PRODUCTION DATA
The integrated 16-bit ADC of the device allows the user to get critical system information for optimizing the behavior of the charger control. The control of the ADC is done through the ADC_CTRL register. The ADC_EN bit provides the ability to enable and disable the ADC to conserve power. The ADC_RATE bit allows continuous conversion or one-shot behavior. The ADC_AVG_DIS bit enbles or disables averaging
To enable the ADC, the ADC_EN bit must be set to ‘1’. The ADC is allowed to operate if either the VVBUS>VBUSPRESENT or VVOUT>VOUTPRESENT is valid. If ADC_EN is set to ‘1’ before VBUS or VOUT reach their respective PRESENT threshold, then the ADC conversion will be postponed until one of the power supplies reaches the threshold.
The ADC_SAMPLE bits control the sample speed of the ADC, with conversion times of tADC_CONV. The integrated ADC has two rate conversion options: a 1-Shot Mode and a Continuous Conversion Mode set by the ADC_RATE bit. By default, all ADC parameters will be converted in 1-Shot or Continuous Conversion Mode unless disabled in the ADC_FN_DIS register. If an ADC parameter is disabled by setting the correcsponding bit in the ADC_FN_DIS register, then the value in that register will be from the last valid ADC conversion or the default POR value (all zeros if no conversions have taken place). If an ADC parameter is disabled in the middle of an ADC measurement cycle, the device will finish the conversion of that parameter, but will not convert the parameter starting the next conversion cycle. Even though no conversion takes place when all ADC measurement parameters are disabled, the ADC circuitry is active and ready to begin conversion as soon as one of the bits in the ADC_FN_DIS register is set to ‘0’.
The ADC_DONE_* bits signal when a conversion is complete in 1-Shot Mode only. During Continuous Conversion Mode, the ADC_DONE_* bits have no meaning and will be ‘0’.
ADC conversion operates independently of the faults present in the device. ADC conversion will continue even after a fault has occurred (such as one that causes the power stage to be disabled), and the host must set ADC_EN = ‘0’ to disable the ADC. ADC readings are only valid for DC states and not for transients. When the host writes ADC_EN = ‘0’, the ADC stops immediately. If the host wants to exit ADC more gracefully, it is possible to do either of the following:
