The RHFAD128 GUI
Introduction
The RHFAD128 is specifically designed to sustain ionizing dose and heavy ions for space applications by using a high-end
proven CMOS technology.
This device is a low-power, multiplexed eight-channel 12-bit analog-to-digital converter for conversion from 50 ksps to 1 Msps.
The architecture is based on the successive-approximation register with internal track-and-hold. The RHFAD128 features 8
analog inputs that can be programmed to be either 8 single-ended or 4 differential inputs using the control register bits. The
output serial data are straight binary and are compatible with SPI.
EVAL-RHFAD128V2 is the evaluation board of the RHFAD128.
This board can be connected to a NUCLEO-L476RG and be monitored with a graphical user interface (GUI): the
RHFAD128_GUI.

Software configuration
Figure 4. STLINK must be installed
3 - Launch the RHFAD128_GUI
a. Unzip the zipped folder RHFAD128_GUI.zip
Figure 5. There are two documents: RHFAD128_GUI folder containing the RHFAD128_GUI.exe to launch
on the laptop - AKI_Bin_for_NucleoL476RG.bin to upload in the Nucleo
4 - Upload the binary into the STM32 Nucleo board
Connect the Nucleo board to the PC using a USB Mini-B cable, drag and drop the binary file to the Nucleo board
(NODE_L476RG)
•
use the binary file: AKI_Bin_for_NUCLEOL476RG.bin
