A typical offset voltage of 1mV and gain error of 0.002% allow this sample and hold amplifier to be used in 12-bit systems. Dynamic performance can be optimized by proper selection of the external hold capacitor. Acqui- sition times can be as low as 4ys for small capacitors while hold step and droop errors can be held below 0.1mV and 30yV/sec respectively when using larger capacitors. The LF198 is fixed at unity gain with 10'Q input im- pedance independent of sample / hold mode. The logic in- puts are high impedance differential to allow easy inter- facing to any logic family without ground loop problems. A separate offset adjust pin can be used to zero the offset voltage in either the sample or hold mode. Additionally, the hold capacitor can be driven with an external signal to provide precision level shifting or differencing opera- tion. The device will operate over a wide supply voltage range from + 5V to + 18V with very little change in per- formance, and key parameters are specified over this full supply range. The LF198A version offers tightened electrical specifica- tions for key parameters.

This leads to a sag effect in the hold capacitor after a sudden change in voltage followed by rapid switch to the hold mode. The capacitor remembers its previous state via the charge on the internal parasitic capacitance and sags 9-102 LI neLFIYSA/LFSYSA LF198/LF398 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION back slightly toward the previous voltage. The magnitude of the sag depends on the voltage change and the time spent sampling the new voltage. Several time constants are typically evident in the sag, although some capacitors tend to exhibit a single time constant, while others show a sag that indicates a blending of many time constants. The curves labeled CAPACITOR DIELECTRIC ABSORPTION show the amount of sag found after a 10V step with sam- ple time at the new voltage and hold time at the new voltage as variables. It is obvious that sag problems are minimized by long sample times and short hold times. This is often in conflict with basic sampling requirements, but one point should be made: if at all possible, keep the sample and hold amplifier in the tracking, or sam- pling, mode as much as possible to maximize the time the hold capacitor spends near the voltage at which it will eventually hold. The best capacitor for sample and hold applications is Teflon. It is clearly superior with regard to dielectric ab- sorption and operates over the full 55C to 125C temperature range. If size or price becomes a problem, the second choice for full temperature range operation is NPO, or COG ceramic units. Some care must be used herenot all NPO capacitors use the low dielectric constant ceramic necessary for low dielectric absorption. For lower temperatures (< 70C), Polystyrene has tradi- tionally been the best hold capacitor. The best units are cylindrical and fairly largethere seems to be a strong correlation between small size and poorer dielectric per- formance. Polypropylene has nearly the same absorption properties as polystyrene and offers 85C operation. It also tends to be smaller. Again, stay with cylindrically wrapped units. Other standard dielectrics such as mica, glass, mylar, and ordinary ceramic are much worse with regard to dielectric absorption. Mylar is sometimes used for large values when the ratio of sample to hold time is large and extremely low droop is required. Dynamic Sampling Error A significant sampling error can occur in any sample and hold if the input is moving when the unit is put into the hold mode. The two major causes for this error are digital delay in switch opening and analog delay across the hold capacitor. The switch opening delay is obvious and leads to a held output error of (dv/dt) x (Tg), where dv/dt is the slew rate of the input signal and Tg is switch delay. In the case of the LF198, Tg is approximately 150ns, giving a 4.5mV error when sampling the zero crossing of a 5V (peak) sine wave at 1kHz (dv/dt =A*2af =527r*10%). The analog delay is the difference between input signal and capacitor voltage. It is determined by the RC product of the hold capacitor and the effective series resistance, which in the case of the | LF198 is about 1500. This analog delay with a 0.01 pF hold /capacitor is ReC = 150 x 10-8 = 1 .5ys, or about ten times the delay of the switch. The sign of the analog delay is negativethe held output is related in time to the input voltage before the hold command was given. The overall dynamic sampling error is the sum of the digital and analog errors. The curve labeled Dynamic Sampling Error will be helpful in estimating these errors as a function of input slew rate and hold capacitor size. , Dynamic sampling error can be reduced by a factor of ten or more by inserting a delay in the logic input so that the hold command is delayed by an amount equal to the RC time constant of the LF198 and external hold capaci- tor. For a0.01F hold capacitor and the 1500 resistor in- ternal to the LF198, this is 1.5us. A simple RC network can be used in front of the logic input for delays up to == 1S. Longer delays require the addition of a logic gate to speed up the rise time of the delayed signal. See LOGIC RISE TIME in this section for further details. Hold Step Hold step is the small voltage step (after settling) seen at the output of a sample and hold amplifier when it is switched from the sample mode to the hold mode with a steady DC input. Hold step is typically the result of, or can be modeled as, a fixed quantity of charge transferred to the hold capacitor as a result of the internal switching that . occurs during the hold command. In the case of the LF198, that charge is about 5 picocoulombs, giving a hold step of 0.5mV for a 0.014F hold capacitor and 5mV for a 1000pF hold capacitor. (V=Q/C.) Hold step is reasonably independent of logic amplitude if care is taken to minimize the stray capacitance between the logic input Neen errr eee ere errr eee LY Wear 9-103LFI98A/LF398A LF198/LF398 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION and the hold capacitor. With thoughtful layout, including the guarding technique shown below, stray capacitance should be under 0.3pF, limiting charge variations to less than 0.3 picocoulombs per volt. Guarding Technique OFFSET AOJUST LOGIC REFERENCE GUARD TOP AND BOTTOM OF BOARD HOLD o~\ OUTPUT CAPACITOR tou BOTTOM VIEW Use 10-pin layout. Guard around C, is tied to output. Hold step varies slightly with analog input voltage (see curves). A typical unit will change at 0.4 picocoulombs per voit. This manifests itself as a gain error when the amplifier is switched to the hold mode. With a 0.01,F capacitor, the resulting gain error will be (0.4 PC/V)/0.01p4F =0.004%. This gain error is in the opposite direction of DC (sample mode) gain error. At high values of hold capacitor, DC gain error will dominate and gain will be slightly below unity (0.002%). For low value capacitors (<0.01,F), hold step induced gain error will dominate and hold mode gain will be slightly above unity. Zeroing out hold step does not change the variation of hold step with regard to input voltage. 9-104 Offset Zeroing A sample and hold amplifier has two distinct offset volt- ages. The first is just the DC offset of the amplifier while in the sample or tracking mode. It is identical to the input offset of any operational amplifier. The second offset voltage is the sum of the DC offset plus a dynamic term called hold step. Hold step is a change in output voltage when the amplifier is switched from sample mode to hold mode, with the input held steady. This second offset is often called hold mode offset. It can be less than or much greater than the DC offset, depending on the magnitude and sign of hold step. A fairly accurate model for hold step is a fixed charge injected into the hold capacitor by the switch turn-off cir- cuitry. The magnitude of the charge is reasonably inde- pendent of logic input amplitude. The resulting change in hold capacitor voltage is Q/ Ch. The charge, Q, is typically 5 picocoulombs, giving a 0.5mV hold step with a 0.01 pF hold capacitor. Since most sample and hold amplifiers are used, i.e., have their outputs read by an A to D con- verter, etc., during the hold mode, hold mode offset is arguably much more important than sample mode DC offset. DC offset adjustment is accomplished with a 1k low TC cermet potentiometer tied to V+ with 0.6mA flowing through it and the wiper tied to pin 2. This allows pin 2 to be moved +300mV around its nominal voltage (0.3V below V+). Offset adjustment range is + 9mvV, and the adjustment procedure nominally improves offset drift when the DC offset is reduced to zero. This offset method can be used to zero out hold mode offset, but at the expense of some induced offset drift. Each millivolt of hold step offset that is corrected by this method intro- duces 3.3uV/C drift. For 0.002pF or larger hold capacitors where hold step is a few millivolts or less, this is a practical solution to hold mode offset. In precision wide temperature range applications, or where Cy is less than 0.002yF, a separate hold mode zeroing method should be used. The circuit shown in the application sec- tion using a logic inverter and a 5pF capacitor is recom- mended (DC AND AC ZEROING). LI WeeLFI98A/LF398A LF198/LF398 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Logic Fall Time Hold step is independent of logic input fall time only for fall times faster than 10V/,s. For instance, as logic fall time changes from 10V/ps to 1V/ps, hold step with a 0.01 ,F hold capacitor will typically increase from 0.25mV to 1.0mV. See the curve labeled HOLD STEP vs LOGIC SLEW RATE for further data points. If logic slew rate is not constant, use the value at the threshold point (1.5V with respect to logic reference). An RC network will have a discharge slew rate of V_/RC, where V, is the logic threshold of the LF198. The delay generated by the net- work will be RC*in(V*+/V_), where V* is logic ampli- tude. For a 1s delay, with 5V logic, an RC time constant of 0.8us is needed. This has a slew rate of 2V/ys at threshold, which will slightly degrade hold step. It is ob- vious that an RC delay network significantly longer then 1S will have a large effect on hold step. If longer delays are required, they should be followed by several inverter stages or a Schmitt trigger to increase slew rate.

C3 1S NON POLARIZED DEFINITION OF TERMS Hold Step: The voltage step at the output of the amplifier when switching from sample mode to hold mode with a constant analog input voltage and a logic swing of 5V. Acquisition Time: The time required to acquire, within a defined error, a new analog input voltage with an output change of 10V. Acquisition time includes output settling time and includes the time required for all internal nodes to settle so that the output is at the proper value when switched to the hold mode. Gain Error: The ratio of output voltage swing to input voltage swing in the sample mode expressed as a percent difference. tD1 IS USED FOR START-UP. IT LIMITS DUTY CYCLE TO ~75% @ MOTOR + Hold Settling Time: The time required for the output to settle within imV of final value after a hold command is initiated. Dynamic Sampling Error: The error introduced into the held output voltage due to a changing analog input at the time the hold command is given. Error is expressed in mV with a given hold capacitor value and input slew rate. Note that this error term occurs even for long sample times. Aperture Time: The delay required between Hold command and an input analog transition, so that the tran- sition does not affect the held output. 9-110 Lo wnereLFI98A/LF398A LF198/LF398 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM =: Els Ci: , z ane w 8 & [3 T_ g oF Et fF oS ee g "i oa }__7. ne Gee Te 4,4 5 oss 1 10k 10k Z 6 AN VA Q! 33k 3k 159 CAP [s] LOGIC 2 10k > Q27 I gh 2 < 2 100k 21.1k 3620 q , tk Pa 2 22k zk i 039 Q36 025 y a24 > > arg a 1 mee) Bk [ C 200k - yr | 020 16k 023 } 550 3 = & & = n Nid / | ed > 2 & 3 8 \ 3S Ps 1 & = 5 S ia ~L LI Wee 9-111 > :LFI98A/LF398A LF198/LF398 errr PACKAGE DESCRIPTION Dimensions in inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted.
