Linear Improvement of the MSP430 14-Bit ADC Characteristic

This application report shows different linear methods to improve the accuracy of the 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the MSP430 family. Different correction methods are explained: some with monotonicity and some using linear regression. The methods used differ in RAM and ROM allocation, calculation speed, reachable improvement, and complexity. For all correction methods, proven, optimized, software examples are given with 8-bit and 16-bit arithmetic. The References section at the end of the report lists related application reports in the MSP430 14-bit ADC series.
