GENERAL DESCRIPTON
The AD8137 is manufactured on Analog Devices’ proprietary
second generation XFCB process, enabling it to achieve high
levels of performance with very low power consumption.
The AD8137 is a low cost differential driver with a rail-to-rail
output that is ideal for driving 12-bit ADCs in systems that are
sensitive to power and cost. The AD8137 is easy to apply, and its
internal common-mode feedback architecture allows its output
common-mode voltage to be controlled by the voltage applied
to one pin. The internal feedback loop also provides inherently
balanced outputs as well as suppression of even-order harmonic
distortion products. Fully differential and single-ended-to-
differential gain configurations are easily realized by the
AD8137. External feedback networks consisting of four resistors
determine the amplifier’s closed-loop gain. The power-down
feature is beneficial in critical low power applications.
The AD8137 is available in the small 8-lead SOIC package and
3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP. It is rated to operate over the extended
industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
