PRODUCTION DATA
In DC-coupled mode, the ADC12D1620 differential inputs must have the correct common-mode voltage. This voltage is provided by the device itself at the VCMO output pin. TI recommends using this voltage because the VCMO output potential changes with temperature, and the common-mode voltage of the driving device should track this change. Full-scale distortion performance falls off as the input common-mode voltage deviates from VCMO. Therefore, TI recommends keeping the input common-mode voltage within 100 mV of VCMO (typical), although this range may be extended to ±150 mV (maximum). See VCMI in Converter Electrical Characteristics: Analog Input/Output and Reference Characteristics and ENOB vs VCMI in Typical Characteristics. Performance in AC- and DC-coupled modes are similar, provided that the input common mode voltage at both analog inputs remains within 100 mV of VCMO.
