In cases where large bypass capacitors are required on
the reference inputs (C
REF
> .01µF), full-scale and linear-
ity errors are proportional to the value of the reference
resistance. Every ohm of reference resistance produces
a full-scale error of approximately 0.5ppm (while operat-
ing with the internal oscillator) (see Figures 12 and 13). If
the input common mode voltage is equal to the reference
common mode voltage, a linearity error of approximately
0.67ppm per 100Ω of reference resistance results (see
Figure 14). In applications where the input and reference
common mode voltages are different, the errors increase.
A 1V difference in between common mode input and
common mode reference results in a 6.7ppm INL error
for every 100Ω of reference resistance.
In addition to the reference sampling charge, the reference
ESD protection diodes have a temperature dependent leak-
age current. This leakage current, nominally 1nA (±10nA
max) results in a small, gain error. A 100Ω reference
resistance will create a 0.5µV full-scale error.
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 LTC2489 significantly
simplifies antialiasing filter requirements. Additionally,
the input current cancellation feature allows external low
pass filtering without degrading the DC performance of
the device.
