#171139 - Configured as push-pull?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Yash said:
I am monitoring temperature using an ADC0848(8 input channel ADC). However the digital output of the circuit remains fixed at 1111 1111 even after the end of conversion( actually,the 8 bit output remains the same as that of the port of my microcontroller board where it being given. In the above instance , since I have made the port an input port by making it 1111 1111, the output also remains the same after EOC)

If you write a "1" to a port pin of a standard 8051, then the port behaves like an input, being able to accept high level and low level from a driver. But only if the port is set to quasi-bidirectional mode. Modern clones of 8051 can have the port configured as push-pull-output, emitting a strong "1" after writing a "1" to the port pin. Then, the port cannot accept low level, but tries to force a "1", which results in a short circuit condition of course, very probably damaging the micro or the driving circuit.

So, take care that the port isn't configured as push-pull-output!!

Which micro do we talk about here?

      CS and RD working.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Wrong understanding of ADC!            01/01/70 00:00      
            But according to Mazidi...            01/01/70 00:00      
               No, you don't!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Sorry!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     How do you see that?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        The LCD shows a 255.            01/01/70 00:00      
                           But this can have zillions of reasons...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Never retype source code when posting            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Working! But with errors...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           You must convert raw ADC reading into temperature            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Self-heating?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Configured as push-pull?            01/01/70 00:00      
      It's a P89v51RD2            01/01/70 00:00      
         Difference only noticeable if contention            01/01/70 00:00      
         then STOP what you are doing            01/01/70 00:00
