Reference voltage for CC2540 ADC

Reference voltage for CC2540 ADC

Bits 7 and 6 of the ADCCON2 register is used to select the reference voltage.

Page 142 of the CC2540 user guide states that a setting of "00" sets the reference voltage to the internal reference.

Does anyone know what is the internal voltage reference?

Also, I am running my CC2540 off a coin cell and intend to use this as a battery monitor.

Am I right to simply set the sequence channel to "VDD/3" and set the ADC to convert based on the internal reference voltage?

     Hi rswl88,

    You will find that internal reference voltage together with other characterization number of the ADC in the CC2540 data sheet here:

    Hi,
     

    rswl88
    Does anyone know what is the internal voltage reference?

    1.15V. Refer to CC2540 datasheet, ADC CHARACTERISTICS, last line in the table.

    This method is acceptable, however you should take into account two coefficients, also

    found in ADC CHARACTERISTICS table (above the internal reference voltage line):

    • Internal reference VDD coefficient
    • Internal reference temperature coefficient

    Br,

    • Internal reference VDD coefficient
    • Internal reference temperature coefficient

    Sorry, but how do I use the coefficients?
    It it simply a linear formula like so?
    Internal reference voltage = 1.15 + (VDD coefficient)*VDD + (temperature coefficient)*temperature?

    The problem here is that I am measuring VDD/3, and this reference voltage is necessary for measuring my temperature too.

    Well, truth to be told, in case the board is fed by 3V voltage and typically

    found in ambient temperature (20 - 30 degrees Celsius) , you can just

    ignore those coefficients and simply multiply sampled result by 3.
