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 SPT7760’s wide input bandwidth and low capacitance eliminate the need for ex- ter nal track-and-hold amplifiers for most applications. A proprietar y decoding scheme reduces metastable errors to the 1 LSB level. The SPT7760 operates from a single –5.2 V supply, with a nominal power dissipation of 5.5 W. The SPT7760 is available in an 80-lead surface-mount MQuad package over the industrial temperature range (–25 °C to +85 °C).

The nominal conversion rate is 1 GSPS and the analog bandwidth is in excess of 900 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 over different input voltage and frequency ranges and therefore Figure 1 – SPT7760 Typical Interface Circuit DRB VIN** 50 W VIN VIN DRB DRA 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 SPT7760 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 50 Ω loads.

This is achieved by the use of external reference ladder tap connections, input buffer, and supply decoupling. Please contact the factor y for the SPT7760 evaluation board application note that contains more details on interfacing the SPT7760. 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 10 µF 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 SPT7760 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 distor tion. 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 impor tant 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 50 Ω to ECL levels when pulled down to –2 V. When pulled down to –5.2 V, the outputs can drive 130 Ω to 1 kΩ loads. All digital outputs are grey code with the coding as shown in table I. 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 –2 V (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 fur ther noise suppression if so desired. Table I – Output Coding VIN >–0.5 LSB –0.5 LSB –1.5 LSB • • • –1.0 V • • • –2.0 V +0.5 LSB
