A/D Sampling Requirements

For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy,

the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed

to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The

analog input model is shown in Figure 8-2. The source

impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)

impedance directly affect the time required to charge

the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS)

impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), see

Figure 8-2.

The maximum recommended imped-

ance for analog sources is 10 k

Ω. After the analog

input channel is selected (changed), this acquisition

must be done before the conversion can be started.

To calculate the minimum acquisition time, Equation 8-1

may be used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error

is used (512 steps for the A/D). The 1/2 LSb error is the

maximum error allowed for the A/D to meet its specified

resolution.

Tc = -(51.2 pF)(1 k

Ω + RSS + RS) ln(1/511)

Example 8-1 shows the calculation of the minimum

required acquisition time TACQ. This calculation is

based on the following system assumptions.

Note 1: The reference voltage (VREF) has no

effect on the equation, since it cancels

itself out.

2: The charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) is

not discharged after each conversion.

3: The maximum recommended impedance

for analog sources is 10 k

Ω. This is

required to meet the pin leakage specifi-

cation.

4: After a conversion has completed, a

2.0 TAD delay must

complete before

acquisition can begin again. During this

time, the holding capacitor is not con-

nected to the selected A/D input channel.
