Each ADC channel in the ADS9227 features an integrated, high-speed ADC driver amplifier. This internal driver circuit is specifically designed to charge the internal sample-and-hold capacitor in each ADC channel such that the sampled voltage is fully settled during the minimum acquisition period. In addition, the driver amplifiers present a high input impedance to the external signal chain. This allows systems engineers to design an analog input circuit that meets the requirements of the application without also being concerned with performance degradation due to charge-kickback during sampling.
The ADS9227EVM presents two unique signal chain proposals for the user to evaluate: a high-bandwidth, fully-differential circuit that supports input frequencies up to 1MHz and a low-bandwidth, high-CMRR circuit with programmable gain that supports input frequencies up to 300kHz. Either circuit can be used to drive ADC A and ADC B since the channels are identical by design in the ADS9227.
