INPUT FILTERING AND SOURCE IMPEDANCE
AGND1
LTC1402
The noise and the distortion of the input amplifier and
other circuitry must be considered since they will add to
the LTC1402 noise and distortion. The small-signal band-
width of the sample-and-hold circuit is 80MHz. Any noise
ordistortionproductsthatarepresentattheanaloginputs
will be summed over this entire bandwidth. Noisy input
circuitry should be filtered prior to the analog inputs to
minimize noise. A simple 1-pole RC filter is sufficient for
many applications. For example, Figure 2 shows a 68pF
capacitor from AIN+ to ground and a 51Ω source resistor
to limit the input bandwidth to 47MHz. The 68pF capacitor
also acts as a charge reservoir for the input sample-and-
hold and isolates the ADC input from sampling glitch-
sensitive circuitry.

BIPOLAR AND UNIPOLAR INPUT RANGES
The ±2V bipolar input range of the LTC1402 is optimized
for low noise and low distortion. Most op amps also
perform best over this same range, allowing direct cou-
pling to the analog inputs and eliminating the need for
special translation circuitry. The inputs of the LTC1402
may also be driven fully differential in bipolar mode with
a single supply. Each input should not swing more than
2VP-P individuallytogetthebestperformancefromsingle
supply amplifiers.

Carbon surface mount resistors can generate distortion
from self heating and from damage that may occur during
soldering. Metal film surface mount resistors are much
The 0V to 4V range is ideal for single ended input use with
single supply applications.
