ADC drivers boost bandwidth by eliminating parasitics

The output common mode of the MAX9626–MAX9628 is set through one of the input pins (VOCM), thus eliminating the need for a coupling transformer or AC-coupling capacitors. This technology saves board space and improves performance by avoiding the non-idealities found in external components. In addition, the wide output common-mode range and ability to accept negative input signals with single-supply operation allow the parts to interface with the majority of ADCs on the market. This increases design flexibility and reduces time to market.
