SENSITIVITY
In adaptive threshold mode, the output comparator threshold is
set as a defined distance (sensitivity) above the data average,
below the data average, or both, depending on the selected
threshold mode of operation (see
Figure 29). The sensitivity
value is programmable in the range 0 to 255 LSBs of the 12-bit
CDC converter (see the
Register Descriptions section).

HYSTERESIS
In adaptive threshold mode, the comparator features hysteresis.
The hysteresis is fixed to one-fourth of the threshold sensitivity
and can be programmed on or off. The comparator does not
have hysteresis in the fixed threshold mode.

TIMEOUT
In the case of a large, long change in the capacitive input, when
the data average adapting to a new condition may take too long,
a timeout can be set.
The timeout becomes active (counting) when the CDC data
goes outside the band of data average ± sensitivity. When the
timeout elapses (a defined number of CDC conversions is
counted), the data average (and thus the threshold) is forced to
follow the new CDC data value immediately (see
Figure 31).
The timeout can be set independently for approaching (for change
in data toward the threshold) and for receding (for change in data
away from the threshold). See
Figure 32, Figure 33, and the
Register Descriptions section.

AUTOCAPDAC ADJUSTMENT
In adaptive threshold mode, the part can dynamically adjust the
CAPDAC to keep the CDC in an optimal operating capacitive
range. When the AutoDAC function is enabled, the CAPDAC
value is automatically incremented when the data average
exceeds three-fourths of the CDC full range, and the CAPDAC
value is decremented when the data average goes below one-
fourth of the CDC full range. The AutoDAC increment or
decrement step depends on the selected CDC capacitive input
range. See the
Setup Register section.
POWER-DOWN TIMER
In power sensitive applications, the AD7151 can be set to
automatically enter power-down mode after a programmed
period of time in which the output has not been activated. The
AD7151 can be then returned to a normal operational mode
either via the serial interface or by the power supply off/on
sequence.
POWER SUPPLY MONITOR
When the AD7151 V
DD
power supply voltage drops below a
defined level needed for correct CDC operation, the on-chip
power supply monitor stops the adaptive threshold logic and
holds it in reset. After the V
DD
reaches the required level, the
threshold logic is released, and the data average is reset to the
value of the first conversion finished at the correct power supply
voltage.
This feature prevents the adaptive threshold from being set
incorrectly after a very slow rise of the V
DD
voltage or from being
corrupted by accidental drops in the V
DD
voltage.
The other AD7151 functions continue working below the
power supply monitor threshold, down to approximately
1.0V..1.8V, the exact level depending on the manufacturing
process variation. In the region of the low V
DD
voltage, the part
is still accessible via the serial interface and continues conversion.
However, the conversion results may be incorrect and,
therefore, the data should not be considered valid if the part
operates below the power supply monitor threshold.
The status of the power supply monitor can be determined by
reading the PwrDown bit in the AD7151 status register.
