A.6.3 Factors Influencing Accuracy
Three factors — source resistance, source capacitance and current injection — have an influence on the
accuracy of the ATD.
A.6.3.1 Source Resistance
Due to the input pin leakage current as specified in Table A-6 and Table A-7 in conjunction with the source
resistance there will be a voltage drop from the signal source to the ATD input. The maximum source
resistance R
S
specifies results in an error of less than 1/2 LSB (2.5mV) at the maximum leakage current.
If device or operating conditions are less than worst case or leakage-induced error is acceptable, larger
values of source resistance are allowed.
A.6.3.2 Source Capacitance
When sampling an additional internal capacitor is switched to the input. This can cause a voltage drop due
to charge sharing with the external and the pin capacitance. For a maximum sampling error of the input
voltage ≤ 1LSB, then the external filter capacitor, C
f
≥ 1024 * (C

).
A.6.3.3 Current Injection
There are two cases to consider.
1. A current is injected into the channel being converted. The channel being stressed has conversion
values of 0x3FF (0xFF in 8-bit mode) for analog inputs greater than VRH and 0x000 for values
less than VRL unless the current is higher than specified as disruptive conditions.
