GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are low noise, low distortion fully
differential amplifiers with very low power consumption. They
are an ideal choice for driving low power, high resolution, high
performance SAR and sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) with resolutions up to 16 bits from dc to
1 MHz on only 1.25 mA of quiescent current. The adjustable
level of the output common-mode voltage allows the ADA4940-1/
ADA4940-2 to match the input common-mode voltage of
multiple ADCs. The internal common-mode feedback loop
provides exceptional output balance, as well as suppression of
even-order harmonic distortion products.
With the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2, differential gain
configurations are easily realized with a simple external feedback
network of four resistors determining the closed-loop gain of
the amplifier. The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are fabricated using
Analog Devices, Inc., SiGe complementary bipolar process,
enabling them to achieve very low levels of distortion with an
input voltage noise of only 3.9 nV/√Hz. The low dc offset and
excellent dynamic performance of the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2
make them well suited for a variety of data acquisition and signal
processing applications.
