PRODUCTION DATA
The ADC12D1620 analog inputs require a precise common-mode voltage. This voltage is generated on-chip when AC-coupling mode is selected. See AC- and DC-Coupled Modes for more information about how to select AC-coupled mode.
In AC-coupled mode, the analog inputs must of course be AC-coupled. For an ADC12D1620 used in a typical application, this may be accomplished by on-board capacitors, as shown in Figure 8-2.
When the AC-coupled mode is selected, terminate unused channels as shown in Table 8-1. Do not connect an unused analog input directly to ground.
The analog inputs for the ADC12D1620 are internally buffered; this simplifies the task of driving these inputs and the RC pole, which is generally used at sampling ADC inputs, is not required. If the user desires to place an amplifier circuit before the ADC, take care to choose an amplifier with adequate noise and distortion performance, and adequate gain at the frequencies used for the application.
