1.1 AC Sleepwalking

This example application shows how to use the AC Peripheral library to perform a single shot comparison in standby sleep mode periodically and wake up the device at the end of a successful comparison.

Description

Single shot conversion is triggered by RTC compare event. Generation of a trigger and compare operation are done while the CPU is in the standby sleep mode. AC generates the interrupt on the end of the comparison which wakes the CPU.

Setting Up WBZ653 Curiosity Board

Connect the TX pin of mikroBUS1 to GND.
Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable.

Running the Application

Open the Terminal application (Ex.:Tera term) on the computer
Connect to the Virtual COM port and configure the serial settings as follows:
- Baud : 115200
- Data : 8 Bits
- Parity : None
- Stop : 1 Bit
- Flow Control : None
Build and Program the application using its IDE
Observe output message in console as follows:
Console displays the message stating whether voltage at AC input is lower or greater than the internal bandgap voltage (1.1 V)
LED toggles when comparison is done

Below table shows the AC input pin and LED name for the board:
