57.8.6.1 Track and Hold Time versus Source Output Impedance

The figure below shows a simplified acquisition path.

Figure 57-16. Simplified Acquisition Path

During the tracking phase, the AFE tracks the input signal during the tracking time shown below:

tTRACK = n × CIN × (RON+ZSOURCE)/1000

  • Tracking time expressed in ns and ZSOURCE expressed in Ω.
  • n depends on the expected accuracy
  • RON= 2 kOhm

The AFEC already includes a tracking time of 15 tAFE Clock.
