7.3.1.1 Input Range

The input range of the ADC is programmable, defined as VIN = ±VREF or as VIN = ±2VREF. The ±2VREF input range doubles the usable input range when using a 2.5V reference voltage. The ±2VREF input range typically improves dynamic range by +1dB. However, the inputs are required to be driven to the AVDD1 and AVSS supply rails to achieve full dynamic range (with a 2.5V reference voltage). Compared to operation with a 2.5V reference voltage, dynamic range performance improves by using 4.096V (+4dB) or 5V (+6dB) reference voltages. The ±2VREF range selection is internally forced to the ±VREF range when the high-reference range is selected (used for 4.096V or 5V reference voltages). See the CHn_INP_RNG bits of the CHn_CFG1 registers to program the input range.

In some ADC configurations, the available input range exceeds the power supply voltage. An example is when using a 3V AVDD1 power supply with a 2.5V reference voltage in the ±2VREF mode. In this case, the full ±2VREF input range is not available.

The ADC channels have the option to extend the input range by 25%. This mode provides additional headroom for the signal. Output data are scaled such that the positive and negative full-scale output codes (7FFFFFh and 800000h) occur at:

Equation 17. VIN = ±1.25 × k × VREF

where:

  • k = 1 or 2, depending on the ±VREF or ±2VREF range selection

See the CHn_CFG1 register to program the extended range option.

When the signal exceeds 110% of normal full-scale range in the extended range mode, the ADC provides valid conversion results, but SNR performance degrades due to modulator saturation. The MOD_FLAG bit of the frame-sync STATUS byte indicates when modulator saturation is occurring. See the Frame-Sync STATUS byte for details. Figure 7-4 shows SNR performance versus input amplitude in the extended range mode.
