AD676
AD586 output, thereby optimizing the overall performance of
the AD676. It is recommended that a 10 F to 47 F high qual-
ity tantalum capacitor be tied between the V
AD676 and ground to minimize the impedance on the
reference.
Using the AD676 with 10 V input range (V
cally requires 15 V supplies to drive op amps and the voltage
reference. If 12 V is not available in the system, regulators
such as 78L12 and 79L12 can be used to provide power for the
AD676. This is also the recommended approach (for any input
range) when the ADC system is subjected to harsh environ-
ments such as where the power supplies are noisy and where
voltage spikes are present. Figure 7 shows an example of such a
system based upon the 10 V AD587 reference, which provides a
300 V LSB. Circuitry for additional protection against power
supply disturbances has been shown. A 100 F capacitor at each
regulator prevents very large voltage spikes from entering the
regulators. Any power line noise which the regulators cannot
eliminate will be further filtered by an RC filter (10 /10 F)
having a –3 dB point at 1.6 kHz. For best results the regulators
should be within a few centimeters of the AD676.
ANALOG INPUT
As previously discussed, the analog input voltage range for the
AD676 is V
mode rejection, the V
ground. V
(AGND), and V
(AGND SENSE) which allows a remote ground sense for the
input signal.

The AD676 analog inputs (V
hibit dynamic characteristics. When a conversion cycle begins,
each analog input is connected to an internal, discharged 50 pF
capacitor which then charges to the voltage present at the corre-
sponding pin. The capacitor is disconnected when SAMPLE is
taken LOW, and the stored charge is used in the subsequent
conversion. In order to limit the demands placed on the external
source by this high initial charging current, an internal buffer
amplifier is employed between the input and this capacitance for
a few hundred nanoseconds. During this time the input pin ex-
hibits typically 20 k input resistance, 10 pF input capacitance
and 40 A bias current. Next, the input is switched directly to
the now precharged capacitor and allowed to fully settle. During
this time the input sees only a 50 pF capacitor. Once the sample
is taken, the input is internally floated so that the external input
source sees a very high input resistance and a parasitic input ca-
pacitance of typically only 2 pF. As a result, the only dominant
input characteristic which must be considered is the high cur-
rent steps which occur when the internal buffers are switched in
and out.
In most cases, these characteristics require the use of an external
op amp to drive the input of the AD676. Care should he taken
with op amp selection; even with modest loading conditions,
most available op amps do not meet the low distortion require-
ments necessary to match the performance capabilities of the
AD676. Figure 8 represents a circuit, based upon the AD845,
recommended for low noise, low distortion ac applications.
For applications optimized more for low bias and low offset than
speed or bandwidth, the AD845 of Figure 8 may be replaced by
the OP27.
