7. Output is noisy with >10kHz inputs.

– This is a fundamental characteristic of this topol-

ogy. The LTC1966 is designed to work very well

with inputs of 1kHz or less. It works okay as high as

1MHz, but it is limited by aliased

∆Σ noise.

Solution: Bandwidth limit the input or digitally filter

the resulting output.

8. Large errors occur at crest factors approaching, but

less than 4.

– Insufficient averaging.

Solution: Increase CAVE. See “Crest Factor and AC +

DC Waveforms” section for discussion of output

droop.

9. Screwy results, errors > spec limits, typically 1% to 5%.

– High impedance (85k

Ω) and high accuracy (0.1%)

require clean boards! Flux residue, finger grime, etc.

all wreak havoc at this level.

Solution: Wash the board.

10. Gain is low by

≅1% or more, no other problems.

– Probably due to circuit loading. With a DMM or a

× scope probe, ZIN = 10MΩ. The LTC1966

output is 85k

Ω, resulting in –0.85% gain error.

Output impedance is higher with the DC accurate

post filter.

Solution: Remove the shunt loading or buffer the

output.

– Loading can also be caused by cheap averaging

capacitors.

Solution: Use a high quality metal film capacitor

for CAVE.
