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.

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.

power dissipation is the voltage between the supply pins (±V

well as currents flowing through the external feedback networks
and internal common-mode feedback loop. The internal
resistor tap used in the common-mode feedback loop places a
negligible differential load on the output. RMS voltages and
currents should be considered when dealing with ac signals.

Differential Voltage
Differential voltage refers to the difference between two node
voltages. For example, the differential output voltage (or
equivalently, output differential mode voltage) is defined as
V

where V
+OUT
and V
−OUT terminals with respect to a common reference.
Similarly, the differential input voltage is defined as
V
= (+DIN − (−DIN))

Common-Mode Voltage (CMV)
CMV refers to the average of two node voltages. The output
common-mode voltage is defined as
V

Balance
Balance is a measure of how well the differential signals are
matched in amplitude; the differential signals are exactly 180°
apart in phase. By this definition, the output balance is the
magnitude of the output common-mode voltage divided by
the magnitude of the output differential mode voltage.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are high speed, low power
differential amplifiers fabricated on Analog Devices advanced
dielectrically isolated SiGe bipolar process. They provide two
closely balanced differential outputs in response to either
differential or single-ended input signals. An external feedback
network that is similar to a voltage feedback operational
amplifier sets the differential gain. The output common-mode
voltage is independent of the input common-mode voltage and
is set by an external voltage at the V
terminal. The PNP
OCM
input stage allows input common-mode voltages between the
negative supply and 1.2 V below the positive supply. A rail-to-
rail output stage supplies a wide output voltage range.
DISABLE
The
pin can be used to reduce the supply current of
the amplifier to 13.5 µA.
Figure 62 shows the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2architecture.
The differential feedback loop consists of the differential trans-
conductance G
the R
feedback networks. The common-mode feedback
F/RG
working through the GO output buffers and
DIFF
loop is set up with a voltage divider across the two differential
outputs to create an output voltage midpoint and a common-
mode transconductance, G
CM
.
The differential feedback loop forces the voltages at +IN and −IN
to equal each other. This fact sets the following relationships:
Subtracting the previous equations gives the relationship that
shows RF and RG setting the differential gain.
(V
+OUT
− V
) = (+DIN – (−DIN)) ×

The common-mode feedback loop drives the output commonmode voltage that is sampled at the midpoint of the output
voltage divider to equal the voltage at V
. This results in the

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
ANALYZING AN APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 use open-loop gain and negative
feedback to force their differential and common-mode output
voltages in such a way as to minimize the differential and commonmode error voltages. The differential error voltage is defined as
the voltage between the differential inputs labeled +IN and −IN (see
Figure 61). For most purposes, this voltage can be assumed to be
zero. Similarly, the difference between the actual output commonmode voltage and the voltage applied to V
to be zero. Starting from these two assumptions, any application
circuit can be analyzed.

Even if the external feedback networks (RF/RG) are mismatched,
the internal common-mode feedback loop still forces the outputs
to remain balanced. The amplitudes of the signals at each output
remain equal and 180° out of phase. The input-to-output,
differential mode gain varies proportionately to the feedback
mismatch, but the output balance is unaffected.
As well as causing a noise contribution from V
, ratio-matching
OCM
errors in the external resistors result in a degradation of the ability
of the circuit to reject input common-mode signals, much the
same as for a four resistors difference amplifier made from a
conventional op amp.
In addition, if the dc levels of the input and output common-
mode voltages are different, matching errors result in a small
differential mode, output offset voltage. When G = 1, with a
ground-referenced input signal and the output common-mode
level set to 2.5 V, an output offset of as much as 25 mV (1% of
the difference in common-mode levels) can result if 1% tolerance
resistors are used. Resistors of 1% tolerance result in a worst-
case input CMRR of about 40 dB, a worst-case differential mode
output offset of 25 mV due to the 2.5 V level-shift, and no
significant degradation in output balance error.
CALCULATING THE INPUT IMPEDANCE OF AN
APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The effective input impedance of a circuit depends on whether
the amplifier is being driven by a single-ended or differential
signal source. For balanced differential input signals, as shown
in Figure 64, the input impedance (R
(+D
and −DIN) is simply R

= 2 × RG.
) between the inputs
IN, dm
= 1 kΩ (See Figure 64)
L
For an unbalanced, single-ended input signal (see Figure 65),
the input impedance is

Figure 65. ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 Configured for Unbalan ced (Single-Ended) In put
The input impedance of the circuit is effectively higher than it
would be for a conventional op amp connected as an inverter
because a fraction of the differential output voltage appears at
the inputs as a common-mode signal, partially bootstrapping
the voltage across the input resistor R

This section describes how to properly terminate a single-ended
input to the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 with a gain of 1, R
and R
= 1 kΩ. An example using an input source with a terminated
G
output voltage of 1 V p-p and source resistance of 50 Ω illustrates
the three steps that must be followed. Because the terminated
output voltage of the source is 1 V p-p, the open-circuit output
voltage of the source is 2 V p-p. The source shown in Figure 66
indicates this open-circuit voltage.

Figure 69 presents a tractable circuit with matched feedback

It is useful to point out two effects that occur with a terminated
input. The first is that the value of R
is increased in both loops,

lowering the overall closed-loop gain. The second is that V
is a little larger than 1 V p-p, as it would be if R
These two effects have opposite impacts on the output voltage,
and for large resistor values in the feedback loops (~1 kΩ), the
effects essentially cancel each other out. For small R
or high gains, however, the diminished closed-loop gain is not
cancelled completely by the increased V
. This can be seen by
TH
evaluating Figure 69.
The desired differential output in this example is 1 V p-p
because the terminated input signal was 1 V p-p and the
closed-loop gain = 1. The actual differential output voltage,
however, is equal to (1.02 V p-p)(1000/1025.5) = 0.996 V p-p.
This is within the tolerance of the resistors, so no change to
the feedback resistor, R
, is required.

INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE RANGE
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 input common-mode range is
shifted down by approximately 1 V
drivers with centered input ranges, such as the ADA4939-x. The
downward-shifted input common-mode range is especially
suited to dc-coupled, single-ended-to-differential, and singlesupply applications.
For ±2.5 V or +5 V supply operation, the input common-mode
range at the summing nodes of the amplifier is specified as −2.7 V
to +1.3 V or −0.2 V to 3.8 V, and is specified as −0.2 V to +1.8 V
with a +3 V supply.

INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITIVE AC COUPLING
Although the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 is best suited to dccoupled applications, it is nonetheless possible to use it in accoupled circuits. Input ac coupling capacitors can be inserted
between the source and R
of the dc common-mode feedback current and causes the
ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 dc input common-mode voltage to
equal the dc output common-mode voltage. These ac coupling
capacitors must be placed in both loops to keep the feedback
factors matched. Output ac coupling capacitors can be placed in
series between each output and its respective load.

DRIVING A CAPACITIVE LOAD
A purely capacitive load reacts with the bond wire and pin
inductance of the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2, resulting in high
frequency ringing in the transient response and loss of phase
margin. One way to minimize this effect is to place a resistor in
series with each output to buffer the load capacitance. The resistor
and load capacitance form a first-order, low-pass filter; therefore,
the resistor value should be as small as possible. In some cases,
the ADCs require small series resistors to be added on their inputs.
Figure 71 illustrates the capacitive load vs. the series resistance
required to maintain a minimum 45° of phase margin.

DRIVING A HIGH PRECISION ADC
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are ideally suited for broadband
dc-coupled applications. The circuit in Figure 73 shows a frontend connection for an ADA4940-1 driving an AD7982, which is
an 18-bit, 1 MSPS successive approximation, analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) that operates from a single power supply, 3 V
to 5 V. It contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit sampling
ADC and a versatile serial interface port. The reference voltage,
REF, is applied externally and can be set independent of the
supply voltage. As shown in Figure 73, the ADA4940-1 is dccoupled on the input and the output, which eliminates the need
for a transformer to drive the ADC. The amplifier performs a
single-ended-to-differential conversion if needed and level
shifts the input signal to match the input common mode of the
ADC. The ADA4940-1 is configured with a dual 7 V supply
(+6 V and −1 V) and a gain that is set by the ratio of the
feedback resistor to the gain resistor. In addition, the circuit
can be used in a single-ended-input-to-differential output or
differential-input-to-differential output configuration. If needed,
a termination resistor in parallel with the source input can be
used. Whether the input is a single-ended input or differential,
the input impedance of the amplifier can be calculated as shown in
the Terminating a Single-Ended Input section. If R1 = R2 = R3 =
R4 = 1 kΩ, the single-ended input impedance is approximately
1.33 kΩ, which, in parallel with a 52.3 Ω termination resistor,
provides a 50 Ω termination for the source. An additional 25.5 Ω
(1025.5 Ω total) at the inverting input balances the parallel
impedance of the 50 Ω source and the termination resistor driving
the noninverting input. However, if a differential source input is
used, the differential input impedance is 2 kΩ. In this case, two
52.3 Ω termination resistors are used to terminate the inputs.
In this example, the signal generator has a 10 V p-p symmetric,
ground-referenced bipolar output. The V

mode voltage of 2.5 V, each ADA4940-1 output swings between 0
V and 5 V, opposite in phase, providing a gain of 1 and a 10 V pp differential signal to the ADC input. The differential RC section
between the ADA4940-1 output and the ADC provides single-pole,
low-pass filtering with a corner frequency of 1.79 MHz and extra
buffering for the current spikes that are output from the ADC input
when its sample-and-hold (SHA) capacitors are discharged.
The total system power in Figure 73 is under 35 mW. A large
portion of that power is the current coming from supplies to the
output, which is set at 2.5 V, going back to the input through the
feedback and gain resistors. To reduce that power to 25 mW,
increase the value of the feedback and gain resistor from 1 kΩ
to 2 kΩ and set the value of the resistors R5 and R6 to 3 kΩ. The
ADR435 is used to regulate the +6 V supply to +5 V, which ends
up powering the ADC and setting the reference voltage for the
V
pin.

LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING
As a high speed device, the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 are
sensitive to the PCB environment in which they operate.
Realizing their superior performance requires attention to
the details of high speed PCB design.
ADA4940-1 LFCSP EXAMPLE
The first requirement is a solid ground plane that covers as
much of the board area around the ADA4940-1 as possible.
However, clear the area near the feedback resistors (R
resistors (R
), and the input summing nodes (Pin 2 and Pin 3)
G
of all ground and power planes (see Figure 74). Clearing the
ground and power planes minimizes any stray capacitance at
these nodes and prevents peaking of the response of the
amplifier at high frequencies.

), gain
F
Bypass the power supply pins as close to the device as possible
and directly to a nearby ground plane. Use high frequency ceramic
chip capacitors. Use two parallel bypass capacitors (1000 pF and
0.1 µF) for each supply. Place the 1000 pF capacitor closer to the
device. Further away, provide low frequency bypassing using
10 µF tantalum capacitors from each supply to ground.
Ensure that signal routing is short and direct to avoid parasitic
effects. Wherever complementary signals exist, provide a
symmetrical layout to maximize balanced performance. When
routing differential signals over a long distance, ensure that
PCB traces are close together, and twist any differential wiring
such that loop area is minimized. Doing this reduces radiated
energy and makes the circuit less susceptible to interference.
