and poor op amp settling.

RC Input Filtering
It is possible to filter the inputs with an RC network as
shown in Figure 11. For large values of C
capacitive input switching currents are averaged into a net
DC current. A filter should be chosen with a small resistor
and large capacitor to prevent DC drops across the resis-
tor. The magnitude of the DC current is approximately I
= 100pF × V
When running at the minimum cycle time of 21.5µs, the
input current equals 23µA at V
of 5Ω will cause 0.1LSB of full-scale error. If a larger filter
resistor must be used, errors can be reduced by increasing

Input Leakage Current
Input leakage currents also can create errors if the source
resistance gets too large. For example, the maximum input
leakage specification of 1µA (at 125°C) flowing through a
source resistance of 1kΩ will cause a voltage drop of 1mV
or 0.8LSB. This error will be much reduced at lower
temperatures because leakage drops rapidly (see typical
performance characteristic curve Input Channel Leakage
Current vs Temperature).
SAMPLE AND HOLD
Single-Ended Input
The LTC1293/4/6 provides a built-in sample and hold
(S&H) function for all signals acquired in the single-ended
mode (COM pin grounded). The sample and hold allows
the LTC1293/4/6 to convert rapidly varying signals (see
typical performance characteristic curve of S&H Acquisi-
tion Time vs Source Resistance). The input voltage is
sampled during the t
sampling interval begins as the bit preceding the MSBF bit
is shifted in and continues until the falling edge of the PS
bit is received. On this falling edge the S&H goes into the
hold mode and the conversion begins.
Differential Input
With a differential input the A/D no longer converts a
single voltage but converts the difference between two
voltages. The voltage on the selected “+” input is sampled
and held and can be rapidly time varying. The voltage on
the “–” pin must remain constant and be free of noise and
ripple throughout the conversion time. Otherwise the
differencing operation will not be done accurately. The
conversion time is 12 CLK cycles. Therefore a change in
the –IN input voltage during this interval can cause con-
version errors. For a sinusoidal voltage on the –IN input
this error would be:
