How to overwrite the MSPAN HW setting?

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LTC2664

Hi

In the schematic the MSP0,1,2 Pins are connected to 5V-0V-0V, which represents a configuration of +/-5V o/p range with mid-scale Reset Code

Now based on the application change, we would like to change the o/p range to 0V to 5V with Zero-scale reset code.

Can this be done without changing (through rework) the HW setting of the MSP0,1,2 Pins at the board?

I am trying to understand whether the the Hard wired MSPN setting be overwritten by the Software? if so how?

I think driving the CLR/  would help to get the scale as per the reset code given in Table:4 in that particular MSPAN setting and this is not to change the MSPAN setting?

Looking forward some clarity here on this need.

Regards,

Felix.

  • Hi  

    You can change the output range by sending the write span sytax (page 18 of the datasheet).
    The MSPx pins define the span and output upon reset but you can configure it after.
    The MSPx pin setting will be overwritten by the software. You can view it such that the MSPx pins, (connected to the Power-On-Reset in the block diagram) will only be sampled on power-up.

    Hope this helps.
