called a binary search. In simple terms a binary search is able to eliminate half the
available possibilities in a single test.
possibilities can be checked with very few tests.
In the Get_ADC subroutine the variable called bias is used to split the available
possibilities, hence it starts at 128 before entering the loop. In the working part of
the test loop bias is added to adcVal – this voltage is output via PWM to one side
of the comparator.
If the unknown voltage is lower than the current test voltage (in adcVal), the
current value of bias is removed before bias is divided for the next test. The new
value of bias is added to adcVal and the comparator is checked again. This process
is repeated until bias is divided down to zero – this takes eight iterations of the test
loop to “find” the unknown voltage, no matter what that voltage is. This is far
quicker than the slow method presented above.
The table below illustrates the test loop with a voltage input of 3.3 volts (168
counts):
Note that the input is actually determined by Step 5, but the nature of the algorithm
requires it to run all the way through until bias is divided down to zero.
