AD8651/AD8652
Driving a 16-Bit ADC
The AD8651 is an excellent choice for driving high speed, high
precision ADCs. The driver amplifier for this type of
application needs to have low THD + N as well as quick settling
solution. The AD8651 drives the AD7685, a 250 kSPS, 16-bit data converter.

The AD8651 is configured in an inverting gain of 1 with a 5 V
single supply. Input of 45 kHz is applied, and the ADC samples
at 250 kSPS. The results of this solution are listed in Table 6.
The advantage of this circuit is that the amplifier and ADC can
be powered with the same power supply. For the case of a
noninverting gain of 1, the input common-mode voltage
encompasses both supplies.
