MAXIM MAX1139EEE+

19-2334; Rev 5; 5/09
2.7V to 3.6V and 4.5V to 5.5V, Low-Power,
4-/12-Channel, 2-Wire Serial 10-Bit ADCs
The MAX1136–MAX1139 low-power, 10-bit, multichannel
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) feature internal
track/hold (T/H), voltage reference, clock, and an
I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface. These devices
operate from a single supply of 2.7V to 3.6V (MAX1137/
MAX1139) or 4.5V to 5.5V (MAX1136/MAX1138) and
require only 670µA at the maximum sampling rate of
94.4ksps. Supply current falls below 230µA for sampling
rates under 46ksps. AutoShutdown™ powers down the
devices between conversions, reducing supply current to
less than 1µA at low throughput rates. The
MAX1136/MAX1137 have four analog input channels
each, while the MAX1138/MAX1139 have 12 analog input
channels each. The fully differential analog inputs are
software configurable for unipolar or bipolar, and single
ended or differential operation.
The full-scale analog input range is determined by the
internal reference or by an externally applied reference
voltage ranging from 1V to V DD . The MAX1137/
MAX1139 feature a 2.048V internal reference and the
MAX1136/MAX1138 feature a 4.096V internal reference.
The MAX1136/MAX1137 are available in an 8-pin µMAX®
package. The MAX1138/MAX1139 are available in a
16-pin QSOP package. The MAX1136–MAX1139 are
guaranteed over the extended temperature range
(-40°C to +85°C). For pin-compatible 12-bit parts, refer to
the MAX1236–MAX1239 data sheet. For pin-compatible
8-bit parts, refer to the MAX1036–MAX1039 data sheet.

Note 1: For DC accuracy, the MAX1136/MAX1138 are tested at VDD = 5V and the MAX1137/MAX1139 are tested at VDD = 3V. All
devices are configured for unipolar, single-ended inputs.
Note 2: Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the full-scale range and
offsets have been calibrated.
Note 3: Offset nulled.
Note 4: Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles needed for conversion multiplied by the clock period. Conversion
time does not include acquisition time. SCL is the conversion clock in the external clock mode.
Note 5: A filter on the SDA and SCL inputs suppresses noise spikes and delays the sampling instant.
Note 6: The absolute input-voltage range for the analog inputs (AIN0–AIN11) is from GND to VDD.
Note 7: When the internal reference is configured to be available at AIN_/REF (SEL[2:1] = 11) decouple AIN_/REF to GND with a
0.1µF capacitor and a 2kΩ series resistor (see the Typical Operating Circuit).
Note 8: ADC performance is limited by the converter’s noise floor, typically 300µVP-P.

Note 10: A master device must provide a data hold time for SDA (referred to VIL of SCL) in order to bridge the undefined region of
SCL’s falling edge (see Figure 1).
Note 11: The minimum value is specified at +25°C.
Note 12: CB = total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
Note 13: fSCL must meet the minimum clock low time plus the rise/fall times.

Detailed Description
The MAX1136–MAX1139 analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs) use successive-approximation conversion techniques and fully differential input track/hold (T/H) circuitry to capture and convert an analog signal to a
serial 12-bit digital output. The MAX1136/MAX1137 are
4-channel ADCs, and the MAX1138/MAX1139 are
12-channel ADCs. These devices feature a high-speed
2-wire serial interface supporting data rates up to
The MAX1136–MAX1139 operates from a single supply
and consumes 670µA (typ) at sampling rates up to
94.4ksps. The MAX1137/MAX1139 feature a 2.048V
internal reference and the MAX1136/MAX1138 feature
a 4.096V internal reference. All devices can be configured for use with an external reference from 1V to VDD.
Analog Input and Track/Hold
The MAX1136–MAX1139 analog-input architecture contains an analog-input multiplexer (mux), a fully differential track-and-hold (T/H) capacitor, T/H switches, a
comparator, and a fully differential switched capacitive
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) (Figure 4).
In single-ended mode the analog-input multiplexer connects C T/H between the analog input selected by
CS[3:0] (see the Configuration Setup Bytes section)
and GND (Table 3). In differential mode, the analoginput multiplexer connects CT/H to the “+” and “-” analog inputs selected by CS[3:0] (Table 4).
During the acquisition interval the T/H switches are in
the track position and CT/H charges to the analog input
_______________________________________________________________________________________

signal. At the end of the acquisition interval, the T/H
switches move to the hold position retaining the charge
on CT/H as a stable sample of the input signal.
During the conversion interval, the switched capacitive
DAC adjusts to restore the comparator input voltage to
0V within the limits of 10-bit resolution. This action
requires 10 conversion clock cycles and is equivalent
to transferring a charge of 11pF (VIN+ - VIN-) from
CT/H to the binary weighted capacitive DAC, forming a
digital representation of the analog input signal.
clock pulse during the shifting out of the first byte of the
result. The conversion is performed during the next 10
clock cycles.
The time required for the T/H circuitry to acquire an
input signal is a function of the input sample capacitance. If the analog-input source impedance is high,
the acquisition time constant lengthens and more time
must be allowed between conversions. The acquisition
time (tACQ) is the minimum time needed for the signal
to be acquired. It is calculated by:
Sufficiently low source impedance is required to ensure
an accurate sample. A source impedance of up to 1.5kΩ
does not significantly degrade sampling accuracy. To
minimize sampling errors with higher source impedances,
connect a 100pF capacitor from the analog input to GND.
This input capacitor forms an RC filter with the source
impedance limiting the analog-input bandwidth. For larger source impedances, use a buffer amplifier to maintain
analog-input signal integrity and bandwidth.
When operating in internal clock mode, the T/H circuitry
enters its tracking mode on the eighth rising clock edge
of the address byte (see the Slave Address section). The
T/H circuitry enters hold mode on the falling clock edge of
the acknowledge bit of the address byte (the ninth clock
pulse). A conversion, or series of conversions, are then
internally clocked and the MAX1136–MAX1139 holds
SCL low. With external clock mode, the T/H circuitry
enters track mode after a valid address on the rising
edge of the clock during the read (R/W = 1) bit. Hold
mode is then entered on the rising edge of the second
tACQ ≥ 9 (RSOURCE + RIN) CIN
where RSOURCE is the analog-input source impedance,
RIN = 2.5kΩ, and CIN = 22pF. tACQ is 1.5/fSCL for internal
clock mode and tACQ = 2/fSCL for external clock mode.
Analog Input Bandwidth
The MAX1136–MAX1139 feature input-tracking circuitry
with a 5MHz small-signal bandwidth. The 5MHz input
bandwidth makes it possible to digitize high-speed
transient events and measure periodic signals with
bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by
using under sampling techniques. To avoid high-frequency signals being aliased into the frequency band
of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.
Analog Input Range and Protection
Internal protection diodes clamp the analog input to
VDD and GND. These diodes allow the analog inputs to

Single-Ended/Differential Input
The SGL/DIF of the configuration byte configures the
MAX1136–MAX1139 analog-input circuitry for singleended or differential inputs (Table 2). In single-ended
mode (SGL/DIF = 1), the digital conversion results are the
difference between the analog input selected by CS[3:0]
and GND (Table 3). In differential mode (SGL/ DIF = 0) the
digital conversion results are the difference between the
“+” and the “-” analog inputs selected by CS[3:0] (Table 4).
Unipolar/Bipolar
When operating in differential mode, the BIP/UNI bit of
the setup byte (Table 1) selects unipolar or bipolar
operation. Unipolar mode sets the differential input
range from 0 to VREF. A negative differential analog
input in unipolar mode will cause the digital output
code to be zero. Selecting bipolar mode sets the differential input range to ±VREF/2. The digital output code is
binary in unipolar mode and two’s complement in bipolar mode, see the Transfer Functions section.
In single-ended mode the MAX1136–MAX1139 will
always operate in unipolar mode irrespective of
BIP/UNI. The analog inputs are internally referenced to
GND with a full-scale input range from 0 to VREF.
2-Wire Digital Interface
The MAX1136–MAX1139 feature a 2-wire interface consisting of a serial data line (SDA) and serial clock line
(SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate bidirectional communication between the MAX1136–MAX1139 and the master at
rates up to 1.7MHz. The MAX1136–MAX1139 are slaves
that transfer and receive data. The master (typically a
microcontroller) initiates data transfer on the bus and
generates the SCL signal to permit that transfer.
SDA and SCL must be pulled high. This is typically done
with pullup resistors (750Ω or greater) (see the Typical
Operating Circuit). Series resistors (RS) are optional.
They protect the input architecture of the MAX1136–
MAX1139 from high voltage spikes on the bus lines, minimize crosstalk, and undershoot of the bus signals.
Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock
cycle. A minimum of eighteen clock cycles are required
to transfer the data in or out of the MAX1136–MAX1139.
The data on SDA must remain stable during the high
period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA while
SCL is stable are considered control signals (see the
START and STOP Conditions section). Both SDA and
SCL remain high when the bus is not busy.
START and STOP Conditions
The master initiates a transmission with a START condition (S), a high-to-low transition on SDA while SCL is high.
The master terminates a transmission with a STOP condition (P), a low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL is high
(Figure 5). A repeated START condition (Sr) can be used
in place of a STOP condition to leave the bus active and
the mode unchanged (see HS-mode).

S
P

SCL
Figure 5. START and STOP Conditions
Acknowledge Bits
Data transfers are acknowledged with an acknowledge
bit (A) or a not-acknowledge bit (A). Both the master
and the MAX1136–MAX1139 (slave) generate acknowledge bits. To generate an acknowledge, the receiving
device must pull SDA low before the rising edge of the
acknowledge-related clock pulse (ninth pulse) and
keep it low during the high period of the clock pulse
(Figure 6). To generate a not-acknowledge, the receiver allows SDA to be pulled high before the rising edge
of the acknowledge-related clock pulse and leaves
SDA high during the high period of the clock pulse.
Monitoring the acknowledge bits allows for detection of
unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data
transfer happens if a receiving device is busy or if a
system fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer the bus master should reattempt
communication at a later time.

Figure 7. MAX1136/MAX1137 Slave Address Byte
Slave Address
A bus master initiates communication with a slave device
by issuing a START condition followed by a slave
address. When idle, the MAX1136–MAX1139 continuously wait for a START condition followed by their slave
address. When the MAX1136–MAX1139 recognize their
slave address, they are ready to accept or send data.
The slave address has been factory programmed and is
always 0110100 for the MAX1136/MAX1137, and
0110101 for MAX1138/MAX1139 (Figure 7). The least significant bit (LSB) of the address byte (R/W) determines
whether the master is writing to or reading from the
MAX1136–MAX1139 (R/W = 0 selects a write condition,
R/W = 1 selects a read condition). After receiving the
address, the MAX1136–MAX1139 (slave) issues an
acknowledge by pulling SDA low for one clock cycle.
up to 22.2ksps. The MAX1136–MAX1139 must operate
in high-speed mode (HS-mode) to achieve conversion
rates up to 94.4ksps. Figure 1 shows the bus timing for
the MAX1136–MAX1139’s 2-wire interface.
HS-Mode
At power-up, the MAX1136–MAX1139 bus timing is set
for F/S-mode. The bus master selects HS-mode by
addressing all devices on the bus with the HS-mode
master code 0000 1XXX (X = don’t care). After successfully receiving the HS-mode master code, the
MAX1136–MAX1139 issue a not-acknowledge allowing
SDA to be pulled high for one clock cycle (Figure 8).
After the not-acknowledge, the MAX1136–MAX1139 are
in HS-mode. The bus master must then send a repeated
START followed by a slave address to initiate HS-mode
communication. If the master generates a STOP condition the MAX1136–MAX1139 returns to F/S-mode.
Bus Timing
At power-up, the MAX1136–MAX1139 bus timing is set
for fast mode (F/S-mode) which allows conversion rates

one or two bytes to the slave in any order (setup byte
then configuration byte; configuration byte then setup
byte; setup byte or configuration byte only; Figure 9). If
the slave receives a byte successfully, it issues an
acknowledge. The master ends the write cycle by issuing a STOP condition or a repeated START condition.
When operating in HS-mode, a STOP condition returns
the bus into F/S-mode (see the HS-Mode section).

2. When SEL1 = 1, a differential read between AIN2 and AIN3/REF (MAX1136/MAX1137) or AIN10 and AIN11/REF
(MAX1138/MAX1139) will return the difference between GND and AIN2 or AIN10, respectively. For example, a differential read of
1011 will return the negative difference between AIN10 and GND. In differential scanning, the address increments by 2 until limit set
by CS3:CS1 has been reached.
Data Byte (Read Cycle)
A read cycle must be initiated to obtain conversion
results. Read cycles begin with the bus master issuing
a START condition followed by seven address bits and
a read bit (R/W = 1). If the address byte is successfully
received, the MAX1136–MAX1139 (slave) issues an
acknowledge. The master then reads from the slave.
The result is transmitted in two bytes; first six bits of the
first byte are high, then MSB through LSB are consecutively clocked out. After the master has received the
byte(s) it can issue an acknowledge if it wants to continue reading or a not-acknowledge if it no longer wishes to read. If the MAX1136–MAX1139 receive a notacknowledge, they release SDA allowing the master to
generate a STOP or a repeated START condition. See
the Clock Mode and Scan Mode sections for detailed
information on how data is obtained and converted.
Clock Modes
The clock mode determines the conversion clock and
the data acquisition and conversion time. The clock
mode also affects the scan mode. The state of the setup byte’s CLK bit determines the clock mode (Table 1).
At power-up the MAX1136–MAX1139 are defaulted to
internal clock mode (CLK = 0).
Internal Clock
When configured for internal clock mode (CLK = 0), the
MAX1136–MAX1139 use their internal oscillator as the conversion clock. In internal clock mode, the MAX1136–
MAX1139 begin tracking the analog input after a valid
address on the eighth rising edge of the clock. On the
falling edge of the ninth clock the analog signal is acquired
and the conversion begins. While converting the analog
input signal, the MAX1136–MAX1139 holds SCL low (clock
stretching). After the conversion completes, the results are
stored in internal memory. If the scan mode is set for multiple conversions, they will all happen in succession
with each additional result stored in memory.The
MAX1136/MAX1137 contain four 10-bit blocks of memory,
and the MAX1138/MAX1139 contain twelve 10-bit blocks
of memory. Once all conversions are complete, the
MAX1136–MAX1139 release SCL allowing it to be pulled
high. The master may now clock the results out of the
memory in the same order the scan conversion has been
done at a clock rate of up to 1.7MHz. SCL will be stretched
for a maximum of 7.6µs per channel (see Figure 10).

Figure 10. Internal Clock Mode Read Cycles
The device memory contains all of the conversion
results when the MAX1136–MAX1139 release SCL. The
converted results are read back in a first-in-first-out
(FIFO) sequence. If AIN_/REF is set to be a reference
input or output (SEL1 = 1, Table 6), AIN_/REF will be
excluded from a multichannel scan. The memory contents can be read continuously. If reading continues
past the result stored in memory, the pointer will wrap
around and point to the first result. Note that only the
current conversion results will be read from memory.
The device must be addressed with a read command
to obtain new conversion results.
The internal clock mode’s clock stretching quiets the
SCL bus signal reducing the system noise during conversion. Using the internal clock also frees the bus
master (typically a microcontroller) from the burden of
running the conversion clock, allowing it to perform
other tasks that do not need to use the bus.

SCANNING CONFIGURATION
Scans up from AIN2 to the input selected by CS1 and CS0. When CS1 and CS0 are set for AIN0–AIN2,
the only scan that takes place is AIN2 (MAX1136/MAX1137). When AIN/REF is set to be a reference
input/output, scanning stops at AIN2.
Scans up from AIN6 to the input selected by CS3–CS0. When CS3–CS0 is set for AIN0–AIN6, the only
scan that takes place is AIN6 (MAX1138/MAX1139). When AIN/REF is set to be a reference input/
output, scanning stops at selected channel or AIN10.
*Converts channel selected by CS3–CS0.
*When operating in external clock mode there is no difference between SCAN[1:0] = 01 and SCAN[1:0] = 11 and converting will occur
perpetually until not acknowledge occurs.
External Clock
When configured for external clock mode (CLK = 1),
the MAX1136–MAX1139 use the SCL as the conversion
clock. In external clock mode, the MAX1136–MAX1139
begin tracking the analog input on the ninth rising clock
edge of a valid slave address byte. Two SCL clock
cycles later the analog signal is acquired and the conversion begins. Unlike internal clock mode, converted
data is available immediately after the first four empty
high bits. The device will continuously convert input
channels dictated by the scan mode until given a not
acknowledge. There is no need to re-address the
device with a read command to obtain new conversion
results (see Figure 11).
The conversion must complete in 1ms or droop on the
track-and-hold capacitor will degrade conversion
results. Use internal clock mode if the SCL clock period
exceeds 60µs.
The MAX1136–MAX1139 must operate in external clock
mode for conversion rates from 40ksps to 94.4ksps.
Below 40ksps internal clock mode is recommended
due to much smaller power consumption.
Scan Mode
SCAN0 and SCAN1 of the configuration byte set the
scan mode configuration. Table 5 shows the scanning
configurations. If AIN_/REF is set to be a reference
input or output (SEL1 = 1, Table 6), AIN_/REF will be
excluded from a multichannel scan. The scanned
results are written to memory in the same order as the
conversion. Read the results from memory in the order
they were converted. Each result needs a 2-byte transmission, the first byte begins with six empty bits during
which SDA is left high. Each byte has to be acknowledged by the master or the memory transmission will
be terminated. It is not possible to read the memory
independently of conversion.
Applications Information
Power-On Reset
The configuration and setup registers (Tables 1 and 2)
will default to a single-ended, unipolar, single-channel
conversion on AIN0 using the internal clock with VDD as
the reference and AIN_/REF configured as an analog
input. The memory contents are unknown after power-up.
Automatic Shutdown
Automatic shutdown occurs between conversions when
the MAX1136–MAX1139 are idle. All analog circuits
participate in automatic shutdown except the internal
reference due to its prohibitively long wake-up time.
When operating in external clock mode, a STOP, notacknowledge or repeated START, condition must be
issued to place the devices in idle mode and benefit
from automatic shutdown. A STOP condition is not necessary in internal clock mode to benefit from automatic
shutdown because power-down occurs once all conversion results are written to memory (Figure 10). When
using an external reference or VDD as a reference, all
analog circuitry is inactive in shutdown and supply current is less than 0.5µA (typ). The digital conversion
results obtained in internal clock mode are maintained
in memory during shutdown and are available for
access through the serial interface at any time prior to a
STOP or a repeated START condition.
When idle the MAX1136–MAX1139 continuously wait
for a START condition followed by their slave address
(see Slave Address section). Upon reading a valid
address byte the MAX1136–MAX1139 power-up. The
internal reference requires 10ms to wake up, so when
using the internal reference it should be powered up

Wake-up is invisible when using an external reference or
VDD as the reference.
Automatic shutdown results in dramatic power savings,
particularly at slow conversion rates and with internal
clock. For example, at a conversion rate of 10ksps, the
average supply current for the MAX1137 is 60µA (typ) and
drops to 6µA (typ) at 1ksps. At 0.1ksps the average supply current is just 1µA, or a minuscule 3µW of power consumption, see Average Supply Current vs. Conversion
Rate in the Typical Operating Characteristics).
Reference Voltage
SEL[2:0] of the setup byte (Table 1) control the reference
and the AIN_/REF configuration (Table 6). When AIN_/REF
is configured to be a reference input or reference output
(SEL1 = 1), differential conversions on AIN_/REF appear
as if AIN_/REF is connected to GND (see Note 2 and
Table 4). Single-ended conversion in scan mode on
AIN_/REF will be ignored by internal limiter, which sets the
highest available channel at AIN2 or AIN10.
Internal Reference
The internal reference is 4.096V for the MAX1136/
MAX1138 and 2.048V for the MAX1137/MAX1139. SEL1
of the setup byte controls whether AIN_/REF is used for an
analog input or a reference (Table 6). When AIN_/REF is
configured to be an internal reference output (SEL[2:1] =
11), decouple AIN_/REF to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor
and a 2kΩ sereis resistor (see the Typical Operating
Circuit). Once powered up, the reference always remains
on until reconfigured. The internal reference requires 10ms
to wake up and is accessed using SEL0 (Table 6). When
in shutdown, the internal reference output is in a highimpedance state. The reference should not be used to
supply current for external circuitry. The internal reference
does not require an external bypass capacitor and works
best when not connected to the pin (SEL1 = 0).
External Reference
The external reference can range from 1V to VDD. For
maximum conversion accuracy, the reference must be

able to deliver up to 40µA and have an output impedance of 500Ω or less. If the reference has a higher output impedance or is noisy, bypass it to GND as close to
AIN_/REF as possible with a 0.1µF capacitor.
Transfer Functions
Output data coding for the MAX1136–MAX1139 is binary in unipolar mode and two’s complement in bipolar
mode with 1LSB = (VREF/2N) where ‘N’ is the number of
bits (10). Code transitions occur halfway between successive-integer LSB values. Figure 12 and Figure 13
show the input/output (I/O) transfer functions for unipolar and bipolar operations, respectively.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
Only use PC boards. Wire-wrap configurations are not
recommended since the layout should ensure proper
separation of analog and digital traces. Do not run analog and digital lines parallel to each other, and do not
layout digital signal paths underneath the ADC packOUTPUT CODE

age. Use separate analog and digital PC board ground
sections with only one star point (Figure 14) connecting
the two ground systems (analog and digital). For lowest
noise operation, ensure the ground return to the star
ground’s power supply is low impedance and as short
as possible. Route digital signals far away from sensitive analog and reference inputs.
High-frequency noise in the power supply (VDD) could
influence the proper operation of the ADC’s fast comparator. Bypass VDD to the star ground with a network of
two parallel capacitors, 0.1µF and 4.7µF, located as
close as possible to the MAX1136–MAX1139 power-supply pin. Minimize capacitor lead length for best supply
noise rejection, and add an attenuation resistor (5Ω) in
series with the power supply, if it is extremely noisy.
Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity
Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values on
an actual transfer function from a straight line. This straight
line can be either a best straight-line fit or a line drawn
between the endpoints of the transfer function, once offset
and gain errors have been nullified. The MAX1136–
MAX1139’s INL is measured using the endpoint.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between
an actual step width and the ideal value of 1LSB. A
DNL error specification of less than 1LSB guarantees
no missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in
the time between the samples.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay (tAD) is the time between the falling
edge of the sampling clock and the instant when an
actual sample is taken.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital samples, the theoretical maximum SNR is the ratio of the fullscale analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quantization
error (residual error). The ideal, theoretical minimum analog-to-digital noise is caused by quantization error only
and results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N Bits):
SNRMAX[dB] = 6.02dB N + 1.76dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantization noise: thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter,
etc. SNR is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS
signal to the RMS noise, which includes all spectral
components minus the fundamental, the first five harmonics, and the DC offset.
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion
Signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) is the ratio of the
fundamental input frequency’s RMS amplitude to RMS
equivalent of all other ADC output signals.
SINAD (dB) = 20 log (SignalRMS/NoiseRMS)

Effective Number of Bits
Effective number of bits (ENOB) indicates the global
accuracy of an ADC at a specific input frequency and
sampling rate. An ideal ADC’s error consists of quantization noise only. With an input range equal to the
ADC’s full-scale range, calculate the ENOB as follows:
⎡
⎤
SignalRMS
SINAD(dB) = 20 × log ⎢
⎥
⎣ NoiseRMS + THDRMS ⎦
ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76)/6.02

where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2 through V5

Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
Spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is the ratio of RMS
amplitude of the fundamental (maximum signal component) to the RMS value of the next largest distortion
component.
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of the input signal’s first five harmonics to the fundamental itself. This is expressed as:
