ADC083000 8-Bit, 3 GSPS, High Performance, Low Power A/D Converter
May 2007

General Description

The ADC083000 is a single, low power, high performance CMOS analog-to-digital converter that digitizes signals to 8 bits resolution at sampling rates up to 3.4 GSPS. Consuming a typical 1.9 Watts at 3 GSPS from a single 1.9 Volt supply, this device is guaranteed to have no missing codes over the full operating temperature range. The unique folding and in­terpolating architecture, the fully differential comparator de­sign, the innovative design of the internal sample-and-hold amplifier and the self-calibration scheme enable a very flat response of all dynamic parameters up to Nyquist, producing a high 7.0 Effective Number Of Bits, (ENOB) with a 748 MHz input signal and a 3 GHz sample rate while providing a 10 Bit Error Rate, (BER). The ADC083000 achieves a 3 GSPS sampling rate by utilizing both the rising and falling edge of a
1.5 GHz input clock. Output formatting is offset binary and the LVDS digital outputs are compatible with IEEE 1596.3-1996, with the exception of an adjustable common mode voltage between 0.8V and 1.15V.
The ADC has a 1:4 demultiplexer that feeds four LVDS buses and reduces the output data rate on each bus to a quarter of the sampling rate.
The converter typically consumes less than 25 mW in the Power Down Mode and is available in a 128-lead, thermally enhanced exposed pad LQFP and operates over the Indus­trial (-40°C TA +85°C) temperature range.

converter. The data should be extracted in the order ABCD These outputs should always be terminated with a 100 differential resistor.
Out Of Range (Output):LVDS - A differential high at these pins indicates that
the differential input is out of range (outside the range ±325 mV or ±435 mV as defined by the FSR pin). These outputs should always be terminated with a 100 differential resistor.
Differential Clock (Output):LVDS - The Differential Clock outputs are used to latch
the output data. Delayed and non-delayed data outputs are supplied synchronous to this signal. DCLK is 1/2 the sample clock rate in SDR mode and 1/4 the sample clock rate in the DDR mode. These outputs should always be terminated with a 100 differential resistor. The DCLK outputs are not active during the calibration cycle depending on the setting of Configuration Register (address 1h), bit- 14 (RTD). DCLK is continuously present during the calibration cycle when bit-14 is set high (1b) and is not active during the calibration cycle when set low (0b).

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. There is no guarantee of operation at the Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = DR GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
ADC083000
Note 3: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply limits (that is, less than GND or greater than VA), the current at that pin should be limited to
25 mA. The 50 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 25 mA to two. This limit is not placed upon the power, ground and digital output pins.
Note 4: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through ZERO Ohms.
Note 5: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non-lead-free packages.
Note 6: The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes beyond the Absolute Maximum Ratings may damage this device.

Note 7: To guarantee accuracy, it is required that VA and VDR be well bypassed. Each supply pin must be decoupled with separate bypass capacitors. Additionally, achieving rated performance requires that the backside exposed pad be well grounded.
Note 8: Typical figures are at TA = 25°C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 9: Calculation of Full-Scale Error for this device assumes that the actual reference voltage is exactly its nominal value. Full-Scale Error for this device, therefore, is a combination of Full-Scale Error and Reference Voltage Error. See Figure 2. For relationship between Gain Error and Full-Scale Error, see Specification Definitions for Gain Error.
Note 10: The analog and clock input capacitances are die capacitances only. Additional package capacitances of 0.65 pF differential and 0.95 pF each pin to ground are isolated from the die capacitances by lead and bond wire inductances.
Note 11: This parameter is guaranteed by design and is not tested in production.
Note 12: This parameter is guaranteed by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.
Note 13: The digital control pin capacitances are die capacitances only. Additional package capacitance of 1.6 pF each pin to ground are isolated from the die
capacitances by lead and bond wire inductances.
Note 14: Each of the two converters of the ADC083000 has two LVDS output buses, which each clock data out at one quarter the sample rate. Bus Db has a pipeline latency that is one Input Clock cycle less than the latency of bus Dd. Likewise, bus Da has a pipeline latency that is one Input Clock cycle less than the latency of bus Dc.
Note 15: Tying VBG to the supply rail will increase the output offset voltage (VOS) by 400mv (typical), as shown in the VOS specification above. Tying VBG to the supply rail will also affect the differential LVDS output voltage (VOD), causing it to increase by 40mV (typical).
Note 16: All parameters are measured through a transmission line and 100 termination using a 0.33pF load oscilloscope probe.

Specification Definitions

APERTURE (SAMPLING) DELAY is the amount of delay,
measured from the sampling edge of the Clock input, after which the signal present at the input pin is sampled inside the device.
APERTURE JITTER (tAJ) is the variation in aperture delay from sample to sample. Aperture jitter shows up as input noise.
Bit Error Rate (B.E.R.) is the probability of error and is de­fined as the probable number of errors per unit of time divided by the number of bits seen in that amount of time. A B.E.R. of
-18

corresponds to a statistical error in one bit about every
four (4) years. CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that the clock
wave form is at a logic high to the total time of one clock pe­riod.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB. Measured at 3 GSPS with a ramp input.
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 and says that the converter is equivalent to a per-
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH (FPBW) is a measure of the frequency at which the reconstructed output fundamental drops 3 dB below its low frequency value for a full scale input.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the transfer function. It can be calculated from Offset and Full­Scale Errors:
Positive Gain Error = Offset Error − Positive Full-Scale Error
Negative Gain Error = −(Offset Error − Negative Full­Scale Error)
Gain Error = Negative Full-Scale Error − Positive Full­Scale Error = Positive Gain Error + Negative Gain Error
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the de­viation of each individual code from a straight line through the input to output transfer function. The deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured from the center of that code value. The best fit method is used.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is the creation of additional spectral components as a result of two sinusoidal frequencies being applied to the ADC input at the same time. It is defined as the ratio of the power in the second and third order intermodulation products to the power in one of the original frequencies. IMD is usually expressed in dBFS.

LSB (LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the small-
est value or weight of all bits. This value is
n
VFS / 2
where VFS is the differential full-scale amplitude of VIN as set by the FSR input (pin-14) and "n" is the ADC resolution in bits, which is 8 for the ADC083000.
LVDS DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE (VOD) is the ab­solute value of the difference between the VD+ & VD- outputs; each measured with respect to Ground.

FIGURE 1.

LVDS OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE (VOS) is the midpoint
between the D+ and D- pins output voltage; ie., [(VD+) + ( VD-)]/2.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that are skipped and will never appear at the ADC outputs. These codes can­not be reached with any input value.
MSB (MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the largest value or weight. Its value is one half of full scale.
NEGATIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (NFSE) is a measure of how far the last code transition is from the ideal 1/2 LSB above a differential -VIN / 2. For the ADC083000 the reference volt­age is assumed to be ideal, so this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference voltage error.

OUTPUT DELAY (tOD) is the time delay from 50% point of the input clock transition, CLK, to the 50% point of the updated data transition at the output pins.
OVER-RANGE RECOVERY TIME is the time required after the differential input voltages goes from ±1.2V to 0V for the converter to recover and make a conversion with its rated ac­curacy.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of input clock cycles between initiation of conversion and when that data is presented to the output driver stage. New data is available at every clock cycle, but the data lags the conversion by the Pipeline Delay plus the tOD.
POSITIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (PFSE) is a measure of how far the last code transition is from the ideal 1-1/2 LSB below a differential +VIN / 2. For the ADC083000 the reference voltage is assumed to be ideal, so this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference voltage error.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) can be one of two specifications. PSRR1 (DC PSRR) is the ratio of the change in full-scale error that results from a power supply voltage change from 1.8V to 2.0V. PSRR2 (AC PSRR) is a measure of how well an a.c. signal riding upon the power supply is rejected from the output and is measured with a 248 MHz, 50 mV ratio of the output amplitude of that signal at the output to its
signal riding upon the power supply. It is the
P-P
amplitude on the power supply pin. PSRR is expressed in dB. SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in
dB, of the rms value of the input signal at the output to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components below one­half the sampling frequency, not including harmonics or d.c.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/(N+D) or SINAD) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the
input signal at the output to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below half the input clock frequency, in­cluding harmonics but excluding d.c.
SPURIOUS-FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the differ­ence, expressed in dB, between the rms values of the input signal at the output and the peak spurious signal, where a spurious signal is any signal present in the output spectrum that is not present at the input, excluding d.c.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio ex­pressed in dB, of the rms total of the first nine harmonic levels at the output to the level of the fundamental at the output. THD is calculated as

1.0 Functional Description

The ADC083000 is a versatile A/D Converter with an innova­tive architecture permitting very high speed operation. The controls available ease the application of the device to circuit
ADC083000
solutions. Optimum performance requires adherence to the provisions discussed here and in the Applications Information Section.
While it is generally poor practice to allow an active pin to float, pins 4 and 14 of the ADC083000 are designed to be left float­ing without jeopardy. In all discussions throughout this data sheet, whenever a function is called by allowing a control pin to float, connecting that pin to a potential of one half the V supply voltage will have the same effect as allowing it to float.

1.1 OVERVIEW

The ADC083000 uses a calibrated folding and interpolating architecture that achieves over 7.2 effective bits. The use of folding amplifiers greatly reduces the number of comparators and power consumption. Interpolation reduces the number of front-end amplifiers required, minimizing the load on the input signal and further reducing power requirements. In addition to other things, on-chip calibration reduces the INL bow often seen with folding architectures. The result is an extremely fast, high performance, low power converter.
The analog input signal that is within the converter's input voltage range is digitized to eight bits at speeds of 1.0 GSPS to 3.0 GSPS, typical. Differential input voltages below nega­tive full-scale will cause the output word to consist of all zeroes. Differential input voltages above positive full-scale will cause the output word to consist of all ones. Either of these conditions at the analog input will cause the OR (Out of Range) output to be activated. This single OR output indicates when the output code from the converter is below negative full scale or above positive full scale.
The ADC083000 demultiplexes the data at 1:4 and is output on all four output busses at a quarter of the ADC sampling rate. The outputs must be interleaved by the user to provide output words at the full conversion rate.
The output levels may be selected to be normal or reduced voltage. Using reduced levels saves power but could result in erroneous data capture of some or all of the bits, especially at higher sample rates and in marginally designed systems.

1.1.1 Calibration

A calibration is performed upon power-up and can also be invoked by the user upon command. Calibration trims the 100 analog input differential termination resistor and mini­mizes full-scale error, offset error, DNL and INL, resulting in maximizing SNR, THD, SINAD (SNDR) and ENOB. Internal bias currents are also set with the calibration process. All of this is true whether the calibration is performed upon power up or is performed upon command. Running the calibration is an important part of this chip's functionality and is required in order to obtain adequate performance. In addition to the re­quirement to be run at power-up, calibration must be re-run by the user whenever the state of the FSR pin is changed. For best performance, we recommend an on command calibra­tion be run after initial power up and the device has reached a stable temperature. Also, we recommend that an on com­mand calibration be run whenever the operating temperature changes significantly relative to the specific system perfor­mance requirements. See Section 2.4.2.2 for more informa­tion. Calibration can not be initiated or run while the device is in the power-down mode. See Section 1.1.7 for information on the interaction between Power Down and Calibration.
In normal operation, calibration is performed just after appli­cation of power and whenever a valid calibration command is given, which is holding the CAL pin low for at least 80 input clock cycles, then hold it high for at least another 80 input clock cycles. The time taken by the calibration procedure is specified in the A.C. Characteristics Table. Holding the CAL pin high upon power up will prevent the calibration process from running until the CAL pin experiences the above-men­tioned 80 input clock cycles low followed by 80 cycles high.
CalDly (pin 127) is used to select one of two delay times after the application of power to the start of calibration. This cali­bration delay is 225 input clock cycles (about 22 ms at 3
A
GSPS) with CalDly low, or 231 input clock cycles (about 1.4 seconds at 3 GSPS) with CalDly high. These delay values allow the power supply to come up and stabilize before cali­bration takes place. If the PD pin is high upon power-up, the calibration delay counter will be disabled until the PD pin is brought low. Therefore, holding the PD pin high during power up will further delay the start of the power-up calibration cycle. The best setting of the CalDly pin depends upon the power­on settling time of the power supply.
Calibration Operation Notes:
During the calibration cycle, the OR output may be active as a result of the calibration algorithm. All data on the output pins and the OR output are invalid during the calibration cycle.
During the power-up calibration and during the on­command calibration when Resistor Trim Disable (address: 1h, bit 13) is not active (0b) , all clocks are halted on chip, including internal clocks and DCLK, while the input termination resistor is trimmed to a value that is equal to R
/ 33. This is to reduce noise during the input

resistor calibration portion of the calibration cycle. See Section 2.4.2.2 for information on maintaining DCLK operation during on-command calibration. This external resistor is located between pin 32 and ground. R input termination resistor is trimmed to be 100 . Because R

procedure is running. This is true whether the calibration is done at power-up or on-command.

1.1.2 Acquiring the Input

Data is acquired at the rising and falling edge of CLK+ (pin
10) and the digital equivalent of that data is available at the digital outputs 13 input clock cycles later for the Dd output bus, 13.5 input clock cycles later for Dc output bus, 14 input clock cycles later for the Db output bus and 14.5 input clock cycles later for the Da output bus. See Table 1. There is an additional internal delay called tOD before the data is available at the outputs. See Figure 3 and Figure 4. The ADC083000 will convert as long as the input clock signal is present. The fully differential comparator design and the innovative design of the sample-and-hold amplifier, together with calibration, enables a very flat SINAD/ENOB response beyond 1.5 GHz. The ADC083000 output data signaling is LVDS and the output format is offset binary.

1.1.3 Control Modes

Much of the user control can be accomplished with several control pins that are provided. Examples include initiation of the calibration cycle, power down mode and full scale range setting. However, the ADC083000 also provides an Extended
www.national.com 22
ADC083000
Control mode whereby a serial interface is used to access register-based control of several advanced features. The Ex­tended Control mode is not intended to be enabled and disabled dynamically. Rather, the user is expected to employ either the normal control mode or the Extended Control mode at all times. When the device is in the Extended Control mode, pin-based control of several features is replaced with register­based control and those pin-based controls are disabled. These pins are OutV (pin 3), OutEdge/DDR (pin 4), FSR (pin
14). See Section 1.2 for details on the Extended Control mode.

1.1.4 The Analog Inputs

The ADC083000 must be driven with a differential input sig­nal. Operation with a single-ended signal is not recommend­ed. It is important that the input signals are either a.c. coupled to the inputs with the V the V equal to the V is used.

1.1.5 Clocking

The ADC083000 sampling clock (CLK+/CLK-) must be driven with an a.c. coupled, differential clock signal. Section 2.3 de-
scribes the use of the clock input pins. A differential LVDS output clock (DCLK) is available for use in latching the ADC output data into whatever device is used to receive the data.
The ADC083000 offers options for CLK+/CLK- and DCLK clocking. For DCLK, the clock edge on which output data transitions, and a choice of Single Data Rate (SDR) or Double Data Rate (DDR) outputs are available.
The sampling clock CLK has optional duty cycle correction as part of its circuit. This feature is enabled by default and pro­vides improved ADC clocking. This circuitry allows the ADC to be clocked with a signal source having a duty cycle ratio of 80 / 20 % (worst case).
1.1.5.1 Output Demultiplexer
The ADC083000 utilizes both the rising and falling edge of the input clock resulting in the overall sample rate being twice the input clock frequency, or 3GSPS with a 1.5 GHz input clock. The demultiplexer outputs data on each of the four output busses at 750MHz with a 1.5GHz input clock.
All data is available in parallel at the output. The four bytes of parallel data that are output with each clock is in the following sampling order, from the earliest to the latest: Da, Db, Dc, Dd. Table 1 indicates what the outputs represent for the various sampling possibilities.
The ADC083000 includes an automatic clock phase back­ground calibration feature which automatically and continu­ously adjusts the phase of the ADC input clock. This feature removes the need to manually adjust the clock phase and provides optimal ENOB performance.
TABLE 1. Input Channel Samples Produced at Data Outputs
Data Outputs* Input/Output Relationship
Dd ADC1 sampled with the fall of CLK, 13 cycles earlier
Db ADC1 sampled with the fall of CLK, 14 cycles earlier
Dc ADC2 sampled with the rise of CLK, 13.5 cycles earlier
Da ADC2 sampled with the rise of CLK, 14.5 cycles earlier
* Always sourced with respect to fall of DCLK
1.1.5.2 OutEdge Setting
To help ease data capture in the SDR mode, the output data may be caused to transition on either the positive or the neg­ative edge of the output data clock (DCLK). This is chosen with the OutEdge input (pin 4). A high on the OutEdge input pin causes the output data to transition on the rising edge of DCLK, while grounding this input causes the output to transi­tion on the falling edge of DCLK. See Section 2.4.3.
1.1.5.3 Double Data Rate
A choice of single data rate (SDR) or double data rate (DDR) output is offered. When the device is in DDR mode, address 1h, bit-8 must be set to 0b. With single data rate the output clock (DCLK) frequency is the same as the data rate of the two output buses. With double data rate the DCLK frequency is half the data rate and data is sent to the outputs on both edges of DCLK. DDR clocking is enabled in non-Extended Control mode by allowing pin 4 to float.

1.1.6 The LVDS Outputs

The data outputs, the Out Of Range (OR) and DCLK, are LVDS. Output current sources provide 3 mA of output current to a differential 100 Ohm load when the OutV input (pin 3) is high or 2.2 mA when the OutV input is low. For short LVDS
lines and low noise systems, satisfactory performance may be realized with the OutV input low, which results in lower power consumption. If the LVDS lines are long and/or the system in which the ADC083000 is used is noisy, it may be necessary to tie the OutV pin high.
The LVDS data outputs have a typical common mode voltage of 800mV when the VBG pin is unconnected and floating. This common mode voltage can be increased to 1.150V by tying the VBG pin to VA if a higher common mode is required.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Tying the VBG pin to VA will also in- crease the differential LVDS output voltage (VOD) by up to 40mV.

1.1.7 Power Down

The ADC083000 is in the active state when the Power Down pin (PD) is low. When the PD pin is high, the device is in the power down mode. In this power down mode the data output pins (positive and negative) including DCLK+/- and OR +/- are put into a high impedance state and the devices power con­sumption is reduced to a minimal level.
If the PD input is brought high while a calibration is running, the device will not go into power down until the calibration sequence is complete. However, if power is applied and PD
23 www.national.com
is already high, the device will not begin the calibration se­quence until the PD input goes low. If a manual calibration is requested while the device is powered down, the calibration will not begin at all. That is, the manual calibration input is completely ignored in the power down state.

1.3 THE SERIAL INTERFACE

The 3-pin serial interface is enabled only when the device is in the Extended Control mode. The pins of this interface are Serial Clock (SCLK), Serial Data (SDATA) and Serial Inter­face Chip Select (SCS) Eight write only registers are acces­sible through this serial interface.
SCS: This signal should be asserted low while accessing a register through the serial interface. Setup and hold times with respect to the SCLK must be observed.
SCLK: Serial data input is accepted with the rising edge of this signal.
SDATA: Each register access requires a specific 32-bit pat­tern at this input. This pattern consists of a header, register address and register value. The data is shifted in MSB first. Setup and hold times with respect to the SCLK must be ob­served. SeeFigure 9.
Each Register access consists of 32 bits, as shown in Figure 9 of the Timing Diagrams. The fixed header pattern is 0000 0000 0001 (eleven zeros followed by a 1). The loading se­quence is such that a "0" is loaded first. These 12 bits form the header. The next 4 bits are the address of the register that
is to be written to and the last 16 bits are the data written to the addressed register. The addresses of the various regis­ters are indicated in Table 4.
Refer to the Register Description (Section 1.4) for information on the data to be written to the registers.
Subsequent register accesses may be performed immediate­ly, starting with the 33rd SCLK. This means that the SCS input does not have to be de-asserted and asserted again between register addresses. It is possible, although not recommended, to keep the SCS input permanently enabled (at a logic low) when using extended control.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Serial Interface should not be used when calibrating the ADC. Doing so will impair the perfor­mance of the device until it is re-calibrated correctly. Pro­gramming the serial registers will also reduce dynamic performance of the ADC for the duration of the register access time.

1.4.1 Note Regarding Extended Mode Offset Correction

When using the Offset Adjust register, the following informa­tion should be noted.
For offset values of +0000 0000 and -0000 0000, the actual
ADC083000
offset is not the same. By changing only the sign bit in this case, an offset step in the digital output code of about 1/10th of an LSB is experienced. This is shown more clearly in the Figure below.
FIGURE 10. Extended Mode Offset Behavior

1.5 MULTIPLE ADC SYNCHRONIZATION

The ADC083000 has the capability to precisely reset its sam­pling clock (CLK) to synchronize its output clock (DCLK) and data with multiple ADCs in a system. This allows multiple AD­Cs in a system to have their DCLK (and data) outputs transi­tion at the same time with respect to the shared CLK input that they all use for sampling.
The ADC083000 has been designed to accommodate sys­tems which require a single-ended (LVCMOS) DCLK_RST or a differential (LVDS) DCLK_RST.
Single-Ended (LVCMOS) DCLK_RST: The Power on Reset state of DCLK_RST is to have single-ended DCLK_RST ac­tivated. Bit 14, (DRE) in the Configuration Register is asserted low, 0b. When not using singled-ended DCLK_RST, the input should be grounded.
Differential (LVDS) DCLK_RST: Activated by asserting bit 14, (DRE) in the configuration register high, 1b. When the dif-
20193230
ferential DCLK_RST is not activated, the inputs should be grounded. Differential DCLK_RST has an internal 100 ohm termination resistor and should not be AC coupled.
The DCLK_RST signal must observe some timing require­ments that are shown in Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7 of the Timing Diagrams. The DCLK_RST pulse must be of a mini­mum width and its deassertion edge must observe setup and hold times with respect to the CLK input rising edge. These times are specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics Table.
The DCLK_RST signal can be asserted asynchronous to the input clock. If DCLK_RST is asserted, the DCLK output is held in a designated state. The state in which DCLK is held during the reset period is determined by the mode of operation (SDR/ DDR) and the setting of the Output Edge configuration pin or bit. (Refer to Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7 for the DCLK reset state conditions). Therefore, depending upon when the DCLK_RST signal is asserted, there may be a narrow pulse on the DCLK line during this reset event. When the DCLK_RST signal is de-asserted in synchronization with the CLK rising edge, the next CLK falling edge synchronizes the DCLK output with those of other ADC083000s in the system. The DCLK output is enabled again after a constant delay (rel­ative to the input clock frequency) which is equal to the CLK input to DCLK output delay (tSD). The device always exhibits this delay characteristic in normal operation.
If the device is not programmed to allow DCLK to run contin­uously, DCLK will become inactive during a calibration cycle. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that DCLK only be used as a data capture clock and not as a system clock.
The DCLK_RST pin should NOT be brought high while the calibration process is running (while CalRun is high). Doing so could cause a digital glitch in the digital circuitry, resulting in corruption and invalidation of the calibration.

1.6 ADC TEST PATTERN

To aid in system debug, the ADC083000 has the capability of providing a test pattern at the four output ports completely independent of the input signal. The test pattern is selected by setting bit-11 (TPO) in the Test Pattern Register (address Fh). The test pattern will appear at the digital output about 10 DCLK cycles after the last write to the Test Pattern Register.
The ADC is disengaged and a test pattern generator is con­nected to the outputs including OR. Each port is given a unique 8-bit word, alternating between 1's and 0's as de­scribed in theTable 5.

2.0 Applications Information

2.1 THE REFERENCE VOLTAGE

The voltage reference for the ADC083000 is derived from a
1.254V bandgap reference, a buffered version of which is made available at pin 31, VBG for user convenience and has an output current capability of ±100 μA. This reference volt­age should be buffered if more current is required.
The internal bandgap-derived reference voltage has a nomi­nal value of 600 mV or 820 mV, as determined by the FSR pin and described in Section 1.1.4.
There is no provision for the use of an external reference volt­age, but the full-scale input voltage can be adjusted through a Configuration Register in the Extended Control mode, as explained in Section 1.2.
Differential input signals up to the chosen full-scale level will be digitized to 8 bits. Signal excursions beyond the full-scale range will be clipped at the output. These large signal excur­sions will also activate the OR output for the time that the signal is out of range. See Section 2.2.2.
One extra feature of the VBG pin is that it can be used to raise the common mode voltage level of the LVDS outputs. The output offset voltage (VOS) is typically 800mV when the V pin is used as an output or left unconnected. To raise the LVDS offset voltage to a typical value of 1150mV the VBG pin can be connected directly to the supply rails.

2.2 THE ANALOG INPUT

The analog input is a differential one to which the signal source may be a.c. coupled or d.c. coupled. The full-scale input range is selected with the FSR pin to be 600 mV 820 mV 560 mV through the Serial Interface. For best performance, it is rec-

Table 6 gives the input to output relationship with the FSR pin high and the normal (non-extended) mode is used. With the FSR pin grounded, the millivolt values in Table 6 are reduced to 75% of the values indicated. In the Enhanced Control Mode, these values will be determined by the full scale range and offset settings in the Control Registers.

The buffered analog inputs simplify the task of driving these inputs and the RC pole that is generally used at sampling ADC inputs is not required. If it is desired to use an amplifier circuit before the ADC, use care in choosing an amplifier with ade­quate noise and distortion performance and adequate gain at the frequencies used for the application.

2.2.1 Handling Single-Ended Input Signals

There is no provision for the ADC083000 to adequately pro­cess single-ended input signals. The best way to handle single-ended signals is to convert them to differential signals before presenting them to the ADC.

2.2.1.1 A.C. Coupled Input

The easiest way to accomplish single-ended a.c. input to dif­ferential a.c. signal is with an appropriate balun-connected transformer, as shown in Figure 12.
20193243
FIGURE 12. Single-Ended to Differential signal
conversion with a balun-connected transformer
Figure 12 is a generic depiction of a single-ended to differen­tial signal conversion using a balun. The circuitry specific to the balun will depend on the type of balun selected and the overall board layout. It is recommended that the system de­signer contact the manufacturer of the balun they have se­lected to aid in designing the best performing single-ended to differential conversion circuit using that particular balun.
29 www.national.com
When selecting a balun, it is important to understand the input of the ADC. The ADC083000 has an on-chip 100 Ohm differ­ential input termination resistor. The range of this input ter­mination resistor is described in the electrical table as the specification RIN. Also, as a result of the ADC architecture,
ADC083000
the phase and amplitude balance are critical. The lowest pos­sible phase and amplitude imbalance is desired when select­ing a balun. The ADC can tolerate no more than ±2.5° of phase imbalance and the amplitude imbalance should be lim­ited to less than 1dB at the desired input frequency. Since the ADC architecture is based on interleaving, if the phase and amplitude imbalance are greater than what the ADC can tol­erate, interleaving spurs will appear in the FFT spectrum and degrade the dynamic performance of the device. Finally, when selecting a balun, the VSWR and insertion loss of the balun should also be considered. The VSWR aids in deter­mining the overall transmission line termination capability of the balun when interfacing to the ADC input. The insertion loss should be considered so that the signal at the balun out­put is within the specified input range of the ADC as described in the electrical table as the specification VIN.

2.2.1.2 D.C. Coupled Input

When d.c. coupling to the ADC083000 analog inputs is re­quired, single-ended to differential conversion may be easily accomplished with the LMH6555. An example of this type of circuit is shown in Figure 13. In such applications, the LMH6555 performs the task of single-ended to differential conversion while delivering low distortion and noise, as well as output balance, that supports the operation of the ADC083000. Connecting the ADC083000 V V will ensure that the common mode input voltage is as needed

2.2.2 Out Of Range (OR) Indication

When the conversion result is clipped the Out of Range output is activated such that OR+ goes high and OR- goes low. This output is active as long as accurate data on either or both of the buses would be outside the range of 00h to FFh. During a calibration cycle, the OR output is invalid. Refer to 1.1 OVERVIEW for more details.

2.2.3 Full-Scale Input Range

As with all A/D Converters, the input range is determined by the value of the ADC's reference voltage. The reference volt­age of the ADC083000 is derived from an internal band-gap reference. In the normal mode, the FSR pin controls the ef­fective reference voltage of the ADC083000 such that the differential full-scale input range at the analog inputs is 820 mV
with the FSR pin high, or is 600 mV
P-P
low. In the Extended Control Mode, the Full Scale Range can

P-P
be set anywhere from 560mV to 840mV. Best SNR is ob­tained with higher Full Scale Ranges, but better distortion and SFDR are obtained with lower Full Scale Ranges. The LMH6555 of Figure 13 is suitable for any Full Scale Range.

2.3 THE SAMPLE CLOCK INPUT

The ADC083000 has a differential LVDS clock input, CLK+ / CLK-, which must be driven with an a.c. coupled, differential clock signal. Although the ADC083000 is tested and its per­formance is guaranteed with a differential 1.5 GHz clock, it typically will function well with input clock frequencies indicat­ed in the Electrical Characteristics Table. The clock inputs are internally terminated and biased. The input clock signal must be capacitively coupled to the clock pins as indicated in Figure
14. Operation up to the sample rates indicated in the Electrical
Characteristics Table is typically possible if the maximum am­bient temperatures indicated are not exceeded. Operating at higher sample rates than indicated for the given ambient tem­perature may result in reduced device reliability and product lifetime. This is because of the higher power consumption and die temperatures at high sample rates. Important also for re­liability is proper thermal management . See Section 2.6.2.

FIGURE 14. Differential Sample Clock Connection

ADC083000
The differential sample clock line pair should have a charac­teristic impedance of 100 and (when using a balun), be terminated at the clock source in that (100) characteristic impedance. The input clock line should be as short and as direct as possible. The ADC083000 clock input is internally terminated with an untrimmed 100 resistor.
Insufficient input clock levels will result in poor dynamic per­formance. Excessively high input clock levels could cause a change in the analog input offset voltage. To avoid these problems, keep the input clock level within the range specified in the Electrical Characteristics Table.
The low and high times of the input clock signal can affect the performance of any A/D Converter. The ADC083000 features a duty cycle clock correction circuit which can maintain per­formance over temperature. The ADC will meet its perfor­mance specification if the input clock high and low times are maintained within the range (20/80% ratio) as specified in the Electrical Characteristics Table.
High speed, high performance ADCs such as the ADC083000 require a very stable input clock signal with minimum phase noise or jitter. ADC jitter requirements are defined by the ADC resolution (number of bits), maximum ADC input frequency and the input signal amplitude relative to the ADC input full scale range. The maximum jitter (the sum of the jitter from all sources) allowed to prevent a jitter-induced reduction in SNR is found to be

Note that the maximum jitter described above is the arithmetic sum of the jitter from all sources, including that in the ADC input clock, that added by the system to the ADC input clock and input signals and that added by the ADC itself. Since the effective jitter added by the ADC is beyond user control, the best the user can do is to keep the sum of the externally added input clock jitter and the jitter added by the analog circuitry to the analog signal to a minimum.
Input clock amplitudes above those specified in the Electrical Characteristics Table may result in increased input offset volt­age. This would cause the converter to produce an output code other than the expected 127/128 when both input pins are at the same potential.

2.3.1 Manual Sample Clock Phase Adjust

The sample clock phase can be manually adjusted in the Ex­tended Control Mode to accommodate subtle layout differ­ences when synchronizing multiple ADCs. Register address­es Dh and Eh provide extended mode access to fine and coarse adjustments. Use of Low Frequency Sample Clock control, (register Eh; bit-10) is not supported while using man­ual sample clock phase adjustments.
It should be noted that by just enabling the phase adjust ca­pability (register Eh; bit-15), degradation of dynamic perfor­mance is expected, specifically SFDR. It is intended that very small adjustments are used. Larger increases in phase ad­justments will begin to affect SNR and ultimately ENOB. Therefore, the use of coarse phase adjustment should be minimized in favor of better system design.

2.4 CONTROL PINS

Six control pins (without the use of the serial interface) provide a wide range of possibilities in the operation of the ADC083000 and facilitate its use. These control pins provide Full-Scale Input Range setting, Calibration, Calibration Delay, Output Edge Synchronization choice, LVDS Output Level choice and a Power Down feature.

2.4.2 Calibration

The ADC083000 calibration must be run to achieve specified performance. The calibration procedure is run upon power-up and can be run any time on command. The calibration pro­cedure is exactly the same whether there is an input clock present upon power up or if the clock begins some time after application of power. The CalRun output indicator is high while a calibration is in progress. Note that the DCLK outputs are not active during a calibration cycle, therefore it is not recommended as a system clock.
31 www.national.com
2.4.2.1 Power-On Calibration
Power-on calibration begins after a time delay following the application of power. This time delay is determined by the setting of CalDly, as described in the Calibration Delay Sec-
ADC083000
tion, below. The calibration process will be not be performed if the CAL
pin is high at power up. In this case, the calibration cycle will not begin until the on-command calibration conditions are met. The ADC083000 will function with the CAL pin held high at power up, but no calibration will be done and performance will be impaired. A manual calibration, however, may be per­formed after powering up with the CAL pin high. See On­Command Calibration Section 2.4.2.2.
The internal power-on calibration circuitry comes up in an un­known logic state. If the input clock is not running at power up and the power on calibration circuitry is active, it will hold the analog circuitry in power down and the power consumption will typically be less than 25 mW. The power consumption will be normal after the clock starts.
2.4.2.2 On-Command Calibration
To initiate an on-command calibration, bring the CAL pin high for a minimum of 80 input clock cycles after it has been low for a minimum of 80 input clock cycles. Holding the CAL pin high upon power up will prevent execution of power-on cali­bration until the CAL pin is low for a minimum of 80 input clock cycles, then brought high for a minimum of another 80 input clock cycles. The calibration cycle will begin 80 input clock cycles after the CAL pin is thus brought high. The CalRun signal should be monitored to determine when the calibration cycle has completed.
The minimum 80 input clock cycle sequences are required to ensure that random noise does not cause a calibration to be­gin when it is not desired. As mentioned in section 1.1 for best performance, a calibration should be performed 20 seconds or more after power up and repeated when the operating temperature changes significantly relative to the specific sys­tem design performance requirements. ENOB changes slightly with increasing junction temperature and can be easily corrected by performing an on-command calibration.
Considerations for a continuous DCLK and proper CalRun operation:
During a Power-On calibration cycle, both the ADC and the input termination resistor are calibrated. As ENOB changes slightly with junction temperature, an On­Command calibration can be executed to bring the performance of the ADC inline. By default, On-Command calibration includes calibrating the input termination resistance and the ADC. However, since the input termination resistance changes marginally with temperature, the user has the option to disable the input termination resistor trim (address: 1h, bit: 13, set to 1b), which will guarantee that the DCLK is continuously present at the output during calibration. The Resistor Trim Disable can be programmed in register (address: 1h, bit 13) when in the Extended Control mode. Refer to section 1.4 for register programming information.
When an on-command calibration is requested while using the Aperture Adjust Circuitry through the Extended Control Mode registers, we recommend that the Resistor Trim Disable bit be disabled (address: 1h, bit: 13, set to 1b). This allows continuous operation of all clocks in the ADC including DCLK and proper operation of CalRun output. The Aperture Adjust Circuitry control is resident in the
Extended Control Mode registers (addresses: Dh and Eh). Refer to section 1.4 for register programming information.
2.4.2.3 Calibration Delay
The CalDly input (pin 127) is used to select one of two delay times after the application of power to the start of calibration, as described in Section 1.1.1. The calibration delay values allow the power supply to come up and stabilize before cali­bration takes place. With no delay or insufficient delay, cali­bration would begin before the power supply is stabilized at its operating value and result in non-optimal calibration coef­ficients. If the PD pin is high upon power-up, the calibration delay counter will be disabled until the PD pin is brought low. Therefore, holding the PD pin high during power up will further delay the start of the power-up calibration cycle. The best setting of the CalDly pin depends upon the power-on settling time of the power supply.
Note that the calibration delay selection is not possible in the Extended Control mode and the short delay time is used.

2.4.3 Output Edge Synchronization

DCLK signals are available to help latch the converter output data into external circuitry. The output data can be synchro­nized with either edge of these DCLK signals. That is, the output data transition can be set to occur with either the rising edge or the falling edge of the DCLK signal, so that either edge of that DCLK signal can be used to latch the output data into the receiving circuit.
When OutEdge (pin 4) is high, the output data is synchronized with (changes with) the rising edge of the DCLK+ (pin 82). When OutEdge is low, the output data is synchronized with the falling edge of DCLK+.
At the very high speeds of which the ADC083000 is capable, slight differences in the lengths of the DCLK and data lines can mean the difference between successful and erroneous data capture. The OutEdge pin is used to capture data on the DCLK edge that best suits the application circuit and layout.

2.4.4 LVDS Output Level Control

The output level can be set to one of two levels with OutV (pin3). The strength of the output drivers is greater with OutV high. With OutV low there is less power consumption in the output drivers, but the lower output level means decreased noise immunity.
For short LVDS lines and low noise systems, satisfactory per­formance may be realized with the OutV input low. If the LVDS lines are long and/or the system in which the ADC083000 is used is noisy, it may be necessary to tie the OutV pin high.

2.4.5 Power Down Feature

The Power Down pin (PD) allows the ADC083000 to be en­tirely powered down. See Section 1.1.7 for details on the power down feature.
The digital data (+/-) output pins are put into a high impedance state when the PD pin for the respective channel is high. Upon return to normal operation, the pipeline will contain meaning­less information and must be flushed.
If the PD input is brought high while a calibration is running, the device will not go into power down until the calibration sequence is complete. However, if power is applied and PD is already high, the device will not begin the calibration se­quence until the PD input goes low. If a manual calibration is requested while the device is powered down, the calibration will not begin at all. That is, the manual calibration input is completely ignored in the power down state.

2.5 THE DIGITAL OUTPUTS

The ADC083000 demultiplexes the output data of each of the two ADCs on the die onto two LVDS output buses (total of four buses, two for each ADC). For each of the two converters, the results of successive conversions start on the falling edges of the CLK+ pin and are available on one of the two LVDS buses. The results of conversions that start on the ris­ing edges of the CLK+ pin are available on the other LVDS bus. This means that, the word rate at each LVDS bus is 1/2 the ADC083000 input clock rate and the two buses must be multiplexed to obtain the entire 3 GSPS conversion result.
Since the minimum recommended input clock rate for this device is 500 MHz, the sampling rate can be reduced to as low as 1 GSPS by using the results available on all four LVDS busses. The effective sampling rate can be reduced to as low as 250 MSPS by decimating the data by the use of one bus.
There is one LVDS output clock pair (DCLK+/-) available for use to latch the LVDS outputs on all buses. Whether the data is sent at the rising or falling edge of DCLK is determined by the sense of the OutEdge pin, as described in Section 2.4.3.
DDR (Double Data Rate) clocking can also be used. In this mode a word of data is presented with each edge of DCLK, reducing the DCLK frequency to 1/4 the input clock frequency. When the device is in DDR mode, address 1h, bit-8 must be set to 0b. See the Timing Diagram section for details.
The OutV pin is used to set the LVDS differential output levels. See Section 2.4.4.
The output format is Offset Binary. Accordingly, a full-scale input level with VIN+ positive with respect to VIN− will produce an output code of all ones, a full-scale input level with VIN− positive with respect to VIN+ will produce an output code of all zeros and when VIN+ and VIN− are equal, the output code will vary between codes 127 and 128.

2.6 POWER CONSIDERATIONS

A/D converters draw sufficient transient current to corrupt their own power supplies if not adequately bypassed. A 33 µF capacitor should be placed within an inch (2.5 cm) of the A/D converter power pins. A 0.1 µF capacitor should be placed as close as possible to each VA pin, preferably within one-half centimeter. Leadless chip capacitors are preferred because they have low lead inductance.
The VA and VDR supply pins should be isolated from each other to prevent any digital noise from being coupled into the analog portions of the ADC. A ferrite choke, such as the JW Miller FB20009-3B, is recommended between these supply lines when a common source is used for them.
As is the case with all high speed converters, the ADC083000 should be assumed to have little power supply noise rejection. Any power supply used for digital circuitry in a system where a lot of digital power is being consumed should not be used to supply power to the ADC083000. The ADC supplies should be the same supply used for other analog circuitry, if not a dedicated supply.

2.6.1 Supply Voltage

The ADC083000 is specified to operate with a supply voltage of 1.9V ±0.1V. It is very important to note that, while this de­vice will function with slightly higher supply voltages, these higher supply voltages may reduce product lifetime.
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of the supply voltage or below ground by more than 150 mV, not even on a transient basis. This can be a problem upon appli­cation of power and power shut-down. Be sure that the sup­plies to circuits driving any of the input pins, analog or digital,
do not come up any faster than does the voltage at the ADC083000 power pins.
The Absolute Maximum Ratings should be strictly observed, even during power up and power down. A power supply that produces a voltage spike at turn-on and/or turn-off of power can destroy the ADC083000. The circuit of Figure 15 will pro­vide supply overshoot protection.
Many linear regulators will produce output spiking at power­on unless there is a minimum load provided. Active devices draw very little current until their supply voltages reach a few hundred millivolts. The result can be a turn-on spike that can destroy the ADC083000, unless a minimum load is provided for the supply. The 100 resistor at the regulator output pro­vides a minimum output current during power-up to ensure there is no turn-on spiking. Whether a linear or switching reg­ulator is used, it is advisable to provide a slow start circuit to prevent overshoot of the supply.
In the circuit of Figure 15, an LM317 linear regulator is satis­factory if its input supply voltage is 4V to 5V . If a 3.3V supply is used, an LM1086 linear regulator is recommended.
20193254
FIGURE 15. Non-Spiking Power Supply
The output drivers should have a supply voltage, VDR, that is within the range specified in the Operating Ratings table. This voltage should not exceed the VA supply voltage and should never spike to a voltage greater than ( VA + 100mV).
If the power is applied to the device without an input clock signal present, the current drawn by the device might be be­low 200 mA. This is because the ADC083000 gets reset through clocked logic and its initial state is unknown. If the reset logic comes up in the "on" state, it will cause most of the analog circuitry to be powered down, resulting in less than 100 mA of current draw. This current is greater than the power down current because not all of the ADC is powered down. The device current will be normal after the input clock is es­tablished.

2.6.2 Thermal Management

The ADC083000 is capable of impressive speeds and per­formance at very low power levels for its speed. However, the power consumption is still high enough to require attention to thermal management. For reliability reasons, the die temper­ature should be kept to a maximum of 130°C. That is, T (ambient temperature) plus ADC power consumption times
θJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance) should not ex-
ceed 130°C. This is not a problem if the ambient temperature is kept to a maximum of +85°C as specified in the Operating Ratings section.
Please note that the following are general recommendations for mounting exposed pad devices onto a PCB. This should be considered the starting point in PCB and assembly pro­cess development. It is recommended that the process be developed based upon past experience in package mounting.
The package of the ADC083000 has an exposed pad on its back that provides the primary heat removal path as well as
A
33 www.national.com
excellent electrical grounding to the printed circuit board. The land pattern design for lead attachment to the PCB should be the same as for a conventional LQFP, but the exposed pad must be attached to the board to remove the maximum amount of heat from the package, as well as to ensure best
ADC083000
product parametric performance. To maximize the removal of heat from the package, a thermal
land pattern must be incorporated on the PC board within the footprint of the package. The exposed pad of the device must be soldered down to ensure adequate heat conduction out of the package. The land pattern for this exposed pad should be at least as large as the 5 x 5 mm of the exposed pad of the package and be located such that the exposed pad of the device is entirely over that thermal land pattern. This thermal land pattern should be electrically connected to ground. A clearance of at least 0.5 mm should separate this land pattern from the mounting pads for the package pins.
FIGURE 16. Recommended Package Land Pattern
Since a large aperture opening may result in poor release, the aperture opening should be subdivided into an array of small­er openings, similar to the land pattern of Figure 16.
To minimize junction temperature, it is recommended that a simple heat sink be built into the PCB. This is done by includ­ing a copper area of about 2 square inches (6.5 square cm) on the opposite side of the PCB. This copper area may be plated or solder coated to prevent corrosion, but should not have a conformal coating, which could provide some thermal insulation. Thermal vias should be used to connect these top and bottom copper areas. These thermal vias act as "heat pipes" to carry the thermal energy from the device side of the board to the opposite side of the board where it can be more effectively dissipated. The use of 9 to 16 thermal vias is rec­ommended.
The thermal vias should be placed on a 1.2 mm grid spacing and have a diameter of 0.30 to 0.33 mm. These vias should be barrel plated to avoid solder wicking into the vias during the soldering process as this wicking could cause voids in the solder between the package exposed pad and the thermal land on the PCB. Such voids could increase the thermal re­sistance between the device and the thermal land on the board, which would cause the device to run hotter.
If it is desired to monitor die temperature, a temperature sen­sor may be mounted on the heat sink area of the board near the thermal vias. Allow for a thermal gradient between the temperature sensor and the ADC083000 die of θ typical power consumption = 2.8 x 1.9 = 5.3°C. Allowing for
6.3°C, including some margin for temperature drop from the pad to the temperature sensor, then, would mean that main-

J-PAD
times
taining a maximum pad temperature reading of 123.7°C will ensure that the die temperature does not exceed 130°C, as­suming that the exposed pad of the ADC083000 is properly soldered down and the thermal vias are adequate. (The in­accuracy of the temperature sensor is additional to the above calculation).

2.7 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING

Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essen­tial to ensure accurate conversion. A single ground plane should be used, instead of splitting the ground plane into ana­log and digital areas.
Since digital switching transients are composed largely of high frequency components, the skin effect tells us that total ground plane copper weight will have little effect upon the logic-generated noise. Total surface area is more important than is total ground plane volume. Coupling between the typ­ically noisy digital circuitry 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 well separated from the digital circuitry.
High power digital components should not be located on or near any linear component or power supply trace or plane that services analog or mixed signal components as the resulting common return current path could cause fluctuation in the analog input “ground” return of the ADC, causing excessive noise in the conversion result.
Generally, we assume that analog and digital lines should cross each other at 90° to avoid getting digital noise into the analog path. In high frequency systems, however, avoid crossing analog and digital lines altogether. The input clock lines should be isolated from ALL other lines, analog AND digital. The generally accepted 90° crossing should be avoid­ed as even a little coupling can cause problems at high frequencies. Best performance at high frequencies is ob­tained with a straight signal path.
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. This is especially important with the low level drive required of the ADC083000. 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. All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, etc.) should be separated from any digital components.

2.8 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

The ADC083000 is a.c. tested and its dynamic performance is guaranteed. To meet the published specifications and avoid jitter-induced noise, the clock source driving the CLK input must exhibit low rms jitter. The allowable jitter is a function of the input frequency and the input signal level, as described in Section 2.3.
It is good practice to keep the ADC input clock line as short as possible, to keep it well away from any other signals and to treat it as a transmission line. Other signals can introduce jitter into the input clock signal. The clock signal can also in­troduce noise into the analog path if not isolated from that path.
Best dynamic performance is obtained when the exposed pad at the back of the package has a good connection to ground. This is because this path from the die to ground is a lower impedance than offered by the package pins.

2.9 USING THE SERIAL INTERFACE

The ADC083000 may be operated in the non-extended con­trol (non-Serial Interface) mode or in the extended control

ADC083000
mode. Table 8 and Table 9 describe the functions of pins 3, 4, 14 and 127 in the non-extended control mode and the ex­tended control mode, respectively.

2.9.1 Non-Extended Control Mode Operation

Non-extended control mode operation means that the Serial Interface is not active and all controllable functions are con­trolled with various pin settings. That is, the output voltage, full-scale range and output edge selections are all controlled with pin settings. The non-extended control mode is used by setting pin 14 high or low, as opposed to letting it float. Table 8 indicates the pin functions of the ADC083000 in the non­extended control mode.

Pin 3 can be either high or low in the non-extended control mode. Pin 14 must not be left floating to select this mode. See Section 1.2 for more information.
Pin 4 can be high or low or can be left floating in the non­extended control mode. In the non-extended control mode, pin 4 high or low defines the edge at which the output data transitions. See Section 2.4.3 for more information. If this pin is floating, the output clock (DCLK) is a DDR (Double Data Rate) clock (see Section 1.1.5.3) and the output edge syn­chronization is irrelevant since data is clocked out on both DCLK edges.
Pin 127, if it is high or low in the non-extended control mode, sets the calibration delay. If pin 127 is floating, the calibration delay is the same as it would be with this pin low and this pin acts as the enable pin for the serial interface input.

than 150 mV below the ground pins or 150 mV above the supply pins. Exceeding these limits on even a transient basis may not only cause faulty or erratic operation, but may impair device reliability. It is not uncommon for high speed digital circuits to exhibit undershoot that goes more than a volt below ground. Controlling the impedance of high speed lines and terminating these lines in their characteristic impedance should control overshoot.
Care should be taken not to overdrive the inputs of the ADC083000. Such practice may lead to conversion inaccu­racies and even to device damage.

Using an inadequate amplifier to drive the analog input.
Use care when choosing a high frequency amplifier to drive the ADC083000 as many high speed amplifiers will have higher distortion than will the ADC083000, resulting in overall system performance degradation.

). Over driving this pin will not change

Driving the clock input with an excessively high level signal. The ADC input clock level should not exceed the level
described in the Operating Ratings Table or the input offset could change.
Inadequate input clock levels. As described in Section 2.3, insufficient input clock levels can result in poor performance. Excessive input clock levels could result in the introduction of an input offset.
Using a clock source with excessive jitter, using an ex­cessively long input clock signal trace, or having other signals coupled to the input clock signal trace. This will
cause the sampling interval to vary, causing excessive output noise and a reduction in SNR performance.
Failure to provide adequate heat removal. As described in Section 2.6.2, it is important to provide adequate heat removal to ensure device reliability. This can either be done with ad­equate air flow or the use of a simple heat sink built into the board. The backside pad should be grounded for best perfor­mance.
