AD826HIGH PERFORMANCE ADC BUFFER1k Figure 42 is a schematic of a 12-bit high speed analog-to-digital VS converter. The AD826 dual op amp takes a single ended input 0.1F and drives the AD872 A/D converter differentially, thus reduc- ing 2nd harmonic distortion. Figure 43 is a FFT of a 1 MHz 1k input, sampled at 10 MHz with a THD of –78 dB. The AD826 1/2VINA can be used to amplify low level signals so that the entire range AD82650 of the converter is used. The ability of the AD826 to perform on COAXCABLEV a ± 5 volt supply or even with a single 5 volts combined with its INAD872500mV12-BIT rapid settling time and ability to deliver high current to compli- p-p MAX52.510MSPSADC cated loads make it a very good flash A/D converter buffer as well as a very useful general purpose building block. 1/2VINBAD8261k0.1F5VVS100F 25VCOMMON–VS100F 25V1k–5V–VS Figure 42.
