APPLICATION INFORMATION
simplified analog input analysis
Using the equivalent circuit in Figure 2, the time required to charge the analog input capacitance from 0 V to
V
S
within 1/2 LSB can be derived as follows:
The capacitance charging voltage is given by

This time must be less than the converter sample time shown in the timing diagrams.
