# PSoC™ 4 class-B safety test: Analog peripherals
This code example demonstrates the use of the Class-B Safety Test Library to test the Analog peripherals like, Comparator, OpAmp, and ADC in the PSoC™ 4 MCU. The example verifies the proper operation and accuracy of these peripherals .
## Requirements
- [ModusToolbox™ software](https://www.infineon.com/modustoolbox) v3.1 or later (tested with v3.1)
- Board support package (BSP) minimum required version: 3.0.0
- Programming language: C
- Associated parts: [PSoC™ 4500S, and PSoC™ 4100S Max](https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/microcontroller/32-bit-psoc-arm-cortex-microcontroller/psoc-4-32-bit-arm-cortex-m0-mcu/)
## Supported toolchains (make variable 'TOOLCHAIN')
- GNU Arm® Embedded Compiler v11.3.1 (`GCC_ARM`) - Default value of `TOOLCHAIN`
- IAR C/C++ Compiler v9.30.1 (`IAR`)
## Supported kits (make variable 'TARGET')
- [PSoC™ 4100S Max Pioneer Kit](https://www.infineon.com/CY8CKIT-041S-MAX) (`CY8CKIT-041S-MAX`) - Default value of `TARGET`
- [PSoC™ 4500S Pioneer Kit](https://www.infineon.com/CY8CKIT-045S) (`CY8CKIT-045S`)
## Hardware setup
This example requires minor hardware modifications in default BSP based on the test modes supported. See the kit user guide to ensure that the board is configured correctly.
The example supports three test modes. which can be configured using *SelfTest_Analog.h* file from STL MW.
1. ANALOG_TEST_VREF_EXTERNAL: This mode requires a triple resistor voltage divider between VDDA and GND. Connect VDDA/3 to a pin that is connected to AMUXBUS A. Connect (VDDA*2)/3 from the voltage divider to a pin that is connected to AMUXBUS B. This mode works on **all PSoC™ 4 Kits** supported in this library.
2. ANALOG_TEST_VREF_DUAL_MSC: No external connections are required. All routing is internal using the AMUXBUS. It uses the two internal MSCv3 blocks to route VREF(1.2V) and VDDA/2 to the AMUXBUS, which the tests can use. This mode only works with the **PSoC™ 4100S MAX** family of PSoC™ since they have two instances of MSCv3.
3. ANALOG_TEST_VREF_CSD_IDAC: It requires a 4.7K Ohm pull-down resistor between a pin connected to AMUXBUSA and GND, as well as another 4.7K Ohm pull-down resistor between a pin connected to AMUXBUS B and GND. It uses an internal CSD IDAC to generate a voltage from an external pull-down resistor. This mode only works on the **PSoC™ 4500S, 4100S, and 4100S Plus 256K** family of PSoC since they have the CSDv2 hardware block.
| BSP | AMUXBUS A pin | AMUXBUS B pin |
| --------------- | ------ | ----- |
|CY8CKIT-041S-MAX | P2.4 | P2.5 |
| CY8CKIT-045S | P2.1 | P2.2 |
## Software setup
Install a terminal emulator if you don't have one. Instructions in this document use [Tera Term](https://ttssh2.osdn.jp/index.html.en).
This example requires no additional software or tools.
## Using the code example
Create the project and open it using one of the following:
<details><summary><b>In Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software</b></summary>
1. Click the **New Application** link in the **Quick Panel** (or, use **File** > **New** > **ModusToolbox&trade; Application**). This launches the [Project Creator](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxProjectCreator) tool.
2. Pick a kit supported by the code example from the list shown in the **Project Creator - Choose Board Support Package (BSP)** dialog.
When you select a supported kit, the example is reconfigured automatically to work with the kit. To work with a different supported kit later, use the [Library Manager](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxLibraryManager) to choose the BSP for the supported kit. You can use the Library Manager to select or update the BSP and firmware libraries used in this application. To access the Library Manager, click the link from the **Quick Panel**.
You can also just start the application creation process again and select a different kit.
If you want to use the application for a kit not listed here, you may need to update the source files. If the kit does not have the required resources, the application may not work.
3. In the **Project Creator - Select Application** dialog, choose the example by enabling the checkbox.
4. (Optional) Change the suggested **New Application Name**.
5. The **Application(s) Root Path** defaults to the Eclipse workspace which is usually the desired location for the application. If you want to store the application in a different location, you can change the *Application(s) Root Path* value. Applications that share libraries should be in the same root path.
6. Click **Create** to complete the application creation process.
For more details, see the [Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide](https://www.infineon.com/MTBEclipseIDEUserGuide) (locally available at *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/docs_{version}/mt_ide_user_guide.pdf*).
</details>
<details><summary><b>In command-line interface (CLI)</b></summary>
ModusToolbox&trade; software provides the Project Creator as both a GUI tool and the command line tool, "project-creator-cli". The CLI tool can be used to create applications from a CLI terminal or from within batch files or shell scripts. This tool is available in the *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/tools_{version}/project-creator/* directory.
Use a CLI terminal to invoke the "project-creator-cli" tool. On Windows, use the command line "modus-shell" program provided in the ModusToolbox&trade; software installation instead of a standard Windows command-line application. This shell provides access to all ModusToolbox&trade; software tools. You can access it by typing `modus-shell` in the search box in the Windows menu. In Linux and macOS, you can use any terminal application.
The "project-creator-cli" tool has the following arguments:
Argument | Description | Required/optional
---------|-------------|-----------
`--board-id` | Defined in the `<id>` field of the [BSP](https://github.com/Infineon?q=bsp-manifest&type=&language=&sort=) manifest | Required
`--app-id` | Defined in the `<id>` field of the [CE](https://github.com/Infineon?q=ce-manifest&type=&language=&sort=) manifest | Required
`--target-dir`| Specify the directory in which the application is to be created if you prefer not to use the default current working directory | Optional
`--user-app-name`| Specify the name of the application if you prefer to have a name other than the example's default name | Optional
<br>
The following example clones the "[PSoC&trade; 4 class-B safety test: Analog peripherals](https://github.com/Infineon/mtb-example-psoc4-safety-analog-test)" application with the desired name "AnalogTest" configured for the *CY8CKIT-041S-MAX* BSP into the specified working directory *C:/mtb_projects*:
```
project-creator-cli --board-id CY8CKIT-041S-MAX --app-id mtb-example-psoc4-safety-analog-test --user-app-name AnalogTest --target-dir "C:/mtb_projects"
```
**Note:** The project-creator-cli tool uses the `git clone` and `make getlibs` commands to fetch the repository and import the required libraries. For details, see the "Project creator tools" section of the [ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxUserGuide) (locally available at *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/docs_{version}/mtb_user_guide.pdf*).
To work with a different supported kit later, use the [Library Manager](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxLibraryManager) to choose the BSP for the supported kit. You can invoke the Library Manager GUI tool from the terminal using `make library-manager` command or use the Library Manager CLI tool "library-manager-cli" to change the BSP.
The "library-manager-cli" tool has the following arguments:
Argument | Description | Required/optional
---------|-------------|-----------
`--add-bsp-name` | Name of the BSP that should be added to the application | Required
`--set-active-bsp` | Name of the BSP that should be as active BSP for the application | Required
`--add-bsp-version`| Specify the version of the BSP that should be added to the application if you do not wish to use the latest from manifest | Optional
`--add-bsp-location`| Specify the location of the BSP (local/shared) if you prefer to add the BSP in a shared path | Optional
<br>
Following example adds the CY8CKIT-045S BSP to the already created application and makes it the active BSP for the app:
```
~/ModusToolbox/tools_3.1/library-manager/library-manager-cli --project "C:/mtb_projects/AnalogTest" --add-bsp-name CY8CKIT-045S --add-bsp-version "latest-v3.X" --add-bsp-location "local"
~/ModusToolbox/tools_3.1/library-manager/library-manager-cli --project "C:/mtb_projects/AnalogTest" --set-active-bsp APP_CY8CKIT-045S
```

make program TOOLCHAIN=GCC_ARM
```
</details>
5. After programming, the application starts automatically. Confirm that **Class B Safety test: Analog Peripherals** is displayed on the UART terminal.
6. The serial terminal should display the result of the Analog test.
## Debugging
You can debug the example to step through the code. In the IDE, use the **\<Application Name> Debug (KitProg3_MiniProg4)** configuration in the **Quick Panel**. For details, see the "Program and debug" section in the [Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide](https://www.infineon.com/MTBEclipseIDEUserGuide).
## Design and Implementation
The example demonstrates an Analog Test for three key analog peripherals: the Comparator, OpAmp, and ADC in the PSoC&trade; 4 MCU. It utilizes the Class-B Safety Test Library to execute these tests. The example supports both internal and external hardware voltage references, depending on the selected test modes: Dual MSC, External, and CSD IDAC. See the [Hardware Setup](#hardware-setup) section for detailed connection instructions.
The implementation proceeds as follows:
1. The example starts by initializing the BSP configuration as per the design configurations and setting up the retarget-io for debug prints.
2. The code then saves the user's SARSEQ ADC routing and initializes the ADC, enabling it.
3. Two GPIO pins are initialized as analog inputs and connected to AMUXBUS A and AMUXBUS B. The AMUXBUS routing is configured according to the application's needs.
4. The voltage reference configurations are set based on the requirements and selected test mode.
5. The code then proceeds to perform the following tests:
- **Comparator Test**:
- This test focuses on the analog comparator. It connects the comparator to GPIO pins, allowing selection of two voltage references on AMUXBUS A and AMUXBUS B.
- The test verifies if the comparator output aligns with the expected result. A non-zero value indicates that the positive input voltage is anticipated to be greater than the negative input voltage.
- **OpAmp Test**:
- The OpAmp test examines the operational amplifier functionality. It connects the OpAmp to the ADC and utilizes GPIO pins as a multiplexer to choose various voltage references on AMUXBUS A and AMUXBUS B.
- By comparing the measured voltage against the anticipated outcome within a defined accuracy range, this test ensures that the OpAmp operates correctly and generates the expected output voltage.
- **ADC Test**:
- The ADC test focuses on the Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and offers flexibility in choosing between internal and external voltage references.
- By measuring the voltage on a specific channel and comparing it against the expected result within a defined accuracy range, this test validates the accuracy and functionality of the ADC in converting analog signals to digital values.
6. Once the tests are completed, the code restores the user's SAR ADC configurations.
Ensure that you include the necessary header files, function declarations, and adjust the configuration structures and hardware instances to suit your specific platform and requirements.
