PRODUCTION DATA
The +12V inputs require external scaling resistors. The resistors need to scale 12V down to 0.927V.
To calculate the required ratio of R1 to R2 use this equation:
It is recommended that the equivalent thevenin resistance of the divider be between 1k and 7k to minimize errors caused by leakage currents at extreme temperatures. The best values for the resistors are: R1=13.7 kΩ and R2=1.15 kΩ. This yields a ratio of 11.94498, which has a +0.27% deviation from the theoretical. It is also recommended that the resistors have ±1% tolerance or better.
Each LSB in the voltage value registers has a weight of 12V / 192 = 62.5 mV. To calculate the actual voltage of the +12V power input, use the following equation:
