GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9070 is a monolithic sampling analog-to-digital
converter with an on-chip track-and-hold circuit and ECL
digital interfaces. The product operates at a 100 MSPS
conversion rate with outstanding dynamic performance over
its full operating range.

The ADC requires only a single –5 V supply and an encode
clock for full performance operation. The digital outputs are
ECL compatible, while a differential clock input accommodates
a wide range of logic levels. The AD9070 may be operated in a
Positive ECL (PECL) environment with a single +5 V supply.
An Out-of-Range output (OR) is available in the DIP version to
indicate that a conversion result is outside the operating range.
In both package styles, the output data are held at saturation
levels during an out-of-range condition.

APPLICATION NOTES

Theory of Operation

The AD9070 employs a two-step subranging architecture with
digital error correction.

The sampling and conversion process is initiated by a rising
edge at the ENCODE input. The analog input signal is buffered
by a high speed differential amplifier and applied to a track­and-hold (T/H) circuit that captures the value of the input at
the sampling instant and maintains it for the duration of the
conversion.

The coarse quantizer (ADC) produces a five-bit estimate of the
input value. Its digital output is reconverted to analog form by
the reconstruction DAC and subtracted from the input signal in
the SUM AMP. The second stage quantizer generates a six-bit
representation of the difference signal. The eleven bits are
presented to the ENCODE LOGIC, which corrects for range
overlap errors and produces an accurate ten-bit result.

Data are strobed to the output on the rising edge of the ENCODE
input, with the data from sample N appearing on the output
following ENCODE rising edge N+3.

USING THE AD9070
ENCODE Input

Any high speed A/D converter is extremely sensitive to the quality
of the sampling clock provided by the user. A Track/Hold circuit is
essentially a mixer, and any noise, distortion or timing jitter on
the clock will be combined with the desired signal at the A/D
output. For that reason, considerable care has been taken in the
design of the ENCODE input of the AD9070 and the user is
advised to give commensurate thought to the clock source.

The ENCODE input is fully differential and may be operated in
a differential or a single-ended mode. It has a common-mode
range of –1 V to –3 V, and is easily driven by a differential ECL
driver. Proper termination at the A/D is important.

Figure 7. Single-Ended ENCODE: AC-Coupled

In single-ended mode, the ENCODE input must be tied to an
appropriate reference voltage, generally midway between the
high and the low levels of the incoming logic signal. Many
ECL circuits provide a V

reference voltage intended for

BB

this purpose. If a reference voltage is produced by dividing
the power supply voltage, any noise on the supply used will
couple to the clock input and then to the output data. This is

not recommended. A better approach is to develop the required
voltage from the internal or external converter voltage reference
(VREF OUT).

Very small timing errors can reduce the performance of an A/D
dramatically. Total jitter of only 3.2 ps will limit the perfor­mance of an A/D sampling a full-scale 50 MHz signal to nine
effective bits. The AD9070’s specified aperture jitter of 2.5 ps
leaves only 2.0 ps of jitter budget for the clock source (an RSS
calculation).

The cleanest clock source is only a crystal oscillator producing
a pure sine wave. In this configuration, or with any roughly
symmetrical clock input, the input can be ac coupled and biased
to a reference voltage that also provides the ENCODE input
(Figure 7). This ensures that the reference voltage is centered
on the ENCODE signal.

Digital Outputs

The digital outputs are compatible with 10K ECL logic. The
suggested pull-down is 100 Ω to –2 V. However, to reduce power
consumption, higher value pull-down resistors can be used
when driving very low capacitance loads or at reduced encode
rates. The falling edge slew rate of the output bits will be degraded
with higher value pull-down resistors.

Analog Input

The analog input to the AD9070 is a differential amplifier, but
the design has been optimized for a single-ended input. The
AIN input should be connected or bypassed to the ground
reference of the input signal. For best dynamic performance,
impedances at AIN and AIN should match.

The circuit in Figure 8 illustrates a simple ac-coupled interface.
The midscale input voltage and the AIN levels are both provided
by the internal reference (VREF OUT).

Figure 9 shows typical connections for the analog inputs when
using the AD9070 in a dc-coupled system with single-ended
signals. The AD820 is used to offset the ground referenced
input signal to the level required by the AD9070. A very high
performance amplifier, such as the AD9631, is required to avoid
degrading the analog signal presented to the ADC. A buffered
ac interface is easily implemented, with even fewer components
(Figure 10).

Figure 10. AC-Coupled Input

Special care was taken in the design of the analog input section
of the AD9070 to prevent damage and corruption of data when
the input is overdriven. The nominal input range is –1.988 V
to –3.012 V (1.024 V p–p centered at –2.5 V). Out-of-range
comparators detect when the analog input signal is out of this
range and set the OR output signal HIGH. The digital out­puts are locked at plus or minus full scale (1FFh or 200h) for
voltages that are out of range but between –1 V and –5 V. Input
voltages outside of this range may result in invalid codes at the
ADCs output.

When the analog input signal returns to the nominal range, the
out-of-range comparators return the ADC to its active mode
and the device recovers in approximately 3 ns.

The input is protected to one volt outside of the power supply
rails. For nominal power (–5 V and ground), the analog input
will not be damaged with signals ranging from –6.0 V to +1.0 V.

Voltage Reference

A stable and accurate –2.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9070 (VREF OUT) in the SOIC (BR) package. In normal
operation, the internal reference is used by strapping Pins 3
and 4 of the AD9070 together. The internal reference can
provide 100 µA of extra drive current that may be used for
other circuits.

Some applications may require greater accuracy, improved
temperature performance or adjustment of the gain of the
AD9070, which cannot be obtained by using the internal
reference. For these applications, an external –2.5 V reference
can be connected to VREF IN, which requires 5 µA of drive
current (Figure 11).

Figure 11. Using the AD780 Voltage Reference

The input range can be adjusted by varying the reference voltage
applied to the AD9070. No appreciable degradation in perfor­mance occurs when the reference is adjusted ±4%. The full­scale range of the ADC tracks reference voltage changes linearly.

Timing

The performance of the AD9070 is insensitive to the duty cycle
of the clock over a wide range of operating conditions: pulse­width variations of as much as ±20% will cause no degradation
in performance (see TPC 9).

The AD9070 provides latched data outputs, with three pipeline
delays. Data outputs are available one propagation delay (t

PD

)
after the rising edge of the encode command (Figure 1). The
length of the output data lines and loads placed on them should
be minimized to reduce transients within the AD9070; these
transients can detract from the converter’s dynamic performance.

The minimum guaranteed conversion rate of the AD9070 is
40 MSPS. At clock rates below 40 MSPS, dynamic performance
may degrade. The AD9070 will operate in bursts, but the user
must flush the internal pipeline each time the clock restarts.
Valid data will be produced on the fourth rising edge of the
ENCODE signal after the clock is restarted.

5 V Operation

The AD9070 may be operated above ground, with a single 5 V
power supply. All power supply ground pins are connected to
5 V, and V

pins are connected to ground (Figure 12). Care must

EE

be taken in connecting signals and determining bypass rails.

The reference voltage (REF OUT) is still generated with respect
to the positive rail, which is now 5 V. It is nominally 2.5 V, but
its voltage with respect to ground will vary directly with changes
in the power supply voltage (for example, if the power supply
goes to 5.1 V, the reference becomes 2.6 V). The reference
input is likewise processed with respect to 5 V. This dictates
that these pins be bypassed to 5 V as well. However, the COMP
and REF BYPASS pins must continue to be bypassed to the
most negative supply, which is now ground. The AIN input
must still be connected or bypassed to the ground reference of
the input signal.

Package Options

The AD9070 is available in two packages. The BR package is a
standard 28-lead Small Outline IC (SOIC). The DIP package is
a ceramic Dual-in-Line Hybrid. The SOIC is offered in a commer­cial grade, and specified over the industrial (–40°C to +85°C)
temperature range. The DIP is a full MIL-PRF-38534 QML
version that operates from (–55°C to +125°C).

The SOIC version includes the on-chip voltage reference, whereas
the DIP does not. The DIP, however, provides the Overrange
(OR) output, and includes reference and power supply bypass­ing, along with an internal compensation capacitor.

Equivalent performance may be obtained with either part though,
due to the internal bypassing, the DIP is not as sensitive to
board layout and parasitics.

Figure 13.

The AD9070 evaluation board is a convenient and easy way to
evaluate the performance of the AD9070 in the SOIC package.
The board consists of an AD780 voltage reference (configured
for –2.5 V), two 10H176 (hex D flip flop) for capturing data
from the A/D converter and five 10H116 triple line receivers for
buffering the encode signal and driving the data via the edge
connector. Termination resistors (RP11, RP12, and RP14) are
provided for the data leaving the board via the connector; (they
can be removed if termination resistors are already provided by
the user).

Analog Input

The evaluation board requires a 1 V peak-to-peak signal centered
at ground (J1). This signal is ac-coupled and then dc shifted
–2.5 V before it is input to the A/D converter.

Encode

The AD9070 encode inputs can be driven single-ended (connect
E9 to E19 and drive J2 with an ECL signal) or differentially
(connect E8 to E19 and drive J2 and J4 with differential ECL
signals). The board is shipped in single ended configuration. The
differential encode signal leaving the board via the connector
can be inverted by interchanging E4, E5, E6, and E7 (connect
E4 to E7 and E5 to E6 or E4 to E6 and E7 to E5). This ensures
that the user will be able to capture the data coming from the
evaluation board.

Data Out

Data goes single-ended into the 10H116 flip flops but comes
out differentially. The data coming out of the AD9070 is in
two’s complement format, but is changed to straight binary by
inverting the MSB at the connector (on the schematic Bit 1 and
Bit 1B are swapped).

Voltage Reference

The AD9070 can be operated using its internal bandgap reference
(connect E2 to E3) or the on board AD780 external reference
(connect E1 to E3). The board is shipped utilizing the internal
voltage reference.

Layout

The AD9070 is not layout-sensitive if some important guidelines
are met. The evaluation board layout provides an example where
these guidelines have been followed to optimize performance.

•

Provide a good ground plane connecting the analog and
digital sections.

•

Excellent bypassing is essential. Chip caps with 0.1 µF values
and 0603 dimensions are placed flush against the pins. Placing
any of the caps on the bottom of the board can degrade
performance. These techniques reduce the amount of parasitic
inductance which can impact the bypassing ability of the caps.

•

Separate power planes and supplies for the analog and digital
sections are recommended.

The AD9070 evaluation board is provided as a design example
for customers of Analog Devices. ADI makes no warranties
express, statutory, or implied regarding merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose.
