LTC1743
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Any noise present on the encode signal will result in
additional aperture jitter that will be RMS summed with the
inherent ADC aperture jitter.
In applications where jitter is critical (high input frequen-
cies) take the following into consideration:
1. Differential drive should be used.
2. Use as large an amplitude as possible; if transformer
coupled use a higher turns ratio to increase the
amplitude.
3. If the ADC is clocked with a sinusoidal signal, filter the
encode signal to reduce wideband noise.
4. Balance the capacitance and series resistance at both
encode inputs so that any coupled noise will appear at
both inputs as common mode noise.
The encode inputs have a common mode range of 1.8V to
VDD. Each input may be driven from ground to VDD for
single-ended drive.
