1.2 Symptoms of Inadequate Settling

Once a voltage has been captured into the S+H capacitor, the ADC translates this voltage into a digital conversion result during the conversion phase. The CPU can then use this result to control or monitor the system. However, if the captured voltage does not accurately represent the applied voltage due to settling error, the final conversion result causes errors even if the ADC conversion process is perfect.

These settling errors manifests differently depending on whether the ADC is sampling the same channel repeatedly or scanning through multiple channels in a sequence. The settling errors also manifest differently depending on the starting voltage on the S+H capacitor at the beginning of the acquisition phase. Some ADC architectural implementations have a starting S+H voltage close to the previously sampled voltage while other architectures usually start the acquisition phase with a discharged S+H capacitor.
