LTC6943
Micropower, Dual Precision
Instrumentation Switched
Capacitor Building Block
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
6943 is a monolithic, charge-balanced, dual
switched capacitor instrumentation building block. A pair
of switches alternately connects an external capacitor to
an input voltage and then connects the charged capacitor
across an output port. The internal switches have a
break-before-make action. An internal clock is provided
and its frequency can be adjusted with an external
capacitor. The LTC6943 can also be driven with an external
CMOS clock.
The LTC6943, when used with low clock frequencies,
provides ultra precision DC functions without requiring
precise external components. Such functions are
differential voltage to single-ended conversion, voltage
inversion, voltage multiplication and division by 2, 3, 4, 5,
etc.
The LTC6943 is manufactured using Linear Technology’s
enhanced LTCMOS
TM
silicon gate process, and it is func-
tionally compatible with the LTC1043.

Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
The LTC6943, when used as a differential to single-ended
converter rejects common mode signals and preserves
differential voltages (Figure 1). Unlike other techniques,
the LTC6943’s CMRR does not degrade with increasing
common mode voltage frequency. During the sampling
mode, the impedance of Pins 1, 2 (and 9, 10) should be
balanced, otherwise, common mode signals will appear
differentially. The value of the CMRR depends on the value
of the sampling and holding capacitors (C
S
, C
H
) and on the
sampling frequency. Since the common mode voltages
are not sampled, the common mode signal frequency can
well exceed the sampling frequency without experiencing
aliasing phenomena. The CMRR of Figure 1 is measured
by shorting Pins 6 and 11 and by observing, with a
