MAX1067/MAX1068
During the acquisition, the analog input (AIN_) charges
capacitor CDAC. At the end of the acquisition interval
the T/H switches open. The retained charge on CDAC
represents a sample of the input.
In hold mode, the capacitive DAC adjusts during the
remainder of the conversion cycle to restore node
ZERO to zero within the limits of 14-bit resolution. At the
end of the conversion, force CS high and then low to
reset the T/H switches back to track mode (AIN_),
where CDAC charges to the input signal again.
The time required for the T/H to acquire an input signal
is a function of how quickly its input capacitance is
charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high,
the acquisition time lengthens and more time must be
allowed between conversions. The acquisition time
(tACQ) is the maximum time the device takes to acquire
the signal. Use the following formula to calculate acqui-
sition time:
tACQ = 11(RS + RIN + RDS(ON)) 45pF + 0.3s
where RIN = 340
, RS = the input signal’s source
impedance, RDS(ON) = 60
, and tACQ is never less
than 729ns. A source impedance less than 200
does
not significantly affect the ADC’s performance. The
