVM), students can compare it with what the ADC displays, helping reinforce their understanding of accuracy and resolution in ADC operations. This part emphasizes the relationship between analog input and digital output, illustrating how slight changes in voltage lead to tangible changes in digital representation.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you're tuning a thermostat. As you increase the temperature setting (analog input through the potentiometer), you can see the digital display showing the new temperature on the screen. If the temperature is set to 2.5°C, the display shows 80 in binary, indicating it's at a comfortable level. If you adjust it to a cooler 1.25°C, the display changes to 40, showing that the room needs to cool down. Just like with the thermostat, adjusting the potentiometer directly influences the reading displayed, making it an interactive and dynamic learning experience.
