Micronetics’ dithering module is designed as an easy way to eliminate spurs
caused by quantization errors in high speed A/D converters. This module
feature a patent pending technology to efficiently combine low pass filtered
noise with the analog signal, resulting in low signal insertion loss and low
power consumption. The module is designed for 70 MHz analog signals
(other frequencies upon request) and eliminates the need to design special
circuitry for the noise biasing, amplification and filtering as well as combin-
ing the signal to the out of band noise.

DESCRIPTION
0 - 0.75 V
The dithering module is a two port device with an analog signal input and a
signal + noise output. The complete noise generating circuitry is contained
within this module. The dithering module is specified by two paths, one
being the analog signal path and the other being the noise output of the
combined signal + noise path. The module also features built in LO rejec-
tion filtering.

COMMON NOISE CONVERSIONS
• N = N + 10*LOG (BW)
o
• N = 20*LOG (µVRMS /Hz)
o
• N = 20*LOG (VRMS) - 10*LOG (R) + 30 dB
where:
BW = bandwidth in hertz
R = impedance in ohms
N = power in dBm
N = power spectral density in dBm/Hz
