8.2.2.1 Input Signal Path

Depending on desired input signal frequency range the THS4551 and THS4541 provide good low power options to drive the ADC inputs. Table 8-3 provides a comparison between the THS4551 and THS4541 and the power consumption vs usable frequency trade off.

Table 8-3 Fully Differential Amplifier Options
DEVICECURRENT (IQ) PER CHANNELUSABLE FREQUENCY RANGE
THS45610.8mA< 3MHz
THS45511.4mA< 10MHz
THS454110mA< 70MHz

The low pass filter design (topology, filter order) is driven by the application itself. However, when designing the low pass filter, the optimum load impedance for the amplifier is taken into consideration as well. Between the low pass filter and the ADC input, the sampling glitch filter needs to be added as shown in Section 7.3.1.2.1. In this example, the DC - 30MHz glitch filter is selected.
