GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9411 is a 10-bit monolithic sampling analog-to-digital
converter optimized for high performance, low power, and ease
of use. The product operates up to a 200 MSPS conversion rate
and is optimized for outstanding dynamic performance in
wideband carrier and broadband systems. All necessary
functions, including track-and-hold (T/H) and reference, are
included on the chip to provide a complete conversion solution.
The ADC requires a 3.3 V power supply and a differential
sample clock for full performance operation. The digital outputs
are LVDS compatible and support both twos complement and
offset binary format. A data clock output is available to ease
data capture.
Fabricated on an advanced BiCMOS process, the AD9411 is
available in a 100-lead surface-mount plastic package (e-PAD
TQFP-100) specified over the industrial temperature range
(–40°C to +85°C).

APPLICATION NOTES
The AD9411 architecture is optimized for high speed and ease
of use. The analog inputs drive an integrated high bandwidth
track-and-hold circuit that samples the signal prior to quantization by the 10-bit core. For ease of use, the part includes an onboard reference and input logic that accepts TTL, CMOS, or
LVPECL levels. The digital output’s logic levels are LVDS
(ANSI-644) compatible.
CLOCK INPUT
Any high speed A/D converter is extremely sensitive to the
quality of the sampling clock provided by the user. A track-andhold circuit is essentially a mixer, and any noise, distortion, or
timing jitter on the clock is combined with the desired signal at
the A/D output. For this reason, considerable care has been
taken in the design of the clock inputs of the AD9411, and the
user is advised to give careful thought to the clock source.
The AD9411 has an internal clock duty cycle stabilization
circuit that locks to the rising edge of CLK+ and optimizes
timing internally. This allows a wide range of input duty cycles
at the input without degrading performance. Jitter in the rising
edge of the input is still of paramount concern and is not
reduced by the internal stabilization circuit. The duty cycle
control loop does not function for clock rates less than 30 MHz
nominally. The time constant associated with the loop should
be considered in applications where the clock rate changes
dynamically, requiring a wait time of 1.5 µs to 5 µs after a
dynamic clock frequency increase before valid data is available.
This circuit is always on and cannot be disabled by the user.

ANALOG INPUT
The analog input to the AD9411 is a differential buffer. For best
dynamic performance, impedances at VIN+ and VIN– should
match. The analog input is optimized to provide superior wideband performance and requires that the analog inputs be driven
differentially. SNR and SINAD performance degrades significantly if the analog input is driven with a single-ended signal.
A wideband transformer, such as Mini-Circuits’ ADT1-1WT,
can provide the differential analog inputs for applications that
require a single-ended-to-differential conversion. Both analog
inputs are self-biased by an on-chip resistor divider to a
nominal 2.8 V (refer to the Equivalent Circuits section). Note
that the input common-mode can be overdriven by
approximately +/−150 mV around the self-bias point, as shown
in Figure 42.
The clock inputs are internally biased to 1.5 V (nominal) and
support either differential or single-ended signals. For best
dynamic performance, a differential signal is recommended. An
MC100LVEL16 performs well in the circuit to drive the clock
inputs, as illustrated in Figure 39. Note that for this low voltage
PECL device, the ac coupling is optional.

Special care was taken in the design of the analog input section
of the AD9411 to prevent damage and corruption of data when
the input is overdriven. The nominal differential input range is
approximately 1.5 V p-p ~ (768 mV × 2). Note that the best
performance is achieved with S5 = 0 (full-scale = 1.5). See

LVDS OU TPUTS
The off-chip drivers provide LVDS compatible output levels. A
3.74 kΩ RSET resistor placed at Pin 7 (LVDSBIAS) to ground
sets the LVDS output current. The RSET resistor current is
ratioed on-chip, setting the output current at each output equal
to a nominal 3.5 mA (11 × IRSET). A 100 Ω differential termination resistor placed at the LVDS receiver inputs results in a
nominal 350 mV swing at the receiver. LVDS mode facilitates
interfacing with LVDS receivers in custom ASICs and FPGAs
that have LVDS capability for superior switching performance
in noisy environments. Single point-to-point network topologies
are recommended with a 100 Ω termination resistor as close to
the receiver as possible. It is recommended to keep the trace
lengths < 4 inches and to keep differential output trace lengths
as equal as possible.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE
A stable and accurate 1.23 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9411 (VREF). The analog input full-scale range is linearly
proportional to the voltage at VREF. Note that an external
reference can be used by connecting the SENSE pin to VDD
(disabling internal reference) and driving VREF with the
external reference source. No appreciable degradation in
performance occurs when VREF is adjusted ±5%. A 0.1 µF
capacitor to ground is recommended at the VREF pin in
internal and external reference applications. Float the SENSE
pin for internal reference operation.

NOISE POWER RATIO TESTING (NPR)
NPR is a test that is commonly used to characterize the return
path of cable systems where the signals are typically QAM signals with a “noise-like” frequency spectrum. NPR performance
of the AD9411 was characterized in the lab yielding an effective
NPR = 51.2 dB at an analog input of 18 MHz. This agrees with a
theoretical maximum NPR of 51.6 dB for a 10-bit ADC at 13 dB
backoff. The rms noise power of the signal inside the notch is
compared with the rms noise level outside the notch using an
FFT. This test requires sufficiently long record lengths to
guarantee a large number of samples inside the notch. A highorder band-stop filter that provides the required notch depth
for testing is also needed.

EVALUATION BOARD
The AD9411 evaluation board offers an easy way to test the
AD9411 in LVDS mode. It requires a clock source, an analog
input signal, and a 3.3 V power supply. The clock source is
buffered on the board to provide the clocks for the ADC,
latches, and a data-ready signal. The digital outputs and output
clocks are available at a 40-pin connector, P23. The board has
several different modes of operation and is shipped in the
following configurations:
• Offset binary
• Internal voltage reference
• Full-scale adjust = low
GAIN
Full scale is set at E17–E19, E17–E18 sets S5 low, full scale =
1.5 V differential; E17–E19 sets S5 high, full scale = 0.75 V
differential. Best performance is obtained at 1.5 V full scale.
CLOCK
The clock input is terminated to ground through 50 Ω resistor
at SMB connector J5. The input is ac-coupled to a high speed
differential receiver (LVEL16) that provides the required low
jitter, fast edge rates needed for optimum performance. J5 input
should be > 0.5 V p-p. Power to the LVEL16 is set at Jumper
E47. E47–E45 powers the buffer from AVDD; E47–E46 powers
the buffer from VCLK/V_XTAL.
POWER CONNECTOR
Power is supplied to the board via a detachable 12-lead power
strip (three 4-pin blocks).

ANALOG INPUTS
The evaluation board accepts a 1.3 V p-p analog input signal
centered at ground at SMB connector J4. This signal is
terminated to ground through 50 Ω
alternatively terminated at the T1 transformer secondary by
R13 and R14. T1 is a wideband RF transformer that provides a
single-ended-to-differential conversion, allowing the ADC to be
driven differentially, which minimizes even-order harmonics.
An optional second transformer, T2, can be placed following T1
if desired. This provides some performance advantage (~1 dB to
2 dB) for high analog input frequencies (>100 MHz). If T2 is
placed, cut the two shorting traces at the pads. The analog
signal can be low-pass filtered by R41, C12 and R42, C13 at the
ADC input. The footprint for transformer T2 can be modified
to accept a wideband differential amplifier (AD8351) for low
frequency applications where gain is required. See the PCB
schematic for more information.
by R16. The input can be
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The AD9411 has an internal 1.23 V voltage reference. The ADC
uses the internal reference as the default when Jumpers E24–E27
and E25–E26 are left open. The full scale can be increased by
placing an optional resistor (R3). The required value varies with
the process and needs to be tuned for the specific application.
Full scale can similarly be reduced by placing R4; tuning is
required here as well. An external reference can be used by
shorting the SENSE pin to 3.3 V (place Jumper E26–E25).
Jumper E27–E24 connects the ADC VREF pin to the
EXT_VREF pin at the power connector.
DATA FORMAT SELECT
Data format select (DFS) sets the output data format of the
ADC. Setting DFS (E1–E2) low sets the output format to be
offset binary; setting DFS high (E1–E3) sets the output to twos
complement.
DATA OUTPUTS
The ADC LVDS digital outputs are routed directly to the
connector at the card edge. Resistor pads placed at the output
connector allow for termination if the connector receiving logic
lack the differential termination for the data bits and DCO.
Each output trace pair should be terminated differentially at
the far end of the line with a single 100 ohm resistor.
CLOCK XTAL
An optional XTAL oscillator can be placed on the board to
serve as a clock source for the PCB. Power to the XTAL is
through the VCLK/VXTAL pin at the power connector. If an
oscillator is used, ensure proper termination for best results.
The board was tested with a Valpey Fisher VF561 and a Vectron
JN00158-163.84.

NOTES
1. CENTER FIGURES ARE TYPICAL UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
2. THE AD9411 HAS A CONDUCTIVE HEAT SLUG TO HELP DISSIPATE HEAT AND ENSURE RELIABLE OPERATION OF
THE DEVICE OVER THE FULL INDUSTRIAL TEMPERATURE RANGE. THE SLUG IS EXPOSED ON THE BOTTOM OF
THE PACKAGE AND ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO CHIP GROUND. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT NO PCB SIGNAL
TRACES OR VIAS BE LOCATED UNDER THE PACKAGE THAT COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE CONDUCTIVE
SLUG. ATTACHING THE SLUG TO A GROUND PLANE WILL REDUCE THE JUNCTION TEMPERATURE OF THE
DEVICE WHICH MAY BE BENEFICIAL IN HIGH TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTS.
