Notes on the output range
Balancing the offset and the amplication is done for the PCD2.W6x5 digitally by the
µC. As there is no potentiometer, the output range has been slightly enlarged to cover
maximum values even in the worst case.
Typical output range (without component tolerances):
W605: - 0.26 V … + 10.36 V (instead of 0 … + 10 V)
W615: 0 mA … 21.4 mA (instead of 0 … 20 mA)
W625: - 10.62 V … 10.36 V (instead of - 10 … +10 V)
This range is broken down on a 10 bit scale (1024 steps), as before. The result is the
following LSB resolution:
W605: 1 LSB = 10.38 µV
W615: 1 LSB = 21.7 µA
W625: 1 LSB = 20.75 µV
With this balance the nominal range (0 … 10 V) is now scaled 0 … 1023, making it
possible for the output value not to change on an increase of 1 LSB.
