The CTMU current source may be trimmed with the
trim bits in CTMUICON using an iterative process to get
the exact current desired. Alternatively, the nominal
value without adjustment may be used. That value may
be stored by software, for use in all subsequent
capacitive or time measurements.
To calculate the value for R
must be chosen. Then, the resistance can be
calculated.
For example, if the A/D Converter reference voltage is
3.3V, use 70% of full scale (or 2.31V) as the desired
approximate voltage to be read by the A/D Converter. If
the range of the CTMU current source is selected to be
0.55  A, the resistor value needed is calculated as,
R
if the current source is chosen to be 5.5  A, R

to 55  A.

A value of 70% of full-scale voltage is chosen to make
sure that the A/D Converter was in a range that is well
above the noise floor. If an exact current is chosen to

performing a CTMU current calibration.

This method manually triggers the A/D Converter to
demonstrate the entire step-wise process. It is also
possible to automatically trigger the conversion by
setting the CTMU’s CTTRIG bit (CTMUCONH<0>).
