Improved Supply Rejection in the LT1368/LT1369

The LT1368/LT1369 are variations of the LT1366/LT1367

offering greater supply rejection and lower high frequency

outputimpedance.TheLT1368/LT1369requirea0.1µFload

capacitance for compensation. The output capacitance

forms a filter, which reduces pickup from the supply and

lowers the output impedance. This additional filtering is

supply. The LT1368’s power supply rejection is about ten

times greater than that of the LT1366 at 50kHz. Note the

5-to-1 scale change in the output voltage traces.

The tolerance of the external compensation capacitor is

not critical. The plots of Overshoot vs Load Current in the

Typical Performance Characteristics section illustrate the

effect of a capacitive load.

Buffering A/D Converters

nel micropower A/D converter (ADC). The LTC1288 can

accommodate voltage references and input signals equal

to the supply rails. The sampling nature of this ADC

eliminates the need for an external sample-and-hold, but

may call for a drive amplifier because of the ADC’s 12µs

settling requirement. The LT1368’s rail-to-rail operation

and low input offset voltage make it well-suited for low

power, low frequency A/D applications. Either the LT1366

or LT1368 could be used for this application. However,

for low frequencies (f < 1kHz) the LT1368 provides better

supply rejection.
