LTC1069-7

Temperature Behavior

The power supply current of the LTC1069-7 has a positive

temperature coefficient. The GBW product of its internal

op amps is nearly constant and the speed of the device

does not degrade at high temperatures.

Clock Feedthrough

The clock feedthrough is defined as the RMS value of the

clock frequency and its harmonics that are present at the

filter’s output (Pin 8). The clock feedthrough is tested with

the input (Pin 4) shorted to the AGND pin and depends on

PC board layout and on the value of the power supplies.

With proper layout techniques the values of the clock

feedthrough are shown on Table 2.

Any parasitic switching transients during the rising and

falling edges of the incoming clock are not part of the clock

feedthrough specifications. Switching transients have fre-

quency contents much higher than the applied clock; their

amplitude strongly depends on scope probing techniques

as well as grounding and power supply bypassing. The

clock feedthrough can be reduced by adding a single RC

lowpass filter at the output (Pin 8) of the LTC1069-7.

Wideband Noise

The wideband noise of the filter is the total RMS value of

the device’s noise spectral density and determines the

operating signal-to-noise ratio. Most of the wideband

noise frequency contents lie within the filter passband.

The wideband noise cannot be reduced by adding post

filtering. The total wideband noise is nearly independent of

supply voltage (see Table 3). The clock feedthrough speci-

fications are not part of the wideband noise.

Aliasing

Aliasing is an inherent phenomenon of sampled data

systems and it occurs for input frequencies approaching

the sampling frequency. The internal sampling frequency

Speed Limitations

To avoid op amp slew rate limiting, the signal amplitude

should be kept below a specified level as shown in Table 5.
