TLV320ADC3140: DC-coupled input mode with AC-coupled capacitor

Part Number: TLV320ADC3140

Hi,

I post the same question as to the related thread.

Is an AC coupled capacitor allowed on DC-coupled input mode as below?

Best Regards,

Kuramochi

  • Hi Kuramochi,

    Yes, this is allowable as there is still a weak internal bias even in DC coupled mode.  That said, this doesn't make sense as it suffers from the slight performance degradation of operating in DC coupled mode while actually being AC coupled.  They should use AC coupled mode.
