ZHCSS23A april 2023 – august 2023 LMH32401-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The differential outputs of the LMH32401-Q1 can directly drive a high-speed differential input ADC. Figure 8-1 shows the LMH32401-Q1 differential outputs directly driving the ADC12QJ1600. The effective signal gain between the TIA input and the ADC input is 2 kΩ or 20 kΩ when driving an ADC with a 100-Ω differential input impedance (RADC_IN = 50 Ω). Equation 2 gives the effective signal gain between the TIA input and the ADC input when driving an ADC with any other value of differential input impedance (RADC_IN ≠ 50 Ω).
where
Figure 8-2 shows a matching resistor network between the LMH32401-Q1 output and the ADC12QJ1600 input. The matching network is needed to prevent signal reflections when the signal path between the LMH32401-Q1 and ADC is very long. Equation 3 gives the effective gain from the TIA input to the ADC input when using a matching resistor network.
where
Equation 4 gives the voltage to be applied at VOD (pin 9) if a certain differential offset voltage (VOD) is needed at the ADC input for the circuit in Figure 8-2.
