ADS1263EVM-PDK: Differential Input Code Conversion

Part Number: ADS1263EVM-PDK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1263, ADCPRO

Hello,

         We tried reading data through ADS1263EVM-PDK, But not getting satisfactory results or somewhere our understanding does not meet.

         We have connected below voltage signals to the ADS1263EVM board.

  1. IN2 (REF_P) = 4V
  2. IN3 (REF_N) = 1V
  3. IN0 (Vin_P) = 3V
  4. IN1 (Vin_N) = 2V

Please refer "Hardware_Connections.PNG" image for hardware connection as below.

ADS1263 register configuration is done as below

  1. MODE0 = CHOP(disabled)
  2. MODE1 = FILTER(Sinc1)
  3. MODE2 = BYPASS(disabled), GAIN(1), DR(400)
  4. INPUTMUX = MUXP(AIN0), MUXN(AIN1)
  5. REFLUX = RMUXP(AIN2), RMUXN(AIN3)

Above are the only bits which are changed, rest all configurations are as default. Please refer below image.

With above-said circuit connections and register configuration and as per our understanding ADS1263 should read the difference between two input signals (Vin_P - Vin_N) as 1V. But we are getting ADC reading as 1.67192V. Please refer below image 

The question here is, we are not able to understand from where 0.67192V is getting added?

All the snapshots of ADCPRO software V2.0 for this configuration are attached for reference as below. 

         

 

Any kind of help to resolve the issue is appreciated.

Thank you........:)

  • Hi Sanket,

    Welcome to the TI E2E forums!

    I think this is an easy fix...You are providing a 3V external reference to the ADC  through AIN2/AIN3; however, on the "Reference" tab you are telling the GUI that the reference voltage is 5V, hence the voltage appears to be scaled by a factor of "5/3" or 1.667.

    The ADC doesn't know the reference voltage amplitude; All it does is compare the input voltage to the reference voltage and provide an output code with is proportional to this ratio. It is only the GUI in this case that is converting the ADC "codes" to equivalent voltages, and in order to do so accurately, make sure you tell it that the reference voltage is 3V, as shown below:

  • Thank you chris for the quick and helpful response ..............:)
    And sorry for the late feedback as we did not receive any notification on mail about your response....
    If TI can improve on this, then it will be a great help....
    thank you.....
  • Hi Sanket,

    You're very welcome!

    I am sorry that you did not receive a notification with my response. I will gladly report this E2E issue; however, would you be able to do me a favor and answer a couple of quick questions for me to help me troubleshoot?...

    - Have you checked your  junk folder to see if the notification might have gotten flagged as spam?

    - Have you received an email notification of THIS latest E2E response?

    - When you created the thread, might you have unchecked "notify me" box (shown below)?

    - Finally, try clocking on the "Options" button (and only this button - don't select any of the options) on the right side of the browser window...Do you see "Mute" or "Unmute" displayed?

    Thank you and please let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with!

     

    Best regards,
    Chris
