PRODUCTION DATA
When operating in high-precision mode, the device offers a 16-bit internal accumulator per channel. The accumulator for a channel is enabled only if that channel is selected in the channel scanning sequence. The accumulator adds sixteen 12-bit conversion results. The result of adding sixteen 12-bit words is one 16-bit word. The time between two consecutive conversions for accumulation is controlled by the NCLK_SEL register and Equation 3 provides the relationship for time between two consecutive conversions of same channel and nCLK parameter.
The accumulated data can be read from the
ACC_CHx_MSB and ACC_CHx_LSB registers in the
device. The ACCUMULATOR_STATUS register provides
the number of accumulations done in the
accumulator since last conversion. This register
can be read during an active sequence to get the
current status of the accumulator.
The accumulator is
reset when setting the SEQ_START bit or on
resetting the device.
Equation 4 provides the relationship between high precision data and ADC conversion results.
Equation 5 provides the value of LSB in high precision mode for the accumulated result.
