APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

impedance mismatches internally to the IC. Additionally,

the CAP pin should be bypassed to the ground plane with

a high quality 180pF ceramic capacitor to ensure proper

operation of LTC6373 across its different gain settings.

To prevent coupling noise onto LTC6373, shield fast

switching digital signals where they are in proximity of

analog signals on the board.

Driving High Precision ADCs

The LTC6373 makes an excellent PGIA for use in data

acquisition systems. Attributes such as fully differen-

tial outputs, good DC precision, low noise, low distor-

tion, and high bandwidth enable LTC6373 to drive ADCs

directly in many signal conditioning applications. The

recommended list of precision SAR ADCs for use with

the LTC6373 is shown in Table 3. The circuit in Figure

8 shows an example of the LTC6373 driving a precision

ADC such as the AD4020 (a 20-bit, 1.8Msps, SAR ADC) or

AD7134 (a 24-bit, 1.5Msps, Continuous-Time, ∑-∆ ADC).

The LTC6373 is DC-coupled on the input and the output,

which eliminates the need for a transformer to drive the

ADC. The LTC6373 gain is programmed to its desired set-

ting using A2/A1/A0 pins, as previously described in the

Gain Selection section of this data sheet. In the example

of Figure 8, the LTC6373 is being used in a differential

input to differential output configuration with dual sup-

plies of ±15V. It can also be used in a single-ended input

to differential output configuration.

The VOCM pin is biased to VREF/2 (which is provided

directly by the ADC in some products). This achieves

level shifting of the outputs of the LTC6373 to match the

desired input common mode of the ADC. In Figure 8, each

of the LTC6373 outputs swings between 0V and VREF

(opposite in phase), thus providing 2VREF peak-to-peak

differential signal to the ADC inputs. In some cases, an

RC network between the LTC6373 outputs and the ADC

inputs is required providing a single-pole, low-pass filter

to help reduce nonlinear charge kickback due to ADC input

switching as well as limiting the broadband noise.
