LTC2355-12/LTC2355-14 APPLICATIONS INFORMATIONDRIVING THE ANALOG INPUT detailed information is available in the Linear Technology The differential analog inputs of the LTC2355-12/LTC2355-14 Databooks and on the LinearView™ CD-ROM.) may be driven differentially or as a single-ended input (i.e., LTC1566-1: Low Noise 2.3MHz Continuous Time Low- the A – IN input is grounded). Both differential analog in- Pass Filter. puts, A + – IN and AIN , are sampled at the same instant. Any LT®1630: Dual 30MHz Rail-to-Rail Voltage FB Amplifier. unwanted signal that is common to both inputs of each 2.7V to ±15V supplies. Very high A input pair will be reduced by the common mode rejection VOL, 500µV offset and 520ns settling to 0.5LSB for a 4V swing. THD and noise of the sample-and-hold circuit. The inputs draw only one are –93dB to 40kHz and below 1LSB to 320kHz (A small current spike while charging the sample-and-hold V = 1, 2V capacitors at the end of conversion. During conversion, P-P into 1kΩ, VS = 5V), making the part excellent for AC applications (to 1/3 Nyquist) where rail-to-rail performance the analog inputs draw only a small leakage current. If the is desired. Quad version is available as LT1631. source impedance of the driving circuit is low, then the LTC2355-12/LTC2355-14 inputs can be driven directly. As LT1632: Dual 45MHz Rail-to-Rail Voltage FB Amplifier. source impedance increases, so will acquisition time. For 2.7V to ±15V supplies. Very high AVOL, 1.5mV offset and minimum acquisition time with high source impedance, 400ns settling to 0.5LSB for a 4V swing. It is suitable for a buffer amplifier must be used. The main requirement is applications with a single 5V supply. THD and noise are that the amplifier driving the analog input(s) must settle –93dB to 40kHz and below 1LSB to 800kHz (AV = 1, after the small current spike before the next conversion 2VP-P into 1kΩ, VS = 5V), making the part excellent for starts (settling time must be 39ns for full throughput rate). AC applications where rail-to-rail performance is desired. Also keep in mind while choosing an input amplifier the Quad version is available as LT1633. amount of noise and harmonic distortion added by the LT1813: Dual 100MHz 750V/µs 3mA Voltage Feedback amplifier. Amplifier. 5V to ±5V supplies. Distortion is –86dB to 100kHz and –77dB to 1MHz with ±5V supplies (2VP-P into 500Ω). CHOOSING AN INPUT AMPLIFIER Excellent part for fast AC applications with ±5V supplies. Choosing an input amplifier is easy if a few requirements LT1801: 80MHz GBWP, –75dBc at 500kHz, 2mA/Amplifier, are taken into consideration. First, to limit the magnitude of 8.5nV/√Hz. the voltage spike seen by the amplifier from charging the LT1806/LT1807: 325MHz GBWP, –80dBc Distortion at 5MHz, Uni- sampling capacitor, choose an amplifier that has a low output ty-Gain Stable, R-R In and Out, 10mA/Amplifier, 3.5nV/√Hz. impedance (<100Ω) at the closed-loop bandwidth frequency. For example, if an amplifier is used in a gain of 1 and has a LT1810: 180MHz GBWP, –90dBc Distortion at 5MHz, unity-gain bandwidth of 50MHz, then the output impedance at Unity-Gain Stable, R-R In and Out, 15mA/Amplifier, 16nV/√Hz. 50MHz must be less than 100Ω. The second requirement is LT1818/LT1819: 400MHz, 2500V/µs,9mA, Single/Dual that the closed-loop bandwidth must be greater than 40MHz Voltage Mode Operational Amplifier. to ensure adequate small-signal settling for full throughput rate. If slower op amps are used, more time for settling can LT6200: 165MHz GBWP, –85dBc Distortion at 1MHz, be provided by increasing the time between conversions. Unity-Gain Stable, R-R In and Out, 15mA/Amplifier, The best choice for an op amp to drive the LTC2355-12/ 0.95nV/√Hz. LTC2355-14 will depend on the application. Generally, ap- LT6203: 100MHz GBWP, –80dBc Distortion at 1MHz, plications fall into two categories: AC applications where Unity-Gain Stable, R-R In and Out, 3mA/Amplifier, dynamic specifications are most critical and time domain 1.9nV/√Hz. applications where DC accuracy and settling time are most critical. The following list is a summary of the op amps that LT6600-10: Amplifier/Filter Differential In/Out with 10MHz are suitable for driving the LTC2355-12/LTC2355-14. (More Cutoff.
