The LTC®2232 and LTC2233 are 105Msps/80Msps, sampling 10-bit A/D converters designed for digitizing high frequency, wide dynamic range signals. The LTC2232/ LTC2233 are perfect for demanding communications applications with AC performance that includes 61dB SNR and 75dB spurious free dynamic range for signals up to 200MHz. Ultralow jitter of 0.15psRMS allows undersampling of IF frequencies with excellent noise performance. DC specs include ± 0.15LSB INL (typ), ± 0.1LSB DNL (typ) and ±0.8LSB INL, ±0.6LSB DNL over temperature. The transition noise is a low 0.12LSBRMS. A separate output power supply allows the outputs to drive 0.5V to 3.6V logic. The ENC+ and ENC – inputs may be driven differentially or single ended with a sine wave, PECL, LVDS, TTL, or CMOS inputs. An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer allows high performance at full speed for a wide range of clock duty cycles.

Note 5: Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve. The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band. Note 6: Offset error is the offset voltage measured from –0.5 LSB when the output code flickers between 00 0000 0000 and 11 1111 1111 in 2’s complement output mode. Note 7: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test. Note 8: Recommended operating conditions.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion Ratio
The signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio [S/(N + D)] is the ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency components at the ADC output. The output is band limited to frequencies above DC to below half the sampling frequency. Signal-to-Noise Ratio The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency components except the first five harmonics and DC. Total Harmonic Distortion Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the RMS sum of all harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself. The out-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency band between DC and half the sampling frequency. THD is expressed as: THD = 20Log (√(V2 + V3 + V4 + . . . Vn )/V1)
2 2 2 2
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental frequency and V2 through Vn are the amplitudes of the second through nth harmonics. The THD calculated in this data sheet uses all the harmonics up to the fifth. Intermodulation Distortion If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can produce intermodulation distortion (IMD) in addition to THD. IMD is the change in one sinusoidal input caused by the presence of another sinusoidal input at a different frequency.
14
U
If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are applied to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer function can create distortion products at the sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. The 3rd order intermodulation products are 2fa + fb, 2fb + fa, 2fa – fb and 2fb – fa. The intermodulation distortion is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of either input tone to the RMS value of the largest 3rd order intermodulation product. Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) Spurious free dynamic range is the peak harmonic or spurious noise that is the largest spectral component excluding the input signal and DC. This value is expressed in decibels relative to the RMS value of a full scale input signal. Input Bandwidth The input bandwidth is that input frequency at which the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by 3dB for a full scale input signal. Aperture Delay Time The time from when a rising ENC+ equals the ENC– voltage to the instant that the input signal is held by the sample and hold circuit. Aperture Delay Jitter The variation in the aperture delay time from conversion to conversion. This random variation will result in noise when sampling an AC input. The signal to noise ratio due to the jitter alone will be: SNRJITTER = –20log (2π • fIN • tJITTER)

CONVERTER OPERATION As shown in Figure 1, the LTC2232/LTC2233 is a CMOS pipelined multistep converter. The converter has five pipelined ADC stages; a sampled analog input will result in a digitized value five cycles later (see the Timing Diagram section). For optimal AC performance the analog inputs should be driven differentially. For cost sensitive applications, the analog inputs can be driven single-ended with slightly worse harmonic distortion. The encode input is differential for improved common mode noise immunity. The LTC2232/LTC2233 has two phases of operation, determined by the state of the differential ENC+/ENC– input pins. For brevity, the text will refer to ENC+ greater than ENC– as ENC high and ENC+ less than ENC– as ENC low. Each pipelined stage shown in Figure 1 contains an ADC, a reconstruction DAC and an interstage residue amplifier. In operation, the ADC quantizes the input to the stage and the quantized value is subtracted from the input by the DAC to produce a residue. The residue is amplified and output by the residue amplifier. Successive stages operate out of phase so that when the odd stages are outputting their residue, the even stages are acquiring that residue and vice versa. When ENC is low, the analog input is sampled differentially directly onto the input sample-and-hold capacitors, inside the “Input S/H” shown in the block diagram. At the instant that ENC transitions from low to high, the sampled input is held. While ENC is high, the held input voltage is buffered by the S/H amplifier which drives the first pipelined ADC stage. The first stage acquires the output of the S/H during this high phase of ENC. When ENC goes back low, the first stage produces its residue which is acquired by the second stage. At the same time, the input S/H goes back to acquiring the analog input. When ENC goes back high, the second stage produces its residue which is acquired by the third stage. An identical process is repeated for the third and fourth stages, resulting in a fourth stage residue that is sent to the fifth stage ADC for final evaluation.
U
Each ADC stage following the first has additional range to accommodate flash and amplifier offset errors. Results from all of the ADC stages are digitally synchronized such that the results can be properly combined in the correction logic before being sent to the output buffer. SAMPLE/HOLD OPERATION AND INPUT DRIVE Sample/Hold Operation Figure 2 shows an equivalent circuit for the LTC2232/ LTC2233 CMOS differential sample-and-hold. The analog inputs are connected to the sampling capacitors (CSAMPLE) through NMOS transistors. The capacitors shown attached to each input (CPARASITIC) are the summation of all other capacitance associated with each input.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
During the sample phase when ENC is low, the transistors connect the analog inputs to the sampling capacitors and they charge to, and track the differential input voltage. When ENC transitions from low to high, the sampled input voltage is held on the sampling capacitors. During the hold phase when ENC is high, the sampling capacitors are disconnected from the input and the held voltage is passed to the ADC core for processing. As ENC transitions from high to low, the inputs are reconnected to the sampling capacitors to acquire a new sample. Since the sampling capacitors still hold the previous sample, a charging glitch proportional to the change in voltage between samples will be seen at this time. If the change between the last sample and the new sample is small, the charging glitch seen at the input will be small. If the input change is large, such as the change seen with input frequencies near Nyquist, then a larger charging glitch will be seen. Single-Ended Input For cost sensitive applications, the analog inputs can be driven single-ended. With a single-ended input the harmonic distortion and INL will degrade, but the SNR and DNL will remain unchanged. For a single-ended input, AIN+ should be driven with the input signal and AIN– should be connected to 1.6V or VCM. Common Mode Bias For optimal performance the analog inputs should be driven differentially. Each input should swing ±0.5V for the 2V range or ±0.25V for the 1V range, around a common mode voltage of 1.6V. The VCM output pin (Pin 44) may be used to provide the common mode bias level. VCM can be tied directly to the center tap of a transformer to set the DC input level or as a reference level to an op amp differential driver circuit. The VCM pin must be bypassed to ground close to the ADC with a 2.2µF or greater capacitor. Input Drive Impedance As with all high performance, high speed ADCs, the dynamic performance of the LTC2232/LTC2233 can be influenced by the input drive circuitry, particularly the second and third harmonics. Source impedance and input reactance can influence SFDR. At the falling edge of ENC,
16
U
the sample-and-hold circuit will connect the 1.6pF sampling capacitor to the input pin and start the sampling period. The sampling period ends when ENC rises, holding the sampled input on the sampling capacitor. Ideally the input circuitry should be fast enough to fully charge the sampling capacitor during the sampling period 1/(2FENCODE); however, this is not always possible and the incomplete settling may degrade the SFDR. The sampling glitch has been designed to be as linear as possible to minimize the effects of incomplete settling. For the best performance, it is recommended to have a source impedance of 100Ω or less for each input. The source impedance should be matched for the differential inputs. Poor matching will result in higher even order harmonics, especially the second. Input Drive Circuits Figure 3 shows the LTC2232/LTC2233 being driven by an RF transformer with a center tapped secondary. The secondary center tap is DC biased with VCM, setting the ADC input signal at its optimum DC level. Terminating on the transformer secondary is desirable, as this provides a common mode path for charging glitches caused by the sample and hold. Figure 3 shows a 1:1 turns ratio transformer. Other turns ratios can be used if the source impedance seen by the ADC does not exceed 100Ω for each ADC input. A disadvantage of using a transformer is the loss of low frequency response. Most small RF transformers have poor performance at frequencies below 1MHz.

Figure 4 demonstrates the use of a differential amplifier to convert a single ended input signal into a differential input signal. The advantage of this method is that it provides low frequency input response; however, the limited gain bandwidth of most op amps will limit the SFDR at high input frequencies. Figure 5 shows a single-ended input circuit. The impedance seen by the analog inputs should be matched. This circuit is not recommended if low distortion is required. The 25Ω resistors and 12pF capacitor on the analog inputs serve two purposes: isolating the drive circuitry from the sample-and-hold charging glitches and limiting the wideband noise at the converter input. For input frequencies higher than 100MHz, the capacitor may need to be decreased to prevent excessive signal loss. For input frequencies above 100MHz the input circuits of Figure 6, 7 and 8 are recommended. The balun transformer gives better high frequency response than a flux coupled center tapped transformer. The coupling capacitors allow the analog inputs to be DC biased at 1.6V. In Figure 8 the series inductors are impedance matching elements that maximize the ADC bandwidth. Reference Operation Figure 9 shows the LTC2232/LTC2233 reference circuitry consisting of a 1.6V bandgap reference, a difference amplifier and switching and control circuit. The internal voltage reference can be configured for two pin selectable
U
input ranges of 2V (±1V differential) or 1V (±0.5V differential). Tying the SENSE pin to VDD selects the 2V range; typing the SENSE pin to VCM selects the 1V range. The 1.6V bandgap reference serves two functions: its output provides a DC bias point for setting the common mode voltage of any external input circuitry; additionally, the reference is used with a difference amplifier to generate the differential reference levels needed by the internal ADC circuitry. An external bypass capacitor is required for the 1.6V reference output, VCM. This provides a high frequency low impedance path to ground for internal and external circuitry. The difference amplifier generates the high and low reference for the ADC. High speed switching circuits are connected to these outputs and they must be externally bypassed. Each output has four pins: two each of REFHA and REFHB for the high reference and two each of REFLA and REFLB for the low reference. The multiple output pins are needed to reduce package inductance. Bypass capacitors must be connected as shown in Figure 9. Other voltage ranges in between the pin selectable ranges can be programmed with two external resistors as shown in Figure 10. An external reference can be used by applying its output directly or through a resistor divider to SENSE. It is not recommended to drive the SENSE pin with a logic device. The SENSE pin should be tied to the appropriate level as close to the converter as possible. If the SENSE pin is driven externally, it should be bypassed to ground as close to the device as possible with a 1µF ceramic capacitor.

LTC2232/LTC2233
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Input Range The input range can be set based on the application. The 2V input range will provide the best signal-to-noise performance while maintaining excellent SFDR. The 1V input range will have better SFDR performance, but the SNR will degrade by 1.5dB. See the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Driving the Encode Inputs The noise performance of the LTC2232/LTC2233 can depend on the encode signal quality as much as on the analog input. The ENC+/ENC– inputs are intended to be driven differentially, primarily for noise immunity from common mode noise sources. Each input is biased through a 6k resistor to a 1.6V bias. The bias resistors set the DC operating point for transformer coupled drive circuits and can set the logic threshold for single-ended drive circuits. Any noise present on the encode signal will result in additional aperture jitter that will be RMS summed with the inherent ADC aperture jitter.

In applications where jitter is critical (high input frequencies) take the following into consideration: 1. Differential drive should be used. 2. Use as large an amplitude as possible; if transformer coupled use a higher turns ratio to increase the amplitude. 3. If the ADC is clocked with a sinusoidal signal, filter the encode signal to reduce wideband noise. 4. Balance the capacitance and series resistance at both encode inputs so that any coupled noise will appear at both inputs as common mode noise. The encode inputs have a common mode range of 1.1V to 2.5V. Each input may be driven from ground to VDD for single-ended drive. Maximum and Minimum Encode Rates The maximum encode rate for the LTC2232/LTC2233 is 105Msps (LTC2232) and 80Msps (LTC2233). For the ADC to operate properly, the encode signal should have a 50% (±5%) duty cycle. Each half cycle must have at least 4.5ns (LTC2232) or 5.9ns (LTC2233) for the ADC internal circuitry to have enough settling time for proper operation. Achieving a precise 50% duty cycle is easy with differential sinusoidal drive using a transformer or using symmetric differential logic such as PECL or LVDS. An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit can be used if the input clock has a non 50% duty cycle. This circuit uses the rising edge of the ENC+ pin to sample the analog input. The falling edge of ENC+ is ignored and the internal falling edge is generated by a phase-locked loop. The input clock duty cycle can vary from 20% to 80% and the clock duty cycle stabilizer will maintain a constant 50% internal duty cycle. If the clock is turned off for a long period of time, the duty cycle stabilizer circuit will require a hundred clock cycles for the PLL to lock onto the input clock. To use the clock duty cycle stabilizer, the MODE pin should be connected to 1/3VDD or 2/3VDD using external resistors.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The lower limit of the LTC2232/LTC2233 sample rate is determined by droop of the sample-and-hold circuits. The pipelined architecture of this ADC relies on storing analog signals on small valued capacitors. Junction leakage will discharge the capacitors. The specified minimum operating frequency for the LTC2232/LTC2233 is 1Msps. DIGITAL OUTPUTS Table 1 shows the relationship between the analog input voltage, the digital data bits and the overflow bit.
