There are two fields within the ADC_CFG register: FLT_CNT and HYST. These fields are applied to the assertion and deassertion of alarm conditions for all the ADC channels.
ADC_CFG.FLT_CNT determines the maximum number of accepted consecutive failures before an alarm condition is reported. For example, if ADC_CFG.FLT_CNT is set for two counts, then three consecutive conversions must be outside of the thresholds to trigger an alarm. Each failure counts towards the FLT_CNT limit even if the failures alternate between high threshold and low threshold.
ADC_CFG.HYST sets the hysteresis used by the alarm-detection circuit. After an alarm is triggered, the hysteresis is applied before the alarm condition is released. In the case of the high threshold, the hysteresis is subtracted from the threshold value. In the case of the low threshold limit, the hysteresis is added to the threshold value.
Channels AIN0, AIN1, and TEMP have high and low thresholds associated with them. If a conversion value falls outside of these limits (that is, if TEMP < low threshold or TEMP > high threshold), an alarm condition for that channel is set. The alarms are disabled by setting 0x000 for the low threshold and 0xFFF for the high threshold, respectively. These alarms are disabled by default. Because the configuration fields for the thresholds are only eight bits wide, the four LSBs are hardcoded for each threshold. The high thresholds four LSBs are hardcoded to 0xF, and the low thresholds four LSBs are hardcoded to 0x0.
All the self diagnostic (SD) channels have fixed thresholds, except SD4, which measures the VOUT of the main DAC. The threshold for SD4 tracks the VOUT with respect to the DAC code. Table 6-7 shows the calculations used to determine the high and low ADC thresholds for each SD channel. The limits in the two right-most columns are determined by the threshold columns to the left and given some margin. The four LSBs are assigned as described previously.
SD | ADC INPUT |
ACCEPTED LOW VALUE | ACCEPTED HIGH VALUE | LOW THRESHOLD | HIGH THRESHOLD | ADC LOW (HEX) | ADC HIGH (HEX) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SD0 | VREF/2 | VREF/2 – 9% – 25 mV | VREF/2 + 9% + 25 mV | 0.54375 V | 0.70625 V | 0x6D0 | 0x92F |
SD1 | PVDD/6 | 1.65/6 – 25 mV | 6/6 + 25 mV | 0.25 V | 1.025 V | 0x310 | 0xD3F |
SD2 | VDD/2 | 1.6/2 – 25 mV | 2/2 + 25 mV | 0.775 V | 1.025 V | 0x9C0 | 0xD3F |
SD3 | 0.6 V | 0.6 V – 9% – 25 mV | 0.6 V + 9% + 25 mV | 0.521 V | 0.679 V | 0x690 | 0x8CF |
SD4 | VOUT/2 | VOUT/2 – 6 mV | VOUT/2 + 6 mV | VOUT – 12 mV | VOUT + 12 mV | Expected – 0x040 | Expected + 0x040 |
The alarm threshold for the SD4 input depends on the expected ADC measurement based on the DAC code. Equation 9 shows the expected ADC code for SD4.
