Figure 1. Input Impedances for Settling Time Calculations Diagram
Figure 1 shows the simplified diagram of input imped-
ances for settling time calculations. Sample time is
divided into two parts:
Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
To achieve the best results when using the DS1843,
1) t : Internal settling time (max 250ns). During this
IST
decouple the power-supply pin, V , with a 0.01µF or
CC
time, voltage V (V
stant of:
- V
) rises with a time con-

DS1843 Estimated Settling Time
The settling time is dependent on the gain ratio of the
current mirror used at the input of the DS1843. For
example, the MAX4007 includes a 10:1 ratio current
mirror. This requires a 5kΩ resistor to create a 1V full-
scale output with 2mA current input to the MAX4007.
This resistor can be decreased to 2.5kΩ by using the
DS1842, which has a 5:1 ratio current mirror.
2) t : During this period two things happen:

R : Input resistor. The current mirror creates a voltage

Approximate accuracy calculations can be done for an
input voltage based on the above impedance values.
These calculations can be divided into three parts.
