General Description
The HMCAD5831LP9BE is a wideband 3-bit analogto-digital converter with over/under range bit. The
converter operates at typical speeds of up to 26
GSPS under typical conditions with a Nyquist input.
Reference ladder end voltages are set externally by
the user allowing the user to customize input common
mode and swing levels. ADC outputs can be forced to
0 by using the Data Inhibit function. Output data can be
modulated by an external clock via the XOR CML input.
The HMCAD5831LP9BE also features a 1:2 demux
with half rate clock output. The output bits are binary
weighted, where X2 and Y2 are the MSBs. The singleended RF input can be AC or DC coupled and supports
broadband operation.
The HMCAD5831LP9BE operates from -5V and -3.3V
supplies and is available in ROHS-compliant 9 x 9 mm
SMT package.

Note 1: Upon each power-up, the OCLK signal’s relationship with the CK input clock may be one of two possibilities, shown above as Case 1 and
Case 2. Therefore, in reference to the OCLK phase, the earlier data samples may be on the X or Y bus. The OCLK’s phase relationship with
the X and Y data busses is fixed: the X data bus always changes with the rising edge of OCLK and the Y bus with the falling edge.
Note 2: Latency = 1.5 sampling clock cycles + subcycle fixed delay.

the desired full-scale range of the ADC. The RF signal input (pin 8, IN) to the ADC, which is nominally centered at
0V (AGND), drives an internal emitter follower with a nominal VBE of -936 mV. Hence the center of full-scale range
should center near -936 mV. The voltage at pin RTF is then -936 mV + Vfull-scale/2. Likewise the voltage at pin RBF is
-936 mV - Vfull-scale/2.
As an example, if the user had a peak-to-peak input voltage swing of 256 mV centered at 0V and required the full-scale
input range of the ADC to be 256 mV as well, RTF would be -936 mV + 128 mV = -772 mV. RBF would be -936 mV - 128 mV =
-1.028V. Note that the diode drop, -936 mV, is dependent on temperature and process variations. RTF and RBF values
in the “Electrical Specifications” table on pages 1 and 2 are shown as nominal values only.
Input Signal
The RF input is internally terminated with 50 Ohms to AGND, which should be the system RF ground. Normally, the
input signal is expected to have a common-mode point at this 0V point. Because this device allows the user to set the
top and bottom voltages of the reference ladder inside the device, the user has significant flexibility in adjusting the
ADC span and thus the full-scale signal amplitude as well as the input signal’s common-mode point.
However, it is very important to notice that there are absolute voltage level limits on the peak input signal voltage.
These are indicated in the Operating Conditions table in this document. For proper operation of the device, the input
signal must never swing higher than the Vinput-max or lower than Vinput-min voltages indicated in the Operating
Conditions table.
The user is cautioned to also pay attention to the Absolute Maximum Ratings table as it lists the maximum input
voltage beyond which damage to the device will result.
VREF Pins
Pins 26 and 55 (VREF1 and VREF2) should be connected together off chip and the pair is then connected to the
OGND through a resistor. These pins are used to vary the output swing voltage. The Application Circuit shown uses
a 200 Ω resistor. This provides the typical output swings listed in the Electrical Specifications table. Increasing the
voltage on VREF1 and VREF2 will increase the output swing. Conversely, decreasing the VREF1 and VREF2 voltages
will decrease the output swing.
Overrange Output
Pins 28, 29, 31, and 32 provide overrange output bits. This function indicates when the input signal is out of range of
the reference ladder voltages. The bit will be high when either the signal is above RTF or below RBF. The overrange
bit is cleared for the next clock cycle containing in-range data.
Data Inhibit
All data outputs can be forced to “0” by enabling the Data Inhibit function (pins 61 and 62). By driving the QTP pin high
and the QTN pin low, the ADC core will produce all 0s. This occurs prior to the XOR function and the demux. When
QTP is low and QTN is high, the chip operates normally, and these inputs must be set this way for normal operation.

Data XOR
All data outputs from the ADC core can be modulated by an external source. This allows the user to use AC coupling
for output line connection to a SERDES input of an FPGA. This function occurs prior to the demux. The XOR input
signal is retimed by the full rate internal clock and requires low jitter and suitable rise and fall times. Please contact
Hittite Microwave for sample driver circuits. Typical modulation frequencies are 100 MHz to 300 MHz. For a square
wave signal, a multiple of two divisor of the full rate internal clock should be used, e.g. 1/128th or 1/64th of the ADC
clock. Due to the nature of the retiming scheme, the demux channel relationship timing can vary. This is dependent
on when the XOR input is sampled relative to the full rate internal clock. See timing diagrams on page 5. For example,
a nominal setup may have demux side X leading and side Y trailing. If the XOR input is shifted relative to the internal
clock, side Y may lead and side X may trail. It is highly recommended that a variable delay be used to adjust the phase
of the XOR input to avoid transitions that are very close to internal clock edges. See Typical Operation Example for
more information. The XOR function can be used with the Data Inhibit function to produce a sync pattern for aligning
the lanes of SERDES inputs. The device outputs are inverted when XOR is low.
Evaluation Board Description
EVAL01-HMC5831LP9 (131498-3) demonstrates the HMCAD5831LP9BE in an environment ready to be connected
to an FPGA. Along with the ADC, the board features three other Hittite Microwave components. The clock output of
the ADC is divided down by 32 (a stage of 8 and a stage of 4, U1, and U2) to produce a clock output that is 1/64th
of the ADC clock input. This clock is available to drive the FPGA or other system components. The ADC XOR input
has programmable delay (U4) allowing the user to fine-tune the XOR clock edges going into the ADC. The INHIBIT
and D8BX inputs are 0 to +3.3V, compatible with most FPGAs. Finally, the ADC_VR pin allows the user to control
the output voltage swing of the ADC. Output connectors J2 and J3 are high-performance SAMTEC connectors, part
number ERF8-013-05.0-DV.

Application Information (continued)
Ten-Level Operation
The HMCAD5831LP9BE can be used as a ten-level (3.32 bits) ADC by combining the regular data outputs with the
Overrange Bit. The bottom code (code 0) is equal to OVR high and all the bits low. For codes 1 through 8, the ADC
functions normally (with OVR low). The top code, code 9, is all bits high. Note that the INL/DNL plots include OVR in
this manner.

Application Information (continued)
Typical Operation Example
When using the device evaluation board, high-quality signal generator equipment must be used that provides low
enough broadband phase noise to support the SNR specifications of this device at the very high signal frequencies.
The reference ladder voltages should be provided with stable, linear power supplies. As a starting point, it is
recommended that the RTF and RBF voltage should be set to -772 mV and -1.028V, as described in the Reference
Ladder subsection. The input signal can then be provided with the appropriate signal generator with 50 Ohm, singleended output that is ac-coupled into the eval board’s SMA connector. The signal generator output strength should be
set at a low level such as -20 dBm before the output is enabled. The signal level can then be increased gradually as
required, but never beyond the 256 mV full-scale swing that had been selected in this example. The Clock input can
similarly be provided with an RF signal generator or a Hittite PLL/VCO device evaluation board, provided that the CKN
input is set at the common-mode point – 0 V (AGND) in this case. Although higher amplitudes are possible, initially
the user should keep the clock signal strength at -3 dBm or less. And, of course, care should be taken with the clock
input as well to not overload the ADC.
An FPGA with suitably fast SERDES inputs can capture data from the HMCAD5831LP9BE using the following routine.
The FPGA produces an INHIBIT high signal causing the ADC core to produce all 0s. The XOR input to the ADC runs
at a slow clock rate and modulates the ADC output to produce a known waveform at the FPGA inputs. The FPGA then
uses these signals to align the lanes. When the lanes are aligned, the INHIBIT signal goes low and the ADC produces
signal data that continues to be modulated by the XOR input. The FPGA then corrects for the modulation. Note that
the FPGA can generate the XOR modulation signal (in which case a PRBS sequence could be used). Depending on
the phase of the XOR input modulation waveform, either demux output (X or Y) can be the leading data sample. In this
case, the FPGA would need to resolve which lane is the leader. This can be accomplished by driving the ADC with a
known signal, evaluating the outputs and reassembling FPGA data if necessary. It is recommended to do this on each
power-up. It is also recommended to perform a routine to ensure that the XOR input waveform is properly aligned with
the internal clock. This can be accomplished by sweeping the external variable delay stage.
Operation Over Full Temperature Range
The device typically consumes 4.2 watts power and thus requires careful thermal design at the system level. A heat
sink of at least 25 cm^2 surface area is required under all conditions. Most of the device heat dissipation occurs on
the bottom side of the package. The package has a thermal paddle on the bottom side. The PCB design must solder
this paddle through a grid of several thermal vias to a metal pad on the bottom side of the PCB where the heat sink
should be attached. In addition, the AVEE pins of the device and the paddle must be connected to the negative
-5V supply plane. It is highly recommended that some manner of additional cooling technique should be employed in
order to maximize the ambient temperature range of the device’s operation.
The Electrical Specifications section lists only the performance parameters at +25 °C temperature. The performance
diminishes as temperature increases. On the device evaluation board, in Hittite lab settings with minimal air flow, a
temperature rise of 18-20 °C was observed between the ambient temperature and the thermal pad at the bottom of
the PCB. The ultimate limit to the device’s temperature capabilities is the maximum junction temperature specified in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in this document. The thermal resistance from the device junction to the device
thermal paddle is specified in the Thermal Information table. With this information and knowledge of the system’s
heat dissipation capabilities from the PCB pad to the ambient, one can determine the ambient temperature range the
device can support.
Based on data taken on the device evaluation board under Hittite’s lab conditions, it is believed that 22 GS/s maximum
speed can be expected across the temperature range of -40 °C and +85 °C with reasonable system thermal design.
