Upon initiation of the SAR process, the SAR Control Module sets the AFE gain to the Starting SAR Resolution as programmed by firmware. Initially, the MSB of the 10-bit DAC value is set to ‘1’ or the DAC setpoint is placed at the midpoint of its range. An EADC sample is captured and compared. Based on the polarity and magnitude of the EADC error, the AFE gain and DAC setpoint are adjusted.
