The magnitude of the DC current is then approximately I

V
a fi lter with a small resistor and large capacitor should be
chosen. When running at the maximum throughput rate
of 14ksps, the input current equals 1.5μA at V
which amounts to a full-scale error of 0.5LSBs when using
a fi lter resistor (R
lower sample rates can tolerate a larger fi lter resistor for
the same amount of full-scale error.
Figures 3a and 3b show respective examples of input
fi ltering for single-ended and differential inputs. For the
single-ended case in Figure 4a, a 50Ω source resistor
and a 2000pF capacitor to ground on the input will limit
the input bandwidth to 1.6MHz. High quality capacitors
and resistors should be used in the RC fi lter since these
components can add distortion. NPO and silver mica type
dielectric capacitors have excellent linearity. Carbon surface
mount resistors can generate distortion from self heating

and from damage that may occur during soldering. Metal
fi lm surface mount resistors are much less susceptible
to both problems.
Dynamic Performance
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) test techniques are used to
test the ADC’s frequency response, distortion and noise
at the rated throughput. By applying a low distortion
sine wave and analyzing the digital output using an FFT
algorithm, the ADC’s spectral content can be examined
for frequencies outside the fundamental.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
The signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency to the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the A/D output. The output is band-limited
to frequencies from above DC and below half the sampling
