DESCRIPTION
The ADS5273 is a high-performance, 70MSPS, 8-channel parallel analog-to-digital converter (ADC). An internal reference is provided, simplifying system design requirements. Low power consumption allows for the highest of system integration densities. Serial LVDS outputs reduce the number of interface lines and package size. In LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling), an integrated phase lock loop multiplies the incoming ADC sampling clock by a factor of 6. This high-frequency LVDS clock is used in the data serialization and transmission process and is converted to an LVDS signal for transmission in parallel with the data. Providing this additional LVDS clock allows for easy delay matching. The word output of each internal ADC is serialized and transmitted either MSB or LSB first. The bit following the rising edge of the ADC clock output is the first bit of the word.

THEORY OF OPERATION
OVERVIEW
The ADS5273 is an 8-channel, high-speed, CMOS ADC, consisting of a high-performance sample-and-hold circuit at the input, followed by a 12-bit ADC. The 12 bits given out by each channel are serialized and sent out on a single pair of pins in LVDS format. All eight channels of the ADS5273 operate from a single clock referred to as ADCLK. The sampling clock for each of the eight channels is generated from the input clock using a carefully matched clock buffer tree. The 12X clock required for the serializer is generated internally from ADCLK using a phase lock loop (PLL). A 6X and a 1X clock are also output in LVDS format along with the data to enable easy data capture. The ADS5273 operates from an internally generated reference voltage that is trimmed to ensure matching across multiple devices on a board. This feature eliminates the need for external routing of reference lines and also improves matching of the gain across devices. The nominal values of REFP and REFN are 2V and 1V, respectively. These values imply that a differential input of −1V corresponds to the zero code of the ADC, and a differential input of +1V corresponds to the full-scale code (4095 LSB). VCM (common-mode voltage of REFP and REFN) is also made available externally through a pin, and is nominally 1.5V. The ADC employs a pipelined converter architecture consisting of a combination of multi-bit and single-bit 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 pipeline architecture results in a data latency of 6.5 clock cycles. The output of the ADC goes to a serializer that operates from a 12X clock generated by the PLL. The 12 data bits from each channel are serialized and sent LSB first. In addition to serializing the data, the serializer also generates a 1X clock and a 6X clock. These clocks are generated in the same way the serialized data is generated, so these clocks maintain perfect synchronization with the data. The data and clock outputs of the serializer are buffered externally using LVDS buffers. Using LVDS buffers to transmit data externally has multiple advantages, such as a reduced number of output pins (saving routing space on the board), reduced power consumption, and reduced effects of digital noise coupling to the analog circuit inside the ADS5273. The ADS5273 operates from two sets of supplies and grounds. The analog supply/ground set is denoted as AVDD/AVSS, while the digital set is denoted by LVDD/LVSS.
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS
The analog input biasing is shown in Figure 1. The recommended method to drive the inputs is through AC coupling. AC coupling removes the worry of setting the common-mode of the driving circuit, since the inputs are biased internally using two 600Ω resistors. The sampling capacitor used to sample the inputs is 4pF. The choice of the external AC coupling capacitor is dictated by the attenuation at the lowest desired input frequency of operation factor. The attenuation resulting from using a 10nF AC coupling capacitor is 0.04%.

Figure 1. Analog Input Bias Circuitry
If the input is DC coupled, then the output common-mode voltage of the circuit driving the ADS5273 should match the VCM (which is provided as an output pin) to within ±50mV. It is recommended that the output common-mode of the driving circuit be derived from VCM provided by the device.
INPUT OVER-VOLTAGE RECOVERY
The differential full-scale input peak-to-peak supported by the ADS5273 is 2V. For a nominal value of VCM (1.5V), INP and INN can swing from 1V to 2V. The ADS5273 is specially designed to handle an over-voltage differential peak-to-peak voltage of 4V (2.5V and 0.5V swings on INP and INN). If the input common-mode is not considerably off from VCM during overload (less than 300mV), recovery from an over-voltage input condition is expected to be within 4 clock cycles. All of the amplifiers in the SHA and ADC are especially designed for excellent recovery from an overload signal.

REFERENCE CIRCUIT DESIGN
The digital beam-forming algorithm relies heavily on gain matching across all receiver channels. A typical system would have about 12 octal ADCs on the board. In such a case, it is critical to ensure that the gain is matched, essentially requiring the reference voltages seen by all the ADCs to be the same. Matching references within the eight channels of a chip is done by using a single internal reference voltage buffer. Trimming the reference voltages on each chip during production ensures the reference voltages are well matched across different chips. All bias currents required for the internal operation of the device are set using an external resistor to ground at pin ISET. Using a 56kΩ resistor on ISET generates an internal reference current of 20µA. This current is mirrored internally to generate the bias current for the internal blocks. Using a larger external resistor at ISET reduces the reference bias current and thereby scales down the device operating power. However, it is recommended that the external resistor be within 10% of the specified value of 56k so that the internal bias margins for the various blocks are proper. Buffering the internal bandgap voltage also generates a voltage called VCM, which is set to the midlevel of REFT and REFB, and is accessible on a pin. The internal buffer driving VCM has a drive of ±4mA. It is meant as a reference voltage to derive the input common-mode in case the input is directly coupled. The device also supports the use of external reference voltages. This involves forcing REFT and REFB externally. In this mode, the internal reference buffer is tri-stated. Since the switching current for the eight ADCs come from the externally forced references, it is possible for the performance to be slightly less than when the internal references are used. It should be noted that in this mode, VCM and ISET continue to be generated from the internal bandgap voltage, as in the internal reference mode. It is therefore important to ensure that the common-mode voltage of the externally forced reference voltages matches to within 50mV of VCM.
Another critical specification is the aperture jitter that is defined as the uncertainty of the sampling instant. The gates in the clock path are designed so as to give an rms jitter of about 1ps. The input ADCLK should ideally have a 50% duty cycle. However, while routing ADCLK to different components on board, the duty cycle of the ADCLK reaching the ADS5273 could deviate from 50%. A smaller (or larger) duty cycle eats into the time available for sample or hold phases of each circuit, and is therefore not optimal. For this reason, the internal PLL is used to generate an internal clock that has 50% duty cycle. The use of the PLL automatically dictates the lower frequency of operation to be about 20MHz.
LVDS BUFFERS
The LVDS buffer has two current sources, as shown in Figure 2. OUTP and OUTN are loaded externally by a resistive load that is ideally about 100Ω. Depending on the data being 0 or 1, the currents are directed in one or the other direction through the resistor. The LVDS buffer has four current settings. The default current setting is 3.5mA, and gives a differential drop of about ±350mV across the 100Ω resistor.

CLOCKING
The eight channels on the chip run off a single ADCLK input. To ensure that the aperture delay and jitter are same for all the channels, a clock tree network is used to generate individual sampling clocks to each channel. The clock paths for all the channels are matched from the source point all the way to the sample-and-hold. This ensures that the performance and timing for all the channels are identical. The use of the clock tree for matching introduces an aperture delay, which is defined as the delay between the rising edge of ADCLK and the actual instant of sampling. The aperture delays for all the channels are matched, and vary between 2.5ns to 4.5ns.

Figure 2. LVDS Buffer
The LVDS buffer gets data from a serializer that takes the output data from each channel and serializes it into a single data stream. For a clock frequency of 40MHz, the data rate output by the serializer is 480 MBPS. The data comes out LSB first, with a register programmability to revert to MSB first. The serializer also gives out a 1X clock and a 6X clock. The 6X clock (denoted as LCLKP/ LCLKN) is meant to synchronize the capture of the LVDS data. The deskew mode can be enabled as well, using a register setting. This mode gives out a data stream of alternate 0s and 1s and can be used determine the relative delay

between the 6X clock and the output data for optimum capture. A 1X clock is also generated by the serializer and transmitted by the LVDS buffer. The 1X clock (referred to as ADCLKP/ADCLK N) is used to determine the start of the 12-bit data frame. The sync mode (enabled through a register setting) gives out a data of six 0s followed by six 1s. Using this mode, the 1X clock can be used to determine the start of the data frame. In addition to the deskew mode pattern and the sync pattern, a custom pattern can be defined by the user and output from the LVDS buffer.
It is recommended that the isolation be maintained on board by using separate supplies to drive AVDD and LVDD, as well as separate ground planes for AVSS and LVSS. The use of LVDS buffers reduces the injected noise considerably, compared to CMOS buffers. The current in the LVDS buffer is independent of the direction of switching. Also, the low output swing as well as the differential nature of the LVDS buffer results in low-noise coupling.
NOISE COUPLING ISSUES
High-speed mixed signals are sensitive to various types of noise coupling. One of the main sources of noise is the switching noise from the serializer and the output buffers. Maximum care is taken to isolate these noise sources from the sensitive analog blocks. As a starting point, the analog and digital domains of the chip are clearly demarcated. AVDD and AVSS are used to denote the supplies for the analog sections, while LVDD and LVSS are used to denote the digital supplies. Care is taken to ensure that there is minimal interaction between the supply sets within the device. The extent of noise coupled and transmitted from the digital to the analog sections depends on the following: 1. 2. The effective inductances supply/ground sets. of each of the
POWER-DOWN MODE
The ADS52763 has a power-down pin, PD. Pulling PD high causes the devices to enter the power-down mode. In this mode, the reference and clock circuitry as well as all the channels are powered down. Device power consumption drops to less than 100mW in this mode. Individual channels can also be selectively powered down by programming registers. The ADS5273 also has an internal circuit that monitors the state of stopped clocks. If ADCLK is stopped (or if it runs at a speed < 3MHz), this monitoring circuit generates a logic signal that puts the device in a power-down state. As a result, the power consumption of the device goes to less than 100mW when ADCLK is stopped. This circuit can also be disabled using register options.
The isolation between the digital and analog supply/ground sets.
SUPPLY SEQUENCE
The following supply sequence is recommended for powering up the device: 1. 2. AVDD is powered up. LVDD is powered up.
Smaller effective inductance of the supply/ground pins leads to better suppression of the noise. For this reason, multiple pins are used to drive each supply/ground. It is also critical to ensure that the impedances of the supply and ground lines on board are kept to the minimum possible values. Use of ground planes in the board as well as large decoupling capacitors between the supply and ground lines are necessary to get the best possible SNR from the device.
After the supplies have stabilized, the device must receive an active RESET pulse. This results in all internal registers getting reset to their default value of 0 (inactive). Without RESET, it is possible that some registers might be in their non-default state on power-up. This could cause the device to malfunction.
