AD7400
DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS
The analog input to the modulator is a switched capacitor
design. The analog signal is converted into charge by highly
linear sampling capacitors. A simplified equivalent circuit
diagram of the analog input is shown in Figure 23. A signal
source driving the analog input must be able to provide the
charge onto the sampling capacitors every half MCLKOUT cycle
and settle to the required accuracy within the next half cycle.
Because the AD7400 samples the differential voltage across its
analog inputs, low noise performance is attained with an input
circuit that provides low common-mode noise at each input.
The amplifiers used to drive the analog inputs play a critical role in
attaining the high performance available from the AD7400.

When a capacitive load is switched onto the output of an op
amp, the amplitude momentarily drops. The op amp tries to
correct the situation and, in the process, hits its slew rate limit.
This nonlinear response, which can cause excessive ringing, can
lead to distortion. To remedy the situation, a low-pass RC filter
can be connected between the amplifier and the input to the
AD7400. The external capacitor at each input aids in supplying
the current spikes created during the sampling process, and the
resistor isolates the op amp from the transient nature of the load.
The recommended circuit configuration for driving the differential
inputs to achieve best performance is shown in Figure 24. A
capacitor between the two input pins sources or sinks charge
to allow most of the charge that is needed by one input to be
effectively supplied by the other input. The series resistor again
isolates any op amp from the current spikes created during the
sampling process. Recommended values for the resistors and
capacitor are 22 Ω and 47 pF, respectively.
