R/F Converter (RFC)
20.1.
Overview
The RFC is a CR oscillation type A/D converter (R/F converter).
The features of the RFC are listed below.
•
Converts the sensor resistance into a digital value by performing CR oscillation and counting the
oscillation clock.
•
Achieves high-precision measurement system with low errors by oscillating the reference resistor and
the sensor in the same conditions to obtain the difference between them.
•
Includes a 24-bit measurement counter to count the oscillation clocks.
•
Includes a 24-bit time base counter to count the internal clock for equalizing the measurement time
between the reference resistor and the sensor.
•
Supports DC bias resistive sensors and AC bias resistive sensors.
(A thermometer/hygrometer can be easily implemented by connecting a thermistor or a humidity
sensor and a few passive elements (resistor and capacitor).)
•
Allows measurement (counting) by inputting external clocks.
•
Provides an output and continuous oscillation function for monitoring the oscillation frequency.
•
Can generate reference oscillation completion, sensor (A and B) oscillation completion,
measurement counter overflow error, and time base counter overflow error interrupts.
Figure 20.1.1 shows the RFC configuration.
