LTC2324 tCYC Time between Conversions Max time

Thread Summary

The user inquires about the impact of variable time between conversions (tCYC) on ADC accuracy for the LTC2324-12 and similar ADCs (LTC2325, LTC2320, LTC2351, LTC2357). The final answer confirms that exceeding the maximum tCYC of 1000us can lead to a gradual loss of accuracy. For variable repetition rates in a DPSS laser application, the user must either add conversions during idle times or set the ADC into power-saving mode to maintain accuracy.

Q:

LTC2324-12 Datasheet Page 5 Line:

tCYC    Time between Conversions            (Note 11)  tCYC = tCNVH + tCONV + tREADOUT   min 0.5us  max 1000us

and Page 6  Note 11:

Note 11: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, the minimum Sampling Frequency is 1/1000us = 1KSPS ? If Time between Conversions  is more than 1000us, the adc accuracy will be lost , or something is going wrong?

For application with variable tCYC, for example,  if tcyc sequence  like this : 1s 0.5s 100ms 10us  10s 1us 2ms 1us 1us 1us 5s........  , does the adc results will be right?

Thanks.

Does this can be applied for LTC2325 LTC2320 LTC2351  LTC2357 ...series?

Thanks.
