LDC1312EVM: CHx_FIN_DIVIDER

Part Number: LDC1312EVM

Hi Team,

I would like to ask about LDC1312EVM.

I couldn't set "Fin Select" more than 2 in Sensing Solutions EVM GUI.
Why it can't be set?
I believe CH0_FIN_DIVIDER has 4bit long(0x14[15:12]).

I found the following sentence in EVM User's guide.

(page 26)
If the resonant frequency of the sensor is less than 8.75 MHz the Fin select should be set to one. If the sensor frequency is greater than 8.75 MHz, Fin select should be two.

Could you also tell me the background why we should set one or two for Fin select?
Should I consider that more than two isn't recommended for Fin select?

Best Regards,
Yaita

Hello Yaita-san,
The GUI limits the selection to 1 or 2, because there is no practical value for increasing beyond this point. You can however use the register tab to write the CLOCK_DIVIDERS_CHx register directly and you should get up to divide by 15. Note that writing 0 is reserved/not valid.

Luke
