Signal Connection Considerations
• The external capacitor is perfect (no leakage, no significant dielectric absorption
characteristics, etc.).
• All parasitic capacitance associated with the input signal is included in the value of
the external capacitor.
• Inductance is ignored.
• The "on" resistance of the internal switches is 0 ohms and the "off" resistance is
infinite.

a count of the actual source voltage during 10-bit conversions. Table 27-24 is based on the
RC network in Figure 27-53.
The following times are completely independent of the A/D
converter architecture (assuming the QADC is not affecting the
charging).

Filter Capacitor (CF)
The external circuit described in Table 27-24 is a low-pass filter. Measurements of an AC
component of the external signal must take the characteristics of this filter into account.
