PIC18F87J72 FAMILY
The CTMU current source may be trimmed with the
trim bits in CTMUICON using an iterative process to get
an exact desired current. Alternatively, the nominal
value without adjustment may be used; it may be
stored by the software for use in all subsequent
capacitive or time measurements.
To calculate the value for R
must be chosen, and 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 cal-
culated as R
Similarly, if the current source is chosen to be 5.5 A,
R
source is set to 55 A.

Preliminary
manually triggers the A/D Converter, which is done to
demonstrate the entire stepwise process. It is also
possible to automatically trigger the conversion by
setting the CTMU’s CTTRIG bit (CTMUCONH<0>).
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. Keep in mind that if an exact cur-
rent is chosen to incorporate the trimming bits from
CTMUICON, the resistor value of R
adjusted accordingly. R
allow for available resistor values. R
the highest precision available, keeping in mind the
amount of precision needed for the circuit that the
CTMU will be used to measure. A recommended
minimum would be 0.1% tolerance.
The following examples show one typical method for
performing a CTMU current calibration. Example 25-1
demonstrates how to initialize the A/D Converter and the
CTMU. This routine is typical for applications using both
modules. Example 25-2 demonstrates one method for
the actual calibration routine. Note that this method
