6.3.2.5 External Monitoring Inputs

The AFEx8201 have two analog inputs for external voltage sensing. Channels 1 and 2 for the CCS pointer are for external monitoring inputs that can be measured by pins AIN0 and AIN1, respectively. The input range for the analog inputs is configurable to either 0 V to 1.25 V or 0 V to 2.5 V. The analog inputs conversion values are stored in straight binary format in the ADC registers. The ADC resolution can be computed by Equation 7:

Equation 7. 1   L S B = V R A N G E 2 12

where

  • VRANGE = 2.5 V for the 0‑V to 2.5‑V input range or 1.25 V for the 0‑V to 1.25‑V input range.

Figure 6-10 and Table 6-4 detail the transfer characteristics.

INPUT VOLTAGE CODE DESCRIPTION IDEAL OUTPUT CODE
≤1 LSB NFSC Negative full-scale code 000
1 LSB to 2 LSB NFSC + 1 Negative full-scale code plus 1 001
(VRANGE / 2) to (VRANGE / 2) + 1 LSB MC Midcode 800
(VRANGE / 2) + 1 LSB to (VRANGE / 2) + 2 LSB MC + 1 Midcode plus 1 801
≥ VRANGE – 1 LSB PFSC Positive full-scale code FFF

For these external monitoring inputs, the ADC is configurable for both data rate and voltage range. The data rate is set to either 640 Hz, 1280 Hz, 2560 Hz, or 3840 Hz with the ADC_CFG.CONV_RATE bits. The range of the ADC measurement is set with the ADC_CFG.AIN_RANGE bit. The ADC range is 2 × VREF when the bit = 0; the ADC range is VREF when the bit = 1.

When the ADC conversion is completed for AIN0 and AIN1, the resulting ADC data are stored in the ADC_AIN0.DATA and ADC_AIN1.DATA bits at 24h and 25h of the register map.

If the external monitoring inputs are not used, connect the AIN0 and AIN1 pins to GND through a 1-kΩ resistor.
