RE: SAR ADC response times: Interface topology makes a difference (Part 2)

Hello Keruru,

Thank you for your interest in this blog. You just caught a typo error that had escaped my attention earlier.

'tTHROUGHPUT = tCONV + n* tCLK (as long as n*tCLK < tACQ – i.e., for slower clock speeds)' is incorrect. It should read 'tTHROUGHPUT = tCONV + n* tCLK (when n*tCLK > tACQ – i.e., for slower clock speeds)'.

I will get the blog updated soon.

Appreciate your attention!

Regards,

Kaustubh

One question regarding the equations:

tTHROUGHPUT = tCONV + tACQ (as long as n*tCLK < tACQ – i.e., for faster clock speeds)

tTHROUGHPUT = tCONV + n* tCLK (as long as n*tCLK < tACQ – i.e., for slower clock speeds)

Is "n*tCLK < tACQ " applied to both of "faster clock speeds" and "slower clock speeds" ?
