Aperture Delay The delay in time between the rising edge of the input sampling clock and the actual time at which the sampling occurs. 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 certified 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 LSB. Integral Nonlinearity (INL) The INL is the deviation of the ADCs transfer function from a best fit line determined by a least squares curve fit of that transfer function. The INL at each analog input value is the difference between the actual transfer function and this best fit line, measured in units of LSB. Gain Error The gain error is the deviation of the ADCs actual input full-scale range from its ideal value. The gain error is given as a percentage of the ideal input full-scale range. Offset Error Offset error is the deviation of output code from mid-code when both inputs are tied to common-mode. Temperature Drift Temperature drift (with respect to gain error and offset error) specifies the change from the value at the nominal temperature to the value at TMIN or TMAX. It is computed as the maximum variation the parameters over the whole temperature range divided by TMIN – TMAX. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) 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 five harmonics. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback ADS5444-EP www.ti.com SGLS360 – AUGUST 2006 DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS (continued) SNR + 10log P S 10 P N (1) 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’s full-scale 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. P SINAD + 10log S 10 P ) P N D (2) 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’s full-scale range. Effective Resolution Bandwidth The highest input frequency where the SNR (dB) is dropped by 3 dB for a full-scale input amplitude. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the power of the first five harmonics (PD). P THD + 10log 10 P S D (3) THD is typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier). Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion IMD3 is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (at frequencies f1, f2) to the power of the worst spectral component at either frequency 2f1– f2 or 2f2– f1). IMD3 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’s full-scale range.

Its bipolar analog core operates from a 5 V supply, while the output uses a 3.3-V supply to provide LVDS compatible outputs. The conversion process is initiated by the rising edge of the external input clock. At that instant, the differential input signal is captured by the input track and hold (T&H) and the input sample is sequentially converted by a series of small resolution stages, with the outputs combined in a digital correction logic block. Both the rising and the falling clock edges are used to propagate the sample through the pipeline every half clock cycle. This process results in a data latency of four clock cycles, after which the output data is available as a 13-bit parallel word, coded in offset binary format. Input Configuration The analog input for the ADS5444 consists of an analog differential buffer followed by a bipolar T&H. The analog buffer isolates the source driving the input of the ADC from any internal switching. The input common mode is set internally through a 500-Ω resistor connected from 2.4 V to each of the inputs. This results in a differential input impedance of 1 kΩ. For a full-scale differential input, each of the differential lines of the input signal (pins 16 and 17) swings symmetrically between 2.4 + 0.55 V and 2.4 – 0.55 V. This means that each input has a maximum signal swing of 1.1 VPP for a total differential input signal swing of 2.2 VPP. The maximum swing is determined by the internal reference voltage generator eliminating the need for any external circuitry for this purpose. The ADS5444 obtains optimum performance when the analog inputs are driven differentially. The circuit in Figure 34 shows one possible configuration using an RF transformer with termination either on the primary or on the secondary of the transformer. If voltage gain is required, a step up transformer can be used. For voltage gains that would require an impractical transformer turn ratio, a single-ended amplifier driving the transformer is shown in Figure 35).

Using the THS4509 With the ADS5444 Besides the OPA695, TI offers a wide selection of single-ended operational amplifiers that can be selected depending on the application. An RF gain block amplifier, such as the TI THS9001, can also be used with an RF transformer for high input frequency applications. For applications requiring dc-coupling with the signal source, a differential input/differential output amplifier like the THS4509 (see Figure 36) is a good solution, as it minimizes board space and reduces the number of components. In this configuration, the THS4509 amplifier circuit provides 10 dB of gain, converts the single-ended input to differential, and sets the proper input common-mode voltage to the ADS5444. The 50-Ω resistors and 18-pF capacitor between the THS4509 outputs and ADS5444 inputs (along with the input capacitance of the ADC) limit the bandwidth of the signal to about 70 MHz (–3 dB). Input termination is accomplished via the 78.9-Ω resistor and 0.22-µF capacitor to ground in conjunction with the input impedance of the amplifier circuit. A 0.22-µF capacitor and 49.9-Ω resistor is inserted to ground across the 78.9-Ω resistor and 0.22-µF capacitor on the alternate input to balance the circuit. Gain is a function of the source impedance, termination, and 348-Ω feedback resistor. See the THS4509 data sheet for further component values to set proper 50-Ω termination for other common gains. Since the ADS5444 recommended input common-mode voltage is 2.4 V, the THS4509 is operated from a single power supply input with VS+ = 5 V and VS– = 0 V (ground). This maintains maximum headroom on the internal transistors of the THS4509. Clock Inputs The ADS5444 clock input can be driven with either a differential clock signal or a single-ended clock input, with little or no difference in performance between both configurations. In low input frequency applications, where jitter may not be a big concern, the use of single-ended clock (see Figure 37) could save some cost and board space without any trade-off in performance. When driven on this configuration, it is best to connect CLK to ground with a 0.01 µF capacitor, while CLK is ac-coupled with a 0.01-µF capacitor to the clock source, as shown in Figure 37.

Differential Clock For jitter-sensitive applications, the use of a differential clock has some advantages (as with any other ADC) at the system level. The first advantage is that it allows for common-mode noise rejection at the PCB level. A differential clock also allows for the use of bigger clock amplitudes without exceeding the absolute maximum ratings. In the case of a sinusoidal clock, this results in higher slew rates and reduces the impact of clock noise on jitter. See Clocking High Speed Data Converters (SLYT075) for more details. Figure 38 shows this approach. The back-to-back Schottky diodes can be added to limit the clock amplitude in cases where this would exceed the absolute maximum ratings, even when using a differential clock. 100 nF MC100EP16DT 100 nF D D CLK Q VBB Q 499 W 100 nF 100 nF ADS5444 CLK 499 W 50 Ω 50 Ω 100 nF 113 Ω Figure 39. Differential Clock Using PECL Logic Another possibility is the use of a logic based clock, such as PECL. In this case, the slew rate of the edges will most likely be much higher than the one obtained for the same clock amplitude based on a sinusoidal clock. This solution would minimize the effect of the slope dependent ADC jitter. Using logic gates to square a sinusoidal clock may not produce the best results as logic gates may not have been optimized to act as comparators, adding too much jitter while squaring the inputs. The common-mode voltage of the clock inputs is set internally to 2.4 V using internal 1-kΩ resistors. It is recommended to use ac coupling, but if this scheme is not possible due to, for instance, asynchronous clocking, the ADS5444 features good tolerance to clock common-mode variation. Additionally, the internal ADC core uses both edges of the clock for the conversion process. Ideally, a 50% duty cycle clock signal should be provided. Digital Outputs The ADC provides 13 data outputs (D12 to D0, with D12 being the MSB and D0 the LSB), a data-ready signal (DRY), and an over-range indicator (OVR) that equals a logic high when the output reaches the full-scale limits. The output format is offset binary. It is recommended to use the DRY signal to capture the output data of the ADS5444. The ADS5444 digital outputs are LVDS compatible.

Linear supplies are the preferred choice versus switched ones, which tend to generate more noise components that can be coupled to the ADS5444. The ADS5444 uses two power supplies. For the analog portion of the design, a 5-V AVDD is used, while for the digital outputs supply (DRVDD) we recommend the use of 3.3 V. All the ground pins are marked as GND, although AGND pins and DRGND pins are not tied together inside the package. Layout Information The evaluation board represents a good guideline of how to layout the board to obtain the maximum performance out of the ADS5444. General design rules as the use of multilayer boards, single ground plane for ADC ground connections and local decoupling ceramic chip capacitors should be applied. The input traces should be isolated from any external source of interference or noise including the digital outputs, as well as the clock traces. The clock signal traces should also be isolated from other signals, especially in applications where low jitter is required as high IF sampling. Besides performance oriented rules, care has to be taken when considering the heat dissipation out of the device. The thermal heatsink should be soldered to the board as described in the PowerPad Package section. PowerPAD Package The PowerPAD package is a thermally-enhanced standard size IC package designed to eliminate the use of bulky heatsinks and slugs traditionally used in thermal packages. This package can be easily mounted using standard printed circuit board (PCB) assembly techniques, and can be removed and replaced using standard repair procedures. The PowerPAD package is designed so that the leadframe die pad (or thermal pad) is exposed on the bottom of the IC. This provides an extremely low thermal resistance path between the die and the exterior of the package. The thermal pad on the bottom of the IC can then be soldered directly to the PCB using the PCB as a heatsink. Assembly Process 1. Prepare the PCB top-side etch pattern including etch for the leads, as well as the thermal pad as illustrated in the Mechanical Data section. 2. Place a 6-by-6 array of thermal vias in the thermal pad area. These holes should be 13 mils in diameter. The small size prevents wicking of the solder through the holes. 3. It is recommended to place a small number of 25-mil diameter holes under the package, but outside the thermal pad area to provide an additional heat path. 4. Connect all holes (both those inside and outside the thermal pad area) to an internal copper plane (such as a ground plane). 5. Do not use the typical web or spoke via connection pattern when connecting the thermal vias to the ground plane. The spoke pattern increases the thermal resistance to the ground plane. 6. The top-side solder mask should leave exposed the terminals of the package and the thermal pad area. 7. Cover the entire bottom side of the PowerPAD vias to prevent solder wicking. 8. Apply solder paste to the exposed thermal pad area and all of the package terminals. For more detailed information regarding the PowerPAD package and its thermal properties, see either the SLMA004 application brief, PowerPAD Made Easy, or the technical brief, PowerPAD Thermally Enhanced Package (SLMA002). 24 Submit Documentation Feedback PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 10-Dec-2020 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Pins Package Drawing Qty Eco Plan (2) Lead finish/ Ball material MSL Peak Temp Op Temp (°C) (3) Device Marking (4/5) (6) ADS5444MPFPEP ACTIVE HTQFP PFP 80 96 RoHS & Green NIPDAU Level-3-260C-168 HR -55 to 125 ADS5444M-EP V62/06668-01XE ACTIVE HTQFP PFP 80 96 RoHS & Green NIPDAU Level-3-260C-168 HR -55 to 125 ADS5444M-EP (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
