ADC Description

The Fusion ADC is a 12-bit SAR ADC. It offers a wide variety of features for different use models.

Figure 2-78 shows a block diagram of the Fusion ADC.

ADC Theory of Operation

An analog-to-digital converter is used to capture discrete samples of a continuous analog voltage and

provide a discrete binary representation of the signal. Analog-to-digital converters are generally

characterized in three ways:

•

Input voltage range

•

Resolution

•

Bandwidth or conversion rate

The input voltage range of an ADC is determined by its reference voltage (VREF). Fusion devices

include an internal 2.56 V reference, or the user can supply an external reference of up to 3.3 V. The

following examples use the internal 2.56 V reference, so the full-scale input range of the ADC is 0 to

2.56 V.

The resolution (LSB) of the ADC is a function of the number of binary bits in the converter. The ADC

approximates the value of the input voltage using 2n steps, where n is the number of bits in the converter.

Each step therefore represents VREF÷ 2n volts. In the case of the Fusion ADC configured for 12-bit

operation, the LSB is 2.56 V / 4096 = 0.625 mV.

Finally, bandwidth is an indication of the maximum number of conversions the ADC can perform each

second. The bandwidth of an ADC is constrained by its architecture and several key performance

characteristics.
