How to solve the problem that the reading fluctuation is very large when the 51 single-chip microcomputer uses ADC0808 in the physical object?

When using ADC0808 in a 51 single-chip microcomputer to read analog signals, if it is found that the reading fluctuation is very large, the following several methods can be tried to solve this problem:

  1. Check the power supply: Ensure the stability of the power supply of ADC0808 and the 51 single-chip microcomputer, and avoid unstable readings due to power supply fluctuations. A voltage regulator or filter capacitor can be used to improve the stability of the power supply.
  2. Check the ground wire: Ensure good ground wire connection between ADC0808 and the 51 single-chip microcomputer to avoid reading fluctuations caused by ground wire problems.
  3. Check the input signal: Check the stability of the input signal and ensure that there is no problem with the signal source. If the signal source is unstable, a filter can be considered to reduce noise.
  4. Check the clock of ADC0808: Ensure the stability of the clock signal of ADC0808, and a crystal oscillator or external clock source can be used to provide a stable clock signal.
  5. Software filtering: In the program of the 51 single-chip microcomputer, the method of software filtering can be used to reduce the reading fluctuation. For example, methods such as moving average filtering and median filtering can be used.
  6. Check the reference voltage of ADC0808: Ensure the stability of the reference voltage of ADC0808, and a stable reference voltage source can be used to provide the reference voltage.
  7. Check the connection of ADC0808: Check whether the connection between ADC0808 and the 51 single-chip microcomputer is correct, and ensure that the data lines, control lines and other connections are correct.
  8. Check the program of the 51 single-chip microcomputer: Check whether there is a problem in the program of the 51 single-chip microcomputer, and ensure that the operations such as initialization and reading of ADC0808 are correct.

Through the above methods, the problem of large reading fluctuation when using ADC0808 in a 51 single-chip microcomputer can be gradually investigated and solved. I hope it will be helpful to you!
