voltage input in 0.7 ms and averages 16 conversions to
reduce noise; a measurement takes nominally 11 ms.
Extended Resolution Registers
using the extended resolution registers (0x76 and 0x77).
Whenever the extended resolution registers are read, the
corresponding data in the voltage measurement registers
(0x20 to 0x24) is locked until their data is read. That is, if
extended resolution is required, then the extended resolution
register must be read first, immediately followed by the
appropriate voltage measurement register.
Additional ADC Functions for Voltage Measurements
ADT7476 to offer the system designer increased flexibility.
Turn−Off Averaging
value register, 16 readings have 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 but the reading
can be noisier. The default round robin cycle time takes
146.5 ms.
default round robin cycle time increases to 240 ms.
Bypass All Voltage Input Attenuators
the attenuation circuitry from the 2.5 V, V
and 12 V inputs. This allows the user to directly connect
external sensors or rescale the analog voltage measurement
inputs for other applications. The input range of the ADC
without the attenuators is 0 V to 2.25 V.
Bypass Individual Voltage Input Attenuators
to bypass individual voltage channel attenuators.

[6] = 1, single−channel convert mode.
TACH1 Minimum High Byte (0x55)
[7:5] Selects ADC channel for single−channel convert mode.
Single−Channel ADC Conversion

channel, and therefore helps to analyze that channel’s
performance in greater detail, it can also have other
applications.
ADT7476 into single−channel ADC conversion mode. In
this mode, the ADT7476 can only read a single voltage
channel. The selected voltage input is read every 0.7 ms. The
appropriate ADC channel is selected by writing to Bits [7:5]
of the TACH1 minimum high byte register (0x55).
