A back-to-back transformer scheme is used to improve
common-mode rejection, which keeps the common-mode
level of the input matched to VCM. The value of the shunt
resistor should be determined based on the desired load
impedance.
The sample and hold circuit design uses a switched
capacitor input stage, which creates current spikes when the
sampling capacitance is reconnected to the input voltage.
This creates a disturbance at the input which must settle
before the next sampling point. Lower source impedance will
result in faster settling and improved performance. Therefore
a 1:1 transformer and low shunt resistance are
recommended for optimal performance.
A differential amplifier can be used in applications that
require dc coupling. In this configuration the amplifier will
typically determine the achievable SNR and distortion. A
typical differential amplifier circuit is shown in Figure
25.Clock Input
The sample clock input circuit is a differential pair (see
Figure
29). Driving these inputs with a high level (up to
1.8VPP on each input) sine or square wave will provide the
lowest jitter performance.
The recommended drive circuit is shown in Figure
26. The
clock can be driven single-ended, but this will reduce the
edge rate and may impact SNR performance.
Use of the clock divider is optional. The KAD2710L's ADC
requires a clock with 50% duty cycle for optimum
performance. If such a clock is not available, one option is to
generate twice the desired sampling rate and use the
KAD2710L's divide-by-2 setting. This frequency divider uses
the rising edge of the clock, so 50% clock duty cycle is
assured. Table
2 describes the CLKDIV connection.
CLKDIV is internally pulled low, so a pull-up resistor or logic
driver must be connected for undivided clock.
Jitter
In a sampled data system, clock jitter directly impacts the
achievable SNR performance. The theoretical relationship
between clock jitter (tJ) and SNR is shown in Equation 1 and is illustrated in Figure
27.Where tJ is the RMS uncertainty in the sampling instant.
