For an ADC like ADS7042 running at a sampling rate of 500 kSPS of a clock of 12.5 MHz, the effective

bandwidth of the op amp required to drive such an ADC is approximately 2.7 MHz. See the TI precision lab

videos on driving SAR ADCs to understand the underlying calculation. The OPAx607 has a GBW of 50 MHz.

With a gain of 20 V/V, the closed loop bandwidth turns out to approximately 2.5 MHz, making this device the

most suitable, cost-optimized amplifier for this application. The RC charge bucket (240 Ω and 688 pF in Figure

9-12) designed at the input of the SAR ADC is derived from the calculations provided in the SAR ADC precision

lab videos. The fundamental concept behind the design of this charge bucket filter is to ensure that the sample

and hold capacitor is charged to the required final voltage within the acquisition window of the ADC.

As shown in Figure 9-14, a DC accuracy of higher than 0.05% is achieved with the OPAx607. The simulations

are captured with and without voltage offset calibration. Frequency response shown in Figure 9-13 indicate
