generation in a wideband ADC family, preceded by the AD9042 (12-bit, 41 MSPS), the AD6640 (12-bit, 65 MSPS, IF sampling), and the AD6644 (14-bit, 40 MSPS/65 MSPS). Designed for multichannel, multimode receivers, the AD6645 is part of Analog Device’s SoftCell™ transceiver chipset. The AD6645 maintains 100 dB multitone, spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) through the second Nyquist band. This breakthrough performance eases the burden placed on multimode digital receivers (software radios) that are typically limited by the ADC. Noise performance is exceptional; typical signal-tonoise ratio is 74.5 dB through the first Nyquist band. The AD6645 is built on Analog Devices’ high-speed complementary bipolar process (XFCB) and uses an innovative, multipass circuit architecture. Units are available in a thermally enhanced 52lead PowerQuad 4® (LQFP_ED) specified from –40∞C to +85∞C.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. IF Sampling The AD6645 maintains outstanding ac performance up to input frequencies of 200 MHz. Suitable for multicarrier 3G wideband cellular IF sampling receivers. 2. Pin Compatibility The ADC has the same footprint and pin layout as the AD6644, 14-Bit 40 MSPS/65 MSPS ADC. 3. SFDR Performance and Oversampling Multitone SFDR performance of –100 dBc can reduce the requirements of high-end RF components and allows the use of receive signal processors such as the AD6620 or AD6624/ AD6624A.
The AD6645 is a high-speed, high-performance, monolithic 14-bit analog-to-digital converter. All necessary functions, including track-and-hold (T/H) and reference, are included on the chip to provide a complete conversion solution. The AD6645 provides CMOS-compatible digital outputs. It is the fourth

NOTES 1 Several timing parameters are a function of t ENC and tENCH. 2 To compensate for a change in duty cycle for t H_DR and tS_DR use the following equation: NewtH_DR = (tH_DR – % Change(tENCH)) NewtS_DR = (tS_DR – % Change(t ENCH)) 3 ENCODE TO DATA Delay (Hold Time) is the absolute minimum propagation delay through the Analog-to-Digital Converter, t E_RL = tH_E. 4 ENCODE TO DATA Delay (Setup Time) is calculated relative to 80 MSPS (50% duty cycle). To calculate t S_E for a given encode, use the following equation: NewtS_E = tENC(NEW) – tENC + tS_E (i.e., for 40 MSPS: Newt S_E(TYP) = 25 ¥ 10–9 – 15.38 ¥ 10–9 + 9.8 ¥ 10–9 = 19.4 ¥ 10 –9). 5 DRY is an inverted and delayed version of the encode clock. Any change in the duty cycle of the clock will correspondingly change the duty cycle of DRY. 6 DataReady to DATA Delay (t H_DR and tS_DR) is calculated relative to 80 MSPS (50% duty cycle) and is dependent on t ENC and duty cycle. To calculate t H_DR and tS_DR for a given encode, use the following equations: NewtH_DR = tENC(NEW)/2 – tENCH + tH_DR (i.e., for 40 MSPS: NewtH_DR(TYP) = 12.5 ¥ 10–9 – 6.25 ¥ 10–9 + 7.2 ¥ 10–9 = 13.45 ¥ 10–9 NewtS_DR = tENC(NEW)/2 – tENCH + tS_DR (i.e., for 40 MSPS: NewtS_DR(TYP) = 12.5 ¥ 10–9 – 6.25 ¥ 10–9 + 3.6 ¥ 10–9 = 9.85 ¥ 10–9 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 AD6645 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.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS Analog Bandwidth Minimum Conversion Rate
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of the fundamental frequency (as determined by the FFT analysis) is reduced by 3 dB.
Aperture Delay
The encode rate at which the SNR of the lowest analog signal frequency drops by no more than 3 dB below the guaranteed limit.
Maximum Conversion Rate
The encode rate at which parametric testing is performed.
Noise (For Any Range Within the ADC)
Ê FS dBm – SNR dBc - Signal dBFS ˆ Á ˜ ¯ 10
The delay between the 50% point of the rising edge of the ENCODE command and the instant at which the analog input is sampled.
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter)
VNOISE = | Z | ¥ 0.001 ¥ 10 Ë
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Differential Analog Input Resistance, Differential Analog Input Capacitance, and Differential Analog Input Impedance
The real and complex impedances measured at each analog input port. The resistance is measured statically and the capacitance and differential input impedances are measured with a network analyzer.
Differential Analog Input Voltage Range
Where Z is the input impedance, FS is the full scale of the device for the frequency in question; SNR is the value for the particular input level; and Signal is the signal level within the ADC reported in dB below full scale. This value includes both thermal and quantization noise.
Output Propagation Delay
The peak-to-peak differential voltage that must be applied to the converter to generate a full-scale response. Peak differential voltage is computed by observing the voltage on a single pin and subtracting the voltage from the other pin, which is 180 degrees out of phase. Peak-to-peak differential is computed by rotating the inputs phase 180 degrees and taking the peak measurement again. Then the difference is computed between both peak measurements.
Differential Nonlinearity
The delay between a differential crossing of ENCODE and ENCODE and the time when all output data bits are within valid logic levels.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio
The ratio of a change in input offset voltage to a change in power supply voltage. Power Supply Rise Time The time from when the dc supply is initiated, until the supply output reaches the minimum specified operating voltage for the ADC. The dc level is measured at supply pin(s) of the ADC.
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion (SINAD)
The deviation of any code width from an ideal 1 LSB step.
Encode Pulsewidth/Duty Cycle
Pulsewidth high is the minimum amount of time that the ENCODE pulse should be left in Logic “1” state to achieve rated performance; pulsewidth low is the minimum time ENCODE pulse should be left in low state. See timing implications of changing tENCH in text. At a given clock rate, these specs define an acceptable ENCODE duty cycle.
Full-Scale Input Power
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set 1 dB below full scale) to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components, including harmonics but excluding dc.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (without Harmonics)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set at 1 dB below full scale) to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components, excluding the first five harmonics and dc.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
Expressed in dBm. Computed using the following equation:
PowerFull Scale
È V 2Full Scale rms Í |Z | Input = 10 log Í Í 0.001 Í Í Î
ù ú ú ú ú ú û
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the peak spurious spectral component. The peak spurious component may or may not be a harmonic. May be reported in dBc (i.e., degrades as signal level is lowered) or dBFS (always related back to converter full scale).
Two Tone Intermodulation Distortion Rejection
Harmonic Distortion, 2
nd
The ratio of the rms value of either input tone to the rms value of the worst third order intermodulation product; reported in dBc.
Two Tone SFDR
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the second harmonic component, reported in dBc.
Harmonic Distortion, 3 rd
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the third harmonic component, reported in dBc.
Integral Nonlinearity
The ratio of the rms value of either input tone to the rms value of the peak spurious component. The peak spurious component may or may not be an IMD product. May be reported in dBc (i.e., degrades as signal level is lowered) or in dBFS (always related back to converter full scale).
Worst Other Spur
The deviation of the transfer function from a reference line measured in fractions of 1 LSB using a “best straight line” determined by a least square curve fit.
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the worst spurious component (excluding the second and third harmonic) reported in dBc.

AD6645
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD6645 analog-to-digital converter (ADC) employs a three stage subrange architecture. This design approach achieves the required accuracy and speed while maintaining low power and small die size. As shown in the functional block diagram, the AD6645 has complementary analog input pins, AIN and AIN. Each analog input is centered at 2.4 V and should swing ± 0.55 V around this reference (see Figure 2). Since AIN and AIN are 180 degrees out of phase, the differential analog input signal is 2.2 V peak-to-peak. Both analog inputs are buffered prior to the first track-and-hold, TH1. The high state of the ENCODE pulse places TH1 in hold mode. The held value of TH1 is applied to the input of a 5-bit coarse ADC1. The digital output of ADC1 drives a 5-bit digitalto-analog converter, DAC1. DAC1 requires 14 bits of precision, which is achieved through laser trimming. The output of DAC1 is subtracted from the delayed analog signal at the input of TH3 to generate a first residue signal. TH2 provides an analog pipeline delay to compensate for the digital delay of ADC1. The first residue signal is applied to a second conversion stage consisting of a 5-bit ADC2, 5-bit DAC2, and pipeline TH4. The second DAC requires 10 bits of precision, which is met by the process with no trim. The input to TH5 is a second residue signal generated by subtracting the quantized output of DAC2 from the first residue signal held by TH4. TH5 drives a final 6-bit ADC3. The digital outputs from ADC1, ADC2, and ADC3 are added together and corrected in the digital error correction logic to generate the final output data. The result is a 14-bit parallel digital CMOS-compatible word, coded as two’s complement.
APPLYING THE AD6645 Encoding the AD6645
If a low jitter clock is available, another option is to ac-couple a differential ECL/PECL signal to the encode input pins as shown below. The MC100EL16 (or same family) from ON-SEMI offers excellent jitter performance.

Driving the Analog Inputs
As with most new high-speed, high dynamic range analog-todigital converters, the analog input to the AD6645 is differential. Differential inputs improve on-chip performance as signals are processed through attenuation and gain stages. Most of the improvement is a result of differential analog stages having high rejection of even-order harmonics. There are also benefits at the PCB level. First, differential inputs have high common-mode rejection to stray signals such as ground and power noise. Second, they provide good rejection to common-mode signals such as local oscillator feed-through. The AD6645 analog input voltage range is offset from ground by 2.4 V. Each analog input connects through a 500 W resistor to the 2.4 V bias voltage and to the input of a differential buffer (Figure 2). The resistor network on the input properly biases the followers for maximum linearity and range. Therefore, the analog source driving the AD6645 should be ac-coupled to the input pins. Since the differential input impedance of the AD6645 is 1 kW, the analog input power requirement is only –2 dBm, simplifying the driver amplifier in many cases. To take full advantage of this high input impedance, a 20:1 transformer would be required. This is a large ratio and could result in unsatisfactory performance. In this case, a lower step-up ratio could be used. The recommended method for driving the analog input of the AD6645 is to use a 4:1 RF transformer. For example, if RT were set to 60.4 W and RS were set to 25 W, along with a 4:1 impedance ratio transformer, the input would match to a 50 W source with a full-scale drive of 4.8 dBm. Series resistors (RS) on the secondary side of the transformer should be used to isolate the transformer from A/D. This will limit the amount of dynamic current from the A/D flowing back into the secondary of the transformer. The 50 W impedance matching can also be incorporated on the secondary side of the transformer as shown in the evaluation board schematic (Figure 13).

The AD6645 encode signal must be a high quality, extremely low phase noise source to prevent degradation of performance. Maintaining 14-bit accuracy places a premium on encode clock phase noise. SNR performance can easily degrade by 3–4 dB with 70 MHz analog input signals when using a high jitter clock source. See AN-501, “Aperture Uncertainty and ADC System Performance” for complete details. For optimum performance, the AD6645 must be clocked differentially. The encode signal is usually ac-coupled into the ENC and ENC pins via a transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased internally and require no additional bias. Shown below is one preferred method for clocking the AD6645. The clock source (low jitter) is converted from single-ended to differential using a RF transformer. The back-to-back Schottky diodes across the transformer secondary limit clock excursions into the AD6645 to approximately 0.8 V p-p differential. This helps prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from feeding through to other portions of the AD6645, and limits the noise presented to the encode inputs.

In applications where dc-coupling is required, a differential output op amp such as the AD8138 from Analog Devices can be used to drive the AD6645 (Figure 11). The AD8138 op amp provides single-ended-to-differential conversion, which reduces overall system cost and minimizes layout requirements. –14– REV. 0

Power Supplies
For optimum performance, it is highly recommended that a common ground be utilized between the analog and digital power planes. The primary concern with splitting grounds is that dynamic currents may be forced to travel significant distances in the system before recombining back at the common source ground. This can result in a large and undesirable ground loop. The most common place for this to occur is on the digital outputs of the ADC. Ground loops can contribute to digital noise being coupled back onto the ADC front end. This can manifest itself as either harmonic spurs, or very high order spurious products that can cause excessive spikes on the noise floor. This noise coupling is less likely to occur at lower clock speeds since the digital noise has more time to settle between samples. In general, splitting the analog and digital grounds can frequently contribute to undesirable EMI-RFI and should therefore be avoided. Conversely, if not properly implemented, common grounding can actually impose additional noise issues since the digital ground currents are riding on top of the analog ground currents in close proximity to the ADC input. To minimize the potential for noise coupling further, it is highly recommended that multiple ground return traces/vias be placed such that the digital output currents do not flow back towards the analog front end, but are routed quickly away from the ADC. This does not require a split in the ground plane and can be accomplished by simply placing substantial ground connections directly back to the supply at a point between the analog front end and the digital outputs. The judicious use of ceramic chip capacitors between the power supply and ground planes will also help suppress digital noise. The layout should incorporate enough bulk capacitance to supply the peak current requirements during switching periods.
