Chapter 10: Analog Capture Circuit
R
Digital Outputs from Analog Inputs
The analog capture circuit converts the analog voltage on VINA or VINB and converts it to
a 14-bit digital representation, D[13:0], as expressed by Equation 10-1.
Equation 10-1
The GAIN is the current setting loaded into the programmable pre-amplifier. The various
allowable settings for GAIN and allowable voltages applied to the VINA and VINB inputs
appear in Table 10-2.
The reference voltage for the amplifier and the ADC is 1.65V, generated via a voltage
divider shown in Figure 10-2. Consequently, 1.65V is subtracted from the input voltage on
VINA or VINB.
The maximum range of the ADC is r1.25V, centered around the reference voltage, 1.65V.
Hence, 1.25V appears in the denominator to scale the analog input accordingly.
Finally, the ADC presents a 14-bit, two’s complement digital output. A 14-bit, two’s
complement number represents values between -2
13
and 2
13
-1. Therefore, the quantity is
scaled by 8192, or 2
13
.
See “Programmable Pre-Amplifier” to control the GAIN settings on the programmable
pre-amplifier.
