In a sinc
3
filter response (shown in Figure 46 and Figure 47), the location of the first notch occurs at the
frequency of output data rate f
DATA
= f
CLK
/OSR. The –3dB point is located at half the Nyquist frequency or f
DATA
/4.
For some applications, it may be necessary to use another filter type with different frequency response.
Performance can be improved, for example, by using a cascaded filter structure. The first decimation stage could
be built of a sinc
3
filter with a low OSR and the second stage using a high-order filter.

The effective number of bits (ENOB) is often used to compare the performance of ADCs and ΔΣ modulators.
Figure 48 illustrates the ENOB of the AMC1204 and AMC1204B with different oversampling ratios. In this data
sheet, this number is calculated from SNR using Equation 2:

In motor control applications, a very fast response time for overcurrent detection is required. The time for fully
settling the filter depends on its order; that is, a sinc
3
filter requires three data clocks for full settling (with f
DATA
=
f
CLK
/OSR). Therefore, for overcurrent protection, filter types other than sinc
3
might be a better choice; an
alternative is the sinc
2
filter. Figure 49 compares the settling times of different filter orders with sincfast being a
modified sinc
2
filter with behavior as shown in Equation 3.
