7.4.3 Digital Channel Averaging

The ADC3683-xEP includes a digital channel averaging feature which enables improvement of the ADC dynamic range (see Figure 7-48). The same input signal is given to both ADC inputs externally and the output of the two ADCs is averaged internally. By averaging, uncorrelated noise (that is, ADC thermal noise) improves 3dB while correlated noise (that is, jitter in the clock path, reference noise) is unaffected. Therefore, the averaging gives close to 3dB improvement at low input frequencies but less at high input frequencies where clock jitter dominates the SNR.

The output from the digital averaging block is given out on the digital outputs of channel A or alternatively is routed to the digital decimation filters using the digital mux.
