Figure 9 shows another ADC driver connection. The circuit was

tested with a noninverting gain of 10.1 and an output voltage of

approximately 20 V p-p for optimum resolution and noise per-

formance. No filtering was used. An FFT was performed using

Analog Devices’ evaluation software for the AD7665 16-bit

converter. The results are listed in Table III.

DIFFERENTIAL DRIVER

The AD8021 is uniquely suited as a low noise differential driver

for many ADCs, balanced lines, and other applications requiring

differential drive. If pairs of internally compensated op amps are

configured as inverter and follower, the noise gain of the inverter

will be higher than that of the follower section, resulting in an

imbalance in the frequency response (see Figure 11).

A better solution takes advantage of the external compensation

feature of the AD8021. By reducing the CCOMP value of the inverter,

its bandwidth may be increased to match that of the follower,

avoiding compromises in gain bandwidth and phase delay. The

inverting and noninverting bandwidths can be closely matched

using the compensation feature, thus minimizing distortion.

DRIVING 16-BIT ADCS

Low noise and adjustable compensation make the AD8021

especially suitable as a buffer/driver for high resolution analog-

to-digital converters.

As seen in TPC 15, the harmonic distortion is better than 90 dB at

frequencies between 100 kHz and 1 MHz. This is a real advantage

for complex waveforms that contain high frequency information,

as the phase and gain integrity of the sampled waveform can be

preserved throughout the conversion process. The increase in

loop gain results in improved output regulation and lower noise

when the converter input changes state during a sample. This

advantage is particularly apparent when using 16-bit high resolu-

tion ADCs with high sampling rates.

Figure 8 shows a typical ADC driver configuration. The AD8021

is in an inverting gain of –7.5, fC is 65 kHz, and its output voltage

is 10 V p-p. The results are listed in Table II.
