Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PGA280
Hello,
I am designing a system which is to use PGA281 chopper stabilized instrumentation amplifiers as front ends to condition off-board signals to be digitized by SAR ADCs. The signals can in some cases be rectangular waveforms, and with these, I am seeing ~ 4-5% overshoot throughout a range of gains from x0.344 - x128.
The input has the 5 component filter shown on the EVM schematic with the C4 / C8 CM caps populated as 47 pF and the C6 DM cap populated with a 470 pF cap. R11 / R15 input resistors are 1.5K. Also included are 1M resistors to GND at the TP1 / TP4 locations.
The output filter is comprised of 120 ohm R12/R16 resistors and .01 uF C5/C9 caps with nothing installed for C7.
Changing the input resistors from 1.5K to 16.9K reduces BW significantly, but doesn't reduce overshoot appreciably. Increasing the output resistors to 420 ohm and adding a 0.015 uF C6 cap lowers overshoot only a small amount, while reducing bandwidth down below 9 KHz which is too low.
My goal would be to reduce overshoot, reduce pk-pk noise observed over a 5 second period with shorted inputs, and reduce bandwidth to roughly 12 - 15 KHz.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
-Chris
