8.3.10 ADC Transfer Function
The ADS8664 and ADS8668 are a family of multichannel devices that support single-ended, bipolar, and
unipolar input ranges on all input channels. The output of the devices is in straight binary format for both bipolar
and unipolar input ranges. The format for the output codes is the same across all analog channels.
The ideal transfer characteristic for each ADC channel for all input ranges is shown in
. The full-scale
range (FSR) for each input signal is equal to the difference between the positive full-scale (PFS) input voltage
and the negative full-scale (NFS) input voltage. The LSB size is equal to FSR / 2
12
= FSR / 4096 because the
resolution of the ADC is 12 bits. For a reference voltage of V
REF
= 4.096 V, the LSB values corresponding to the
different input ranges are listed in
.
