DESCRIPTION
reference can be disabled allowing low drive, external references to be used for improved tracking in multichannel systems.
The ADS2806 is a dual, high-speed, high dynamic range,
12-bit pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). This converter includes a high-bandwidth track-and-hold that gives
excellent spurious performance up to and beyond the Nyquist
rate. The differential nature of this track-and-hold and ADC
circuitry minimizes even-order harmonics and gives excellent common-mode noise immunity. The track-and-hold can
also be operated single-ended.
The ADS2806 provides an over-range indicator flag to
indicate an input signal that exceeds the full-scale input
range of the converter. This flag can be used to reduce the
gain of front end gain control circuitry. There is also an
output enable pin to allow for multiplexing and testability on
a PC board.
The ADS2806 employs digital error correction techniques to
provide excellent differential linearity for demanding imaging applications. The ADS2806 is available in a TQFP-64
power package.
The ADS2806 provides for setting the full-scale range of the
converter without any external reference circuitry. The internal

ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.
NOTE: (1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings”
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to absolute maximum

APPLICATION INFORMATION
• The reduced signal swing allows for more headroom in
the interface circuitry and, therefore, a wider selection of
the best suitable driver op amp.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS2806 integrates two high-speed CMOS ADCs and
an internal reference. The ADCs utilize a pipelined converter
architecture consisting of 11 internal stages. Each stage
feeds its data into the digital error correction logic, ensuring
excellent differential linearity and no missing codes at the
12-bit level. The output data becomes valid after the rising
clock edge (see Timing Diagram). The pipeline architecture
results in a data latency of 6 clock cycles.
The analog input of the ADS2806 consists of a differential
track-and-hold circuit. The differential topology along with
tightly matched poly-poly capacitors produce a high level of
AC performance at high sampling rates and in some undersampling applications.
Both inputs (IN, IN) require external biasing using a common-mode voltage that is typically at the mid-supply level
(+VS/2).
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS
The analog inputs of the ADS2806 are very high impedance
and should be driven through an R-C network designed to
pass the highest frequency of interest. This prevents highfrequency noise in the input from affecting SFDR and SNR.
The ADS2806 can be used in a wide variety of applications
and deciding on the best performing analog interface circuit
depends on the type of application. The circuit definition
should include considerations of input frequency spectrum
and amplitude, single-ended or differential drive, and available power supplies. For example, communication (frequency domain) applications process frequency bands not
including DC. In imaging (time domain) applications, the
input DC component must be maintained into the ADC.
Features of the ADS2806 include full-scale select (SEL),
external reference, and CM output, providing flexibility to
accommodate a wide range of applications. The ADS2806
should be configured to meet application objectives, while
observing the headroom requirements of the driving amplifiers, to yield the best overall performance.
The ADS2806 input structure allows it to be driven either
single-ended or differentially. Differential operation of the
ADS2806 requires an in-phase input signal and a 180° outof-phase part simultaneously applied to the inputs (IN, IN).
The differential operation offers a number of advantages
that, in most applications, will be instrumental in achieving
the best dynamic performance of the ADS2806:
• The signal swing is half of that required for the singleended operation and, therefore, is less demanding to
achieve while maintaining good linearity performance
from the signal source.
• Even-order harmonics are minimized.
• Improves the noise immunity based on the converter’s
common-mode input rejection.
Using the single-ended mode, the signal is applied to one of
the inputs, while the other input is biased with a DC voltage
to the required common-mode level. Both inputs are equal
in terms of their impedance and performance, except that
applying the signal to the complementary input (IN) instead
of the IN input will invert the input signal relative to the
output code. For example, in the case when the input driver
operates in inverting mode, using IN as the signal input will
restore the phase of the signal to its original orientation.
Time-domain applications may benefit from a single-ended
interface configuration and its reduced circuit complexity.
Driving the ADS2806 with a single-ended signal will result in
a reduction of the distortion performance, while maintaining
good Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). Employing dual-supply
amplifiers and AC-coupling will usually yield the best results, while DC-coupling and/or single-supply amplifiers
impose additional design constraints due to their headroom
requirements, especially when selecting the 3Vp-p input
range. However, single-supply amplifiers have the advantage of inherently limiting their output swing to within the
supply rails. Alternatively, a voltage limiting amplifier, like
the OPA688, may be considered to set fixed-signal limits
and avoid any severe over-range condition for the ADC.
The full-scale input range of the ADS2806 is defined by the
reference voltages. For example, setting the range select
pin to SEL = LOW, and using the internal references
(REFT = +3.0V and REFTB = +2.0V), the full-scale range is
defined as: FSR = 2 • (REFT – REFB) = 2Vp-p.
The trade-off of the differential input configuration versus
the single-ended is its higher complexity. In either case, the
selection of the driver amplifier should be such that the
amplifier’s performance will not degrade the ADC’s performance. The ADS2806 operates on a single power supply
that requires a level shift for ground-based bipolar input
signals to comply with its input voltage range requirements.
The input of the ADS2806 is of a capacitive nature and the
driving source needs to provide the current to charge or
discharge the input sampling capacitor while the track-andhold is in track mode. This effectively results in a dynamic
input impedance that depends on the sampling frequency.
In most applications, it is recommended to add a series
resistor, typically 20Ω to 50Ω, between the drive source and
the converter inputs. This will isolate the capacitive input
from the source, which can be crucial to avoid gain peaking
when using wideband operational amplifiers. Secondly, it

will create a 1st-order, low-pass filter in conjunction with the
specified input capacitance of the ADS2806. Its cutoff frequency can be adjusted even further by adding an external
shunt capacitor from each signal input to ground. The
optimum values of this R-C network depend on a variety of
factors that include the ADS2806 sampling rate, the selected op amp, the interface configuration, and the particular
application (time domain versus frequency domain). Generally, increasing the size of the series resistor and/or capacitor will improve the SNR performance, but depending on the
signal source, large resistor values may be detrimental to
achieving good harmonic distortion. In any case, optimizing
the R-C values for the specific application is encouraged.
Transformer Coupled, Single-Ended to Differential
Configuration
If the application requires a signal conversion from a singleended source to drive the ADS2806 differentially, an RF
transformer might be a good solution. The selected transformer must have a center tap in order to apply the common-mode DC voltage necessary to bias the converter
inputs. AC grounding the center tap will generate the differential signal swing across the secondary winding. Consider
a step-up transformer to take advantage of a signal amplification without the introduction of another noise source.
Furthermore, the reduced signal swing from the source may
lead to improved distortion performance.
The differential input configuration provides the noticeable
advantage of achieving high SFDR over a wide range of
input frequencies. In this mode, both inputs of the ADS2806
see matched impedances. Figure 1 shows the schematic for
the suggested transformer coupled interface circuit. The
component values of the R-C low-pass may be optimized
depending on the desired roll-off frequency. The resistor
across the secondary side (RT) should be calculated using
the equation RT = n2 • RG to match the source impedance
(RG) for good power transfer and VSWR.
The circuit example of Figure 1 shows the voltage feedback
amplifier OPA680 driving the RF transformer, which converts the single-ended signal into a differential. The OPA680
can be employed for either single- or dual-supply operation.
For details on how to optimize its frequency response, refer
to the OPA680 data sheet (SBOS083) on our web site at
www.ti.com. With the 49.9Ω series output resistor, the
amplifier emulates a 50Ω source (RG). Any DC content of
the signal can be easily blocked by a capacitor (0.1µF) to
avoid DC loading of the op amp’s output stage.
AC-Coupled, Single-Ended to Differential Interface
with Dual-Supply Op Amps
Some applications demand a very high dynamic range and
low levels of intermodulation distortion, but usually allow the
input signal to be AC-coupled into the ADC. Appropriate
driver amplifiers need to be selected to maintain the excellent
distortion performance of the ADS2806. Often, these op
amps deliver the lowest distortion with a small, groundcentered signal swing that requires dual power supplies.
Because of the AC-coupling, this requirement can be easily
accomplished, and the needed level shifting of the input
signal can be implemented without affecting the driver circuit.

Figure 2 shows an example of such an interface circuit
specifically designed to maximize the dynamic performance.
The voltage feedback amplifier, OPA642, maintains an
excellent distortion performance for input frequencies of up
to 15MHz. The two amplifiers (A1, A2) are configured as an
inverting and noninverting gain stage to convert the input
signal from single-ended to differential. The nominal gain for
this stage is set to +2V/V. The outputs of the OPA642s are
AC-coupled to the converter’s differential inputs. This will
keep the distortion performance at its best since the signal
range stays within the linear region of the op amp and
sufficient headroom to the supply rails can be maintained.
Four resistors located between the top (REFT) and bottom
(REFB) reference shift the input signal to a common-mode
voltage of approximately +2.5V.
tion front end to the ADS2806. With a minimum gain stability
of +3, the gain resistors have to be modified, as well as
optimizing the series resistor and shunt capacitance at each
of the converter inputs.
AC-Coupled, Single-Ended-to-Differential Interface
for Single-Supply Operation
The previously discussed interface circuit can be modified if
the system only allows for a single-supply operation, e.g.,
VS = +5V. Single-supply operation requires the driver amplifier to be biased as well in order to process a bipolar input
signal. Typically, single-supply amplifiers do not achieve
distortion performance as well as dual-supply op amps. The
driver amplifier’s output swing must exceed the full-scale
input range of the converter. In addition, dual op amps, such
as the current-feedback OPA2681, should be considered
since they provide the closest open-loop gain and phase
matching between the two channels. Shown in Figure 3 is
a single-supply interface circuit for an AC-coupled input
signal. With the ADS2806 set to the 2Vp-p input range, the
The interface circuit of Figure 2 can be modified to extend
the bandwidth to approximately 25MHz, by replacing the

top and bottom references (REFT, REFB) provide an output
voltage of +3.0V and +2.0V, respectively. The CM output of
the ADS2806 is used to bias the inputs of the driving
amplifiers. Using the OPA2681 on a single +5V supply, its
ideal common-mode point is +2.5V, which coincides with
the recommended common-mode input level for the
ADS2806, thus eliminating the need for coupling capacitors
between the amplifiers and the converter.
The addition of a small series resistor (RS) between the
output of the op amps and the input of the ADS2806 will be
beneficial in almost all interface configurations. It will decouple the op amp’s output from the capacitive load and
avoid gain peaking that can result in increased noise. For
best spurious and distortion performance, the resistor value
should be kept below 100Ω. Furthermore, the series resistor, in combination with the shunt capacitor, establishes a
passive low-pass filter limiting the bandwidth for the wideband
noise, thus improving the SNR. The spurious-free dynamic
range of this single-supply front end is limited by the 2ndharmonic distortion. An improvement of several dB may be
realized by adding a pull-down resistor (RP) at the output of
each amplifier. This pulls a DC bias current out of the output
stage of the amplifier. It is set to approximately 5mA, see
Figure 3, but will vary depending on the amplifier used.
Single-Ended, AC-Coupled, Dual-Supply Interface
The circuit provided in Figure 4 shows typical connections
for using the ADS2806 in a single-ended input configuration. The bias requirements for AC-coupling are provided by
a single resistor to the CM output lead. The single-ended
mode of operation should be considered for ease of interface complexity and applications where the dynamic performance can be compromised. The series resistor RS, along
with the shunt capacitance, provide the means to adjust the
bandwidth and optimize the performance towards good
signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, the amplifier configuration
can be easily modified for an anti-aliasing filter based on a
2nd-order Sallen-Key or Multiple-Feedback topology.
The interface example, shown in Figure 4, operates with the
full-scale range of the ADS2806 set to 2Vp-p, leaving
sufficient headroom for the output of the OPA642 to drive
the converter and maintain low signal distortion.

DC-Coupled, Differential Driver with Level Shift
Several applications will require that the bandwidth of the
signal path include DC, in which case, the signal has to be
DC-coupled to the ADC. An op amp based interface circuit
can be configured to scale and level shift the input signal to
be compatible with the selected input range of the ADC. The
circuit shown in Figure 5 employs a dual op amp, OPA2681,
to drive the input of the ADS2806 differentially. The singlesupply, general-purpose op amp OPA234 is added to buffer
the common-mode voltage of +2.5V, available at the CM pin,
and apply it to the input of the driver amplifier. This sets the
correct DC voltage to bias the inputs of the ADS2806. It
should be noted that any DC voltage differences between the
IN and IN inputs of the ADS2806 will result in an offset error.
can be either hardwired to ground or left unconnected, which
will default the converter to a 2Vp-p full-scale input range
(FSR). While set for the 2Vp-p range, the top and bottom
reference voltages will be REFT = +3.0V and REFB = +2.0V.
Switching to the 3Vp-p range changes those voltages to
REFT = +3.25V and REFB = +1.75V. The reference buffers
can be utilized to supply up to 1mA/channel (2mA total, sink
and source) to external circuitry. To ensure proper operation
with any reference configuration, it is necessary to provide
solid bypassing at all reference pins in order to keep the clock
feedthrough to a minimum, as shown in Figure 6. Good
performance requires using 0.1µF low inductance capacitors.
All bypassing capacitors should be located as close to their
respective pins as possible.
Using the OPA2681, this circuit can be operated either with
a single or a dual ±5V supply.
REFERENCE OPERATION
The internal reference consists of a bandgap voltage reference, the drivers for the top and bottom reference, and the
resistive reference ladder. References are internally connected, e.g.: REFTA is connected to REFTB, and REFBA is
connected to REFBB. The bandgap reference circuit includes
logic functions that allow setting the analog input swing of the
ADS2806 to a differential full-scale range of either 2Vp-p or
3Vp-p by simply tying the SEL pin to a LOW or HIGH
potential, respectively. While operating the ADS2806 in the
external reference mode, the buffer amplifiers for REFT and
REFB are disabled. The ADS2806 has an internal 50kΩ pulldown resistor at the range select pin (SEL). Therefore, this pin

USING EXTERNAL REFERENCES
For even more design flexibility, the internal reference can
be disabled and an external reference voltage used. Driving
both channels with an external reference offers the best
performance, as it allows the channels to maintain balance.
The utilization of an external reference may be considered
for applications requiring higher accuracy, improved temperature performance, or a wide adjustment range of the
converter’s full-scale range. In multichannel applications,
the use of a common external reference has the benefit of
obtaining better matching and drift of the full-scale range
between converters. Figure 7 gives an example of an
external reference circuit using a single-supply, low-power,
dual op amp (OPA2234).
The external references can vary as long as the value of the
external top reference (REFT) stays within the range of
VS – 1.70V and REFB + 0.4V, and the external bottom
reference (REFB) stays within 1.70V and REFT – 0.4V.
Note that the function of the range selector pin (SEL) is
disabled while the converter operates in external reference
mode. Setting the ADS2806 for external reference mode
requires the INT/EXT pin (pin 18) to be HIGH.
The logic level applied to the INT/EXT pin of the ADS2806
determines if the converter operates with either the built-in
reference or external reference voltages. Due to this function pin having an internal 50kΩ pull-up resistor, the default
configuration is external reference mode. Grounding this pin
will activate the internal reference option.
The input track-and-hold amplifier is differential. A positive
1Vp-p on the IN and its compliment, a negative 1Vp-p, on
the IN (see Figure 3) results in 2Vp-p on the output of the
track-and-hold. Likewise, 2Vp-p on the IN and 0Vp-p on the
IN (see Figure 4) results in 2Vp-p on the output of the trackand-hold. Therefore, the reference voltages, REFT and
REFB, are the same for both differential and single-ended
inputs, as shown in Table I.

The external references may be changed for different tasks.
The ADS2806 will follow the external references with a
latency of 8 to 10 clock cycles. If it is desired to use INT/EXT
and SEL to change the configuration of a circuit for different
tasks, a large amount of time must be allowed. This time
could be hundreds of microseconds. Refer to the Diagram
on the front page. Note that there is no disconnect for
external references. If it is desired to switch between internal and external references, disconnect switches must be
added between the external references and the ADS2806.

DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Clock Input Requirements
SINGLE-ENDED INPUT
(IN = CM, Pins 52, 61)
Both channels of the ADS2806 are controlled by the same
clock on the rising edge. Utilizing a single clock reduces
timing uncertainty in the sampling of the two channels.
Clock jitter is critical to the SNR performance of high-speed,
high-resolution ADCs. Clock jitter leads to aperture jitter (tA),
which adds noise to the signal being converted. The
ADS2806 samples the input signal on the rising edge of the
CLK input. Therefore, this edge should have the lowest
possible jitter. The jitter noise contribution to total SNR is
given by the following equation. If this value is near your
system requirements, input clock jitter must be reduced.

Particularly in undersampling applications, special consideration should be given to clock jitter. The clock input should be
treated as an analog input in order to achieve the highest
level of performance. Any overshoot or undershoot of the
clock signal may cause degradation of the performance.
When digitizing at high sampling rates, the clock should have
50% duty cycle (tH = tL), along with fast rise and fall times of
2ns or less. The clock input of the ADS2806 can be driven
with either 3V or 5V logic levels. Using low-voltage logic (3V)
may lead to improved AC performance of the converter.
Over Range Indicator (OVR)
If the analog input voltage exceeds the set full-scale range,
an over range condition exists. The “OVR” pin of the ADS2806
can be used to monitor any such out-of-range condition. This
“OVR” output is updated along with the data output corresponding to the particular sampled analog input voltage.
Therefore, the OVR data is subject to the same pipeline
delay as the digital data. The OVR output is LOW when the
input voltage is within the defined input range. It will go HIGH
if the applied signal exceeds the full-scale range.
Data Outputs
The digital outputs of the ADS2806 can be set to a highimpedance state by driving OE (pins 6 and 42) with a logic
HIGH. Normal operation is achieved with pins 6 and 42
LOW due to internal pull-down resistors. This function is
provided for testability purposes and is not meant to drive
digital buses directly, or be dynamically changed during the
conversion process. The output data format of the ADS2806
is in positive Straight Offset Binary code, as shown in
Tables II and III. This format can easily be converted into the
Binary Two’s Complement code by inverting the MSB.
Data output is in the form of two parallel words. It is
recommended that the capacitive loading on the data lines
be as low as possible (< 15pF). Higher capacitive loading
will cause larger dynamic currents as the digital outputs are
changing. Those high current surges can feed back to the
analog portion of the ADS2806 and affect the performance.
If necessary, external buffers or latches close to the
converter’s output pins may be used to minimize the capacitive loading. They also provide the added benefit of isolating
the ADS2806 from high-frequency digital noise on the bus
coupling back into the converter.
Digital Output Driver Supply (VDRV)
Each channel of the ADS2806 has a separate dedicated
supply pin (8, 40) for the output logic drivers, VDRV, which
are not internally connected to the other supply pins. Setting
the voltage at VDRV to +5V or +3V, the ADS2806 produces
corresponding logic levels and can directly interface to the
selected logic family. The output stages are designed to
supply sufficient current to drive a variety of logic families.
However, it is recommended to use the ADS2806 with +3V
logic supply. This will lower the power dissipation in the
output stages due to the lower output swing and reduce
current glitches on the supply line that may affect the AC
performance of the converter. In some applications, it might
be advantageous to decouple the VDRV pin with additional
capacitors or a pi-filter.
OUTPUT ENABLE (OE )
The digital outputs of the ADS2806 can be set to high
impedance (tri-state) by driving OE A and OE B (pins 6, 42)
with a logic HIGH. Normal operation is achieved with the
same pins pulled LOW.

GROUNDING AND DECOUPLING
it is important to keep the analog signal traces separated
from any digital lines to prevent noise coupling onto the
analog signal path. Due to its high sampling rate, the
ADS2806 generates high-frequency current transients and
noise (clock feedthrough) that are fed back into the supply
and reference lines. This requires that all supply and reference pins are sufficiently bypassed. Figure 8 shows the
recommended decoupling scheme for the ADS2806. In
most cases, 0.1µF ceramic chip capacitors at each pin are
adequate to keep the impedance low over a wide frequency
range. Their effectiveness largely depends on the proximity
to the individual supply pin. Therefore, they should be
located as close to the supply pins as possible. If system
supplies are not a low enough impedance, adding a small
tantalum capacitor will yield the best results.
Proper grounding, bypassing, short trace lengths, and the
use of power and ground planes are particularly important
for high-frequency designs. Multilayer PC boards are recommended for best performance since they offer distinct
advantages, such as minimizing ground impedance, separation of signal layers by ground layers, etc. The ADS2806
should be treated as an analog component. Whenever
possible, the supply pins should be powered by the analog
supply. This will ensure the most consistent results, since
digital supply lines often carry high levels of noise that
otherwise would be coupled into the converter and degrade
the achievable performance. The ground pins should directly connect to an analog ground plane that covers the PC
board area under the converter. While designing the layout
