AD5934 performance compare to AD5933

There is some impact on impedance accuracy when the sampling rate is reduced but it is difficult to quantify since it depends on multiple factors, including the nature of the impedance being measured.

I am attaching a simulation model that includes the ADC and the DSP so that you can evaluate the degradation in your particular use case.

LTSpice does not have a way to display numerical results, so the outcome of the formulas that emulate the DSP can be seen in the Error Log file.

Thank you for answering.

Is there delay in the measurment time comparing to AD5933?,because of the change in the ADC sampling rate? 

I could not run the stimulation in the LTspice software, error log is attached.

Best regards,

Gal 

Yes, the AD9834 takes longer to perform the measurement than the AD9833.
