Minutes

• Daniel got ADC working

  • 10th bit known sticking issue. TBD whether it’s an output problem (MSB not being routed correctly?) or input problem (strange issue with SAR state machine timing/control signals?)

  • vbat/4 looks stable, is functional
    External input works
    PTAT does not look so good, seems stuck at 255
    some issues with determining absolute voltage
    There may be some offset that needs to be characterized per-chip if we need to know absolute voltage. For situations that just need deltaV, we don't need that calibration.
    offset is different by chip in part because ADC LDO varies per chip
    @Titan Yuan's setup had a strange short between the LDO and external input
    Typically 5ish LSB variance around samples. Not good but acceptable for the intended applications

  • Next steps are to measure ENOB. Recommend using external clock initially to separate clock jitter error from circuit layout error
