Figure 8, the series inductors are impedance matching
elements that maximize the ADC bandwidth.
Reference Operation
Figure 9 shows the LTC2229 reference circuitry consisting
of a 1.5V bandgap reference, a difference amplifier and
switching and control circuit. The internal voltage refer-
ence can be configured for two pin selectable input ranges
of 2V (
±1Vdifferential)or1V(±0.5Vdifferential).Tyingthe
SENSE pin to VDD selects the 2V range; tying the SENSE
pin to VCM selects the 1V range.
Figure 5. Single-Ended Drive
Figure 5 shows a single-ended input circuit. The imped-
ance seen by the analog inputs should be matched. This
circuit is not recommended if low distortion is required.
The 25
resistorsand12pFcapacitorontheanaloginputs
serve two purposes: isolating the drive circuitry from the
sample-and-hold charging glitches and limiting the
wideband noise at the converter input.
For input frequencies above 70MHz, the input circuits of
Figure 6, 7 and 8 are recommended. The balun trans-
former gives better high frequency response than a flux
coupled center tapped transformer. The coupling capaci-
tors allow the analog inputs to be DC biased at 1.5V. In
