2.2.1
Input Signal Path
shows the signal path for the differential signal applied at the board inputs. The board input
impedance is 1-k
Ω
with 10-nF differential filtering that keeps noise in external cabling common. The
overall signal path bandwidth is limited to 160-kHz by the anti-aliasing filter formed from 1-k
Ω
resistor and
1-nF capacitor at the amplifier feedback. Finally, the two OPA625 operational amplifiers drive the
ADS8910B differential inputs with 2.2-
Ω
impedance up to 7-MHz that properly drives the low dynamic
impedance of the ADC inputs at 1-MSPS.

Input Common-Mode Jumper Configuration
The ADS8910BEVM board accommodates three external source common-mode options: 0 V, 2.5 V, and
floating with jumpers J1 and J2; see
.
J2 selects the OPA625 common-mode as 2.5 V (J2:OPEN) or 1.25 V (J2:CLOSED). J1 increases the
OPA625 common-mode by almost 100 mV to avoid amplifier output saturation with full-scale external
source signal amplitude. R1 is installed as 280 k
Ω
, allowing full-scale external source signals for external
source impedance (R
S
) between 0
Ω
and 32
Ω
, with 0-V common mode. R1 must be changed to
compensate for larger external source impedance (R
S
) values or for 2.5-V external source common-mode,
as explained in
