Changing Between Modes
Changing from Cont to Ncont mode occurs whenever
t_INT < t_MRAZ. Figure 15 shows an example of this
transition. In this figure, Cont mode is entered when
the integration on side A is completed before the
m/r/az cycle on side B is complete. The DDC232
completes the measurement on sides B and A during
states 8 and 7 with the input signal shorted to ground.
Ncont integration begins with state 6.
Changing from Ncont to Cont mode occurs when t_INT
SBAS331D – AUGUST 2004 – REVISED APRIL 2010
is increased so that t_INT is always ≥ t_MRAZ as shown in
Figure 16 (see Figure 13 and Table 11, page 18).
With a longer t_INT, the m/r/az cycle has enough time
to finish before the next integration begins and
continuous integration of the input signal is possible.
For the special case of the very first integration when
changing to the Cont mode, t_INT can be < t_MRAZ. This
is allowed because there is no simultaneous m/r/az
cycle on the side B during state 3—therefore, there is
no need to wait for it to finish before ending the
integration on side A.
