 +====== Cora Z7 XADC Demo ======
 +
 +{{:reference:programmable-logic:cora-z7:demos:cora_xadc_2.jpg?600|}}
 +
 +----
 +===== Description =====
 +
 +This project demonstrates how to use the Cora Z7's ZYNQ FPGA's analog-to-digital core (referred to as the XADC) with a ZYNQ processor.
 +  * A channel select index can be incremented by pressing button 0 and decremented by pressing button 1
 +  * RGB LED 0 is used to show the sign of the selected analog input
 +  * A serial terminal connection is used to view the voltage value
 +
 +----
 +===== Inventory =====
 +
 +  * Cora Z7 with a MicroUSB Programming Cable
 +  * Vivado and Vitis installation compatible with the latest release of this demo (2020.1)
 +    * //See [[programmable-logic:guides:installing-vivado-and-vitis|Installing Vivado, Vitis, and Digilent Board Files]] for installation instructions.//
 +  * Serial Terminal application to receive messages printed by the demo
 +    * //See [[programmable-logic:guides:serial-terminals:start]] for more information.//
 +  * Wires and a circuit to measure
 +
 +----
 +===== Download and Usage Instructions =====
 +
 +First and foremost, releases - consisting of a set of files for download - are only compatible with a specific version of the Xilinx tools, as specified in the name of the release (referred to as a //release tag//). In addition, releases are only compatible with the specified variant of the board. For example, a release tagged "20/DMA/2020.1" for the Zybo Z7 is only to be used with the -20 variant of the board and Vivado 2020.1.
 +
 +The latest release version for this demo is highlighted in green.
 +
 +**Note:** //Releases for FPGA demos from before 2020.1 used a different git structure, and used a different release tag naming scheme.//

 +
 +Plug the microUSB programming cable into the Cora Z7's PROG/UART port.
 +Set up your circuit. In our case, we used 8 1k ohm resistors in series.

 +Additional steps beyond here present how you can use the other archive provided in the release, containing the hardware project, to rebuild the Vivado project, and use a newly exported XSA file to update the platform in Vitis.

 +===== Functionality =====
 +
 +
 +==== 1. Pushbuttons  ====
 +
 +The channel select index can be incremented by pressing button 0 and decremented by pressing button 1. The following channels can be selected:
 +
 +^ Analog Input/s                           ^ Index  |
 +| VP/VN Dedicated Differential Input       | 0  |
 +| Shield Header A6-A7 Differential Input   | 1  |
 +| Shield Header A8-A9 Differential Input   | 2  |
 +| Shield Header A10-A11 Differential Input | 3  |
 +| Shield Header A0 Single-Ended Input      | 4  |
 +| Shield Header A1 Single-Ended Input      | 5  |
 +| Shield Header A2 Single-Ended Input      | 6  |
 +| Shield Header A3 Single-Ended Input      | 7  |
 +| Shield Header A4 Single-Ended Input      | 8  |
 +| Shield Header A5 Single-Ended Input      | 9  |
 +
 +==== 2. XADC & RGB LED ====
 +
 +<WRAP round center important>
 +**Warning:** Take care not to drive analog inputs below the Cora's ground or above 1.0V (for differential inputs) or above 3.3V (for single-ended inputs). Differential inputs operating in Bipolar mode provide negative readings when the negative input pin of the pair has a higher voltage than the positive, however, this does NOT imply that these inputs can safely be driven below the system ground.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +RGB LED 0 is used to show the sign of the selected analog input. 
 +
 +If the voltage read by the selected input is greater than 0.5 Volts, the RGB LED is green; if the voltage read is less than -0.5 Volts, the RGB LED is red. The value is also displayed on the Serial Terminal Emulator connection.
