GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9483 is a triple 8-bit monolithic analog-to-digital converter optimized for digitizing RGB graphics signals from personal computers and workstations. Its 140 MSPS encode rate capability and full-power analog bandwidth of 330 MHz supports display resolutions of up to 1280 × 1024 at 75 Hz with sufficient input bandwidth to accurately acquire and digitize each pixel. To minimize system cost and power dissipation, the AD9483 includes an internal +2.5 V reference and track-and-hold circuit. The user provides only a +5 V power supply and an encode clock. No external reference or driver components are required for many applications. The digital outputs are threestate CMOS outputs. Separate output power supply pins support interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V logic. The AD9483’s encode input interfaces directly to TTL, CMOS, or positive-ECL logic and will operate with single-ended or differential inputs. The user may select dual channel or single channel digital outputs. The Dual Channel (demultiplexed)
mode interleaves ADC data through two 8-bit channels at onehalf the clock rate. Operation in Dual Channel mode reduces the speed and cost of external digital interfaces while allowing the ADCs to be clocked to the full 140 MSPS conversion rate. In the Single Channel mode, all data is piped at the full clock rate to the Channel A outputs and the ADCs conversion rate is limited to 100 MSPS. A data clock output is provided at the Channel A output data rate for both Dual-Channel or SingleChannel output modes. Fabricated in an advanced BiCMOS process, the AD9483 is provided in a space-saving 100-lead MQFP surface mount plastic package (S-100) and is specified over the 0° C to +85°C temperature range.

NOTES 1 Gain error and gain temperature coefficient are based on the ADC only (with a fixed +2.5 V external reference). 2 tV and t PDF are measured from the threshold crossing of the ENCODE input to valid TTL levels at the digital outputs. The output ac load during test is 5 pF. 3 tCV and tCPD are measured from the threshold crossing of the ENCODE input to valid TTL levels at the digital outputs. The output ac load during test is 20 pF. 4 Measured under the following conditions: analog input is –1 dBFS at 19.7 MHz. 5 SNR/harmonics based on an analog input voltage of –1.0 dBFS referenced to a 1.024 V full-scale input range. Typical thermal impedance for the S-100 (MQFP) 100-lead package: θJC = 10°C/W, θCA = 17°C/W, θJA = 27°C/W. Specifications subject to change without notice.

CAUTION ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the AD9483 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

AD9483
APPLICATION NOTES Theory of Operation
The AD9483 combines Analog Devices’ patented MagAmp bitper-stage architecture with flash converter technology to create a high performance, low power ADC. For ease of use the part includes an on board reference and input logic that accepts TTL, CMOS or PECL levels. Each of the three analog input signals is buffered by a high speed differential amplifier and applied to a track-and-hold (T/H) circuit. This T/H captures the value of the input at the sampling instant and maintains it for the duration of the conversion. The sampling and conversion process is initiated by a rising edge on the ENCODE input. Once the signal is captured by the T/H, the four Most Significant Bits (MSBs) are sequentially encoded by the MagAmp string. The residue signal is then encoded by a flash comparator string to generate the four Least Significant Bits (LSBs). The comparator outputs are decoded and combined into the 8-bit result. If the user has selected Single Channel mode (OMS = HIGH) the 8-bit data word is directed to an A output bank. Data are strobed to the output on the rising edge of the ENCODE input with four pipeline delays. If the user has selected Dual Channel mode (OMS = LOW) the data are alternately directed between the A and B output banks and the data has five pipeline delays. At power-up, the N sample data can appear at either the A or B Port. To align the data in a known state, the user must strobe DATA SYNC (DS, DS) per the conditions described in the Timing section.
Graphics Applications
needs to be driven, which in turn minimizes on-chip noise due to heavy current flow in the outputs. We have obtained optimum performance on our evaluation board by tying all VCC pins to a quiet analog power supply system and tying all GND pins to a quiet analog system ground.
Minimum Encode Rate
The minimum sampling rate for the AD9483 is 10 MHz for the 140 MSPS and 100 MSPS versions. To achieve this sampling rate, the Track/Hold circuit employs a very small hold capacitor. When operated below the minimum guaranteed sampling rate, the T/H droop becomes excessive. This is first observed as an increase in offset voltage, followed by degraded linearity at even lower frequencies. Lower effective sampling rates may be easily supported by operating the converter in Dual Port output mode and using only one output channel. A majority of the power dissipated by the AD9483 is static (not related to conversion rate), so the penalty for clocking at twice the desired rate is not high.
Digital Inputs
SNR performance is directly related to the sampling clock stability in A/D converters, particularly for high input frequencies and wide bandwidths. ENCODE and Data Select (DS) can be driven differentially or single-ended. For single-ended operation, the complement inputs (ENCODE, DS) are internally biased to VDD/3 (~1.5 V) by a high impedance on-chip resistor divider (Figure 5), but they may be externally driven to establish an alternate threshold if desired. A 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor to ground is sufficient to maintain a threshold appropriate for TTL or CMOS logic. When driven differentially, ENCODE and DS will accommodate differential signals centered between 1.5 V and 4.5 V with a total differential swing ≥800 mV (VID ≥400 mV). Note the 6-diode clock input protection circuitry in Figure 5. This limits the differential input voltage to ± 2.1 V. When the diodes turn on, current is limited by the 300 Ω series resistor. Exceeding 2.1 V across the differential inputs will have no impact on the performance of the converter, but be aware of the clock signal distortion that may be produced by the nonlinear impedance at the converter.

The high bandwidth and low power of the AD9483 makes it very attractive for applications that require the digitization of presampled waveforms, wherein the input signal rapidly slews from one level to another, then is relatively stable for a period of time. Examples of these include digitizing the output of computer graphic display systems, and very high speed solid state imagers. These applications require the converter to process inputs with frequency components well in excess of the sampling rate (often with subnanosecond rise times), after which the A/D must settle and sample the input in well under one pixel time. The architecture of the AD9483 is vastly superior to older flash architectures, which not only exhibit excessive input capacitance (which is very hard to drive), but can make major errors when fed a very rapidly slewing signal. The AD9483’s extremely wide bandwidth Track/Hold circuit processes these signals without difficulty.
Using the AD9483
Good high speed design practices must be followed when using the AD9483. Decoupling capacitors should be physically as close as possible to the chip to obtain maximum benefit. We recommend placing a 0.1 µF capacitor at each power ground pin pair (14 total) for high frequency decoupling and including one 10 µF capacitor for local low frequency decoupling. Each of the three VREF IN pins should also be decoupled by a 0.1 µF capacitor. The part should be located on a solid ground plane and output trace lengths should be short (
