7.3.1 Analog Input

The AMC1035-Q1 incorporates front-end circuitry that contains a buffered sampling stage, followed by a ΔΣ modulator. To support a bipolar input range, the device uses a charge pump that allows single-supply operation to simplify the overall system design and minimize the circuit cost. For reduced offset and offset drift, the input buffer is chopper-stabilized with the switching frequency set at f_CLKIN / 32. Figure 37 shows the spur created by the switching frequency.

The linearity and noise performance of the device are ensured only when the differential analog input voltage remains within the specified linear full-scale range (FSR), that is ±1 V, and within the specified input common-mode range.

Figure 38 shows the specified common-mode input voltage that applies for the full-scale input voltage range as specified in this document along with the corresponding common-mode undervoltage and overvoltage threshold levels.

If smaller input signals are used, the operational common-mode input voltage range widens. Figure 39 shows the common-mode input voltage that applies with no differential input signal; that is, when the voltage applied on AINP is equal to the voltage applied on AINN. The common-mode input voltage range scales with the actual differential input voltage between this range and the range in Figure 38.
