Re: Driving ADC, please help

Hi Ramon,

You could use a basic inverting opamp config with the ADA4841-1

http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/tutorials/MT-213.pdf

Rin would be twice Rf. You could use 5V and ground as the supplies. However the limitations are you may lose some range near ground and near 5V (maybe 50-100mV depending on head/footroom spec). Also the input impedance is dictated by Rin, so not a high impedance input. Is the positive supply fixed at 12V?

Best Rgds,

Alan

  • David, Thanks. I don't have access to your paper but I have seen something similar at the input stage of AD7671.

    It uses four input pins (R, 2R, 4R, and 4R). For 0V-10V (and 2.5 Vref) both 4R's inputs are connected to Vin and both '2R & R' connected to ground.

    So voltage divider is 2R || (2R||R).

    According to datasheet R = 375 ohms.  (4R = 1500 ohms, 2R = 750 ohms)

    So input voltage of 10V is divided by four (750 ohms || 250 ohms) to give 2.5V (as Vref).

    The problem is that I am not sure how to configure the opamp. I need a single-supply opamp stable at 0.5 gain. Which configuration is better for stability? inverting or non-inverting? I don't need high speed (around 1Mhz input signal).
