•
•
•
The ADC08100 is a low-power, 8-bit, monolithic
analog-to-digital converter with an on-chip track-andhold circuit. Optimized for low cost, low power, small
size and ease of use, this product operates at
conversion rates of 20 Msps to 100 Msps with
outstanding dynamic performance over its full
operating range while consuming just 1.3 mW per
MHz of clock frequency. That's just 130 mW of power
at 100 Msps. Raising the PD pin puts the ADC08100
into a Power Down mode where it consumes just 1
mW.

communications applications, including use in
portable equipment. Furthermore, the ADC08100 is
resistant to latch-up and the outputs are short-circuit
proof. The top and bottom of the ADC08100's
reference ladder are available for connections,
enabling a wide range of input possibilities. The
digital outputs are TTL/CMOS compatible with a
separate output power supply pin to support
interfacing with 3V or 2.5V logic. The digital inputs
(CLK and PD) are TTL/CMOS compatible. The output
format is straight binary
The ADC08100 is offered in a 24-lead plastic

All voltages are measured with respect to GND = AGND = DR GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see
Converter Electrical Characteristics. The ensured specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance
characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is, less than AGND or DR GND, or greater than VA or DR VD), the
current at that pin should be limited to 25 mA. The 50 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can
safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 25 mA to two.
The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150°C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by
TJmax, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula
PDMAX = (TJmax − TA) / θJA. In the 24-pin TSSOP, θJA is 92°C/W. The power consumption of this device under normal operating
conditions is far below the package limit, which will be reached only when the ADC08100 is operated in a severe fault condition (e.g.,
when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is reversed). Obviously, such
conditions should always be avoided.
Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through ZERO
Ohms.

The Electrical characteristics tables list ensured specifications under the listed Recommended Conditions except as otherwise modified
or specified by the Electrical Characteristics Conditions and/or Notes. Typical specifications are estimations for room temperature only
and are not ensured.
The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes up to VA + 300 mV or to 300 mV below GND will not
damage this device. However, errors in the A/D conversion can occur if the input goes above DR VD or below GND by more than 100
mV. For example, if VA is 2.7VDC the full-scale input voltage must be ≤2.6VDC to ensure accurate conversions.
To ensure accuracy, it is required that VA and DR VD be well bypassed. Each supply pin must be decoupled with separate bypass
capacitors.
Typical figures represent most likely parametric norms at TJ = 25°C. Test limits are ensured to TI's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality
Level).

IDR is the current consumed by the switching of the output drivers and is primarily determined by the load capacitance on the output
pins, the supply voltage, VDR, and the rate at which the outputs are switching (which is signal dependent), IDR = VDR (CO x fO + C1 x f1
+ … + C71 x f7) where VDR is the output driver power supply voltage, Cn is the total capacitance on any given output pin, and fn is the
average frequency at which that pin is toggling.

Specification Definitions
APERTURE (SAMPLING) DELAY is that time required after the fall of the clock input for the sampling switch to
open. The Sample/Hold circuit effectively stops capturing the input signal and goes into the “hold” mode tAD after
the clock goes low.
APERTURE JITTER is the variation in aperture delay from sample to sample. Aperture jitter shows up as input
noise.
BOTTOM OFFSET is the difference between the input voltage that just causes the output code to transition to
the first code and the negative reference voltage. Bottom Offset is defined as EOB = VZT – VRB, where VZT is the
first code transition input voltage. VRB is the lower reference voltage. Note that this is different from the normal
Zero Scale Error.
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that the clock waveform is at a logic high to the total time of one
clock period.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1
LSB. Measured at 100 Msps with a ramp input.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise
and Distortion Ratio, or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD – 1.76) / 6.02 and says that the converter is
equivalent to a perfect ADC of this (ENOB) number of bits.
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH is a measure of the frequency at which the reconstructed output fundamental
drops 3 dB below its low frequency value for a full scale input. The test is performed with fIN equal to 100 kHz
plus integer multiples of fCLK. The input frequency at which the output is −3 dB relative to the low frequency input
signal is the full power bandwidth.
FULL-SCALE ERROR is a measure of how far the last code transition is from the ideal 1½ LSB below VRT and
is defined as:
Vmax + 1.5 LSB – VRT
where
•
max
is the voltage at which the transition to the maximum (full scale) code occurs.
(1)
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from
zero scale (½ LSB below the first code transition) through positive full scale (½ LSB above the last code
transition). The deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured from the center of that code value.
The end point test method is used. Measured at 100 Msps with a ramp input.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is the creation of additional spectral components as a result of two
sinusoidal frequencies being applied to the ADC input at the same time. It is defined as the ratio of the power in
the second and third order intermodulation products to the power in one of the original frequencies. IMD is
usually expressed in dBFS.
MISSING CODE are those output codes that are skipped and will never appear at the ADC outputs. These
codes cannot be reached with any input value.
OUTPUT DELAY is the time delay after the rising edge of the input clock before the data update is present at the
output pins.
OUTPUT HOLD TIME is the length of time that the output data is valid after the rise of the input clock.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of clock cycles between initiation of conversion and when that data
is presented to the output driver stage. New data is available at every clock cycle, but the data lags the
conversion by the Pipeline Delay plus the Output Delay.
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the input signal at the output
to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components below one-half the sampling frequency, not
including harmonics or DC.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/(N+D) or SINAD) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of
the input signal at the output to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below half the clock
frequency, including harmonics but excluding D.C.

SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the rms values of the
input signal at the output and the peak spurious signal, where a spurious signal is any signal present in the
output spectrum that is not present at the input.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the total of the first nine harmonic
levels at the output to the level of the fundamental at the output. THD is calculated as
where
•
where F1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (input) frequency and f2 through f10 is the power in the first 9
harmonics in the output spectrum.
(2)
ZERO SCALE OFFSET ERROR is the error in the input voltage required to cause the first code transition. It is
defined as
VOFF = VZT − VRB
where
•
where VZT is the first code transition input voltage.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ADC08100 uses a new, unique architecture that achieves over 7 effective bits at input frequencies up to and
beyond 50 MHz.
The analog input signal that is within the voltage range set by VRT and VRB is digitized to eight bits. Input voltages
below VRB will cause the output word to consist of all zeroes. Input voltages above VRB will cause the output
word to consist of all ones.
Incorporating a switched capacitor bandgap, the ADC08100 exhibits a power consumption that is proportional to
frequency, limiting power consumption to what is needed at the clock rate that is used. This and its excellent
performance over a wide range of clock frequencies makes it an ideal choice as a single ADC for many 8-bit
needs.
Data is acquired at the falling edge of the clock and the digital equivalent of that data is available at the digital
outputs 2.5 clock cycles plus tOD later. The ADC08100 will convert as long as the clock signal is present. The
output coding is straight binary.
The device is in the active state when the Power Down pin (PD) is low. When the PD pin is high, the device is in
the power down mode, where the output pins hold the last conversion before the PD pin went high and the
device consumes just 1 mW.
Applications Information
REFERENCE INPUTS
The reference inputs VRT and VRB are the top and bottom of the reference ladder, respectively. Input signals
between these two voltages will be digitized to 8 bits. External voltages applied to the reference input pins should
be within the range specified in Operating Ratings. Any device used to drive the reference pins should be able to
source sufficient current into the VRT pin and sink sufficient current from the VRB pin.
The reference bias circuit of Figure 30 is very simple and the performance is adequate for many applications.
However, circuit tolerances will lead to a wide reference voltage range. Superior performance can generally be
achieved by driving the reference pins with low impedance sources.
The circuit of Figure 31 will allow a more accurate setting of the reference voltages. The upper amplifier must be
able to source the reference current as determined by the value of the reference resistor and the value of (VRT −
VRB). The lower amplifier must be able to sink this reference current. Both should be stable with a capacitive
load. The LM8272 was chosen because of its rail-to-rail input and output capability, its high current output and its
ability to drive large capacitance loads.
The divider resistors at the inputs to the amplifiers could be changed to suit the application reference voltage
needs, or the divider can be replaced with potentiometers or DACs for precise settings. The bottom of the ladder
(VRB) may be returned to ground if the minimum input signal excursion is 0V.
VRT should always be more positive than VRB by the minimum VRT - VRB difference in the Electrical
Characteristics table to minimize noise. Furthermore, the difference between VRT and VRB should not exceed the
maximum value specified in Converter Electrical Characteristics to avoid signal distortion.
The VRM pin is the center of the reference ladder and should be bypassed to a clean, quiet point in the analog
ground plane with a 0.1 µF capacitor. DO NOT allow this pin to float.

THE ANALOG INPUT
The analog input of the ADC08100 is a switch followed by an integrator. The input capacitance changes with the
clock level, appearing as 3 pF when the clock is low, and 4 pF when the clock is high. The sampling nature of
the analog input causes current spikes at the input that result in voltage spikes there. Any amplifier used to drive
the analog input must be able to settle within the clock high time. The LMH6702 and the LMH6628 have been
found to be good amplifiers to drive the ADC08100.
Figure 32 shows an example of an input circuit using the LMH6702. Any input amplifier should incorporate some
gain as operational amplifiers exhibit better phase margin and transient response with gains above 2 or 3 than
with unity gain. If an overall gain of less than 3 is required, attenuate the input and operate the amplifier at a
higher gain, as shown in Figure 32.

Figure 32. The Input Amplifier Should Incorporate Some Gain for Best Performance (see text)
The RC at the amplifier output filters the clock rate energy that comes out of the analog input due to the input
sampling circuit. The optimum time constant for this circuit depends not only upon the amplifier and ADC, but
also on the circuit layout and board material. A resistor value should be chosen between 18Ω and 47Ω and the
capacitor value chose according to the formula:
(4)
The value of "C" in the formula above should include the ADC input capacitance when the clock is high.
This will provide optimum SNR performance for Nyquist applications. Best THD performance is realized when the
capacitor and resistor values are both zero, but this would compromise SNR and SINAD performance. Generally,
there should be no resistor or capacitor between the ADC input and any amplifier for undersampling applications.
The circuit of Figure 32 has both gain and offset adjustments. If you eliminate these adjustments normal circuit
tolerances may cause signal clipping unless care is exercised in the worst case analysis of component tolerance
and the input signal excursion is appropriately limited to account for the worst case conditions. Of course, this
means that the designer will not be able to depend upon getting a full scale output with maximum signal input.
Full scale and offset adjustments may also be made by adjusting VRT and VRB, perhaps with the aid of a pair of
DACs.

POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
A/D converters draw sufficient transient current to corrupt their own power supplies if not adequately bypassed. A
10 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed within an inch (2.5 cm) of the A/D power
pins, with a 0.1 µF ceramic chip capacitor placed within one centimeter of the converter's power supply pins.
Leadless chip capacitors are preferred because they have low lead inductance.
While a single voltage source is recommended for the VA and DR VD supplies of the ADC08100, these supply
pins should be well isolated from each other to prevent any digital noise from being coupled into the analog
portions of the ADC. A choke or 27Ω resistor is recommended between these supply lines with adequate bypass
capacitors close to the supply pins.
As is the case with all high speed converters, the ADC08100 should be assumed to have little power supply
rejection. None of the supplies for the converter should be the supply that is used for other digital circuitry in any
system with a lot of digital power being consumed. The ADC supplies should be the same supply used for other
analog circuitry.
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of the supply voltage or below ground by more than 300
mV, not even on a transient basis. This can be a problem upon application of power and power shut-down. Be
sure that the supplies to circuits driving any of the input pins, analog or digital, do not come up any faster than
does the voltage at the ADC08100 power pins.
THE DIGITAL INPUT PINS
The ADC08100 has two digital input pins: The PD pin and the Clock pin.
The PD Pin
The Power Down (PD) pin, when high, puts the ADC08100 into a low power mode where power consumption is
reduced to 1 mW. Output data is valid and accurate about 1 microsecond after the PD pin is brought low.
The digital output pins retain the last conversion output code when either the clock is stopped or the PD pin is
high.
The ADC08100 Clock
Although the ADC08100 is tested and its performance is ensured with a 100 MHz clock, it typically will function
well with clock frequencies from 20 MHz to 125 MHz.
Halting the clock will provide nearly as much power saving as raising the PD pin high. Typical power
consumption with a stopped clock is 3 mW, compared to 1 mW when PD is high. The digital outputs will remain
in the same state as they were before the clock was halted.
Once the clock is restored (or the PD pin is brought low), there is a time of about 1 microsecond before the
output data is valid. However, because of the linear relationship between total power consumption and clock
frequency, the part requires about one microsecond after the clock is restarted or substantially changed in
frequency before the part returns to its specified accuracy.
The low and high times of the clock signal can affect the performance of any A/D Converter. Because achieving
a precise duty cycle is difficult, the ADC08100 is designed to maintain performance over a range of duty cycles.
While it is specified and performance is ensured with a 50% clock duty cycle and 100 Msps, ADC08100
performance is typically maintained with clock high and low times of 2 ns, corresponding to a clock duty cycle
range of 20% to 80% with a 100 MHz clock. Note that the clock high and low times of 2 ns may not be asserted
together.
The CLOCK line should be series terminated at the clock source in the characteristic impedance of that line. If
the clock line is longer than

FR-4 board material. For FR-4 board material, the value of C becomes

L is the length of the clock line in inches.
(7)
LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essential to ensure accurate conversion. A combined
analog and digital ground plane should be used.
Since digital switching transients are composed largely of high frequency components, total ground plane copper
weight will have little effect upon the logic-generated noise because of the skin effect. Total surface area is more
important than is total ground plane volume. Capacitive coupling between the typically noisy digital circuitry and
the sensitive analog circuitry can lead to poor performance that may seem impossible to isolate and remedy. The
solution is to keep the analog circuitry well separated from the digital circuitry.
High power digital components should not be located on or near a straight line between the ADC or any linear
component and the power supply area as the resulting common return current path could cause fluctuation in the
analog input “ground” return of the ADC.
The DR Gnd connection to the ground plane should not use the same feedthrough use by other ground
connections.
Generally, analog and digital lines should cross each other at 90° to avoid getting digital noise into the analog
path. In high frequency systems, however, avoid crossing analog and digital lines altogether. Clock lines should
be isolated from ALL other lines, analog AND digital. Even the generally accepted 90° crossing should be
avoided as even a little coupling can cause problems at high frequencies. Best performance at high frequencies
is obtained with a straight signal path.
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input.
Any external component (e.g., a filter capacitor) connected between the converter's input and ground should be
connected to a very clean point in the analog ground plane.

Figure 33 gives an example of a suitable layout. All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, reference
components, etc.) should be placed together away from any digital components.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The ADC08100 is AC tested and its dynamic performance is ensured. To meet the published specifications, the
clock source driving the CLK input must exhibit less than 3 ps (rms) of jitter. For best AC performance, isolating
the ADC clock from any digital circuitry should be done with adequate buffers, as with a clock tree. See
Figure 34.
It is good practice to keep the ADC clock line as short as possible and to keep it well away from any other
signals. Other signals can introduce jitter into the clock signal. The clock signal can also introduce noise into the
analog path.
Figure 34. Isolating the ADC Clock from Digital Circuitry
COMMON APPLICATION PITFALLS
Driving the inputs (analog or digital) beyond the power supply rails. For proper operation, all inputs should
not go more than 300 mV below the ground pins or 300 mV above the supply pins. Exceeding these limits on
even a transient basis may cause faulty or erratic operation. It is not uncommon for high speed digital circuits
(e.g., 74F and 74AC devices) to exhibit undershoot that goes more than a volt below ground. A 51Ω resistor in
series with the offending digital input will usually eliminate the problem.
Care should be taken not to overdrive the inputs of the ADC08100. Such practice may lead to conversion
inaccuracies and even to device damage.
Attempting to drive a high capacitance digital data bus. The more capacitance the output drivers must
charge for each conversion, the more instantaneous digital current is required from DR VD and DR GND. These
large charging current spikes can couple into the analog section, degrading dynamic performance. Buffering the
digital data outputs (with a 74F541, for example) may be necessary if the data bus capacitance exceeds 10 pF.
Dynamic performance can also be improved by adding 100Ω series resistors at each digital output, reducing the
energy coupled back into the converter input pins.
Using an inadequate amplifier to drive the analog input. As explained in THE ANALOG INPUT, the
capacitance seen at the input alternates between 3 pF and 4 pF with the clock. This dynamic capacitance is
more difficult to drive than is a fixed capacitance, and should be considered when choosing a driving device. The
LMH6702 and the LMH6628 have been found to be good devices for driving the ADC08100.
Driving the VRT pin or the VRB pin with devices that can not source or sink the current required by the
ladder. As mentioned in REFERENCE INPUTS, care should be taken to see that any driving devices can source
sufficient current into the VRT pin and sink sufficient current from the VRB pin. If these pins are not driven with
devices than can handle the required current, these reference pins will not be stable, resulting in a reduction of
dynamic performance.
Using a clock source with excessive jitter, using an excessively long clock signal trace, or having other
signals coupled to the clock signal trace. This will cause the sampling interval to vary, causing excessive
output noise and a reduction in SNR performance. The use of simple gates with RC timing is generally
inadequate as a clock source.
