For a simple system noise analysis, the input drive cir-
cuit can be modeled as a single-pole equivalent circuit
characterized by a pole location, fi, and a noise spectral
density, ni. If the converter has an unlimited bandwidth,
or at least a bandwidth substantially larger than fi, then
the total noise contribution of the external drive circuit
would be:
Vn = ni p / 2 fi
The total system noise level can then be estimated as
the square root of the sum of (Vn2) and the square of the
LTC2451 noise floor (~2V2).
