DESCRIPTION
The TLV5580 is an 8-bit 80 MSPS high-speed A/D
converter. It converts the analog input signal into
8-bit binary-coded digital words up to a sampling
rate of 80 MHz. All digital inputs and outputs are
3.3 V TTL/CMOS-compatible.
The device consumes very little power due to the
3.3 V supply and an innovative single-pipeline
architecture implemented in a CMOS process.
The user obtains maximum flexibility by setting
both bottom and top voltage references from
user-supplied voltages. If no external references
are available, on-chip references are available for

internal and external use. The full-scale range is
1 Vpp up to 1.6 Vpp, depending on the analog
supply voltage. If external references are
available, the internal references can be disabled
independently from the rest of the chip, resulting
in an even greater power saving.
While usable in a wide variety of applications, the
device is specifically suited for the digitizing of
high-speed graphics and for interfacing to LCD
panels or LCD/DMD projection modules . Other
applications include DVD read channel
digitization,
medical
imaging
and
communications. This device is suitable for IF
sampling of communication systems using
sub-Nyquist sampling methods because of its
high analog input bandwidth.

Correction Logic

D0(LSB)−D7(MSB)
The single-pipeline architecture uses 6 ADC/DAC stages and one final flash ADC. Each stage produces a
resolution of 2 bits. The correction logic generates its result using the 2-bit result from the first stage, 1 bit from
each of the 5 succeeding stages, and 1 bit from the final stage in order to arrive at an 8-bit result. The correction
logic ensures no missing codes over the full operating temperature range.

1. Integral nonlinearity refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from zero to full scale. The point used as zero
occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. The full−scale point is defined as a level 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation
is measured from the center of each particular code to the true straight line between these two endpoints.
2. An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Therefore this measure indicates
how uniform the transfer function step sizes are. The ideal step size is defined here as the step size for the device under test (i.e., (last transition
level − first transition level) ÷ (2n − 2)). Using this definition for DNL separates the effects of gain and offset error. A minimum DNL better than −1
LSB ensures no missing codes.
3. Zero error is defined as the difference in analog input voltage − between the ideal voltage and the actual voltage − that will switch the ADC output
from code 0 to code 1. The ideal voltage level is determined by adding the voltage corresponding to 1/2 LSB to the bottom reference level. The
voltage corresponding to 1 LSB is found from the difference of top and bottom references divided by the number of ADC output levels (256).
Full-scale error is defined as the difference in analog input voltage – between the ideal voltage and the actual voltage – that will switch the ADC
output from code 254 to code 255. The ideal voltage level is determined by subtracting the voltage corresponding to 1.5 LSB from the top reference
level. The voltage corresponding to 1 LSB is found from the difference of top and bottom references divided by the number of ADC output levels
(256).

6. The number of clock cycles between conversion initiation on an input sample and the corresponding output data being made available from the
ADC pipeline. Once the data pipeline is full, new valid output data is provided on every clock cycle. In order to know when data is stable on the
output pins, the output delay time td(o) (i.e., the delay time through the digital output buffers) needs to be added to the pipeline latency. Note that
since the max. td(o) is more than 1/2 clock period at 80 MHz; data cannot be reliably clocked in on a rising edge of CLK at this speed. The falling
edge should be used.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The TLV5580 implements a high-speed 80 MSPS converter in a cost-effective CMOS process. Powered from
3.3 V, the single-pipeline design architecture ensures low-power operation and 8 bit accuracy. Signal input and
clock signals are all single-ended. The digital inputs are 3.3 V TTL/ CMOS compatible. Internal voltage
references are included for both bottom and top voltages. Therefore the converter forms a self-contained
solution. Alternatively the user may apply externally generated reference voltages. In doing so, both input offset
and input range can be modified to suit the application.
A high-speed sampling-and-hold captures the analog input signal. Multiple stages will generate the output code
with a pipeline delay of 4.5 CLK cycles. Correction logic combines the multistage data and aligns the 8-bit output
word. All digital logic operates at the rising edge of CLK.

Figure 12. Simplified Equivalent Input Circuit
A first-order approximation for the equivalent analog input circuit of the TLV5580 is shown in Figure 12. The
equivalent input capacitance CI is 4 pF typical. The input must charge/discharge this capacitance within the
sample period of one half clock cycle. When a full-scale voltage step is applied, the input source provides the
charging current through the switch resistance RSW (200 Ω) of S1 and quickly settles. In this case the input
impedance is low. Alternatively, when the source voltage equals the value previously stored on CI, the hold
capacitor requires no input current and the equivalent input impedance is very high.
To maintain the frequency performance outlined in the specifications, the total source impedance should be
limited to about 80 Ω, as follows from the equation with fCLK = 80 MHz, CI = 4 pF, RSW = 200 Ω:

So, for applications running at a lower fCLK, the total source resistance can increase proportionally.

For dc-coupled systems an op amp can level-shift a ground-referenced input signal. A circuit as shown in
Figure 13(a) is acceptable. Alternatively, the user might want a bipolar shift together with the bottom reference

Figure 14. AC-Coupled Input Circuit
For many applications, especially in single supply operation, ac coupling offers a convenient way for biasing
the analog input signal at the proper signal range. Figure 14 shows a typical configuration. To maintain the
outlined specifications, the component values need to be carefully selected. The most important issue is the
positioning of the 3 dB high-pass corner point f−3 dB, which is a function of R2 and the parallel combination of
C1 and C2, called Ceq. This is given by the following equation:
f

where Ceq is the parallel combination of C1 and C2.
Since C1 is typically a large electrolytic or tantalum capacitor, the impedance becomes inductive at higher
frequencies. Adding a small ceramic or polystyrene capacitor, C2 of approximately 0.01 µF, which is not
inductive within the frequency range of interest, maintains low impedance. If the minimum expected input signal
frequency is 20 kHz, and R2 equals 1 kΩ and R1 equals 50 Ω, the parallel capacitance of C1 and C2 must be
a minimum of 8 nF to avoid attenuating signals close to 20 kHz.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
REFERENCE TERMINALS
The voltages on terminals REFBI and REFTI determine the TLV5580’s input range. Since the device has an
internal voltage reference generator with outputs available on REFBO respectively REFTO, corresponding
terminals can be directly connected externally to provide a contained ADC solution. Especially at higher
sampling rates, it is advantageous to have a wider analog input range. The wider analog input range is
achievable by using external voltage references (e.g., at AVDD = 3.3 V, the full scale range can be extended
from 1 Vpp (internal reference) to 1.3 Vpp (external reference) as shown in Table 1). These voltages should
not be derived via a voltage divider from a power supply source. Instead, use a bandgap-derived voltage
reference to derive both references via an op amp circuit. Refer to the schematic of the TLV5580 evaluation
module for an example circuit.
When using external references, the full-scale ADC input range and its dc position can be adjusted. The
full-scale ADC range is always equal to VREFT – VREFB. The maximum full-scale range is dependent on AVDD
as shown in the specification section. In addition to the limitation on their difference, VREFT and VREFB each
also have limits on their useful range. These limits are also dependent on AVDD.
Table 3 summarizes these limits for 3 cases.

DIGITAL INPUTS
The digital inputs are CLK, STDBY, PWDN_REF, and OE. All these signals, except CLK, have an internal
pull-down resistor to connect to digital ground. This provides a default active operation mode using internal
references when left unconnected.
The CLK signal at high frequencies should be considered as an analog input. Overshoot/undershoot should
be minimized by proper termination of the signal close to the TLV5580. An important cause of performance
degradation for a high-speed ADC is clock jitter. Clock jitter causes uncertainty in the sampling instant of the
ADC, in addition to the inherent uncertainty on the sampling instant caused by the part itself, as specified by
its aperture jitter. There is a theoretical relationship between the frequency (f) and resolution (2N) of a signal
that needs to be sampled and the maximum amount of aperture error dtmax that is tolerable. The following
formula shows the relation:

As an example, for an 8−bit converter with a 15-MHz input, the jitter needs to be kept
