7. ANALOG SIGNALS
The CS5373A has multiple differential analog
inputs and outputs. The modulator analog in-
puts are separated into rough and fine charge
differential pairs (INR±, INF±) for maximum
sampling accuracy. Both sets of modulator in-
puts require a simple differential anti-alias RC
filter to ensure high-frequency signals do not
alias into the measurement bandwidth.
The test DAC has a precision differential out-
put (OUT±) that provides the best analog per-
formance, but with only minimal drive
capability. A buffered output (BUF±) can drive
an external load, but with reduced analog per-
formance. Finally, the test DAC internal anti-
alias filter requires a dedicated capacitor con-
nection (CAP±) to eliminate undesired high-
frequency signals.
7.1 INR±, INF± Modulator Inputs
The modulator analog inputs are separated
into differential rough and fine signals (INR±,
INF±). The positive half of the differential input
signal is connected to INR+ and INF+, while
the negative half is attached to INF- and INR-.
The INR± pins are switched-capacitor ‘rough
charge’ inputs that pre-charge the internal an-
alog sampling capacitor before it is connected
to the INF± fine input pins.
7.1.1 Modulator Input Impedance
The modulator input has a dynamic switched-
capacitor architecture and so has a rough
charge input impedance that is inversely pro-
portional to the input master clock frequency
and the input capacitor size, [1 / (f * C)].
Internal to the modulator, the rough inputs
(INR±) pre-charge the sampling capacitor
used by the fine inputs (INF±), therefore the in-
put current to the fine inputs is very low and the
effective input impedance is orders of magni-
tude above the impedance of the rough inputs.
7.1.2 Modulator Anti-alias Filter
The modulator inputs are required to be band-
width limited to ensure modulator loop stability
and prevent high-frequency signals from alias-
ing into the measurement band. The use of
simple single-pole differential low-pass RC fil-
ters across the INR± and INF± inputs ensures
high-frequency signals are rejected before
they can alias into the measurement band.
