Digital Output Codes and

Conversion to Real Values

4.9.1

DIGITAL OUTPUT CODE FROM

DEVICE

The digital output code is proportional to the input

voltage and PGA settings. The output data format is a

binary two’s complement. With this code scheme, the

MSB can be considered a sign indicator. When the

MSB is a logic ‘0’, the input is positive. When the MSB

is a logic ‘1’, the input is negative. The following is an

example of the output code:

for

negative

scale

input

voltage:

100...000

Example: (VIN+- VIN-) •PGA = -2.048V

for a zero differential input voltage: 000...000

Example: (VIN+- VIN-) = 0

for

positive

full

scale

input

voltage:

011...111

Example: (VIN+- VIN-) • PGA = 2.048V

The MSB (sign bit) is always transmitted first through

the I2C serial data line. The resolution for each

conversion is 18, 16, 14, or 12 bits depending on the

conversion rate selection bit settings by the user.

The output codes will not roll-over even if the input volt-

age exceeds the maximum input range. In this case,

the code will be locked at 0111...11 for all voltages

greater than (VREF - 1 LSB)/PGA and 1000...00 for

voltages less than -VREF/PGA. Table 4-2 shows an

example of output codes of various input levels for 18

bit conversion mode. Table 4-3 shows an example of

minimum and maximum output codes for each

conversion rate option.

The number of output code is given by:

EQUATION 4-2:

The LSB of the data conversion is given by:

EQUATION 4-3:

Table 4-1 shows the LSB size of each conversion rate

setting. The measured unknown input voltage is

obtained by multiplying the output codes with LSB. See

the following section for the input voltage calculation

using the output codes.
