AD5941 Potentiometry Basic Example and OCP Basic Example

Thread Summary

The user sought guidance on configuring AD5940/41 or ADUCM355 for potentiometric and open circuit potential (OCP) measurements. The final answer provided a switch configuration for measuring OCP across RE0 and SE0, using LpAmpCfg.LpTiaSW = LPTIASW(8) | LPTIASW(4), and explained the transfer function of the inverting amplifier. The user also found an example on GitHub that measures OCP by configuring the ADC inputs to LPTIA0_P and LPTIA0_N, and setting the LPTIA resistors to create an inverting amplifier with a gain of 2.5. The engineer clarified that to measure OCP across CE0 and SE0, SW2 should also be closed.

Hello,

I had the following question.

In the Application Examples of AD5940/41 Git you can find a Basic Application Example for Amperometry, Cyclic Amperometry, Voltammetry and Cyclic Voltammetry.

But I couldn't find an Application Example for Potentiometry or/and Open Circuit Potential.

Is there any of the application examples of AD5940/41 or ADUCM355 which could be taken as a basis for a Pententiometric Measurement Application or/and an Open Circuit Potential measurement ?

The only thread which goes into the direction of this topic is this one:

https://ez.analog.com/data_converters/precision_adcs/f/q-a/542089/ad5940-open-circuit-potentiometry

But I dont fully get it.

Can anyone provide a guidance which one of the application examples would the best one to start to implement a Potentiometric or/and Open Circuit measurement ?

Many Greetings

  • Hello Akila, sorry for my late reply, i had to do a bit of own research first to precise my question.

    I found this thread https://ez.analog.com/data_converters/precision_adcs/f/q-a/116440/voltage-measurement-ocp-open-circuit-potential-using-the-ad5940-resp-aducm355/483997 which already gives good information how to do Potentiometric Measurement, but there is still some questions.

    I want to implement the second method, mentioned in this thread:

    1) Measure voltage of SE0 w.r.t. VERO0, (AD5940_ADCMuxCfgS (ADCMUXP_VSE0 ,ADCMUXN_VZERO0);)

    2)Measure voltage of RE0 w.r.t. VZERO0, (AD5940_ADCMuxCfgS (ADCMUXP_VRE0 ,ADCMUXN_VZERO0);)

    3) Subtract (1) from (2). 

    This is my problem :

    In general if you want to configure a measurement with AD5940, three different kind of switch-configurations have to be done.

    1) The two inputs of ADC from the ADC switch matrix which are already clear (ADCMUXP_VSE0, ADCMUXP_VRE0 and ADCMUXN_VZERO0)

    2) The 15 switches of the Potentiostat circuit (in the code they adressed with SW(0) to SW(15)

    3) The four switches of the Low Power DAC (in the code they adressed with "LPDACSW_VBIAS2LPPA | LPDACSW_VBIAS2PIN | LPDACSW_VZERO2LPTIA | LPDACSW_VZERO2PIN")

    In the user Manual of AD5940 on page 38 (Figure 23), there is a picture where all this switches can be seen in.

    The user manual and the code examples give good explanation on which switches to close for amperometric and voltametric measurement but not for Potentiometry.

    Could you please give some clarification how to configure the switches mentioned in 2) and 3) for Potentiometric Measurements in reference to the Picture on Page 38 (Figure 23) of user manual ?

    Thx in Advance
