GENERAL DESCRIPTION

–V OR GROUND.
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are low noise, low distortion fully
differential amplifiers with very low power consumption. They
are an ideal choice for driving low power, high resolution, high
performance SAR and Σ-Δ analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)
with resolutions up to 16 bits from dc to 1 MHz on only 1.25 mA
of quiescent current. The adjustable level of the output common-
mode voltage allows the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 to match the
input common-mode voltage of multiple ADCs. The internal
common-mode feedback loop provides exceptional output balance,
as well as suppression of even-order harmonic distortion products.

The ADA4940-1 is available in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-lead LFCSP
and an 8-lead SOIC. The ADA4940-2 is available in a 4 mm ×
4 mm, 24-lead LFCSP. The pinouts are optimized to facilitate
printed circuit board (PCB) layout and minimize distortion.
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are specified to operate over the
−40°C to +125°C temperature range.

With the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2, differential gain configurations
are easily realized with a simple external feedback network of
four resistors determining the closed-loop gain of the amplifier.
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are fabricated using Analog Devices,
Inc., SiGe complementary bipolar process, enabling them to
achieve very low levels of distortion with an input voltage noise
of only 3.9 nV/√Hz. e low dc offset and excellent dynamic
performance of the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 make them well
suited for a variety of data acquisition and signal processing
applications.
