Signal Bandwidth, Transition Noise and Noise

Equivalent Input Bandwidth

bandwidth is 26.54Hz. The calculated LTC2453 input signal

attenuation vs frequency over a wide frequency range is

shown in Figure 12. The calculated LTC2453 input signal

attenuation vs frequency at low frequencies is shown in

and can be modeled by a white noise source connected

at the input of a noise-free converter.

On a related note, the LTC2453 uses two separate A/D

converters to digitize the positive and negative inputs.

noise. If one of the input voltages is within this small

transition noise band, then the output will fluctuate one

bit, regardless of the value of the other input voltage. If

both of the input voltages are within their transition noise

bands, the output can fluctuate 2 bits.
