Typical Application (continued)

9.2.1 Design Requirements

•

Supply Voltage: 3.3 V

•

Maximum Input Voltage: ±6 V

•

Specified Input Voltage: ±5 V

•

ADC Reference Voltage: 1.25 V

The goal for this design is to accurately condition a ±5-V bipolar input voltage into a voltage suitable for

The circuit should function with reduced performance over a wider input range of at least ±6 V to allow for easier

protection of overvoltage conditions.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

Figure 30 depicts a simplified schematic for this design showing the MSP430 ADC inputs and full input

conditioning circuitry. The ADC is configured for a bipolar measurement where final conversion result is the

differential voltage between the voltage at the positive and negative ADC inputs. The bipolar, GND referenced

input signal must be level-shifted and attenuated by the op amp so that the output is biased to VREF / 2 and has

a differential voltage that is within the ±VREF / 2 input range of the ADC.
