External signal sources vary in the ability to drive an analog signal quickly and effectively. To achieve rated resolution, the signal source must charge the sampling capacitor in the ADC core to within 0.5LSBs of the signal voltage. The acquisition window is the amount of time the sampling capacitor is allowed to charge and is configurable for SOCx by the ADCSOCxCTL.ACQPS register. This configurable parameter can be also used to provide diagnostic coverage for the input signal path and ADC sampling capacitor logic. The test can be done by redundant conversion of the same input signal by ADC using the preset ACQPS configuration and an ACQPS configuration higher than the preset configuration. The results thus obtained have to be within a predefined range determined by the application and ADC specification parameters.
