●
The ADS902 is a high speed pipelined Analog-to-Digital
Converter (ADC) that is specified to operate from a single
+5V supply. This converter includes a wide bandwidth
track/hold and a 10-bit quantizer. The performance is specified with a single-ended input range of 2.25V to 3.25V, or
2V to 4V. The input range is set by the external reference
values.
The ADS902 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 telecommunications, video and test
instrumentation applications. This high performance ADC is
specified to operate at a 30MHz sampling rate. The ADS902
is available in a SSOP-28 package.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS902 is a high speed sampling ADC that utilizes a
pipeline architecture. The fully differential topology and
digital error correction guarantee 10-bit resolution. The
differential track/hold circuit is shown in Figure 1. The
switches are controlled by an internal clock which has a nonoverlapping two phase signal, φ1 and φ2. At the sampling
time the input signal is sampled on the bottom plates of the
input capacitors (C1). In the next clock phase, φ1, the bottom
plates of the input capacitors are connected together and the
feedback capacitors are switched to the op amp output. At
this time the charge redistributes between CI and CH, completing one acquisition cycle. The differential output is a
held DC representation of the analog input at the sample
time. The track/hold circuit also converts the single-ended
input signal into a fully differential signal for the subsequent
quantizer. Consequently, the input signal-to-noise performance. Other parameters such as small-signal and fullpower bandwidth, and wideband noise are also defined in
this stage.
The pipelined quantizer architecture has 9 stages with each
stage containing a two-bit quantizer and a two bit digitalto-analog converter, as shown in Figure 2. Each two-bit

quantizer stage converts on the edge of the sub-clock, which
is the same frequency of the externally applied clock. The
output of each quantizer is fed into its own delay line to
time-align it with the data created from the following quantizer stages. This aligned data is fed into a digital error
correction circuit which can adjust the output data based on
the information found on the redundant bits. This technique
provides the ADS902 with excellent differential linearity
and guarantees no missing codes at the 10-bit level.
As a result of this pipeline architecture, there is a 5.0 clock
cycle data delay (latency) from the start convert signal to the
corresponding valid output data.
To accommodate a bipolar signal swing, the ADS902 operates with a common-mode voltage (VCM) which is derived
from the external references. Due to the symmetric resistor
ladder inside the ADS902, the VCM is situated between the
top and bottom reference voltage. The following equation
can be used for calculating the common-mode voltage level:
VCM = (REFT +REFB)/2
signal swing should remain approximately 0.5V away from
each rail during normal operation.
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS
AC-COUPLED DRIVER
Figure 3 shows an example of an ac-coupled, single-ended
interface circuit using a high-speed op amp that operates on
dual supplies (OPA650, OPA658). The mid-point reference
voltage, VCM, biases the bipolar, ground-referenced input
signal. The capacitor C1 and resistor R1 form a high-pass
filter with the –3dB frequency set at
f–3dB = 1/(2 π R1 C1)
The values for C1 and R1 are not critical in most applications
and can be set freely, e.g. the shown values correspond to a
frequency of 1.6kHz.
+5V
(1)
At the same time, the two external reference voltages define
the full-scale input range for the ADS902. This makes it
possible for the input range to be adapted to the signal swing
of the front end.

SIGNAL SWING AND COMMON-MODE
CONSIDERATIONS
The ADS902 is designed to operate on a +5V single supply
voltage. The nominal input signal swing is 1Vp-p, situated
between +2.25V and +3.25V. This means that the signal
swings ±0.5V around a common-mode voltage of +2.75V.
In some applications it might be advantageous to increase
the input signal swing to 2Vp-p which will improve the
achievable ac-performance. However, consideration should
be given to keeping the signal swing within the linear region
of operation of the driving circuitry to avoid any excessive
distortion. In extreme situations, the performance of the
converter will start to degrade due to variations of the input’s
switch-on resistance over the input voltage. Therefore, the
FIGURE 3. Typical AC-Coupled Interface Circuit. (External references not shown.)
Figure 4 depicts a circuit that can be used in single-supply
applications. The mid-reference voltage biases the op amp
up to the appropriate common-mode voltage, for example
VCM = +2.75V. With the use of capacitor CG the DC gain for
the non-inverting op amp input is set to +1V/V. As a result
the transfer function is modified to

Again, the input coupling capacitor C1 and resistor R1 form
a high-pass filter. At the same time, the input impedance is
defined by R1. Possible op amps for A1 are CLC452, EL2180
or LM6152. Depending on the selected amplifier, the use of
a pull-up/pull-down resistor (RP), located directly at its
output, may considerably improve its distortion performance.
Resistor RS isolates the op amp’s output from the capacitive
load to avoid gain peaking or even oscillation. It can also be
used to establish a defined bandwidth to reduce the wideband
noise. Its value is usually between 10Ω and 100Ω.
connected through a resistor ladder, which has a nominal
resistance of 4kΩ (±15%). In order to establish a correct
voltage drop across the ladder the external reference circuit
must be able to supply typically 250µA of current. With this
current the full-scale input range of the ADS902 is set
between +2.25V and +3.25V. In general, the voltage drop
across REFT and REFB determines the input full-scale
range (FSR) of the ADS902. The following equation can be
used to calculate the span.
FSR = REFT - REFB
(4)
Depending on the application several options exist how to
supply the external reference voltages to the ADS902 without degrading the typical performance.
DC-COUPLED INTERFACE CIRCUIT
Shown in Figure 5 is a single-supply, DC-coupled circuit
which can be set in a gain of –1V/V or higher. Depending on
the gain determined by RF/RIN, the divider ratio set by resistors
R1 and R2 must be adjusted to yield the correct common-mode
voltage for the ADS902. With a +5V supply, the nominal
signal input range of the ADS902 is 1Vp-p, typically centered
around the common-mode voltage of +2.75V.
LOW-COST REFERENCE SOLUTION
The easiest way to achieve the required reference voltages is
to place the reference ladder of the ADS902 between the
supply rails. Two additional resistors (RT, RB) are necessary
to set the correct current through the ladder (see Figure 6).
However, depending on the desired full-scale swing and
supply voltage, different resistor values might be selected.

When selecting this reference circuit, the trade-offs are
variations in the reference voltages due to component tolerances and power supply variations. In either case, it is
recommended to bypass the reference ladder with at least
0.1µF ceramic capacitors as shown in Figure 6. The purpose
of the capacitors is twofold; they will bypass most of the
high frequency transient noise which results from feedthrough
of the clock and switching noise from the S/H stages and
secondly, they serve as a charge reservoir to supply instantaneous current to internal nodes.
PRECISE REFERENCE SOLUTION
For those applications requiring a higher level of dc accuracy and drift, a reference circuit with a precision reference
element might be used (see Figure 7). A stable +2.5V
reference voltage is established by a two terminal bandgap
reference diode, the REF1004-2.5. Using a general-purpose
single-supply dual operational amplifier (A1), like an
OPA2237, OPA2234 or MC34072, the two required reference voltages for the ADS902 can be generated by setting
each op amp to the appropriate gain. For example, set REFT
to +3.25V and REFB to +2.25V.

Nyquist or undersampling applications, special consideration
must be made to provide a clock with very low jitter. Clock
jitter leads to aperture jitter (tA) which can be the ultimate
limitation to achieving good SNR performance. The following
equation shows the relationship between aperture jitter, input
frequency and the signal-to-noise ratio:
SNR = 20log10 [1/(2 π fIN tA)]
(5)
For example, with a 5MHz full-scale input signal and an
aperture jitter of tA = 20ps rms, the SNR is clock jitter
limited to 54dB.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The digital outputs of the ADS902 are standard CMOS
stages and designed to be compatible with both high speed
TTL and CMOS logic families. The logic thresholds are for
low-voltage CMOS: VOL = 0.4V, VOH = 2.4V, which allows
the ADS902 to directly interface to 3V-logic. The digital
outputs of the ADS902 uses a dedicated digital supply pin
(see Figure 8). By adjusting the voltage on LVDD, the digital
output levels will vary respectively. In any case, it is recommended to limit the fan-out to one, in order to keep the
capacitive loading on the data lines below the specified
15pF. If necessary, external buffers or latches may be used
which provide the added benefit of isolating the ADC
converter from any digital activities on the bus from coupling back high frequency noise and degrading the performance. The standard output coding is Straight Offset Binary
where the full scale input signal corresponds to all “1”s at
the output (see Table I). The digital outputs of the ADS902
can be set to a high impedance state by driving the OE (pin
16) with a logic “H”. Normal operation is achieved with a
“L” at OE or left unconnected due to the internal pull-down
resistor.

CLOCK INPUT
The clock input of the ADS902 is designed to accommodate
either +5V or +3V CMOS logic levels. To drive the clock
input with a minimum amount of duty cycle variation and
support maximum sampling rates (30MSPS), high speed or
advanced CMOS logic should be used (HC/HCT, AC/ACT).
When digitizing at high sampling rates, a 50% duty cycle
along with fast rise and fall times (2ns or less) are recommended to meet the rated performance specifications. However, the ADS902 performance is tolerant of duty-cycle variations of as much as ±5%, which should not affect performance. For applications operating with input frequencies up to

POWER-DOWN MODE
The ADS902’s low power consumption can be reduced even
further by initiating a power-down mode. To do so, the
Pwrdn-Pin (Pin 17) must be tied to a logic “High” reducing
the current drawn from the supply by about 88%. In normal
operation the power-down mode is disabled by an internal
pull-down resistor (50kΩ).
During power-down, the digital outputs are set into the highimpedance condition (3-state). With the clock applied, the
converter does not accurately process the sampled signal.
After removing the power-down condition the output data
from the following 5 clock cycles is invalid (data latency).
DECOUPLING AND GROUNDING
CONSIDERATIONS
The ADS902 converter has several supply pins, one of
which is dedicated to supply only the output driver. The
remaining supply pins are not, as is often the case, divided
into analog and digital supply pins since they are internally
connected on the chip. For this reason it is recommended to
treat the converter as an analog component and to power it
from the analog supply only. Digital supply lines often carry
high levels of noise which can couple back into the converter
and limit the achievable performance.
ADS902
SBAS063A
Because of the pipeline architecture, the converter also
generates high frequency 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 9 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.
