Constant Control Accuracy 12-bit ADC Feedback

For cost-optimized systems, instead of the ADS131M08, use the 12-bit on-chip ADC in the feedback. In each PWM cycle 4 current measurements are taken, which is then averaged over 6 PWM cycles. Figure 3-12, Table 3-2, and Table 3-3 show output current error at different output current and voltage levels. It is observed that with a 12-bit ADC feedback, it is possible to achieve ±0.05% current control accuracy.
