2.3 Very Large Cs in ADC Driving Circuits

While the previous section showed that increasing Cs results in increased settling time, there is one exception: if Cs is made sufficiently large that the second term of the equation for k (reproduced below) becomes equal to (or greater) than the first term, k will become zero (or negative) and thus the settling time, given by k⋅τ, will become zero (or negative) regardless of the size of τ. Because the predicted settling time is effectively zero, the minimum S+H duration specified in the ADC data manual can be used! When this condition is used in the design of the ADC driving circuit, the circuit is said to be using "charge-sharing".

Equation 4. GUID-EFE631A3-A0D1-4D44-81DA-D8586C6E0AC6-low.gif

Table 2-2 shows an example of evaluating the equations under charge-sharing conditions.

Table 2-2 Settling Time Under Charge-Sharing Conditions
Parameter Charge Sharing Example
CS 102.4 nF
CH 12.5 pF
Cp 10 pF
Rs 50
RON 425Ω
n 12 bits
settling error 0.5 LSBs
τ 5.1 µs
k 0.0
Settling time 0.0 ns

Conceptually, the second term in the equation for k is compensating for the driver not needing to fully charge both Cs and CH. Instead, Cs is assumed to be pre-charged to the applied source voltage. This pre-charging occurs during the time when the ADC is converting and the S+H is inactive. When the S+H switch closes, the charge on Cs and CH will equalize. At the same time, the source will exponentially settle both Cs and CH towards the applied voltage. The large Cs is, the closer the voltage between Cs and CH will be to the source voltage after equalization. In the charge-sharing case, Cs is made so large that equalization alone is sufficient to get CH to within the settling error target.

CAUTION: For either high speed op-amp based design or charge-sharing based designs, sometimes simulation or analysis will predict that a S+H duration less than the minimum duration in the device data manual will allow for sufficient settling performance. Even in these cases, always select a S+H duration that meets the device data manual minimum specified S+H duration.
