3.2.7 Source frequency condition vs. source and parasitic capacitors
The external capacitance will not allow the analog input voltage to be exactly the same as
V
AIN
if the capacitor is not fully charged by the analog source.
If the analog input signal changes, then the analog signal frequency (F
AIN
) should be such
that the time period of this analog signal is at least: 10 × R
AIN
× (C
AIN
+ C
p
).
T
AIN
= analog signal time period = 1/F

.
We have:

For example:

Thus, the maximum frequency of the source will be:

400 kHz=
.
So for the above defined source characteristics (capac
itance and resistance), the frequency
of the source must not exceed 400 kHz, otherwise the ADC conversion result will be not
ac
curate.
