Equivalent Circuit

Figure 2-1 describes the equivalent circuit for the input pin. In a capacitive coupled system, the biasing of the pin is done internally by the voltage as shown in Equation 1, where k is approximately 0.5.

Register settings for the input pin:

  • CH1_CFG0 register (address = 0x3C) Bit 4, CH1_DC=0 selects AC Coupling for channel 1. The setting also selects single-ended or differential mode.
  • The DC voltage on the pin is VREF/2. The value of this reference voltage can be configured using the P0_R59_D[1:0] register bits as shown in Table 2-1.
  • PO_R_60_D{3:2} are used to select the input impedance.
