ADC operating principle

The device provides a 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter. It is used

to provide a digital information about the current sense feedback proportional to the output current and the

temperature read by the internal sensor. An integrated LP (progressive average) filter can be used to filter data

coming from the ADC conversion reducing the effect of random noise coming from the analog current sense

amplifier.

Note:

The internal ADC is able to work in both normal and fail-safe conditions.

The integrated ADC control logic is designed to lead to a good 10-bit approximation of current sense/temperature

feedback.

After each conversion, an updated bit “UPDTSR” is set to advise about new conversion data. This bit is reset after

the Read process of the dedicated RAM register.

The data is maintained in the register until the next conversion results are available. The ADC register is

refreshed at the end of each conversion and maintained during the conversion of the current sample. The data is

converted on the 10-bit register, the formula is equal to:
