5 Summary

Input settling is an important design consideration for ADC driving circuits. Without proper evaluation, distortion and memory cross-talk errors could occur, resulting in degraded sensing performance and accuracy.

By using the excellent resources provided by in the TI Precision Labs - SAR ADC Input Driver Design video series, the Analog Engineer's Calculator, and the guidance in this application report, input settling can be systematically evaluated to ensure that ADC driving circuits have appropriate settling performance.
