The analog output from the EVM is a fully-differential signal centered at 1.44 V. Figure 2-2 shows that the differential output of U1 is available on the two screw terminals of J4. OUTP is available at J4.3 and swings from 0.5 V to 2.5 V when a –250-mV to 250-mV signal is applied to the input of the AMC1400 or from 1.44 V to 2.5 V when a 0-V to 2-V signal is applied to the input of the AMC1411. OUTN is available at J4.2 and swings from 2.5 V to 0.5 V when a –250-mV to 250-mV signal is applied to the input of the AMC1400 or from 1.44 V to 0.5 V when a 0-V to 2-V signal is applied to the input of the AMC1411. The pads of R2, R4, C9, C7, and C12 allow users to install their own output filtering. Table 2-1 lists a few example filters. Common-mode filter capacitors C7 and C12 are recommended to be at least 20 times less than the differential filter capacitor.
Cutoff Frequency | Resistance | Differential Capacitor |
---|---|---|
100 kHz | R2 = R4 = 100 Ω | C9 = 8.2 nF |
300 kHz | R2 = R4 = 100 Ω | C9 = 2.7 nF |
600 kHz | R2 = R4 = 100 Ω | C9 = 1.3 nF |
Use the differential output if the application allows. If a single-ended output is desired, consult the Interfacing a Differential-Output (Isolated) Amplifier to a Single-Ended Input ADC application brief for help with designing the differential to single-ended circuit.
