I am using the 12bit ADC of the LPC1768 for sensor data accusation and naturally require very high reliability. On testing the same using a LPC1768 xplorer board, the results shows that there is a chance of error in every bit. On taking 8000 samples the following probability of error was observed.
err_pb = 0.0135 0.0265 0.0300 0.0289 0.0296 0.0331 0.0441 0.1571 0.1734 0.2404 0.4808 0.4325

The error in the last two bit is understandable (ground noise), but i am puzzled by the error in the higher bits. I tried it on both burst mode and the software controlled mode, with different frequencies of conversion. Still the error in the higher bit remains.

I would be grateful if someone could advice me on the source of error, whether the problem is only for LPC1768 xplorer or LPC1768 or in the programing.

What does 'err_pb' describe exactly???

There are so many possibilities:

- Stable supply voltage for the chip
- Stable reference voltage. And what source?
- Impedance of the measured voltage source
- Capacitance of the measured circuit
- High frequency switching nearby
- High currents nearby
- ...

See: http://www.nxp.com/documents/application_note/AN10974.pdf

IIRC this NGX board isn't isolating VDDA and VREFP...

Keil boards show how this can be done:

I think the main reason is that you should make ground of ADC and Microcontroller common.

Is it done by you?

Did you add a small capacitor (range 10nF) next to the ADC input pin to help the sample&hold circuit?
