Circuit Note
Settling Time Analysis
When the circuit shown in Figure 1 is operating in the
continuous switching mode, all the 16-channel signal-ended or
8-channel differential signal streams are merged into a time-
division multiplexed signal by the two stage multiplexer, the
ADG5208 and ADG5236. The signal is then buffered by the
AD8065 that has a high impedance, low capacitance input.
Then the low impedance output of AD8065 buffer drives the
AD8475 stage that attenuates, level shifts, and performs the
single-ended to differential conversion. An RC (10 Ω, 2.2 nF)
filter is placed at the input of the AD7984 ADC in order to limit
out-of-band noise and attenuate the kickback from the switched
capacitor input of the ADC. The −3 dB bandwidth of the filter
is 7.2 MHz. (See Front-End Amplifier and RC Filter Design for a
Precision SAR Analog-to-Digital Converters, Analog Dialogue
46-12, December 2012).
For the purposes of calculating settling time, the circuit can be
divided into four parts as shown in Figure 5.

Then the total settling time is estimated to be the root sum
square (rss) of settling time of each stage
t S _ ALL = t S _ MUX 2 + t S _ BUF 2 + t S _ ATN 2 + t S _ RC 2
In order to settle to within a specific error band at a sampling
rate, fS , the relationship below must be satisfied.
tS_ALL + tDD + tMD < 1/fS
Or, fS <1/(tS_ALL + tDD + tMD)

Settling Time for the Multiplexer Stage
The equivalent circuit for a CMOS switch can be approximated
as an ideal switch in series with a resistor (RON) and in parallel
with two capacitors (CS, CD). The multiplexer stage and
associated filters can therefore be modeled as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6. First-Order Model for Input Pre-Filter, Multiplexer, and AD8065 Input
Note that the ADG5236 model does not show the series switch
because it only switches when changing from single-ended to
differential mode inputs.
The pre-filter in front of multiplexer is not shown in Figure 1.
This pre-filter is used for noise suppression. Also, the RP resistor
combined with protection diodes and the TVS provides
additional transient and over-voltage protection for hostile
environments. The protection components are shown in the
complete circuit schematic contained in the CN-0269 Design
Support Package.
The RS is the 1 kΩ resistor in series with non-inverting input of
the AD8065, and CIN is the input capacitance of AD8065. The
input impedance of AD8065 is 1 GΩ||2.2 pF, and the 1 GΩ
resistance can be ignored.
The circuit in Figure 6 was simulated using NI Multisim™ as
shown in Figure 7, with the following component values:
Pre-filter: RP = 300 Ω; CP = 120 pF;
ADG5208: RON =160 Ω; CS = 5.5 pF; CD = 52 pF;
ADG5236: RON =160 Ω; CS = 2.5 pF; CD = 12 pF;
AD8065: RS =1 kΩ; CIN = 2.2 pF;
