[sdiy] ADc & DAC voltage dividers.. fixed resistors values finally..

[René Schmitz]

In addition to what Veronica wrote, you might also need to watch out for 
the bias current of the ADCs VIN pin.

10uA amounts to about 19mV when looking into 3.01k||4.99k. Fine if the 
current was constant over temperature

and the voltage range. But likely it isn't and causes errors. The 
solution for both (the bandwith as pointed out below, and the offset 
current)

is to lower the impedance driving VIN. I would maybe move the divider 
ahead of the opamp, and drive the pin directly.

With a bit of protection for the VIN pin, say by current limiting the 
opamps output.


Best,

  René

C is 40pf in the ADC, so the input impedance should be less than 2k5. Your drive impedance is higher and you added a significant capacitor load too. Were you meaning to put a 3Khz LPF ahead of the ADC?
