Transformer-Coupled Differential Analog Input
The MAX19515 provides better SFDR and THD with
fully differential input signals than a single-ended input
drive. In differential input mode, even-order harmonics
are lower as both inputs are balanced, and each of the
ADC inputs only require half the signal swing compared
to single-ended input mode.
An RF transformer (Figure 18) provides an excellent
solution for converting a single-ended signal to a fully
differential signal. Connecting the center tap of the
transformer to CM_ provides a common-mode voltage.
The transformer shown has an impedance ratio of 1:1.4.
Alternatively, a different step-up transformer can be
selected to reduce the drive requirements. A reduced
signal swing from the input driver can also improve the
overall distortion. The configuration of Figure 18 is good
for frequencies up to Nyquist (f
CLK
/2).
