Figure 26. AC-coupled differential input

Figure 26 represents the biasing of a differential input signal in an AC-coupled differential

voltage, which can be left internal, or fixed externally.

Figure 27 shows a DC-coupled configuration with forced VREFP and INCM to the 1V DC

analog input while VREFM is connected to ground; the differential amplitude obtained is

Clock input

The quality of your TSA1203 converter is very dependent on your clock input accuracy, in

terms of aperture jitter; the use of a low jitter crystal controlled oscillator is recommended.

Further points to consider in your implementation are:

●

The duty cycle must be between 45% and 55%.

●

The clock power supplies must be independent from the ADC output supplies to avoid

digital noise modulation on the output.

●

When powered-on, the circuit needs several clock periods to reach its normal operating

conditions. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the circuit clocked to avoid random

states before applying the supply voltages.
