 		 #145959 - ADC last digit stability
Hello friends,

There are many different types ADC'c around, successive approximation, dual slope, multi slope and sigma delta. I've played with 'em all. The problem is, always the last digit jumps around and in some cases(SAR in particular) the last two digits jump around. Now you may say, so what!, but digital multimeter manufactures did'nt say so what, since their readings are stable. Someone remarked that I need to implement a low pass (CR circuit) filter in software but how the hell do do that?

Cheers
Jason
