G30 - Module Hardware Description
41
A/D Interface
The G30 includes 3 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) signals with 12-bit resolution, for
environmental and electrical measurements. The ADC signals measure an analog DC voltage
level on their inputs which is converted to a 12-bit digital value for further processing by G30 or
the user application.
environmental and electrical measurements. The ADC signals measure an analog DC voltage
level on their inputs which is converted to a 12-bit digital value for further processing by G30 or
the user application.
The A/D signals operation and reporting mechanism is defined by the AT+MMAD command.
Each A/D can be defined to provide several reports:
Each A/D can be defined to provide several reports:
•
A single measurement.
A single A/D measurement will take place and will be reported upon activation of the AT
command.
A single A/D measurement will take place and will be reported upon activation of the AT
command.
•
An automatic periodical measurement.
The A/D measures its input signal at a rate that is defined by the user application. Every
measurement will generate an unsolicited message over the serial interface.

measurement will generate an unsolicited message over the serial interface.
•
An automatic periodical measurement with predefined limits.
The A/D measures its input signal at a rate that is defined by the user. The user also defines
upper and/or lower limits for the A/D measurements. Each measurement is compared to
these limits, and an unsolicited message is generated only if these limits are exceeded.

Important:
In case the defined periodical measurement rate is equal to, or shorter than, the
defined sleep mode delay settings (ATS24), G30 will not enter low power mode.

Important:
Applying voltage to ADC lines before power up is forbidden and may cause G30
power up issues.

Power Supply A/D
The main power supply (VCC) is constantly monitored internally by the G30 through a dedicated
A/D signal, which is not accessible on the interface connector.

The measured VCC level can be read and monitored by the user application through the
AT+MMAD command, which returns the measured VCC level in Volts times 100.

For example, a measured supply level of 3.65 Volts will be presented as 365 by the MMAD
command.
