CLC5957 12-bit, 70MSPS Broadband Monolithic A/D Converter
General Description
The CLC5957 is a monolithic 12-bit, 70MSPS analog-to-digital 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.

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 2.40 volts DC through a 500Ω resistor to a low impedance buffer. This enables a simple interface to a broadband RF transformer with a centertapped 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.

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 though a pair of 5KΩ resistors. The clock input buffer operates with any common-mode voltage between the supply and ground.

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 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.

Figure 7: CLC5957 Digital Outputs The logic high level is slaved to the internal 2.4 voltage reference. The OUTLEV control pin selects either a 3.3V or 2.5V logic high level. An internal pullup resistor selects the 3.3 volt 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.

Figure 6: TTL or 3V CMOS Level Clock Scheme Digital Outputs and Level Select Figure 7 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.

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
