Additional ADC Functions for Voltage Measurements
ADT7473/ADT7473−1 to offer the system designer
increased flexibility.
Turn−Off Averaging
16 readings have actually been made internally and the
results averaged before being placed into the value register.
When faster conversions are needed, setting Bit 4 of
Configuration Register 2 (0x73) turns averaging off. This
effectively gives a reading 16 times faster (711 ms), but the
reading may be noisier.

The input range of the ADC without the attenuators is 0 V

Single−Channel ADC Conversion

conversion mode. In this mode, the ADT7473/ADT7473−1
can be made to read a single voltage channel only. If the
internal ADT7473/ADT7473−1 clock is used, the selected
input is read every 711 ms. The appropriate ADC channel is
selected by writing to Bits [7:5] of the TACH1 minimum
high byte register (0x55).
Configuration Register 2 (0x73)
Bit 4 = 1; averaging off.
Bit 5 = 1; bypass input attenuators.
Bit 6 = 1; single−channel convert mode.
TACH1 Minimum High Byte Register (0x55)
Bits [7:5] select ADC channel for single−channel convert
mode.
