OUTPUT NOISE AND RESOLUTION SPECIFICATION
The AD7739 can be operated with chopping enabled or
disabled, allowing the ADC to be programmed to optimize
either the offset drift performance or the throughput rate and
channel switching time. Noise tables for these two primary
modes of operation are outlined below for a selection of output
rates and settling times.
The AD7739 noise performance depends on the selected
chopping mode, the filter word (FW) value, and the selected
analog input range. The AD7739 noise does not vary
significantly with MCLK frequency.
CHOPPING ENABLED
The first mode, in which the AD7739 is configured with
chopping enabled (chop = 1), provides very low noise with
lower output rates.
Table 5 to Table 7 show the −3 dB frequencies and typical
performance versus the channel conversion time and equivalent
output data rate, respectively.
Table 5 shows the typical output rms noise. Table 6 shows the
typical effective resolution based on rms noise. Table 7 shows
the typical output peak-to-peak resolution, representing values
for which there is no code flicker within a 6-sigma limit. The
peak-to-peak resolutions are not calculated based on rms noise
but on peak-to-peak noise.
These typical numbers are generated from 4096 data samples
acquired in continuous conversion mode with an analog input
voltage set to 0 V and MCLK = 6.144 MHz. The conversion
time is selected via the channel conversion time register.
