SLVSF29C October 2019 – August 2021 TPS8804
PRODUCTION DATA
The AMUX switch and buffer are used to connect the various TPS8804 amplifier outputs to a single ADC. The unity-gain amplifier improves the drive strength and fidelity of the analog signals when connected to an ADC. A 330 pF to 1 nF capacitor must be connected to the AMUX pin to stabilize its output. The 10-kΩ resistor filters high-frequency noise in the analog signal. Using a 10-kΩ resistor and 1-nF capacitor reduces noise levels in the photo amplifier signal. The buffer has the option of being bypassed to remove the added offset introduced by the unity-gain amplifier. Because the AMUX requires the bias block (see Section 7.3.8), bypassing the buffer does not eliminate the AMUX current consumption.
