Typical applications involving transformer-coupled circuits are discussed in this section. Transformers (such as ADT1-1WT or WBC1-1) may be used up to 250 MHz to achieve good phase and amplitude balances at ADC inputs. While designing the dc driving circuits, the ADC input impedance must be considered. Figure 195 and Figure 196 show the impedance (Zin = Rin || Cin) across the ADC input pins.
For optimum performance, the analog inputs must be driven differentially. An optional 5-Ω to 15-Ω resistor in series with each input pin may be kept to damp out ringing caused by package parasitic. The drive circuit may have to be designed to minimize the impact of kick-back noise generated by sampling switches opening and closing inside the ADC, as well as ensuring low insertion loss over the desired frequency range and matched impedance to the source.
A typical application involving using two back-to-back coupled transformers is shown in Figure 197. The circuit is optimized for low input frequencies. An external R-C-R filter using 50-Ω resistors and a 22-pF capacitor is used with the series inductor (39 nH), this combination helps absorb the sampling glitches. To improve phase and amplitude balance of first transformer, the termination resistors can be split between two transformers. For example, 25-Ω to 25-Ω termination across the secondary winding of the second transformer can be changed to 50-Ω to 50-Ω termination and another 50-Ω to 50-Ω resistor can be placed inside the dashed box between the transformers in Figure 197.
Figure 198 shows the performance obtained by using the circuit shown in Figure 197.
See the Design Requirements section for further details.
When input frequencies are between 100 MHz to 230 MHz, an R-LC-R circuit may be used to optimize performance, as shown in Figure 199.
Figure 200 shows the performance obtained by using the circuit shown in Figure 199.
See the Design Requirements section for further details.
For high input frequencies (> 230 MHz), using the R-C-R or R-LC-R circuit does not show significant improvement in performance. However, a series resistance of 10 Ω may be used as shown in Figure 201.
Figure 202 shows the performance obtained by using the circuit shown in Figure 201.
