SINGLE-ENDED TO DIFFERENTIAL CONFIGURATION
(Transformer Coupled)
If the application requires a signal conversion from a single-
ended source to feed the ADS823 and ADS826 differentially,
a RF transformer might be a good solution. The selected
transformer must have a center tap in order to apply the
common-mode DC voltage necessary to bias the converter
inputs. AC grounding the center tap will generate the differ-
ential signal swing across the secondary winding. Consider
a step-up transformer to take advantage of a signal amplifi-
cation without the introduction of another noise source.
Furthermore, the reduced signal swing from the source may
lead to an improved distortion performance.
The differential input configuration may provide a noticeable
advantage of achieving good SFDR performance over a wide
range of input frequencies. In this mode, both inputs of the
ADS823 and ADS826 see matched impedances, and the
differential signal swing can be reduced to half of the swing
required for single-ended drive. Figure 5 shows the sche-
matic for the suggested transformer-coupled interface circuit.
The component values of the R-C low-pass may be opti-
mized depending on the desired roll-off frequency. The
resistor across the secondary side (R
T
) should be calculated
using the equation R

= n

to match the source
