MSP430F47197: How to increase Sigma-Delta ADC full-scale voltage

Part Number: MSP430F47197
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F6779A

I am using Msp430F47197 for MCCB application, the full-scale voltage of all ADC channels is +-500 mV

In my application, I need ADC full-scale voltage up to 1.0Volt/1000mV, required for RMS current measurement up-to 1000Amps

Is it possible to increase sigma-delta ADC Input full-scale voltage??

If Yes, How can I achieve it in MSP430F47197 MCU via Internal or External ref.?

Thanks

    That's correct.

    What current sensor are you using? Current transformer? Shunt?

    Yes, but slightly. Instead, I would recommend sizing your current sensor or its related components to stay within the full-scale range (FSR). Better yet, why don't you consider using the MSP430F6779A with the Energy Measurement Design Center and software library? The F6779A has a full-scale range of +/-940 mV with the internal voltage reference.

    If you want to use an external reference, you can refer to the equation in the datasheet near the ADC performance section and re-calculate the FSR.
