PRODUCTION DATA
In order to meet the performance of a 16-bit, SAR ADC at the maximum sampling rate (1 MSPS), the capacitors at the input of the ADC must be successfully charged and discharged during the acquisition time window. The ADC inputs must settle to better than 16-bit accuracy before any sampled analog voltage is converted. This drive requirement at the ADC inputs necessitates the use of a high-bandwidth, low-noise, and stable amplifier buffer. The ADS8686S features an integrated input driver as part of the signal chain for each analog input, thus simplifying the signal chain design.
