noise to 15dB (see Figure 22), 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 23, 24,
and 25. 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 LTC2498 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 mi-
crovolt level signals superimposed over unwanted volt
level error sources with several volts of peak-to-peak
