The analog input to the converter must be driven with a low-noise operational amplifier such as the THS4031 or

OPA365. An RC filter is recommended at the input pins to low-pass filter the noise from the source. Two 20

Ω

resistors and a 470pF capacitor are recommended. The input to the converter is a unipolar input voltage in the

range of 0V to VREF. The minimum –3dB bandwidth of the driving operational amplifier can be calculated as:

f3db = (ln(2) ×(n+1))/(2π × tACQ)

where n is equal to 12, the resolution of the ADC (in the case of the ADS7229/30). When tACQ = 120ns (minimum

acquisition time), the minimum bandwidth of the driving amplifier is 12MHz. The bandwidth can be relaxed if the

acquisition time is increased by the application. The OPA365 or THS4031 from Texas Instruments are

recommended. The THS4031 used in the source follower configuration to drive the converter is shown in a

typical input drive configuration, Figure 54.

In systems where the input is bipolar, the THS4031 can be used in the inverting configuration with an additional

dc bias applied to its positive input to keep the input to the ADS7229/30 within the rated operating voltage range.

This configuration is also recommended when the ADS7229/30 is used in signal processing applications where

good SNR and THD performance are required. The dc bias can be derived from the REF5025 or the REF5040

reference voltage ICs. The input configuration shown in Figure 55 is capable of delivering better than 72dB SNR

and –88.5dB THD at an input frequency of 10kHz. If bandpass filters are used to filter the input, care should be

taken to ensure that the signal swing at the input of the bandpass filter is small in order to keep the distortion

introduced by the filter minimal. In such cases, the gain of the circuit shown in Figure 55 can be increased to

keep the input to the ADS7229/30 large in order to maintain a high SNR of the system. Note that the gain of the

system from the positive input to the output of the THS4031 in such a configuration is a function of the ac signal

gain. A resistor divider can be used to scale the output of the REF5025 or REF5040 to reduce the voltage at the

dc input to the THS4031 to maintain the voltage at the converter input within its rated operating range.
