1.4 CCL Manchester Encoder

This example application shows how to use the CCL peripheral library and generate a Manchester-encoded output.

Description

This demonstrates a way to generate a Manchester-encoded output using a SPI port and the CCL. The SPI port is sending out a predefined buffer of data in a circular fashion. Data is sent out LSB first, with CCL_OUT being the Manchester-encoded output. The pins are configured such that a logic analyzer can be attached to see the input (MOSI and SCK) and the output (CCL_OUT) simultaneously.

Setting Up PIC32WM-BW1 Curiosity Board

  • Use jumper from RA8 (Pin 12 of XPRO Header 1) to Pin 2 of J8 connector (This routes SCK signal to CCLIN1)
  • RA7 (Pin 11 of XPRO Header 1) has MOSI output
  • RB2 (Pin 4 of XPRO Header 1) has CCL output (CCL_OUT0)
  • Connect the USB port on the board to the computer using a USB Type-C cable

Running the Application

  1. Connect a logic analyzer to MOSI pin.
  2. Connect a logic analyzer to SCK pin.
  3. Connect a logic analyzer to the Manchester-encoded output CCL_OUT pin.
  4. Refer to the following table for pin details:

  5. Build and program the application using its IDE.
  6. Observe the output on logic analyzer, it should follow the truth table as shown in the following diagram.
