2.8 Charge-Sharing Circuit Advantages

The previous sections describe how a charge sharing circuit can be constructed as an alternative to high-speed op-amp based ADC driving circuits. This can be done for a variety of reasons:

  • Low Latency

    A charge-sharing design can always use the minimum S+H time. If the application goal is to reduce the latency between ADC trigger and ADC sample completion, using a shorter S+H time can be advantageous. Achieving equivalent settling time with a high-speed op-amp based design may require extremely high op-amp bandwidth.

  • Low Cost

    Charge-sharing designs can sometimes entirely eliminate an op-amp channel from the design. If the channel sample rate is slow enough, a charge-sharing design can be used to directly interface to sensors with large output impedance. This also includes directly interfacing to a voltage divider, which will have a large equivalent output impedance in order to minimize static current draw.

  • Low-Pass Filtering

    High-speed op-amp designs generally can not provide significant low-pass filtering (including anti-aliasing filtering) in the drive stage due to the need to keep the R and C component values very low to ensure fast settling. In these designs if significant low-pass filtering is needed, a separate filter stage is built before the ADC drive stage. In contrast, charge-sharing input designs can many times also provide significant low-pass filtering due to the large source capacitor size needed to meet the charge-sharing criterion.
