A single clock input is used to control all internal conversion
cycles. The digital output data is presented in straight binary
output format. An out-of-range signal (OTR) indicates an overflow condition which can be used with the most significant bit
to determine low or high overflow.
The AD9280 can operate with a supply range from +2.7 V to
+5.5 V, ideally suiting it for low power operation in high speed
applications.
The AD9280 is specified over the industrial (–40°C to +85°C)
temperature range.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9280 is a monolithic, single supply, 8-bit, 32 MSPS
analog-to-digital converter with an on-chip sample-and-hold
amplifier and voltage reference. The AD9280 uses a multistage
differential pipeline architecture at 32 MSPS data rates and
guarantees no missing codes over the full operating temperature
range.
The AD9280 consumes 95 mW on a 3 V supply (excluding the
reference power). In sleep mode, power is reduced to below
5 mW.
Very Small Package
The AD9280 is available in a 28-lead SSOP package.
Pin Compatible with AD876-8
The input of the AD9280 has been designed to ease the development of both imaging and communications systems. The user
can select a variety of input ranges and offsets and can drive the
input either single-ended or differentially.
The AD9280 is pin compatible with the AD876-8, allowing
older designs to migrate to lower supply voltages.
300 MHz Onboard Sample-and-Hold
The versatile SHA input can be configured for either singleended or differential inputs.
The sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) is equally suited for both
multiplexed systems that switch full-scale voltage levels in successive channels and sampling single-channel inputs at frequencies up to and beyond the Nyquist rate. AC-coupled input
signals can be shifted to a predetermined level, with an onboard
clamp circuit. The dynamic performance is excellent.
Out-of-Range Indicator
The OTR output bit indicates when the input signal is beyond
the AD9280’s input range.
Built-In Clamp Function
Allows dc restoration of video signals.
The AD9280 has an onboard programmable reference. An
external reference can also be chosen to suit the dc accuracy and
temperature drift requirements of the application.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
Offset Error
The first transition should occur at a level 1 LSB above “zero.”
Offset is defined as the deviation of the actual first code transition from that point.
Integral nonlinearity refers to the deviation of each individual
code from a line drawn from “zero” through “full scale.” The
point used as “zero” occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. “Full scale” is defined as a level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last
code transition. The deviation is measured from the center of
each particular code to the true straight line.
Gain Error
The first code transition should occur for an analog value 1 LSB
above nominal negative full scale. The last transition should
occur for an analog value 1 LSB below the nominal positive full
scale. Gain error is the deviation of the actual difference between first and last code transitions and the ideal difference
between the first and last code transitions.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL, No Missing Codes)
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB
apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. It is often
specified in terms of the resolution for which no missing codes
(NMC) are guaranteed.
Pipeline Delay (Latency)
The number of clock cycles between conversion initiation and
the associated output data being made available. New output
data is provided every rising edge.

APPLYING THE AD9280
THEORY OF OPERATION
SIGNAL AMPLITUDE – dB
–3
The AD9280 implements a pipelined multistage architecture to
achieve high sample rate with low power. The AD9280 distributes the conversion over several smaller A/D subblocks, refining
the conversion with progressively higher accuracy as it passes
the results from stage to stage. As a consequence of the distributed conversion, the AD9280 requires a small fraction of the
256 comparators used in a traditional flash type A/D. A sampleand-hold function within each of the stages permits the first
stage to operate on a new input sample while the second, third
and fourth stages operate on the three preceding samples.

OPERATIONAL MODES
The AD9280 is designed to allow optimal performance in a
wide variety of imaging, communications and instrumentation
applications, including pin compatibility with the AD876-8 A/D.
To realize this flexibility, internal switches on the AD9280 are
used to reconfigure the circuit into different modes. These modes
are selected by appropriate pin strapping. There are three parts
of the circuit affected by this modality: the voltage reference, the
reference buffer, and the analog input. The nature of the application will determine which mode is appropriate: the descriptions in the following sections, as well as Table I should assist in
selecting the desired mode.

SUMMARY OF MODES
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
AIN
1 V Mode the internal reference may be set to 1 V by connecting REFSENSE and VREF together.
REFTS
2 V Mode the internal reference my be set to 2 V by connecting
REFSENSE to analog ground
REFERENCE BUFFER
Center Span Mode midscale is set by shorting REFTS and
REFBS together and applying the midscale voltage to that point
The MODE pin is set to AVDD/2. The analog input will swing
about that midscale point.
Top/Bottom Mode sets the input range between two points.
The two points are between 1 V and 2 V apart. The Top/Bottom
Mode is enabled by tying the MODE pin to AVDD.
ANALOG INPUT
Differential Mode is attained by driving the AIN pin as one
differential input, shorting REFTS and REFBS together and
driving them as the second differential input. The MODE pin
is tied to AVDD/2. Preferred mode for optimal distortion
performance.
Single-Ended is attained by driving the AIN pin while the
REFTS and REFBS pins are held at dc points. The MODE pin is
tied to AVDD.
Single-Ended/Clamped (AC Coupled) the input may be
clamped to some dc level by ac coupling the input. This is done
by tying the CLAMPIN to some dc point and applying a pulse
to the CLAMP pin. MODE pin is tied to AVDD.
SPECIAL
AD876-8 Mode enables users of the AD876-8 to drop the
AD9280 into their socket. This mode is attained by floating or
grounding the MODE pin.
INPUT AND REFERENCE OVERVIEW
Figure 16, a simplified model of the AD9280, highlights the
relationship between the analog input, AIN, and the reference
voltages, REFTS, REFBS and VREF. Like the voltages applied
to the resistor ladder in a flash A/D converter, REFTS and
REFBS define the maximum and minimum input voltages to
the A/D.
REFBS
Figure 15. AD9280 Equivalent Functional Input Circuit
In single-ended operation, the input spans the range,
REFBS ≤ AIN ≤ REFTS
where REFBS can be connected to GND and REFTS connected to VREF. If the user requires a different reference range,
REFBS and REFTS can be driven to any voltage within the
power supply rails, so long as the difference between the two is
between 1 V and 2 V.
In differential operation, REFTS and REFBS are shorted together, and the input span is set by VREF,
(REFTS – VREF/2) ≤ AIN ≤ (REFTS + VREF/2)
where VREF is determined by the internal reference or brought
in externally by the user.
The best noise performance may be obtained by operating the
AD9280 with a 2 V input range. The best distortion performance may be obtained by operating the AD9280 with a 1 V
input range.
REFERENCE OPERATION
The AD9280 can be configured in a variety of reference topologies. The simplest configuration is to use the AD9280’s onboard
bandgap reference, which provides a pin-strappable option to
generate either a 1 V or 2 V output. If the user desires a reference voltage other than those two, an external resistor divider
can be connected between VREF, REFSENSE and analog
ground to generate a potential anywhere between 1 V and 2 V.
Another alternative is to use an external reference for designs
requiring enhanced accuracy and/or drift performance. A
third alternative is to bring in top and bottom references,
bypassing VREF altogether.
Figures 16d, 16e and 16f illustrate the reference and input architecture of the AD9280. In tailoring a desired arrangement,
the user can select an input configuration to match drive circuit.
Then, moving to the reference modes at the bottom of the
figure, select a reference circuit to accommodate the offset and
amplitude of a full-scale signal.
Table I outlines pin configurations to match user requirements.
The input stage is normally configured for single-ended operation, but allows for differential operation by shorting REFTS
and REFBS together to be used as the second input.

External Reference Mode enables the user to apply an external reference to REFTS, REFBS and VREF pins. This mode
is attained by tying REFSENSE to VDD.

The actual reference voltages used by the internal circuitry of
the AD9280 appear on REFTF and REFBF. For proper operation, it is necessary to add a capacitor network to decouple these
pins. The REFTF and REFBF should be decoupled for all
internal and external configurations as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 19 shows the single-ended configuration for 2 V p-p
operation. REFSENSE is connected to GND, resulting in a 2 V

To optimize dynamic performance, center the common-mode
voltage of the analog input at approximately 1.5 V. Connect the
shorted REFTS and REFBS inputs to a low impedance 1.5 V
source. In this configuration, the MODE pin is driven to a voltage at midsupply (AVDD/2).

INTERNAL REFERENCE OPERATION
Figures 18, 19 and 20 show sample connections of the AD9280
internal reference in its most common configurations. (Figures
18 and 19 illustrate top/bottom mode while Figure 20 illustrates
center span mode). Figure 29 shows how to connect the AD9280
for 1 V p-p differential operation. Shorting the VREF pin
directly to the REFSENSE pin places the internal reference
amplifier, A1, in unity-gain mode and the resultant reference
output is 1 V. In Figure 18 REFBS is grounded to give an input
range from 0 V to 1 V. These modes can be chosen when the
supply is either +3 V or +5 V. The VREF pin must be bypassed to
AVSS (analog ground) with a 1.0 µF tantalum capacitor in
parallel with a low inductance, low ESR, 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor.

Figure 23a shows an example of the external references driving
the REFTF and REFBF pins that is compatible with the
AD876. REFTS is shorted to REFTF and driven by an external
4 V low impedance source. REFBS is shorted to REFBF and
driven by a 2 V source. The MODE pin is connected to GND
in this configuration.
EXTERNAL REFERENCE OPERATION
Using an external reference may provide more flexibility and
improve drift and accuracy. Figures 21 through 23 show examples of how to use an external reference with the AD9280.
To use an external reference, the user must disable the internal
reference amplifier by connecting the REFSENSE pin to VDD.
The user then has the option of driving the VREF pin, or driving the REFTS and REFBS pins.

The AD9280 contains an internal reference buffer (A2), that
simplifies the drive requirements of an external reference. The
external reference must simply be able to drive a 10 kΩ load.

STANDBY OPERATION
The ADC may be placed into a powered down (sleep) mode by
driving the STBY (standby) pin to logic high potential and
holding the clock at logic low. In this mode the typical power
drain is approximately 4 mW.
The ADC will “wake up” in 400 ns (typ) after the standby pulse
goes low.

CLAMP OPERATION
The AD9280ARS features an optional clamp circuit for dc
restoration of video or ac coupled signals. Figure 24 shows the
internal clamp circuitry and the external control signals needed
for clamp operation. To enable the clamp, apply a logic high to
the CLAMP pin. This will close the switch SW1. The clamp
amplifier will then servo the voltage at the AIN pin to be equal
to the clamp voltage applied at the CLAMPIN pin. After the
desired clamp level is attained, SW1 is opened by taking
CLAMP back to a logic low. Ignoring the droop caused by the
input bias current, the input capacitor CIN will hold the dc
voltage at AIN constant until the next clamp interval. The input
resistor RIN has a minimum recommended value of 10 Ω, to
maintain the closed-loop stability of the clamp amplifier.

AD9280
The allowable voltage range that can be applied to CLAMPIN
depends on the operational limits of the internal clamp amplifier. The recommended clamp range is between 0.5 volts and
2.0 volts.
back porch to truncate the SYNC below the AD9280’s minimum input voltage. With a CIN = 1 µF, and RIN = 20 Ω, the
acquisition time needed to set the input dc level to one volt
with 1 mV accuracy is about 140 µs, assuming a full 1 volt VC.
The input capacitor should be sized to allow sufficient acquisition time of the clamp voltage at AIN within the CLAMP interval, but also be sized to minimize droop between clamping
intervals. Specifically, the acquisition time when the switch is
closed will equal:
With a 1 µF input coupling capacitor, the droop across one
horizontal can be calculated:
T ACQ = RIN CIN
V
ln C
VE
where VC is the voltage change required across CIN, and VE is
the error voltage. VC is calculated by taking the difference between the initial input dc level at the start of the clamp interval
and the clamp voltage supplied at CLAMPIN. VE is a system
dependent parameter, and equals the maximum tolerable deviation from VC. For example, if a 2-volt input level needs to be
clamped to 1 volt at the AD9280’s input within 10 millivolts,
then VC equals 2 – 1 or 1 volt, and VE equals 10 mV. Note that
once the proper clamp level is attained at the input, only a very
small voltage change will be required to correct for droop.
IBIAS = 22 µA, and t = 63.5 µs, so dV = 1.397 mV, which is less
than one LSB.
After the input capacitor is initially charged, the clamp pulse
width only needs to be wide enough to correct small voltage
errors such as the droop. The fine scale settling characteristics
of the clamp circuitry are shown in Table II.
Depending on the required accuracy, a CLAMP pulse width of
1 µs–3 µs should work in most applications. The OFFSET values ignore the contribution of offset from the clamp amplifier;
they simply compare the output code with a “final value” measured with a much longer CLAMP pulse duration.

The voltage droop is calculated with the following equation:
dV =

where t = time between clamping intervals.
The bias current of the AD9280 will depend on the sampling
rate, FS, and the difference between the reference midpoint,
(REFTS–REFBS)/2 and the input voltage. For a fixed sampling
rate of 32 MHz, Figure 14 shows the input bias current for a
given input. For a 1 V input range, the maximum input bias
current from Figure 14 is 22 µA. For lower sampling rates the
input bias current will scale proportionally.
