up to 150% of full scale. In many industrial applications,
it is not uncommon to have to measure microvolt level
signals superimposed over volt level perturbations and
LTC2411/LTC2411-1 are eminently suited for such tasks.
When the perturbation is differential, the specification of
interest is the normal mode rejection for large input signal
levels. With a reference voltage V
REF
=␣ 5V, the LTC2411/
LTC2411-1 have a full-scale differential input range of 5V
peak-to-peak. Figures 37 and 38 show measurement re-
sults for the LTC2411 normal mode rejection ratio with a
7.5V peak-to-peak (150% of full scale) input signal super-
imposed over the more traditional nor
mal mode rejection
ratio results obtained with a 5V peak-to-peak (full scale)
input signal and Figure 39 shows the corresponding mea-
surement result for the LTC2411-1. It is clear that the
LTC2411/LTC2411-1 rejection performance is maintained
with no compromises in this extreme situation. When op-
erating with large input signal levels, the user must ob-
serve that such signals do not violate the device absolute
maximum ratings.
BRIDGE APPLICATIONS
Typical strain gauge based bridges deliver only 2mV/Volt
of excitation. As the maximum reference voltage of the
LTC2411/LTC2411-1 is 5V, remote sensing of applied
excitation without additional circuitry requires that excita-
tion be limited to 5V. This gives only 10mV full scale, which
can be resolved to 1 part in 5000 without averaging. For
many solid state sensors, this is comparable to the sensor.
