where GAINCAL is the gain calibration value, OFFCAL is the offset calibration value
and ADCuncomp is the uncompensated value read from the ADC. All values are in
two’s complement format.
The offset compensation is performed first, followed by the gain compensation. One
bit of resolution is lost because of rounding on both the offset and gain computations.
As a result the ADC registers read back 13 bits: 1 sign bit, two calibration bits lost to
rounding and 10 data bits.
Note:
Also note that in the second term, the multiplication should be performed before the
division by 216. Otherwise, the the second term will incorrectly evaluate to zero.
Although the ADC can be used without the gain and offset compensation, it does exhibit
non-unity gain. Designing the ADC with sub-unity gain reduces noise across the ADC
range but requires the ADC results to be scaled by a factor of 8/7.
Caution:
ADC Compensation Details
High efficiency assembly code that performs this compensation is available for download
on www.zilog.com. The following is a bit-specific description of the ADC compensation
process used by this code.
The following data bit definitions are used:
0-9, a-f = bit indices in hexadecimal
s = sign bit
v = overflow bit
- = unused
