2.6 Analytical Solution to Tracking Error

In a charge-sharing design, the total settling error is made up of two error components: the charge-sharing error and the tracking error. The charge-sharing error is determined by the relative sizes of the source capacitance, Cs, and the ADC's internal S+H capacitance, CH. The tracking error is determined by the ability of the source to recharge Cs through the external source resistance, Rs, in the time between samples. Since the recharge primarily occurs while the ADC sampling switch is open, a first-order exponential RC settling model is appropriate where the RC time constant, τ, is determined by Rs and Cs.

To simplify analysis, it is assumed that the total settling error budget is equally divided between charge-sharing error and tracking error. In the case of a total settling error budget of 0.5 LSBs, the target for each of the sub-components would be 0.25 LSBs. Regardless of the absolute magnitude of the error components, allowing 50% recovery in the time between samples results in equal error component magnitudes (equivalent to approximately 0.7 RC time constants). The equal error magnitudes in equilibrium are illustrated in Figure 2-7. At the beginning of each sample, charge equalizes between Cs and CH, resulting in a 0.25 LSBs drop in voltage. Then, in the time until the next conversion, the pin voltage charges exponentially back towards the applied DC voltage. Recovering from 0.5 LSBs to 0.25 LSBs requires 50% settling.

Since the criteria for equal error components requires 0.7 time constants, the following equation determines the approximate maximum sample rate given a fixed source impedance:

Equation 5. fs ≤ 1 / (0.7⋅RsCs)

Alternately, if a specific sample rate is required, the above equation can be rearranged to give the maximum source impedance for a known sample rate:

Equation 6. Rs ≤ 1 / (0.7⋅fsCs)

For example, consider a circuit with 12.5 pF CH, target sample rate of 10 ksps, and settling error target of 0.5 LSBs at 12-bit resolution. To get charge sharing error of 0.25 LSBs, Cs will be set to approximately 12.5 pF⋅(4096/0.25) = 204.8 nF. This will then yield a maximum source impedance of:

Equation 7. Rs ≤ 1 / (0.7⋅10 kHz⋅204.8 nF)
Equation 8. Rs ≤ 698 Ω
Note: In the case that the maximum sample rate does not meet the application requirements, an op-amp can be added to isolate the existing source resistance from the circuit. Rs should then be selected to be large enough to ensure the op-amp is stable when driving Cs. This op-amp should also have a bandwidth of at least 4 times that of the RC time constant formed from Rs and Cs.
