content: Circuit Cookbook: ADC's, p.10 & p.16 resistor 200 kOhm seems very high for SAR ADC. Brief search in the ads7042 data sheet shows correct value, p.25 - 200 Ohm.

content: A most useful little book on that page is the "The Signal" free ebook, down on the second row. It covers, in an easily accessible form,so manyof the opamp questions I've seen in this section.http://www.ti.com/lit/slyt701

content: Just a quick comment on the cookbook circuit. The value of that filter resistor should be different depending on the sampling rate of the converter and the amplifier used. This circuit example is for a very low power system, so the sampling rate is very low. When the sampling rate is low, the time to charge the internal sample and hold capacitor is long and a larger time constant can be used. Also, for a low power amplifier (like the one in the circuit) a large series resistor may be required for stability. In any case, the transient analysis simulation (page 14) shows that the circuit settles well. The link below is to a video series that shows how to select the RC circuit and confirm the accuracy using simulation.https://training.ti.com/ti-precision-labs-adcs

content: Title says 1-ksps on p.10, and for this specific sampling rate error is very big:C, pF F, Hz R, Ohm R-lpf Error, %15 1000 10610329.5 200000 1.85008236122648where C - capacitance S/H, and error is calculated as two resistors voltage divider. To get 1/2 LSB sampling rate has to be less than 5 sps.

content: Quote from: amyk on October 11, 2025, 01:49:08 am@amyk, thank you. But I'm not sure it's latest version of the books. At least the one with "slyy138" in URL.On preview (see my link or attached image above) covers are dark, and second book calls "Data converters", not just "ADCs".Did you really open page with my link (and click "View e-book") or have just "updated" links from message of @flash2b?QuoteYes, I thought that too.
