Whenusingtheinternaloscillator,theLTC2495isdesigned
to reject line frequencies. As shown in Figure 20, rejec-
tion nulls occur at multiples of frequency fN, where fN is
determined by the input control bits FA and FB (fN = 50Hz
or 60Hz or 55Hz for simultaneous rejection). Multiples of
themodulatorsamplingrate(fS=fN256)onlyrejectnoise
to 15dB (see Figure 21); if noise sources are present at
these frequencies anti-aliasing will reduce their effects.
The user can expect to achieve this level of performance
using the internal oscillator, as shown in Figures 22, 23,
and 24. Measured values of normal mode rejection are
shown superimposed over the theoretical values in all
three rejection modes.
Traditional high order delta-sigma modulators suffer from
potential instabilities at large input signal levels. The
proprietary architecture used for the LTC2495 third-order
modulator resolves this problem and guarantees stability
with input signals 150% of full scale. In many industrial
applications, it is not uncommon to have microvolt level
signals superimposed over unwanted error sources with
severalvoltsifpeak-to-peaknoise.Figures25and26show
measurement results for the rejection of a 7.5V peak-
to-peak noise source (150% of full scale) applied to the
LTC2495.Thesecurvesshowthattherejectionperformance
is maintained even in extremely noisy environments.
