I am in the process of designing an A/D circuit to interface to a PC/AT
bus. I will use two Analog Devices AD7820's (1uSec conversion time) and
have finished the digital side of the design (address decoding etc) but
I am now struggling with the analogue side. The signals I am trying to
digitise swing between +/- 2.5 volts and they are sampled at random intervals
as close as 5 uSec apart (with the mean sampling interval about 50mSec).
The input to the A/D's requires non bipolar input (0 - Vref) and so if I
select a Vref of 2.5 volts I need to scale the input and add a bit of
DC offset (preferably derived from the voltage reference).
Can anyone help me with this? Perhaps reccomend an Op-Amp with adequate
bandwidth, slew rate etc.. that would be suitable, or even some good
references or text books on Op Amp design, maybe even a circuit suggestion.
Thanks in advance
