Differential Input Configurations

Optimum performance is achieved while driving the AD6653 in a

differential input configuration. For baseband applications, the

AD8138, ADA4937-2, and ADA4938-2 differential drivers provide

excellent performance and a flexible interface to the ADC. The

output common-mode voltage of the AD8138 is easily set with

the CML pin of the AD6653 (see Figure 47), and the driver can

be configured in a Sallen-Key filter topology to provide band

limiting of the input signal.

For baseband applications where SNR is a key parameter,

differential transformer coupling is the recommended input

configuration. An example is shown in Figure 48. To bias the

analog input, the CML voltage can be connected to the center

tap of the secondary winding of the transformer.

The signal characteristics must be considered when selecting

a transformer. Most RF transformers saturate at frequencies

below a few megahertz (MHz). Excessive signal power can also

cause core saturation, which leads to distortion.

At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the

noise performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve

the true SNR performance of the AD6653. For applications where

SNR is a key parameter, differential double balun coupling is

the recommended input configuration (see Figure 49).

An alternative to using a transformer coupled input at frequencies

in the second Nyquist zone is to use the AD8352 differential

driver, as shown in Figure 50. See the AD8352 data sheet for

more information. In addition, if the application requires an

amplifier with variable gain, the AD8375 or AD8376 digital

variable gain amplifiers (DVGAs) provide good performance

driving the AD6653.

In any configuration, the value of the shunt capacitor, C, is

dependent on the input frequency and source impedance and

may need to be reduced or removed. Table 10 displays

recommended values to set the RC network. However, these

values are dependent on the input signal and should be used

only as a starting guide.
