Normal Mode Rejection and Antialiasing
One of the advantages delta-sigma ADCs offer over
conventional ADCs is on-chip digital filtering. Combined
with a large oversample ratio, the LTC2495 significantly
simplifies antialiasing filter requirements. Additionally,
the input current cancellation feature allows external low
pass filtering without degrading the DC performance of
the device.
The SINC
4
digital filter provides excellent normal mode
rejection at all frequencies except DC and integer multiples
of the modulator sampling frequency (f
S
) (see Figures
18 and 19). The modulator sampling frequency is f
S
=
15,360Hz while operating with its internal oscillator and
f
S
= f
EOSC
/20 when operating with an external oscillator
of frequency f
EOSC
.
When using the internal oscillator, the LTC2495 is designed
to reject line frequencies. As shown in Figure 20, rejec-
tion nulls occur at multiples of frequency f
N
, where f
N
is
determined by the input control bits FA and FB (f
N
= 50Hz
or 60Hz or 55Hz for simultaneous rejection). Multiples of
the modulator sampling rate (f
S
= f
N
256) only reject noise
to 15dB (see Figure 21); if noise sources are present at
these frequencies antialiasing will reduce their effects.
The user can expect to achieve this level of performance
using the internal oscillator, as shown in Figures 22, 23,
and 24. Measured values of normal mode rejection are
