The ECL-compatible outputs are demultiplexed into two separate output banks, each with differential data ready outputs to ease the task of data capture. The CDK1303’s wide input bandwidth and low capacitance eliminate the need for external track-and-hold amplifiers for most applications. A proprietary decoding scheme reduces metastable errors to the 1 LSB level. The CDK1303 operates from a single -5.2V supply, with a nominal power dissipation of 5.5W. The CDK1303 is available in an 80-lead surface-mount MQUAD package over the industrial temperature range (-25°C to +85°C). 1:2 Demuxed ECL compatible outputs Wide input bandwidth – 900MHz Low input capacitance – 15pF Metastable errors reduced to 1 LSB Gray code output applications n n n n Digital oscilloscopes Transient capture Radar, EW, and ECM Direct RF down-conversion Block Diagram REV 1A Ordering Information Part Number CDK1303AEMQ80 CDK1303AEMQ80_Q CDK1303BEMQ80 CDK1303BEMQ80_Q Package MQUAD-80 MQUAD-80 MQUAD-80 MQUAD-80 Pb-Free Yes No Yes No RoHS Compliant Yes No Yes No Operating Temperature Range -25°C to +85°C -25°C to +85°C -25°C to +85°C -25°C to +85°C Packaging Method Rail Rail Rail Rail Moisture sensitivity level for all parts is MSL-1. ©2008 CADEKA Microcircuits LLC www.cadeka.com Data Sheet Pin Configuration MQUAD-80 CDK1303 8-bit, 1 GSPS, Flash A/D Converter CDK1303 Pin Assignments Pin Name VEE AGND VRTF VRTS VRM VRBF VRBS VIN DGND D0-D7A D0-D7B DRA DRA DRB DRB D8A D8B CLK CLK Description Negative Supply Nominally -5.2V Analog Ground Reference Voltage Force Top, Nominally 0V Reference Voltage Sense Top Reference Voltage Middle, Nominally -1V Reference Voltage Force Bottom, Nominally -2V Reference Voltage Sense Bottom Analog Input Voltage, Can Be Either Voltage or Sense Digital Ground Data Output Bank A Data Output Bank B Data Ready Bank A Not Data Ready Bank A Data Ready Bank B Not Data Ready Bank B Overrange Output Bank A Overrange Output Bank B Clock Input Clock Input REV 1A ©2008 CADEKA Microcircuits LLC www.cadeka.com 2 Data Sheet Absolute Maximum Ratings The safety of the device is not guaranteed when it is operated above the “Absolute Maximum Ratings”.

The nominal conversion rate is 1 GSPS and the analog bandwidth is in excess of 900MHz. A major advance over previous flash converters is the inclusion of 256 input preamplifiers between the reference ladder and input comparators (see block diagram). This not only reduces clock transient kickback to the input and reference ladder due to a low AC beta, but also reduces the effect of the dynamic state of the input signal on the latching characteristics of the input comparators. The preamplifiers act as buffers and stabilize the input capacitance so that it remains constant over different input voltage and frequency ranges and therefore makes the part easier to drive than previous flash converters. The preamplifiers also add a gain of two to the input signal so that each comparator has a wider overdrive or threshold range to “trip” into or out of the active state. This gain reduces metastable states that can cause errors at the output. The CDK1303 has true differential analog and digital data paths from the preamplifiers to the output buffers (Current Mode Logic) for reducing potential missing codes while rejecting common mode noise. Signature errors are also reduced by careful layout of the analog circuitry. The output drive capability of the device can provide full ECL swings into 50Ω loads.

Typical Interface Circuit Diagram ©2008 CADEKA Microcircuits LLC www.cadeka.com 6 Data Sheet Typical Interface Circuit The circuit in Figure 1 is intended to show the most elaborate method of achieving the least error by correcting for integral linearity, input induced distortion, and power supply/ ground noise. This is achieved by the use of external reference ladder tap connections, input buffer, and supply decoupling. Please contact the factory for the CDK1303 evaluation board application note that contains more details on interfacing the CDK1303. The function of each pin and external connections to other components is as follows: VEE, AGND, DGND VEE is the supply pin with AGND as ground for the device. The power supply pins should be bypassed as close to the device as possible with at least a 0.01μF ceramic capacitor. A 10μF tantalum can also be used for low frequency suppression. DGND is the ground for the ECL outputs and is to be referenced to the output pulldown voltage and appropriately bypassed as shown in Figure 1. VIN (Analog Input) There are two analog input pins that are tied to the same point internally. Either one may be used as an analog input sense and the other for input force. This is convenient for testing the source signal to see if there is sufficient drive capability. The pins can also be tied together and driven by the same source. The CDK1303 is superior to similar devices due to a preamplifier stage before the comparators. This makes the device easier to drive because it has constant capacitance and induces less slew rate distortion. CLK, CLK (Clock Inputs) The clock inputs are designed to be driven differentially with ECL levels. The duty cycle of the clock should be kept at 50% to avoid causing larger second harmonics. If this is not important to the intended application, then duty cycles other than 50% may be used. D0 To D8, DR, DR, (A and B) The digital outputs can drive 50Ω to ECL levels when pulled down to -2V. When pulled down to -5.2V, the outputs can drive 130Ω to 1kΩ loads. All digital outputs are grey code with the coding as shown in Table 1. Cadeka recommends using differential receivers on the outputs of the data ready lines to ensure the proper output rise and fall times. VRBF, VRBS, VRTF, VRTS, VRM (Reference Inputs) There are two reference inputs and one external reference voltage tap. These are -2V (VRB force and sense), midtap (VRM) and AGND (VRT force and sense). The reference pins and tap can be driven by op amps as shown in Figure 1 or VRM may be bypassed for limited temperature operation. These voltage inputs can be bypassed to AGND for further noise suppression if so desired. Table 1.

We have found that a Thermalloy 17846 heat sink with a minimum air flow of 1 meter/second (200 linear feet per minute) provides adequate thermal performance under laboratory tests. Application specific conditions should be taken into account to ensure that the device is properly heat sinked. ©2008 CADEKA Microcircuits LLC www.cadeka.com 7 Data Sheet Operation The CDK1303 has 256 preamp/comparator pairs which are each supplied with the voltage from VRT to VRB divided equally by the resistive ladder as shown in the block diagram. This voltage is applied to the positive input of each preamplifier/comparator pair. An analog input voltage applied at VIN is connected to the negative inputs of each preamplifier/comparator pair. The comparators are then clocked through each one’s individual clock buffer. When the CLK pin is in the low state, the master or input stage of the comparators compare the analog input voltage to the respective reference voltage. When the CLK pin changes from low to high the comparators are latched to the state prior to the clock transition and output logic codes in sequence from the top comparators, closest to VRT (0V), down to the point where the magnitude of the input signal changes sign (thermometer code). The output of each comparator is then registered into four 64-to-6 bit decoders when the CLK is changed from high to low. At the output of the decoders is a set of four 7-bit latches which are enabled (“track”) when the clock changes from high to low. From here, the output of the latches are coded into 6 LSBs from 4 columns and 4 columns are coded into 2 MSBs. Finally, 8 ECL output latches and buffers are used to drive the external loads. The conversion takes one clock cycle from the input to the data outputs.
