The out-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency band between DC and half the sampling frequency. THD is The effective number of bits (ENOBs) is a measurement of expressed as: the resolution of an ADC and is directly related to the S/(N + D) by the equation: 2 2 2 2 ENOB V + V3 + V4 +…V S = [S/(N + D) – 1.76]/6.02 THD N = 20 2 log where S/(N + D) is expressed in dB. At the maximum V1 sampling rate of 2.5MHz the LTC1411 maintains good where V ENOBs up to the Nyquist input frequency of 1.25MHz. 1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental fre- quency and V Refer to Figure␣ 3. 2 through VN are the amplitudes of the second through Nth harmonics. THD vs input frequency is shown in Figure 4. The LTC1411 has good distortion Total Harmonic Distortion performance up to the Nyquist frequency and beyond. Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS sum of all harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental 1411f 9
