CALIBRATION
As seen in Figure 40, there are two types of calibration: background calibration and system calibration. These
calibrations are further described in the next sections.
Figure 40. Types of Calibration
Background Calibration
Background calibration is the process of continuously determining and applying the offset and gain calibration
coefficients to the output codes to minimize the LMP900xx’s offset and gain errors. Background calibration is a
feature built into the LMP900xx and is automatically done by the hardware without interrupting the input signal.
Four differential channels, CH0-CH3, each with its own gain and ODRs, can be calibrated to improve the
accuracy.
Types of Background Calibration:
Figure 40 also shows that there are two types of background calibration:
1. Type 1: Correction - the process of continuously determining and applying the offset and gain calibration
coefficients to the output codes to minimize the LMP900xx’s offset and gain errors.
This method keeps track of changes in the LMP900xx's gain and offset errors due to changes in the
operating condition such as voltage, temperature, or time.
2. Type 2: Estimation - the process of determining and continuously applying the last known offset and gain
calibration coefficients to the output codes to minimize the LMP900xx’s offset and gain errors.
The last known offset or gain calibration coefficients can come from two sources. The first source is the
default coefficient which is pre-determined and burnt in the device’s non-volatile memory. The second source
is from a previous calibration run of Type 1: Correction.
