The output coding of the AD7810 is straight binary. The designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB values Figure 9. DC Current Measurement Scheme (i.e., 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, etc.). The LSB size is = VREF/1024. The

The time it takes to charge the sampling capacitor (tCHARGE) is given by the fol- lowing formula: tCHARGE = 7.6 × (R2 + 125 Ω) × 3.5 pF REV. B –7–
