For best dynamic performance, th
the differential analog inputs should be matched such that
common-mode settling errors are symmetrical. These errors are
reduced by the common-mode rejection of the ADC.

put, a single-ended source can be driven into VIN+ or VIN.
n this configuration, one input accepts the signal, while the
opposite input should be set to midscale by connecting it to an
appropriate reference. For example, a 2 V p-p signal can be
applied to VIN+, while a 1 V reference is applied to VIN. The
AD6652 then accepts a signal varying between 2 V and 0 V. In
the single-ended configuration, distortion performance might
degrade significantly, compared to the differential case.
However, the effect is less noticeable at lower analog input
frequencies.
Differential Input Configurations
Optimum performance is achieved while driving the AD6652
inputs in a differential input configuration. For baseband
applications to Nyquist, the AD8138 Differential Driver
provides excellent performance and a flexible interface to the
ADC The output common-mode voltage of the AD8138 is
easily set to one-half of AVDD, and the driver can be configured
in a Sallen-Key filter topology to provide band limiting of the
input signal.
At input frequencies above Nyquist, the performance of most
amplifiers is not adequate to achieve the true performance of
the AD6652 ADC stage.

As shown by the equations above, the REFT and REFB voltages
are symmetrical about the midsupply voltage and, by definition,
the input span is twice the value of the VREF voltage. Proper
operation of the AD6652 requires that VREF be no less than
0.5 V and no greater than 1.0 V.
The internal voltage reference can be pin-strapped to fixed
values of 0.5 V or 1.0 V, or adjusted within the same range, as
discussed in the Internal Reference Connection section. Maxi-
mum SNR performance is achieved with the reference set to the
largest input span of 2 V p-p. The relative SNR degradation is
3 dB when changing from 2 V p-p mode to 1 V p-p mode.
If operation using an external reference voltage is desired, it can
be substituted for the internal reference, as detailed in the
External Reference Operation section.

ADC Voltage Reference
A stable and accurate 0.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD6652. The input span of the ADC tracks reference voltage
changes linearly. An internal differential reference buffer creates
positive and negative reference voltages, REFT and REFB,
respectively, that define the span of the ADC core. The output
common mode of the reference buffer is set to midsupply, and
the REFT and REFB voltages and span are defined as follows:
