deliver the full swing. The ADC354x provides an output common mode voltage of 0.95V and the THS4541 for

example can only swing within 250 mV of its negative supply. A unipolar 3.3 V amplifier power supply will thus

limit the maximum voltage swing to ~ 2.8Vpp. Additionally input voltage protection diodes may be needed to

protect the ADC from over-voltage events.

8.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.1.2.1 Input Signal Path

Depending on desired input signal frequency range the THS4551 and THS4541 provide very good low power

options to drive the ADC inputs. Table 8-3 provides a comparison between the THS4551 and THS4541 and the

power consumption vs usable frequency trade off.

The low pass filter design (topology, filter order) is driven by the application itself. However, when designing the

low pass filter, the optimum load impedance for the amplifier should be taken into consideration as well. Between

the low pass filter and the ADC input the sampling glitch filter needs to added as well as shown in Section

7.3.1.2.1. In this example the DC - 30 MHz glitch filter is selected.

8.1.2.2 Sampling Clock

Applications operating with low input frequencies (such as DC to 20 MHz) typically are less sensitive to

performance degradation due to clock jitter. The internal ADC aperture jitter improves with faster rise and fall

times (i.e. square wave vs sine wave). Table 8-4 provides an overview of the estimated SNR performance of the

ADC354x based on different amounts of jitter of the external clock source. The SNR is estimated based on

ADC354x thermal noise of 79 dBFS and input signal at -1dBFS.

8.1.2.3 Voltage Reference

The ADC354x is configured to internal reference operation by applying 0.6 V to the REFBUF pin.
