MSP430I2020: Effective number of bits in MSP430I2020

Conor

Part Number: MSP430I2020

Hi,

Could you tell me about the effective number of bits in MSP430I2020.

A resolution that can divide 10000 of Min 1g and Max 10000g is required.

Thanks,

Koki

Hi,

I cannot understand the question. Do you mean the ADC ENOB? i2020 ENOB is arround 16-17bit depends on the different gain setting.

Hi,

Yes, your perception is correct.
Does the datasheet contain information about ENOB?
I couldn't find it there.

No. The datasheed has the data of SNR. You can calculate the ENOB by

ENOB= ((SINAD -1.76))/(6.02 dB)

Hi,

The calculation was based on your feedback (ENOB = ((SINAD -1.76)) / (6.02 dB)).

Then, when 89db, ENOB is 14.5bit.

and when 77db, ENOB is 12.5bit.

How did you calculate the above values?

Thanks,

Hi,Koki,

You are correct for i2020. You need check if the resolution is enough or not.
