10.1.4 Interfacing to High-Performance Precision ADCs
The THS4552 provides a simple interface to a wide variety of precision SAR and delta-sigma (ΔΣ) ADCs. To
deliver the exceptional distortion at the output pins, considerably wider bandwidth than what is typically required
in the signal path to the ADC inputs is provided by the THS4552. This wide amplifier bandwidth provides the low
broadband, closed-loop output impedance to supply the sampling glitches and to recover quickly for the best
SFDR. A particularly challenging task is to drive the high-frequency modulator sample rates for a precision ΔΣ
converter where the modulator frequency can be far higher than the final output data rate. Figure 78 shows a
tested example circuit using the THS4552 in a 500-kHz, active multiple feedback (MFB) filter driving the 24-bit
ADS127L01. This filter is designed for F_O = 500 kHz and Q = 0.63 to give a linear phase response with the –3-
dB frequency at 443 kHz. This example circuit is available as a TINA-TI™ simulation file.

Figure 78. 500-kHz Low-Pass Active Filter
This 3-V supply example provides a low-power interface to the very low-power ADC. This circuit is available on
the ADS127L01EVM board.
The 5-Ω resistors inside the loop at the output pins and the 1-nF differential capacitor across the FDA input pins
are not part of the filter design. These elements function to improve the loop-phase margin with minimal
interaction with the active filter operation To observe the loop gain and phase margin, use the SBOC461 TINA-
TI™ simulation file. Tested performance with the ADS127L01 at a 4-kHz input shows the exceptional THD and
SNR of –114 dBc and 106 dB, respectively. Figure 79 uses the ADS127L01 at a modulator frequency of 16 MHz.
