Input impedance and ADC accuracy

In the following analysis, the input circuit corresponding to the precise channels is

considered.

To preserve the accuracy of the A/D converter, it is necessary that analog input pins have

low AC impedance. Placing a capacitor with good high frequency characteristics at the input

pin of the device can be effective: the capacitor should be as large as possible, ideally

infinite. This capacitor contributes to attenuating the noise present on the input pin;

furthermore, it sources charge during the sampling phase, when the analog signal source is

a high-impedance source.

A real filter can typically be obtained by using a series resistance with a capacitor on the

input pin (simple RC filter). The RC filtering may be limited according to the value of source
