LTC1040 UTYPICAL APPLICATIO SThe LTC1040 as a Linear Amplifier With a simple RC filter, the LTC1040 can be made to should be set to 0.5mV to 1mV for best results. Notice that function as a linear amplifier. By filtering the logic output the higher the sampling frequency, fS, the lower RC can be. and feeding it back to the negative input, the loop forces This is important because the RC filter also sets the loop the output duty cycle [tON/(tON + tOFF)] so that VOUT equals response. A convenient way to keep fS as high as possible VIN (Figure 10). under all conditions is to connect a 100k resistor to pin 16 (OSC) with no capacitance to ground. The RC time constant is set to keep the ripple on the output small. The maximum output ripple is: ∆V = V+/fSRC and V+ + – R V+ V V OUT IN +1/2 LTC1040 0V – C tOFF VOUT = V+ tON tON + tOFF tON LTC1040 • TA08 LTC1040 • TA07 Figure 10.
