APPLICATI

I FOR ATIO

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

The LTC1282 has exceptionally high speed sampling capa-

bility. FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) test techniques are

used to characterize the ADC’s frequency response, distor-

tion and noise at the rated throughput. By applying a low

distortion sine wave and analyzing the digital output using

an FFT algorithm, the ADC’s spectral content can be

examined for frequencies outside the fundamental. Figure

2 shows a typical LTC1282 FFT plot.

Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio

The Signal-to-Noise plus Distortion Ratio [S/(N + D)] is the

ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input

frequency to the RMS amplitude of all other frequency

components at the A/D output. The output is band limited

to frequencies from above DC and below half the sampling

frequency. Figure 2 shows a typical LTC1282 FFT plot.

Total Harmonic Distortion

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS

sum of all harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental

itself. The out-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency

band between DC and half the sampling frequency. THD is

expressed as:

THD = 20log

√V

2 + V32 + V42 ... + VN2

where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental fre-

quency and V2 through VN are the amplitudes of the

second through Nth harmonics. The typical THD specifi-

cation in the Dynamic Accuracy table includes the 2nd

through 5th harmonics. With a 70kHz input signal, the

LTC1282 has a typical – 82dB THD as shown in Figure 4.

Effective Number of Bits

The Effective Number of Bits (ENOBs) is a measurement of

the resolution of an ADC and is directly related to

S/(N + D) by the equation:

N = [S/(N + D) – 1.76]/6.02

where N is the Effective Number of Bits of resolution and

S/(N + D) is expressed in dB. At the maximum sampling

rate of 140kHz the LTC1282 maintains 11.3 ENOBs at

70kHz input frequency. Refer to Figure 3.
