Distortion vs. Frequency at Various Output Amplitudes GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADA4941-1 is a low power, low noise differential driver for ADCs up to 18 bits in systems that are sensitive to power. The ADA4941-1 is configured in an easy-to-use, single-ended-todifferential configuration and requires no external components for a gain of 2 configuration. A resistive feedback network can be added to achieve gains greater than 2. The ADA4941-1 provides essential benefits, such as low distortion and high SNR, that are required for driving high resolution ADCs. With a wide input voltage range (0 V to 3.9 V on a single 5 V supply), rail-to-rail output, high input impedance, and a useradjustable gain, the ADA4941-1 is designed to drive singlesupply ADCs with differential inputs found in a variety of low power applications, including battery-operated devices and single-supply data acquisition systems. The ADA4941-1 is ideal for driving the 16-bit and 18-bit PulSAR® ADCs such as the AD7687, AD7690, and AD7691. The ADA4941-1 is manufactured on ADI’s proprietary secondgeneration XFCB process, which enables the amplifier to achieve 18-bit performance on low supply currents. The ADA4941-1 is available in a small 8-lead LFCSP as well as a standard 8-lead SOIC and is rated to work over the extended industrial temperature range, −40°C to +125°C. Rev.

This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. THERMAL RESISTANCE θJA is specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, θJA is specified for a device soldered in the circuit board with its exposed paddle soldered to a pad (if applicable) on the PCB surface that is thermally connected to a copper plane, with zero airflow. Table 5. Thermal Resistance Package Type 8-Lead SOIC on 4-Layer Board 8-Lead LFCSP with EP on 4-Layer Board θJA 126 83 θJC 28 19 Unit The power dissipated in the package (PD) is the sum of the quiescent power dissipation and the power dissipated in the package due to the load drive for all outputs. The quiescent power is the voltage between the supply pins (VS) times the quiescent current (IS). The power dissipated due to the load drive depends upon the particular application. For each output, the power due to load drive is calculated by multiplying the load current by the associated voltage drop across the device. The power dissipated due to all of the loads is equal to the sum of the power dissipation due to each individual load. RMS voltages and currents must be used in these calculations. Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing θJA. In addition, more metal directly in contact with the package leads from metal traces, through holes, ground, and power planes reduces the θJA. The exposed paddle on the underside of the package must be soldered to a pad on the PCB surface that is thermally connected to a copper plane to achieve the specified θJA. Figure 3 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the packages vs. the ambient temperature for the 8-lead SOIC (126°C/W) and for the 8-lead LFCSP (83°C/W) on a JEDEC standard 4-layer board. The LFCSP must have its underside paddle soldered to a pad that is thermally connected to a PCB plane. θJA values are approximations. °C/W °C/W 2.5 MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION (W) Parameter Supply Voltage Power Dissipation Storage Temperature Range Operating Temperature Range Lead Temperature (Soldering 10 sec) Junction Temperature Maximum Power Dissipation The maximum safe power dissipation in the ADA4941-1 package is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature (TJ) on the die. At approximately 150°C, which is the glass transition temperature, the plastic changes its properties. Even temporarily exceeding this temperature limit can change the stresses that the package exerts on the die, permanently shifting the parametric performance of the ADA4941-1. Exceeding a junction temperature of 150°C for an extended period can result in changes in the silicon devices potentially causing failure. 2.0 LFCSP 1.5 1.0 SOIC 0.5 0 –40 –20 0 20 40 60 80 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (°C) 100 120 05704-002 Table 4. Figure 3. Maximum Power Dissipation vs. Temperature for a 4-Layer Board ESD CAUTION ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. Rev.

Figure 47 illustrates how the ADA4941-1 is typically connected. The amplifier is composed of an uncommitted amplifier, A1, driving a precision inverter, A2. The negative input of A1 is brought out to Pin 1 (FB), allowing for user-programmable gain. The inverting op amp, A2, provides accurate inversion of the output of A1, VOP, producing the output signal VON. OUT+ 8 IN 2 OUT– 500Ω RF || RG VIN + VON – 4.99kΩ In Figure 47, RG and RF form the external gain-setting network. VG and VREF are externally applied voltages. VO, cm is defined as the output common-mode voltage and VO, dm is defined as the differential-mode output voltage. The following equations can be derived from Figure 47: 8 IN VS+ 1kΩ A1 A2 REF 500Ω OUT– 5 + VON – 6 –5V Figure 48. Dual Supply, G = 2.4, Single-Ended-to-Differential Amplifier Figure 48 shows an example of a dual-supply connection. In this example, VG and VREF are set to 0 V, and the external RF and RG network provides a noninverting gain of 1.2 in A1. This example takes full advantage of the rail-to-rail output stage. The gain equation is VOP − VON = 2.4(VIN) (6) The in-series, 825 Ω resistor combined with Pin 8 compensates for the voltage error generated by the input offset current of A1. The linear output range of both A1 and A2 extends to within 200 mV of each supply rail, which allows a peak-to-peak differential output voltage of 19.2 V on ±5 V supplies. OUT+ 1kΩ 3 (1) VIN + 2(VREF ) FB VIN BASIC OPERATION 1 825Ω The voltage applied to the REF pin appears as the output common-mode voltage. Note that the voltage applied to the REF pin does not affect the voltage at the OUT+ pin. Because of this, a differential offset can exist between the outputs, while the desired output common-mode voltage is present. For example, when VOP = 3.5 V and VON = 1.5 V, the output commonmode voltage is equal to 2.5 V, just as it is when both outputs are at 2.5 V. In the first case, the differential voltage (or offset) is 2.0 V, and in the latter case, the differential voltage is 0 V. When calculating output voltages, both differential and common-mode voltages must be considered at the same time to avoid undesired differential offsets.

C | Page 15 of 24 (7) ADA4941-1 In this case, the linear output voltage is limited by A1. On the low end, the output of A1 starts to saturate and show degraded linearity when VOP approaches 200 mV. On the high end, the input of A1 becomes saturated and exhibits degraded linearity when VIN moves beyond 4 V (within 1 V of VCC). This limits the linear differential output voltage in the circuit shown in Figure 49 to about 7.6 V p-p. 1.02kΩ 8 VS+ VS– 2 6 402Ω 1kΩ A1 IN R VOP_error = 1 + F RG +5V A2 REF OUT– 5 + VON – 500Ω +2.5V VIN Figure 50 shows a single 5 V supply connection for G = 5.

DC errors are minimized when RS = RF || RG. In this case, Equation 9 is reduced to (9) VCM is the input common-mode voltage (for A1, the voltage at IN, and for A2, the voltage at REF).

R VO , dm = VIN 1 + F × RG 2 f f 1 + RF + RG × × + 1 R 25 MHz 50 MHz G (20) There are two poles in this transfer function, and the lower frequency pole limits the bandwidth of the differential amplifier. If VOP is shorted to IN− (A1 is a unity gain follower), the 25 MHz closed-loop bandwidth of the inverting channel limits the overall bandwidth. When A1 is operating with higher noise gains, the bandwidth is limited by A1’s closed-loop bandwidth, which is inversely proportional to the noise gain (1 + RF/RG). For instance, if the external feedback network provides a noise gain of 10, the bandwidth drops to 5 MHz. Rev. C | Page 19 of 24 ADA4941-1 APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW The ADA4941-1 is an adjustable-gain, single-ended-to-differential voltage amplifier, optimized for driving high resolution ADCs. Single-ended-to-differential gain is controlled by one feedback network, comprised of two external resistors: RF and RG. USING THE REF PIN The REF pin sets the output base line in the inverting path and is used as a reference for the input signal. In most applications, the REF pin is set to the input signal midswing level, which in many cases is also midsupply. For bipolar signals and dual power supplies, REF is generally set to ground. In single-supply applications, setting REF to the input signal midswing level provides optimal output dynamic range performance with minimum differential offset. Note that the REF input only affects the inverting signal path or VON. Most applications require a differential output signal with the same dc common-mode level on each output. It is possible for the signal measured across VOP and VON to have a commonmode voltage that is of the desired level but not common to both outputs. This type of signal is generally avoided because it does not allow for optimal use of the amplifier’s output dynamic range. Defining VIN as the voltage applied to the input pin, the equations that govern the two signal paths are given in Equation 21 and Equation 22. VOP = VIN (21) VON = −VIN + 2 (REF) (22) When the REF voltage is set to the midswing level of the input signal, the two output signals fall directly on top of each other with minimal offset. Setting the REF voltage elsewhere results in an offset between the two outputs. The best use of the REF pin can be further illustrated by considering a single-supply case with a 10 V power supply and an input signal that varies between 2 V and 7 V. This is a case where the midswing level of the input signal is not at midsupply but is at 4.5 V. Setting the REF input at 4.5 V and neglecting offsets, Equation 21 and Equation 22 are used to calculate the results. When the input signal is at its midpoint of 4.5 V, OUT+ is at 4.5 V, as is VON. This can be considered as a base line state where the differential output voltage is 0. When the input increases to 7 V, VOP tracks the input to 7 V, and VON decreases to 2 V. This can be viewed as a positive peak signal where the differential output voltage equals 5 V. When the input signal decreases to 2 V, VOP again tracks to 2 V, and VON increases to 7 V. This can be viewed as a negative peak signal where the differential output voltage equals −5 V. The resulting differential output voltage is 10 V p-p. The previous discussion reveals how the single-ended-todifferential gain of 2 is achieved. INTERNAL FEEDBACK NETWORK POWER DISSIPATION While traditional op amps do not have on-chip feedback elements, the ADA4941-1 contains two on-chip, 1 kΩ resistors that comprise an internal feedback loop. The power dissipated in these resistors must be included in the overall power dissipation calculations for the device. Under certain circumstances, the power dissipated in these resistors could be comparable to the device’s quiescent dissipation. For example, on ±5 V supplies with the REF pin tied to ground and OUT− at +4 VDC, each 1 kΩ resistor carries 4 mA and dissipates 16 mW for a total of 32 mW. This is comparable to the quiescent power and must therefore be included in the overall device power dissipation calculations. For ac signals, rms analysis is required. DISABLE FEATURE The ADA4941-1 includes a disable feature that can be asserted to minimize power consumption in a device that is not needed at a particular time. When asserted, the disable feature does not place the device output in a high impedance or tristate condition. The disable feature is active high. See the Specifications tables for the high and low level voltage specifications. Rev. C | Page 20 of 24 ADA4941-1 ADDING A 3-POLE, SALLEN-KEY FILTER Figure 54 illustrates a 3-pole, Sallen-Key, low-pass filter with a −3 dB cutoff frequency of 100 kHz. The 1.69 kΩ resistor is included to minimize dc errors due to the input offset current in A1. The passive RC filters on the outputs are generally required by the ADC converter that is being driven. The frequency response of the filter is shown in Figure 55. The noninverting amplifier in the ADA4941-1 can be used as the buffer amplifier of a Sallen-Key filter. A 3-pole, low-pass filter can be designed to limit the signal bandwidth in front of an ADC. The input signal first passes through the noninverting stage where it is filtered. The filtered signal is then passed through the inverting stage to obtain the complementary output.

The SallenKey, low-pass filter shown in Figure 54 is included in this example but is not required. The circuit shown in Figure 56 accepts single-ended input signals that swing between 0 V and 3 V. The ADA4941-1 can be operated in a configuration referred to as gain of −2. Clearly, a gain of −2 can be achieved by simply swapping the outputs of a gain of +2 circuit, but the configuration described here is different. The configuration is referred to as having negative gain to emphasize that the input amplifier, A1, is operated as an inverting amplifier instead of in its usual noninverting mode. As implied in its name, the voltage gain from VIN to VO, dm is −2 V/V. See Figure 57 for the gain of −2 configuration on ±5 V supplies. The ADR443 provides a stable, low noise, 3 V reference that is buffered by one of the AD8032 amplifiers and applied to the AD7687 REF input, providing a differential input full-scale level of 6 V. The reference voltage is also divided by two and buffered to supply the midsupply REF level of 1.5 V for the ADA4941-1. The gain of −2 configuration is most useful in applications that have wide input swings because the input common-mode voltages are held at constant levels. The signal size is therefore constrained by the output swing limits. The gain of −2 has a low input resistance that is equal to RG. +5V 0.1µF OUT+ 1kΩ 3 10nF 562Ω 562Ω 1.69kΩ 1 562Ω FB VS+ 6 VIN 0V TO 3V 3.9nF 560pF 2 3 OUT– A2 5 33Ω 2.7nF –5V IN+ VDD AD7687 0.1µF 1kΩ VS– ADA4941-1 2 REF 500Ω 33Ω 2.7nF A1 IN 8 4 4 IN– GND REF 5 1 0.1µF +5V 10µF ADR443 0.1µF VIN VOUT GND 6 3 8 1 0.1µF 2 1/2 10µF 4 AD8032 4 1kΩ 5 7 1kΩ 6 1/2 AD8032 Figure 56.
