Clock Feedthrough
Clock feedthrough is defined as the RMS value of the clock
frequency and its harmonics that are present at the filter’s
OUT pin (Pin 8). The clock feedthrough is measured with
IN ⁺ and IN ^– (Pins 1 and 2) grounded and depends on the
PC board layout and the power supply decoupling. Table␣ 4
shows the clock feedthrough (the RMS sum of the first 11
harmonics) when the LTC1569-7 is self-clocked with
R_EXT = 10k, DIV/CLK (Pin 5) open (divide-by-4 mode). The
clock feedthrough can be reduced with a simple RC post
filter.

DC Accuracy
DC accuracy is defined as the error in the output voltage
after DC offset and DC gain errors are removed. This is
similar to the definition of the integral nonlinearity in A/D
converters. For example, after measuring values of V_OUT(DC)
vs V_IN(DC) for a typical LTC1569-7, a linear regression
shows that V_OUT(DC) = V_IN(DC) • 0.99854 + 0.00134V is the
straight line that best fits the data. The DC accuracy
describes how much the actual data deviates from this
straight line (i.e., DCERROR = V_OUT(DC) – (V_IN(DC) • 0.99854
+ 0.00134V). In a 12-bit system with a full-scale value of
2V, the LSB is 488µV. Therefore, if the DCERROR of the
filter is less than 488µV over a 2V range, the filter has
12-bit DC accuracy. Figure 9 illustrates the typical DC
accuracy of the LTC1569-7 on a single 5V supply.

DC Offset
The output DC offset of the LTC1569-7 is trimmed to less
than ±5mV. The trimming is performed with V_S = 1.9V,
–1.1V with the filter cutoff frequency set to 8kHz (R_EXT =
10k, DIV/CLK shorted to V ⁺). To obtain optimum DC offset
performance, appropriate PC layout techniques should be
used. The filter IC should be soldered to the PC board. The
power supplies should be well decoupled including a 1µF
ceramic capacitor from V ⁺ (Pin 7) to V ^– (Pin 4). A ground
plane should be used. Noisy signals should be isolated
from the filter input pins.
When the power supply is 3V, the output DC offset
typically change less than ±2mV when the clock frequency
varies from 64kHz to 8192kHz. When the clock frequency
is fixed, the output DC offset will typically change by ±4mV
(±13mV) when the power supply varies from 3V to 5V
(±5V) in the divide-by-1 mode. In the divide-by-4 or
divide-by-16 modes, the output DC offset will typically
change – 9mV (– 27mV) when the power supply varies
from 3V to 5V (±5V). The offset is measured with respect
to GND (Pin 3).
Aliasing
Aliasing is an inherent phenomenon of sampled data
filters. In lowpass filters significant aliasing only occurs
when the frequency of the input signal approaches the
sampling frequency or multiples of the sampling fre-
quency. The LTC1569-7 samples the input signal twice
