Detailed Design Procedure

Figure 19 depicts a simplified schematic for this design showing the MSP430 ADC inputs and full input conditioning circuitry. The ADC is configured for a bipolar measurement where final conversion result is the differential voltage, VDIFF, between the positive and negative ADC inputs, A1+ and A1–. The bipolar, ground-referenced input signal must be level-shifted and attenuated by the op amp so that the output is biased to VREF / 2 and has a differential voltage that is within the ±VREF / 2 input range of the ADC. The transfer function for the op-amp circuit simplifies to Equation 4.

Equation 4. REF3312 REF3318 REF3320 REF3325 REF3330 REF3333 q_a1_plus_sbos392.gif

where

  • R1 = R4
  • R5 = R2 || R3

The voltage applied to the negative ADC input, A1–, is based on the resistor divider formed by R6 and R7 and is set to VREF / 2 by setting R6 equal to R7, as shown in Equation 5.
