hi all,
a customer of mine is using the ADC12DJ3200 and is facing some challenges with the background calibration.
They have used background calibration and it was creating DC steps at the signal (when converters were changing). This degrades the performance. By disabling background calibration they noticed better performance even when operating at our full temperature range (-40degC to 55degC).
From the behavior of the device in tests up to now, background calibration is not a must.
The questions are:
- how to decide enabling background calibration? For example if temperature changes by 20degC?
- Would you consider adequate enabling background calibration for a few seconds and then disabling it again until the event we decide occurs?
thanks a lot in advance
