# AD594x AFE Controller: A Streamlined Register and Functional Reference
1.0 Introduction
This document serves as a streamlined, developer-focused technical reference for the Analog Devices AD594x Analog Front End (AFE) controller. Its purpose is to provide a clear, structured, and condensed guide to the chip's register map and core functionalities, optimized for clarity and ease of use. The reference is organized by peripheral module, starting with general-purpose blocks such as I/O and timers. It then proceeds to the central AFE Controller, the watchdog and wakeup timers, and other essential hardware accelerators. The core of the document provides a detailed breakdown of the Analog Front End (AFE) block itself, covering everything from the sequencer and waveform generator to the ADC, TIA, and switch matrix. The document concludes with a practical functional example demonstrating how these registers and features are used to perform a low-frequency oscillator calibration.
2.0 General Purpose I/O (AGPIO)
The General Purpose I/O (AGPIO) module is the primary interface for configuring and controlling the AD594x's digital input/output pins. This block allows each pin to be configured for various functions, with direct control over output state, pull-up/pull-down resistors, and input path enabling. This module is crucial for tasks like triggering external events, synchronizing with other ICs, or providing simple status indicators (e.g., LEDs). AGPIO_GP0CON

5.0 Wakeup Timer (WUPTMR)
The Wakeup Timer (WUPTMR) is a strategic peripheral for managing low-power sleep and wake cycles. It enables the AD594x to enter a low-power hibernate state and wake up at precise, user-defined intervals to execute measurement sequences. This functionality is crucial for applications requiring periodic measurements with high precision while minimizing power consumption. WUPTMR_CON

8.0 Switch Matrix & Electrode Connections (SWMAT)
The AD5940 features a highly flexible switch matrix that routes external electrode signals (SE0, RE0, CE0, AINx) to internal blocks like the High-Speed DAC (Excitation), the ADC, and the TIA. The matrix is divided into four main blocks: D (DAC/Excitation), P (Positive Input), N (Negative Input), and T (TIA/Transimpedance). 8.1 Core Switch Registers These registers provide direct control over every switch in the matrix.

10.0 Analog Front End Core (AFE)
The AFE block is the heart of the AD594x, integrating all the high-performance analog and digital components required for advanced electrochemical and bioimpedance measurements. This comprehensive module contains the high-speed and low-power Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) and Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIAs), the ADC and its associated digital filters, the powerful command sequencer with its data and command FIFOs, and the flexible switch matrix that routes signals between the analog blocks and external pins. 10.1 Core and Sequencer Configuration AFE_AFECON

11.0 Functional Example: Low Frequency Oscillator (LFOSC) Calibration
This section provides a practical, high-level example of how the AD594x's features, particularly the sequencer and timers, are used to perform a critical task: calibrating the internal low-frequency oscillator (LFOSC). 11.1 Overview The LFOSC is the clock source for the sleep/wakeup timer, which controls the measurement frequency of the AD5940 (i.e., how often it wakes up to run a measurement sequence). For applications that require a highly accurate and repeatable measurement sample rate, the LFOSC must be calibrated against a more precise, high-frequency clock source, such as an external 16 MHz crystal. The calibration process uses two measurement sequences to accurately measure the LFOSC period. 11.2 Calibration Steps The calibration process involves the following sequence of operations: 1 Configure Sequence A: A sequence is created containing a single command, SEQ_TOUT(0x3fffffff), which starts the high-resolution sequencer timeout counter. This sequence is written to a specific location in the AFE's command SRAM (e.g., Sequence ID 0). 2 Configure Sequence B: A second sequence is created with a single SEQ_STOP() command. This command halts the sequencer and generates an END_SEQ interrupt, signaling the host microcontroller that a measurement period is complete. This sequence is written to another SRAM location (e.g., Sequence ID 1). 3 Write Sequences to SRAM: Both sequences are loaded into the AFE's onboard SRAM. 4 Configure the Wakeup Timer: The wakeup timer is configured to execute Sequence A first, then Sequence B, with a specific time duration (CalDuration) between them. 5 Run First Measurement: The wakeup timer is enabled. It triggers Sequence A, which starts the timeout counter. After the specified CalDuration (e.g., 1000 ms), the timer triggers Sequence B. The END_SEQ interrupt from Sequence B prompts the host MCU to read the final count from the SEQTIMEOUT register. This value (TimerCount) represents the wakeup period plus the time required for the MCU to read the register. 6 Measure Read Latency: Sequence B is reconfigured to reset the timeout counter before generating the END_SEQ interrupt. It is then run again. This time, the value read back by the host (TimerCount2) represents only the time it takes to read the register. 7 Calculate Frequency: The final LFOSC frequency is calculated using the difference between TimerCount and TimerCount2, along with the known system clock frequency.
⠀11.3 Frequency Calculation Editor's Note: The formula presented in the original source documentation for this calculation appears to be erroneous, simplifying to a physically impossible result. The formula below has been corrected to reflect the logical intent of the calibration procedure. The frequency of the low-frequency oscillator is calculated by determining how many system clock cycles occur during a known number of LFOSC cycles (CalDuration_in_ticks). The corrected formula is:
Frequency = (CalDuration_in_ticks * SystemClkFreq) / (TimerCount - TimerCount2)
Where:
- Frequency: The calculated Low Frequency Oscillator frequency in Hz.
- CalDuration_in_ticks: The length of the calibration period, specified in LFOSC clock ticks.
- SystemClkFreq: The frequency of the AD5940 system clock in Hz (ideally 16 MHz from an external crystal for highest accuracy).
- TimerCount: The value read from the SEQTIMEOUT register after the first measurement.
- TimerCount2: The value read from the SEQTIMEOUT register after the second (latency) measurement.
- (TimerCount - TimerCount2): This difference represents the total number of system clock cycles that elapsed during the CalDuration period.
⠀11.4 SDK Implementation Note The AD5940 Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a ready-to-use function, AD5940_LFOSCMeasure(), which encapsulates this entire calibration logic. This function simplifies the process for the developer and takes key input parameters to control the measurement:
- CalDuration: Sets the length of the calibration routine (a value of 1000 ms is advisable for accuracy).
- SystemClkFreq: Sets the system clock frequency, which should be 16 MHz for best results.
⠀By performing this calibration, applications can achieve a high level of accuracy in their measurement sampling frequency, which is critical for time-sensitive electrochemical analysis.
