Chapter 3: Digital Input Conditioning
Digital Input seems pretty cut and dried. An input voltage at Vdd is recognized as a
digital HIGH (binary 1). An input voltage at Vss (ground) is recognized as a digital
LOW (binary 0). However, what if the BASIC Stamp input is not connected to either?
What state will it assume, if any? What if the input is 2.5 V?
Devices which supply an input to the BASIC Stamp may not always provide +5 V for a
HIGH and 0 V for a LOW. It is important to understand the digital input characteristics
of the BASIC Stamp. Also important are the proper techniques of conditioning signals
from mechanical input devices such as pushbuttons. Conditioning from electronic input
devices is also frequently necessary as well.
In this chapter we will explore the input characteristics of the BASIC Stamp, the basic
operation of a BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) and mechanical and electronic switch
interfacing.
ACTIVITY #1: MEASURING THE THRESHOLD VOLTAGE
A HIGH level, or logic 1, is typically the positive voltage of the system. A LOW level,
or logic 0, is typically the negative supply, or ground reference, of the system. For the
BASIC Stamp these are labeled Vdd (+5 V) and Vss (0 V, which is “ground”).
What if the voltage at the input were 3.5 V? Is this HIGH or LOW? What about 2.5 V?
2.0 V? 1.0 V? Since a digital system only can be one of two states, at what input voltage
do the HIGH and LOW states transition? This activity will measure the threshold voltage
below which the input is LOW and above which the input is HIGH. An Analog to
Digital Converter (ADC) will be used to measure and plot the voltage levels at the input.
A full discussion of the ADC is covered in Chapter 6.
