The minimum value for CIN is determined by the ac-
curacy required, the time taken to sample the input
and the input impedance during that time, while the
maximum value is determined by the required fre-
quency response and the value of RS.
Thus for a resistive input A/D connector where :
TS = Sample time (Seconds)
RD = Device input resistance (Ohms)
VIN = Input voltage (Volts)
k = Required accuracy (%)
Q1 = Charge on capacitor before sampling
Q2 = Charge on capacitor after sampling
ID = Device input current (Amps)
Thus :
k ⋅ Q1
Q1– Q2 = 100
but
Q1 = CIN VIN
and
Q1– Q2 = ID – TS
so that
and
so
k ⋅ CIN – VIN
ID TS =
100
ID ⋅ TS
CIN (min) = VIN ⋅ k Farad
100 ⋅ TS
CIN (min) = k ⋅ RD Farad
The calculationfor a sample and hold type convertor
is even simpler :
k = Required accuracy (%)
CH = Hold capacitor (Farad)
100 ⋅ CH
CIN (min) = k
