7.2.1.1 Design Requirements

An oscilloscope is used to sample signals from millivolts to volts. To make the best use of the limited ADC input range, the oscilloscope input circuitry must have a wide gain range.

In this design example, the LMH6518 is driving an ADC12J2700 and has the following requirements:

  • Common mode voltage = 1.225-V
  • Full scale voltage = 650 mVPP to 800 mVPP
  • Bandwidth = 900-MHz
  • Trigger channel
  • Spurious free dynamic range = 50-dB
