22.1 A/D Acquisition 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 illustrated in Figure 22-2. 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). The source impedance affects the offset voltage
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 k for 10-bit conversions and 1 k
for 12-bit conversions. After the analog input channel
is selected (changed), the channel must be sampled for
at least the minimum acquisition time before starting a
conversion.
Note:
When the conversion is started, the
holding capacitor is disconnected from the
input pin.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 22-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1,024 steps for the 10-bit
A/D). The 1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed
for the A/D to meet its specified resolution.
Equation 22-3 provides the calculation of the minimum
required acquisition time, TACQ. This calculation is
based on the following application system
assumptions:
CHOLD
= 25 pF
Rs
= 2.5 k
Conversion Error  1/2 LSb
VDD
= 3V  Rss = 2 k
Temperature
= 85C (system max.)
EQUATION 22-1: ACQUISITION TIME
TACQ = Amplifier Settling Time + Holding Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient
= TAMP + TC + TCOFF
EQUATION 22-2: A/D MINIMUM CHARGING TIME
VHOLD =
or
TC
=
(VREF – (VREF/2048)) • (1 – e^{(-TC/CHOLD(RIC + RSS + RS))})
-(CHOLD)(RIC + RSS + RS) ln(1/2048)
EQUATION 22-3: CALCULATING THE MINIMUM REQUIRED ACQUISITION TIME
TACQ = TAMP + TC + TCOFF
TAMP = 0.2 s
TCOFF =
(Temp – 25°C)(0.02 s/°C)
(85°C – 25°C)(0.02 s/°C)
1.2 s
Temperature coefficient is only required for temperatures > 25°C. Below 25°C, TCOFF = 0 s.
TC
= -(CHOLD)(RIC + RSS + RS) ln(1/2048) s
-(25 pF) (1 k + 2 k + 2.5 k) ln(0.0004883) s
1.05 s
TACQ = 0.2 s + 1.05 s + 1.2 s
2.45 s
