PRODUCTION DATA.
The OPAx837 provides excellent performance when driving high-performance delta-sigma (ΔΣ) or successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADCs in low-power audio and industrial applications.
Figure 82 repeats the front page diagram. Many designs prefer to work with a true 0-V input range to 0-V output at the ADC. The 100-mV output headroom requirement for the OPAx837 then requires a small negative supply to hold the output linearity to ground. This supply is provided in this example using the low-cost LM7705 fixed negative, –0.23-V output regulator. On a 5-V supply, the input headroom requires at least a 1.2-V headroom to that supply. As shown in Figure 82, this requirement limits the maximum input to 3.8 V. The SAR operates with a precision 4.096-V reference provided by the REF5040, where the gain of 1.05 V/V takes the 3.8-V maximum input to a 4.0-V maximum output. The RC values have been set to limit the overshoot at the OPAx837 output pin to reduce clipping on fast (50 ns) transitions.
