ADC16061
Self-Calibrating 16-Bit, 2.5 MSPS, 390 mW A/D Converter
ADC16061 Self-Calibrating 16-Bit, 2.5 MSPS, 390 mW A/D Converter
General Description
The ADC16061 is a self-calibrating 16-bit, 2.5 Megasample
per secondanalog to digital converter. It operates on a single
+5V supply, consuming just 390mW (typical).
The ADC16061 provides an easy and affordable upgrade
from 12 bit and 14 bit converters. The ADC16061 may also
be used to replace many hybrid converters with a resultant
saving of space, power and cost.
The ADC16061 operates with excellent dynamic performance at input frequencies up to
calibration feature of theADC16061 can be used to get more
consistent and repeatable results over the entire operating
temperature range. On-command self-calibration reduces
many of the effects of temperature-induced drift, resulting in
more repeatable conversions.
The Power Down feature reduces power consumption to
less than 2mW.
TheADC16061 comes in aTQFP and is designed to operate
over the commercial temperature range of 0˚C to +70˚C.

to 2.5 MHz. The clock frequency should not be changed or
interrupted during conversion or while reading data output.
CAL is a level-sensitive digital input that, when pulsed high for at
least two clock cycles, puts the ADC into the CALIBRATE mode.
Calibration should be performed upon ADC power-up (after
asserting a reset) and each time the temperature changes by more
than 50˚C since the ADC16061 was last calibrated. See Section
2.3 for more information.
RESET is a level-sensitive digital input that, when pulsed high for
at least 2 CLOCK cycles, results in the resetting of the ADC. This
reset pulse must be applied after ADC power-up, before
calibration.
RD is the (READ) digital input that, when low, enables the output
data buffers. When this input pin is high, the output data bus is in
a high impedance state.
PD is the Power Down input that, when low, puts the converter
into the power down mode. When this pin is high, the converter is
in the active mode.

APERTURE JITTER is the variation in aperture delay from
sample to sample. Aperture jitter shows up as input noise.
APERTURE DELAY is the time required after the falling
edge of the clock for the sampling switch to open. In other
words, for the Track/Hold circuit to go from ’track’ mode into
the ’hold’ mode. The Track/Hold circuit affectively stops capturing the input signal and goes into the ’hold’ mode t

OFFSET ERROR is the difference between the ideal LSB
transition to the actual transition point. The LSB transition
should occur when V

DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of
the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE
BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise and
Distortion Ratio, or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD
−1.76) / 6.02.

It is defined as the ratio of the power in the intermodulation
products to the total power in the original frequencies. IMD is
usually expressed in dB.
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from negative full scale (
1
⁄2LSB below the first code transition) through
positive full scale (the last code transition). The deviation of
any given code from this straight line is measured from the
center of that code value.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of clock cycles
between initiation of conversion and when that data is presented to the output stage. Data for any given sample is
available the Pipeline Delay plus the Output Delay after that
sample is taken. New data is available at every clock cycle,
but the data lags the conversion by the pipeline delay.
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in
dB, of the rms value of the input signal to the rms value of the
sum of all other spectral components below one-half the
sampling frequency, not including harmonics or dc.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/(N+D) or SINAD)) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the

Functional Description
Operating on a single +5V supply, the ADC16061 uses a
pipelined architecture and has error correction circuitry and a
calibration mode to help ensure maximum performance at all
times.
Balanced analog signals with a peak-to-peak voltage equal
to the input reference voltage, V
the common mode input voltage, V
(15 bits plus sign). Neglecting offsets, positive input signal
voltages (V
+−VIN− ≥ 0) produce positive digital output
IN
data and negative input signal voltages (V
produce negative output data. The input signal can be digitized at any clock rate between 300 Ksps and 2.5 Msps.
Input voltages below the negative full scale value will cause
the output word to take on the negative full scale value of
1000,0000,0000,0000. Input voltage above the positive full
scale value will cause the output word to take on the positive
full scale value of 0111,1111,1111,1111.
The output word rate is the same as the clock frequency.The
analog input voltage is acquired at the falling edge of the
clock and the digital data for that sample is delayed by the
pipeline for 13 clock cycles plus t

The RD pin must be low to enable the digital outputs. A logic

power consumption to less than two milliwatts.

The V

IN
analog switch followed by a switched-capacitor amplifier.
The capacitance seen at the analog input pins changes with
the clock level, appearing as 12 pF when the clock is low,
and 28 pF when the clock is high. It is recommended that the
ADC16061 be driven with a low impedance source of 100
Ohms or less.
Since a dynamic capacitance is more difficult to drive than is
a fixed capacitance, choose driving amplifiers carefully. The
CLC440, LM6152, LM6154, LM6172, LM6181 and LM6182
are good amplifiers for driving the ADC16061.

If it is desired to use a multiplexer at the analog input, that
multiplexer should be switched at the rising edge of the clock
signal.
2.0 DIGITAL INPUTS
Digital Inputs consist of CLOCK, RESET, CAL, RD and PD.
All digital input pins should remain stable from the fall of the
clock until 30ns after the fall of the clock to minimize digital
noise corruption of the input signal on the die.
2.1 The CLOCK signal drives an internal phase delay loop to
create timing for theADC. Drive the clock input with a stable,
low phase jitter clock signal in the range of 300 kHz to 2.5
MHz. The trace carrying the clock signal should be as short
as possible. This trace should not cross any other signal line,
analog or digital, not even at 90˚.
The CLOCK signal also drives the internal state machine. If
the clock is interrupted, the data within the pipeline could become corrupted.
A 100 Ohm damping resistor should be placed in series with
.
the CLOCK pin to prevent signal undershoot at that input.
2.2 The RESET input is level sensitive and must be pulsed
high for at least two clock cycles to reset the ADC after
power-up and before calibration (See Timing Diagram 2).
2.3 The CAL input is level sensitive and must be pulsed high
for at least two clock cycles to begin ADC calibration (See
Timing Diagram 2). Reset the ADC16061 before calibrating.
Re-calibrate after the temperature has changed by more
.
than 50˚C since the last calibration was performed and after
return from power down.
During calibration, use the same clock frequency that will be
used for conversions to avoid excessive offset errors.
A
Calibration takes 272,800 clock cycles. Irrelevant data may
appear at the data outputs during RESET or CAL and for 13
clock cycles thereafter.Calibration should not be started until
the reference outputs have settled (100ms with 1µF capacitors on these outputs) after power up or coming out of the
power down mode.
2.4 RD pin is used to READ the conversion data. When the
RD pin is low, the output buffers go into the active state.
When the RD input is high, the output buffers are in the high
impedance state.
2.5 The PD pin, when low, holds the ADC16061 in a
power-down mode where power consumption is typically
less than 2mW to conserve power when the converter is not
being used. Power consumption during shut-down is not affected by the clock frequency, or by whether there is a clock
signal present. The data in the pipeline is corrupted while in
the power down mode. The ADC16061 should be reset and
calibrated upon returning to normal operation after a power
down.
3.0 OUTPUTS
The ADC16061 has four analog outputs: V
V
REF−OUT,VREF (MID)
and VCM. There are 17 digital out-

puts: EOC (End of Conversion) and 16 Data Output pins.

3.2 The EOC output goes low to indicate the presence of
valid data at the output data lines. Valid data is present the
entire time that this signal is low,except during reset. Corrupt
or irrelevant data may appear at the data outputs when the
RESET pin or the CAL pin is high.
3.3 The Data Outputs are TTL/CMOS compatible. The output data format is two’s complement. Valid data is present at
these outputs while the EOC pin is low. While the t

timing, a simple way to capture a valid output is to latch the
data on the rising edge of the CLOCK (pin 10).
Also helpful in minimizing noise due to output switching is to
minimize the load currents at the digital outputs. This can be
done by connecting buffers between the ADC outputs and
any other circuitry. Only one input should be connected to
each output pin. Additionally, inserting series resistors of 47
or 56 Ohms at the digital outputs, close to the ADC pins, will
isolate the outputs from other circuitry and limit output currents. (See

4.0 POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
Each power supply pin should be bypassed with a parallel
combination of a 10 µF capacitor and a 0.1 µF ceramic chip
capacitor.The chip capacitors should be within
1
⁄2centimeter
of the power pins. Leadless chip capacitors are preferred because they provide low lead inductance.
While a single 5V source is used for the analog and digital
supplies of the ADC16061, these supply pins should be well
isolated from each other to prevent any digital noise from being coupled to the analog power pins. Supply isolation with
ferrite beads is shown in
Figure 6
and
Figure 8
.
As is the case with all high-speed converters, the ADC16061
is sensitive to power supply noise. Accordingly, the noise on
the analog supply pin should be kept below 15 mV
P-P
.
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of
the supply voltages, not even during power up or power
down.
The V
I/O provides power for the output drivers and may be

operated from a supply in the range of 2.7V to the V

5.0 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essential to ensure accurate conversion. Separate analog and
digital ground planes that are connected beneath the
ADC16061 are required to achieve specified performance.
The analog and digital grounds may be in the same layer,but
should be separated from each other and should never overlap each other. Separation should be at least
possible.
The ground return for the digital supply (DGND I/O ) carries
the ground current for the output drivers. This output current
can exhibit high transients that could add noise to the conversion process. To prevent this from happening, the DGND
I/O pin should NOT be connected in close proximity to any of
the ADC16061’s other ground pins.
Capacitive coupling between the typically noisy digital
ground plane and the sensitive analog circuitry can lead to
poor performance that may seem impossible to isolate and
remedy. The solution is to keep the analog circuitry separated from the digital circuitry and from the digital ground
plane.
Digital circuits create substantial supply and ground current
transients. The logic noise thus generated could have significant impact upon system noise performance. The best logic
family to use in systems with A/D converters is one which
employs non-saturating transistor designs, or has low noise
characteristics, such as the 74LS, 74HC(T) and 74AC(T)Q
families. The worst noise generators are logic families that
draw the largest supply current transients during clock or signal edges, like the 74F and the 74AC(T) families.
Since digital switching transients are composed largely of
high frequency components, total ground plane copper
weight will have little effect upon the logic-generated noise.
This is because of the skin effect. Total surface area is more
important than is total ground plane volume.
An effective way to control ground noise is by connecting the
analog and digital ground planes together beneath the ADC
with a copper trace that is very narrow compared with the
1
⁄8inch, where
rest of the ground plane. A typical width is 3/16 inch (4 to 5
mm).This narrowing beneath the converter provides a fairly
high impedance to the high frequency components of the
digital switching currents, directing them away from the analog pins. The relatively lower frequency analog ground currents see a relatively low impedance across this narrow
ground connection.
Generally,analog and digitallines should cross each other at
90 degrees to avoid getting digital noise into the analog path.
To maximize accuracy in high speed, high resolution systems, however, avoid crossing analog and digital lines altogether. It is important to keep any clock lines isolated from
ALL other lines, including other digital lines. Even the generally accepted 90 degree crossing should be avoided as even
a little coupling can cause problems at high frequencies.
This is because other lines can introduce phase noise (jitter)
into the clock line, which can lead to degradation of SNR.
Best performance at high frequencies and at high resolution
is obtained with a straight signal path. That is, the signal path
through all components should form a straight line wherever
possible.
Be especially careful with the layout of inductors. Mutual inductance can change the characteristics of the circuit in
which they are used. Inductors should not be placed side by
side, not even with just a small part of their bodies beside
each other.
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces
to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. Any external component (e.g., a filter capacitor) connected between the converter’s input and ground should be connected
to a very clean point in the analog ground plane.

should be placed on or over the analog ground plane. All
digital circuitry and I/O lines should be placed over the digital
ground plane.
All ground connections should have a low inductance path to
ground.

FIGURE 9. Example at a suitable layout.
6.0 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
To achieve the best dynamic performance with the
ADC16061, the clock source driving the CLK input must be
free of jitter. For best ac performance, isolate the ADC clock
from any digital circuitry with buffers, as with the clock tree
shown in
Figure 10
.
As mentioned in section 5.0, it is good practice to keep the
ADC clock line as short as possible and to keep it well away
from any other signals. Other signals can introduce phase
noise (jitter) into the clock signal, which can lead to increased distortion. Even lines with 90˚ crossings have capacitive coupling, so try to avoid even these 90˚ crossings of
the clock line.
DS100889-24
FIGURE 10. Isolating the ADC clock from other
circuitry with a clock tree.
7.0 COMMON APPLICATION PITFALLS
Driving the inputs (analog or digital) beyond the power
supply rails. For proper operation, all inputs should not go
more than 100 mV beyond the supply rails (more than 100
DS100889-23
mV below the ground pins or 100 mV above the supply pins).
Exceeding these limits on even a transient basis may cause
faulty or erratic operation. It is not uncommon for high speed
digital circuits (e.g., 74F and 74AC devices) to exhibit undershoot that goes more than a volt below ground. A resistor of
about 50 to 100Ω in series with the offending digital input will
eliminate the problem.
Do not allow input voltages to exceed the supply voltage during power up.
Be careful not to overdrive the inputs of the ADC16061 with
a device that is powered from supplies outside the range of
theADC16061 supply. Such practice may lead to conversion
inaccuracies and even to device damage.
Attempting to drive a high capacitance digital data bus.
The more capacitance the output drivers must charge for
each conversion, the more instantaneous digital current
flows through V
I/O and DGND I/O. These large charging
D
current spikes can couple into the analog circuitry of the
ADC16061, degrading dynamic performance. Adequate bypassing and maintaining separate analog and digital ground
planes will reduce this problem. The digital data outputs
should be buffered (with 74ACQ541, for example). Dynamic
performance can also be improved by adding series resistors at each digital output, close to the ADC16061, which reduces the energy coupled back into the converter output
pins by limiting the output current. A reasonable value for
these resistors is 47Ω.
Using an inadequate amplifier to drive the analog input.
As explained in Section 1.3, the capacitance seen at the input alternates between 12 pF and 28 pF,depending upon the
phase of the clock. This dynamic load is more difficult to
drive than is a fixed capacitance.
If the amplifier exhibits overshoot, ringing, or any evidence of
instability, even at a very low level, it will degrade perfor-
