For baseband applications below ~10 MHz where SNR is a key
parameter, differential transformer coupling is the recommended
input configuration. An example is shown in Figure 38. To bias
the analog input, the VCM voltage can be connected to the
center tap of the secondary winding of the transformer.
The signal characteristics must be considered when selecting
a transformer. Most RF transformers saturate at frequencies
below a few megahertz (MHz). Excessive signal power can also
cause core saturation, which leads to distortion.
At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the
noise performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve
the true SNR performance of the AD9266. For applications above
~10 MHz where SNR is a key parameter, differential double balun
coupling is the recommended input configuration (see Figure 40).
An alternative to using a transformer-coupled input at frequencies
in the second Nyquist zone is to use the
An example is shown in Figure 41. See the AD8352 data sheet
for more information.

In any configuration, the value of Shunt Capacitor C is dependent
on the input frequency and source impedance and may need to
be reduced or removed. Table 9 displays the suggested values to set
the RC network. However, these values are dependent on the
input signal and should be used only as a starting guide.

Single-Ended Input Configuration
A single-ended input can provide adequate performance in
cost-sensitive applications. In this configuration, SFDR and
distortion performance degrade due to the large input common-
mode swing. If the source impedances on each input are matched,
there should be little effect on SNR performance. Figure 39
shows a typical single-ended input configuration.
