DIGITAL GAIN ERROR CALIBRATION

The Gain Error Calibration register (GAINCAL,

address: 0xA) is an unsigned 24-bit register that holds

the digital gain error calibration value, GAINCAL.

Equation 5-8 calculates the GAINCAL multiplier.

EQUATION 5-8:

GAINCAL CALIBRATION

VALUE (MULTIPLIER

VALUE)

For the MCP3460R device, the gain error calibration is

done by multiplying the GAINCAL value to the ADC out-

put code. The last byte of the GAINCAL register (GAIN-

CAL[7:0]) is ignored and internally reset to 0x00 during

the calibration; therefore, the multiplication just takes

into account the GAINCAL[23:8] bits.

The gain error calibration value range in equivalent

voltage is [0; 2-2-15], which can cancel any possible

gain error in the ADC and in the system. The gain

error calibration is made with a simple add-and-shift

circuit clocked on DMCLK and induces a pipeline

delay of TGCAL = 15 DMCLK periods. This pipeline

delay acts as a delay on the data ready interrupt

position that is shifted by TGCAL = 15 DMCLK periods.

During this delay, the converter can process the next

conversion, the delay does not shift the next conver-

sion and does not change the Conversion Time,

TCONV. Enabling the gain error calibration will affect

the next conversion result. The conversion result

already held in the ADCDATA register (0x0) is not

modified when the EN_GAINCAL is set to ‘1’, but the

next one will take the offset calibration into account.

Changing the GAINCAL register to a new value will

not affect the current ADCDATA value, but the next

one (after a data ready interrupt) will take the new

GAINCAL value into account. Figure 5-13 shows the

different cases and their associated effects on the

ADCDATA register and the IRQ output.
