58.8.6.1 Track and Hold Time versus Source Output Impedance

The figure below shows a simplified acquisition path.

Figure 58-16. 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
    Table 58-38. Number of Tau:n
    Resolution (bits) 12 13 14 15 16
    RES 0 2 3 4 5
    n 8 9 10 11 12

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