PRODUCTION DATA
Table 8-1 lists the effect of source resistance (RS) and device input current noise on dynamic range performance. Selected values of RS and input current noise, obtained from the input current noise distribution of Figure 8-2 (1.5 pA/√Hz and 3 pA/√Hz), are evaluated. Thermal noise voltage of the source resistance, input current noise × source resistance, and ADC input-referred noise voltage are summed as RMS values to derive the total noise. Dynamic range is calculated from the total noise result.

Data for the analysis is shown for low-power mode operation over a 206Hz noise bandwidth (fDATA = 500 SPS). For PGA gain = 1, 5000Ω source resistance has a minor effect on dynamic range performance. However, at PGA gain = 16, dynamic range performance can degrade from –5dB to –8dB depending on the level of device input current noise. 1000Ω source resistance has 1.6dB degradation at gain = 16 for input current noise density = 3pA/√Hz.
