A low-pass filter to reduce noise connects it to an opera-
tional amplifier configured as a buffer. This amplifier should
have a unity-gain bandwidth greater than 4MHz, low noise,
and input/output common-mode ranges that support V
REF
.
Following the buffer are capacitors placed close to the
DDC112 V
REF
pin. Even though the circuit in Figure 6 might
appear to be unstable due to the large output capacitors, it
works well for most operational amplifiers. It is NOT recom-
mended that series resistance be placed in the output lead
to improve stability since this can cause droop in V
REF
which
produces large offsets.
DDC112 Frequency Response
The frequency response of the DDC112 is set by the front end
integrators and is that of a traditional continuous time integra-
tor, as shown in Figure 7. By adjusting T
INT
, the user can
change the 3dB bandwidth and the location of the notches in
the response. The frequency response of the ∆Σ converter that
follows the front end integrator is of no consequence because
the converter samples a held signal from the integrators. That
is, the input to the ∆Σ converter is always a DC signal. Since
the output of the front end integrators are sampled, aliasing can
occur. Whenever the frequency of the input signal exceeds
one-half of the sampling rate, the signal will
fold back down to
lower frequencies.
Test Mode
When TEST is used, pins IN1 and IN2 are grounded and
packets of approximately 13pC charge are transferred to the

TABLE III. Timing for the DDC112 in the Test Mode.
integration capacitors of both Input 1 and Input 2. This fixed
charge can be transferred to the integration capacitors either
once during an integration cycle or multiple times. In the case
where multiple packets are transferred during one integration
period, the 13pC charge is additive. This mode can be used
in both the continuous and noncontinuous mode timing. The
timing diagrams for test mode are shown in Figure 8. The top
three lines in Figure 8 define the timing when one packet of
13pC is sent to the integration capacitors. The bottom three
lines define the timing when multiple packets are sent to the
integration capacitors.
