Input Filtering

The MSP430 ADC is configured to run from the 1.1-MHz SMCLK with an oversampling rate (OSR) of 256, yielding a sample rate of roughly 4.3 kHz. The input filter cutoff frequency is set to 1 kHz in order to limit the input signal bandwidth, as shown in Equation 17. R8 is 1 kΩ in order to provide isolation from the capacitive load of the low-pass filter, thereby reducing stability concerns.

Reduce C1 to 150 nF so that it is a standard value.

The A1– input of the delta-sigma (ΔΣ) converter is not buffered, and therefore requires a large capacitor to supply the charge for the internal sampling capacitor. A 47-μF capacitor is selected, resulting in the cutoff frequency illustrated in Equation 18.

Equation 18. REF3312 REF3318 REF3320 REF3325 REF3330 REF3333 q_f_a1_minus_2_sbos392.gif

In applications that cannot tolerate such a low-frequency cutoff, and therefore a long start-up time, buffer the A1– input with another OPA317 to properly drive the ADC input with a lower-input capacitor.
