    LTC2387-18 ADC Input Driver - Fully Differential Amp vs Two Unity Gain Buffers

    Q: How can I quickly check if there is a difference between using a fully differential amplifier vs two unity gain buffers as the ADC input drive circuit for the LTC2387-18? A: The Precision ADC…
  • FAQ

    My signal is smaller than the ADC’s input range. Should I gain up the signal to match the full input range?

    S et the signal chain gain so that the amplifiers' total noise is the same or a bit less than the ADC's. Any higher gain makes the ADC driver work harder without helping the system SNR. Don't feel…
