The AUX ADC path serves as a redundancy path to the main ADC measurement on cell voltage measurements and the bus bar measurement. It also has the front end filters of a BCI filter and an AAF filter in the AUX ADC path. However, unlike the main ADC path with an individual front end filter for each channel, the cell voltages (taken from the CB0 to CB16 pins) and bus bar (taken from BBP and BBN pins) inputs in the AUX path are multiplexed to share the same BCI filter and AAF filter.
Because the front end filters are shared, the device has to wait for the AAF filter to settle before making any valid CB channel or BB channel measurement. The default AAF fcutoff is 1.3 kHz as in the main ADC path, which translates to additional 4-ms settling time to complete a single CB or BB channel measurement. As this AUX path is intended for diagnostic use as an option for the MCU to reduce the diagnostic time, the device provides four AAF settling time options seen in the Table 12-1. The settling time is configured by the ADC_CONF1[AUX_SETTLE1:0] bits. Configure the AUX CELL settling time as listed in Table 12-1. If a longer settling time is allowed, the measurement will be more accurate.
