Abstract
A circuit for a low-noise interface between an amplifier and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) may comprise a capacitor element having a capacitance of C coupled between a first and second output node of the amplifier. A first resistor Rmay be coupled in parallel with the capacitor. A second resistor Rmay be coupled between the first output node of the amplifier and a first input node of the ADC. A third resistor Rmay be coupled between the second output node of the amplifier and a second input node of the ADC. Initial values of the resistances R, R, and Rmay be selected to provide a desired value Rfor a load resistance of the amplifier. A value of the capacitance C may be selected so that, in combination with the desired value R, a desired bandwidth for the amplifier is achieved.
