VIN– RL ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output coding of the AD7823 is straight binary. The designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB values (i.e., Figure 9. DC Current Measurement Scheme 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, etc.). The LSB size is = VREF/256. The ideal trans- fer characteristic for the AD7823 is shown in Figure 11 below.
DC Acquisition Time
The ADC starts a new acquisition phase at the end of a conver- sion and ends on the falling edge of the CONVST signal. At the
111...111
end of a conversion there is a settling time associated with the
111...110
sampling circuit. This settling time lasts approximately 100 ns. The analog signal on VIN+ is also being acquired during this settling time; therefore, the minimum acquisition time needed is approximately 100 ns.

Figure 11. Transfer Characteristic Figure 10. Equivalent Sampling Circuit During the acquisition phase, the sampling capacitor must be charged to within a 1/2 LSB of its final value. The time it takes to charge the sampling capacitor (tCHARGE) is given by the follow- ing formula: tCHARGE = 6.2 × (R2 + 125 Ω) × 3.5 pF REV. C –7–
