A method for minimizing the impact of stress conditions on the QADC is to strategically allocate QADC
inputs so that the lower accuracy inputs are adjacent to the inputs most likely to see stress conditions.
Also, suitable source impedances should be selected to meet design goals and minimize the effect of stress
conditions.
