ADC Offset in MSC12xx Devices (Rev. B)
The offset parameter plays a significant role in analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion, especially in the high-resolution delta-sigma A/D converter (ADC) implemented in the MSC1210, MSC1211 and MSC1212 devices. This application report discusses the following points:
a) The main sources of ADC offset in these devices;
b) Compensating the offset by using either hardware or software;
c) The Null_Offset program, which gives the user an opportunity to try different kinds of offset compensation. The information contained in this bulletin also applies to the ADS1216, ADS1217 and ADS1218 devices.
