settling and improved performance. Therefore a 1:1
transformer and low shunt resistance are recom-
mended for optimal performance.
A differential amplifier, as shown in Figure 32, can be
used in applications that require dc-coupling. In this
configuration the amplifier will typically dominate the
achievable SNR and distortion performance.
Clock Input
The clock input circuit is a differential pair (see Figure
47). Driving these inputs with a high level (up to 1.8V
on each input) sine or square wave will provide the
lowest jitter performance. A transformer with 4:1 im-
pedance ratio will provide increased drive levels.
The recommended drive circuit is shown in Figure 33.
The clock can be driven single-ended, but this will
reduce the edge rate and may impact SNR perform-
ance. The clock inputs are internally self-biased to
AVDD/2 to facilitate ac coupling.
A selectable 2X divider is provided in series with the
clock input. The divider can be used in the 2X mode
with a sample clock equal to twice the desired sam-
ple rate. This will result in a clock input with 50% duty
cycle and will maximize the converter’s perform-
ance.

The clock divider can also be controlled through the
SPI port, which overrides the CLKDIV pin setting. De-
tails on this are contained in the Serial Peripheral In-
terface section.
Jitter
In a sampled data system, clock jitter directly im-
pacts the achievable SNR performance. The theoreti-
cal relationship between clock jitter (t
shown in Equation 1 and is illustrated in Figure 34.
This relationship shows the SNR that would be
achieved if clock jitter were the only non-ideal fac-
tor. In reality, achievable SNR is limited by internal
factors such as linearity, aperture jitter and thermal
noise. Internal aperture jitter is the uncertainty in the
sampling instant shown in Figure 1. The internal aper-
ture jitter combines with the input clock jitter in a root-
sum-square fashion, since they are not statistically
correlated, and this determines the total jitter in the
system. The total jitter, combined with other noise
sources, then determines the achievable SNR.
