74-dB SNR: 10-MSPS: 14-Bit: Analog Front-End Reference Design for Thermal Imaging Cameras

Description

This reference design is built keeping an electronic imaging system in mind. Image sensors today force heavy demands on ADCs in terms of: excellent linearity (DNL 74-dB SNR) to assure superior image quality and freedom from distortion over time. Enabled by the low-noise: high-speed amplifier: fully differential amplifier (FDA): high-speed ADC: and low-noise LDO from TI: this reference design demonstrates how to design a high-performance analog signal chain for digitizing the pixel-output signal in thermal imaging cameras.
