PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9059 is a dual 8-bit monolithic analog-to-digital converter optimized for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of
use. With a 60 MSPS encode rate capability and full-power
analog bandwidth of 120 MHz typical, the component is ideal
for applications requiring multiple ADCs with excellent dynamic performance.
To minimize system cost and power dissipation, the AD9059
includes an internal +2.5 V reference and dual track-and-hold
circuits. The ADC requires only a +5 V power supply and an
encode clock. No external reference or driver components are
required for many applications.
The AD9059’s single encode input is TTL/CMOS compatible
and simultaneously controls both internal ADC channels. The
parallel 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 < 12 mW when ADC data is not required
for lengthy periods of time. In power-down mode the digital
outputs are driven to a high impedance state.
Fabricated on an advanced BiCMOS process, the AD9059
is available in a space saving 28-lead surface mount plastic
package (28 SSOP) and is specified over the industrial
(–40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
Customers desiring single channel digitization may consider the
AD9057, a single 8-bit, 60 MSPS monolithic based on the
AD9059 ADC core. The AD9057 is available in a 20-lead surface mount plastic package (20 SSOP) and is specified over the
industrial temperature range.

AD9059
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9059 combines Analog Devices’ proprietary MagAmp
gray code conversion circuitry with flash converter technology
to provide dual high performance 8-bit ADCs in a single low
cost monolithic device. The design architecture ensures low
power, high speed, and 8-bit accuracy.
The AD9059 provides two linked ADC channels that are
clocked from a single ENCODE input (refer to block diagram).
The two ADC channels simultaneously sample the analog inputs (AINA and AINB) and provide non-interleaved parallel
digital outputs (D0A–D7A and D0B–D7B). The voltage reference (VREF) is internally connected to both ADCs so channel
gains and offsets will track if external reference control is
desired.
The analog input signal is buffered at the input of each ADC
channel 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 AD9059 results in three
pipeline delays for the output data.
USING THE AD9059
Analog Inputs
The AD9059 provides independent single-ended high impedance (150 kΩ) analog inputs for the dual ADCs. Each 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 14
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 pin should be decoupled to ground with a 0.1 µF capaci-
tor (to minimize modulation of the reference voltage), and the
bias resistor should approximately 1 kΩ.
Figure 15 shows typical connections for high performance dc biasing using the ADC’s internal voltage reference. All components may be powered from a single +5 V supply (example
analog input signals are referenced to ground).
Voltage Reference
A stable and accurate +2.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9059 (VREF). The reference output is used to set the ADC
gain/offset and can provide dc bias for the analog input signals.
The internal reference is tied to the ADC circuitry through a
800 Ω internal impedance and is capable of providing 300 µA
external drive current (for dc biasing the analog input or other
user circuitry).
Some applications may require greater accuracy, improved temperature performance, or gain adjustments which cannot be obtained using the internal reference. An external voltage may be
applied to the VREF pin to overdrive the internal voltage reference for gain adjustment of up to ±10% (the VREF 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 offset by 50 mV).
Theoretical input voltage range versus reference input voltage
may be calculated from the following equations:

(p-p) = VREF/2.5

The external reference should have a 1 mA minimum sink/
source current capability to ensure complete overdrive of the
internal voltage reference.
Digital Logic (+5 V/+3 V Systems)
The digital inputs and outputs of the AD9059 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 AD9059’s digital outputs will also interface directly with
+5 V or +3 V CMOS logic systems. The voltage supply pins
(V
) for these CMOS stages are isolated from the analog V
DD
D
voltage supply. By varying the voltage on these supply pins the
digital output HIGH levels will change for +5 V or +3 V systems. The V
die. Care should be taken to isolate the V
pins are internally connected on the AD9059
DD
supply voltages
DD
from the +5 V analog supply to minimize noise coupling into
the ADCs.
The AD9059 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.
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 AD9059 is guaranteed to operate with conversion rates
from 5 MSPS to 60 MSPS. At 60 MSPS the ADC is designed
to operate with an encode duty cycle of 50%, but performance
is insensitive to moderate variations. Pulse width variations of
up to ±10% (allowing the encode signal to meet the minimum/
maximum HIGH/LOW specifications) will cause no degradation in ADC performance (refer to Figure 1 Timing Diagram).
Due to the linked ENCODE architecture of the ADCs, the
AD9059 cannot be operated in a two-channel ping-pong mode.

Power Dissipation
The power dissipation of the AD9059 is specified to reflect a
typical application setup under the following conditions: encode is 60 MSPS, analog input is –0.5 dBFS at 10.3 MHz, V
D
is +5 V, VDD is +3 V, and digital outputs are loaded with 7 pF
typical (10 pF maximum). The actual dissipation will vary as
these conditions are modified in user applications. Figure 8

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 dual 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 3 should be tied to ground. Both
ADC channels are controlled simultaneously by the PWRDN
pin; they cannot be shut down or turned on independently.
Applications
The wide analog bandwidth of the AD9059 makes it attractive
for a variety of high performance receiver and encoder applications. Figure 16 shows the dual ADC in a typical low cost I & 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 Figure 3, Spectral Plot). IF sampling eliminates or simplifies
analog mixer and filter stages to reduce total system cost and
power.

Evaluation Board
The AD9059/PCB evaluation board provides an easy-to-use
analog/digital interface for the dual 8-bit, 60 MSPS ADC. The
board includes typical hardware configurations for a variety of
high speed digitization evaluations. On-board components include the AD9059 (in the 28-pin SSOP package), optional analog input buffer amplifiers, digital output latches, board timing
drivers, and configurable jumpers for ac coupling, dc coupling,
and power-down function testing. The board is configured at
shipment for dc coupling using the AD9059’s internal reference.
For dc coupled analog input applications, amplifiers U3 and U4
are configured to operate as unity gain inverters with adjustable
offset for the analog input signals. For full-scale ADC drive
each analog input signal should be 1 V p-p into 50 Ω referenced
to ground. Each amplifier offsets its analog signal by +VREF
(+2.5 V typical) to center the voltage for proper ADC input
drive. For dc coupled operation, connect E7 to E9 (analog input A to R11), E14 to E13 (amplifier output to analog input A
of AD9059), E4 to E5 (analog input B to R10), and E11 to E10
(amplifier output to analog input B of AD9059) using the board
jumper connectors.
For ac coupled analog input applications, amplifiers U3 and U4
are removed from the analog signal paths. The analog signals
are coupled through capacitors C11 and C12, each terminated
to the VREF voltage through separate 1 kΩ resistors (providing
bias current for the AD9059 analog inputs, AINA and AINB).

Analog input signals to the board should be 1 V p-p into 50 Ω
for full-scale ADC drive. For ac coupled operation, connect E7
to E8 (analog input A to C12 feedthrough capacitor), E13 to
E15 (C12 to R15 termination resistor for channel A), E4 to E6
(analog input B to C11 feedthrough capacitor), and E10 to E12
(C11 to R14 termination resistor for channel B) using the board
jumper connectors.
The on-board reference voltage may be used to drive the ADC
or an external reference may be applied. The standard configuration employs the internal voltage reference without any external connection requirements. An external voltage reference may
be applied at board connector input REF to overdrive the limited current output of the AD9059’s internal voltage reference.
The external voltage reference should be +2.5 V typical.
The power-down function of the AD9059 can be exercised
through a board jumper connection. Connect E2 to E1 (+5 V
to PWRDN) for power-down mode operation. For normal operation, connect E3 to E1 (ground to PWRDN).
The encode signal source should be TTL/CMOS compatible
and capable of driving a 50 Ω termination. The digital outputs
of the AD9059 are buffered through latches on the evaluation
board (U5 and U6) and are available for the user at connector
Pins 30–37 and Pins 22–29. Latch timing is derived from the
ADC ENCODE clock and a digital clocking signal is provided
for the board user at connector Pins 2 and 21.
