External reference and common mode
Each of the voltages VREFP and INCM can be
fixed externally to better fit to the application
needs
(Refer
to
table
íOPERATING
CONDITIONSí page 4 for min/max values).
The VREFP, VREFM voltages set the analog
dynamic at the input of the converter that has a full
scale amplitude of 2*(VREFP-VREFM). Using
internal references, the dynamic range is 1.8V.
The INCM is the mid voltage of the analog input
signal.
It is possible to use an external reference voltage
device for specific applications requiring even
better
linearity,
accuracy
or
enhanced
temperature behavior.
Using
the
STMicroelectronics
TS821
or
TS4041-1.2 Vref leads to optimum performances
when configured as shown on Figure 2.

DRIVING THE DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG
INPUTS
The TSA1005 has been designed to obtain
optimum performances when being differentially
driven. An RF transformer is a good way to
achieve such performances.
Figure 3 describes the schematics. The input
signal is fed to the primary of the transformer,
while the secondary drives both ADC inputs. The
common mode voltage of the ADC (INCM) is
connected to the center-tap of the secondary of
the transformer in order to bias the input signal
around this common voltage, internally set to
0.46V. It determines the DC component of the
analog signal. As being an high impedance input,
it acts as an I/O and can be externally driven to
adjust
this
DC
component.
The
INCM
is
decoupled to maintain a low noise level on this
node. Our evaluation board is mounted with a 1:1
ADT1-1WT transformer from Minicircuits. You
might also use a higher impedance ratio (1:2 or
1:4) to reduce the driving requirement on the
analog signal source.
Each analog input can drive a 1.4Vpp amplitude
input signal, so the resultant differential amplitude
is 2.8Vpp.

transformer
Figure 4 represents the biasing of a differential
input signal in AC-coupled differential input
configuration. Both inputs VIN and VINB are
centered around the common mode voltage, that
can be let internal or fixed externally.
