TYPICAL INTERFACE CIRCUIT
Very few external components are required to achieve the
stated device performance. Figure 3 shows the typical
interface requirements when using the SPT7721 in normal
circuit operation. The following sections provide descrip-
tions of the major functions and outline performance
criteria to consider for achieving the optimal device
performance.
ANALOG INPUT
The input of the SPT7721 can be configured in various
ways depending on whether a single-ended or differential
input is desired.
The AC-coupled input is most conveniently implemented
using a transformer with a center-tapped secondary wind-
ing. The center tap is connected to the V
CM
pin as shown in
figure 3. To obtain low distortion, it is important that the
selected transformer does not exhibit core saturation at
the full-scale voltage. Proper termination of the input is im-
portant for input signal purity. A small capacitor across the
input attenuates kickback noise from the internal track-
and-hold.
Figure 4 illustrates a solution (based on operational ampli-
fiers) that can be used if a DC-coupled single-ended input
is desired. It is very important to select op amps with a high
open-loop gain, a bandwidth high enough so as not to im-
pair the performance of the ADC, low THD, and high SNR.

INPUT PROTECTION
All I/O pads are protected with an on-chip protection
circuit. This circuit provides ESD robustness and prevents
latchup under severe discharge conditions without
degrading analog transmission times.
POWER SUPPLIES AND GROUNDING
The SPT7721 is operated from a single power supply in
the range of 4.75 to 5.25 volts. Normal operation is sug-
gested to be 5.0 volts. All power supply pins should be by-
passed as close to the package as possible. The analog
and digital grounds should be connected together with a
ferrite bead as shown in the typical interface circuit and as
close to the ADC as possible.
