8.3.1 Analog Inputs

The analog inputs of the ADC366x have internal buffers which isolate the sampling capacitor glitch noise from the external input circuitry. The analog inputs have a differential 100Ω split termination with internal biasing to VCM as illustrated in the representative input model in Figure 8-2. This can be changed to differential 200Ω termination via SPI register write.

The input fullscale is 2Vpp and the VCM is 1.4V; thus, the voltage on the analog inputs swing between 0.9V and 1.9V. The ADC inputs are reliably designed to support 1.9V for normal operation.

The device supports both AC and DC coupling of the analog inputs as shown in Figure 8-4 and Figure 8-5.

The input bandwidth (-3 dB) for internal 100Ω and 200Ω termination are shown in Figure 8-6.
