Description
The CS3301A is a low-noise differential input, differential output amplifier with programmable gain,
optimized for amplifying signals from low-impedance sensors such as geophones. The gain
settings are binary weighted (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16,
x32, x64) and are selected using simple pin settings. Two sets of external inputs, INA and INB,
simplify system design as inputs from a sensor and
test DAC. An internal 800 Ω termination can also be
selected for noise tests.
Amplifier noise performance is outstanding with a
noise density of 8.5 over the 0.1 Hz to
2 kHz bandwidth. Distortion performance is also extremely good, typically -121 dB THD at x1 gain. Flat
noise down to 0.1 Hz and low total harmonic distortion make this amplifier ideal for low-frequency,
low-amplitude, differential signals requiring maximum dynamic range.
Notes: 1. VA- must be the most negative voltage to avoid potential SCR latch-up conditions.
2. VD must conform to Digital Supply Differential under Absolute Maximum Ratings.

2.GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CS3301A
The CS3301A is a low-noise chopper-stabilized
CMOS differential input, differential output amplifier for precision analog signals between DC and
2 kHz. It has multiplexed inputs, rough / fine outputs and programmable gains of x1, x2, x4, x8,
x16, x32, and x64.
The amplifier’s performance makes it ideal for
low-frequency, high dynamic range applications
requiring low distortion and minimal power consumption. It’s optimized for use in acquisition systems designed around the CS5371A/72A
single/dual ∆Σ modulators and the CS5376A quad
digital filter or the CS5373A ∆Σ modulator and
CS5378 digital filter.
Figure 3 on page 9 shows the system architecture of
a 4-channel acquisition system using four
CS3301A, two CS5372A, one CS4373A, and one
CS5376A. Figure 4 on page 10 shows the system
architecture of a single channel acquisition system
using a CS3301A, CS5373A, and CS5378.
2.1Analog Signals
2.1.1Analog Inputs
The amplifier analog inputs are designed for differential sensors. Input multiplexing simplifies system connections by providing separate inputs for a
sensor and test DAC (INA, INB) as well as an internal termination for noise tests. The MUX0,
MUX1 digital pins determine which multiplexed
input is connected to the amplifier.
2.1.2Analog Outputs
The amplifier analog outputs are separated into
rough charge / fine charge signals to easily connect
to the CS5371A/72A/73A modulator inputs. Each
differential output requires two series resistors and
a differential capacitor to create the modulator antialias RC filter.

2.1.3Differential Signals
Analog signals into and out of the CS3301A are
differential, consisting of two halves with equal but
opposite magnitude varying about a common mode
voltage.
A full scale 5 Vpp differential signal centered on a
-0.15 V common mode can have:
SIG+ = -0.15 V + 1.25 V = 1.1 V
SIG- = -0.15 V - 1.25 V = -1.4 V
SIG+ is +2.5 V relative to SIG-
For the reverse case:
SIG+ = -0.15 V - 1.25 V = -1.4 V
SIG- = -0.15 V + 1.25 V = 1.1 V
SIG+ is -2.5 V relative to SIG-
The total swing for SIG+ relative to SIG- is
(+2.5 V) - (-2.5 V) = 5 V
. A similar calculation
pp
can be done for SIG- relative to SIG+. Note that a
5Vpp differential signal centered on a -0.15 V
common mode voltage never exceeds 1.1 V and
never drops below -1.4 V on either half of the signal.
By definition, differential voltages are to be measured with respect to the opposite half, not relative
to ground. A multimeter differentially measuring
between SIG+ and SIG- in this example would
properly read 1.767 V
, or 5 Vpp.
rms
2.2Digital Signals
2.2.1Clock Input
The clock signal is used by the chopperstabilization circuitry of the amplifier analog inputs. The CLK pin can be driven by an external
clock source for synchronous operation, or CLK
can be grounded to run from its own internally generated clock signal. The CLK pin is connected to a
clock detect circuit which will disable the internal
clock and use an external clock if one is supplied.
If the internal clock signal is to be used, the CLK
pin should be connected to GND.
2.2.2Gain Selection
The CS3301A supports gain ranges of x1, x2, x4,
x8, x16, x32, and x64. They are selected using the
GAIN0, GAIN1, and GAIN2 pins as shown in
Table 1 on page 7.
2.2.3Mux Selection
The analog inputs to the amplifier are multiplexed,
with external signals applied to the INA+, INA- or
INB+, INB- pins. An internal termination is also
available for noise tests. Input mux selection is
10DS757F1
CS3301A
made using the MUX0 and MUX1 pins as shown in
Table 1 on page 7.
Although a mux selection is provided to enable the
INA and INB switches simultaneously, signal current should not be driven through them in this
mode. The CS3301A mux switches will maintain
good linearity only with minimal signal currents.
2.2.4Power Down Selection
A power-down mode is available to shut down the
amplifier when not in use. When enabled, all internal circuitry is disabled, the analog inputs and outputs go high-impedance, and the device enters a
micro-power state. Power down mode is selected
using the PWDN pin, which is active high.
2.3Power Supplies
2.3.1Analog Power Supplies
The analog power pins of the CS3301A are specified to run from bipolar ±2.5 V power supplies.
When using bipolar power supplies, the analog signal common mode voltage should be biased to 0 V.
The analog power supplies are recommended to be
bypassed to system ground using 0.1 µF X7R type
capacitors.
The VA- supply is connected to the CMOS substrate and as such must remain the most negative
applied voltage. It is recommended to clamp the
VA- supply to system ground using a reversed biased Schottky diode to prevent possible damage related to mis-matched power supply initialization.
2.3.2Digital Power Supplies
The digital voltage across the VD and GND pins is
specified for a +3.3 V power supply. The digital
power supply should be bypassed to system ground
using a 0.01 µF X7R type capacitor.
