TRANSFER FUNCTION
The AD7960 uses a 5 V or a 4.096 V reference. The AD7960
converts the differential voltage of the antiphase analog inputs
(IN+ and IN−) into a digital output. IN+ and IN− require a
REF/2 V common-mode voltage.
The 18-bit conversion result is in MSB first, twos complement
format. The ideal transfer functions for the AD7960 are shown
in Figure 29 and Table 7.

maximum. However, if the supplies of the input buffer amplifier
are different from the VDD1/GND supply, the analog input
signal may eventually exceed the supply rails by more than 0.3 V.
In such a case (for example, an input buffer with a short circuit),
the current limitation can be used to protect the part.

ANALOG INPUTS
The analog inputs applied to the AD7960, IN+ and IN−, must be
180° out of phase with each other. Figure 30 shows an equivalent
circuit of the input structure of the AD7960.
The two diodes provide ESD protection for IN+ and IN−. Care
must be taken to ensure that the analog input signals do not
exceed the supply rails of the AD7960 by more than 0.3 V (VDD1
and GND). If the analog input signals exceed this level, the
diodes become forward-biased and start conducting current.
These diodes can handle a forward-biased current of 130 mA
Figure 30. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit
The analog input structure allows the sampling of the true
differential signal between IN+ and IN−. By using these differ-
ential inputs, signals common to both inputs are rejected. The
AD7960 shows some degradation in THD with higher analog
input frequencies.
