The common mode voltage range requirement of AD7674 and AD4003

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: AD7674

Hi, we are evaluating 18 bit, >500KSPS <2 INL ADCs. The signal we are sampling is current difference signals, with 100~120 uA common mode range and +- 50uA difference. We use two I to V amplifier AD8672 to convert Ia, Ib to Va, Vb.

1, We would like to know, is there any common mode voltage restrictions on Va and Vb for AD7674? can we directly connect Va, Vb to RC filters and AD7674?

2, If we are using AD4003 instead of AD7674, is ADC differential driver mandatory for sensing Va - Vb?

Thanks

  • Hi  ,

    I can answer about the AD4003.

    The AD4003 does require a common mode voltage of VREF/2 at its inputs at all times to operate properly. If VREF = 5V for example, then the common mode voltage has to be 2.5V.

    A fully differential amplifier is a relatively simple way to guarantee that requirement is met, since most have a VOCM pin that sets the DC offset of both +OUT and -OUT outputs. See ADA4945-1 for example.

    We also offer the ADAQ4003 which integrates a fully differential amplifier and 18-bit ADC. Data sheet specifications (including INL) apply to both the amplifier and the ADC.

    Thanks,

    Tyler
