Typical Applications (continued)
10.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The design requirements are as follows:
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Maximum input voltage: ±6 V
• Specified input voltage: ±5 V
• ADC reference voltage: 1.25 V
10.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Figure 19 depicts a simplified schematic for this design showing the MSP430 ADC inputs and full input
conditioning circuitry. The ADC is configured for a bipolar measurement where final conversion result is the
differential voltage, VDIFF, between the positive and negative ADC inputs, A1+ and A1–. The bipolar, ground-
referenced input signal must be level-shifted and attenuated by the op amp so that the output is biased to VREF /
2 and has a differential voltage that is within the ±VREF / 2 input range of the ADC. The transfer function for the
op-amp circuit simplifies to Equation 4.

The voltage applied to the negative ADC input, A1–, is based on the resistor divider formed by R6 and R7 and is
set to VREF / 2 by setting R6 equal to R7, as shown in Equation 5.

10.2.1.2.1 Op Amp Level-Shift Design
The ratio of R2, R3, and the VREF voltage determines the voltage on the output of the op amp when the
differential input is 0 V. Select the components so that VOUT is equal to the VREF / 2 voltage when VIN is equal to
0 V, as shown in Equation 6.
