a. Values are at V

= 3.3V, F
ADC
=32 MHz unless otherwise noted.
b. Best design practices suggest that static or quiet digital I/O signals be configured adjacent to sensitive analog inputs to
reduce capacitive coupling and cross talk. Unexpected results can occur if a switching digital I/O is placed adjacent to
an ADC input channel or voltage reference input. In addition, analog signals configured adjacent to ADC input channels
or reference inputs must meet the R
ADC
equivalent input resistance given in this table and must be band-limited to 100
kHz or lower.
c. Two capacitors in parallel. Note that these capacitors should be as close to the die as possible.
d. Assumes external filtering network between VREFA+ and VREFA- as shown in Figure 27-28 on page 1866. External reference
noise level must be under 12bit (-74 dB) of Full Scale input, over input bandwidth, measured at VREFA+ - VREFA-.
e. Internal reference is connected directly between V
DDA
and GNDA (VREFi = V
DDA
- GNDA). In this mode, E
O
, E
G
, E
T
, and
dynamic specifications are adversely affected due to internal voltage drop and noise on V
DDA
and GNDA. Internal
reference voltage is selected when

i. This parameter is defined as the average of the differential inputs.
j. As shown in Figure 27-29 on page 1866, R
ADC
is the total equivalent resistance in the input line all the way up to the sampling
node at the input of the ADC.
k. See “System Clock Specification with ADC Operation” on page 1842 for full ADC clock frequency specification.
l. ADC conversion time (Tc) includes the ADC sample time (Ts).
m. Low noise environment is assumed in order to obtain values close to spec. Board must have good ground isolation
between analog and digital grounds, a clean reference voltage is assumed, and input signal must be bandlimited to
Nyquist bandwidth. No anti-aliasing filter is provided internally.
n. ADC static measurements taken by averaging over several samples. At least 20-sample averaging is assumed to obtain
expected typical or maximum spec values.
o. 12-bit DNL
p. Gain error is measured at max code after compensating for offset. Gain error is equivalent to "Full Scale Error." It can be
given in % of slope error, or in LSB, as done here.
q. Total Unadjusted Error is the maximum error at any one code versus the ideal ADC curve. It includes all other errors
(offset error, gain error and INL) at any given ADC code.
r. A low noise environment is assumed in order to obtain values close to spec. The board must have good ground isolation
between analog and digital grounds and a clean reference voltage. The input signal must be band-limited to Nyquist
bandwidth. No anti-aliasing filter is provided internally.
s. ADC dynamic characteristics are measured using low-noise board design, with low-noise reference voltage ( < -74dB
noise level in signal BW) and low-noise analog supply voltage. Board noise and ground bouncing couple into the ADC
and affect dynamic characteristics. Clean external reference must be used to achieve shown specs.
t. Differential signal with correct common mode, applied between two ADC inputs.
u. SDR = -THD in dB.
v. For higher frequency inputs, degradation in SDR should be expected.
w. SNDR = S/(N+D) = SINAD (in dB)
x. Effective number of bits (ENOB) can be calculated from SNDR: ENOB = (SNDR - 1.76) / 6.02.
y. Single ended inputs are more sensitive to board and trace noise than differential inputs; SNR and SNDR measurements
on single-ended inputs are highly dependent on how clean the test set-up is. If the input signal is not well-isolated on
the board, higher noise than specified could potentially be seen at the ADC output.
