Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
• n = ADC resolution (in bits)
• R
on
= ADC sampling switch resistance
• C
h
= ADC sampling capacitor
• C
p
= ADC parasitic pin capacitance for the channel
And the following parameters are dependent on the application design:
• settling error = tolerable settling error (in LSBs)
• t
recovery
= amount of time between ADC samples
• n
τ
= number of RC time constants that comprise t
recovery
• R
s
= ADC driving circuit source impedance
• C
s
= ADC driving circuit source capacitance on ADC input pin
• f
ADCCLK
= ADC clock frequency
The selection of n
τ
will determine how much the voltage on C
s
is able to recover between samples. An
insufficient amount of recovery time will introduce a droop error by way of an undercharged C
s
. Table 7-2
shows the relationship between n
τ
and the estimated droop error.

For example, assuming the following parameters:
• n = 12-bits
• settling error =¼ LSB
• t
recovery
= 1ms
• n
τ
= 2
• R

• f
ADCCLK
= 30MHz
The minimum source capacitance would be calculated and rounded up to a common value:
Then the maximum source resistance would be calculated and rounded down to a common value:
Now the time constant (τ) and multiple (k) can be calculated as:
