8.3.9.1 Input Driver for the AUX Channel
For applications that use the AUX input channels at high throughput and high input frequency, a driving amplifier
with low output impedance is required to meet the ac performance of the internal 16-bit ADC. Some key
specifications of the input driving amplifier are discussed below:
•
Small-signal bandwidth.
The small-signal bandwidth of the input driving amplifier must be much higher than
the bandwidth of the AUX input to ensure that there is no attenuation of the input signal resulting from the
bandwidth limitation of the amplifier. In a typical data acquisition system, a low cut-off frequency, antialiasing
filter is used at the inputs of a high-resolution ADC. The amplifier driving the antialiasing filter must have a low
closed-loop output impedance for stability, which implies a higher gain bandwidth for the amplifier. Higher
small-signal bandwidth also minimizes the harmonic distortion at higher input frequencies. In general, the
amplifier bandwidth requirements can be calculated on the basis of
.
where:
•
f
–3dB
is the 3-dB bandwidth of the RC filter.
(1)
•
Distortion.
In order to achieve the distortion performance of the AUX channel, the distortion of the input driver
must be at least 10 dB lower than the specified distortion of the internal ADC, as shown in
