Sample Timing Considerations
When SAMPCON = 0 all Ax inputs are high impedance. When SAMPCON = 1,
the selected Ax input can be modeled as an RC low-pass filter during the
sampling time t
sample
, as shown below in Figure 26−5. An internal MUX-on
input resistance R
I
(maximum 2 k
Ω
) in series with capacitor C
I
(maximum
40 pF) is seen by the source. The capacitor C
I
voltage V
C
must be charged to
within
1/2
LSB of the source voltage V
S
for an accurate 12-bit conversion.

The resistance of the source R

and R

affect t

. The following equation
can be used to calculate the minimum sampling time t
