Analog Input Configuration SummaryInputInputInput Range (V)FigureConnectionCouplingSpan (V)VINA1VINB1#Comments Single-Ended DC 2 0 to 2 1 32, 33 Best for stepped input response applications, suboptimum THD and noise performance, requires ± 5 V op amp. 2 × VREF 0 to VREF 32, 33 Same as above but with improved noise performance due to 2 × VREF increase in dynamic range. Headroom/settling time requirements of ± 5 V op amp should be evaluated. 5 0 to 5 2.5 32, 33 Optimum noise performance, excellent THD performance. Requires op amp with VCC > +5 V due to insufficient headroom @ 5 V. 2 × VREF 2.5 – VREF 2.5 39 Optimum THD performance with VREF = 1, noise performance to improves while THD performance degrades as VREF increases 2.5 + VREF to 2.5 V. Single supply operation (i.e., +5 V) for many op amps. Single-Ended AC 2 or 0 to 1 or 1 or VREF 34 Suboptimum ac performance due to input common-mode level 2 × VREF 0 to 2 × VREF not biased at optimum midsupply level (i.e., 2.5 V). 5 0 to 5 2.5 34 Optimum noise performance, excellent THD performance. 2 × VREF 2.5 – VREF 2.5 35 Flexible input range, Optimum THD performance with VREF = 1. to Noise performance improves while THD performance degrades as 2.5 + VREF VREF increases to 2.5 V. Differential AC or 2 2 to 3 3 to 2 29–31 Optimum full-scale THD and SFDR performance well beyond the DC A/Ds Nyquist frequency. 2 × VREF 2.5 – VREF/2 2.5 + VREF/2 29–31 Same as 2 V to 3 V input range with the exception that full-scale to to THD and SFDR performance can be traded off for better noise 2.5 + VREF/2 2.5 – VREF/2 performance. 5 1.25 to 3.75 3.75 to 1.25 29–31 Widest dynamic range (i.e., ENOBs) due to optimum noise performance. 1VINA and VINB can be interchanged if signal inversion is required.
