GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are low noise, low distortion fully
differential amplifiers with very low power consumption. They
are an ideal choice for driving low power, high resolution, high
performance SAR and sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) with resolutions up to 16 bits from dc to
1 MHz on only 1.25 mA of quiescent current. The adjustable
level of the output common-mode voltage allows the ADA4940-1/
ADA4940-2 to match the input common-mode voltage of
multiple ADCs. The internal common-mode feedback loop
provides exceptional output balance, as well as suppression of
even-order harmonic distortion products.
With the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2, differential gain configurations
are easily realized with a simple external feedback network of
four resistors determining the closed-loop gain of the amplifier.
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are fabricated using Analog Devices,
Inc., SiGe complementary bipolar process, enabling them to
achieve very low levels of distortion with an input voltage noise
of only 3.9 nV/√Hz. The low dc offset and excellent dynamic
performance of the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 make them well
suited for a variety of data acquisition and signal processing
applications.

Figure 2. ADA4940-1 Driving the AD7982 ADC
The ADA4940-1 is available in a Pb-free, 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-lead
LFCSP, and an 8-lead SOIC. The ADA4940-2 is available in a Pb-
free, 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-lead LFCSP. The pinout is optimized to
facilitate printed circuit board (PCB) layout and minimize
distortion. The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are specified to
operate over the −40°C to +125°C temperature range.
