Re: TMS320F28052 Analog Port Injection Current

I need to know how much analog input injection current, over the uP's temperature range, will start to affect adjacent/other A/D inputs.

This isn't a normal operating mode question, but one that might come up either at a design review, or at a failure mode effect analysis. Overdriving the A/D port with a little current can happen as I need to use it's full range and can't clamp the voltage precisely at the Vrefhi voltage and inject current into the substrate.

For instance: It might be stated that injecting up to 100 uA into an A/D input could cause other A/D counts to potentially move by 5 counts up or down, and over temperature. I realize that this information might be either measurement data, or statistical in nature. A specified amount would be best, but some relevant information is better than no information.

I haven't been able to locate information in either the uP spec, or reference manual. (It could be there and I just missed it.) I'm not looking for a voltage spec, just an injection current spec. Would someone be able to point me to/inform me of an answer?

  • Hi Eugene,

    I think all we can say is that if the total device clamping current is less than 20mA, the device won't be permanently damaged. If the input voltages exceed the maximum operating conditions, I don't think we can say how much error this will cause in the ADC results.
