For higher input bandwidth applications, t
he AD8021 op amp
(also available as a dua
l AD8022 op amp) is the recommended
choice to drive the AD7484.
Figure 15 shows the analog input
circuit used to obtain the data for the FFT plot shown i
n Figure 4.A bipolar analog signal is applied to the terminal and biased
up with a stable, low noise dc voltage connected, as shown in
Figure 12. A 10 pF compensation capacitor is connected between
supplied with +12 V and 12 V supplies. The supply pins are
decoupled as close to the device as possible, with both a 0.1 F
and a 10 F capacitor connected to each pin. In each case, the
0.1 F capacitor should be the closer of the two caps to the
device. T
he AD8021 logic reference pin is tied to analog ground,

The output coding of the AD7484 is straight binary. The designed
code transitions occur midway between the successive integer
LSB values, that is, 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSB, and so on. The LSB size is
VREF/16,384. The nominal transfer characteristic for the AD7484 is
shown i

POWER SAVING
The AD7484 uses advanced design techniques to achieve very
low power dissipation at high throughput rates. In addition, the
AD7484 features two power saving modes, nap and standby.
These modes are selected by bringing either the NAP pin or the
STBY pin to a logic high, respectively.
When operating the AD7484 in normal fully powered mode,
the current consumption is 18 mA during conversion and the
quiescent current is 12 mA. Operating at a throughput rate of
1 MSPS, the conversion time of 300 ns contributes 27 mW to
the overall power dissipation.
(300 ns/1 μs) × (5 V × 18 mA) = 27 mW
For the remaining 700 ns of the cycle, the AD7484 dissipates
42 mW of power.
(700 ns/1 μs) × (5 V × 12 mA) = 42 mW
Therefore, the power dissipated during each cycle is
27 mW + 42 mW = 69 mW

normal mode.

Figure 17. Normal Mode Power Dissipation
In nap mode, almost all of the internal circuitry is powered down.
In this mode, the power dissipation is reduced to 2.5 mW. When
using an external reference, there must be a minimum of 300 ns
from exiting nap mode to initiating a conversion. This is necessary
to allow the internal circuitry to settle after power-up and for
the track-and-hold to properly acquire the analog input signal.
The internal reference cannot be used in conjunction with the
nap mode.
If the AD7484 is put into nap mode after each conversion, the
average power dissipation is reduced, but the throughput rate is
limited by the power-up time. Using the AD7484 with a through-
put rate of 500 kSPS while placing the part in nap mode after
each conversion results in average power dissipation as follows:
The power-up phase contributes
(300 ns/2 μs) × (5 V × 12 mA) = 9 mW
The conversion phase contributes
(300 ns/2 μs) × (5 V × 18 mA) = 13.5 mW
While in nap mode for the rest of the cycle, the AD7484
dissipates only 1.75 mW of power.
(1400 ns/2 μs) × (5 V × 0.5 mA) = 1.75 mW
Therefore, the power dissipated during each cycle is
9 mW + 13.5 mW + 1.75 mW = 24.25 mW
