ADS4449: Low frequency response

Part Number: ADS4449
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS42LB69,

Hi ADC Experts,

Need your help on our customer's query. They are looking to use the ADS4449 in an oscilloscope project. They want to know more about the ADC's transfer function and response at low to high frequencies (even at frequencies all the way down to 0Hz). The information needed is similar to the responses given on the SBAA220 app note, where the ADS42LB69, which they've previously considered shows a significant performance degradation at low frequencies.

We would just like to see if the ADS4449 employs a similar response to that of ADS42LBxx devices. This would also help us in comparing the necessary design compensations and adjustments on which would be more practical for the design.

Thank you very much in advance.


Kind Regards,

Jejomar

  • Jejomar,

    We are looking into this and will get back to you shortly.

  • Jejomar,

    The ADS42LBxx series has an analog input buffer which had a high gain (0.9) and low gain (0.1) path from buffer to sampler.

    The low gain path exhibited a high pass response with 3-dB cutoff at 190KHz.

     

    The ADS4449 doesn’t have analog buffer at input and its low frequency response is flat.

    It displays a low-pass RC type response – for 50ohms source impedance the 3-dB frequency of low-pass filter is located near 500MHz.
