The reference bypass capacitor (REFBYPC) signal requires a 100 nF capacitor connected to V
RL
 to filter 
noise on the internal reference used by the ADC.

Figure 19-60. RSD ADC Block Diagram
The redundant signed digit (RSD) cyclic ADC consists of two main portions, the analog RSD stage, and 
the digital control and calculation module, as shown in Figure 19-60. To begin an analog-to-digital 
conversion, a differential input is passed into the analog RSD stage. The signal is passed through the RSD 
stage, and then from the RSD stage output, back to its input to be passed again. To complete a 12-bit 
conversion, the signal must pass through the RSD stage 12 times. Each time an input signal is read into the 
RSD stage, a digital sample is taken by the digital control/calculation module. The digital 
control/calculation module uses this sample to tell the analog module how to condition the signal. The 
digital module also saves each successive sample and adds them according to the RSD algorithm at the 
end of the entire conversion cycle.
