3 Description
The ADS4128 is a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) with sampling rates up to 200 MSPS. This
device uses innovative design techniques to achieve
high dynamic performance, while consuming
extremely low power at 1.8-V supply. The device is
well-suited
for
multi-carrier,
wide-bandwidth
communications applications.
The ADS4128 has fine-gain options that can be used
to improve SFDR performance at lower full-scale
input ranges, especially at high input frequencies. It
includes a dc offset correction loop that can be used
to cancel the ADC offset. At lower sampling rates, the
ADC automatically operates at scaled-down power
with no loss in performance.
The ADS4128 is available in a compact VQFN-48
package and is specified over the industrial
temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
When AVDD is turned off, it is recommended to switch off the input clock (or ensure the voltage on CLKP and CLKM is less than |0.3 V|.
This setting prevents the ESD protection diodes at the clock input pins from turning on.

The maximum DRVDD current with CMOS interface depends on the actual load capacitance on the digital output lines. Note that the
maximum recommended load capacitance on each digital output line is 10 pF.
In CMOS mode, the DRVDD current scales with the sampling frequency, the load capacitance on the output pins, input frequency, and
the supply voltage (see the CMOS Interface Power Dissipation section in the Device Functional Modes).

Timing parameters are ensured by design and characterization but are not production tested.
CLOAD is the effective external single-ended load capacitance between each output pin and ground.
RLOAD is the differential load resistance between the LVDS output pair.
At higher frequencies, tPDI is greater than one clock period and overall latency = ADC latency + 1.
Measurements are done with a transmission line of 100-Ω characteristic impedance between the device and the load. Setup and hold
time specifications take into account the effect of jitter on the output data and clock.
The LVDS timings are unchanged for low latency disabled and enabled.
Data valid refers to a logic high of 1.26 V and a logic low of 0.54 V.
Low-latency mode enabled.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The ADS4128 is a high-performance, low-power, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with maximum
sampling rates up to 200 MSPS. The conversion process is initiated by a rising edge of the external input clock
when the analog input signal is sampled. The sampled signal is sequentially converted by a series of small
resolution stages, with the outputs combined in a digital correction logic block. At every clock edge the sample
propagates through the pipeline, resulting in a data latency of 10 clock cycles. The output is available as 12-bit
data, in DDR LVDS mode or CMOS mode, and coded in either straight offset binary or binary twos complement
format.

8.3.2 Digital Functions and Low-Latency Mode
The device has several useful digital functions such as test patterns, gain, and offset correction. All of these
functions require extra clock cycles for operation and increase the overall latency and power of the device.
Alternately, the device has a low-latency mode in which the raw ADC output is routed to the output data pins with
a latency of 10 clock cycles. In this mode, the digital functions are bypassed. Figure 36 shows more details of the
processing after the ADC.
The device is in low-latency mode after reset. In order to use any digital functions, low-latency mode must first be
disabled by setting the DIS LOW LATENCY register bit to 1. Afterwards, the respective register bits must be
programmed as described in the following sections and in the Register Maps section.

8.3.3 Gain for SFDR and SNR Trade-Off
The ADS4128 includes gain settings that can be used to get improved SFDR performance. Gain is
programmable from 0 dB to 6 dB (in 0.5-dB steps) using the GAIN register bits. For each gain setting, the analog
input full-scale range scales proportionally, as shown in Table 7.
The SFDR improvement is achieved at the expense of SNR; for each gain setting, SNR degrades approximately
between 0.5 dB and 1 dB. SNR degradation is reduced at high input frequencies. As a result, gain is very useful
at high input frequencies because SFDR improvement is significant with marginal SNR degradation. Therefore,
gain can be used to trade-off between SFDR and SNR.
After a reset, the device is in low-latency mode and the gain function is disabled. To use gain:
• First, disable low-latency mode (DIS LOW LATENCY = 1).
• This setting enables the gain and puts the device in a 0-dB gain mode.
• For other gain settings, program the GAIN bits.

8.3.4 Offset Correction
The ADS4128 has an internal offset correction algorithm that estimates and corrects dc offset up to ±10 mV. The
correction can be enabled using the EN OFFSET CORR serial register bit. Once enabled, the algorithm
estimates the channel offset and applies the correction every clock cycle. The correction loop time constant is a
function of the sampling clock frequency. The time constant can be controlled using the OFFSET CORR TIME
CONSTANT register bits, as described in Table 8.

OFFSET CORR TIME CONSTANT
After the offset is estimated, the correction can be frozen by setting FREEZE OFFSET CORR = 1. Once frozen,
the last estimated value is used for every clock cycle offset correction. Note that offset correction is disabled by
default after reset.
After a reset, the device is in low-latency mode and offset correction is disabled. To use offset correction:
• First, disable low-latency mode (DIS LOW LATENCY = 1).
• Then set EN OFFSET CORR to 1 and program the required time constant.
8.3.5 Power Down
The ADS4128 has three power-down modes: power-down global, standby, and output buffer disable.
8.3.5.1 Global Power-Down
In this mode, the entire chip (including the ADC, internal reference, and the output buffers) are powered down,
resulting in reduced total power dissipation of approximately 10 mW. The output buffers are in a high-impedance
state. The wake-up time from the global power-down to data becoming valid in normal mode is typically 100 µs.
To enter the global power-down mode, set the PDN GLOBAL register bit.
8.3.5.2 Standby
In this mode, only the ADC is powered down and the internal references are active, resulting in a fast wake-up
time of 5 µs. The total power dissipation in standby mode is approximately 185 mW. To enter standby mode, set
the STBY register bit.
8.3.5.3 Output Buffer Disable
The output buffers can be disabled and put in a high-impedance state; wakeup time from this mode is fast,
approximately 100 ns. This mode can be controlled by using the PDN OBUF register bit or the OE pin.
8.3.5.4 Input Clock Stop
In addition, the converter enters low-power mode when the input clock frequency falls below 1 MSPS. Power
dissipation is approximately 80 mW.
8.3.6 Power-Supply Sequence
During power-up, the AVDD and DRVDD supplies can come up in any sequence. The two supplies are
separated in the device. Externally, they can be driven from separate supplies or from a single supply.
8.3.7 Output Data Format
Two output data formats are supported: binary twos complement and offset binary. These formats can be
selected by using the DATA FORMAT serial interface register bit or controlling the DFS pin in parallel
configuration mode. In the event of an input voltage overdrive, the digital outputs go to the appropriate full-scale
level.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
The ADS4128 has several modes that can be configured using a serial programming interface, as described in
Table 9, Table 10, and Table 11. In addition, the device has two dedicated parallel pins for quickly configuring
commonly used functions. The parallel pins are DFS (analog 4-level control pin) and OE (digital control pin). The
analog control pins can be easily configured using a simple resistor divider (with 10% tolerance resistors).

When the serial interface is not used, the SDATA pin can also be used as a digital control pin to place the device
in standby mode. To enable this, the RESET pin must be tied high. In this mode, SEN and SCLK do not have
any alternative functions. Keep SEN tied high and SCLK tied low on the board.

8.4.1 Output Interface Modes
The ADS4128 provides 12-bit data and an output clock synchronized with the data.
8.4.1.1 Output Interface
Two output interface options are available: double data rate (DDR) LVDS and parallel CMOS. These modes can
be selected by using the LVDS CMOS serial interface register bit or the DFS pin.
8.4.1.2 DDR LVDS Outputs
In this mode, the data bits and clock are output using low voltage differential signal (LVDS) levels. Two data bits
are multiplexed and output on each LVDS differential pair, as shown in Figure 38.
Even data bits (D0, D2, D4, and so on) are output at the CLKOUTP falling edge and the odd data bits (D1, D3,
D5, and so on) are output at the CLKOUTP rising edge. Both the CLKOUTP rising and falling edges must be
used to capture all 12 data bits, as shown in Figure 39.

8.4.1.3 LVDS Output Data and Clock Buffers
The equivalent circuit of each LVDS output buffer is shown in Figure 40. After reset, the buffer presents a 100-Ω
output impedance to match the external 100-Ω termination.
VDIFF voltage is nominally 350 mV, resulting in a ±350-mV output swing with a 100-Ω external termination. VDIFF
voltage is programmable using the LVDS SWING register bits from ±125 mV to ±570 mV.
Additionally, a mode exists to double the LVDS buffer strength to support 50-Ω differential termination. This
mode can be used when the output LVDS signal is routed to two separate receiver chips, each using a 100-Ω
termination. This mode can be enabled using the LVDS DATA STRENGTH and LVDS CLKOUT STRENGTH
register bits for data and output clock buffers, respectively.
The buffer output impedance behaves in the same way as a source-side series termination. By absorbing
reflections from the receiver end, it helps to improve signal integrity.

8.4.1.4 Parallel CMOS Interface
In CMOS mode, each data bit is output on a separate pin as the CMOS voltage level, for every clock cycle. The
output clock CLKOUT rising edge can be used to latch data in the receiver. Figure 41 depicts the CMOS output
interface.
Switching noise (caused by CMOS output data transitions) can couple into the analog inputs and degrade SNR.
The coupling and SNR degradation increases as the output buffer drive is made stronger. To minimize this
degradation, the CMOS output buffers are designed with controlled drive strength. The default drive strength
ensures a wide data stable window (even at 200 MSPS) is provided so the data outputs have minimal load
capacitance. It is recommended to use short traces (one to two inches or 2,54 cm to 5,08 cm) terminated with
less than 5-pF load capacitance; see Figure 42.
In some high-speed applications using CMOS interface, it may be required to use an external clock to capture
data. For such cases, delay from the input clock to output data and the data valid times are specified for higher
sampling frequencies. These timings can be used to delay the input clock appropriately and use it to capture
data.

8.4.1.5 CMOS Interface Power Dissipation
With CMOS outputs, the DRVDD current scales with the sampling frequency and load capacitance on every
output pin. The maximum DRVDD current occurs when each output bit toggles between 0 and 1 every clock
cycle. In actual applications, this condition is unlikely to occur. The actual DRVDD current is determined by the
average number of output bits switching, which is a function of the sampling frequency and the nature of the
analog input signal.
Digital Current as a Result of CMOS Output Switching = CL × DRVDD × (N × fAVG)
where:
CL = load capacitance,
N × FAVG = average number of output bits switching.
(1)
shows the current across sampling frequencies at a 2-MHz analog input frequency.
8.4.1.6 Input Over-Voltage Indication (OVR Pin)
The device has an OVR pin that provides information about analog input overload. At any clock cycle, if the
sampled input voltage exceeds the positive or negative full-scale range, the OVR pin goes high. OVR remains
high as long as the overload condition persists. The OVR pin is a CMOS output buffer (running off of a DRVDD
supply), independent of the output data interface (DDR LVDS or CMOS).
For a positive overload, the D[11:0] output data bits are FFFh in offset binary output format and 7FFh in twos
complement output format. For a negative input overload, the output code is 000h in offset binary output format
and 800h in twos complement output format.

8.5 Programming
8.5.1 Serial Register Readout
The serial register readout function allows the contents of the internal registers to be read back on the
OVR_SDOUT pin. This readback may be useful as a diagnostic check to verify the serial interface
communication between the external controller and the ADC.
After power-up and device reset, the OVR_SDOUT pin functions as an over-range indicator pin by default. When
the readout mode is enabled, OVR_SDOUT outputs the contents of the selected register serially:
1. Set the READOUT register bit to 1. This setting puts the device in serial readout mode and disables any
further writes to the internal registers except the register at address 0. Note that the READOUT bit itself is
also located in register 0. The device can exit readout mode by writing READOUT = 0. Only the contents of
the register at address 0 cannot be read in the register readout mode.
2. Initiate a serial interface cycle specifying the address of the register (A7 to A0) whose content has to be
read.
3. The device serially outputs the contents (D7 to D0) of the selected register on the OVR_SDOUT pin.
4. The external controller can latch the contents at the falling edge of SCLK.
5. To exit the serial readout mode, the reset register bit READOUT = 0 enables writes into all registers of the
device. At this point, the OVR_SDOUT pin becomes an over-range indicator pin.
8.5.2 Serial Interface
The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has a set of internal registers that can be accessed by the serial interface
formed by the SEN (serial interface enable), SCLK (serial interface clock), and SDATA (serial interface data)
pins. Serial shift of bits into the device is enabled when SEN is low. Serial data SDATA are latched at every
SCLK falling edge when SEN is active (low). The serial data are loaded into the register at every 16th SCLK
falling edge when SEN is low. If the word length exceeds a multiple of 16 bits, the excess bits are ignored. Data
can be loaded in multiples of 16-bit words within a single active SEN pulse. The first eight bits form the register
address and the remaining eight bits are the register data. The interface can function with an SCLK frequency
from 20 MHz down to very low speeds (of a few Hertz) and also with a non-50% SCLK duty cycle.
8.5.2.1 Register Initialization
After power-up, the internal registers must be initialized to default values. This initialization can be accomplished
in one of two ways:
1. Either through hardware reset by applying a high pulse on the RESET pin (of widths greater than 10 ns), as
shown in Figure 7; or
2. By applying a software reset. When using the serial interface, set the RESET bit (D7 in register 00h) high.
This setting initializes the internal registers to default values and then self-resets the RESET bit low. In this
case, the RESET pin is kept low.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
9.1.1 Analog Input
The analog input consists of a switched-capacitor-based, differential, sample-and-hold architecture. This
differential topology results in very good ac performance even for high input frequencies at high sampling rates.
The INP and INM pins must be externally biased around a common-mode voltage of 0.95 V, available on the
VCM pin. For a full-scale differential input, each input INP and INM pin must swing symmetrically between (VCM
+ 0.5 V) and (VCM – 0.5 V), resulting in a 2-VPP differential input swing. The input sampling circuit has a high
3-dB bandwidth that extends up to 550 MHz (measured from the input pins to the sampled voltage). Figure 43
shows an equivalent circuit for the analog input.

9.1.2 Driving Circuit
Two example driving circuit configurations are shown in Figure 44 and Figure 45—one is optimized for low
bandwidth and the other is optimized for high bandwidth to support higher input frequencies. In Figure 44, an
external R-C-R filter with 3.3 pF is used to help absorb sampling glitches. The R-C-R filter limits the drive circuit
bandwidth, making it suitable for low input frequencies (up to 250 MHz). Transformers such as ADT1-1WT or
WBC1-1 can be used up to 250 MHz.
For higher input frequencies, the R-C-R filter can be dropped. Together with the lower series resistors (5 Ω to
10 Ω), this drive circuit provides higher bandwidth to support frequencies up to 500 MHz (as shown in Figure 45).
A transmission line transformer (such as ADTL2-18) can be used.
Note that both drive circuits are terminated by 50 Ω near the ADC side. The termination is accomplished by a 25Ω resistor from each input to the 0.95-V common-mode (VCM) from the device. This termination allows the
analog inputs to be biased around the required common-mode voltage.

The transformer parasitic capacitance mismatch (between the windings) results in degraded even-order harmonic
performance. Connecting two identical RF transformers back-to-back helps minimize this mismatch and good
performance is obtained for high-frequency input signals. An additional termination resistor pair may be required
between the two transformers; refer to Figure 44 and Figure 45. The termination center point is connected to
ground to improve the balance between the P (positive) and M (negative) sides. The termination values between
the transformers and on the secondary side must be chosen to obtain an effective 50 Ω (for a 50-Ω source
impedance).
Figure 44 and Figure 45 use 1:1 transformers with a 50-Ω source. As explained in the Drive Circuit Requirements
section, this architecture helps to present a low source impedance to absorb sampling glitches. With a 1:4
transformer, the source impedance is 200 Ω. The higher source impedance is unable to absorb the sampling
glitches effectively and can lead to degradation in performance (compared to using 1:1 transformers).
In almost all cases, either a band-pass or low-pass filter is needed to get the desired dynamic performance, as
shown in Figure 46. Such a filter presents low source impedance at the high frequencies corresponding to the
sampling glitch and helps avoid performance loss with the high source impedance.

9.1.2.1 Drive Circuit Requirements
For optimum performance, the analog inputs must be driven differentially. This technique improves the commonmode noise immunity and even-order harmonic rejection. A 5-Ω to 15-Ω resistor in series with each input pin is
recommended to damp out ringing caused by package parasitics. It is also necessary to present low impedance
(less than 50 Ω) for the common-mode switching currents. This impedance can be achieved by using two
resistors from each input terminated to the common-mode voltage (VCM).
Note that the device includes an internal R-C filter from each input to ground. The purpose of this filter is to
absorb the glitches created when the sampling capacitors open and close. The R-C filter cutoff frequency
involves a trade-off. A lower cutoff frequency (larger C) absorbs glitches better, but also reduces the input
bandwidth and maximum input frequency that can be supported. On the other hand, with no internal R-C filter,
high input frequency can be supported but now the sampling glitches must be supplied by the external driving
circuit. The inductance of the package bond wires limits the ability of the external driving circuit to support the
sampling glitches.
In the ADS4128, the R-C component values have been optimized while supporting high input bandwidth
(550 MHz). However, in applications where very high input frequency support is not required, glitch filtering can
be further improved with an external R-C-R filter; see Figure 44 and Figure 45).
In addition, the drive circuit may have to be designed to provide a low insertion loss over the desired frequency
range and matched source impedance. While designing the drive circuit, the ADC impedance must be
considered. Figure 47 and Figure 48 show the impedance (ZIN = RIN || CIN) looking into the ADC input pins.

9.1.3 Analog Input
9.1.3.1 Input Common-Mode
To ensure a low-noise, common-mode reference, the VCM pin is filtered with a 0.1-µF low-inductance capacitor
connected to ground. The VCM pin is designed to directly drive the ADC inputs. Each ADC input pin sinks a
common-mode current of approximately 0.6 µA per MSPS of clock frequency.
9.1.4 Clock Input
The ADS4128 clock inputs can be driven differentially (sine, LVPECL, or LVDS) or single-ended (LVCMOS), with
little or no difference in performance between them. The common-mode voltage of the clock inputs is set to VCM
using internal 5-kΩ resistors. This setting allows the use of transformer-coupled drive circuits for sine-wave clock
or ac-coupling for LVPECL and LVDS clock sources. Figure 49 shows an equivalent circuit for the input clock.

A single-ended CMOS clock can be ac-coupled to the CLKP input, with CLKM connected to ground with a 0.1-μF
capacitor, as shown in Figure 50. For best performance, the clock inputs must be driven differentially, reducing
susceptibility to common-mode noise. For high input frequency sampling, it is recommended to use a clock
source with very low jitter. Band-pass filtering of the clock source can help reduce the effects of jitter. There is no
change in performance with a non-50% duty cycle clock input. Figure 51 shows a differential circuit.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Analog Input
The analog input of the ADS4128 is typically driven by a fully differential amplifier. The amplifier must have
sufficient bandwidth for the frequencies of interest. The noise and distortion performance of the amplifier affects
the combined performance of the ADC and amplifier. The amplifier is often AC coupled to the ADC to allow both
the amplifier and ADC to operate at the optimal common-mode voltages. The user can DC couple the amplifier to
the ADC if required. An alternate approach is to drive the ADC using transformers. DC coupling cannot be used
with the transformer approach.
9.2.2.2 Clock Driver
The ADS4128 should be driven by a high performance clock driver such as a clock jitter cleaner. The clock must
have low noise to maintain optimal performance. LVPECL is the most common clocking interface, but LVDS and
LVCMOS can also be used. Do not drive the clock input from an FPGA unless the noise degradation can be
tolerated, such as for input signals near DC where the clock noise impact is minimal.
9.2.2.3 Digital Interface
The ADS4128 supports both LVDS and CMOS interfaces. The LVDS interface should be used for best
performance when operating at maximum sampling rate. The LVDS outputs can be connected directly to the
FPGA without any additional components. When using CMOS outputs, resistors must be placed in series with
the outputs to reduce the output current spikes and limit the performance degradation. The resistors must be
large enough to limit current spikes, but not so large as to significantly distort the digital output waveform. An
external CMOS buffer must be used when driving distances greater than a few inches, to reduce ground bounce
within the ADC.

SBAS578A – MAY 2012 – REVISED JANUARY 2016
10 Power Supply Recommendations
The ADS4128 has two power supplies, one analog (AVDD) and one digital (DRVDD) supply. Both supplies have
a nominal voltage of 1.8 V. The AVDD supply is noise sensitive and the digital supply is not.
10.1 Sharing DRVDD and AVDD Supplies
For best performance, the AVDD supply should be driven by a low-noise linear regulator (LDO) and separated
from the DRVDD supply. AVDD and DRVDD can share a single supply, but they should be isolated by a ferrite
bead and bypass capacitors, in a PI-filter configuration, at a minimum. The digital noise is concentrated at the
sampling frequency and harmonics of the sampling frequency, and could contain noise related to the sampled
signal. While developing schematics, leave extra placeholders for additional supply filtering.
10.2 Using DC/DC Power Supplies
DC/DC switching power supplies can be used to power DRVDD without issue. AVDD can be powered from a
switching regulator. Noise and spurs on the AVDD power supply affect the SNR and SFDR of the ADC, and
appear near DC and as a modulated component around the input frequency. If a switching regulator is used, it
should have minimal voltage ripple. Supply filtering should be used to limit the amount of spurious noise at the
AVDD supply pins. Extra placeholders should be placed on the schematic for additional filtering. Optimize
filtering in the final system to achieve the desired performance. The choice of power supply ultimately depends
on the system requirements. For instance, if very low phase noise is required, do not use a switching regulator.
10.3 Power Supply Bypassing
Because the ADS4128 already includes internal decoupling, minimal external decoupling can be used without
loss in performance. Decoupling capacitors can help filter external power-supply noise; thus, the optimum
number of capacitors depends on the actual application. A 0.1-uF capacitor is recommended near each supply
pin. The decoupling capacitors should be placed very close to the converter supply pins.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
11.1.1 Grounding
A single ground plane is sufficient to give good performance, provided the analog, digital, and clock sections of
the board are cleanly partitioned. See the ADS414x, ADS412x EVM User Guide (SLWU067) for details on layout
and grounding.
11.1.2 Supply Decoupling
Because the ADS4128 already includes internal decoupling, minimal external decoupling can be used without
loss in performance. Note that decoupling capacitors can help filter external power-supply noise, so the optimum
number of capacitors depends on the actual application. The decoupling capacitors should be placed very close
to the converter supply pins.
11.1.3 Exposed Pad
In addition to providing a path for heat dissipation, the thermal pad is also electrically internally connected to the
digital ground. Therefore, it is necessary to solder the exposed pad to the ground plane for best thermal and
electrical performance. For detailed information, see application notes QFN Layout Guidelines (SLOA122) and
QFN/SON PCB Attachment (SLUA271), both available for download at www.ti.com.

12 Device and Documentation Support
12.1 Device Support
12.1.1 Device Nomenclature
Analog Bandwidth – The analog input frequency at which the power of the fundamental is reduced by 3 dB with
respect to the low-frequency value.
Aperture Delay – The delay in time between the rising edge of the input sampling clock and the actual time at
which the sampling occurs. This delay is different across channels. The maximum variation is specified as
aperture delay variation (channel-to-channel).
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter) – The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Clock Pulse Width/Duty Cycle – The duty cycle of a clock signal is the ratio of the time the clock signal remains
at a logic high (clock pulse width) to the period of the clock signal. Duty cycle is typically expressed as a
percentage. A perfect differential sine-wave clock results in a 50% duty cycle.
Maximum Conversion Rate – The maximum sampling rate at which specified operation is given. All parametric
testing is performed at this sampling rate unless otherwise noted.
Minimum Conversion Rate – The minimum sampling rate at which the ADC functions.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) – An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions at analog input values spaced exactly
1 LSB apart. The DNL is the deviation of any single step from this ideal value, measured in units of LSBs.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL) – The INL is the deviation of the ADC transfer function from a best fit line determined
by a least squares curve fit of that transfer function, measured in units of LSBs.
Gain Error – Gain error is the deviation of the ADC actual input full-scale range from its ideal value. The gain
error is given as a percentage of the ideal input full-scale range. Gain error has two components: error as a
result of reference inaccuracy and error as a result of the channel. Both errors are specified independently as
EGREF and EGCHAN.
To a first-order approximation, the total gain error is ETOTAL ~ EGREF + EGCHAN.
For example, if ETOTAL = ±0.5%, the full-scale input varies from (1 – 0.5/100) × FSideal to (1 + 0.5/100) × FSideal.
Offset Error – The offset error is the difference, given in number of LSBs, between the ADC actual average idle
channel output code and the ideal average idle channel output code. This quantity is often mapped into millivolts.
Temperature Drift – The temperature drift coefficient (with respect to gain error and offset error) specifies the
change per degree Celsius of the parameter from TMIN to TMAX. It is calculated by dividing the maximum deviation
of the parameter across the TMIN to TMAX range by the difference TMAX – TMIN.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio – SNR is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the noise floor power (PN),
excluding the power at dc and the first nine harmonics.
SNR = 10Log10
PS
PN
(2)
SNR is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the
reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter fullscale range.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD) – SINAD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the power
of all the other spectral components including noise (PN) and distortion (PD), but excluding dc.
SINAD = 10Log10
PS
PN + PD
(3)
SINAD is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the
reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter fullscale range.

Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion – IMD3 is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (at frequencies f1

in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the reference, or dBFS (dB

in analog supply voltage. The dc PSRR is typically given in units of mV/V.
AC Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (AC PSRR) – AC PSRR is the measure of rejection of variations in the
supply voltage by the ADC. If ΔVSUP is the change in supply voltage and ΔVOUT is the resultant change of the
ADC output code (referred to the input), then:
DVOUT
PSRR = 20Log 10
(Expressed in dBc)
DVSUP

Voltage Overload Recovery – The number of clock cycles taken to recover to less than 1% error after an
overload on the analog inputs. This is tested by separately applying a sine wave signal with 6-dB positive and
negative overload. The deviation of the first few samples after the overload (from the expected values) is noted.
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) – CMRR is the measure of rejection of variation in the analog input
common-mode by the ADC. If ΔVCM_IN is the change in the common-mode voltage of the input pins and ΔVOUT is
the resulting change of the ADC output code (referred to the input), then:
DVOUT
CMRR = 20Log10
(Expressed in dBc)
DVCM

Crosstalk (only for multi-channel ADCs) – This is a measure of the internal coupling of a signal from an
adjacent channel into the channel of interest. It is specified separately for coupling from the immediate
neighboring channel (near-channel) and for coupling from channel across the package (far-channel). It is usually
measured by applying a full-scale signal in the adjacent channel. Crosstalk is the ratio of the power of the
coupling signal (as measured at the output of the channel of interest) to the power of the signal applied at the
adjacent channel input. It is typically expressed in dBc.
