6.3.5 Conversion Time

The length of time for the LDC0851 to complete one conversion and update the output is called the conversion time and is a function of sensor frequency. The conversion time is calculated with the following equation:

Equation 2. GUID-C3FF2705-7C65-4667-893E-25BAFFD1918D-low.gif

where:

  • tCONVERSION is the conversion time interval
  • ƒSENSOR is the sensor frequency given by Equation 6

It is important to note that the frequency of the sensor increases in the presence of conductive objects. Therefore the worst case conversion time is calculated with no target present or when the target is at the maximum distance from the sensor.
