PRODUCTION DATA
The AMC131M01 uses a delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator to convert the analog input voltage to a one's density modulated digital bitstream. The ΔΣ modulator oversamples the input voltage at a frequency many times greater than the output data rate. The modulator frequency, fMOD, of the AMC131M01 is derived from the main clock frequency (provided at the CLKIN pin) with the user-programmable clock divider; see the Clocking and Power Modes section.
The output of the modulator is fed back to the modulator input through a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) as a means of error correction. This feedback mechanism shapes the modulator quantization noise in the frequency domain to make the noise more dense at higher frequencies and less dense in the band of interest. The digital decimation filter following the ΔΣ modulator significantly attenuates the out-of-band modulator quantization noise, allowing the device to provide excellent dynamic range.
