PRODUCTION DATA
Enabling global-chop mode of ADC1y changes the overcurrent detection behavior of OCCy when ADC1y is converting. The OCCy digital fast filter resets each time ADC1y inverts the polarity of the analog inputs. After every fast filter reset, the device ignores the first two conversions of the OCCy filter because these conversions are unsettled. The device does not increment the OCCy_NUM counter for these two conversions. Depending on the OCCy_NUM and OSR1y settings, the overcurrent indication response time in global-chop mode can therefore be longer compared to when global-chop mode is disabled. The difference in response time is most noticeable when using large OCCy_NUM and small OSR1y settings.
Figure 9-21 shows an example of the OCCy behavior with OSR1y = 128. The OCCy DRDYn signal indicates when conversions of the OCCy fast filter complete. This signal is internal only and is not accessible by the host. In this specific example, the OCCy_NUM counter only manages to increment four times per ADC1y conversion period. If OCCy_NUM = 8, up to two full ADC1y conversion periods are required before the OCCy_NUM counter reaches 8. Which means that the overcurrent detection time increases from 8 × 64 / fMOD (global-chop mode disabled) to 12 × 64 / fMOD (global-chop mode enabled).
