GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SPT7860 is a 10-bit monolithic, low-cost, ultralowpower analog-to-digital conver ter capable of minimum word rates of 40 MSPS. The on-chip track-and-hold function assures ver y good dynamic performance without the need for exter nal components. The input dr ive requirements are minimized due to the SPT7860’s low input capacitance of only 5 pF. Power dissipation is extremely low at only 175 mW typical at 40 MSPS with a power supply of +5.0 V. The digital outputs are +3 V or +5 V, and are user selectable. The
SPT7860 is pin-compatible with an entire family of 10-bit, CMOS conver ters (SPT7835/40/50/55/60/61), which simplifies upgrades. The SPT7860 has incor porated proprietary circuit design* and CMOS processing technologies to achieve its advanced performance. Inputs and outputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible to interface with TTL/CMOS logic systems. Output data for mat is straight binary. The SPT7860 is available in 28-lead SOIC and 32-lead small (7 mm square) TQFP packages over the commercial temperature range.

TYPICAL INTERFACE CIRCUIT
Very few external components are required to achieve the stated device performance. Figure 2 shows the typical interface requirements when using the SPT7860 in nor mal circuit operation. The following sections provide descriptions of the major functions and outline critical performance criteria to consider for achieving the optimal device perfor mance. POWER SUPPLIES AND GROUNDING
OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The general architecture for the CMOS ADC is shown in the block diagram. The design contains 16 identical successive approximation ADC sections, all operating in parallel, a 16-phase clock generator, an 11-bit 16:1 digital output multiplexer, correction logic, and a voltage reference generator that provides common reference levels for each ADC section.
The high sample rate is achieved by using multiple SAR ADC sections in parallel, each of which samples the input CADEKA suggests that both the digital and the analog sup- signal in sequence. Each ADC uses 16 clock cycles to ply voltages on the SPT7860 be derived from a single ana- complete a conversion. The clock cycles are allocated as log supply as shown in figure 2. A separate digital supply shown in table II. should be used for all interface circuitr y. CADEKA suggests using this power supply configuration to prevent a possible latch-up condition on powerup.

The 16-phase clock, which is derived from the input clock, synchronizes these events. The timing signals for adjacent ADC sections are shifted by one clock cycle so that the analog input is sampled on every cycle of the input clock by exactly one ADC section. After 16 clock periods, the timing cycle repeats. The latency from analog input sample to the corresponding digital output is 12 clock cycles. • Since only 16 comparators are used, a huge power savings is realized. • The auto-zero operation is done using a closed loop system that uses multiple samples of the comparator’s response to a reference zero. • The auto-calibrate operation, which calibrates the gain of the MSB reference and the LSB reference, is also done with a closed loop system. Multiple samples of the gain error are integrated to produce a calibration voltage for each ADC section. • Capacitive displacement currents, which can induce sampling error, are minimized since only one comparator samples the input during a clock cycle. • The total input capacitance is very low since sections of the converter that are not sampling the signal are isolated from the input by transmission gates. VOLTAGE REFERENCE The SPT7860 requires the use of a single external voltage reference for driving the high side of the reference ladder. It must be within the range of 3 V to 5 V. The lower side of the ladder is typically tied to AGND (0.0 V), but can be run up to 2.0 V with a second reference. The analog input voltage range will track the total voltage difference measured between the ladder sense lines, VRHS and VRLS. Force and sense taps are provided to ensure accurate and stable setting of the upper and lower ladder sense line voltages across part-to-part and temperature variations. By using the configuration shown in figure 3, offset and gain errors of less than ±2 LSB can be obtained. In cases where wider variations in offset and gain can be tolerated, VREF can be tied directly to VRHF, and AGND can be tied directly to VRLF as shown in figure 4.

(chip cap preferred) to minimize high-frequency noise injection. If this simplified configuration is used, the following considerations should be taken into account. The reference ladder circuit shown in figure 4 is a simplified representation of the actual reference ladder with force and sense taps shown. Due to the actual internal structure of the ladder, the voltage drop from VRHF to VRHS is not equivalent to the voltage drop from VRLF to VRLS.

Typically, the top side voltage drop for VRHF to VRHS will equal: VRHF – VRHS = 2.25 % of (VRHF – VRLF) (typical), and the bottom side voltage drop for VRLS to VRLF will equal: VRLS – VRLF = 1.9 % of (VRHF – VRLF) (typical). Figure 4 shows an example of expected voltage drops for a specific case. VREF of 4.0 V is applied to VRHF, and VRLF is tied to AGND. A 90 mV drop is seen at VRHS (= 3.91 V), and a 75 mV increase is seen at VRLS (= 0.075 V). ANALOG INPUT VIN is the analog input. The input voltage range is from VRLS to VRHS (typically 4.0 V) and will scale proportionally with respect to the voltage reference. (See voltage reference section.) The drive requirements for the analog inputs are very minimal when compared to most other converters due to the SPT7860’s extremely low input capacitance of only 5 pF and very high input resistance of 50 kΩ. The analog input should be protected through a series resistor and diode clamping circuit as shown in figure 5. Figure 5 – Recommended Input Protection Circuit
+V AVDD
Upon powerup, the SPT7860 begins its calibration algorithm. In order to achieve the calibration accuracy required, the offset and gain adjustment step size is a fraction of a 10-bit LSB. Since the calibration algorithm is an oversampling process, a minimum of 10,000 clock cycles are required. This results in a minimum calibration time upon powerup of 250 µsec (for a 40 MHz clock). Once calibrated, the SPT7860 remains calibrated over time and temperature. Since the calibration cycles are initiated on the rising edge of the clock, the clock must be continuously applied for the SPT7860 to remain in calibration. INPUT PROTECTION All I/O pads are protected with an on-chip protection circuit shown in figure 6. This circuit provides ESD robustness to 3.5 kV and prevents latch-up under severe discharge conditions without degrading analog transition times. Figure 6 – On-Chip Protection Circuit

POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING CONSIDERATIONS
V D1 = D2 = Hewlett-Packard HP5712 or equivalent
All logic inputs should be held low until power to the device has settled to the specific tolerances. Avoid power decoupling networks with large time constants that could delay VDD power to the device. CLOCK INPUT The SPT7860 is driven from a single-ended TTL-input clock. Because the pipelined architecture operates on the rising edge of the clock input, the device can operate over a wide range of input clock duty cycles without degrading the dynamic performance.
CALIBRATION The SPT7860 uses an auto-calibration scheme to ensure 10-bit accuracy over time and temperature. Gain and offset errors are continually adjusted to 10-bit accuracy during device operation. This process is completely transparent to the user.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS The digital outputs (D0–D10) are driven by a separate supply (OVDD) ranging from +3 V to +5 V. This feature makes it possible to drive the SPT7860’s TTL/CMOScompatible outputs with the user’s logic system supply. The format of the output data (D0–D9) is straight binary. (See table III.) The outputs are latched on the rising edge of CLK. These outputs can be switched into a tri-state mode by bringing EN high. Table III – Output Data Information

OVERRANGE OUTPUT The OVERRANGE OUTPUT (D10) is an indication that the analog input signal has exceeded the positive fullscale input voltage by 1 LSB. When this condition occurs, D10 will switch to logic 1. All other data outputs (D0 to D9) will remain at logic 1 as long as D10 remains at logic 1. This feature makes it possible to include the SPT7860 in higher resolution systems.
