PRODUCTION DATA.
When operating in High Precision Mode, the device offers a 16-bit internal accumulator per channel. The Accumulator for a channel is enabled only if that channel is selected in the channel scanning sequence. The accumulator adds sixteen 12-bit conversion results. The result of adding 16 twelve bit words is one 16 bit word that has an effective resolution of an 16-bit ADC. The time between two consecutive conversions for accumulation is controlled by the nCLK register and Equation 3 provides the relationship for time between two consecutive conversions of same channel and nCLK parameter.
The accumulated data can be read from the ACCUMULATOR_DATA registers in the device.
ACCUMULATOR_STATUS register provides the number of accumulations done in the accumulator since last conversion. This register can be read during an active sequence to get the current status of the accumulator.
The accumulator is reset on setting the SEQ_START bit and on resetting the device.
Equation 4 provides the relationship between high precision data and ADC conversion results.
Equation 5 provides the value of LSB in high precision mode for the accumulated result.
