  • Output limiting feature (vs THS4505)
  • Two selectable power modes (vs AD8139ACPZ)

Design Notes

For optimal performance, place the ADA4945-1ACPZ close to the ADC it drives to minimize trace length and parasitic capacitance. Use a solid ground plane and ensure proper decoupling of the power supply pins with 0.1 Β΅F and 10 Β΅F capacitors. The exposed pad on the LFCSP package should be soldered to the PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.

The ADA4945-1ACPZ operates over a 3 V to 10 V supply range. Ensure that the supply voltage is within this range and that the power supply is well-regulated and low-noise. The two power modes allow trade-offs between bandwidth and power consumption; select the appropriate mode for your application. In full power mode, the quiescent current is higher, so consider thermal dissipation in the design.

When using the ADA4945-1ACPZ, ensure that the output common-mode voltage (VOCM) is set correctly to match the ADC's input common-mode range. Incorrect VOCM settings can degrade ADC performance. Also, avoid exceeding the absolute maximum supply voltage of 10 V, as this can damage the device. Refer to the datasheet for the recommended VOCM range and absolute maximum ratings.
