SPT7710 8-BIT, 150 MSPS, FLASH A/D CONVERTER TECHNICAL DATA AUGUST 17, 2001 FEATURES • Metastable errors reduced to 1 LSB • Low input capacitance: 10 pF • Wide input bandwidth: 210 MHz • 150 MSPS conversion rate • Typical power dissipation: 2.2 watts APPLICATIONS • Digital oscilloscopes • Transient capture • Radar, EW, ECM • Direct RF down-conversion • Medical electronics: ultrasound, CAT instrumentation GENERAL DESCRIPTION The SPT7710 is a monolithic flash A/D conver ter capable of digitizing a two volt analog input signal into 8-bit digital words at a 150 MSPS (typ) update rate. For most applications, no external sample-and-hold is required for accurate conversion due to the device’s narrow aper ture time, wide bandwidth, and low input capacitance. A single standard –5.2 volt power supply is required for operation of the SPT7710, with nominal power dissipation of 2.2 W. A proprietar y decoding scheme reduces metastable errors to the 1 LSB level. The SPT7710 is available in 42-lead ceramic sidebrazed DIP, surface-mount 44-lead cerquad and 46-lead PGA packages; the cerquad and PGA packages allow access to additional reference ladder taps, an overrange bit, and a data ready output. The SPT7710 is available in the industrial temperature range.

The nominal conversion rate is 150 MSPS and the analog bandwidth is in excess of 200 MHz. 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 for varying input voltages and frequencies and, therefore, makes the part easier to drive than previous flash converters. The SPT7710 incorporates a proprietary decoding scheme that reduces metastable errors (sparkle codes or flyers) to a maximum of 1 LSB. The SPT7710 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. Every comparator also has a clock buffer to reduce differential delays and to improve signal-tonoise ratio. The output drive capability of the device can provide full ECL swings into 50 Ω loads. TYPICAL INTERFACE CIRCUIT The typical interface circuit is shown in figure 1. The SPT7710 is relatively easy to apply depending on the accuracy needed in the intended application. Wire-wrap may be employed with careful point-to-point ground connections if desired, but to achieve the best operation, a SPT7710 5 8/17/01 Figure 2 – Typical Interface Circuit 2 (PGA and Cerquad packages only) *See below + U1 – Voltage Limiter VCC + U1 – VEE 22 VCC 10 W Q1 Analog Input Force RT DGND AGND L VEE 2.2 µF .01 µF –5.2 V D1 VRTF VIN LINV MINV 2.2 µF .01 µF VRTS Preamp Comparator 256 Clock Buffer 192 MSB D7 Overrange D8 Typical Voltage Limiter RS 49.9 D1 –5.2 191 D2 R + – U1 and U2= Rail-to-Rail Op Amp D1=HP, 1N5712 Q1=1N2222A Q2=1N2907A R = 1 kW, .1% U2 10-25 W VR3 D6 .01 µF 151 D5 R 10-25 W V + R2 U2 – .01 µF R 128 256 to 8-Bit Encoder ECL Latches And Buffers D4 127 D3 64 D2 .01 µF 63 D1 R 2 LSB D0 VREF –2 V + U2 – 22 W VRBF VRBS .01 µF + U2 – 10-25 W VR1 VEE 1 VEE .01 µF 2.2 µF DRINV DREAD 2 AGND VEE 50 W AGND –2 V .01 µF –5.2 V VEE .01 µF –2 V (Digital) .01 µF 50 W CLK Convert 100116 50 W 50 W –2 V (Analog) CLK Analog Input VIN (Sense) .01 µF double-sided PC board with a ground plane on the component side separated into digital and analog sections will give the best performance. The converter is bonded-out to place the digital pins on the left side of the package and the analog pins on the right side. Additionally, an RF bead connection through a single point from the analog to digital ground planes will reduce ground noise pickup. The circuit in figure 2 (PGA and cerquad packages only) is intended to show the most elaborate method of achieving the least error by correcting for integral nonlinearity, input induced distortion, and power supply/ground noise. This is achieved by the use of external reference ladder tap connections, an input buffer, and supply decoupling. 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 .01 µF ceramic capacitor. A 1 µF tantalum should 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 SPT7710 6 8/17/01 Table I – Output Coding TRUE BINARY INVERTED MINV=LINV=1 D7_____D0 11111111 11111110 10000000 01111111 00000000 00000001 00000000 TWOs COMPLEMENT TRUE INVERTED MINV=LINV=0 ANALOG INPUT VOLTAGE –2 V + 1/2 LSB D8 0 D7_____D0 00000000 00000001 –1.0 V 0 01111111 10000000 0 V – 1/2 LSB 0 11111111 11111110 ≥0 V 1 11111111 MINV=1; LINV=0 MINV=0; LINV=1 D7_____D0 10000000 10000001 11111111 00000000 01111111 01111110 01111111 D7_____D0 01111111 01111110 00000000 11111111 10000000 10000001 10000000 the same source. The SPT7710 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. An optional input buffer may be used. CLK, CLK (CLOCK INPUTS) The clock inputs are designed to be driven differentially with ECL levels. The clock may be driven single-ended since CLK is internally biased to –1.3 V. (See clock input circuit.) CLK may be left open, but a .01 µF bypass capacitor from CLK to AGND is recommended. NOTE: System performance may be degraded due to increased clock noise or jitter. MINV, LINV (OUTPUT LOGIC CONTROL) These are ECL-compatible digital controls for changing the output code from straight binary to two’s complement, etc. For more information, see table I. Both MINV and LINV are in the logic low (0) state when they are left open. The high state can be obtained by tying to AGND through a diode or 3.9 kΩ resistor. D0 TO D7 (DIGITAL OUTPUTS) The digital outputs can drive ECL levels into 50 Ω when pulled down to –2 V. When pulled down to –5.2 V, the outputs can drive 150 Ω to 1 kΩ loads. VRBF, VR2, VRTF (REFERENCE INPUTS) There are two reference inputs and one external reference voltage tap. These are –2 V (VRBF), mid-tap (VR2), and AGND (VRTF). The reference pins can be driven as shown in figure 1. VR2 should be bypassed to AGND for further noise suppression. VRBF, VRBS, VR1, VR2, VR3, VRTF, VRTS REFERENCE INPUTS (PGA AND CERQUAD PACKAGES ONLY) These are five external reference voltage taps from –2 V (VRBF) to AGND (VRTF) that can be used to control integral linearity over temperature. The taps can be driven by op amps as shown in figure 2. These voltage level inputs can be bypassed to AGND for further noise suppression if so desired. VRB and VRT have force and sense pins for monitoring the top and bottom voltage references. N/C All Not Connected pins should be tied to DGND on the left side of the package and to AGND on the right side of the package. DREAD – DATA READY; DRINV – DATA READY INVERSE (PGA AND CERQUAD PACKAGES ONLY) The data ready pin is a flag that goes high or low at the output when data is valid or ready to be received. It is essentially a delay line that accounts for the time necessary for information to be clocked through the SPT7710’s decoders and latches. This function is useful for interfacing with high-speed memory. Using the data ready output to latch the output data ensures minimum set-up and hold times. DRINV is a data ready inverse control pin. (See the timing diagram.) D8 – OVERRANGE (PGA AND CERQUAD PACKAGES ONLY) This is an overrange function. When the SPT7710 is in an overrange condition, D8 goes high and all data outputs go high as well. This makes it possible to include the SPT7710 into higher resolution systems. SPT7710 7 8/17/01 OPERATION The SPT7710 has 256 preamp/comparator pairs that are each supplied with the voltage from VRTF to VRBF 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 comparator’s individual clock buffer. When CLK pin is in the low state, the master or input stage of the comparators compares the analog input voltage to the respective reference voltage. When CLK changes from low to high, the comparators are latched to the state prior to the clock transition and output logic codes in Figure 3 – Timing Diagram sequence from the top comparators, closest to VRTF (0 V), 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 CLK is changed from high to low. At the output of the decoders is a set of four 7-bit latches that are enabled (track) when CLK changes from high to low. From here, the outputs of the latches are coded into 6 LSBs from 4 columns, and 4 columns are coded into 2 MSBs. Next are the MINV and LINV controls for output inversions, which consist of a set of eight XOR gates. 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.
