To
calculate
the
minimum
acquisition
time,
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.
EQUATION 18-1:
ACQUISITION TIME
EQUATION 18-2:
A/D MINIMUM CHARGING TIME
required acquisition time, TACQ. This calculation is
based
on
the
following
application
system
assumptions:
CHOLD
=
120 pF
Rs
=
2.5 k
Conversion Error
≤
1/2 LSb
VDD
=
5V
→ Rss = 7 k
Temperature
=
50
°C (system max.)
VHOLD
=
0V @ time = 0
EXAMPLE 18-1:
CALCULATING THE MINIMUM REQUIRED ACQUISITION TIME
TACQ
=
Amplifier Settling Time + Holding Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient
=TAMP + TC + TCOFF
VHOLD =
(VREF – (VREF/2048)) (1 – e(-Tc/CHOLD(RIC + RSS + RS)))
or
TC
=
-(120 pF)(1 k
+ RSS + RS) ln(1/2048)
TACQ =TAMP + TC + TCOFF
Temperature coefficient is only required for temperatures > 25
°C.
TACQ =2
s + TC + [(Temp – 25°C)(0.05 s/°C)]
TC
