SIGNAL LEVEL CONTROL and SIGNAL MONITORING

Code
Adr 0x10, bit 3:0; Adr 0x0F, bit 7
Square control ADJ(8:7) = 00
Via the controlled sensor current source (pin ACO) iC-
MQ can keep the input signals for the internal sine-
to-digital converter constant regardless of temperature
and aging effects by tracking the sensor supply.

Both the controller operating range and input signal
amplitude for the controller are monitored and can
be enabled for error messaging. A constant current
source can be selected for the ACO output when set-
ting the signal conditioning; the current range for the
highside current source is adjusted using ADJ(6:5).

Table 40: Internal Sin/Cos Signal Amplitude For
Square Control
In operation with the active square control mode
ADJ(4:0) sets the internal signal amplitudes according
to the relation (PCH1-NCH1)² + (PCH2-NCH2)²; these
should be set to 0.25 Vpk.
