VCP1000 Performance

Post by ProtonTim »

The 20 bit ADC (VCP1000_0) states that is has a Measurement Error Max 0.01%. Does that mean the reported measurements can be off by as much as 0.0001 * 80V = 8mV even though it has 77μV resolution? Or is that error only at full scale?

More specifically, my application involves measuring differential voltages using multiple VCP1000's (6 of them). If I have one VCP1000 measuring a voltage of 18V and another measuring a voltage of 22V, for a differential voltage of 4V what would my max error be on the differential measurement?

Thank you for your help on this.

Hmm,the error would likely be smaller since you're operating within a smaller portion of the full-scale range.
