Hi Expert,
I'd like to confirm the below chip level questions with you. Hope could get your help. Thanks!
1. For the application, F280049 just have two type, Q is for automotive and S is for others. Is that right?
My customer is used for PV inverter, they'd like to know if using S level is OK, and what's the difference about these two types.
2. Just double checked, that if customer could put a capacitor between PGA1_OF and PGA1_GND pins to filter the signal?
I have searched the TRM, the content in Filtered Acquisition Window seems supporting for this function.
Thanks!
Best Regards

Rayna,
Customer can use S device for PV inverter; Q grade has extra qualification for automotive Q100 standard. This is not needed outside the automobile.
For the PGA filter you are correct on the use of a cap for filtering and why we brought out this pin on the device. Please see section 14.9.2 in the TRM http://www.ti.com/lit/sprui33

Hi Matthew,
There's another question about PGA module.
As the gain of PGA is 3/6/12/24, however could the gain be "1" to let output voltage follow the input voltage by floating the PGA_GND?
Or it could connect the PGA_GND & PGA_OF pins together to make the gain is 1:1, could it?
Thanks!

Rayna,
No, the PGA does not support Gain=1. In order to compensate for this, the smaller packages use hard-wired signal muxing to provide an alternate path to non-PGA ADC channels.
For example, if we look at the analog resource table from the datasheet, you can see that on the 64-pin device, pin 12 provides access to both PGA1_IN and C0. If Gain=1 is desired, use the C0 channel.

Hi Tommy,
Customer requires for high impedance function, which ADC could not achieved.
As your suggestion, PGA could not use for the application that should achieve 1:1 & high impedance, could it?
Thanks!

Rayna,
Correct, the PGA should not be used for Gain=1 applications.
The ideal signal conditioning for the ADC is low-impedance and high-bandwidth. However, high-impedance is a relative term. Have you reviewed the ACQPS approximation equations from the F28004x TRM?
We have also added a section in the F2806x TRM for ADC signal conditioning for low-bandwidth signals. The equations will apply to F28004x as well.
