Why did not well operates local and two remote temperature sensors of AMC7812?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AMC7812

Hi,

I tested AMC7812 with PIC32, but the local and two remote temperature sensor have odd operation.

When the AMC7812 is in external reference mode, these temperature sensors work well.

But ADC-n-data-register has reference voltage value, when ADC channel are open. 

And in internal reference mode, local temperature data register have 255.875, D1 and D2 temperature data register has value of -50 ~ -70 range.

Besides, ADC value is fluctuated by unknown issues.

Does anybody have same problem?

  • Howdy Seung,

    For the ADC channels, I have provided an explanation in another post:

    http://e2e.ti.com/support/data_converters/precision_data_converters/f/73/p/315801/1098791.aspx#1098791

    Regarding the temperature data with the internal reference, can you verify the following:

    • ADC-REF-INT Register  is set to '1' to enable the internal ADC reference buffer
    • Compensation capacitor of 4.7uF or greater connected from ADC-REF-IN to GND.
    • A 100pF to 10nF capacitor is also recommended between the reference output and GND for noise filtering.

    It may just be that the internal ADC reference buffer is not set.

  • Howdy Mattew,

    Thank you for reply.

    As adding capacitor for noise filtering, I can solve the problem.
