Hello friends,

Thank you so much for quick and positive response to all of the members.
After commenting the following lines, the adc program is using
approximation method.
  if(buffer[i] != 0xFF)
        virgin = FALSE;

Also I have understood the working of ADC from page no 33 of
EP9301_PP5.pdf. From the diagram it is clear that the Digital value
will be ranging from 9E58 to FFFF and 0000 to 61A8 total of 50k counts
which will map 0 to 3.3 volts.

 I have few questions ::
1) Now without giving any input voltage the output using approximation
method as shown below. How the program is giving 1.665 count when the
input value is 0 voltage ? 
No calibration values found...
Channel 0: 1.665V
Channel 1: 1.665V
Channel 2: 1.665V
Channel 3: 1.665V
Channel 4: 1.665V

2) Now when i apply constant voltage of 1.5 volt on pin no 4 of DIO1
Header. and then i ran the program i find the different outputs values
on every execution even when the applied voltages are same ?

Here is the outputs Both for 1.5 Volt & same current
A)
No calibration values found...
Channel 0: 2.641V
Channel 1: 1.670V
Channel 2: 1.665V
Channel 3: 1.665V
Channel 4: 1.665V
B) No calibration values found...
Channel 0: 0.319V
Channel 1: 1.665V
Channel 2: 1.665V
Channel 3: 1.665V
Channel 4: 1.665V

Any kind of suggetions are highly appreciated .. 

Thank You..

Ankur. 

Have a Nice time and good day ahead..
