C1174a–10–9/88
PRINTED IN U.S.A.
The input coupling capacitor, C
C
, in conjunction with the 8 kΩ
internal input scaling resistor, determine the –3 dB low fre-
quency rolloff. This frequency, F
L
, is equal to:
F
L
=
1
2π(8,000)(TheValue of C
C
in Farads)
Note that at F
L
, the amplitude error will be approximately
–30% (–3 dB) of reading. To reduce this error to 0.5% of read-
ing, choose a value of C
C
that sets F
L
at one tenth the lowest
frequency to be measured.
In addition, if the input voltage has more than 100 mV of dc
offset, than the ac coupling network shown in Figure 21 should
be used in addition to capacitor C
C
.
