5.2.3. Settling Time Requirements
When the ADC0 input configuration is changed (i.e., a different MUX or PGA selection is made), a minimum track-
ing time is required before an accurate conversion can be performed. This tracking time is determined by the ADC0
MUX resistance, the ADC0 sampling capacitance, any external source resistance, and the accuracy required for the
conversion. Figure 5.4 shows the equivalent ADC0 input circuits for both Differential and Single-ended modes.
Notice that the equivalent time constant for both input circuits is the same. The required settling time for a given set-
tling accuracy (
SA
) may be approximated by Equation 5.1. When measuring the Temperature Sensor output,
R
TOTAL
reduces to
R
MUX
. An absolute minimum settling time of 1.5 µs is required after any MUX or PGA selection. Note
that in low-power tracking mode, three SAR clocks are used for tracking at the start of every conversion. For most
applications, these three SAR clocks will meet the tracking requirements.
Where:
SA
is the settling accuracy, given as a fraction of an LSB (for example, 0.25 to settle within 1/4 LSB)
t
is the required settling time in seconds
R
TOTAL
is the sum of the ADC0 MUX resistance and any external source resistance.
n
is the ADC resolution in bits (12).
