MSP430F6736A: Conversion formula for SD24 module

Part Number: MSP430F6736A

Hi,

I have a doubt regarding Conversion formula for SD24 module.

Voltage=Vref*Digital value/FS value

1.When using Internal Reference, Vref for SD24 module is ~1.2V (1.151).
But VREF module does not generate 1.2 V it generates 1.5 V, 2.0 V, or 2.5 V
So while converting the acquired signal to Voltage, Vref value used should be 1.2 or 1.5V ?

2.Full scale value of the Digital Filter is given by
FS = 2^(3×log2(OSR)).
When OSR =607,
FS=223648543(0x0D54 9B1F), Which is a 28 bit value.Since this is a 24 bit ADC do we have to discard the last 4 bits.
If we are not discarding the last 4 digits, Which value do we have use in the conversion formula 2^28 or FS value(0x0D54 9B1F).

Data is in twos-complement mode (SD24DFx = 01b) with right alignment (SD24ALGN = 0).

Thanks

HI,

1. The VREF has a dedicated 1.2V reference for the SD24 module. You should use 1.2V for calculation.

2. I think the UG chapter 29.2.7.3 has discuss this situation. Please find it in UG page 770.

Thanks for the reply.

I have read the document and find the FS value using the equation.

When Right alignment the digital filter's output value is directly mapped to the SD24_B conversion result registers, So I am assuming All 28 bits contain usefull information. while converting this digial value to its analog equivalent,which value t use 2^28 or FS value calculated.(Input signal is having a very high noise and I was unable to figure out whether the error in voltage is due to noise or calculation error

Hi,

Are all 28 bits useful information? Do you need to consider the left aligned map in the chapter 29.2.7.3.

Hi,

If left alignment is selected as per Table 29.2 the LSB of the filter output is mapped to Bit 1 of SD24BMEMLx,in that case total bits will be 29 and we have to discard the last 1 bit. Actually my confusion is on the last 4 bits of the Filter Output .Number of bits of Filter output doesn't depend on the Alignment.My doubt is Whether to use 2^28 or FS in the conversion formula.

Hi,

I think using the FS make sense to me.
