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 impedance of the transducer or circuit supplying the analog signal to

be measured. The filter at the input pins must be designed taking into account the dynamic characteristics of the input signal

(bandwidth) and the equivalent input impedance of the ADC itself.
