Data Sheet
Figure 47 shows a frequency sweep of this filter. The response is
down 3 dB at 5.7 MHz; therefore, it passes the video band with
little attenuation. The rejection at 27 MHz is 42 dB, which
provides more than a factor of 100 in suppression of the clock
components at this frequency.

DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL DRIVER
As system supply voltages are dropping, many ADCs provide
differential analog inputs to increase the dynamic range of the
input signal while still operating on a low supply voltage.
Differential driving can also reduce second and other even-
order distortion products.
Analog Devices, Inc., offers an assortment of 12- and 14-bit
high speed converters that have differential inputs and can be
operate over a range of common-mode voltages at their analog
inputs, they work best when the common-mode voltage at the
input is at the midsupply or 2.5 V.
Op amp architectures that require upwards of 2 V of headroom
at the output have significant problems when trying to drive
such ADCs while operating with a 5 V positive supply. The low
them ideal for driving these types of ADCs.
Th
e AD8058 can be used to make a dc-coupled, single-ended-
to-differential driver for one of these ADCs.
Figure 48 is a
schematic of such a circuit for driving an
AD9225, 12-bit,
25 MSPS ADC.

Figure 48. Schematic Circuit for Drivin
g AD9225In this circuit, one of the op amps is configured in the inverting
mode whereas the other is in the noninverting mode. However,
to provide better bandwidth matching, each op amp is configured
for a noise gain of +2. The inverting op amp is configured for a
gain of 1 and the noninverting op amp is configured for a gain
of +2. Each of these produces a noise gain of +2, which is deter-
mined only by the inverse of the feedback ratio. The input signal to
the noninverting op amp is divided by two to normalize its level
and make it equal to the inverting output.
For 0 V input, the outputs of the op amps want to be at 2.5 V,
which is the midsupply level of the ADCs. This is accomplished by
first taking the 2.5 V reference output of the ADC and dividing it
by two by a pair of 1 k resistors. The resulting 1.25 V is applied to
the positive input of each op amp. This voltage is then multiplied by
the gain of +2 of the op amps to provide a 2.5 V level at each output.
The assumption for this circuit is that the input signal is bipolar
with respect to ground and the circuit must be dc-coupled thereby
implying the existence of a negative supply elsewhere in the system.
This circuit uses 5 V as the negative supply for th
e AD8058.Tying the negative supply of the
AD8058 to ground causes a
problem at the input of the noninverting op amp. The input
common-mode voltage can only go to within 1 V of the negative
rail. Because this circuit requires that the positive inputs operate
with a 1.25 V bias, there is not enough room to swing this voltage
in the negative direction. The inverting stage does not have this
problem because its common-mode input voltage remains fixed
at 1.25 V. If dc coupling is not required, various ac coupling
techniques can be used to eliminate this problem.
LAYOUT
board layout that follows standard high speed design rules. Make
all signal traces as short and direct as possible. In particular, keep
the parasitic capacitance on the inverting input of each device
to a minimum to avoid excessive peaking and other undesirable
performance. Bypass the power supplies very close to the power pins
of the package with a 0.1 F capacitor in parallel with a larger
(approximately 10 F) tantalum capacitor. Connect these capacitors
to a ground plane that either is on an inner layer or fills the area
of the board that is not used for other signals.
