PRODUCTION DATA
Two first-order antialias filters are implemented with the PGA855 circuit. Referring to Figure 9-4, the first filter is provided by CFB in parallel with the PGA 5kΩ feedback resistors. The PGA resistors are ±15% absolute tolerance, as such, consider the effect of the tolerance on the filter cutoff frequency. CFB = 47pF results in a filter cutoff frequency of 675kHz. On the high side of the resistor tolerance, the filter frequency changes to 574kHz. At this tolerance, the filter maintains –0.1dB flatness at the edge of the wideband filter signal band (77kHz).
The second antialias filter is at the ADS127L21B inputs. Filter values RFIL = 47.4Ω and CDIFF = 560pF yield a filter cutoff frequency of 2.8MHz. The ADC input precharge buffers significantly reduce the sample-phase input charge that raises the ADC input impedance to decrease gain error. Because of the buffers, RFIL and CDIFF are increased in the design to improve antialias rejection.
C0G dielectric capacitors are used throughout the signal path (CFB, CDIFF, and CCM) to provide low distortion performance.
