This converter includes a high-bandwidth track/hold that gives excellent spurious performance up to and beyond the Nyquist rate. This high-bandwidth, linear track/hold minimizes harmonics and has low jitter, leading to excellent SNR performance. The ADS804 is also pin-compatible with the 5MHz ADS803 and the 20MHz ADS805. The ADS804 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 0.09 LSBs rms giving superior +VS 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 external reference. The ADS804 also provides an overrange 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 front end gain-ranging circuitry. The ADS804 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 ADS804 is available in 28-Lead SSOP and SOIC packages. CLK VDRV ADS804 Timing Circuitry VIN IN T/H IN (Opt.)

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 ADS804 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 ADS804. With the VREF pin connected to the SEL pin, the full-scale input range is defined to be 2Vp-p. This signal is ac-coupled in singleended form to the ADS804 using the low distortion voltagefeedback amplifier OPA642. As is generally necessary for single supply components, operating the ADS804 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 converters 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, REFB) provide an output voltage of +3V and +2V, respectively. Here, two resistor pairs (2 x 2kΩ) are used to create a common-mode voltage of approximately +2.5V to bias the inputs of the ADS804 (IN, IN) to the required DC voltage. 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 ADS804 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 100Ω. 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 ADS804. 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 include 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 shown in Figure 2 employs an op amp, A1, to sum the ground centered input signal with a required DC offset. The ADS804 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. Because of the op amp’s noise gain of +2V/V, assuming RF = RIN, the DC offset voltage applied to its non-inverting input has to be divided down to +1.25V, resulting in a DC output voltage of +2.5V. +5V –5V RS 24.9Ω 2kΩ 2kΩ IN 100pF RF 402Ω 2kΩ REFT (+3V) +VIN –VIN VIN OPA642 0V 2Vp-p 0.1µF ADS804 +2.5VDC 0.1µF 2kΩ (+2V) REFB (+1V) VREF SEL RG 402Ω IN FIGURE 1.

DC-Coupled, Single-Ended Input Configuration with DC-level Shift. DC voltage differences between the IN and IN inputs of the ADS804 effectively will 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 ADS804, 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 ADS804 differentially, the even-order harmonics will be reduced. Figure 3 shows the schematic for 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 ADS804 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 RG 0.1µF VIN 100pF RT ADS804 22Ω IN 100pF + CM 1:n 22Ω IN 4.7µF 0.1µF FIGURE 3.

Equivalent Reference Circuit. 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 which supply the necessary current to the internal nodes. As shown, the output of the buffer appears at the VREF pin.

The programmable reference circuit is controlled by the voltage applied to the select pin (SEL). Refer to Table I for an overview.

Alternative Circuit to Generate Common-Mode Voltage. 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 commonmode 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 commonmode level will appear at the midpoint. The output buffers of the top and bottom reference are designed to supply approximately 2mA of output current. 10µF FIGURE 5. Recommended Reference Bypassing Scheme. ® ADS804 10 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 ADS804. All examples are for single-ended input and operate with a nominal common-mode voltage of +2.5V. 5V VIN 0V ADS804 IN EXTERNAL REFERENCE OPERATION Depending on the application requirements, it might be advantageous to operate the ADS804 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 ADS804 with an external reference, the user must disable the internal reference (see 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 now must be driven with the external reference. Note that a similar bypassing scheme should be maintained as described for the internal reference operation. IN VREF SEL 4.5V VIN 0.5V ADS804 IN +2.5V FIGURE 7.

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 overrange and underrange conditions, (see Figure 11). It should be noted that OVR is a digital output which 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. FIGURE 9. Internal Reference with 1V to 4V Input Range. ® 11 ADS804 MSB Over = H OVR Under = H necessary, external buffers or latches may be used which provide the added benefit of isolating the ADS804 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 ADS804. 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 L to H or H to L. GROUNDING AND DECOUPLING Proper grounding and bypassing, short lead length, and the use of ground planes are particularly important for high frequency 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 ADS804 be joined together at the IC and be connected only to the analog ground of the system. The ADS804 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. Because of 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 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. FIGURE 11. External Logic for Decoding Under- and Overrange Condition. CLOCK INPUT REQUIREMENTS Clock jitter is critical to the SNR performance of high speed, high resolution analog-to-digital converters. It leads to aperture jitter (tA) which adds noise to the signal being converted. The ADS804 samples the input signal on the rising edge of the CLK input. Therefore, this edge should have the lowest possible jitter. The jitter noise contribution to total SNR is given by the following equation. If this value is near your system requirements, input clock jitter must be reduced. JitterSNR = 20 log 1 rms signal to rms noise 2 π ƒ IN t A Where: ƒIN is Input Signal Frequency tA is rms Clock Jitter 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 ADS804 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 ADS804 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 ADS804 and influence the performance.
