The SPT7855 is a 10-bit monolithic, low-cost, ultralowpower analog-to-digital converter capable of minimum
word rates of 25 MSPS. The on-chip track-and-hold function assures very good dynamic performance without the
need for external components. The input drive requirements are minimized due to the SPT7855’s low input
capacitance of only 5 pF.
Po wer dissipation is e xtremely lo w at only 135 mW typical
at 25 MSPS with a power supply of +5.0 V. The digital outputs are +3 V or +5 V, and are user selectable. The
APPLICATIONS
• All high-speed applications where low power
dissipation is required
• Video imaging
• Medical imaging
• IR imaging
• Digital communications
SPT7855 is pin-compatible with the entire family of SPT
10-bit, CMOS converters (SPT7835/40/50/55/60/61),
which simplifies upgrades. The SPT7855 has incorporated proprietary circuit design* and CMOS processing
technologies to achieve its adv anced perf ormance. Inputs
and outputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible to interface with
TTL/CMOS logic systems. Output data format is straight
binary.
The SPT7855 is available in 28-lead SOIC and 32-lead
small (7 mm square) TQFP packages over the commercial and industrial temperature ranges.

OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The general architecture for the CMOS ADC is shown in
the block diagram. The design contains 16 identical successive approximation ADC sections, all oper ating in parallel, a 16-phase clock generator, an 11-bit 16:1 digital
output multiplexer, correction logic, and a voltage reference generator that provides common reference le vels f or
each ADC section.
POWER SUPPLIES AND GROUNDING
The high sample rate is achieved by using multiple SAR
ADC sections in parallel, each of which samples the input
SPT suggests that both the digital and the analog supply
voltages on the SPT7855 be derived from a single analog
supply as shown in figure 2. A separate digital supply
signal in sequence. Each ADC uses 16 clock cycles to
complete a conversion. The clock cycles are allocated as
shown in table II.
should be used for all interface circuitry. SPT suggests
using this power supply configuration to prev ent a possible
latch-up condition on powerup.

16Data transfer
The 16-phase clock, which is derived from the input clock,
synchronizes these ev ents. The timing signals f or adjacent
ADC sections are shifted by one clock cycle so that the
analog input is sampled on every cycle of the input clock
by exactly one ADC section. After 16 clock periods, the
timing cycle repeats. The latency from analog input
sample to the corresponding digital output is 12 clock
cycles.
• Since only 16 comparators are used, a huge power
savings is realized.
• The auto-zero operation is done using a closed loop
system that uses multiple samples of the comparator’s
response to a reference zero.
• The auto-calibrate operation, which calibrates the gain
of the MSB reference and the LSB reference, is also
done with a closed loop system. Multiple samples of the
gain error are integrated to produce a calibration voltage for each ADC section.
• Capacitive displacement currents, which can induce
sampling error, are minimiz ed since only one comparator samples the input during a clock cycle.
• The total input capacitance is very low since sections of
the converter that are not sampling the signal are isolated from the input by transmission gates.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The SPT7855 requires the use of a single external voltage
reference for driving the high side of the reference ladder.
It must be within the range of 3 V to 5 V. The lower side of
the ladder is typically tied to AGND (0.0 V), but can be run
up to 2.0 V with a second reference. The analog input v oltage range will track the total voltage difference measured
between the ladder sense lines, V
RHS
and V
RLS
.
Force and sense taps are provided to ensure accurate
and stable setting of the upper and lower ladder sense line
voltages across part-to-part and temperature variations.
By using the configuration shown in figure 3, offset and
gain errors of less than ±2 LSB can be obtained.

ANALOG INPUT
VIN is the analog input. The input voltage range is from
V
RLS
to V
(typically 4.0 V) and will scale proportionally
RHS
with respect to the voltage reference. (See voltage reference section.)
The drive requirements for the analog inputs are very
minimal when compared to most other converters due to
the SPT7855’s extremely low input capacitance of only
5 pF and very high input resistance of 50 kΩ.
The analog input should be protected through a series
resistor and diode clamping circuit as shown in figure 5.
Upon powerup, the SPT7855 begins its calibration algorithm. In order to achieve the calibration accuracy required, the offset and gain adjustment step size is a fraction of a 10-bit LSB. Since the calibration algorithm is an
oversampling process, a minimum of 10,000 clock cycles
are required. This results in a minimum calibration time
upon powerup of 400 µsec (for a 25 MHz clock). Once
calibrated, the SPT7855 remains calibrated ov er time and
temperature.
Since the calibration cycles are initiated on the rising edge
of the clock, the clock must be continuously applied f or the
SPT7855 to remain in calibration.
INPUT PROTECTION
All I/O pads are protected with an on-chip protection
circuit shown in figure 6. This circuit provides ESD robustness to 3.5 kV and prevents latch-up under severe discharge conditions without degrading analog transition
times.

CALIBRATION
The SPT7855 uses an auto-calibration scheme to ensure
10-bit accuracy over time and temperature. Gain and offset errors are continually adjusted to 10-bit accuracy
during device operation. This process is completely transparent to the user.

POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING CONSIDERATIONS
All logic inputs should be held low until power to the de vice
has settled to the specific tolerances. Avoid power decoupling networks with large time constants that could delay
VDD power to the device.
CLOCK INPUT
The SPT7855 is driven from a single-ended TTL-input
clock. Because the pipelined architecture operates on the
rising edge of the clock input, the device can operate o ver
a wide range of input clock duty cycles without degrading
the dynamic performance.

The format of the output data (D0–D9) is straight binary.

of CLK. These outputs can be switched into a tri-state
mode by bringing EN high.

) ranging from +3 V to +5 V. This feature
DD
D10D9–D0
The OVERRANGE OUTPUT (D10) is an indication that
the analog input signal has exceeded the positive fullscale input voltage by 1 LSB. When this condition occurs,
D10 will switch to logic 1. All other data outputs (D0 to D9)
will remain at logic 1 as long as D10 remains at logic 1.
This feature makes it possible to include the SPT7855 in
higher resolution systems.

The EB7855 evaluation board is av ailable to aid designers
in demonstrating the full performance of the SPT7855.

output data latches, and an on-board reconstruction of the
digital data. An application note describing the operation
