GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8284 is an integrated analog front end designed for low
cost, compact size, flexibility, and ease of use. It contains a
4-channel differential multiplexer (mux), a 1-channel low noise
preamplifier (LNA) with a programmable gain amplifier (PGA)
and an antialiasing filter (AAF), as well as one direct-to-ADC
channel, all integrated with a single, 12-bit analog-to-digital
converter (ADC). The AD8284 also incorporates a saturation
detection circuit for high frequency overvoltage conditions that
would otherwise be filtered by the AAF.
for dynamic performance and low power in applications where
a small package size is critical.
Fabricated in an advanced CMOS process, the AD8284 is available
in a 10 mm × 10 mm, RoHS compliant, 64-lead TQFP. It is speci-
fied over the automotive temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.

4-Channel LNA/PGA/AAF, pseudosimultaneous
channel sampling with ADC
The analog channel features a gain range of 17 dB to 35 dB in
6 dB increments, and an ADC with a conversion rate of up to
60 MSPS. The combined input referred voltage noise of the entire
channel is 3.5 nV/√Hz at maximum gain. The channel is optimized
