PRODUCTION DATA
For proper operation of ADC1, the PGA absolute input voltages, VINP and VINN, must always remain within the valid PGA input range, as shown in Equation 12.
The following example uses Equation 12 to determine the input-range requirement. For this example, use a thermocouple (60 mV, maximum differential output) with the negative lead connected to the internal level-shift voltage (2.5 V). Use a PGA gain of 32 and operate the ADC with a single 5-V power supply. To verify the PGA input-range requirement, the conditions are:
Filling in Equation 12 with the values shown gives:
VAVSS + 0.3 + |VIN| · (Gain – 1) / 2 < VINP and VINN < VAVDD – 0.3 – |VIN| · (Gain – 1) / 2
= 0 + 0.3 + 0.06 · (32 – 1) / 2 < 2.5 and 2.56 < 4.75 – 0.3 – 0.06 · (32 – 1) / 2
= 1.23 V < 2.5 V and 2.56 V < 3.52 V
The inequality is satisfied, therefore the VINN and VINP absolute input voltages are within the required PGA input range. Alternatively, measure the PGA output voltages (pins CAPP and CAPN) with a voltmeter to verify that each PGA output voltage is < VAVDD – 0.3 V and > VAVSS – 0.3 V under the expected minimum and maximum input conditions, respectively.
The input range requirement of ADC2 is verified in the same way as ADC1. See Equation 15 for the ADC2 input range requirements.
