MUX 5 Click

MUX 5 Click is a compact add-on board that contains a precise multiplexing solution. This board features the MAX14661, a serially controlled, dual-channel analog multiplexer from Analog Devices, allowing any of the 16 pins to be connected to either common pin simultaneously in any combination. The MAX14661 features Beyond-the-Rails™ capability that allows ±5.5V signals to be passed with any supply configuration alongside a configurable host interface that supports SPI and I2C serial communications. Both modes provide individual control of each independent switch so that any combination of switches can be applied.

Click library

• Author : Stefan Filipovic
• Date : Oct 2022.
• Type : I2C/SPI type

Software Support

We provide a library for the MUX 5 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for MUX 5 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• mux5_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void mux5_cfg_setup ( mux5_cfg_t *cfg );

• mux5_init Initialization function.

err_t mux5_init ( mux5_t *ctx, mux5_cfg_t *cfg );

• mux5_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

err_t mux5_default_cfg ( mux5_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

• mux5_i2c_write_register This function writes a desired data to the selected register by using I2C serial interface.

err_t mux5_i2c_write_register ( mux5_t *ctx, uint8_t reg, uint8_t data_in );

• mux5_i2c_read_register This function reads data from the selected register by using I2C serial interface.

err_t mux5_i2c_read_register ( mux5_t *ctx, uint8_t reg, uint8_t *data_out );

• mux5_set_channels_state This function sets a desired @b ch_state of the channels selected with @b ch_mask.

err_t mux5_set_channels_state ( mux5_t *ctx, uint16_t ch_mask, uint8_t ch_state );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of MUX 5 Click board by mapping the common connection A and B to different channels every 5 seconds.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    mux5_cfg_t mux5_cfg;  /**< Click config object. */

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );

    // Click initialization.
    mux5_cfg_setup( &mux5_cfg );
    MUX5_MAP_MIKROBUS( mux5_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( MUX5_OK != mux5_init( &mux5, &mux5_cfg ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    if ( MUX5_OK != mux5_default_cfg ( &mux5 ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Maps the common connection A and B to different channels every 5 seconds, and displays the channels state on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void )
{
    static uint8_t ch_num = 0;
    if ( MUX5_OK == mux5_set_channels_state ( &mux5, MUX5_CHANNEL_ALL, MUX5_CHANNEL_STATE_HIGH_Z ) )
    {
        log_printf ( &logger, " All channels disconnected\r\n" );
    }
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    if ( MUX5_OK == mux5_set_channels_state ( &mux5, MUX5_CHANNEL_1 << ch_num, MUX5_CHANNEL_STATE_COM_A ) )
    {
        log_printf ( &logger, " Channel %u connected to COM_A\r\n", ( uint16_t ) ( ch_num + 1 ) );
    }
    if ( MUX5_OK == mux5_set_channels_state ( &mux5, MUX5_CHANNEL_16 >> ch_num, MUX5_CHANNEL_STATE_COM_B ) )
    {
        log_printf ( &logger, " Channel %u connected to COM_B\r\n\n", ( uint16_t ) ( 16 - ch_num ) );
    }
    if ( ++ch_num >= 16 )
    {
        ch_num = 0;
    }
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.MUX5

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
