GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9051 is a complete 10-bit monolithic sampling analogto-digital converter (ADC) with an onboard track-and-hold and
reference. The unit is designed for low cost, high performance
applications and requires only 5 V and an encode clock to
achieve 60 MSPS sample rates with 10-bit resolution.
The encode clock is TTL compatible and the digital outputs are
CMOS; both can operate with 5 V/3 V logic. The two-step
architecture used in the AD9051 is optimized to provide the
best dynamic performance available while maintaining low
power consumption.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD9051 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Digital Output Power Supply (Only Used by Digital Outputs)
The AD9051 employs a subranging architecture with digital
error correction. This combination of design techniques ensures
true 10-bit accuracy at the digital outputs of the converter.
At the input, the analog signal is buffered by a high speed
differential buffer and applied to a track-and-hold (T/H) that
holds the analog value present when the unit is strobed with
an ENCODE command. The conversion process begins on the
rising edge of this pulse. The two stage architecture completes a
coarse and then a fine conversion of the T/H output signal.
Error correction and decode logic correct and align data from
the two conversions and present the result as a 10-bit parallel
digital word. Output data are strobed on the rising edge of the
ENCODE command. The subranging architecture results in
five pipeline delays for the output data. Refer to the AD9051
Timing Diagram.
USING THE AD9051
3 V System
The digital input and outputs of the AD9051 can be easily
configured to directly interface to 3 V logic systems. The encode
input (Pin 13) is TTL compatible with a logic threshold of
1.5 V. This input is actually a CMOS stage (refer to Equivalent
Encode Input Stage) with a TTL threshold, allowing operation
with TTL, CMOS and 3 V CMOS logic families. Using 3 V
CMOS logic allows the user to drive the encode directly without
the need to translate to 5 V. This saves the user power and
board space. As with all high speed data converters, the clock
signal must be clean and jitter free to prevent the degradation of
dynamic performance.
The AD9051 outputs can also directly interface to 3 V logic
systems. The digital outputs are standard CMOS stages (refer
to AD9051 Output Stage) with isolated supply pins (Pins 20,
22 V
). By varying the voltage on the VDD pins, the digital
DD
output levels vary respectively. By connecting Pins 20 and 22 to
the 3 V logic supply, the AD9051 will supply 3 V output
levels. Care should be taken to filter and isolate the output
supply of the AD9051 as noise could be coupled into the
ADC, limiting performance.
Analog Input
The analog input of the AD9051 is a differential input buffer
(refer to AD9051 Equivalent Analog Input). The differential
inputs are internally biased at 2.5 V, obviating the need for
external biasing. Excellent performance is achieved whether the
analog inputs are driven single-endedly or differentially (for
best dynamic performance, impedances at AIN and AINB
should match).
Figure 3 shows typical connections for the analog inputs when
using the AD9051 in a dc-coupled system with single-ended
signals. All components are powered from a single 5 V supply.
The AD820 is used to offset the ground referenced input signal
to the level required by the AD9051.
AC coupling of the analog inputs of the AD9051 is easily
accomplished. Figure 4 shows capacitive coupling of a singleended signal while Figure 5 shows transformer coupling
differentially into the AD9051.

The AD830 provides a unique method of providing dc level
shift for the analog input. Using the AD830 allows a great deal
of flexibility for adjusting offset and gain. Figure 6 shows the
AD830 configured to drive the AD9051. The offset is provided
by the internal biasing of the AD9051 differential input (Pin 9).

Overdrive of the Analog Input
Special care was taken in the design of the analog input section
of the AD9051 to prevent damage and corruption of data when
the input is overdriven. The nominal input range is 1.875 V to
3.125 V (1.25 V p-p centered at 2.5 V). Out-of-range comparators detect when the analog input signal is out of this range and
the input buffer is clamped. The digital outputs are locked at
their maximum or minimum value (i.e., all “0” or all “1”). This
precludes the digital outputs changing to an invalid value when
the analog input is out of range.
The input is protected to one volt outside the power supply
rails. For nominal power (5 V and ground), the analog input
will not be damaged with signals from +5.5 V to –0.5 V.
Timing
The performance of the AD9051 is very insensitive to the duty
cycle of the clock. Pulsewidth variations of as much as ±15% for
encode rates of 40 MSPS and ±10% for encode rates of 60 MSPS
will cause no degradation in performance. (See Figure 17, SNR vs.
Duty Cycle.)
The AD9051 provides latched data outputs, with five pipeline
delays. Data outputs are available one propagation delay (t
after the rising edge of the encode command (refer to Figure 1,
Timing Diagram). The length of the output data lines and
loads placed on them should be minimized to reduce transients within the AD9051; these transients can detract from
the converter’s dynamic performance.
Power Dissipation
The power dissipation specification in the parameter table is
measured under the following conditions: encode is 60 MSPS,
analog input is –FS.
As shown in Figure 3, the actual power dissipation varies based
on these conditions. For instance, reducing the clock rate will
reduce power as expected for CMOS-type devices. The loading
determines the power dissipated in the output stages.
The analog input frequency and amplitude in conjunction with
the clock rate determine the switching rate of the output data
bits. Power dissipation increases as more data bits switch at
faster rates. For instance, if the input is a dc signal that is out of
range, no output bits will switch. This minimizes power in the
output stages, but is not realistic from a usage standpoint.
The dissipation in the output stages can be minimized by interfacing the outputs to 3 V logic (refer to Using the AD9051, 3 V
System). The lower output swings minimize power consumption
as follows: (1/2 C

A stable and accurate 2.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9051 (Pin 3, VREFOUT). In normal operation the internal
reference is used by strapping together Pins 3 and 4 of the
AD9051. The internal reference has 500 µA of extra drive cur-
rent that can be used for other circuits.
PD
)
Some applications may require greater accuracy, improved
temperature performance, or adjustment of the gain of the
AD9051, which cannot be obtained by using the internal reference. For these applications, an external 2.5 V reference can be
used to connect to Pin 4 of the AD9051. The VREFIN requires
2 µA of drive current.
The input range can be adjusted by varying the reference
voltage applied to the AD9051. No appreciable degradation
in performance occurs when the reference is adjusted ±5%.
The full-scale range of the ADC tracks reference voltage
changes linearly.
