The ADS5541 is a high-performance, 14-bit,
105MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC). To
provide a complete converter solution, it includes a
high-bandwidth linear sample-and-hold stage (S&H)
and internal reference. Designed for applications
demanding the highest speed and highest dynamic
performance in a small space, the ADS5541 has
excellent analog power dissipation of 571mW at 3.3V
single-supply voltage. This allows an even higher
system integration density. The provided internal
reference simplifies system design requirements.
The parallel CMOS compatible outputs ensure
seamless interfacing with common logic.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
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.

Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage. Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may
degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond
those specified is not implied.
If the input signal can exceed 3.6V, then a resistor greater than or equal to 25Ω should be added in series with each of the analog input
pins to support input voltages up to 3.8V. For input voltages above 3.8V, the device can only handle transients and the duty cycle of the
overshoot should be limited to less than 5% for inputs up to 3.9V.
The overshoot duty cycle can be defined as the ratio of the total time of overshoot to the total intended device lifetime, expressed as a
percentage. The total time of overshoot is the integrated time of all overshoot occurences over the lifetime of the device.

Timing parameters are ensured by design and characterization and not tested in production.
See Table 5 through Table 8 in the Application Information section for timing information at additional sampling frequencies.
Data valid refers to 2V for LOGIC high and 0.8V for LOGIC low.
See the Output Information section for details on using the input clock for data capture.
These specifications apply when the CLKOUT polarity is set to rising edge (according to Table 3). Add 1/2 clock period for the valid
number for a falling edge CLKOUT polarity.
Data outputs are available within a clock from assertion of OE; however, it takes 1000 clock cycles to ensure stable timing with respect
to input clock.

SERIAL PROGRAMMING INTERFACE CHARACTERISTICS
The ADS5541 has a three-wire serial interface. The device latches the serial data SDATA on the falling edge of
serial clock SCLK when SEN is active.
• Serial shift of bits is enabled when SEN is low. SCLK shifts serial data at the falling edge.
• Minimum width of data stream for a valid loading is 16 clocks.
• Data is loaded at every 16th SCLK falling edge while SEN is low.
• In case 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 4-bit nibble is the address of the register while the last 12 bits are the register contents.

The register contents default to the appropriate setting for normal operation up on RESET.
The patterns given are applicable to the straight offset binary output format. If two's complement output format is selected, the test mode
outputs will be the binary two's complement equivalent of these patterns as described in the Output Information section.
While each bit toggles between 1 and 0 in this mode, there is no assured phase relationship between the data bits D0–D13. For
example, when D0 is a 1, D1 is not assured to be a 0, and vice-versa.

PowerPAD is connected to analog ground.
If RESET pin is unused, it must be tied to AGND and serial interface should be used to reset the device. See the serial programming
interface section for details.
Pins OE, DFS, SEN, SDATA, and SCLK have internal clamping diodes to the DRVDD supply. Any external circuit driving these pins must
also run off the same supply voltage as DRVDD.
Table 3 defines the voltage levels for each mode selectable via the DFS pin.

DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
Offset Error
Analog Bandwidth
The analog input frequency at which the power of the
fundamental is reduced by 3dB with respect to the
low frequency value.
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 mV.
Aperture Delay
Temperature Drift
The delay in time between the falling edge of the
input sampling clock and the actual time at which the
sampling occurs.
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).
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter)
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Clock Pulse Width/Duty Cycle
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
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.
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 eight harmonics.
P
SNR + 10Log 10 S
PN
(1)
Maximum Conversion Rate
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 full-scale range.
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
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD)
The minimum sampling rate at which the ADC
functions.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions at analog
input values spaced exactly 1LSB 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
The 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 does not account for
variations in the internal reference voltages (see the
Electrical Characteristics section for limits on the
variation of VREFP and VREFM).
12
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.
PS
SINAD + 10Log 10
PN ) PD
(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 full-scale range.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
The ENOB is a measure of a converter's
performance as compared to the theoretical limit
based on quantization noise.
ENOB + SINAD * 1.76
6.02

SBAS307C – MAY 2004 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2007
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Reference Error
THD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS)
to the power of the first eight harmonics (PD).
P
THD + 10Log 10 S
PD
(4)
The reference error is the variation of the actual
reference voltage (VREFP – VREFM) from its ideal
value. The reference error is typically given as a
percentage.
THD is typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier).
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The ratio of the power of the fundamental to the
highest other spectral component (either spur or
harmonic). SFDR is typically given in units of dBc
(dB to carrier).
Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion (IMD3)
IMD3 is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (at
frequencies f1 and 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 full-scale range.
Voltage Overload Recovery Time
The voltage overload recovery time is defined as the
time required for the ADC to recover to within 1% of
the full-scale range in response to an input voltage
overload of 10% beyond the full-scale range.
AC Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (AC PSRR)
The ratio of output spectral power at a given
frequency with respect to the injected ac-power on
AVDD at that frequency. The rejected ac-input
amplitude should be limited to less than 100mVPP.
The PSRR is typically given in units of dB.
DC Power-Supply Rejection Ration (DC PSRR)
The DC PSSR is the ratio of the change in offset
error to a change in analog supply voltage. The DC
PSRR is typically given in units of mV/V.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS5541 is a low-power, 14-bit, 105MSPS,
CMOS, switched capacitor, pipeline ADC that
operates from a single 3.3V supply. The conversion
process is initiated by a falling edge of the external
input clock. Once the signal is captured by the input
S&H, 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
17.5 clock cycles, after which the output data is
available as a 14-bit parallel word, coded in either
straight offset binary or binary two’s complement
format.
INPUT CONFIGURATION
The analog input for the ADS5541 consists of a
differential
sample-and-hold
architecture
implemented using the switched capacitor technique
shown in Figure 39.

ADS5541
www.ti.com
SBAS307C – MAY 2004 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2007
This differential input topology produces a high level
of ac performance for high sampling rates. It also
results in a very high usable input bandwidth,
especially important for high intermediate-frequency
(IF) or undersampling applications. The ADS5541
requires each of the analog inputs (INP, INM) to be
externally biased around the common-mode level of
the internal circuitry (CM, pin 17). For a full-scale
differential input, each of the differential lines of the
input signal (pins 19 and 20) swing symmetrically
between CM + 0.575V and CM – 0.575V. This
means that each input is driven with a signal of up to
CM ± 0.575V, so that each input has a maximum
differential signal of 1.15VPP for a total differential
input signal swing of 2.3VPP. The maximum swing is
determined by the two reference voltages, the top
reference (REFP, pin 29) and the bottom reference
(REFM, pin 30).
The ADS5541 gives optimum performance when the
analog inputs are driven differentially. The circuit
shown in Figure 40 illustrates one possible
configuration using an RF transformer.
The single-ended signal is fed to the primary winding
of an RF transformer. Placing a 25Ω resistor in
series with INP and INM is recommended to dampen
ringing because of ADC kickback. Since the input
signal must be biased around the common-mode
voltage of the internal circuitry, the common-mode
voltage (VCM) from the ADS5541 is connected to the
center-tap of the secondary winding. To ensure a
steady low-noise VCM reference, best performance is
attained when the CM output (pin 17) is filtered to
ground with a 10Ω series resistor and parallel 0.1µF
and 0.001µF low-inductance capacitors as illustrated
in Figure 39.
Output VCM (pin 17) is designed to directly drive the
ADC input. When providing a custom CM level, be
aware that the input structure of the ADC sinks a
common-mode current in the order of 500µA (250µA
per input) at 105MSPS. Equation 5 describes the
dependency of the common-mode current and the
sampling frequency:
500mA f S (in MSPS)
105 MSPS
(5)
Where:
fS > 2MSPS.
This equation helps to design the output capability
and impedance of the driving circuit accordingly.

SBAS307C – MAY 2004 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2007
When it is necessary to buffer or apply a gain to the
incoming analog signal, it is possible to combine
single-ended operational amplifiers with an RF
transformer, or to use a differential input/output
amplifier without a transformer, to drive the input of
the ADS5541. Texas Instruments offers a wide
selection of single-ended operational amplifiers
(including the THS3201, THS3202, OPA847, and
OPA695) that can be selected depending on the
application. An RF gain block amplifier, such as
Texas Instruments THS9001, can also be used with
an RF transformer for high input frequency
applications. The THS4503 is a recommended
differential input/output amplifier. Table 4 lists the
recommended amplifiers.
Figure 41 illustrates how RIN and CIN can be placed
to isolate the signal source from the switching inputs
of the ADC and to implement a low-pass RC filter to
limit the input noise in the ADC. It is recommended
that these components be included in the ADS5541
circuit layout when any of the amplifier circuits
discussed previously are used. The components
allow fine-tuning of the circuit performance. Any
mismatch between the differential lines of the
ADS5541 input produces a degradation in
performance at high input frequencies, mainly
characterized by an increase in the even-order
harmonics. In this case, special care should be taken
to keep as much electrical symmetry as possible
between both inputs.
When using single-ended operational amplifiers
(such as the THS3201, THS3202, OPA847, or
OPA695) to provide gain, a three-amplifier circuit is
recommended with one amplifier driving the primary
of an RF transformer and one amplifier in each of the
legs of the secondary driving the two differential
inputs of the ADS5520. These three amplifier circuits
minimize even-order harmonics. For high frequency
inputs, an RF gain block amplifier can be used to
drive a transformer primary; in this case, the
transformer secondary connections can drive the
input of the ADS5541 directly, as shown in
Figure 40, or with the addition of the filter circuit
shown in Figure 41.
Another possible configuration for lower-frequency
signals is the use of differential input/output
amplifiers that can simplify the driver circuit for
applications requiring dc-coupling of the input.
Flexible in their configurations (see Figure 42), such
amplifiers can be used for single-ended-to-differential
conversion signal amplification.

POWER-SUPPLY SEQUENCE
The preferred mode of power-supply sequencing is
to power up AVDD first, followed by DRVDD. Raising
both supplies simultaneously is also a valid
power-supply sequence. In the event that DRVDD
powers up before AVDD in the system, AVDD must
power up within 10ms of DRVDD. Optionally, it is
recommended to put a 2kΩ resistor from REFP (pin
29) to AVDD as shown in Figure 43. This
configuration helps to make the device more robust
to power supply ramp-up timings.
28
AVDD
29
REFP
2kΩ
Using the serial interface PDN bit to power down the
device places the outputs in a high-impedance state
and only the internal reference remains on to reduce
the power-up time. The power-down mode reduces
power dissipation to approximately 180mW.
REFERENCE CIRCUIT
The ADS5541 has built-in internal reference
generation, requiring no external circuitry on the
printed circuit board (PCB). For optimum
performance, it is best to connect both REFP and
REFM to ground with a 1µF decoupling capacitor
(the 1Ω resistor shown in Figure 44 is optional). In
addition, an external 56kΩ resistor should be
connected from IREF (pin 31) to AGND to set the
proper current for the operation of the ADC, as
shown in Figure 44. No capacitor should be
connected between pin 31 and ground; only the
56kΩ resistor should be used.

POWER-DOWN
The device enters power-down in one of two ways:
either by reducing the clock speed or by setting the
PDN bit via the serial programming interface. Using
the reduced clock speed, power-down may be
initiated for clock frequency below 2MSPS. The
exact frequency at which the power-down occurs
varies from device to device.

CLOCK INPUT
The ADS5541 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. The common-mode voltage of
the clock inputs is set internally to CM (pin 17) using
internal 5kΩ resistors that connect CLKP (pin 10)
and CLKM (pin 11) to CM (pin 17), as shown in
Figure 45.

The ADS5541 clock input can also be driven
differentially,
reducing
susceptibility
to
common-mode noise. In this case, it is best to
connect both clock inputs to the differential input
clock signal with 0.01µF capacitors, as shown in

Bandpass filtering of the source can help produce a
50% duty cycle clock and reduce the effect of jitter.
When using a sinusoidal clock, the clock jitter further
improves as the amplitude is increased. In that
sense, using a differential clock allows for the use of
larger amplitudes without exceeding the supply rails
and absolute maximum ratings of the ADC clock
input. Figure 49 shows the performance variation of
the device versus input clock amplitude. For detailed
clocking schemes based on transformer or
PECL-level clocks, see the ADS5541EVM User's

INTERNAL DLL
In order to achieve the fastest possible sampling
rates with the ADS5541, the device uses an internal
delay locked loop (DLL). The effective delay range of
the DLL limits its use to sampling rates above
60MSPS. In order to operate the device below
60MSPS, the internal DLL must be shut off using the
DLL OFF mode described in the Serial Programming
Interface section. The Typical Characteristics show
the performance obtained in both modes of
operation: DLL ON (default) and DLL OFF. In either

OUTPUT INFORMATION
The ADC provides 14 data outputs (D13 to D0, with
D13 being the MSB and D0 the LSB), a data-ready
signal (CLKOUT, pin 43), and an out-of-range
indicator (OVR, pin 64) that equals '1' when the
output reaches the full-scale limits.
Two different output formats (straight offset binary or
two's complement) and two different output clock
polarities (latching output data on rising or falling
edge of the output clock) can be selected by setting
DFS (pin 40) to one of four different voltages.
Table 3 details the four modes. In addition, output
enable control (OE, pin 41, active high) is provided to
put the outputs into a high-impedance state.

of the two modes, the device enters power-down
mode if no clock or a slow clock is provided. The
limit of the clock frequency where the device
functions properly with default settings is ensured to
be over 2MHz.
In the event of an input voltage overdrive, the digital
outputs go to the appropriate full-scale level. For a
positive overdrive, the output code is 0x3FFF in
straight offset binary output format, and 0x1FFF in
two's complement output format. For a negative input
overdrive, the output code is 0x0000 in straight offset
binary output format, and 0x2000 in two's
complement output format. These outputs to an
overdrive signal are ensured through design and
characterization
The output circuitry of the ADS5541, by design,
minimizes the noise produced by the data switching
transients, and, in particular, its coupling to the ADC
analog circuitry. Output D4 (pin 51) senses the load
capacitance and adjusts the drive capability of all the
output pins of the ADC to maintain the same output
slew rate described in the timing diagram of Figure 1.
Care should be taken to ensure that all output lines
(including CLKOUT) have nearly the same load as
D4 (pin 51). This circuit also reduces the sensitivity
of the output timing versus supply voltage or
temperature. Placing external resistors in series with
the outputs is not recommended.

The timing characteristics of the digital outputs
change for sampling rates below the 105MSPS
maximum sampling frequency. Table 5 and Table 6
show the setup, hold, and input clocks to output data
delays, and rise and fall times for different sampling
frequencies with the DLL on and off, respectively.
To use the input clock as the data capture clock, it is
necessary to delay the input clock by a delay, td, that
results in the desired setup or hold time. Use either
of the following equations to calculate the value of tD.
Desired setup time = tD– tSTART
Desired hold time = tEND – tD

SERIAL PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The ADS5541 has internal registers for the
programming of some of the modes described in the
previous sections. The registers should be reset after
power-up by applying a 2µs (minimum) high pulse on
RESET (pin 35); this pulse also resets the entire
ADC and sets the data outputs to low. This pin has a
200kΩ internal pullup resistor to AVDD. The
programming is done through a three-wire interface.
Table 2 shows the different modes and the bit values
to be written to the register to enable them.
Note that some of these modes may modify the
standard operation of the device and possibly vary
the performance with respect to the typical data
shown in this data sheet.
Applying a RESET signal is absolutely essential to
set the internal registers to the default states for
normal operation. If the hardware RESET function is
not used in the system, the RESET pin must be tied
to ground, and it is necessary to write the default
values to the internal registers through the serial
programming interface. The registers must be written
in the following order.
Write 9000h (Address 9, Data 000)
Write A000h (Address A, Data 000)
Write B000h (Address B, Data 000)
Write C000h (Address C, Data 000)
Write D000h (Address D, Data 000)
Write E000h (Address E, Data 804)
Write 0000h (Address 0, Data 000)
Write 1000h (Address 1, Data 000)
Write F000h (Address F, Data 000)
NOTE: This procedure is only required if a RESET
pulse is not provided to the device.
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.
frame 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. The recommended thermal pad
dimension is 8mm × 8mm.
2. Place a 5-by-5 array of thermal vias in the
thermal pad area. These holes should be
13mils in diameter. The small size prevents
wicking of the solder through the holes.
3. It is recommended to place a small number of
25mil 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 application brief SLMA004B (PowerPAD
Made Easy) or technical brief SLMA002 (PowerPAD
Thermally Enhanced Package).
The PowerPAD package is designed so that the lead
