Description
The 12-bit 1.8 GSPS ADC12D1800RF is an RF-sampling GSPS ADC that can directly sample input
frequencies up to and above 2.7 GHz. The ADC12D1800RF augments the very large Nyquist zone of TI’s
GSPS ADCs with excellent noise and linearity performance at RF frequencies, extending its usable range
beyond the 3rd Nyquist zone.
The ADC12D1800RF provides a flexible LVDS interface which has multiple SPI programmable options to
facilitate board design and FPGA/ASIC data capture. The LVDS outputs are compatible with IEEE 1596.31996 and supports programmable common mode voltage. The product is packaged in a lead-free 292-ball
thermally enhanced BGA package over the rated industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
To achieve the full rated performance for Fclk > 1.6 GHz, it is necessary to write the max power
settings once to Register 6h via the Serial Interface; see Section 5.6.1, Register Definitions, for
more information.

NAME
EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT
Differential signal I- and Q-inputs. In the Non-Dual
Edge Sampling (Non-DES) Mode, each I- and Qinput is sampled and converted by its respective
channel with each positive transition of the CLK
input. In Non-ECM (Non-Extended Control Mode)
and DES Mode, both channels sample the I-input.
In Extended Control Mode (ECM), the Q-input
may optionally be selected for conversion in DES
Mode by the DEQ Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 6).

VA
50k
Each I- and Q-channel input has an internal
common mode bias that is disabled when DCcoupled Mode is selected. Both inputs must be
either AC- or DC-coupled. The coupling mode is
selected by the VCMO Pin.
In Non-ECM, the full-scale range of these inputs is
determined by the FSR Pin; both I- and Qchannels have the same full-scale input range. In
ECM, the full-scale input range of the I- and Qchannel inputs may be independently set via the
Control Register (Addr: 3h and Addr: Bh).

The input offset may also be adjusted in ECM.

Differential DCLK Reset. A positive pulse on this
input is used to reset the DCLKI and DCLKQ
outputs of two or more ADC12D1800RFs in order
to synchronize them with other ADC12D1800RFs
in the system. DCLKI and DCLKQ are always in
phase with each other, unless one channel is
powered down, and do not require a pulse from
DCLK_RST to become synchronized. The pulse
applied here must meet timing relationships with
respect to the CLK input. Although supported, this
feature has been superseded by AutoSync.

Common Mode Voltage Output or Signal Coupling
Select. If AC-coupled operation at the analog
inputs is desired, this pin should be held at logiclow level. This pin is capable of sourcing/ sinking
up to 100 µA. For DC-coupled operation, this pin
should be left floating or terminated into highimpedance. In DC-coupled Mode, this pin provides
an output voltage which is the optimal commonmode voltage for the input signal and should be
used to set the common-mode voltage of the
driving buffer.
Bandgap Voltage Output or LVDS Common-mode
Voltage Select. This pin provides a buffered
version of the bandgap output voltage and is
capable of sourcing / sinking 100 uA and driving a
load of up to 80 pF. Alternately, this pin may be
used to select the LVDS digital output commonmode voltage. If tied to logic-high, the 1.2V LVDS

Reference Clock Output 1 and 2. These signals
provide a reference clock at a rate of CLK/4, when
enabled, independently of whether the ADC is in
Master or Slave Mode. They are used to drive the
RCLK of another ADC12D1800RF, to enable
automatic synchronization for multiple ADCs
(AutoSync feature). The impedance of each trace
from RCOut1 and RCOut2 to the RCLK of another
ADC12D1800RF should be 100Ω differential.
Having two clock outputs allows the autosynchronization to propagate as a binary tree. Use

DESCRIPTION
Dual Edge Sampling (DES) Mode select. In the
Non-Extended Control Mode (Non-ECM), when
this input is set to logic-high, the DES Mode of
operation is selected, meaning that the VinI input
is sampled by both channels in a time-interleaved
manner. The VinQ input is ignored. When this
input is set to logic-low, the device is in Non-DES
Mode, i.e. the I- and Q-channels operate
independently. In the Extended Control Mode
(ECM), this input is ignored and DES Mode
selection is controlled through the Control Register
by the DES Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 7); default is NonDES Mode operation.

DESCRIPTION
Calibration cycle initiate. The user can command
the device to execute a self-calibration cycle by
holding this input high a minimum of tCAL_H after
having held it low a minimum of tCAL_L. If this input
is held high at the time of power-on, the automatic
power-on calibration cycle is inhibited until this
input is cycled low-then-high. This pin is active in
both ECM and Non-ECM. In ECM, this pin is
logically OR'd with the CAL Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 15)
in the Control Register. Therefore, both pin and bit
must be set low and then either can be set high to
execute an on-command calibration.

Power Down I- and Q-channel. Setting either input

respective I- or Q-channel to an operational state
after a finite time delay. This pin is active in both
ECM and Non-ECM. In ECM, each Pin is logically
OR'd with its respective Bit. Therefore, either this
pin or the PDI and PDQ Bit in the Control Register
can be used to power-down the I- and Q-channel

DESCRIPTION
Full-Scale input Range select. In Non-ECM, this
input must be set to logic-high; the full-scale
differential input range for both I- and Q-channel
inputs is set by this pin. In the ECM, this input is
ignored and the full-scale range of the I- and Qchannel inputs is independently determined by the
setting of Addr: 3h and Addr: Bh, respectively.
Note that the logic-high FSR value in Non-ECM
corresponds to the minimum allowed selection in
ECM.
DDR Phase select. This input, when logic-low,
selects the 0° Data-to-DCLK phase relationship.
When logic-high, it selects the 90° Data-to-DCLK
phase relationship, i.e. the DCLK transition
indicates the middle of the valid data outputs. This
pin only has an effect when the chip is in 1:2
Demuxed Mode, i.e. the NDM pin is set to logiclow. In ECM, this input is ignored and the DDR

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. There is no specification of operation at the
Absolute Maximum Ratings. Recommended Operating Conditions indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not
ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see the 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.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND = GNDTC = GNDDR = GNDE = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply limits, i.e. less than GND or greater than VA, the current at that pin should
be limited to 50 mA. In addition, over-voltage at a pin must adhere to the maximum voltage limits. Simultaneous over-voltage at multiple
pins requires adherence to the maximum package power dissipation limits. These dissipation limits are calculated using JEDEC
JESD51-7 thermal model. Higher dissipation may be possible based on specific customer thermal situation and specified package
thermal resistances from junction to case.

To ensure accuracy, it is required that VA, VTC, VE and VDR be well-bypassed. Each supply pin must be decoupled with separate bypass
capacitors.
Typical figures are at TA = 25°C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are specified to TI's AOQL (Average Outgoing
Quality Level).
Calculation of Full-Scale Error for this device assumes that the actual reference voltage is exactly its nominal value. Full-Scale Error for
this device, therefore, is a combination of Full-Scale Error and Reference Voltage Error. See Figure 4-1. For relationship between Gain
Error and Full-Scale Error, see Specification Definitions for Gain Error.
This parameter is specified by design and is not tested in production.

This parameter is specified by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.
The -3 dB point is the traditional Full-Power Bandwidth (FPBW) specification. Although the insertion loss is approximately half the power
at this frequency, the dynamic performance of the ADC does not necessarily begin to degrade to a level below which it may be
effectively used in an application. The ADC may be used at input frequencies above the -3 dB FPBW point, for example, into the 3rd
Nyquist zone. Depending on system requirements, it is only necessary to compensate for the insertion loss.

These measurements were taken in Extended Control Mode (ECM) with the DES Timing Adjust feature enabled (Addr: 7h). This feature
is used to reduce the interleaving timing spur amplitude, which occurs at fs/2-fin, and thereby increase the SFDR, SINAD and ENOB.

5 Detailed Description
5.1
Overview
The ADC12D1800RF is a versatile A/D converter with an innovative architecture which permits very high
speed operation. The controls available ease the application of the device to circuit solutions. Optimum
performance requires adherence to the provisions discussed here and in the Section 6.1 section. This
section covers an overview, a description of control modes (Extended Control Mode and Non-Extended
Control Mode), and features.
The ADC12D1800RF uses a calibrated folding and interpolating architecture that achieves a high Effective
Number of Bits (ENOB). The use of folding amplifiers greatly reduces the number of comparators and
power consumption. Interpolation reduces the number of front-end amplifiers required, minimizing the load
on the input signal and further reducing power requirements. In addition to correcting other non-idealities,
on-chip calibration reduces the INL bow often seen with folding architectures. The result is an extremely
fast, high performance, low power converter.
The analog input signal (which is within the converter's input voltage range) is digitized to twelve bits at
speeds of 150 MSPS to 3.6 GSPS, typical. Differential input voltages below negative full-scale will cause
the output word to consist of all zeroes. Differential input voltages above positive full-scale will cause the
output word to consist of all ones. Either of these conditions at the I- or Q-input will cause the Out-ofRange I-channel or Q-channel output (ORI or ORQ), respectively, to output a logic-high signal.
In ECM, an expanded feature set is available via the Serial Interface. The ADC12D1800RF builds upon
previous architectures, introducing a new DES Mode Timing Adjust, AutoSync feature for multi-chip
synchronization and increasing to 15-bit for gain and 12-bit plus sign for offset the independent
programmable adjustment for each channel.
Each channel has a selectable output demultiplexer which feeds two LVDS buses. If the 1:2 Demux Mode
is selected, the output data rate is reduced to half the input sample rate on each bus. When Non-Demux
Mode is selected, the output data rate on each channel is at the same rate as the input sample clock and
only one 12-bit bus per channel is active.

The -3 dB point is the traditional Full-Power Bandwidth (FPBW) specification. Although the insertion loss is approximately half the power
at this frequency, the dynamic performance of the ADC does not necessarily begin to degrade to a level below which it may be
effectively used in an application. The ADC may be used at input frequencies above the -3 dB FPBW point, for example, into the 3rd
Nyquist zone. Depending on system requirements, it is only necessary to compensate for the insertion loss.

Sampling Clock Phase Adjust cannot be used in DES mode (DESI, DESQ, DESIQ or DESCLKIQ) at CLK frequencies above 1600 MHz.
5.3.1
Input Control and Adjust
There are several features and configurations for the input of the ADC12D1800RF so that it may be used
in many different applications. This section covers AC/DC-coupled Mode, input full-scale range adjust,
input offset adjust, DES/Non-DES Mode, DES Timing Adjust, and sampling clock phase adjust.
5.3.1.1
AC/DC-coupled Mode
The analog inputs may be AC or DC-coupled. See Section 5.5.1.1.10 for information on how to select the
desired mode and Section 6.1.1.7 and Section 6.1.1.6 for applications information.

5.3.1.2
SNAS518J – JULY 2011 – REVISED JULY 2015
Input Full-Scale Range Adjust
The input full-scale range for the ADC12D1800RF may be adjusted in ECM. In Non-ECM, the control pin
must be set to logic-high; see Section 5.5.1.1.9. In ECM, the input full-scale range may be adjusted with
15-bits of precision. See VIN_FSR in Section 4.7 for electrical specification details. Note that the full-scale
input range setting in Non-ECM (logic-high only) corresponds to the lowest full-scale input range settings
in ECM. It is necessary to execute an on-command calibration following a change of the input full-scale
range. See Section 5.6.1 for information about the registers.
5.3.1.3
Input Offset Adjust
The input offset adjust for the ADC12D1800RF may be adjusted with 12-bits of precision plus sign via
ECM. See Section 5.6.1 for information about the registers.
5.3.1.4
DES Timing Adjust
The performance of the ADC12D1800RF in DES Mode depends on how well the two channels are
interleaved, i.e. that the clock samples either channel with precisely a 50% duty-cycle, each channel has
the same offset (nominally code 2047/2048), and each channel has the same full-scale range. The
ADC12D1800RF includes an automatic clock phase background adjustment in DES Mode to automatically
and continuously adjust the clock phase of the I- and Q-channels. In addition to this, the residual fixed
timing skew offset may be further manually adjusted, and further reduce timing spurs for specific
applications. See the Table 5-17 (Addr: 7h). As the DES Timing Adjust is programmed from 0d to 127d,
the magnitude of the Fs/2-Fin timing interleaving spur will decrease to a local minimum and then increase
again. The default, nominal setting of 64d may or may not coincide with this local minimum. The user may
manually skew the global timing to achieve the lowest possible timing interleaving spur.
5.3.1.5
Sampling Clock Phase (Aperture) Delay Adjust
NOTE
Sampling Clock Phase Adjust cannot be used in DES mode (DESI, DESQ, DESIQ or
DESCLKIQ) at CLK frequencies above 1600 MHz.
The sampling clock (CLK) phase may be delayed internally to the ADC up to 825 ps in ECM. This feature
is intended to help the system designer remove small imbalances in clock distribution traces at the board
level when multiple ADCs are used, or to simplify complex system functions such as beam steering for
phase array antennas.
Additional delay in the clock path also creates additional jitter when using the sampling clock phase adjust.
Because the sampling clock phase adjust delays all clocks, including the DCLKs and output data, the user
is strongly advised to use the minimal amount of adjustment and verify the net benefit of this feature in his
system before relying on it.
Using this feature at its maximum setting, for the maximum sampling clock rate, may affect the integrity of
the sampling clock on chip. Therefore, it is not recommended to do so. The maximum setting for the
coarse adjust is 825ps. The period for the maximum sampling clock rate of is 555ps, so it should not be
necessary to exceed this value in any case.
5.3.2
Output Control and Adjust
There are several features and configurations for the output of the ADC12D1800RF so that it may be used
in many different applications. This section covers DDR clock phase, LVDS output differential and
common-mode voltage, output formatting, Demux/Non-demux Mode, Test Pattern Mode, and Time Stamp.

SDR / DDR Clock
The ADC12D1800RF output data can be delivered in Double Data Rate (DDR) or Single Data Rate
(SDR). For DDR, the DCLK frequency is half the data rate and data is sent to the outputs on both edges
of DCLK; see Figure 5-3. The DCLK-to-Data phase relationship may be either 0° or 90°. For 0° Mode, the
Data transitions on each edge of the DCLK. Any offset from this timing is tOSK; see Section 4.13 for
details. For 90° Mode, the DCLK transitions in the middle of each Data cell. Setup and hold times for this
transition, tSU and tH, may also be found in Section 4.13. The DCLK-to-Data phase relationship may be
selected via the DDRPh Pin in Non-ECM (see Section 5.5.1.1.3) or the DPS bit in the Configuration
Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 14) in ECM. Note that for Non-Demux Mode, 90° DDR Mode is not available.

For SDR, the DCLK frequency is the same as the data rate and data is sent to the outputs on a single
edge of DCLK; see Figure 5-4. The Data may transition on either rising or falling edge of DCLK. Any offset
from this timing is tOSK; see Section 4.13 for details. The DCLK rising / falling edge may be selected via
the SDR bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 2) in ECM only. Note that SDR is available in
Demux Mode, but not in Non-Demux Mode.

LVDS Output Differential Voltage
The ADC12D1800RF is available with a selectable higher or lower LVDS output differential voltage. This
parameter is VOD and may be found in Section 4.11. The desired voltage may be selected via the OVS Bit
(Addr: 0h, Bit 13). For many applications, in which the LVDS outputs are very close to an FPGA on the
same board, for example, the lower setting is sufficient for good performance; this will also reduce the
possibility for EMI from the LVDS outputs to other signals on the board. See Section 5.6.1 for more
information.
5.3.2.3
LVDS Output Common-Mode Voltage
The ADC12D1800RF is available with a selectable higher or lower LVDS output common-mode voltage.
This parameter is VOS and may be found in Section 4.11. See Section 5.5.1.1.11 for information on how to
select the desired voltage.

Output Formatting
The formatting at the digital data outputs may be either offset binary or two's complement. The default
formatting is offset binary, but two's complement may be selected via the 2SC Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 4); see
Section 5.6.1 for more information.
5.3.2.5
Test Pattern Mode
The ADC12D1800RF can provide a test pattern at the four output buses independently of the input signal
to aid in system debug. In Test Pattern Mode, the ADC is disengaged and a test pattern generator is
connected to the outputs, including ORI and ORQ. The test pattern output is the same in DES Mode or
Non-DES Mode. Each port is given a unique 12-bit word, alternating between 1's and 0's. When the part is
programmed into the Demux Mode, the test pattern’s order is described in Table 5-2. If the I- or Q-channel
is powered down, the test pattern will not be output for that channel.

5.3.2.6
www.ti.com
Time Stamp
The Time Stamp feature enables the user to capture the timing of an external trigger event, relative to the
sampled signal. When enabled via the TSE Bit (Addr: 0h; Bit: 3), the LSB of the digital outputs (DQd, DQ,
DId, DI) captures the trigger information. In effect, the 12-bit converter becomes an 11-bit converter and
the LSB acts as a 1-bit converter with the same latency as the 11-bit converter. The trigger should be
applied to the DCLK_RST input. It may be asynchronous to the ADC sampling clock.
5.3.3
Calibration Feature
The ADC12D1800RF calibration must be run to achieve specified performance. The calibration procedure
is exactly the same regardless of how it was initiated or when it is run. Calibration trims the analog input
differential termination resistors, the CLK input resistor, and sets internal bias currents which affect the
linearity of the converter. This minimizes full-scale error, offset error, DNL and INL, which results in the
maximum dynamic performance, as measured by: SNR, THD, SINAD (SNDR) and ENOB.
5.3.3.1

How to Execute a Calibration
Calibration may be initiated by holding the CAL pin low for at least tCAL_L clock cycles, and then holding it
high for at least another tCAL_H clock cycles, as defined in Section 4.15. The minimum tCAL_L and tCAL_H
input clock cycle sequences are required to ensure that random noise does not cause a calibration to
begin when it is not desired. The time taken by the calibration procedure is specified as tCAL. The CAL Pin
is active in both ECM and Non-ECM. However, in ECM, the CAL Pin is logically OR'd with the CAL Bit, so
both the pin and bit are required to be set low before executing another calibration via either pin or bit.
5.3.3.3
Power-on Calibration
For standard operation, power-on calibration begins after a time delay following the application of power,
as determined by the setting of the CalDly Pin and measured by tCalDly (see Section 4.15). This delay
allows the power supply to come up and stabilize before the power-on calibration takes place. The best
setting (short or long) of the CalDly Pin depends upon the settling time of the power supply.
It is strongly recommended to set CalDly Pin (to either logic-high or logic-low) before powering the device
on since this pin affects the power-on calibration timing. This may be accomplished by setting CalDly via
an external 1kΩ resistor connected to GND or VA. If the CalDly Pin is toggled while the device is poweredon, it can execute a calibration even though the CAL Pin / Bit remains logic-low.

SNAS518J – JULY 2011 – REVISED JULY 2015
The power-on calibration will be not be performed if the CAL pin is logic-high at power-on. In this case, the
calibration cycle will not begin until the on-command calibration conditions are met. The ADC12D1800RF
will function with the CAL pin held high at power up, but no calibration will be done and performance will
be impaired.
If it is necessary to toggle the CalDly Pin during the system power up sequence, then the CAL Pin / Bit
must be set to logic-high before the toggling and afterwards for 109 Sampling Clock cycles. This will
prevent the power-on calibration, so an on-command calibration must be executed or the performance will
be impaired.
5.3.3.4
On-command Calibration
In addition to the power-on calibration, it is recommended to execute an on-command calibration
whenever the settings or conditions to the device are altered significantly, in order to obtain optimal
parametric performance. Some examples include: changing the FSR via ECM, power-cycling either
channel, and switching into or out of DES Mode. For best performance, it is also recommended that an
on-command calibration be run 20 seconds or more after application of power and whenever the operating
temperature changes significantly, relative to the specific system performance requirements.
Due to the nature of the calibration feature, it is recommended to avoid unnecessary activities on the
device while the calibration is taking place. For example, do not read or write to the Serial Interface or use
the DCLK Reset feature while calibrating the ADC. Doing so will impair the performance of the device until
it is re-calibrated correctly. Also, it is recommended to not apply a strong narrow-band signal to the analog
inputs during calibration because this may impair the accuracy of the calibration; broad spectrum noise is
acceptable.
5.3.3.5
Calibration Adjust
The sequence of the calibration event itself may be adjusted. This feature can be used if a shorter
calibration time than the default is required; see tCAL in Section 4.15. However, the performance of the
device, when using this feature is not ensured.
The calibration sequence may be adjusted via CSS (Addr: 4h, Bit 14). The default setting of CSS = 1b
executes both RIN and RIN_CLK Calibration (using Rtrim) and internal linearity Calibration (using Rext).
Executing a calibration with CSS = 0b executes only the internal linearity Calibration. The first time that
Calibration is executed, it must be with CSS = 1b to trim RIN and RIN_CLK. However, once the device is at
its operating temperature and RIN has been trimmed at least one time, it will not drift significantly. To save
time in subsequent calibrations, trimming RIN and RIN_CLK may be skipped, i.e. by setting CSS = 0b.
5.3.3.6
Read / Write Calibration Settings
When the ADC performs a calibration, the calibration constants are stored in an array which is accessible
via the Calibration Values register (Addr: 5h). To save the time which it takes to execute a calibration, tCAL,
or to allow for re-use of a previous calibration result, these values can be read from and written to the
register at a later time. For example, if an application requires the same input impedance, RIN, this feature
can be used to load a previously determined set of values. For the calibration values to be valid, the ADC
must be operating under the same conditions, including temperature, at which the calibration values were
originally determined by the ADC.
To read calibration values from the SPI, do the following:
1. Set ADC to desired operating conditions.
2. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 1.
3. Read exactly 240 times the Calibration Values register (Addr: 5h). The register values are R0, R1, R2...
R239 where R0 is a dummy value. The contents of R should be stored.
4. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 0.
5. Continue with normal operation.

To write calibration values to the SPI, do the following:
1. Set ADC to operating conditions at which Calibration Values were previously read.
2. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 1.
3. Write exactly 239 times the Calibration Values register (Addr: 5h). The registers should be written R1,
R2, ... , R239.
4. Make two additional dummy writes of 0000h.
5. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 0.
6. Continue with normal operation.
5.3.3.7
Calibration and Power-Down
If PDI and PDQ are simultaneously asserted during a calibration cycle, the ADC12D1800RF will
immediately power down. The calibration cycle will continue when either or both channels are powered
back up, but the calibration will be compromised due to the incomplete settling of bias currents directly
after power up. Therefore, a new calibration should be executed upon powering the ADC12D1800RF back
up. In general, the ADC12D1800RF should be recalibrated when either or both channels are powered
back up, or after one channel is powered down. For best results, this should be done after the device has
stabilized to its operating temperature.
5.3.3.8
Calibration and the Digital Outputs
During calibration, the digital outputs (including DI, DId, DQ, DQd and OR) are set logic-low, to reduce
noise. The DCLK runs continuously during calibration. After the calibration is completed and the CalRun
signal is logic-low, it takes an additional 60 Sampling Clock cycles before the output of the
ADC12D1800RF is valid converted data from the analog inputs. This is the time it takes for the pipeline to
flush, as well as for other internal processes.
5.3.4
Power Down
On the ADC12D1800RF, the I- and Q-channels may be powered down individually. This may be
accomplished via the control pins, PDI and PDQ, or via ECM. In ECM, the PDI and PDQ pins are logically
OR'd with the Control Register setting. See Section 5.5.1.1.6 andSection 5.5.1.1.7 for more information.
5.4
Device Functional Modes
The ADC12D1800RF has two functional modes for sampling the input signal, DES mode and Non-DES
mode and two mode to output sample data, Demux mode and Non-Demux Mode.
5.4.1
DES/Non-DES Mode
The ADC12D1800RF can operate in Dual-Edge Sampling (DES) or Non-DES Mode. The DES Mode
allows for a single analog input to be sampled by both I- and Q-channels. One channel samples the input
on the rising edge of the sampling clock and the other samples the same input signal on the falling edge
of the sampling clock. A single input is thus sampled twice per clock cycle, resulting in an overall sample
rate of twice the sampling clock frequency, e.g. 3.6 GSPS with a 1.8 GHz sampling clock. Since DES
Mode uses both I- and Q-channels to process the input signal, both channels must be powered up for the
DES Mode to function properly.
In Non-ECM, only the I-input may be used for the DES Mode input. See Section 5.5.1.1.1 for information
on how to select the DES Mode. In ECM, either the I- or Q-input may be selected by first using the DES
bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 7) to select the DES Mode. The DEQ Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit: 6) is used to select the Q-input,
but the I-input is used by default. Also, both I- and Q-inputs may be driven externally, i.e. DESIQ Mode, by
using the DIQ bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 5). See Section 6.1.1 for more information about how to drive the ADC in
DES Mode.

SNAS518J – JULY 2011 – REVISED JULY 2015
In DESCLKIQ Mode, the I- and Q-channels sample their inputs 180° out-of-phase with respect to one
another, similar to the other DES Modes. DESCLKIQ Mode is similar to the DESIQ Mode, except that the
I- and Q-channels remain electrically separate internal to the ADC12D1800RF. For this reason, both Iand
Q-inputs must be externally driven for the DESCLKIQ Mode. The DCLK Bit (Addr: Eh, Bit 6) is used to
select the 180° sampling clock mode.
The DESCLKIQ Mode results in the best bandwidth for the interleaved modes. In general, the bandwidth
decreases from Non-DES Mode to DES Mode (specifically, DESI or DESQ) because both channels are
sampling off the same input signal and non-ideal effects introduced by interleaving the two channels lower
the bandwidth. Driving both I- and Q-channels externally (DESIQ Mode and DESCLKIQ Mode) results in
better bandwidth for the DES Mode because each channel is being driven, which reduces routing losses.
The DESCLKIQ Mode has better bandwidth than the DESIQ Mode because the routing internal to the
ADC12D1800RF is simpler, which results in less insertion loss. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the electrical
separation of the I and Q signal paths in the DESCLKIQ mode the SFDR performance in this mode will be
significantly worse than in any of the other DES modes. For this reason this mode is only recommended
for applications where input bandwidth is more important than spurious performance.
In the DES Mode, the outputs must be carefully interleaved in order to reconstruct the sampled signal. If
the device is programmed into the 1:4 Demux DES Mode, the data is effectively demultiplexed by 1:4. If
the sampling clock is 1.8 GHz, the effective sampling rate is doubled to 3.6 GSPS and each of the 4
output buses has an output rate of 900 MSPS. All data is available in parallel. To properly reconstruct the
sampled waveform, the four bytes of parallel data that are output with each DCLK must be correctly
interleaved. The sampling order is as follows, from the earliest to the latest: DQd, DId, DQ, DI. See
Figure 4-2. If the device is programmed into the Non-Demux DES Mode, two bytes of parallel data are
output with each edge of the DCLK in the following sampling order, from the earliest to the latest: DQ, DI.
See Figure 4-5.
5.4.2
Demux/Non-Demux Mode
he ADC12D1800RF may be in one of two demultiplex modes: Demux Mode or Non-Demux Mode (also
sometimes referred to as 1:1 Demux Mode). In Non-Demux Mode, the data from the input is simply output
at the sampling rate on one 12-bit bus. In Demux Mode, the data from the input is output at half the
sampling rate, on twice the number of buses. Demux/Non-Demux Mode may only be selected by the NDM
pin; see Section 5.5.1.1.2. In Non-DES Mode, the output data from each channel may be demultiplexed by
a factor of 1:2 (1:2 Demux Non-DES Mode) or not demultiplexed (Non-Demux Non-DES Mode). In DES
Mode, the output data from both channels interleaved may be demultiplexed (1:4 Demux DES Mode) or
not demultiplexed (Non-Demux DES Mode). Note that for Non-Demux Mode, 90° DDR Mode and SDR
Mode are not available. See Table 5-5 for a selection of available modes.

Programming
5.5.1
Control Modes
The ADC12D1800RF may be operated in one of two control modes: Non-extended Control Mode (NonECM) or Extended Control Mode (ECM). In the simpler Non-ECM (also sometimes referred to as Pin
Control Mode), the user affects available configuration and control of the device through the control pins.
The ECM provides additional configuration and control options through a serial interface and a set of 16
registers, most of which are available to the customer.
5.5.1.1
Non-Extended Control Mode
In Non-extended Control Mode (Non-ECM), the Serial Interface is not active and all available functions are
controlled via various pin settings. Non-ECM is selected by setting the ECE Pin to logic-high. Note that, for
the control pins, "logic-high" and "logic-low" refer to VA and GND, respectively. Nine dedicated control pins
provide a wide range of control for the ADC12D1800RF and facilitate its operation. These control pins
provide DES Mode selection, Demux Mode selection, DDR Phase selection, execute Calibration,
Calibration Delay setting, Power Down I-channel, Power Down Q-channel, Test Pattern Mode selection,
and Full-Scale Input Range selection. In addition to this, two dual-purpose control pins provide for AC/DCcoupled Mode selection and LVDS output common-mode voltage selection. See Table 5-6 for a summary.

5.5.1.1.1 Dual Edge Sampling Pin (DES)
The Dual Edge Sampling (DES) Pin selects whether the ADC12D1800RF is in DES Mode (logic-high) or
Non-DES Mode (logic-low). DES Mode means that a single analog input is sampled by both I- and Qchannels in a time-interleaved manner. One of the ADCs samples the input signal on the rising sampling
clock edge (duty cycle corrected); the other ADC samples the input signal on the falling sampling clock
edge (duty cycle corrected). In Non-ECM, only the I-input may be used for DES Mode, a.k.a. "DESI
Mode". In ECM, the Q-input may be selected via the DEQ Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit: 6), a.k.a. "DESQ Mode". In
ECM, both the I- and Q-inputs maybe selected, a.k.a. "DESIQ Mode".
To use this feature in ECM, use the DES bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 7). See
Section 5.4.1 for more information.

SNAS518J – JULY 2011 – REVISED JULY 2015
5.5.1.1.2 Non-Demultiplexed Mode Pin (NDM)
The Non-Demultiplexed Mode (NDM) Pin selects whether the ADC12D1800RF is in Demux Mode (logiclow) or Non-Demux Mode (logic-high). In Non-Demux Mode, the data from the input is produced at the
sampled rate at a single 12-bit output bus. In Demux Mode, the data from the input is produced at half the
sampled rate at twice the number of output buses. For Non-DES Mode, each I- or Q-channel will produce
its data on one or two buses for Non-Demux or Demux Mode, respectively. For DES Mode, the selected
channel will produce its data on two or four buses for Non-Demux or Demux Mode, respectively.
This feature is pin-controlled only and remains active during both Non-ECM and ECM. See Section 5.4.2
for more information.
5.5.1.1.3 Dual Data Rate Phase Pin (DDRPh)
The Dual Data Rate Phase (DDRPh) Pin selects whether the ADC12D1800RF is in 0° Mode (logic-low) or
90° Mode (logic-high) for DDR Mode. If the device is in SDR Mode, then the DDRPh Pin selects whether
the ADC12D1800RF is in Falling Mode (logic low) or Rising Mode (logic high). For DDR Mode, the Data
may transition either with the DCLK transition (0° Mode) or halfway between DCLK transitions (90° Mode).
The DDRPh Pin selects 0° Mode or 90° Mode for both the I-channel: DI- and DId-to-DCLKI phase
relationship and for the Q-channel: DQ- and DQd-to-DCLKQ phase relationship.
To use this feature in ECM, use the DPS bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 14). See
Section 5.3.2.1 for more information.
5.5.1.1.4 Calibration Pin (CAL)
The Calibration (CAL) Pin may be used to execute an on-command calibration or to disable the power-on
calibration. The effect of calibration is to maximize the dynamic performance. To initiate an on-command
calibration via the CAL pin, bring the CAL pin high for a minimum of tCAL_H input clock cycles after it has
been low for a minimum of tCAL_L input clock cycles. Holding the CAL pin high upon power-on will prevent
execution of the power-on calibration. In ECM, this pin remains active and is logically OR'd with the CAL
bit.
To use this feature in ECM, use the CAL bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 15). See
Section 5.3.3 for more information.
5.5.1.1.5 Calibration Delay Pin (CalDly)
The Calibration Delay (CalDly) Pin selects whether a shorter or longer delay time is present, after the
application of power, until the start of the power-on calibration. The actual delay time is specified as tCalDly
and may be found in Section 4.15. This feature is pin-controlled only and remains active in ECM. It is
recommended to select the desired delay time prior to power-on and not dynamically alter this selection.
See Section 5.3.3 for more information.
5.5.1.1.6 Power Down I-channel Pin (PDI)
The Power Down I-channel (PDI) Pin selects whether the I-channel is powered down (logic-high) or active
(logic-low). The digital data output pins, DI and DId, (both positive and negative) are put into a high
impedance state when the I-channel is powered down. Upon return to the active state, the pipeline will
contain meaningless information and must be flushed. The supply currents (typicals and limits) are
available for the I-channel powered down or active and may be found in Section 4.12. The device should
be recalibrated following a power-cycle of PDI (or PDQ).
This pin remains active in ECM. In ECM, either this pin or the PDI bit (Addr: 0h; Bit: 11) in the Control
Register may be used to power-down the I-channel. See Section 5.3.4 for more information.

5.5.1.1.7 Power Down Q-channel Pin (PDQ)
The Power Down Q-channel (PDQ) Pin selects whether the Q-channel is powered down (logic-high) or
active (logic-low). This pin functions similarly to the PDI pin, except that it applies to the Q-channel. The
PDI and PDQ pins function independently of each other to control whether each I- or Q-channel is
powered down or active.
This pin remains active in ECM. In ECM, either this pin or the PDQ bit (Addr: 0h; Bit: 10) in the Control
Register may be used to power-down the Q-channel. See Section 5.3.4 for more information.
5.5.1.1.8 Test Pattern Mode Pin (TPM)
The Test Pattern Mode (TPM) Pin selects whether the output of the ADC12D1800RF is a test pattern
(logic-high) or the converted analog input (logic-low). The ADC12D1800RF can provide a test pattern at
the four output buses independently of the input signal to aid in system debug. In TPM, the ADC is
disengaged and a test pattern generator is connected to the outputs, including ORI and ORQ. See
Section 5.3.2.5 for more information.
5.5.1.1.9 Full-Scale Input Range Pin (FSR)
The Full-Scale Input Range (FSR) Pin sets the full-scale input range for both the I- and Q-channel; for the
ADC12D1800RF, only the logic-high setting is available. The input full-scale range is specified as VIN_FSR
in Section 4.7. In Non-ECM, the full-scale input range for each I- and Q-channel may not be set
independently, but it is possible to do so in ECM. The device must be calibrated following a change in
FSR to obtain optimal performance.
To use this feature in ECM, use the Configuration Registers (Addr: 3h and Bh). See Section 5.3.1 for
more information.
5.5.1.1.10 AC / DC-Coupled Mode Pin (VCMO)
The VCMO Pin serves a dual purpose. When functioning as an output, it provides the optimal commonmode voltage for the DC-coupled analog inputs. When functioning as an input, it selects whether the
device is AC-coupled (logic-low) or DC-coupled (floating). This pin is always active, in both ECM and NonECM.
5.5.1.1.11 LVDS Output Common-mode Pin (VBG)
The VBG Pin serves a dual purpose. When functioning as an output, it provides the bandgap reference.
When functioning as an input, it selects whether the LVDS output common-mode voltage is higher (logichigh) or lower (floating). The LVDS output common-mode voltage is specified as VOS and may be found in
Section 4.11. This pin is always active, in both ECM and Non-ECM.
5.5.1.2
Extended Control Mode
In Extended Control Mode (ECM), most functions are controlled via the Serial Interface. In addition to this,
several of the control pins remain active. See Table 5-1 for details. ECM is selected by setting the ECE
Pin to logic-low. If the ECE Pin is set to logic-high (Non-ECM), then the registers are reset to their default
values. So, a simple way to reset the registers is by toggling the ECE pin. Four pins on the
ADC12D1800RF control the Serial Interface: SCS, SCLK, SDI and SDO. This section covers the Serial
Interface. The Register Definitions are located at the end of the datasheet so that they are easy to find,
see Section 5.6.1.

5.5.1.2.1 The Serial Interface
The ADC12D1800RF offers a Serial Interface that allows access to the sixteen control registers within the
device. The Serial Interface is a generic 4-wire (optionally 3-wire) synchronous interface that is compatible
with SPI type interfaces that are used on many micro-controllers and DSP controllers. Each serial
interface access cycle is exactly 24 bits long. A register-read or register-write can be accomplished in one
cycle. The signals are defined in such a way that the user can opt to simply join SDI and SDO signals in
his system to accomplish a single, bidirectional SDI/O signal. A summary of the pins for this interface may
be found in Table 5-7. See Figure 4-8 for the timing diagram and Section 4.14 for timing specification
details. Control register contents are retained when the device is put into power-down mode. If this feature
is unused, the SCLK, SDI, and SCS pins may be left floating because they each have an internal pull-up.

Name
C4
SCS (Serial Chip Select bar)
C5
SCLK (Serial Clock)
B4
SDI (Serial Data In)
A3
SDO (Serial Data Out)
SCS: Each assertion (logic-low) of this signal starts a new register access, i.e. the SDI command field
must be ready on the following SCLK rising edge. The user is required to de-assert this signal after the
24th clock. If the SCS is de-asserted before the 24th clock, no data read / write will occur. For a read
operation, if the SCS is asserted longer than 24 clocks, the SDO output will hold the D0 bit until SCS is
de-asserted. For a write operation, if the SCS is asserted longer than 24 clocks, data write will occur
normally through the SDI input upon the 24th clock. Setup and hold times, tSCS and tHCS, with respect to
the SCLK must be observed. SCS must be toggled in between register access cycles.
SCLK: This signal is used to register the input data (SDI) on the rising edge; and to source the output
data (SDO) on the falling edge. The user may disable the clock and hold it at logic-low. There is no
minimum frequency requirement for SCLK; see fSCLK in Section 4.14 for more details.
SDI: Each register access requires a specific 24-bit pattern at this input, consisting of a command field
and a data field. If the SDI and SDO wired are shared (3-wire mode), then during read operations it is
necessary to tri-state the master which is driving SDI while the data field is being output by the ADC on
SDO. The master must be at TRI-STATE before the falling edge of the 8th clock. If SDI and SDO are not
shared (4-wire mode), then this is not necessary. Setup and hold times, tSH and tSSU, with respect to the
SCLK must be observed.
SDO: This output is normally at TRI-STATE and is driven only when SCS is asserted, the first 8 bits of
command data have been received and it is a READ operation. The data is shifted out, MSB first, starting
with the 8th clock's falling edge. At the end of the access, when SCS is de-asserted, this output is at TRISTATE once again. If an invalid address is accessed, the data sourced will consist of all zeroes. If it is a
read operation, there will be a bus turnaround time, tBSU, from when the last bit of the command field was
read in until the first bit of the data field is written out.

Bit 15
CAL: Calibration Enable. When this bit is set to 1b, an on-command calibration is initiated. This bit is not reset automatically
upon completion of the calibration. Therefore, the user must reset this bit to 0b and then set it to 1b again to execute another
calibration. This bit is logically OR'd with the CAL Pin; both bit and pin must be set to 0b before either is used to execute a
calibration. (1)
Bit 14
DPS: DCLK Phase Select. In DDR Mode, set this bit to 0b to select the 0° Mode DDR Data-to-DCLK phase relationship and to
1b to select the 90° Mode. In SDR Mode, set this bit to 0b to transition the data on the Rising edge of DCLK; set this bit to 1b
to transition the data on the Falling edge of DCLK.
Bit 13
OVS: Output Voltage Select. This bit sets the differential voltage level for the LVDS outputs including Data, OR, and DCLK. 0b
selects the lower level and 1b selects the higher level. See VOD in Section 4.11 for details.
Bit 12
TPM: Test Pattern Mode. When this bit is set to 1b, the device will continually output a fixed digital pattern at the digital Data
and OR outputs. When set to 0b, the device will continually output the converted signal, which was present at the analog
inputs. See Section 5.3.2.5 for details about the TPM pattern.
Bit 11
PDI: Power-down I-channel. When this bit is set to 0b, the I-channel is fully operational; when it is set to 1b, the I-channel is
powered-down. The I-channel may be powered-down via this bit or the PDI Pin, which is active, even in ECM.
Bit 10
PDQ: Power-down Q-channel. When this bit is set to 0b, the Q-channel is fully operational; when it is set to 1b, the Q-channel
is powered-down. The Q-channel may be powered-down via this bit or the PDQ Pin, which is active, even in ECM.
Bit 9
Reserved. Must be set to 0b.
Bit 8
LFS: Low-Frequency Select. If the sampling clock (CLK) is at or below 300 MHz, set this bit to 1b for improved performance.
Bit 7
DES: Dual-Edge Sampling Mode select. When this bit is set to 0b, the device will operate in the Non-DES Mode; when it is set
to 1b, the device will operate in the DES Mode. See Section 5.4.1 for more information.
Bit 6
DEQ: DES Q-input select, a.k.a. DESQ Mode. When the device is in DES Mode, this bit selects the input that the device will
operate on. The default setting of 0b selects the I-input and 1b selects the Q-input.
Bit 5
DIQ: DES I- and Q-input, a.k.a. DESIQ Mode. When in DES Mode, setting this bit to 1b shorts the I- and Q-inputs internally to
the device. If the bit is left at its default 0b, the I- and Q-inputs remain electrically separate. To operate the device in DESIQ
Mode, Bits must be set to 101b. In this mode, both the I- and Q-inputs must be externally driven; see Section 5.4.1 for
more information.

6 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
6.1
Application Information
6.1.1
Analog Inputs
The ADC12D1800RF will continuously convert any signal which is present at the analog inputs, as long as
a CLK signal is also provided to the device. This section covers important aspects related to the analog
inputs including: acquiring the input, driving the ADC in DES Mode, the reference voltage and FSR, out-ofrange indication, AC/DC-coupled signals, and single-ended input signals.
6.1.1.1
Acquiring the Input
The Aperture Delay, tAD, is the amount of delay, measured from the sampling edge of the clock input, after
which the signal present at the input pin is sampled inside the device. Data is acquired at the rising edge
of CLK+ in Non-DES Mode and both the falling and rising edge of CLK+ in DES Mode. In Non-DES Mode,
the I- and Q-channels always sample data on the rising edge of CLK+. In DES Mode, i.e. DESI, DESQ,
DESIQ, and DESCLKIQ, the I-channel samples data on the rising edge of CLK+ and the Q-channel
samples data on the falling edge of CLK+. The digital equivalent of that data is available at the digital
outputs a constant number of sampling clock cycles later for the DI, DQ, DId and DQd output busses,
a.k.a. the latency, depending on the demultiplex mode which is selected. In addition to the latency, there is
a constant output delay, tOD, before the data is available at the outputs. See tOD in Figure 4-2 to Figure 45. See tLAT, tAD, and tOD in Section 4.13.
6.1.1.2
Driving the ADC in DES Mode
The ADC12D1800RF can be configured as either a 2-channel, 1.8 GSPS device (Non-DES Mode) or a 1channel 3.6 GSPS device (DES Mode). When the device is configured in DES Mode, there is a choice for
with which input to drive the single-channel ADC. These are the 3 options:
DES – externally driving the I-channel input only. This is the default selection when the ADC is configured
in DES Mode. It may also be referred to as “DESI” for added clarity.
DESQ – externally driving the Q-channel input only.
DESIQ, DESCLKIQ – externally driving both the I- and Q-channel inputs. VinI+ and VinQ+ should be
driven with the exact same signal. VinI- and VinQ- should be driven with the exact same signal, which is
the differential complement to the one driving VinI+ and VinQ+.
The input impedance for each I- and Q-input is 100Ω differential (or 50Ω single-ended), so the trace to
each VinI+, VinI-, VinQ+, and VinQ- should always be 50Ω single-ended. If a single I- or Q-input is being
driven, then that input will present a 100Ω differential load. For example, if a 50Ω single-ended source is
driving the ADC, then a 1:2 balun will transform the impedance to 100Ω differential. However, if the ADC
is being driven in DESIQ Mode, then the 100Ω differential impedance from the I-input will appear in
parallel with the Q-input for a composite load of 50Ω differential and a 1:1 balun would be appropriate.
See Figure 6-1 for an example circuit driving the ADC in DESIQ Mode. A recommended part selection is
using the Mini-Circuits TC1-1-13MA+ balun with Ccouple = 0.22µF.

FSR and the Reference Voltage
The full-scale analog differential input range (VIN_FSR) of the ADC12D1800RF is derived from an internal
bandgap reference. In Non-ECM, this full-scale range must be set by the logic-high setting of the FSR Pin;
see Section 5.5.1.1.9. The FSR Pin operates on both I- and Q-channels. In ECM, the full-scale range may
be independently set for each channel via Addr:3h and Bh with 15 bits of precision; see Section 5.6.1.
The best SNR is obtained with a higher full-scale input range, but better distortion and SFDR are obtained
with a lower full-scale input range. It is not possible to use an external analog reference voltage to modify
the full-scale range, and this adjustment should only be done digitally, as described.
A buffered version of the internal bandgap reference voltage is made available at the VBG Pin for the user.
The VBG pin can drive a load of up to 80 pF and source or sink up to 100 μA. It should be buffered if more
current than this is required. This pin remains as a constant reference voltage regardless of what full-scale
range is selected and may be used for a system reference. VBG is a dual-purpose pin and it may also be
used to select a higher LVDS output common-mode voltage; see Section 5.5.1.1.11.
6.1.1.4
Out-of-Range Indication
Differential input signals are digitized to 12 bits, based on the full-scale range. Signal excursions beyond
the full-scale range, i.e. greater than +VIN_FSR/2 or less than -VIN_FSR/2, will be clipped at the output. An
input signal which is above the FSR will result in all 1's at the output and an input signal which is below
the FSR will result in all 0's at the output. When the conversion result is clipped for the I-channel input, the
Out-of-Range I-channel (ORI) output is activated such that ORI+ goes high and ORI- goes low while the
signal is out of range. This output is active as long as accurate data on either or both of the buses would
be outside the range of 000h to FFFh. The Q-channel has a separate ORQ which functions similarly.

Maximum Input Range
The recommended operating and absolute maximum input range may be found in Section 4.3 and
Section 4.1, respectively. Under the stated allowed operating conditions, each Vin+ and Vin- input pin may
be operated in the range from 0V to 2.15V if the input is a continuous 100% duty cycle signal and from 0V
to 2.5V if the input is a 10% duty cycle signal. The absolute maximum input range for Vin+ and Vin- is
from -0.15V to 2.5V. These limits apply only for input signals for which the input common mode voltage is
properly maintained.
6.1.1.6
AC-Coupled Input Signals
The ADC12D1800RF analog inputs require a precise common-mode voltage. This voltage is generated
on-chip when AC-coupling Mode is selected. See Section 5.5.1.1.10 for more information about how to
select AC-coupled Mode.
In AC-coupled Mode, the analog inputs must of course be AC-coupled. For an ADC12D1800RF used in a
typical application, this may be accomplished by on-board capacitors, as shown in Figure 6-2. For the
ADC12D1800RFRB, the SMA inputs on the Reference Board are directly connected to the analog inputs
on the ADC12D1800RF, so this may be accomplished by DC blocks (included with the hardware kit).
When the AC-coupled Mode is selected, an analog input channel that is not used (e.g. in DES Mode)
should be connected to AC ground, e.g. through capacitors to ground . Do not connect an unused analog
input directly to ground.

ADC12D1XXX
Figure 6-2. AC-coupled Differential Input
The analog inputs for the ADC12D1800RF are internally buffered, which simplifies the task of driving
these inputs and the RC pole which is generally used at sampling ADC inputs is not required. If the user
desires to place an amplifier circuit before the ADC, care should be taken to choose an amplifier with
adequate noise and distortion performance, and adequate gain at the frequencies used for the application.
6.1.1.7
DC-Coupled Input Signals
In DC-coupled Mode, the ADC12D1800RF differential inputs must have the correct common-mode
voltage. This voltage is provided by the device itself at the VCMO output pin. It is recommended to use this
voltage because the VCMO output potential will change with temperature and the common-mode voltage of
the driving device should track this change. Full-scale distortion performance falls off as the input common
mode voltage deviates from VCMO. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the input common-mode voltage
within 100 mV of VCMO (typical), although this range may be extended to ±150 mV (maximum). See VCMI
in Section 4.7 and ENOB vs. VCMI in Section 4.16. Performance in AC- and DC-coupled Mode are similar,
provided that the input common mode voltage at both analog inputs remains within 100 mV of VCMO.
6.1.1.8
Single-Ended Input Signals
The analog inputs of the ADC12D1800RF are not designed to accept single-ended signals. The best way
to handle single-ended signals is to first convert them to differential signals before presenting them to the
ADC. The easiest way to accomplish single-ended to differential signal conversion is with an appropriate
balun-transformer, as shown in Figure 6-3.

VINADC12D1XXX
Figure 6-3. Single-Ended to Differential Conversion Using a Balun
When selecting a balun, it is important to understand the input architecture of the ADC. The impedance of
the analog source should be matched to the ADC12D1800RF's on-chip 100Ω differential input termination
resistor. The range of this termination resistor is specified as RIN in Section 4.7.
6.1.2
Clock Inputs
The ADC12D1800RF has a differential clock input, CLK+ and CLK-, which must be driven with an ACcoupled, differential clock signal. This provides the level shifting necessary to allow for the clock to be
driven with LVDS, PECL, LVPECL, or CML levels. The clock inputs are internally terminated to 100Ω
differential and self-biased. This section covers coupling, frequency range, level, duty-cycle, jitter, and
layout considerations.
6.1.2.1
CLK Coupling
The clock inputs of the ADC12D1800RF must be capacitively coupled to the clock pins as indicated in
Figure 6-4.
Ccouple
CLK+
Ccouple
CLK-
ADC12D1XXX
Figure 6-4. Differential Input Clock Connection
The choice of capacitor value will depend on the clock frequency, capacitor component characteristics and
other system economic factors. For example, on the ADC12D1800RFRB, the capacitors have the value
Ccouple = 4.7 nF which yields a high pass cutoff frequency, fc = 677.2 kHz.
6.1.2.2
CLK Frequency
Although the ADC12D1800RF is tested and its performance is ensured with a differential 1.8 GHz
sampling clock, it will typically function well over the input clock frequency range; see fCLK(min) and
fCLK(max) in Section 4.13. Operation up to fCLK(max) is possible if the maximum ambient temperatures
indicated are not exceeded. Operating at sample rates above fCLK(max) for the maximum ambient
temperature may result in reduced device reliability and product lifetime. This is due to the fact that higher
sample rates results in higher power consumption and die temperatures. If fCLK < 300 MHz, enable LFS in
the Control Register (Addr: 0h, Bit 8).
6.1.2.3
CLK Level
The input clock amplitude is specified as VIN_CLK in Section 4.9. Input clock amplitudes above the max
VIN_CLK may result in increased input offset voltage. This would cause the converter to produce an output
code other than the expected 2047/2048 when both input pins are at the same potential. Insufficient input
clock levels will result in poor dynamic performance. Both of these results may be avoided by keeping the
clock input amplitude within the specified limits of VIN_CLK.

6.1.2.4
www.ti.com
CLK Duty Cycle
The duty cycle of the input clock signal can affect the performance of any A/D converter. The
ADC12D1800RF features a duty cycle clock correction circuit which can maintain performance over the
20%-to-80% specified clock duty-cycle range. This feature is enabled by default and provides improved
ADC clocking, especially in the Dual-Edge Sampling (DES) Mode.
6.1.2.5
CLK Jitter
High speed, high performance ADCs such as the ADC12D1800RF require a very stable input clock signal
with minimum phase noise or jitter. ADC jitter requirements are defined by the ADC resolution (number of
bits), maximum ADC input frequency and the input signal amplitude relative to the ADC input full scale
range. The maximum jitter (the sum of the jitter from all sources) allowed to prevent a jitter-induced
reduction in SNR is found to be
tJ(MAX) = ( VIN(P-P)/ VFSR) x (1/(2(N+1) x π x fIN))
(1)
where tJ(MAX) is the rms total of all jitter sources in seconds, VIN(P-P) is the peak-to-peak analog input signal,
VFSR is the full-scale range of the ADC, "N" is the ADC resolution in bits and fIN is the maximum input
frequency, in Hertz, at the ADC analog input.
tJ(MAX) is the square root of the sum of the squares (RSS) sum of the jitter from all sources, including: the
ADC input clock, system, input signals and the ADC itself. Since the effective jitter added by the ADC is
beyond user control, it is recommended to keep the sum of all other externally added jitter to a minimum.
6.1.2.6
CLK Layout
The ADC12D1800RF clock input is internally terminated with a trimmed 100Ω resistor. The differential
input clock line pair should have a characteristic impedance of 100Ω and (when using a balun), be
terminated at the clock source in that (100Ω) characteristic impedance.
It is good practice to keep the ADC input clock line as short as possible, tightly coupled, keep it well away
from any other signals, and treat it as a transmission line. Otherwise, other signals can introduce jitter into
the input clock signal. Also, the clock signal can introduce noise into the analog path if it is not properly
isolated.
6.1.3
LVDS Outputs
The Data, ORI, ORQ, DCLKI and DCLKQ outputs are LVDS. The electrical specifications of the LVDS
outputs are compatible with typical LVDS receivers available on ASIC and FPGA chips; but they are not
IEEE or ANSI communications standards compliant due to the low +1.9V supply used on this chip. These
outputs should be terminated with a 100Ω differential resistor placed as closely to the receiver as possible.
If the 100Ω differential resistor is built in to the receiver, then an externally placed resistor is not
necessary. This section covers common-mode and differential voltage, and data rate.
6.1.3.1
Common-mode and Differential Voltage
The LVDS outputs have selectable common-mode and differential voltage, VOS and VOD; see
Section 4.11. See Section 5.3.2 for more information.
Selecting the higher VOS will also increase VOD slightly. The differential voltage, VOD, may be selected for
the higher or lower value. For short LVDS lines and low noise systems, satisfactory performance may be
realized with the lower VOD. This will also result in lower power consumption. If the LVDS lines are long
and/or the system in which the ADC12D1800RF is used is noisy, it may be necessary to select the higher
VOD.

6.1.3.2
SNAS518J – JULY 2011 – REVISED JULY 2015
Output Data Rate
The data is produced at the output at the same rate it is sampled at the input. The minimum
recommended input clock rate for this device is fCLK(MIN); see Section 4.13. However, it is possible to
operate the device in 1:2 Demux Mode and capture data from just one 12-bit bus, e.g. just DI (or DId)
although both DI and DId are fully operational. This will decimate the data by two and effectively halve the
data rate.
6.1.3.3
Terminating Unused LVDS Output Pins
If the ADC is used in Non-Demux Mode, then only the DI and DQ data outputs will have valid data present
on them. The DId and DQd data outputs may be left not connected; if unused, they are internally at TRISTATE.
Similarly, if the Q-channel is powered-down (i.e. PDQ is logic-high), the DQ data output pins, DCLKQ and
ORQ may be left not connected.
6.1.4
Synchronizing Multiple ADC12D1800RFS in a System
The ADC12D1800RF has two features to assist the user with synchronizing multiple ADCs in a system;
AutoSync and DCLK Reset. The AutoSync feature and designates one ADC12D1800RF as the Master
ADC and other ADC12D1800RFs in the system as Slave ADCs. The DCLK Reset feature performs the
same function as the AutoSync feature, but is the first generation solution to synchronizing multiple ADCs
in a system; it is disabled by default. For the application in which there are multiple Master and Slave
ADC12D1800RFs in a system, AutoSync may be used to synchronize the Slave ADC12D1800RF(s) to
each respective Master ADC12D1800RF and the DCLK Reset may be used to synchronize the Master
ADC12D1800RFs to each other.
If the AutoSync or DCLK Reset feature is not used, see Table 6-2 for recommendations about terminating
unused pins.

AutoSync Feature
AutoSync is a feature which continuously synchronizes the outputs of multiple ADC12D1800RFs in a
system. It may be used to synchronize the DCLK and data outputs of one or more Slave
ADC12D1800RFs to one Master ADC12D1800RF. Several advantages of this feature include: no special
synchronization pulse required, any upset in synchronization is recovered upon the next DCLK cycle, and
the Master / Slave ADC12D1800RFs may be arranged as a binary tree so that any upset will quickly
propagate out of the system.
An example system is shown below in Figure 6-5 which consists of one Master ADC and two Slave ADCs.
For simplicity, only one DCLK is shown; in reality, there is DCLKI and DCLKQ, but they are always in
phase with one another.

Figure 6-5. AutoSync Example
In order to synchronize the DCLK (and Data) outputs of multiple ADCs, the DCLKs must transition at the
same time, as well as be in phase with one another. The DCLK at each ADC is generated from the CLK
after some latency, plus tOD minus tAD. Therefore, in order for the DCLKs to transition at the same time,
the CLK signal must reach each ADC at the same time. To tune out any differences in the CLK path to
each ADC, the tAD adjust feature may be used. However, using the tAD adjust feature will also affect when
the DCLK is produced at the output. If the device is in Demux Mode, then there are four possible phases
which each DCLK may be generated on because the typical CLK = 1.8 GHz and DCLK = 450 MHz for this
case. The RCLK signal controls the phase of the DCLK, so that each Slave DCLK is on the same phase
as the Master DCLK.
The AutoSync feature may only be used via the Control Registers. For more information, see SNAA073.
6.1.4.2
DCLK Reset Feature
The DCLK reset feature is available via ECM, but it is disabled by default. DCLKI and DCLKQ are always
synchronized, by design, and do not require a pulse from DCLK_RST to become synchronized.
The DCLK_RST signal must observe certain timing requirements, which are shown in Figure 4-6 of the
Timing Diagrams. The DCLK_RST pulse must be of a minimum width and its deassertion edge must
observe setup and hold times with respect to the CLK input rising edge. These timing specifications are
listed as tPWR, tSR and tHR and may be found in Section 4.13.
The DCLK_RST signal can be asserted asynchronously to the input clock. If DCLK_RST is asserted, the
DCLK output is held in a designated state (logic-high) in Demux Mode; in Non-Demux Mode, the DCLK
continues to function normally. Depending upon when the DCLK_RST signal is asserted, there may be a
narrow pulse on the DCLK line during this reset event. When the DCLK_RST signal is de-asserted, there
are tSYNC_DLY CLK cycles of systematic delay and the next CLK rising edge synchronizes the DCLK output
with those of other ADC12D1800RFs in the system. For 90° Mode (DDRPh = logic-high), the
synchronizing edge occurs on the rising edge of CLK, 4 cycles after the first rising edge of CLK after
DCLK_RST is released. For 0° Mode (DDRPh = logic-low), this is 5 cycles instead. The DCLK output is
enabled again after a constant delay of tOD.
For both Demux and Non-Demux Modes, there is some uncertainty about how DCLK comes out of the
reset state for the first DCLK_RST pulse. For the second (and subsequent) DCLK_RST pulses, the DCLK
will come out of the reset state in a known way. Therefore, if using the DCLK Reset feature, it is
recommended to apply one "dummy" DCLK_RST pulse before using the second DCLK_RST pulse to
synchronize the outputs. This recommendation applies each time the device or channel is powered-on.
When using DCLK_RST to synchronize multiple ADC12D1800RFs, it is required that the Select Phase
bits in the Control Register (Addr: Eh, Bits 3,4) be the same for each Master ADC12D1800RF.

Recommended System Chips
TI recommends these other chips including temperature sensors, clocking devices, and amplifiers in order
to support the ADC12D1800RF in a system design.
6.1.5.1
Temperature Sensor
The ADC12D1800RF has an on-die temperature diode connected to pins Tdiode± which may be used to
monitor the die temperature. TI also provides a family of temperature sensors for this application which
monitor different numbers of external devices, see Table 6-3.

LM95214
The temperature sensor (LM95235/13/14) is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System
Management Bus (SMBus) interface that can monitor the temperature of one, two, or four remote diodes
as well as its own temperature. It can be used to accurately monitor the temperature of up to one, two, or
four external devices such as the ADC12D1800RF, a FPGA, other system components, and the ambient
temperature.
The temperature sensor reports temperature in two different formats for +127.875°C/-128°C range and
0°/255°C range. It has a Sigma-Delta ADC core which provides the first level of noise immunity. For
improved performance in a noisy environment, the temperature sensor includes programmable digital
filters for Remote Diode temperature readings. When the digital filters are invoked, the resolution for the
Remote Diode readings increases to 0.03125°C. For maximum flexibility and best accuracy, the
temperature sensor includes offset registers that allow calibration for other types of diodes.
Diode fault detection circuitry in the temperature sensor can detect the absence or fault state of a remote
diode: whether D+ is shorted to the power supply, D- or ground, or floating.
In the following typical application, the LM95213 is used to monitor the temperature of an ADC12D1800RF
as well as an FPGA, see Figure 6-6. If this feature is unused, the Tdiode± pins may be left floating.

7 Power Supply Recommendations
7.1
System Power-on Considerations
There are a couple important topics to consider associated with the system power-on event including
configuration and calibration, and the Data Clock.
7.1.1
Power-on, Configuration, and Calibration
Following the application of power to the ADC12D1800RF, several events must take place before the
output from the ADC12D1800RF is valid and at full performance; at least one full calibration must be
executed with the device configured in the desired mode.
Following the application of power to the ADC12D1800RF, there is a delay of tCalDly and then the Poweron Calibration is executed. This is why it is recommended to set the CalDly Pin via an external pull-up or
pull-down resistor. This ensured that the state of that input will be properly set at the same time that power
is applied to the ADC and tCalDly will be a known quantity. For the purpose of this section, it is assumed
that CalDly is set as recommended.
The Control Bits or Pins must be set or written to configure the ADC12D1800RF in the desired mode. This
must take place via either Extended Control Mode or Non-ECM (Pin Control Mode) before subsequent
calibrations will yield an output at full performance in that mode. Some examples of modes include
DES/Non-DES Mode, Demux/Non-demux Mode, and Full-Scale Range.
The simplest case is when device is in Non-ECM and the Control Pins are set by pull-up / down resistors,
see Figure 7-1. For this case, the settings to the Control Pins ramp concurrently to the ADC voltage.
Following the delay of tCalDly and the calibration execution time, tCAL, the output of the ADC12D1800RF is
valid and at full performance. If it takes longer than tCalDly for the system to stabilize at its operating
temperature, it is recommended to execute an on-command calibration at that time.
Another case is when the FPGA configures the Control Pins (Non-ECM) or writes to the SPI (ECM), see
Figure 7-2. It is always necessary to comply with the Operating Ratings and Absolute Maximum ratings,
i.e. the Control Pins may not be driven below the ground or above the supply, regardless of what the
voltage currently applied to the supply is. Therefore, it is not recommended to write to the Control Pins or
SPI before power is applied to the ADC12D1800RF. As long as the FPGA has completed writing to the
Control Pins or SPI, the Power-on Calibration will result in a valid output at full performance. Once again,
if it takes longer than tCalDly for the system to stabilize at its operating temperature, it is recommended to
execute an on-command calibration at that time.
Due to system requirements, it may not be possible for the FPGA to write to the Control Pins or SPI
before the Power-on Calibration takes place, see Figure 7-3. It is not critical to configure the device before
the Power-on Calibration, but it is critical to realize that the output for such a case is not at its full
performance. Following an On-command Calibration, the device will be at its full performance.

Power-on and Data Clock (DCLK)
mV
Many applications use the DCLK output for a system clock. For the ADC12D1800RF, each I- and Qchannel has its own DCLKI and DCLKQ, respectively. The DCLK output is always active, unless that
channel is powered-down or the DCLK Reset feature is used while the device is in Demux Mode. As the
supply to the ADC12D1800RF ramps, the DCLK also comes up, see this example from the
ADC12D1800RFRB: Figure 7-4. While the supply is too low, there is no output at DCLK. As the supply
continues to ramp, DCLK functions intermittently with irregular frequency, but the amplitude continues to
track with the supply. Much below the low end of operating supply range of the ADC12D1800RF, the
DCLK is already fully operational.

8.1.1
Layout Guidelines
Power Planes
All supply buses for the ADC should be sourced from a common linear voltage regulator. This ensures
that all power buses to the ADC are turned on and off simultaneously. This single source will be split into
individual sections of the power plane, with individual decoupling and connection to the different power
supply buses of the ADC. Due to the low voltage but relatively high supply current requirement, the
optimal solution may be to use a switching regulator to provide an intermediate low voltage, which is then
regulated down to the final ADC supply voltage by a linear regulator. Please refer to the documentation
provided for the ADC12D1800RFRB for additional details on specific regulators that are recommended for
this configuration.
Power for the ADC should be provided through a broad plane which is located on one layer adjacent to
the ground plane(s). Placing the power and ground planes on adjacent layers will provide low impedance
decoupling of the ADC supplies, especially at higher frequencies. The output of a linear regulator should
feed into the power plane through a low impedance multi-via connection. The power plane should be split
into individual power peninsulas near the ADC. Each peninsula should feed a particular power bus on the
ADC, with decoupling for that power bus connecting the peninsula to the ground plane near each power /
ground pin pair. Using this technique can be difficult on many printed circuit CAD tools. To work around
this, zero ohm resistors can be used to connect the power source net to the individual nets for the different
ADC power buses. As a final step, the zero ohm resistors can be removed and the plane and peninsulas
can be connected manually after all other error checking is completed.
8.1.2
Bypass Capacitors
The general recommendation is to have one 100nF capacitor for each power / ground pin pair. The
capacitors should be surface mount multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors similar to Panasonic part number
ECJ-0EB1A104K.
8.1.3
Ground Planes
Grounding should be done using continuous full ground planes to minimize the impedance for all ground
return paths, and provide the shortest possible image/return path for all signal traces.

SNAS518J – JULY 2011 – REVISED JULY 2015
Power System Example
The ADC12D1800RFRB uses continuous ground planes (except where clear areas are needed to provide
appropriate impedance management for specific signals), see Figure 8-1. Power is provided on one plane,
with the 1.9V ADC supply being split into multiple zones or peninsulas for the specific power buses of the
ADC. Decoupling capacitors are connected between these power bus peninsulas and the adjacent ground
planes using vias. The capacitors are located as close to the individual power / ground pin pairs of the
ADC as possible. In most cases, this means the capacitors are located on the opposite side of the PCB to
the ADC.

Thermal Management
The Heat Slug Ball Grid Array (HSBGA) package is a modified version of the industry standard plastic
BGA (Ball Grid Array) package. Inside the package, a copper heat spreader cap is attached to the
substrate top with exposed metal in the center top area of the package. This results in a 20%
improvement (typical) in thermal performance over the standard plastic BGA package.

The center balls are connected to the bottom of the die by vias in the package substrate, Figure 8-5. This
gives a low thermal resistance between the die and these balls. Connecting these balls to the PCB ground
planes with a low thermal resistance path is the best way dissipate the heat from the ADC. These pins
should also be connected to the ground plane via a low impedance path for electrical purposes. The direct
connection to the ground planes is an easy method to spread heat away from the ADC. Along with the
ground plane, the parallel power planes will provide additional thermal dissipation.
The center ground balls should be soldered down to the recommended ball pads (See SNOA021). These
balls will have wide traces which in turn have vias which connect to the internal ground planes, and a
bottom ground pad / pour if possible. This ensures a good ground is provided for these balls, and that the
optimal heat transfer will occur between these balls and the PCB ground planes.
In spite of these package enhancements, analysis using the standard JEDEC JESD51-7 four-layer PCB
thermal model shows that ambient temperatures must be limited to a max of 65°C to ensure a safe
operating junction temperature for the ADC12D1800RF. However, most applications using the
ADC12D1800RF will have a printed circuit board which is more complex than that used in JESD51-7.
Typical circuit boards will have more layers than the JESD51-7 (eight or more), several of which will be
used for ground and power planes. In those applications, the thermal resistance parameters of the
ADC12D1800RF and the circuit board can be used to determine the actual safe ambient operating
temperature up to a maximum of 85°C.
Three key parameters are provided to allow for modeling and calculations. Because there are two main
thermal paths between the ADC die and external environment, the thermal resistance for each of these
paths is provided. θJC1 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the exposed metal area on
the top of the HSBGA package. θJC2 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the center
group of balls on the bottom of the HSBGA package. The final parameter is the allowed maximum junction
temperature, which is TJ.
In other applications, a heat sink or other thermally conductive path can be added to the top of the
HSBGA package to remove heat. In those cases, θJC1 can be used along with the thermal parameters for
the heat sink or other thermal coupling added. Representative heat sinks which might be used with the
ADC12D1800RF include the Cool Innovations p/n 3-1212XXG and similar products from other vendors. In
many applications, the printed circuit board will provide the primary thermal path conducting heat away
from the ADC package. In those cases, θJC2 can be used in conjunction with printed circuit board thermal
modeling software to determine the allowed operating conditions that will maintain the die temperature
below the maximum allowable limit. Additional dissipation can be achieved by coupling a heat sink to the
copper pour area on the bottom side of the printed circuit board.

Typically, dissipation will occur through one predominant thermal path. In these cases, the following
calculations can be used to determine the maximum safe ambient operating temperature:
TJ = TA + PD × (θJC+θCA)
TJ = TA + PC(MAX) × (θJC+θCA)
For θJC, the value for the primary thermal path in the given application environment should be used (θJC1
or θJC2). θCA is the thermal resistance from the case to ambient, which would typically be that of the heat
sink used. Using this relationship and the desired ambient temperature, the required heat sink thermal
resistance can be found. Alternately, the heat sink thermal resistance can be used to find the maximum
ambient temperature. For more complex systems, thermal modeling software can be used to evaluate the
printed circuit board system and determine the expected junction temperature given the total system
dissipation and ambient temperature.

Device Support
Specification Definitions
APERTURE JITTER (tAJ) is the variation in aperture delay from sample-to-sample. Aperture jitter can be
effectively considered as noise at the input.
CODE ERROR RATE (CER) is the probability of error and is defined as the probable number of word
errors on the ADC output per unit of time divided by the number of words seen in that amount of time. A
CER of 10-18 corresponds to a statistical error in one word about every 31.7 years.
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. It is measured at the relevant sample rate, fCLK, with fIN = 1MHz sine wave.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-toNoise and Distortion Ratio, or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD − 1.76) / 6.02 and states that the
converter is equivalent to a perfect ADC of this many (ENOB) number of bits.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the transfer function. It can be calculated from Offset
and Full-Scale Errors. The Positive Gain Error is the Offset Error minus the Positive Full-Scale Error. The
Negative Gain Error is the Negative Full-Scale Error minus the Offset Error. The Gain Error is the
Negative Full-Scale Error minus the Positive Full-Scale Error; it is also equal to the Positive Gain Error
plus the Negative Gain Error.
GAIN FLATNESS is the measure of the variation in gain over the specified bandwidth. For example, for
the ADC12D1800RF, from D.C. to Fs/2 is to 900 MHz for the Non-DES Mode and from D.C. to Fs/2 is
1800 MHz for the DES Mode.
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of worst case deviation of the ADC transfer function
from an ideal straight line drawn through the ADC transfer function. The deviation of any given code from
this straight line is measured from the center of that code value step. The best fit method is used.
INSERTION LOSS is the loss in power of a signal due to the insertion of a device, e.g. the
ADC12D1800RF, expressed in dB.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is a measure of the near-in 3rd order distortion products (2f2 f1, 2f1 - f2) which occur when two tones which are close in frequency (f1, f2) are applied to the ADC input. It
is measured from the input tones level to the higher of the two distortion products (dBc) or simply the level
of the higher of the two distortion products (dBFS). The input tones are typically -7dBFS.
LSB (LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the smallest value or weight of all bits. This value is
VFS / 2N
(2)
where VFS is the differential full-scale amplitude VIN_FSR as set by the FSR input and "N" is the ADC
resolution in bits, which is 12 for the ADC12D1800RF.
LOW VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL SIGNALING (LVDS) DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V ID and
VOD) is two times the absolute value of the difference between the VD+ and VD- signals; each signal
measured with respect to Ground. VOD peak is VOD,P= (VD+ - VD-) and VOD peak-to-peak is VOD,P-P=
2*(VD+ - VD-); for this product, the VOD is measured peak-to-peak.

LVDS OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE (VOS) is the midpoint between the D+ and D- pins output voltage
with respect to ground; i.e., [(VD+) +( VD-)]/2. See Figure 9-1.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that are skipped and will never appear at the ADC outputs.
These codes cannot be reached with any input value.
MSB (MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the largest value or weight. Its value is one half of full
scale.
NEGATIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (NFSE) is a measure of how far the first code transition is from the
ideal 1/2 LSB above a differential −VIN/2. For the ADC12D1800RF the reference voltage is assumed to be
ideal, so this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference voltage error.
NOISE FLOOR DENSITY is a measure of the power density of the noise floor, expressed in dBFS/Hz and
dBm/Hz. '0 dBFS' is defined as the power of a sinusoid which precisely uses the full-scale range of the
ADC.
NOISE POWER RATIO (NPR) is the ratio of the sum of the power outside the notched bins to the sum of
the power in an equal number of bins inside the notch, expressed in dB.
OFFSET ERROR (VOFF) is a measure of how far the mid-scale point is from the ideal zero voltage
differential input.
Offset Error = Actual Input causing average of 8k samples to result in an average code of 2047.5.
OUTPUT DELAY (tOD) is the time delay (in addition to Latency) after the rising edge of CLK+ before the
data update is present at the output pins.
OVER-RANGE RECOVERY TIME is the time required after the differential input voltages goes from ±1.2V
to 0V for the converter to recover and make a conversion with its rated accuracy.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of input clock cycles between initiation of conversion and
when that data is presented to the output driver stage. The data lags the conversion by the Latency plus
the tOD.
POSITIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (PFSE) is a measure of how far the last code transition is from the ideal
1-1/2 LSB below a differential +VIN/2. For the ADC12D1800RF the reference voltage is assumed to be
ideal, so this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference voltage error.
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the fundamental for a
single-tone 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 fundamental for a single-tone to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below
half the input clock frequency, including harmonics but excluding DC.
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, excluding DC.
θJA is the thermal resistance between the junction to ambient.

HSBGA package.
θJC2 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the center group of balls on the bottom of the
