Generating common mode voltage for AD779x

Hello,

I am asking advice in the following issue.

I want to sample the output of a ADA4530-1 ( TIA configuration ) with an AD7793 ADC.

Since I want to use the internal INA of the AD7793 I need to bias the input to shift it to an

acceptable common mode range.

So far I have used an THS4521 differential amplifier to generate a biased common voltage

signal but I was wondering if there is a better way to accomplish this _without_ the use of an extra opamp.

If a single-to-differential opamp is required, what would be the best choice for a precision, low bandwidth

part from ADI. ( ADA4941-1 ? )

Thank you very much!

  • Hi,

    There's a restriction on the analog input range and common mode voltage when the in-amp is active. This will really requires you an analog front end to ensure that the limits are not exceeded for correct operation and to avoid linearity performance. So if your input is around 10mV, the negative input should be bias to at least 1V to meet the common mode requirements.

    Would you like to consider using the AD7124, it has all the building blocks of the AD7793 with some advanced features. In AD7124, the common mode range must be between (AVSS − 0.05 + 0.5/gain) and (AVDD − 0.1 − 0.5/gain). The part can also accept a pseudo differential input so it can operate in a single ended application as it has a flexible MUX in which any analog of the analog input pins can be positive or negative input. So, in your application you can connect your single ended input to the one of the positive input and you can use the bias voltage midway between the analog power supply rails generated internally as your negative input. This generated bias voltage can be made available at any VBIAS pins and you can connect this to your selected negative input.

    Thanks,
