APPLICATION INFORMATION
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of all harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental
itself. The out-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency
band between DC and half of the sampling frequency. THD
is defined as:
where V
quency and V
second through the N
fication in the Dynamic Accuracy table includes the 2nd
through 5th harmonics. With a 7kHz input signal, the
LTC1286/LTC1298 have typical THD of 80dB with V
Intermodulation Distortion
If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral
component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can
produce intermodulation distortion (IMD) in addition
to THD. IMD is the change in one sinusoidal input
caused by the presence of another sinusoidal input at a
different frequency.

If two pure sine waves of frequencies f

waves are equal in magnitudes, the value (in dB) of the 2nd
order IMD products can be expressed by the following
formula:
For input frequencies of 5kHz and 6kHz, the IMD of the
LTC1286/LTC1298 is 73dB with a 5V supply.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spec-
tral component excluding the input signal and DC. This
value is expressed in dBs relative to the RMS value of a full-
scale input signal.
Full-Power and Full-Linear Bandwidth
The full-power bandwidth is that input frequency at which
the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is re-
duced by 3dB for a full-scale input.
The full-linear bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the effective bits rating of the ADC falls to 11 bits. Beyond
this frequency, distortion of the sampled input signal
increases. The LTC1286/LTC1298 have been designed to
optimize input bandwidth, allowing the ADCs to
undersample input signals with frequencies above the
converters’ Nyquist Frequency.
