APPLICATION NOTES
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9071 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 track-and-hold
(T/H) circuit, which 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 5-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 6-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 10-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 AD9071
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 AD9071, and
the user is advised to give commensurate thought to the clock
source. The lowest jitter clock source is a crystal oscillator producing a pure sine wave.
The ENCODE input is fully TTL/CMOS compatible.
Digital Outputs
The digital outputs are CMOS compatible for lower power
consumption. 200 Ω series resistors are recommended between
the AD9071 and the receiving logic to reduce transients and
improve SNR.
Analog Input
The analog input has been optimized for differential signal
input.

Figure 18. Differential Analog Input Configuration
If driven single-endedly, the AIN should be connected to a
clean reference and bypassed to ground. For best dynamic
performance, impedances at AIN and AIN should match.
Special care was taken in the design of the analog input section
of the AD9071 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 (3FF
or 200H) for volt-
H
ages 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
ADC’s output.

Figure 19. Single-Ended Analog Input Configuration
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 the overvoltage recovery time.
Voltage Reference
A stable and accurate 2.5 V voltage reference (VCC – 2.5 V) is
built into the AD9071 (VREF OUT). In normal operation, the
internal reference is used by strapping Pins 3 and 4 of the AD9071
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
AD9071, 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
(see Figure 20).

Figure 20. Using the AD780 Voltage Reference
The input range can be adjusted by varying the reference voltage applied to the AD9071. No appreciable degradation in
performance occurs when the reference is adjusted ±4%. The
full-scale range of the ADC tracks reference voltage changes
linearly.
Timing
The performance of the AD9071 is insensitive to the duty
cycle of the clock over a wide range of operating conditions
(see Figure 15).
The AD9071 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 (see Figure 1). The
length of the output data lines, and loads placed on them, should
be minimized to reduce transients within the AD9071; these
transients can detract from the converter’s dynamic performance.

AD9071
The minimum guaranteed conversion rate of the AD9071 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.
EVALUATION BOARD
The AD9071 evaluation board is a convenient and easy way to
evaluate the performance of the AD9071 in the SOIC package.
The board consists of an internal voltage reference or an optional external reference, two 74LCX574 latches for capturing
data from the A/D converter, and an AD9760 DAC for viewing
reconstructed A/D data. The AD9071 output logic can be driven
at 5 V and 3.3 V levels. The latches are set up at 3.3 V but are
5 V tolerant. Test points are provided at Encode, DB9, DB0,
Data Ready, and Data Clock. All are clearly labeled.
Analog Input
The evaluation board can be driven single-ended or differentially. Differential input requires using a 1:1 transformer. For
single-ended operation (J2), Jumper S5 is connected to S8 and
S6 is connected to S7. For differential input operation (J3), S5
is connected to S3 and S4 is connected to S6. The board is
shipped in the differential configuration.
Encode
The AD9071 encode inputs are driven single-ended into J1 and
are at TTL logic levels.
Data Out
The data delivered out of the AD9071 is in offset binary format
at TTL levels. The Data Ready signal can be inverted by opening the S1 and S2 connections. An optional series termination
resistor on Data Ready (R33), normally 0 ohms, is provided to
support various user output impedance configurations. The
AD9760 DAC supports viewing reconstructed A/D data at J4.
Voltage Reference
The AD9071 can be operated using its internal voltage reference (connect E2 to E3) or an optional external reference (connect E1 to E2). The board is shipped utilizing the internal
voltage reference.
Layout
The AD9071 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 capacitors with 0.1 µF
values and 0803 dimensions are placed flush against the pins.
Placing any of the capacitors on the bottom of the board can
degrade performance. These techniques reduce the amount
of parasitic inductance that can impact the bypassing ability
of the caps.
• Separate power planes and supplies for the analog and digital
sections are recommended.
The AD9071 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.
