  • Pin-to-pin compatibility with ADA4945-1 (vs ADA4945-1ACPZ-R2)
  • Optimized for PULSAR ADCs (vs Generic differential amplifiers)

Design Notes

For optimal performance, place decoupling capacitors (0.1 uF and 10 uF) close to the V+ and V- pins. Use a solid ground plane and minimize trace lengths for the differential outputs. The exposed pad (EP) should be soldered to the ground plane for thermal and electrical stability.

Keep the differential input and output traces symmetrical and closely coupled to minimize common-mode noise. Avoid routing high-speed digital signals near the amplifier. Use ground fills around the amplifier to reduce parasitic capacitance.

Do not drive a purely capacitive load directly, as it can cause ringing and instability due to bond wire inductance. Use a small series resistor (e.g., 10-50 ohms) if a capacitive load is unavoidable. Also, ensure the VOCM pin is properly driven to set the output common-mode voltage within the ADC's input range.
