EQUATION 5-1:

TEMPERATURE SENSOR TRANSFER FUNCTION

5.1.3

ADC OFFSET CANCELLATION

ALGORITHM

The input multiplexer and the ADC include an offset can-

cellation algorithm that cancels the offset contribution of

the ADC. This offset cancellation algorithm is controlled

by the AZ_MUX bit in the CONFIG2 register. When

AZ_MUX = 0 (default), the offset cancellation algorithm

is disabled and the conversions are not affected by this

setting. When AZ_MUX = 1, the algorithm is enabled.

When the offset cancellation algorithm is enabled, ADC

takes two conversions, one with the differential input as

VIN+/VIN-, one with VIN+/VIN- inverted. Equation 5-2

calculates the ADC output code. When AZ_MUX = 1,

the Conversion Time, TCONV, is multiplied by two,

compared to the default case, where AZ_MUX = 0.

EQUATION 5-2:

AZ_MUX CONVERSION RESULT

This technique allows the cancellation of the ADC

offset error and the achievement of ultra-low offset

without any digital calibration. The resulting offset is the

residue of the difference of the two conversions, which

is on the same order of magnitude as the noise floor.

This offset is effectively canceled at every conversion,

so the residual offset error temperature drift is

extremely low.

For One-Shot mode, the conversion time is simply

multiplied by two. Enabling the AZ_MUX bit is not

compatible with the Continuous Conversion mode

(because it effectively multiplexes the inputs in

between each conversion). If AZ_MUX = 1 and

CONV_MODE = 11 (Continuous Conversion mode),

the device will reset the digital filter in between each

conversion and will therefore have an output data rate

of 1/(2 * TCONV). The Continuous mode is replaced by

a series of One-Shot mode conversions with no delay

in between each conversion (see Section 5.13

“Conversion Modes” and Figure 5-5 for more details

about the Conversion modes).
