AD7767
DRIVING THE AD7767
The AD7767 must be driven with fully differential inputs. The
common-mode voltage of the differential inputs to the AD7767
device and thus the limits on the differential inputs are set by
the reference voltage VREF applied to the device. The common-
mode voltage of the AD7767 is VREF/2. Where the AD7767 VREF+
pin is supplied with a 5 V supply (the ADR445 or ADR425), the
common mode is at 2.5 V. This means that the maximum inputs
that can be applied on the AD7767 differential inputs are a
5 V p-p input around 2.5 V.

Figure 39. Maximum Differential Inputs to the AD7767
An analog voltage of 2.5 V supplies the AD7767 AVDD pin.
However, the AD7767 allows the user to apply a reference
voltage of up to 5 V. This provides the user with an increased
full-scale range, offering the user the option of using the
AD7767 with a larger LSB voltage size. Figure 39 shows the
maximum and minimum inputs to the AD7767.
DIFFERENTIAL SIGNAL SOURCE
An example of some recommended driving circuitry that can
be employed in conjunction with the AD7767/AD7767-1/
AD7767-2 is shown in Figure 40. Figure 40 shows how the
ADA4841-1 device can be used to drive an input to the AD7767/
AD7767-1/AD7767-2 from a differential source. Each of the
differential paths is driven by an ADA4841-1 device.

SINGLE-ENDED SIGNAL SOURCE
In the case where the AD7767 is being supplied from a single-
ended source, the application circuit in Figure 41 can be used to
drive the AD7767 device. Figure 41 shows how the ADA4941-1
single-to-differential amplifier can be used to create a fully
differential input to the AD7767. The single-ended signal input
is applied to the positive input of the ADA4941-1 device.
Arrange the values of the resistor elements to create a 2.5 V
common-mode input to the AD7767/AD7767-1/AD7767-2
device. R3 and C2 default to 3.3 Ω and 10 nF, respectively.
