Description

The ADA4941-1 is a low power, low noise differential driver foranalog-to-digital converters (ADCs) up to 18 bits in systemsthat are sensitive to power. The ADA4941-1 is configured in aneasy-to-use, single-ended-to-differential configuration andrequires no external components for a gain of 2 configuration.A resistive feedback network can be added to achieve gains greaterthan 2. The ADA4941-1 provides essential benefits, such as lowdistortion and high SNR that are required for driving highresolution ADCs.With a wide input voltage range (0 V to 3.9 V on a single 5 Vsupply), rail-to-rail output, high input impedance, and a user-adjustablegain, the ADA4941-1 is designed to drive single-supplyADCs with differential inputs found in a variety of low powerapplications, including battery-operated devices and singlesupplydata acquisition systems.The ADA4941-1 is ideal for driving the 16-bit and 18-bitPulSAR® ADCs, such as the AD7687, AD7690, and AD7691.The ADA4941-1 is manufactured on Analog Devices, Inc.,proprietary, second-generation, eXtra fast complementarybipolar (XFCB) process, which enables the amplifier to achieve18-bit performance on low supply currents.The ADA4941-1 is available in a small 8-lead LFCSP as well as astandard 8-lead SOIC and is rated to work over the extendedindustrial temperature range, −40°C to +125°C.
