2.2 Increased Cs in High-Speed ADC Driving Circuits

To implement a charge-sharing input design, Cs will be made very large. Care must be taken, however, because a large Cs is detrimental in a typical high-speed ADC driving circuit. The need to keep Rs and Cs small in the high speed ADC driving circuit can be understood by looking at the equation for the approximate time constant and settling time given by the equations below.

An approximation of the required settling time can be determined using an RC settling model. The time constant for the model is given by the equation:

Equation 1. GUID-D505DBF4-3D78-4F9D-9490-FFEAB3B07FE3-low.gif

And the number of time constants needed is given by the equation:

Equation 2. GUID-A65BA233-9B48-4A18-A824-05B0B5EF9FBF-low.gif

So the total S+H time should be set to approximately:

Equation 3. GUID-FFC5146C-EF89-4106-9EA7-5464B6E27E69-low.gif

Where the following parameters are provided by the ADC input model in the device-specific data manual:

  • n = ADC resolution (in bits)
  • RON = ADC sampling switch resistance (in Ohms)
  • CH = ADC sampling capacitor (in pF)
  • CP = ADC channel parasitic input capacitance (in pF)

And the following parameters are dependent on the application design:

  • settling error = tolerable settling error (in LSBs)
  • Rs = ADC driving circuit source impedance (in Ohms)
  • CS = capacitance on ADC input pin (in pF)

From the above equations, it is clear that increasing Rs will result in strictly longer settling time because Rs is present in both terms of τ and has no effect on k. On the other hand, increasing CS will increase τ but simultaneously reduce k due to increasing the ratio of CS to CH in the second term in k. However, increased CS will result in longer settling time as the examples in Table 2-2 demonstrate. This is because the time constant, τ, increases linearly while the number of time constants needed, k, decreases logarithmically. Therefore, high-speed ADC driving circuit designs generally keep the magnitude of CS small (typically 20 times CH) because increasing CS results in additional settling time.
