DS90UB9722-Q1: ADC ExtVol0/1

Part Number: DS90UB9722-Q1

Dear Team,

in DS is stated if ADC on DS90UB9722-Q1 measure voltages up to 1.207V.

Our questions is:

-> if VDDIO is connected to 1.8V then ADC input ( GPIO0 or GPIO1) is tolerant up to 1.8V but it will measure the same value for 1.207V and 1.8V is that correct?

-> if VDDIO is connected to 3.3V then ADC input ( GPIO0 or GPIO1) is tolerant up to 3.3V but it will measure the same value for 1.207V and 3.3V is that correct?

Best Regards,

d.

  • Hi David,

    The pin will always see a voltage up to 1.207V. If you would want to measure a 1.8V for example, an external voltage divider would be needed to bring down the 1.8 or 3.3V below 1.207 threshold. 

    If you use a 10K and 10K divider on 1.8V then it would drop to 0.9V. This is within the 1.207V and 0.9V would indicate it's detecting the 1.8V on that pin.

  • HI Glenn,

    we don't need to measure the 1.8V but only 1.2V , but in some cases the voltage that can be seen on the pin is 1.8V, will this damage the pin of VDDIO=1.8V? 

    it is for the TPS2H160 current sense, in normal operation the max voltage is 4V bit if fault occurs it is 6.5V

    we use resistor divider to bring down the 4V to 1.2V -> meaning 6.5V is also brought down to 1.8V but we don't need to measure it but the adc pin only needs to survive it.

    Best Regards

  • Looking into this. Give me till the end of the day.

  • HI David,

    Please see section 6.1 in the datasheet. It has our maximums for the pins.
