Overload recovery is particularly important in applications where SERIALVREFFREFS small signals must be amplified in the presence of large transients. DDINTERFACE1/2CSAD8616 Figure 40 and Figure 41 show the positive and negative overload UNIPOLARDINAD5542VOUTPUT recovery times of the AD8616. In both cases, the time elapsed OUTSCLK before the AD8616 comes out of saturation is less than 1 μs. In LDACDGNDAGND addition, the symmetry between the positive and negative recovery 42 -0 48 times allows excellent signal rectification without distortion to the 46 0 output signal. Figure 42. Buffering DAC Output LOW NOISE APPLICATIONSVS = ±2.5VRL = 10kΩA Although the AD8618 typically has less than 8 nV/√Hz of voltage V = 100+2.5VVIN = 50mV noise density at 1 kHz, it is possible to reduce it further. A simple method is to connect the amplifiers in parallel, as shown in 0V Figure 43. The total noise at the output is divided by the square root of the number of amplifiers. In this case, the total noise is 0V approximately 4 nV/√Hz at room temperature. The 100 Ω resistor limits the current and provides an effective output resistance of 50 Ω. 3VINR3–50mVV+1R12V–100Ω 0 -04 10Ω 48 TIME (1µs/DIV) 46 0 R2 Figure 40.

Noise Reduction The low offset voltage, fast slew rate, and fast settling time make the part suitable to buffer voltage output or current output DACs. Figure 42 shows an example of the AD8616 at the output of the AD5542. The AD8616’s rail-to-rail output and low distortion help maintain the accuracy needed in data acquisition systems and automated test equipment. Rev.
