Single-Ended to Differential Driver Circuit for the LTC2387-18 SAR ADC

Doug Stuetzle - Senior Analog Applications Engineer Sep 26th 2016
The LTC®2387-18 is a 15Msps, highly linear, low-noise SAR converter with differential inputs. The combination of excellent linearity and wide dynamic range makes this ADC ideal for high speed imaging and instrumentation applications. No-latency operation provides a unique solution for high speed control loop applications. ...

Digital Gain Compression (DGC) for SAR ADCs

Mar 11th 2014
The LTC2378-20 offers a digital gain compression (DGC) feature which defines the full-scale input swing to be between 10% and 90% of the ±VREF analog input range. This feature allows the SAR ADC driver to be powered off of a single positive supply since each input swings between 0.5V and 4.5V as shown in the figure below. Needing ...

ADC Driving: Single-Ended To Differential Conversion

Guy Hoover - Applications Engineer Sep 5th 2013
Figure 1 shows the LT6350 being used to convert a 0V to 5V single-ended input signal to differential for an ADC with differential inputs. In this case, the first amplifier is configured as a unity gain buffer and the single-ended input signal directly drives the high-impedance input of the amplifier. As shown in the FFT of Figure ...

ADC Driving: Pseudo-Differential Unipolar or Bipolar Inputs

Guy Hoover - Applications Engineer Aug 28th 2013
For most applications, we recommend the low power LT6202 ADC driver to drive the LTC2369-18. With a low noise density of 1.9nV/√Hz and a low supply current of 3mA, the LT6202 is flexible and may be configured to convert signals of various amplitudes to the 0V to 5V input range of the LTC2369-18. To achieve the full ...

Can You Use the Voltage Reference to Power Your ADC Driver?

Kris Lokere - Strategic Applications Manager Jul 11th 2013
Linear Technology’s family of 16-, 18-, and 20-Bit SAR ADCs (LTC2378-20 family) operates with an external reference voltage of up to 5V. The largest input voltage that you are then supposed to put on each ADC input pin is equal to that 5V reference voltage. It seems logical to use an opamp on a 5V supply with rail-to-rail ...
