CLC5957 12-Bit, 70 MSPS Broadband Monolithic A/D Converter
General Description
The CLC5957 is a monolithic 12-bit, 70MSPS analog-todigital converter. The device has been optimized for use in IF-sampled digital receivers and other applications where high resolution, high sampling rate, wide dynamic range, low power dissipation, and compact size are required. The CLC5957 features differential analog inputs, low jitter differential universal clock inputs, a low distortion track-and-hold with 0-300MHz input bandwidth, a bandgap voltage reference, data valid clock output, TTL compatible CMOS (3.3V or 2.5V) programmable output logic, and a proprietary 12-bit multi-stage quantizer. The CLC5957 is fabricated on the ABIC-V 0.8 micron BiCMOS process. The CLC5957 features a 74dBc spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) and a 67dB signal to noise ratio (SNR). The wideband track-and-hold allows sampling of IF signals to greater than 250MHz. The part produces two-tone, dithered, SFDR of 83dBFS at 75MHz input frequency. The differential analog input provides excellent common mode rejection, while the differential universal clock inputs minimize jitter. The 48-pin TSSOP package provides an extremely small footprint for applications where space is a critical consideration. The CLC5957 operates from a single +5V power supply. Operation over the industrial temperature range of -40˚C to +85˚C is guaranteed. National Semiconductor tests each part to verify compliance with the guaranteed specifications.

Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are limiting values, to be applied individually, and beyond which the serviceability of the circuit may be impaired. Functional operability under any of these conditions is not necessarily implied. Exposure to maximum ratings for extended periods may affect device reliability. Note 2: These parameters are guaranteed by test. Note 3: Typical specifications are based on the mean test values of deliverable converters from the first three diffusion lots. Note 4: Values guaranteed based on characterization and simulation. Note 5: See page 14, Figure 3 for ENCODE inputs circuit. Note 6: CL = 7pF DATA; 10pF DAV. Note 7: The absolute maximum junction (TJmax) temperature for this device is 175˚C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by TJmax, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula PDmax = (TJmax – TA)/θJA. For the 48-pin TSSOP, θJA is 56˚C/W, so PDmax = 2.68W at 25˚C and 1.6W at the maximum operating ambient temperature of 85˚C. Note that the power dissipation of this device under normal operation will typically be about 650 mW (640 mW quiescent power + 10 mW due to 1 TTL load on each digital output). The values of absolute maximum power dissipation will only be reached when the CLC5957 is operated in a severe fault condition (e.g., when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is reversed). Obviously, such conditions should always be avoided.

CLC5957 Applications
Analog Inputs and Bias
Figure 1 depicts the analog input and bias scheme. Each of the differential analog inputs are internally biased to a nominal voltage of 2.40V DC through a 500Ω resistor to a low impedance buffer. This enables a simple interface to a broadband RF transformer with a center-tapped output winding that is decoupled to the analog ground. If the application requires the inputs to be DC coupled, the VCM output can be used to establish the proper common-mode input voltage for the ADC. The VCM voltage reference is generated from an internal bandgap source that is very accurate and stable.
015029F3
FIGURE 3. CLC5957 ENCODE Clock Inputs The internal bias resistors simplify the clock interface to another center-tapped transformer as depicted in Figure 4. A low phase noise, RF synthesizer of moderate amplitude (1 − 4VPP) can drive the ADC through this interface.
015029F1
FIGURE 1. CLC5957 Bias Scheme The VCM output may also be used to power down the ADC. When the VCM pin is pulled above 3.5V, the internal bias mirror is disabled and the total current is reduced to less than 10mA. Figure 2 depicts how this function can be used. The diode is necessary to prevent the logic gate from altering the ADC bias value.

Figure 5 shows the clock interface scheme for square wave clock sources.
015029F2
FIGURE 2. Power Shutdown Scheme ENCODE Clock Inputs The CLC5957’s differential input clock scheme is compatible with all commonly used clock sources. Although small differential and single-ended signals are adequate, for best aperture jitter performance a low noise differential clock with a high slew rate is preferred. As depicted in Figure 3, both ENCODE clock inputs are internally biased to VCC/2 through a pair of 5kΩ resistors. The clock input buffer operates with any common-mode voltage between the supply and ground.

Digital Outputs and Level Select
(Continued)
Figure 6 depicts the digital output buffer and bias used in the CLC5957. Although each of the twelve output bits uses a controlled current buffer to limit supply transients, it is recommended that parasitic loading of the outputs is minimized. Because these output transients are harmonically related to the analog input signal, excessive loading will degrade ADC performance at some frequencies.
power savings occurs at lower sample rates, since most of the power is used in analog circuits rather than digital circuits.
CLC5957 Evaluation Board
Description The Evaluation board for the CLC5957 allows for easy test and evaluation of the product. The part may be ordered with all components loaded and tested. The order number is the CLC5957PCASM. The user supplies an analog input signal, encode signal and power to the board and is able to take latched 12-bit digital data out of the board. ENCODE Input (ENC) The ENCODE input is an SMA connector with a termination of 50Ω. The encode signal is converted to an AC coupled, differential clock signal centered between VCC and ground. The user should supply a sinusoidal or square wave signal of > 200mVPP and < 4 VPP with a 50% duty cycle. The duty cycle can vary from 50% if the minimum clock pulse width times are observed. A low jitter source will be required for IF-sampled analog input signals to maintain best performance. CLC5957 Clock Option The CLC5957 evaluation board is configured for use with an optional crystal clock oscillator source. The component Y1 may be loaded with a ’Full-sized’, HCMOS type, crystal oscillator. Analog Input (AIN) The analog input is an SMA connector with a 50Ω termination. The signal is converted from single to differential by a transformer with a 5 to 260MHz bandwidth and approximately one dB loss. Full scale is approximately 11dBm or 2.2VPP. It is recommended that the source for the analog input signal be low jitter, low noise and low distortion to allow for proper test and evaluation of the CLC5957. Supply voltages (J1 pins 31 A&B and 32 A&B) The CLC5957PCASM is powered from a single 5V supply connected from the referenced pins on the Eurocard connector. The recommended supplies are low noise linear supplies. Digital Outputs (J1 pins 7B (MSB, D11) through 18B (LSB) and 20B (Data Valid)) The digital outputs are provided on the Eurocard connector. The outputs are buffered by 5V CMOS latches with 50Ω series output resistors. The rising edge of Data Valid may be used to clock the output data into data collection cards or logic analyzers. The board has a location for the HP 01650-63203 termination adapter for HP 16500 logic analyzers to simplify connection to the analyzer.

FIGURE 6. CLC5957 Digital Outputs The logic high level is slaved to the internal 2.4V reference. The OUTLEV control pin selects either a 3.3V or 2.5V logic high level. An internal pull up resistor selects the 3.3V level as the default when the OUTLEV pin is left open. Grounding the OUTLEV pin selects the 2.5V logic high level. To ease user interface to subsequent digital circuitry, the CLC5957 has a data valid clock output (DAV). In order to match delays over IC processing variables, this digital output also uses the same output buffer as the data bits. The DAV clock output is simply a delayed version of the ENCODE input clock. Since the ADC output data change is slaved to the falling edge of the ENCODE clock, the rising DAV clock edge occurs near the center of the data valid window (or eye) regardless of the sampling frequency. Minimum Conversion Rate This ADC is optimized for high-speed operation. The internal bipolar track and hold circuits will cause droop errors at low sample rates. The point at which these errors cause a degradation of performance is listed on the specification page as the minimum conversion rate. If a lower sample rate is desired, the ADC should be clocked at a higher rate, and the output data should be decimated. For example, to obtain a 10MSPS output, the ADC should be clocked at 20MHZ, and every other output sample should be used. No significant
