Hi Doug,
There are several questions need you help.
1. There are two blocks between ADA4930 and AD9633, which need me to make choice: one is the mach resistor, the DEV kit used 24 ohm, our previous board used 50 ohm, there is no match resistor in figure 60 of ADA4930 datasheet, however 33ohm in figure 59; aonther is the RLC filter, is this necessary for my application? And will the inductance destroy the DC coupling fucntion?
2. The input common-mode voltage range should be 0.3~2.8V. But, i found this parameter has different range in Chinese version datasheet, where is 0.3~1.2V. Also, there is same issue about output voltage range.
3. The DEV kit schamatic of the ADA4930 is same as figure 55 of the datasheet, so the ADA4930 was configured as G=1 and input 2Vpp, output also 2Vpp. My system, the front signal is 1Vpp, so i should refer to figure 60, am i right? Which convert the input 1Vpp to differential 2Vpp.
4, In dev kit, use Rcm(1.82K) pull-up to +3.3V. There also have several pull-down resistors. Can i remove these pull-down resistor in my design?
5. Can you teach me how to calculate each node's voltage based on figure 60 of ADA4930 datasheet? For, datasheet said "For a common-mode voltage of 1 V, each ADA4930-2 output swings between 0.501 V and 1.498 V, providing a 1.994 V p-p differential output. " I can understand how to get 1994 V p-p, but i don't know how to get 0.501 V and 1.498 V.
6. Is the VCM pin of AD9633 a output pin? Which will provide output common voltage to ADA4930's Vocm pins. How to set VCM's output voltage value? Does VCM's value equal to VREF's value? Vref=1V.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Doug,
If VCM has fixed 900mV output, it seems 1.8V ADI ADCs VCM would have fixed 900mV output. So AD9255 should also has its VCM outputing fixed 900mV. However, why ADA4930's datasheed says:"The VOCM pin is connected to the VCM output of the AD9255 and sets the output common mode of the ADA4930-1 at 1 V."?
BTW,
1. Did you creat different post for other questions?
2. I drawn the schematic for my application. Can you find some time to help checking it? I attached it here. I drawn it by refering figure 60 of ADA4930 datasheet. Sof if the VCM is 900mV, i must re-calculate and modify all impedence resistor's value, for figure 60 of ADA4930 datasheet based on 1000mV common mode voltage.
3.SENSE connects GND will make AD9633 selecting internal 1V reference. How to understand "INT 1V SPAN 3-4" and "INT 2V SPAN 3-5"? I think 3-5 means SENSE connects to GND, then select internal 1V VREF and result differential span at 2V. 3-4 will make ADC selecting internal 1V VREF and result differential span at 1V. Am i right?
Hi Coyoo,
Regarding Question 6, yes VCM is an output pin of AD9633. This provides the voltage for ADA4930's Vocm pin. VCM's value is fixed at 0.9V nominal at no load.
The other questions are more about the amplifier than the ADC. I'll request that this thread be moved to the amplifier section.
Thank you.
Doug
Hi Coyoo,
If you do not already know about this, the Diff Amp Calculator tool is very helpful ( http://www.analog.com/en/design-center/interactive-design-tools/adi-diffampcalc.html ).
I often use this for playing with ADI amplifier configurations.
Thank you.

Hi Doug,
It seems that there is no model like figure 60 of ADA4930 datasheet in Calculator.
BTW, ADA4930 says "the value of RG must be greater than or equal to 301 Ω at unity gain to provide sufficient damping in the amplifier front end. " The RF is 301 Ω and the gain is 2 in figure 60. Is it means that RG can be blow 301 when gain bigger than 1?
Hi Coyoo,
The recommended value of RF for ADA4930 is 301 ohms. So for gains greater than unity, RG must be set <301 ohms. See table 12 and 13 for further details in resistor combinations for both differential and single-ended configs. Other items asked here will be answered in this thread Questions: When ADA4930 driving AD9633.
Regards.
Hi Coyoo,
Kindly refer on this thread for other information since this will be treated as duplicate thread. Questions: When ADA4930 driving AD9633.
Regards.
Hi Coyoo,
Diff-Amp Calculator can represent Figure 60 in the ADA4930 datasheet but you must do a little arithmetic to convert the input resistor combinations to their lumped equivalent.
Regarding if RG can be below 301Ohms with gain larger than 1, I believe this is true but we should get confirmation from the amplifier engineer.
Thank you.
Doug
Hi Coyoo,
I've moved your ADA4930 questions to the ADC Drivers discussion. I hope you can get additional information here.
Thanks,
Doug
