Figure 48. Ideal Transfer Characteristic
4.0 TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
A typical application of the ADC124S021 is shown in Figure 49. Power is provided in this example by the Texas
Instruments LP2950 low-dropout voltage regulator, available in a variety of fixed and adjustable output voltages.
The power supply pin is bypassed with a capacitor network located close to the ADC124S021.
Because the reference for the ADC124S021 is the supply voltage, any noise on the supply will degrade device
noise performance. To keep noise off the supply, use a dedicated linear regulator for this device, or provide
sufficient decoupling from other circuitry to keep noise off the ADC124S021 supply pin. Because of the
ADC124S021's low power requirements, it is also possible to use a precision reference as a power supply to
maximize performance. The four-wire interface is also shown connected to a microprocessor or DSP.

5.0 ANALOG INPUTS
An equivalent circuit for one of the ADC124S021's input channels is shown in Figure 5. Diodes D1 and D2
provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. At no time should any input go beyond (V
A
+ 300 mV) or (GND −
300 mV), as these ESD diodes will begin conducting, which could result in erratic operation. For this reason,
these ESD diodes should NOT be used to clamp the input signal.
