Measuring Current
Odd numbered ADC channels may be used to measure
supply current. Set the ADC to high resolution mode to
configure for current measuring and improve sensitivity.
Note that no OV or UV faults or warnings are reported in
this mode, but telemetry is available from the READ_VOUT
command using the 11-bit signed mantissa plus 5-bit
signed exponent linear data format. Set the MFR_CONFIG
bit b[9] = 1 in order to enable high res mode. Note: Any
channel configured for ADC high res mode should be per-
manently commanded off, i.e., OPERATION register = ‘h00
(this is the factory default EEPROM value). The V
will assert low in this mode and cannot be used to control
a DC/DC. The V
A circuit for measuring current is shown in Figure 18.

DC/DC converter. The filter to the ADC is placed directly
across the inductor or a sense resistor in series with the
inductor. Note that the + input to the ADC must be limited
to <6V above ground. Select R
corner frequency is ≤1/10 the DC/DC converter switching
frequency and ≤1/10 of the internal 62.5kHz clock of the
LTC2978’s ∆Σ ADC. This will assure that the DC value
at the (+) input to the ADC will be equal to the output
voltage with small ripple. Good values are R

Many switching regulator control ICs derive AC inductor
current information from an RC network such as the one
formed by R1, C1, R2 and C2. The proper placement of
the balanced common mode filter for the ADC input is
also shown in Figure 18.
