2.1.1.6 First Measurement

The first measurement of the ADC for the battery voltage needs to take into account the charging time of the capacitor. Assuming that the input is a step with a fast rise time (usually few ms which can be ignored), the time taken for the capacitor can be estimated from the simple capacitor charging equation. In this specific case, the charging time to reach 1% accuracy is about 45 ms. This has to be taken into account during the measurements. The wake-up from power on RESET for the CC32xx device is at least 1.1sec. So that gives more than enough time for the voltage at the capacitor to settle to its final value.
