How to get the best ADC accuracy

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

VAIN if the capacitor is not fully charged by the analog source.

If the analog input signal changes, then the analog signal frequency (FAIN) should be such

that the time period of this analog signal is at least: 10 × RAIN × (CAIN + Cp).

TAIN = analog signal time period = 1/FAIN.

We have:



Therefore:



For example:

For RAIN = 25 k, CAIN = 7 pF, Cp = 3 pF, this gives:



Thus, the maximum frequency of the source will be:

So for the above defined source characteristics (capacitance and resistance), the frequency

of the source must not exceed 400 kHz, otherwise the ADC conversion result will be not

accurate.
