Key Features
- 75 dB common-mode rejection ratio suppresses noise and interference at the ADC differential input for accurate conversions
- 18 µA maximum bias current and 4000 µV offset voltage enable precision signal conditioning in data acquisition front-ends
- Voltage-feedback architecture with internal frequency compensation simplifies gain setting and bandwidth management for 12-bit to 18-bit ADC drivers
Applications
ADA4938-1ACPZ-R2 is designed for driving the differential inputs of high-speed ADCs in test and measurement, medical imaging, and communications infrastructure equipment. Its ultralow distortion and 75dB CMRR make it ideal for conditioning single-ended signals into differential form at the ADC front-end, maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio in 12-bit to 18-bit conversion stages. The 16-pad QFN package supports compact PCB layouts in data acquisition modules and software-defined radio receivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What CMRR specification does ADA4938-1ACPZ-R2 achieve, and how does that benefit differential ADC input signal conditioning?
ADA4938-1ACPZ-R2 achieves a nominal 75 dB common-mode rejection ratio, attenuating common-mode noise such as power supply ripple and ground interference by over 5600-fold. This preserves signal integrity when converting a single-ended analog source to a differential 0V to 2.5V swing matched to a 16-bit ADC input range.
How does the 18 µA maximum bias current of ADA4938-1ACPZ-R2 affect source impedance matching at the amplifier input?
With an 18 µA maximum input bias current, ADA4938-1ACPZ-R2 introduces less than 1.8 mV of error across a 100Ω source impedance. For ADC drivers upstream of precision SAR or delta-sigma converters, this low bias current allows source resistors of up to 1 kΩ without significant gain error in the signal chain.
Why is ADA4938-1ACPZ-R2 preferred over a single-ended op-amp as an ADC driver for a high-resolution data acquisition system?
ADA4938-1ACPZ-R2 directly generates a balanced differential output matched to a high-resolution ADC's 2-wire differential input, removing the need for a separate balun or transformer. The 75 dB CMRR rejects the ground-plane noise that degrades a single-ended driver by as much as 10 bits at 16-bit ADC resolution, and the ultralow distortion maintains THD below -90 dBc at signal frequencies up to 10 MHz.
How does the 16-pad QFN package of ADA4938-1ACPZ-R2 support compact layout near a high-speed ADC on a multilayer PCB?
The CP-16-21 QFN package measures approximately 3 mm x 3 mm, allowing ADA4938-1ACPZ-R2 to be placed within 5 mm of the ADC differential input pins. This short trace length minimizes parasitic inductance at the differential inputs, keeping the ADC settling error below half an LSB at 100 MSPS conversion rates.
