APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Signal Bandwidth, Transition Noise and Noise

Equivalent Input Bandwidth

The LTC2452 includes a sinc1 type digital ﬁlter with the ﬁrst

notch located at f0 = 60Hz. As such, the 3dB input signal

bandwidth is 26.54Hz. The calculated LTC2452 input signal

attenuation vs frequency over a wide frequency range is

shown in Figure 19. The calculated LTC2452 input signal

attenuation vs frequency at low frequencies is shown in

Figure 20. The converter noise level is about 2.2μVRMS

and can be modeled by a white noise source connected

at the input of a noise-free converter.

On a related note, the LTC2452 uses two separate A/D

converters to digitize the positive and negative inputs.

Each of these A/D converters has 2.2μVRMS transition

noise. If one of the input voltages is within this small

transition noise band, then the output will ﬂuctuate one

bit, regardless of the value of the other input voltage. If

both of the input voltages are within their transition noise

bands, the output can ﬂuctuate 2 bits.

For a simple system noise analysis, the VIN drive circuit can

be modeled as a single-pole equivalent circuit character-

ized by a pole location fi and a noise spectral density ni.

If the converter has an unlimited bandwidth, or at least a

bandwidth substantially larger than fi, then the total noise

contribution of the external drive circuit would be:

n = ni

π /2• f

Then, the total system noise level can be estimated as

the square root of the sum of (Vn2) and the square of the

LTC2452 noise ﬂoor (~2.2μV2).
