APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Figure 5 shows the IMD performance at a 100kHz input.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spectral
component excluding the input signal and DC. This value
is expressed in decibels relative to the RMS value of a
full-scale input signal.
Full Power and Full Linear Bandwidth
The full power bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced
by 3dB for a full-scale input signal.
The full linear bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the S/(N + D) has dropped to 68dB (11 effective bits). The
LTC1400 has been designed to optimize input bandwidth,
allowing the ADC to undersample input signals with fre-
quencies above the converter’s Nyquist Frequency. The
noise floor stays very low at high frequencies; S/(N +
D) becomes dominated by distortion at frequencies far
beyond Nyquist.
Driving the Analog Input
The analog input of the LTC1400 is easy to drive. It draws
only one small current spike while charging the sample-
and-hold capacitor at the end of a conversion. During
conversion, the analog input draws only a small leakage
current. The only requirement is that the amplifier driv-
ing the analog input must settle after the small current
spike before the next conversion starts. Any op amp that

settles in 200ns to small load current transient will allow
maximum speed operation. If a slower op amp is used,
more settling time can be provided by increasing the time
between conversions. Suitable devices capable of driving
the ADC’s A
op amps.
LTC1400 comes with a built-in unipolar/bipolar detection
circuit. If V
circuitry will automatically switch to bipolar mode.

suitable for driving the LTC1400, more detailed informa-
tion is available in the Linear Technology databooks or the
