PRODUCTION DATA
The analog inputs of the ADC12D1620 are not designed to accept single-ended signals. The best way to handle single-ended signals is to first convert them to differential signals before presenting them to the ADC. The easiest way to accomplish single-ended to differential signal conversion is with an appropriate balun transformer, as shown in Figure 8-3.
When selecting a balun, it is important to understand the input architecture of the ADC. Match the impedance of the analog source to the on-chip 100-Ω differential input termination resistor of the device. The range of this termination resistor is specified as RIN in Converter Electrical Characteristics: Analog Input/Output and Reference Characteristics.
