LTC2323-16 (Performance not matched with Data sheet )

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LTC2323-16

I bought the demo board DC1996A-A (LTC2323-16) and the PScope board (DC890B) to evaluate the ADC part LTC2323-16.

 

According to the datasheet, I expect the following performance measurement from the ADC.

 

 

 

But I have seen different performances. See the following Pscope Pics.

 

 Picture One:

Input Signal

1-Input Signal= 0 to 4Volt Peak to Peak

2- Input Signal Frequency=1Mhz

 

Measurement

SNR=59.86 dB

SIND= 50.68 dB

THD=-51.24 dB

ENOB=8.13 bits

Flor= -102.74 dBFS

 

 

Picture Two:

Input Signal

1-Input Signal= 0 to 4Volt Peak to Peak

2- Input Signal Frequency=2Mhz

 

Measurement

SNR=59.78 dB

SIND= 48.29 dB

THD=--48.61 dB

ENOB=7.73 bits

Flor= -102.34 dBFS

 

 

Conclusion:

 

Comparing the datasheet performance graph to the Two PScope photo shows a discrepancy in the measurement, clearly showing worse results.

 

If compare two Pscope pics,  You will observe increasing the analog input frequency ( 1Mhz to 2Mhz), and measurement results are getting worse.

 

Please help me with how I can get the same performance mentioned in the datasheet and why the discrepancy in the measurement.
