Analog Devices has built a broad portfolio of driver amplifiers, in fact, we created the category. Our drivers have negligible amounts of distortion and noise. We take care of driving the ADC accurately so designers can focus on more challenging problems. In short, ADI's driver amplifiers and supporting design tools make the difference in your design by allowing ADCs to perform at peak levels and making the design challenge easier.

Amplifier-or Transformer Drive for the ADC? (Feb 2007)

Wideband A/D Converter Front-End Design Considerations II: Amplifier or Transformer Drive for the ADC? - Design of the input configuration, or "front end", ahead of a high-performance analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is critical to achieving desired system performance. more ...

Analog Dialogue: High Speed Op Amp Drives a 16-bit, 1 MSPS Differential-Input A/D - Modern high resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) usually require input buffer amplifiers (ADC drivers), because they often present a dc load of several hundred ohms or more - and a high frequency dynamic load - to the source that is driving them. If the source is a transducer or a typical low frequency preamplifier, significant errors may occur. more ...
