Application Information

The two primary circuits required to maximize the performance of a high-precision, successive approximation register (SAR), analog-to-digital converter (ADC) are the input driver and the reference driver circuits. This section details some general principles for designing these circuits, and some application circuits designed using these devices.

The device supports operation either with an internal or external reference source. See the Section 7.3.1 section for details about the decoupling requirements.

The reference source to the ADC must provide low-drift and very accurate dc voltage and support the dynamic charge requirements without affecting the noise and linearity performance of the device. The output broadband noise (typically in the order of a few 100 μVRMS) of the reference source must be appropriately filtered by using a low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of a few hundred hertz. After band-limiting the noise from the reference source, the next important step is to design a reference buffer that can drive the dynamic load posed by the reference input of the ADC. At the start of each conversion, the reference buffer must regulate the voltage of the reference pin within 1 LSB of the intended value. This condition necessitates the use of a large filter capacitor at the reference pin of the ADC. The amplifier selected to drive the reference input pin must be stable while driving this large capacitor and must have low output impedance, low offset, and temperature drift specifications. To reduce the dynamic current requirements and crosstalk between the channels, a separate reference buffer is recommended for driving the reference input of each ADC channel.

The input driver circuit for a high-precision ADC mainly consists of two parts: a driving amplifier and a fly-wheel RC filter. The amplifier is used for signal conditioning of the input voltage and its low output impedance provides a buffer between the signal source and the switched capacitor inputs of the ADC. The RC filter helps attenuate the sampling charge injection from the switched-capacitor input stage of the ADC and functions as an charge kickback filter to band-limit the wideband noise contributed by the front-end circuit. Careful design of the front-end circuit is critical to meet the linearity and noise performance of a high-precision ADC.
