Reference Vrh on mc9s12dp256

Started by Florent VERRIERE October 25, 2002
Hello,

About Vrh / Vrl on mc9s12dp256, does it neccessary to use a voltage reference IC for a precise ATD conversion or does power supply voltage is sufficient as evaluation boards seems done?
What is the current of Vrh ?
Is there any internal regulator of Vrh voltage?
Thank you for your answer that conditions my new design. Florent VERRIERE

I try to use ratiometric designs for my A/D sources. In that manner the
precise value of the reference is not critical. In a current design, for
example, Vrh is connected to Vcc via a PolySwitch fuse (to prevent circuit
damage of someone shorts the external Vrh line) and Vrl is connected to
analogue ground. I then use precision potentiometers (which by definition
are ratiometric devices) and in one case I have been able to find a pressure
transducer with a 0.5V to 4.5V ratiometric output.

Good luck, Bob Smith

Robert smith,
I understand but my question is about Vcc is more dependant of temperature
and some other tolerance like resistor,..

A voltage reference assure the system to have a certain precision depending
of the component you choice .
