The AD10465 is a full channel ADC solution with on-module
signal conditioning for improved dynamic performance and fully
matched channel-to-channel performance. The module includes
two wide dynamic range AD6644 ADCs. Each AD6644 has a dccoupled amplifier front end including an AD8037 low distortion,
high bandwidth amplifier, providing a high input impedance
and gain, and driving the AD8138 single-to-differential amplifier. The AD6644s have on-chip track-and-hold circuitry and
AD10465
utilize an innovative multipass architecture to achieve 14-bit,
65 MSPS performance. The AD10465 uses innovative highdensity circuit design and laser-trimmed thin-film resistor networks
to achieve exceptional matching and performance, while still
maintaining excellent isolation and providing for significant
board area savings.
The AD10465 operates with ±5.0 V for the analog signal conditioning with a separate 5.0 V supply for the analog-to-digital
conversion and 3.3 V digital supply for the output stage. Each
channel is completely independent, allowing operation with
independent encode and analog inputs. The AD10465 also
offers the user a choice of analog input signal ranges to further minimize additional external signal conditioning, while
still remaining general-purpose.
The AD10465 is packaged in a 68-lead Ceramic Gull Wing
package, footprint-compatible with the earlier generation AD10242
(12-bit, 40 MSPS) and AD10265 (12-bit, 65 MSPS). Manufacturing is done on Analog Devices, Inc. Mil-38534 Qualified
Manufacturers Line (QML) and components are available up to
Class-H (–40°C to +85°C). The AD6644 internal components
are manufactured on Analog Devices, Inc. high-speed complementary bipolar process (XFCB).

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD10465 is a high dynamic range 14-bit, 65 MHz pipeline
delay (three pipelines) analog-to-digital converter. The custom
analog input section maintains the same input ranges (1 V p-p,
2 V p-p, and 4 V p-p) and input impedance (100 Ω, 200 Ω, and
400 Ω) as the AD10242.
The AD10465 employs four monolithic ADI components per
channel (AD8037, AD8138, AD8031, and AD6644), along with
multiple passive resistor networks and decoupling capacitors to
fully integrate a complete 14-bit analog-to-digital converter.
The input signal is passed through a precision laser-trimmed
resistor divider allowing the user to externally select operation
with a full-scale signal of ±0.5 V, ±1.0 V or ±2.0 V by choosing
the proper input terminal for the application.
The AD10465 analog input includes an AD8037 amplifier
featuring an innovative architecture that maximizes the dynamic
range capability on the amplifiers inputs and outputs. The AD8037
amplifier provides a high input impedance and gain for driving
the AD8138 in a single-ended to differential amplifier configuration. The AD8138 has a –3 dB bandwidth at 300 MHz and
delivers a differential signal with the lowest harmonic distortion
available in a differential amplifier. The AD8138 differential
outputs help balance the differential inputs to the AD6644,
maximizing the performance of the ADC.
The AD8031 provides the buffer for the internal reference of
the AD6644. The internal reference voltage of the AD6644 is
designed to track the offsets and drifts of the ADC and is used
to ensure matching over an extended temperature range of
operation. The reference voltage is connected to the output
common mode input on the AD8138. The AD6644 reference
voltage sets the output common-mode on the AD8138 at 2.4 V,
which is the midsupply level for the AD6644.
The AD6644 has complementary analog input pins, AIN and AIN.
Each analog input is centered at 2.4 V and should swing ±0.55 V
around this reference. Since AIN and AIN are 180 degrees out
of phase, the differential analog input signal is 2.2 V peak-to-peak.
Both analog inputs are buffered prior to the first track-and-hold,

TH1. The high state of the ENCODE pulse places TH1 in hold
mode. The held value of TH1 is applied to the input of a 5-bit
coarse ADC1. The digital output of ADC1 drives 14 bits of
precision which is achieved through laser trimming. The output
of DAC1 is subtracted from the delayed analog signal at the
input of TH3 to generate a first residue signal. TH2 provides an
analog pipeline delay to compensate for the digital delay of ADC1.
The first residue signal is applied to a second conversion stage
consisting of a 5-bit ADC2, 5-bit DAC2, and pipeline TH4.
The second DAC requires 10 bits of precision which is met by
the process with no trim. The input to TH5 is a second residue
signal generated by subtracting the quantized output of DAC2
from the first residue signal held by TH4. TH5 drives a final
6-bit ADC3.
The digital outputs from ADC1, ADC2, and ADC3 are added
together and corrected in the digital error correction logic to
generate the final output data. The result is a 14-bit parallel
digital CMOS-compatible word, coded as two’s complement.
USING THE FLEXIBLE INPUT
The AD10465 has been designed with the user’s ease of operation in mind. Multiple input configurations have been included
on board to allow the user a choice of input signal levels and
input impedance. While the standard inputs are ±0.5 V, ±1.0 V
and ±2.0 V, the user can select the input impedance of the

APPLYING THE AD10465
Encoding the AD10465
The AD10465 encode signal must be a high quality, extremely
low phase noise source, to prevent degradation of performance.
Maintaining 14-bit accuracy places a premium on encode clock
phase noise. SNR performance can easily degrade by 3 dB to
4 dB with 32 MHz input signals when using a high-jitter clock
source. See Analog Devices’ Application Note AN-501, “Aperture Uncertainty and ADC System Performance” for complete
details. For optimum performance, the AD10465 must be clocked
differentially. The encode signal is usually ac-coupled into the
ENCODE and ENCODE pins via a transformer or capacitors.
These pins are biased internally and require no additional bias.
Shown below is one preferred method for clocking the AD10465.
The clock source (low jitter) is converted from single-ended to
differential using an RF transformer. The back-to-back Schottky
diodes across the transformer secondary limit clock excursions
into the AD10465 to approximately 0.8 V p-p differential. This
helps prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from feeding
through to the other portions of the AD10465, and limits the
noise presented to the ENCODE inputs. A crystal clock oscillator
can also be used to drive the RF transformer if an appropriate
limiting resistor (typically 100 Ω) is placed in the series with
the primary.
If a low jitter ECL/PECL clock is available, another option is to
ac-couple a differential ECL/PECL signal to the encode input
pins as shown below. A device that offers excellent jitter performance is the MC100LVEL16 (or same family) from Motorola.

Jitter Considerations
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for an ADC can be predicted.
When normalized to ADC codes, Equation 1 accurately predicts
the SNR based on three terms. These are jitter, average DNL
error, and thermal noise. Each of these terms contributes to the
noise within the converter.

For a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter like the AD10465, aperture jitter can greatly affect the SNR performance as the analog
frequency is increased. The chart below shows a family of curves
that demonstrates the expected SNR performance of the AD10465
as jitter increases. The chart is derived from the above equation.

Power Supplies
Care should be taken when selecting a power source. Linear
supplies are strongly recommended. Switching supplies tend
to have radiated components that may be “received” by the
AD10465. Each of the power supply pins should be decoupled as
closely to the package as possible using 0.1 µF chip capacitors.
The AD10465 has separate digital and analog power supply
pins. The analog supplies are denoted AVCC and the digital
supply pins are denoted DV
. AVCC and DVCC should be
CC
separate power supplies. This is because the fast digital output
swings can couple switching current back into the analog supplies. Note that AV
AD10465 is specified for DV
must be held within 5% of 5 V. The
CC
= 3.3 V as this is a common
CC
supply for digital ASICs.
Output Loading
Care must be taken when designing the data receivers for the
AD10465. The digital outputs drive an internal series resistor
(e.g., 100 Ω) followed by a gate like 75LCX574. To minimize
capacitive loading, there should only be one gate on each output
pin. An example of this is shown in the evaluation board schematic shown in Figure 10. The digital outputs of the AD10465
have a constant output slew rate of 1 V/ns. A typical CMOS
gate combined with a PCB trace will have a load of approximately 10 pF. Therefore, as each bit switches, 10 mA (10 pF ×
1 V, ÷ 1 ns) of dynamic current per bit will flow in or out of the
device. A full-scale transition can cause up to 140 mA (14 bits ×
10 mA/bit) of current flow through the output stages. These
switching currents are confined between ground and the DV
CC
pin. Standard TTL gates should be avoided since they can
appreciably add to the dynamic switching currents of the AD10465.
It should also be noted that extra capacitive loading will increase
output timing and invalidate timing specifications. Digital output timing is guaranteed with 10 pF loads.
LAYOUT INFORMATION
The schematic of the evaluation board (Figure 10) represents a
typical implementation of the AD10465. The pinout of the
AD10465 is very straightforward and facilitates ease of use and
the implementation of high frequency/high resolution design
practices. It is recommended that high quality ceramic chip
capacitors be used to decouple each supply pin to ground directly
at the device. All capacitors can be standard high quality ceramic
chip capacitors.
Care should be taken when placing the digital output runs.
Because the digital outputs have such a high slew rate, the
capacitive loading on the digital outputs should be minimized.
Circuit traces for the digital outputs should be kept short and
connect directly to the receiving gate. Internal circuitry buffers
the outputs of the ADC through a resistor network to eliminate
the need to externally isolate the device from the receiving gate.
EVALUATION BOARD
The AD10465 evaluation board (Figure 9) is designed to provide optimal performance for evaluation of the AD10465 analogto-digital converter. The board encompasses everything needed
to insure the highest level of performance for evaluating the
AD10465. The board requires an analog input signal, encode
clock and power supply inputs. The clock is buffered on-board
to provide clocks for the latches. The digital outputs and clocks
are available at the standard 40-pin connectors J1 and J2.
Power to the analog supply pins is connected via banana jacks. The
analog supply powers the associated components and the analog
section of the AD10465. The digital outputs of the AD10465
are powered via banana jacks with 3.3 V. Contact the factory if
additional layout or applications assistance is required.
