11 Typical Performances
11.1 Input impedance
The PGAs of the ZoomingADC are a switched capacitor based blocks (see Switched Capacitor Principle section). This
means that it does not use resistors to fix gains, but capacitors and switches. This has important implications on the
nature of the input impedance of the block.
Using switched capacitors is the reason why, while a conversion is done, the input impedance on the selected channel
of the PGAs is inversely proportional to the sampling frequency fs and to stage gain as given in
The input impedance observed is the input impedance of the first PGA stage that is enabled or the input impedance of
the ADC if all three stages are disabled.
Cg multiplied by gain is the equivalent gain capacitor and Cp is the parasitic capacitor of the first enabled stage. The
values for each ZoomingADC bloc are provided in
