APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
LTC1403-1/LTC1403A-1
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUT
The differential analog inputs of the LTC1403-1/LTC1403A-1
are easy to drive. The inputs may be driven differentially or as
a single-ended input (i.e., the A
differential analog inputs, A
same instant. Any unwanted signal that is common to both
inputs of each input pair will be reduced by the common mode
rejection of the sample-and-hold circuit. The inputs draw only
one small current spike while charging the sample-and-hold
capacitors at the end of conversion. During conversion, the
analog inputs draw only a small leakage current. If the source
impedance of the driving circuit is low, then the LTC1403-1/
LTC1403A-1 inputs can be driven directly. As source imped-
ance increases, so will acquisition time. For minimum acqui-
sition time with high source impedance, a buffer amplifier
must be used. The main requirement is that the amplifier
driving the analog input(s) must settle after the small current
spike before the next conversion starts (settling time must be
39ns for full throughput rate). Also keep in mind while
choosing an input amplifier, the amount of noise and har-
monic distortion added by the amplifier.
CHOOSING AN INPUT AMPLIFIER
Choosing an input amplifier is easy if a few requirements are
taken into consideration. First, to limit the magnitude of the
voltage spike seen by the amplifier from charging the sam-
pling capacitor, choose an amplifier that has a low output
impedance (<100 ) at the closed-loop bandwidth frequency.
For example, if an amplifier is used with a gain of 1 and has
a unity-gain bandwidth of 50MHz, then the output impedance
at 50MHz must be less than 100 . The second requirement
is that the closed-loop bandwidth must be greater than
40MHz to ensure adequate small-signal settling for full
throughput rate. If slower op amps are used, more time for
settling can be provided by increasing the time between
conversions. The best choice for an op amp to drive the
LTC1403-1/LTC1403A-1 will depend on the application. Gen-
erally, applications fall into two categories: AC applications
where dynamic specifications are most critical and time
domain applications where DC accuracy and settling time are
most critical. The following list is a summary of the op amps
that are suitable for driving the LTC1403-1/LTC1403A-1.
