DESCRIPTION
The ADS803 is a high-speed, high dynamic range, 12-bit
pipelined Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter. This converter
includes a high-bandwidth track-and-hold that gives excellent spurious performance up to and beyond the Nyquist rate.
This high-bandwidth, linear track-and-hold minimizes harmonics and has low jitter, leading to excellent SNR performance. The ADS803 is also pin-compatible with the 10MHz
ADS804 and the 20MHz ADS805.
The ADS803 provides an internal reference and can be
programmed for a 2Vp-p input range for the best spurious
performance and ease of driving. Alternatively, the 5Vp-p input
range can be used for the lowest input referred noise of
0.09LSBs rms giving superior imaging performance. There is
also a capability to set the input range in between the 2Vp-p
and 5Vp-p input ranges or to use an external reference. The
ADS803 also provides an over-range indicator flag to indicate
an input range that exceeds the full-scale input range of the
converter. This flag can be used to reduce the gain of the frontend gain-ranging circuitry.
The ADS803 employs digital error-correction techniques to
provide excellent differential linearity for demanding imaging
applications. Its low distortion and high SNR give the extra
margin needed for communications, medical imaging, video,
and test instrumentation applications. The ADS803 is available in an SSOP-28 package.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
to be 2Vp-p. This signal is ac-coupled in single-ended form
to the ADS803 using the low-distortion voltage-feedback
amplifier OPA642. As is generally necessary for singlesupply components, operating the ADS803 with a full-scale
input signal swing requires a level-shift of the amplifier’s
zero-centered analog signal to comply with the A/D converter’s
input range requirements. Using a DC blocking capacitor
between the output of the driving amplifier and the converter’s
input, a simple level-shifting scheme can be implemented. In
this configuration, the top and bottom references (REFT and
REFB) provide an output voltage of +3V and +2V, respectively. Here, two resistor pairs (2 • 2kΩ) are used to create a
common-mode voltage of approximately +2.5V to bias the
inputs of the ADS803 (IN, IN) to the required DC voltage.
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUT
The ADS803 allows its analog inputs to be driven either
single-ended or differentially. The focus of the following
discussion is on the single-ended configuration. Typically, its
implementation is easier to achieve and the rated specifications for the ADS803 are characterized using the singleended mode of operation.
AC-COUPLED INPUT CONFIGURATION
Given in Figure 1 is the circuit example of the most common
interface configuration for the ADS803. With the VREF pin

An advantage of ac-coupling is that the driving amplifier still
operates with a ground-based signal swing. This will keep the
distortion performance at its optimum since the signal swing
stays within the linear region of the op amp and sufficient
headroom to the supply rails can be maintained. Consider
using the inverting gain configuration to eliminate CMR induced errors of the amplifier. The addition of a small series
resistor (RS) between the output of the op amp and the input
of the ADS803 will be beneficial in almost all interface configurations. This will decouple the op amp’s output from the
capacitive load and avoid gain peaking, which can result in
increased noise. For best spurious and distortion performance,
the resistor value should be kept below 50Ω. Furthermore, the
series resistor together with the 100pF capacitor, establish a
passive low-pass filter, limiting the bandwidth for the wideband
noise thus help improving the SNR performance.
DC-COUPLED WITHOUT LEVEL SHIFT
In some applications the analog input signal may already be
biased at a level which complies with the selected input
range and reference level of the ADS803. In this case, it is
only necessary to provide an adequately low source impedance to the selected input, IN or IN. Always consider wideband
op amps, since their output impedance will stay low over a
wide range of frequencies. For those applications requiring
the driving amplifier to provide a signal amplification (with a
gain ≥ 3), consider using the decompensated voltage-feedback op amp OPA643.
DC-COUPLED WITH LEVEL SHIFT
Several applications may require that the bandwidth of the
signal path includes DC, in which case the signal has to be
DC-coupled to the A/D converter. In order to accomplish
this, the interface circuit has to provide a DC-level shift. The
circuit presented in Figure 2 employs an op amp, A1, to sum
the ground centered input signal with a required DC offset.
The ADS803 typically operates with a +2.5V common-mode
voltage, which is established at the center tap of the ladder
and connected to the IN input of the converter. Amplifier A1
operates in inverting configuration. Here, resistors R1 and
R2 set the DC bias level for A1. Due to the op amp’s noise
gain of +2V/V (assuming RF = RIN), the DC offset voltage
applied to its noninverting input has to be divided down to
+1.25V, resulting in a DC output voltage of +2.5V.
DC voltage differences between the IN and IN inputs of the
ADS803 will effectively produce an offset, which can be
corrected for by adjusting the values of resistors R1 and R2.
The bias current of the op amp may also result in an
undesired offset. The selection criteria of the appropriate op
amp should include the input bias current, output voltage
swing, distortion, and noise specification. Note that in this
example the overall signal phase is inverted. To re-establish the original signal polarity it is always possible to
interchange the IN and IN connections.
SINGLE-ENDED-TO-DIFFERENTIAL
CONFIGURATION (TRANSFORMER COUPLED)
In order to select the best suited interface circuit for the
ADS803, the performance requirements must be known. If
an ac-coupled input is needed for a particular application, the
next step is to determine the method of applying the signal;
either single-ended or differentially. The differential input
configuration may provide a noticeable advantage of achieving good SFDR performance based on the fact that in the
differential mode, the signal swing can be reduced to half of
the swing required for single-ended drive. Secondly, by
driving the ADS803 differentially, the even-order harmonics
will be reduced. See Figure 3 for the schematic of the
suggested transformer coupled interface circuit. The resistor
across the secondary side (RT) should be set to get an input
impedance match (e.g., RT = n2 • RG).

REFERENCE OPERATION
Integrated into the ADS803 is a bandgap reference circuit
including logic that provides either a +1V or +2.5V reference
output by simply selecting the corresponding pin-strap configuration. Different reference voltages can be generated by
the use of two external resistors, which will set a different
gain for the internal reference buffer. For more design flexibility, the internal reference can be shut off and an external
reference voltage used. Table I provides an overview of the
possible reference options and pin configurations.
A simple model of the internal reference circuit is shown in
Figure 4. The internal blocks are a 1V-bandgap voltage
reference, buffer, the resistive reference ladder, and the
drivers for the top and bottom reference that supply the
necessary current to the internal nodes. As shown, the
output of the buffer appears at the VREF pin. The full-scale
input span of the ADS803 is determined by the voltage at
VREF, according to Equation 1:
Full-Scale Input Span = 2 • VREF
(1)
Note that the current drive capability of this amplifier is limited to
approximately 1mA and should not be used to drive low loads.
The programmable reference circuit is controlled by the voltage
applied to the select pin (SEL). Refer to Table I for an overview.

The top reference (REFT) and the bottom reference (REFB)
are brought out mainly for external bypassing. For proper
operation with all reference configurations, it is necessary to
provide solid bypassing to the reference pins in order to keep
the clock feedthrough to a minimum. Figure 5 shows the
recommended decoupling network.

In addition, the common-mode voltage (CMV) may be used as
a reference level to provide the appropriate offset for the driving
circuitry. However, care must be taken not to appreciably load
this node, which is not buffered and has a high impedance. An
alternate method of generating a common-mode voltage is
given in Figure 6. Here, two external precision resistors (tolerance 1% or better) are located between the top and bottom
reference pins. The common-mode level will appear at the
midpoint. The output buffers of the top and bottom reference
are designed to supply approximately 2mA of output current.

SELECTING THE INPUT RANGE AND REFERENCE
Figures 7 through 9 show a selection of circuits for the most
common input ranges when using the internal reference of
the ADS803. All examples are for single-ended inputs and
operate with a nominal common-mode voltage of +2.5V.

EXTERNAL REFERENCE OPERATION
Depending on the application requirements, it might be
advantageous to operate the ADS803 with an external reference. This may improve the DC accuracy if the external

reference circuitry is superior in its drift and accuracy. To use
the ADS803 with an external reference, the user must
disable the internal reference, as shown in Figure 10. By
connecting the SEL pin to +VS, the internal logic will shut
down the internal reference. At the same time, the output of
the internal reference buffer is disconnected from the VREF
pin, which must now be driven with the external reference.
Note that a similar bypassing scheme should be maintained
as described for the internal reference operation.

DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Over-Range (OVR)
One feature of the ADS803 is its ‘Over-Range’ (OVR) digital
output. This pin can be used to monitor any out-of-range
condition, which occurs every time the applied analog input
voltage exceeds the input range (set by VREF). The OVR
output is LOW when the input voltage is within the defined
input range. It becomes HIGH when the input voltage is
beyond the input range. This is the case when the input
voltage is either below the bottom reference voltage or above
the top reference voltage. OVR will remain active until the
analog input returns to its normal signal range and another
conversion is completed. Using the MSB and its complement
in conjunction with OVR, a simple clue logic can be built that
detects the over-range and under-range conditions, as shown
in Figure 11. It should be noted that OVR is a digital output
that is updated along with the bit information corresponding
to the particular sampling incidence of the analog signal.
Therefore, the OVR data is subject to the same pipeline
delay (latency) as the digital data.
CLOCK INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Clock jitter is critical to the SNR performance of high-speed,
high-resolution A/D converters. It leads to aperture jitter (tA)
which adds noise to the signal being converted. The ADS803
samples the input signal on the rising edge of the CLK input.
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
a 50% duty cycle (tH = tL), along with fast rise and fall times
of 2ns or less.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The digital outputs of the ADS803 are designed to be
compatible with both high speed TTL and CMOS logic
families. The driver stage for the digital outputs is supplied
through a separate supply pin, VDRV, which is not connected to the analog supply pins. By adjusting the voltage on
VDRV, the digital output levels will vary respectively. Therefore, it is possible to operate the ADS803 on a +5V analog
supply while interfacing the digital outputs to 3V logic.
It is recommended to keep the capacitive loading on the data
lines as low as possible (≤ 15pF). Larger capacitive loads
demand higher charging currents as the outputs are changing. Those high current surges can feed back to the analog
portion of the ADS803 and influence the performance. If
necessary, external buffers or latches may be used, which
provide the added benefit of isolating the ADS803 from any
digital noise activities on the bus coupling back high-frequency noise. In addition, resistors in series with each data
line may help maintain the ac performance of the ADS803.
Their use depends on the capacitive loading seen by the
converter. Values in the range of 100Ω to 200Ω will limit the
instantaneous current the output stage has to provide for
recharging the parasitic capacitances as the output levels
change from LOW to HIGH or HIGH to LOW.

GROUNDING AND DECOUPLING
Proper grounding and bypassing, short lead length, and the
use of ground planes are particularly important for highfrequency designs. Multi-layer PC boards are recommended
for best performance, since they offer distinct advantages
like minimizing ground impedance, separation of signal layers by ground layers, etc. It is recommended that the analog
and digital ground pins of the ADS803 be joined together at
the IC and be connected only to the analog ground of the
system.
analog supplies. In most cases, 0.1µF ceramic chip capacitors 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. In
addition, a larger size bipolar capacitor (1µF to 22µF) should
be placed on the PC board in close proximity to the converter
circuit.
The ADS803 has analog and digital supply pins, however,
the converter should be treated as an analog component and
all 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 would otherwise be
coupled into the converter and degrade the achievable performance.
Due to the pipeline architecture, the converter also generates
high-frequency current transients and noise that are fed back
into the supply and reference lines. This requires that the
supply and reference pins be sufficiently bypassed. Figure
12 shows the recommended decoupling scheme for the
