AD9600
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9600 is a dual, 10-bit, 105 MSPS/125 MSPS/150 MSPS
ADC. It is designed to support communications applications
where low cost, small size, and versatility are desired.
The dual ADC core features a multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. Each
ADC features wide bandwidth, differential sample-and-hold
analog input amplifiers supporting a variety of user-selectable
input ranges. An integrated voltage reference eases design
considerations. A duty cycle stabilizer is provided to compensate for variations in the ADC clock duty cycle, allowing the
converters to maintain excellent performance.
The AD9600 has several functions that simplify the automated
gain control (AGC) function in a communications receiver. For
example, the fast detect feature allows fast overrange detection
by outputting four bits of input level information with very
short latency.
In addition, the programmable threshold detector allows monitoring the amplitude of the incoming signal with short latency,
using the four fast detect bits of the ADC. If the input signal level
exceeds the programmable threshold, the fine upper threshold
indicator goes high. Because this threshold is set from the four
MSBs, the user can quickly adjust the system gain to avoid an
overrange condition.
Another AGC-related function of the AD9600 is the signal
monitor. This block allows the user to monitor the composite
magnitude of the incoming signal, which aids in setting the gain
to optimize the dynamic range of the overall system.
The ADC output data can be routed directly to the two external
10-bit output ports. These outputs can be set from 1.8 V to 3.3 V
CMOS or 1.8 V LVDS. In addition, flexible power-down options
allow significant power savings.

Typical θJA and θJC are specified for a 4-layer board in still air.
Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing θJA. In
addition, metal (such as metal traces through holes, ground,
and power planes) that is in direct contact with the package
leads reduces the θJA.

AD9600
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9600 dual ADC design can be used for diversity
reception of signals, where the ADCs are operating identically
on the same carrier but from two separate antennae. The ADCs
can also be operated with independent analog inputs. The user
can sample any fS/2 frequency segment from dc to 200 MHz
using appropriate low-pass or band-pass filtering at the ADC
inputs with little loss in ADC performance. Although operation
of up to 450 MHz analog input is permitted, ADC distortion
increases at frequencies toward the higher end of this range.
In nondiversity applications, the AD9600 can be used as a
baseband receiver where one ADC is used for I input data and
the other used for Q input data.
Synchronization capability is provided to allow synchronized
timing among multiple channels or multiple devices.
Programming and control of the AD9600 is accomplished using
a 3-bit SPI-compatible serial interface.
of a clock cycle. A small resistor in series with each input can
help reduce the peak transient current required from the output
stage of the driving source. A shunt capacitor can be placed
across the inputs to provide dynamic charging currents. This
passive network creates a low-pass filter at the ADC’s input;
therefore, the precise values are dependent on the application.
In undersampling (IF sampling) applications, any shunt capacitors
should be reduced. In combination with the driving source
impedance, the shunt capacitors limit the input bandwidth. See
the AN-742 Application Note, Frequency Domain Response of
Switched-Capacitor ADCs; the AN-827 Application Note, A
Resonant Approach to Interfacing Amplifiers to Switched-Capacitor
ADCs; and the Analog Dialogue article “Transformer-Coupled
Front-End for Wideband A/D Converters” (Volume 39, April 2005)
for more information. In general, the precise values are dependent
on the application.
S
ADC ARCHITECTURE
CH
The AD9600 architecture consists of a dual front-end sampleand-hold amplifier (SHA) followed by a pipelined switchedcapacitor ADC. The quantized outputs from each stage are
combined into a final 10-bit result in the digital correction
logic. The pipelined architecture permits the first stage to
operate on a new input sample while the remaining stages
operate on preceding samples. Sampling occurs on the rising
edge of the clock.
Each stage of the pipeline excluding the last consists of a low
resolution flash ADC connected to a switched-capacitor digitalto-analog converter (DAC) and an interstage residue amplifier
(a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC)). The residue
amplifier magnifies the difference between the reconstructed
DAC output and the flash input for the next stage in the
pipeline. One bit of redundancy is used in each stage to
facilitate digital correction of flash errors. The last stage simply
consists of a flash ADC.
The input stage of each channel contains a differential SHA that
can be ac- or dc-coupled in differential or single-ended modes.
The output-staging block aligns the data, corrects errors, and
passes the data to the output buffers. The output buffers are
powered from a separate supply, allowing adjustment of the
output voltage swing. During power-down, the output buffers
go into a high impedance state.
ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
The analog input to the AD9600 is a differential switchedcapacitor SHA that has been designed for optimum
performance while processing a differential input signal.
The clock signal alternatively switches the SHA between
sample mode and hold mode (see Figure 45). When the SHA is
switched into sample mode, the signal source must be capable
of charging the sample capacitors and settling within one-half

For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
VIN+ and VIN− should be matched.
An internal differential reference buffer creates positive and negative reference voltages that define the input span of the ADC core.
The span of the ADC core is set by the buffer to 2 × VREF.
Input Common Mode
The analog inputs of the AD9600 are not internally dc-biased.
Therefore, in ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this
bias externally. Setting the device so that VCM = 0.55 × AVDD is
recommended for optimum performance, but the device can
function over a wider range with reasonable performance (see
Figure 44). An on-board common-mode voltage reference is
included in the design and is available from the CML pin.
Optimum performance is achieved when the common-mode
voltage of the analog input is set by the CML pin voltage (typically
0.55 × AVDD). The CML pin must be decoupled to ground by a
0.1 μF capacitor as described in the Applications Information
section.
Differential Input Configurations
Optimum performance is achieved while driving the AD9600
in a differential input configuration. For baseband applications,
the AD8138, ADA4937-2, and ADA4938-2 differential drivers
provide excellent performance and a flexible interface to the
Rev. B | Page 23 of 72

An alternative to using a transformer-coupled input at
frequencies in the second Nyquist zone is to use the AD8352
differential driver. An example is shown in Figure 50. See the
AD8352 data sheet for more information.
ADC. The output common-mode voltage of the AD8138 is
easily set with the CML pin of the AD9600 (see Figure 46), and
the driver can be configured in a Sallen-Key filter topology to
band limit the input signal.

For baseband applications where SNR is a key parameter,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration. An example is shown in Figure 47. The CML
voltage can be connected to the center tap of the transformer’s
secondary winding to bias the analog input.
49.9Ω
A single-ended input can provide adequate performance in
cost-sensitive applications. In this configuration, SFDR and
distortion performance degrade due to the large input commonmode swing. If the source impedances on each input are matched,
there should be little effect on SNR performance. Figure 48
details a typical single-ended input configuration.

At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the

the recommended input configuration. An example is shown

The signal characteristics must be considered when selecting

In any configuration, the value of the shunt capacitor, C, is
dependent on the input frequency and source impedance and may
need to be reduced or removed. Table 10 lists the recommended
values to set the RC network. However, the actual values are
dependent on the input signal; therefore, Table 10 should only
be used as a starting guide.

The input range can be adjusted by varying the reference voltage
applied to the AD9600, using either the internal reference or an
externally applied reference voltage. The input span of the ADC
tracks reference voltage changes linearly. The various reference

If the internal reference of the AD9600 is used to drive multiple
converters to improve gain matching, the loading of the reference
by the other converters must be considered. Figure 53 depicts
how the internal reference voltage is affected by loading.

REFERENCE VOLTAGE ERROR (%)
A comparator within the AD9600 detects the potential at the
SENSE pin and configures the reference into four possible modes,
which are summarized in Table 11. If SENSE is grounded, the
reference amplifier switch is connected to the internal resistor
divider (see Figure 51), setting VREF to 1.0 V. Connecting the
SENSE pin to VREF switches the reference amplifier output to
the SENSE pin, completing the loop and providing a 0.5 V
reference output. If a resistor divider is connected external to
the chip as shown in Figure 52, the switch again selects the
SENSE pin. This puts the reference amplifier in a noninverting
mode with the VREF output defined as

External Reference Operation
The use of an external reference may be necessary to enhance
the gain accuracy of the ADC or to improve the thermal drift
characteristics. Figure 54 shows the typical drift characteristics
of the internal reference in 1.0 V mode.
This helps prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from
feeding through to other portions of the AD9600 while
preserving the fast rise and fall times of the signal that are
critical to low jitter performance.

The RF balun configuration is recommended for clock
frequencies between 125 MHz and 625 MHz, and the RF
transformer is recommended for clock frequencies from 10 MHz
to 200 MHz. The back-to-back Schottky diodes across the
secondary transformer or balun limit clock excursions into the
AD9600 to approximately 0.8 V p-p differential.

CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
For optimum performance, the AD9600 sample clock inputs
(CLK+ and CLK−) should be clocked with a differential signal.
The signal is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK− pins
via a transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased internally
(see Figure 55) and require no external bias.

Clock Input Options
The AD9600 has a very flexible clock input structure. The clock
input can be a CMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, or sine wave signal.
Regardless of the type of signal being used, the jitter of the clock
source is of the most concern, as described in the Jitter
Considerations section.
Figure 56 and Figure 57 show preferred methods for clocking the
AD9600 (at clock rates of up to 625 MHz). A low jitter clock source
is converted from a single-ended signal to a differential signal
using either an RF balun or an RF transformer.
A third option is to ac-couple a differential LVDS signal to the
sample clock input pins as shown in Figure 59. The AD9510/
AD9511/AD9512/AD9513/AD9514/AD9515 family of clock
drivers offer excellent jitter performance.

When the SENSE pin is tied to AVDD, the internal reference is
disabled, allowing the use of an external reference. An internal
reference buffer loads the external reference with an equivalent
6 kΩ load (see Figure 15). The internal buffer generates the
positive and negative full-scale references for the ADC core.
Therefore, the external reference must be limited to a maximum
of 1.0 V.
AD9600
In some applications, it is acceptable to drive the sample clock
inputs with a single-ended CMOS signal. In such applications,
CLK+ should be driven directly from a CMOS gate, and the
CLK− pin should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 μF capacitor
in parallel with a 39 kΩ resistor (see Figure 60). Although the
CLK+ input circuit supply is AVDD (1.8 V), this input is designed
to withstand input voltages of up to 3.6 V and therefore offers
several selections for the drive logic voltage.

Input Clock Divider
The AD9600 contains an input clock divider with the ability to
divide the input clock by integer values between 1 and 8. If a
divide ratio other than 1 is selected, the duty cycle stabilizer is
automatically enabled.
The AD9600 clock divider can be synchronized by using the
external SYNC input. Bit 1 and Bit 2 of Register 0x100 allow the
clock divider to be resynchronized either on every SYNC signal
or on only the first SYNC signal after the register is written. A
valid SYNC causes the clock divider to reset to its initial state.
This synchronization feature allows aligning the clock dividers of
multiple devices to guarantee simultaneous input sampling.
Clock Duty Cycle
Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a
variety of internal timing signals. As a result, these ADCs may
be sensitive to the clock duty cycle. Commonly, a ±5% tolerance
is required on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic
performance characteristics. The AD9600 contains a duty cycle
stabilizer (DCS) that retimes the nonsampling (or falling) edge,
providing an internal clock signal with a nominal 50% duty
cycle. This allows the user to provide a wide range of clock
input duty cycles without affecting the performance of the
AD9600. When the SDIO/DCS pin functions as DCS, noise and
distortion performance are nearly flat for a wide range of duty
cycles, as shown in Figure 43.

Jitter in the rising edge of the input is an important concern, and it
is not reduced by the internal stabilization circuit. The duty cycle
control loop does not function for clock rates less than 20 MHz
nominally. The loop has a time constant associated with it that
needs to be considered if the clock rate may change dynamically.
This requires a wait time of 1.5 μs to 5 μs after a dynamic clock
frequency increase or decrease before the DCS loop is relocked
to the input signal. During this time, the loop is not locked, the
DCS loop is bypassed, and the internal device timing is dependent
on the duty cycle of the input clock signal. In such applications,
it may be appropriate to disable the duty clock stabilizer. In all
other applications, enabling the DCS circuit is recommended to
maximize ac performance.
Figure 62. SNR vs. Input Frequency and Jitter
The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases
where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the AD9600.
Power supplies for clock drivers should be separated from the
ADC output driver supplies to avoid modulating the clock signal
with digital noise. Low jitter, crystal-controlled oscillators make
the best clock sources. If the clock is generated from another
type of source (by gating, dividing, or another method), it
should be retimed by the original clock during the last step.
Refer to the AN-501 Application Note and the AN-756
Application Note for more in-depth information about jitter
performance as it relates to ADCs.

This maximum current occurs when every output bit switches
on every clock cycle, that is, a full-scale square wave at the
Nyquist frequency, fCLK/2. In practice, the DRVDD current is
established by the average number of output bits switching,
which is determined by the sample rate and the characteristics
of the analog input signal. Reducing the capacitive load presented
to the output drivers can minimize digital power consumption.
The data in Figure 63 was taken with the same operating
conditions as the Typical Performance Characteristics, with a
5 pF load on each output driver.

By asserting the PDWN mode (either through the SPI port or
by asserting the PDWN pin high), the AD9600 is placed into
power-down mode. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates
2.5 mW. During power-down, the output drivers are placed in a
high impedance state. Asserting the PDWN pin low returns the
AD9600 to its normal operating mode. Note that PDWN is
referenced to the digital output driver supply (DRVDD) and
should not exceed that supply voltage.
When using the SPI port interface, the user can place the ADC
into power-down or standby mode. Standby mode allows the
user to keep the internal reference circuitry powered when
faster wake-up times are required. See the Memory Map
Register Description section for more details.
In CMOS output mode, the output drivers are sized to provide
sufficient output current to drive a wide variety of logic
families. However, large drive currents tend to cause current
glitches on the supplies and may affect converter performance.
Applications requiring the ADC to drive large capacitive loads
or large fanouts may require external buffers or latches.

In power-down mode, low power dissipation is achieved by
shutting down the reference, reference buffer, biasing networks,
and clock. Internal capacitors are discharged when entering
power-down mode and must be recharged when returning to
normal operation. As a result, the wake-up time is related to the
time spent in power-down mode: shorter power-down cycles
result in proportionally shorter wake-up times.

Digital Output Enable Function (OEB)
The AD9600 has a flexible three-state ability for the digital
output pins. The three-state mode can be enabled by using the
SMI SDO/OEB pin or the SPI interface. If the SMI SDO/OEB pin
is low, the output data drivers are enabled. If the SMI SDO/OEB pin
is high, the output data drivers are placed into a high impedance
state. This output enable function is not intended for rapid access
to the data bus. Note that OEB is referenced to the digital output
driver supply (DRVDD) and should not exceed that supply voltage.
When the device uses the SPI interface, each channel’s data and
fast detect output pins can be independently three-stated by
using the output enable bar bit in Register 0x14.
The length of the output data lines and the loads placed on them
should be minimized to reduce transients within the AD9600.
These transients can degrade the dynamic performance of the
converter. The lowest typical conversion rate of the AD9600 is
typically 10 MSPS. At clock rates below 10 MSPS, dynamic
performance may degrade.
Data Clock Output (DCO)
The AD9600 provides two data clock output (DCO) signals
intended for capturing the data in an external register. The data
outputs are valid on the rising edge of DCO, unless the polarity
has been changed via the SPI. See the timing diagrams shown
in Figure 2 and Figure 3 for more information.

ADC OVERRANGE AND GAIN CONTROL
In receiver applications, it is desirable to have a mechanism to
reliably determine when the converter is about to be clipped.
The standard overflow indicator provides after-the-fact information on the state of the analog input that is of limited usefulness.
Therefore, it is helpful to have a programmable threshold below
full scale that allows time to reduce the gain before the clip
actually occurs. In addition, because input signals can have
significant slew rates, latency of this function is of major concern.
Highly pipelined converters can have significant latency. A good
compromise is to use the output bits from the first stage of the
ADC for this function. Latency for these output bits is very low,
and overall resolution is not highly significant. Peak input signals
are typically between full scale and 6 dB to 10 dB below full
scale. A 3-bit or 4-bit output provides adequate range and
resolution for this function.
Via the SPI port, the user can provide a threshold above which
an overrange output would be active. As long as the signal is below
that threshold, the output should remain low. The fast detect
output pins can also be programmed via the SPI port so that one of
the pins functions as a traditional overrange pin for customers
who currently use this feature. In this mode, all 12 bits of the
converter are examined in the traditional manner, and the output is
high for the condition normally defined as overflow. In either
mode, the magnitude of the data is considered in the calculation
of the condition (but the sign of the data is not considered). The
threshold detection responds identically to positive and negative
signals outside the desired magnitude range.
FAST DETECT OVERVIEW
The AD9600 contains circuitry to facilitate fast overrange detection, allowing very flexible external gain control implementations.
Each ADC has four fast detect output pins that are used to output
information about the current state of the ADC input level. The
function of these pins is programmable via the fast detect mode
select bits and the fast detect enable bit in Register 0x104, allowing
range information to be output from several points in the internal
datapath. These pins can also be set up to indicate the presence of
overrange or underrange conditions, according to programmable
threshold levels. Table 14 shows the six configurations available
for the fast detect pins.

ADC FAST MAGNITUDE
When the fast detect output pins are configured to output the ADC
fast magnitude (that is, when the fast detect mode select bits are
set to 0b000), the information presented is the ADC level from an
early converter stage with only a two-clock-cycle latency (when
in CMOS output mode). Using the fast detect output pins in
this configuration provides the earliest possible level indication
information. Because this information is provided early in the
datapath, there is a significant uncertainty in the level indicated.
The nominal levels, along with the uncertainty indicated by the
ADC fast magnitude, are shown in Table 15.
