AD7934-6
The amplitude of the differential signal is the difference between
the signals applied to the V
pair (that is, V
driven by two signals, each of amplitude V
depending on the range chosen), which are 180° out of phase.
The amplitude of the differential signal is therefore −V
peak-to-peak (that is, 2 × V
(CM). The common mode is the average of the two signals,
(V
inputs are centered. This results in the span of each input being

range varies with the reference value V
increases, the common-mode range decreases. When driving the
inputs with an amplifier, the actual common-mode range is
determined by the amplifier output voltage swing.
Figure 25 and Figure 26 show how the common-mode range
typically varies with V

common mode must be in this range to guarantee the
functionality of the AD7934-6.
When a conversion takes place, the common mode is rejected.

Driving Differential Inputs
Differential operation requires that V
ously driven with two equal signals that are 180° out of phase.
The common mode must be set up externally and has a range
that is determined by V
amplifier used to drive the analog inputs. Differential modes of
operation with either an ac or a dc input provide the best THD
performance over a wide frequency range. Not all applications
have a signal preconditioned for differential operation, so there
is often a need to perform single-ended-to-differential conversion.
Using an Op Amp Pair
An op amp pair can be used to directly couple a differential
signal to one of the analog input pairs of the AD7934-6. The
circuit configurations in Figure 27 and Figure 28 show how a
dual op amp can be used to convert a single-ended signal into a
differential signal for both a bipolar and unipolar input signal,
respectively.
The voltage applied to Point A sets up the common-mode
voltage. In both diagrams, it is connected in some way to the
reference, but any value in the common-mode range can be
input to set up the common mode. A suitable dual op amp for
use in this configuration to provide differential drive to the
AD7934-6 is the AD8022.
It is advisable to take care when choosing the op amp; the
selection depends on the required power supply and system
performance objectives. The driver circuits in Figure 27 and
Figure 28 are optimized for dc coupling applications requiring
best distortion performance. The circuit configuration in
Figure 27 converts and level shifts a single-ended, ground-
referenced, bipolar signal to a differential signal centered at
the V
Figure 28 converts a unipolar, single-ended signal into a
differential signal.
