3.1 Example System

Consider a system with the following ADC parameters:

  • F280049 C2000 MCU operating in 12-bit external reference mode
  • The ADCs are driven by an 100kHz ePWM trigger source (ePWM1 SOCA)
  • Two ADCs are used: ADCA and ADCB
  • Four voltages to are converted: V1 through V4
  • V1 and V2 are assigned to ADCA and V3 and V4 are assigned to ADCB

The timing diagram of the example system can be seen in Figure 3-1.

Furthermore, consider that V2 is a high-voltage sensing circuit that uses a voltage divider comprised of a 1MΩ and 7.5kΩ resistors to scale down a 400 V signal to a 3.0 V range compatible with the ADC. The voltage divider directly drives the ADC input (no op-amp is used to buffer in the input) and the external capacitor has been selected to be 250 pF. The schematic for this circuit can be seen in Figure 3-2.

As the subsequent sections will demonstrate, it would be difficult to select a S+H duration that is long enough for this circuit to achieve acceptable settling performance and the sample rate of 100 kHz rate is also too high to support a charge sharing input design. This will necessitate the alternate methods for mitigating memory cross-talk considered later in this document.

Note: An easy way to reduce the source impedance (and thus improve the settling time) would be to proportionally reduce both resistors in the voltage divider. However, this will increase the static bias current flowing through the resistor divider. For applications with aggressive power consumption requirements, the desire to not increase this bias current may be one reason why the source impedance is kept high.
