Frequency domain applications cover a wide range of frequencies from low input frequencies at or near DC in the 1st Nyquist zone to under sampling in higher Nyquist zones. If low input frequency is supported, then the input has to be DC coupled and the ADC driven by a fully differential amplifier (FDA). If low frequency support is not needed, then AC coupling and use of a balun is more suitable.
The internal reference is used since DC precision is not needed. However, the ADC AC performance is dependent on the quality of the external clock source. If in-band interferes are present, then the ADC SFDR performance is a key care about. A higher ADC sampling rate is desirable to relax the external anti-aliasing filter. An internal decimation filter is used to reduce the digital output rate afterwards.

When designing the amplifier or filter driving circuit, the ADC input full-scale voltage needs to be considered. For example, the ADC3683-xEP input full-scale is 3.2Vpp. When factoring in approximately 1dB for insertion loss of the filter, then the amplifier needs to deliver close to 3.6Vpp. The amplifier distortion performance degrades with a larger output swing and considering the ADC common mode input voltage the amplifier may not be able to deliver the full swing. The ADC3683-xEP provides an output common mode voltage of 0.95V and the THS4541 for example can only swing within 250mV of the negative supply. A unipolar 3.3V amplifier power supply limits the maximum voltage swing to approximately 2.8Vpp. If a larger output swing is required (factoring in filter insertion loss), then a negative supply for the amplifier is needed to eliminate that limitation. Additionally, input voltage protection diodes are needed to protect the ADC from over-voltage events.
