Part Number: ADC3421
Hello,
Could you please share the input impedance for the ADC3421?
Is the input impedance the same for the whole family of devices?
Thank you, Keith

Hello,
Could you please share more information on the absolute maximum ratings?
There is no input current spec in absolute maximum rating table in the datasheet.
What is the maximum input current rating for ADC3421 when input voltage is higher than 1.9V?
This will help us size an input resistor.
Wondering if this is related to internal ESD diode’s threshold voltage and maximum current.
Spice model of ADC3421 doesn’t include internal ESD diode model.
Thanks so much for your help. Keith
Hi Keith,
This is because the inputs vary over frequency. The resistance vs frequency is in the chart of the datasheet mentioned above.
Thanks, Chase
Hello,
This does not answer our question about ‘absolute maximum input current rating’ of ADC3421 like the table below for ADS131M0x ADC.
The datasheet of ADC3421 doesn’t have ‘absolute maximum input current’ spec like ADS131M0x ADC.
We are trying to protect ADC3421 from input overstress case like the attached your app note, sbaa506.


Thank you, Keith
Hi Keith,
We will have to check with the design team on what the abs max input current would be for this device.
Let me get back to you in a few days.
Thanks,
Rob
Hi Keith,
We just heard back from the design team on this. The absolute max input current for the input is +/- 15mA.
Thanks, Chase
