8.4 Spectral Analysis Tool
The spectral analysis tool, shown in
, is intended to evaluate the dynamic performance (SNR, THD,
SFDR, SINAD, and ENOB) of the ADS1285 ADC through single-tone sinusoidal signal FFT analysis using the
7-term Blackman-Harris
window setting.
Figure 8-4. Spectral Analysis Tool
The FFT tool includes windowing options that are required to mitigate the effects of non-coherent sampling (this
discussion is beyond the scope of this document). The
7-Term Blackman-Harris
window is the default option
and has sufficient dynamic range to resolve the frequency components of up to a 24-bit ADC. The
None
option
corresponds to not using a window (or using a rectangular window) and is not recommended.
