Electrical characteristics
or circuit supplying the analog signal to be measured. The filter at the input pins must be designed taking
into account the dynamic characteristics of the input signal (bandwidth) and the equivalent input
impedance of the ADC itself.
In fact a current sink contributor is represented by the charge sharing effects with the sampling
capacitance: CS being substantially a switched capacitance, with a frequency equal to the conversion rate
of the ADC, it can be seen as a resistive path to ground. For instance, assuming a conversion rate of 1 MHz,
with CS equal to 3 pF, a resistance of 330 k is obtained (REQ = 1 / (fc  CS), where fc represents the
conversion rate at the considered channel). To minimize the error induced by the voltage partitioning
between this resistance (sampled voltage on CS) and the sum of RS + RF + RL + RSW + RAD, the external
circuit must be designed to respect the Equation 7:

Equation 7 generates a constraint for external network design, in particular on resistive path. Internal
switch resistances (RSW and RAD) can be neglected with respect to external resistances.
