Select high-grade C0G (NP0) capacitor for
CFIL to improve linearity and reduce settling errors.
On the battery monitor circuit using bipolar
supply, connect the REFA and REFB input reference pins to GND using
short, low impedance connections.
On the battery monitor circuit using unipolar
supply, use a precision, low-noise, low output impedance reference circuits to drive
REFA and REFB inputs.
Use precision 0.05%, low drift resistors for
RDIV1 and RDIV2 to minimize error and drift on the voltage
divider. The resistor values are scaled for a 4.2V battery cell and a 5V full-scale range
ADC.
The R-C filter placed at the ADC128S102-SP input
drives the SAR as a charge kickback filter. The filter component values depend on the data
converter sampling rate, the ADC sample-and-hold structure, and the data converter
requirements. The filter combination (RFIL and CFIL) is tuned for
ADC sample-and-hold settling performance while maintaining amplifier stability. The
component value selection is dependent on the data converter sampling rate, the ADC
sample-and-hold structure.
The R-C filter values shown in this example
provide good stability and settling performance for the LMP7704-SP driving the
ADC128S102-SP 12-bit, SAR ADC at 500kSPS sampling rate. If the circuit is modified, or a
higher sampling rate is required, the circuit designer can select a different buffer
amplifier and R-C filter values depending on the ADC characteristics, and application
needs.
