17.2 Overview
The total acquisition chain consists of an input multiplexer, 3 programmable gain amplifier stages and an
oversampled A/D converter. The reference voltage can be selected on two different channels. Two offset
compensation amplifiers allow for a wide offset compensation range. The programmable gain and offset give the
ability to zoom in on a small portion of the reference voltage defined input range.
17.3 Register map
There are eight registers in the acquisition chain (AC), namely RegAcOutLsb, RegAcOutMsb, RegAcCfg0,
RegAcCfg1, RegAcCfg2, RegAcCfg3, RegAcCfg4 and RegAcCfg5. Table 17-2 to Table 17-9 show the mapping
of control bits and functionality of these registers while Table 17-1 gives an overview of these eight.
The register map only gives a short description of the different configuration bits. More detailed information is found
in subsequent sections.
