PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9057 is an 8-bit monolithic analog-to-digital converter
optimized for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use.
With a 40 MSPS, 60 MSPS, or 80 MSPS encode rates capability and full-power analog bandwidth of 120 MHz, the component
is ideal for applications requiring excellent dynamic performance.
To minimize system cost and power dissipation, the AD9057
includes an internal 2.5 V reference and a track-and-hold
circuit. The user must provide only a 5 V power supply and an
encode clock. No external reference or driver components are
required for many applications.
The AD9057’s encode input is TTL/CMOS compatible and the
8-bit digital outputs can be operated from 5 V or 3 V supplies. A
power-down function may be exercised to bring total consumption to < 10 mW. In power-down mode the digital outputs are
driven to a high impedance state.
Fabricated on an advanced BiCMOS process, the AD9057 is
available in a space saving 20-lead surface mount plastic package (20 SSOP) and is specified over the industrial (–40°C to
+85°C) temperature range.

AD9057
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9057 combines Analog Devices’ proprietary MagAmp
gray code conversion circuitry with flash converter technology
to provide a high performance, low cost ADC. The design
architecture ensures low power, high speed, and 8-bit accuracy.
A single-ended TTL/CMOS compatible ENCODE input controls
ADC timing for sampling the analog input pin and strobing the
digital outputs (D7–D0). An internal voltage reference (VREF
OUT) may be used to control ADC gain and offset or an external reference may be applied.
The analog input signal is buffered at the input of the ADC and
applied to a high speed track-and-hold. The T/H circuit holds the
analog input value during the conversion process (beginning with
the rising edge of the ENCODE command). The T/H’s output
signal passes through the gray code and flash conversion stages
to generate coarse and fine digital representations of the held
analog input level. Decode logic combines the multistage data
and aligns the 8-bit word for strobed outputs on the rising edge
of the ENCODE command. The MagAmp/Flash architecture of
the AD9057 results in three pipeline delays for the output data.
USING THE AD9057
Analog Inputs
The AD9057 provides a single-ended analog input impedance
of 150 kΩ. The input requires a dc bias current of 6 µA (typical)
centered near 2.5 V (±10%). The dc bias may be provided by
the user or may be derived from the ADC’s internal voltage
reference. Figure 2 shows a low cost dc bias implementation
allowing the user to capacitively couple ac signals directly into
the ADC without additional active circuitry. For best dynamic
performance, the VREF OUT pin should be decoupled to
ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor (to minimize modulation of
the reference voltage) and the bias resistor should be approximately 1 kΩ. A 1 kΩ bias resistor (± 20%) is included within
the AD9057 and may be used to reduce application board size
and complexity.

Voltage Reference
A stable and accurate 2.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9057 (VREF OUT). The reference output may be used to
set the ADC gain/offset by connecting VREF OUT to VREF IN.
The internal reference is capable of providing 300 µA of drive
current (for dc biasing the analog input or other user circuitry).
Some applications may require greater accuracy, improved
temperature performance, or gain adjustments that cannot be
obtained using the internal reference. An external voltage may
be applied to the VREF IN with VREF OUT disconnected for
gain adjustment of up to ±10% (the VREF IN pin is internally
tied directly to the ADC circuitry). ADC gain and offset will
vary simultaneously with external reference adjustment with a
1:1 ratio (a 2% or 50 mV adjustment to the 2.5 V reference
varies ADC gain by 2% and ADC input range center offset by
50 mV). Theoretical input voltage range versus reference input
voltage may be calculated from the following equations:

Digital Logic (5 V/3 V Systems)
The digital inputs and outputs of the AD9057 can easily be
configured to interface directly with 3 V or 5 V logic systems.
The ENCODE and power-down (PWRDN) inputs are CMOS
stages with TTL thresholds of 1.5 V, making the inputs compatible with TTL, 5 V CMOS, and 3 V CMOS logic families. As
with all high-speed data converters, the encode signal should be
clean and jitter free to prevent degradation of ADC dynamic
performance.
The AD9057’s digital outputs will also interface directly with
5 V or 3 V CMOS logic systems. The voltage supply pin (V
for these CMOS stages is isolated from the analog V

)
supply. By varying the voltage on this supply pin the digital
output HIGH level will change for 5 V or 3 V systems. Optimum
SNR is obtained running the outputs at 3 V. Care should be
taken to isolate the V
supply voltage from the 5 V analog
DD
supply to minimize digital noise coupling into the ADC.

AD9057
The AD9057 provides high impedance digital output operation
when the ADC is driven into power-down mode (PWRDN, logic
HIGH). A 200 ns (minimum) power-down time should be
provided before a high impedance characteristic is required at
the outputs. A 200 ns power-up period should be provided to
ensure accurate ADC output data after reactivation (valid output data is available three clock cycles after the 200 ns delay).
Timing
The AD9057 is guaranteed to operate with conversion rates from
5 MSPS to 80 MSPS depending on grade. The ADC is designed
to operate with an encode duty cycle of 50%, but performance
is insensitive to moderate variations. Pulsewidth variations of
up to ±10% (allowing the encode signal to meet the minimum/
maximum HIGH/LOW specifications) will cause no degradation in ADC performance (see Figure 1 timing diagram).
Power Dissipation
The power dissipation of the AD9057 is specified to reflect a
typical application setup under the following conditions: analog
input is –0.5 dBFS at 10.3 MHz, V
is 5 V, VDD is 3 V, and digital
D
outputs are loaded with 7 pF typical (10 pF maximum). The
actual dissipation will vary as these conditions are modified in
user applications. TPC 7 shows typical power consumption for the
AD9057 versus ADC encode frequency and V
supply voltage.
DD
A power-down function allows users to reduce power dissipation
when ADC data is not required. A TTL/CMOS HIGH signal
(PWRDN) shuts down portions of the ADC and brings total
power dissipation to less than 10 mW. The internal bandgap
voltage reference remains active during power-down mode to
minimize ADC reactivation time. If the power-down function is
not desired, Pin 1 should be tied to ground.
APPLICATIONS
The wide analog bandwidth of the AD9057 makes it attractive for
a variety of high-performance receiver and encoder applications.
Figure 4 shows two ADCs in a typical low cost I and Q demodulator implementation for cable, satellite, or wireless LAN modem
receivers. The excellent dynamic performance of the ADC at
higher analog input frequencies and encode rates empowers
users to employ direct IF sampling techniques (refer to TPC 2
spectral plot). IF sampling eliminates or simplifies analog mixer
and filter stages to reduce total system cost and power.

Evaluation Board
The AD9057/PCB evaluation board provides an easy-to-use
analog/digital interface for the 8-bit, 60 MSPS ADC. The board
includes typical hardware configurations for a variety of highspeed digitization evaluations. On-board components include
the AD9057 (in the 20-lead SSOP package), an optional analog
input buffer amplifier, a digital output latch, board timing drivers, an analog reconstruction digital-to-analog converter, and
configurable jumpers for ac coupling, dc coupling, and powerdown function testing. The board is configured at shipment for
dc coupling using the AD9057’s internal voltage reference.
For dc-coupled analog input applications, amplifier U2 is configured to operate as a unity gain inverter with adjustable offset
for the analog input signal. For full-scale ADC drive, the analog
input signal should be 1 V p-p into 50 Ω (R1) referenced to
ground (0 V). The amplifier offsets the analog signal by +VREF
(2.5 V typical) to center the voltage for proper ADC input drive.
For dc-coupled operation, connect E1 to E2 (analog input to
R2) and E11 to E12 (amplifier output to analog input of AD9057)
using the board jumper connectors. DC offset of the analog
input signal can be modified by adjusting potentiometer R10.
For ac-coupled analog input applications, amplifier U2 is
removed from the analog signal path. The analog signal is
coupled into the input of the AD9057 through capacitor C2.
The ADC pulls analog input bias current from the VREF IN
voltage through the 1 kΩ resistor internal to the AD9057 (BIAS
OUT). The analog input signal to the board should be 1 V p-p
into 50 Ω (R1) for full-scale ADC drive. For ac-coupled operation,
connect E1 to E3 (analog input A to C2 feedthrough capacitor)
and E10 to E12 (C2 to the analog input and internal bias resistor) using the board jumper connectors.
The on-board reference voltage may be used to drive the ADC
or an external reference may be applied. To use the internal
voltage reference, connect E6 to E5 (VREF OUT to VREF IN).
To apply an external voltage reference, connect E4 to E5
(external reference from the REF banana jack to VREF IN).
The external voltage reference should be 2.5 V ± 10%.

The power-down function of the AD9057 can be exercised
through a board jumper connection. Connect E7 to E9 (5 V to
PWRDN) for power-down operation. For normal operation,
connect E8 to E9 (ground to PWRDN).
The encode signal source should be TTL/CMOS compatible
and capable of driving a 50 Ω termination (R7). The digital
outputs of the AD9057 are buffered through latches on the
evaluation board (U3) and are available for the user at connector Pins 30–37. Latch timing is derived from the ADC ENCODE

5 V supply DAC. The reconstruction signal facilitates quick
system troubleshooting or confirmation of ADC functionality
without requiring external digital memory, timing, or display

but customers should note that test results will be based on the
combined performance of the ADC and DAC (the best ADC
performance will be recognized by evaluating the digital outputs
of the ADC directly).
