APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Amplifier Circuits
Figure 7 shows the analog input being driven by a high
speed differential amplifier. The output of the amplifier is
AC-coupled to the A/D so the amplifier’s output common
mode voltage can be optimally set to minimize distortion.
See back page for a DC-coupled example.

Frequencies from 70MHz to 170MHz
At very high frequencies an RF gain block will often have
lower distortion than a differential amplifier. If the gain
block is single-ended, then a transformer circuit (Figures4
to 6) should convert the signal to differential before driv-
ing the A/D.
