LTC1415
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
4.096V to 2.048V and shifts the common mode voltage
from half of full scale to 2.274V.

ADC does need to be DC biased at midscale. Figures 10d
and 10e demonstrate AC coupling and the required bias-
ing. Figure 10d shows the ADC with a full scale of 4.096V,
a common mode voltage of 2.048V and an input that
swings from 0V to 4.096V. This circuit has the lowest
noise (SINAD = 72dB to 100kHz) but will have distortion
