This design is intended to help the system designer in understanding tradeoffs and optimizing implementation for driving the Giga-Sample-Per-Second ADC with balun configurations for wideband applications. The tradeoffs considered include balun construction, insertion loss, dynamic performance, configurability, and ease of implementation. Topology and layout play a critical role in optimizing system performance, which is why these designs can help to reduce designs cycles.
