Question about A/D Conversion

Hello Everyone,

I'm willing to use my uPSD chip to check li-on battery voltage. The uPSD suppose to alarm when the li-on battery voltage drops under 3.3V.

The uPSD manual claims that A/D input voltage should be less or equal to 3.6V.

In case I will connect the A/D to voltage between 4.1V and 3.6V, how it will behave? Will I receive dummy data? No data at all? Can this operation harm the device?

Thanks for help.

Hi,

you should not exceed VREF of the ADC! Otherwise the device will be damaged.

Greetings,
