Insight into digiPOT Specifications and Architecture Enhances AC Performance
When handling an ac signal, digiPOT performance is limited by bandwidth and distortion. Bandwidth is the maximum frequency that can pass through the digiPOT with less than 3-dB attenuation due to parasitic components. Total harmonic distortion (THD)—here defined as the ratio of the rms sum of the next four harmonics to the fundamental value of the output—is a measure of signal degradation as it passes through the device. The performance limits implied by these specifications are caused by the internal digiPOT architecture. This article provides an analysis of the architecture to enable an understanding of these specifications and how to reduce their negative effects.
