EFM8SB1 Data Sheet System Overview
3.7 Analog Capacitive Sense (CS0)
The Capacitive Sense subsystem uses a capacitance-to-digital circuit to determine the capacitance on a port pin. The module can take measurements from different port pins using the module’s analog multiplexer. The module can be configured to take measurements on one port pin, a group of port pins one-by-one using auto-scan, or the total capacitance on multiple channels together. A selectable gain circuit allows the designer to adjust the maximum allowable capacitance. An accumulator is also included, which can be configured to average multiple conversions on an input channel. Interrupts can be generated when the CS0 peripheral completes a conversion or when the measured value crosses a configurable threshold. The Capacitive Sense module includes the following features: • Measure multiple pins one-by-one using auto-scan or total capacitance on multiple channels together. • Configurable input gain. • Hardware auto-accumulate and average. • Multiple internal start-of-conversion sources. • Operational in Suspend when all other clocks are disabled. • Interrupts available at the end of a conversion or when the measured value crosses a configurable threshold.
Programmable Current Reference (IREF0)
The programmable current reference (IREF0) module enables current source or sink with two output current settings: Low Power Mode and High Current Mode. The maximum current output in Low Power Mode is 63 µA (1 µA steps) and the maximum current output in High Current Mode is 504 µA (8 µA steps). The IREF module includes the following features: • Capable of sourcing or sinking current in programmable steps. • Two operational modes: Low Power Mode and High Current Mode. • Fine-tuning mode for higher output precision available in conjunction with the PCA0 module.
12-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC0)
The ADC is a successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADC with 12-, 10-, and 8-bit modes, integrated track-and hold and a program- mable window detector. The ADC is fully configurable under software control via several registers. The ADC may be configured to measure different signals using the analog multiplexer. The voltage reference for the ADC is selectable between internal and external reference sources. • Up to 10 external inputs. • Single-ended 12-bit and 10-bit modes. • Supports an output update rate of 75 ksps samples per second in 12-bit mode or 300 ksps samples per second in 10-bit mode. • Operation in low power modes at lower conversion speeds. • Asynchronous hardware conversion trigger, selectable between software, external I/O and internal timer sources. • Output data window comparator allows automatic range checking. • Support for burst mode, which produces one set of accumulated data per conversion-start trigger with programmable power-on set- tling and tracking time. • Conversion complete and window compare interrupts supported. • Flexible output data formatting. • Includes an internal 1.65 V fast-settling reference and support for external reference. • Integrated temperature sensor.
