LTC1069-1
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Temperature Behavior
Any parasitic switching transients during the rise and
fall edges of the incoming clock are not part of the clock
feedthrough specifications. Switching transients have
frequency contents much higher than the applied clock;
their amplitude strongly depends on scope probing tech-
niques as well as grounding and power supply bypassing.
The clock feedthrough can be reduced, if bothersome, by
adding a single RC lowpass filter at the output pin (8) of
the LTC1069-1.
The power supply current of the LTC1069-1 has a positive
temperature coefficient. The GBW product of its internal
op amps is nearly constant and the speed of the device
doesnotdegradeathightemperatures. Figures3a, 3band
3c show the behavior of the maximum passband of the
device for various supplies and temperatures. The filter,
especially at 5V supply, has a passband behavior which
is nearly temperature independent.
Wideband Noise
Clock Feedthrough
The wideband noise of the filter is the total RMS value
of the device’s noise spectral density and determines the
operating signal-to-noise ratio. Most of the wideband
noise frequency contents lie within the filter passband.
The wideband noise cannot be reduced by adding post
filtering. The total wideband noise is nearly independent
of the clock frequency and depends slightly on the power
supply voltage (see Table 3). The clock feedthrough speci
fications are not part of the wideband noise.
The clock feedthrough is defined as the RMS value of the
clock frequency and its harmonics that are present at the
filter’s output pin (8). The clock feedthrough is tested with
the input pin (4) shorted to the AGND pin and depends on
PC board layout and on the value of the power supplies.
With proper layout techniques the values of the clock
feedthrough are shown on Table 2.
