LDC1314 influence of output gain register on ENOB

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LDC1314

As the data sheet of the LDC1314 says, the number of effective bits (ENOB) depends on the conversion time.

Like in the data sheet example to get an ENOB of 13 bits 8192 clock cycles are required.

What influence has the output gain register?

Can I maintain a desired ENOB by decreasing the concersion time and increasing the output gain?

  • Hi Christian,

    please have a look at this blog post, which explains how to boost the ENOB of the LDC1314 with by using the gain setting.

    In addition to setting gain/offset, the reference count value must be chosen to support the required number of effective bits (ENOB). For
    example, if an ENOB of 8 bits is required, then a minimum conversion time of 256 clock cycles is required (refer to the section on Multi-Channel and Single Channel Operation in the datasheet).
