The AFE031's PGAs along the RX path are used to amplify or attenuate the input signal to be within the desired voltage range before entering the C2000's ADC. It is desired for the signal at the ADC pin to be within the range defined by the ADC's reference voltage. For example, the F28379D LaunchPad's reference voltage is 3V; therefore, the signal should be within a range of 0 V to 3 V to prevent clipping.
For best results, this signal should be close to this voltage range, without going over or under, to utilize the full resolution of the ADC. Use the AFE031's PGAs to tune the signal to meet this criteria using the gain value settings in Figure 5-1. For how to set the RX PGA values within software, see step 10 of Section 3.1.
