ADC3541: Single End

Yuta Nishie

Part Number: ADC3541

Tool/software:

HI,

I think it is a differential input according to the data sheet, but is it possible to use it with Single End?

If it is possible to use it with Single End, could you tell me if the performance of the IC degrades or if there are any precautions in the circuit?

Best Regards,

Nishie

Hi Nishie,

Are you referring to using the analog inputs single-ended, instead of differential?

Please confirm.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob-san,

Your understanding is correct. I want to use a single-ended analog input.

Hi Nishie,

That is fine, you can do this.

Keep in mind that the converter may not be able to achieve fullscale and you will loose 6dB of dynamic range.

The unused pin will need a 0.1uF cap to ground and be tied to the VCM pin to hold the common mode voltage.

Regards,

Rob
