GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9058 combines two independent high performance
8-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) on a single monolithic IC. Combined with an optional onboard voltage reference, the AD9058 provides a cost effective alternative for
systems requiring two or more ADCs.
Dynamic performance (SNR, ENOB) is optimized to provide
up to 50 MSPS conversion rates. The unique architecture
results in low input capacitance while maintaining high performance and low power (<0.5 watt/channel). Digital inputs
and outputs are TTL compatible.
Performance has been optimized for an analog input of 2 V
p-p (± 1 V; 0 V to +2 V). Using the onboard +2 V voltage
reference, the AD9058 can be set up for unipolar positive
operation (0 V to +2 V). This internal voltage reference can
drive both ADCs.
Commercial (0°C to +70°C) and military (–55°C to +125°C)
temperature range parts are available. Parts are supplied in
hermetic 48-lead DIP and 44-lead “J” lead packages.

NOTES
1
Absolute maximum ratings are limiting values to be applied individually, and beyond which the serviceability of the circuit may be impaired. Functional operability is
not necessarily implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for an extended period of time may affect device reliability.
2
For applications in which +VS may be applied before –VS, or +VS current is not limited to 500 mA, a reverse biased clamping diode should be inserted between
ground and –VS to prevent destructive latch up. See section entitled “Using the AD9058.”
To achieve guaranteed conversion rate, connect each data output to ground through a 2 k Ω pull-down resistor.

AD9058 Equivalent Digital Outputs
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 AD9058 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.

AD9058
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9058 contains two separate 8-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) on a single silicon die. The two devices can be
operated independently with separate analog inputs, voltage
references and clocks.
In a traditional flash converter, 256 input comparators are required
to make the parallel conversion for 8-bit resolution. This is in
marked contrast to the scheme used in the AD9058, as shown
in Figure 1.
Unlike traditional “flash,” or parallel, converters, each of the two
ADCs in the AD9058 utilizes a patented interpolating architecture to reduce circuit complexity, die size and input capacitance.
These advantages accrue because, compared to a conventional
flash design, only half the normal number of input comparator
cells is required to accomplish the conversion.
In this unit, each of the two independent ADCs uses only 128
7
(2
) comparators to make the conversion. The conversion for
the seven most significant bits (MSBs) is performed by the 128
comparators. The value of the least significant bit (LSB) is
determined by interpolation between adjacent comparators in
the decoding register. A proprietary decoding scheme processes
the comparator outputs and provides an 8-bit code to the output
register of each ADC; the scheme also minimizes error codes.
Analog input range is established by the voltages applied at the
voltage reference inputs (+V
REF
and –V
). The AD9058 can
REF
operate from 0 V to +2 V using the internal voltage reference,
The onboard voltage reference, +V
which has sufficient drive capability for both reference ladders.
It provides a +2 V reference that can drive both ADCs in the
AD9058 for unipolar positive operation (0 V to +2 V).
USING THE AD9058
Refer to Figure 2. Using the internal voltage reference connected to both ADCs as shown reduces the number of external
components required to create a complete data acquisition system. The input ranges of the ADCs are positive unipolar in this
configuration, ranging from 0 V to +2 V. Bipolar input signals
are buffered, amplified and offset into the proper input range of
the ADC using a good low distortion amplifier such as the
AD9617 or AD9618.
or anywhere between –1 V and +2 V using external references.
Input range is limited to 2 V p-p when using external references.
The internal resistor ladder divides the applied voltage reference
into 128 steps, with each step representing two 8-bit quantization levels.

Figure 3. AD9058 Using External Voltage References
The AD9058 offers considerable flexibility in selecting the analog input ranges of the ADCs; the two independent ADCs can
even have different input ranges if required. In Figure 3 above,
the AD9058 is shown configured for ±1 V operation.
The Reference Ladder Offset shown in the specifications table re-

quired at the analog input to achieve a 1111 1111 or 0000 0000
transition. This indicates the amount of adjustment range which
must be designed into the reference circuit for the AD9058.
The diode shown between ground and –V
is normally reverse
S
biased and is used to prevent latch-up. Its use is recommended
for applications in which power supply sequencing might allow
to be applied before –VS; or the +VS supply is not current
+V
S
limited. If the negative supply is allowed to float (the +5 V supply is powered up before the –5 V supply), substantial +5 V
supply current will attempt to flow through the substrate (V
S
supply contact) to ground. If this current is not limited to <500
mA, the part may be destroyed. The diode prevents this potentially destructive condition from occurring.
Timing
Refer to the AD9058 Timing Diagram. The AD9058 provides
latched data outputs with no pipeline delay. To conserve power,
the data outputs have relatively slow rise and fall times. When
designing system timing, it is important to observe (1) set-up
and hold times; and (2) the intervals when data is changing.
Figure 3 shows 2 kΩ pull-down resistors on each of the D
0–D7
output data bits. When operating at conversion rates higher than
40 MSPS, these resistors help equalize rise and fall times and
ease latching the output data into external latches. The 74ACT
logic family devices have short set-up and hold times and are the
recommended choices for speeds of 40 MSPS or more.
Layout
To insure optimum performance, a single low-impedance ground
plane is recommended. Analog and digital grounds should be
connected together and to the ground plane at the AD9058 device. Analog and digital power supplies should be bypassed to
ground through 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors as close to the unit as
possible.
An evaluation board (ADI part #AD9058/PCB) is available to
aid designers and provide a suggested layout. The use of sockets
may limit the dynamic performance of the part and is not recommended except for prototype or evaluation purposes.
For prototyping or evaluation, surface mount sockets are available
from Methode (part #213-0320602) for evaluating AD9058 surface mount packages. To evaluate the AD9058 in through-hole
PCB designs, use the AD9058JD/KD with individual pin sockets
(AMP part #6-330808-0). Alternatively, surface mount AD9058
units can be mounted in a through-hole socket (Circuit Assembly
Corporation, Irvine California part #CA-44SPC-T).
AD9058 APPLICATIONS
Combining two ADCs in a single package is an attractive alternative in a variety of systems when cost, reliability and space are
important considerations. Different systems emphasize particular specifications, depending on how the part is used.
In high density digital radio communications, a pair of high
speed ADCs are used to digitize the in-phase (I) and quadrature
(Q) components of a modulated signal. The signal presented to
each ADC in this type of system consists of message-dependent
amplitudes varying at the symbol rate, which is equal to the
sample rates of the converters.

with a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The signal-to-noise ratio

equals the ratio of the fundamental component of the signal
(rms amplitude) to the rms level of the noise. Noise is the sum
of all other spectral components, including harmonic distortion,
but excluding dc.

slew rate at the instant it is encoded, dynamic performance of
the ADC and the system is still critical. Transient response is the
time required for the AD9058 to achieve full accuracy when a
step function input is applied. Overvoltage recovery time is the interval required for the AD9058 to recover to full accuracy after
an overdriven analog input signal is reduced to its input range.
Time domain performance of the ADC is also extremely important in digital oscilloscopes. When a track (sample)-and-hold is
used ahead of the ADC, its operation becomes similar to that
described above for receivers.
The dynamic response to high-frequency inputs can be described
by the effective number of bits (ENOB). The effective number of bits
is calculated with a sine wave curve fit and is expressed as:
ENOB = N – LOG

where N is the resolution (number of bits) and measured error
