CLC5957 12-Bit, 70 MSPS Broadband Monolithic A/D Converter

General Description

The CLC5957 is a monolithic 12-bit, 70MSPS analog-to­digital converter. The device has been optimized for use in IF-sampled digital receivers and other applications where high resolution, high sampling rate, wide dynamic range, low power dissipation, and compact size are required. The CLC5957 features differential analog inputs, low jitter differ­ential universal clock inputs, a low distortion track-and-hold with 0-300MHz input bandwidth, a bandgap voltage refer­ence, data valid clock output, TTL compatible CMOS (3.3V or 2.5V) programmable output logic, and a proprietary 12-bit multi-stage quantizer. The CLC5957 is fabricated on the ABIC-V 0.8 micron BiCMOS process.
The CLC5957 features a 74dBc spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) and a 67dB signal to noise ratio (SNR). The wideband track-and-hold allows sampling of IF signals to greater than 250MHz. The part produces two-tone, dithered, SFDR of 83dBFS at 75MHz input frequency. The differential analog input provides excellent common mode rejection, while the differential universal clock inputs minimize jitter. The 48-pin TSSOP package provides an extremely small footprint for applications where space is a critical consider­ation. The CLC5957 operates from a single +5V power supply. Operation over the industrial temperature range of
-40˚C to +85˚C is guaranteed. National Semiconductor tests each part to verify compliance with the guaranteed specifi­cations.

CLC5957 Applications

Analog Inputs and Bias

CLC5957
Figure 1
the differential analog inputs are internally biased to a nomi­nal voltage of 2.40V DC through a 500resistor to a low impedance buffer. This enables a simple interface to a broadband RF transformer with a center-tapped output wind­ing that is decoupled to the analog ground. If the application requires the inputs to be DC coupled, the V used to establish the proper common-mode input voltage for the ADC. The V internal bandgap source that is very accurate and stable.

ENCODE Clock Inputs

The CLC5957’s differential input clock scheme is compatible with all commonly used clock sources. Although small differ­ential and single-ended signals are adequate, for best aper­ture jitter performance a low noise differential clock with a high slew rate is preferred. As depicted in ENCODE clock inputs are internally biased to V

Digital Outputs and Level Select

Figure 6
CLC5957. Although each of the twelve output bits uses a controlled current buffer to limit supply transients, it is rec­ommended that parasitic loading of the outputs is minimized. Because these output transients are harmonically related to the analog input signal, excessive loading will degrade ADC performance at some frequencies.
The logic high level is slaved to the internal 2.4V reference. The OUTLEV control pin selects either a 3.3V or 2.5V logic high level. An internal pull up resistor selects the 3.3V level as the default when the OUTLEV pin is left open. Grounding the OUTLEV pin selects the 2.5V logic high level.
To ease user interface to subsequent digital circuitry, the CLC5957 has a data valid clock output (DAV). In order to match delays over IC processing variables, this digital output also uses the same output buffer as the data bits. The DAV clock output is simply a delayed version of the ENCODE input clock. Since the ADC output data change is slaved to the falling edge of the ENCODE clock, the rising DAV clock edge occurs near the center of the data valid window (or eye) regardless of the sampling frequency.

Minimum Conversion Rate

ThisADC is optimized for high-speed operation. The internal bipolar track and hold circuits will cause droop errors at low sample rates. The point at which these errors cause a deg­radation of performance is listed on the specification page as the minimum conversion rate. If a lower sample rate is desired, the ADC should be clocked at a higher rate, and the output data should be decimated. For example, to obtain a 10MSPS output, the ADC should be clocked at 20MHZ, and every other output sample should be used. No significant

CLC5957 Evaluation Board

Description

The Evaluation board for the CLC5957 allows for easy test and evaluation of the product. The part may be ordered with all components loaded and tested. The order number is the CLC5957PCASM. The user supplies an analog input signal, encode signal and power to the board and is able to take latched 12-bit digital data out of the board.

ENCODE Input (ENC)

The ENCODE input is an SMA connector with a termination of 50. The encode signal is converted to an AC coupled, differential clock signal centered between V The user should supply a sinusoidal or square wave signal of
>
200mVPPand<4VPPwith a 50% duty cycle. The duty cycle can vary from 50% if the minimum clock pulse width times are observed. A low jitter source will be required for IF-sampled analog input signals to maintain best perfor­mance.

CLC5957 Clock Option

Analog Input (AIN)

The analog input is an SMA connector with a 50termina­tion. The signal is converted from single to differential by a transformer witha5to260MHz bandwidth and approxi­mately one dB loss. Full scale is approximately 11dBm or
2.2V
. It is recommended that the source for the analog
PP
input signal be low jitter,low noise and low distortion to allow for proper test and evaluation of the CLC5957.

Supply voltages (J1 pins 31 A&B and 32 A&B)

The CLC5957PCASM is powered from a single 5V supply connected from the referenced pins on the Eurocard con­nector. The recommended supplies are low noise linear supplies.

Digital Outputs (J1 pins 7B (MSB, D11) through 18B (LSB) and 20B (Data Valid))

The digital outputs are provided on the Eurocard connector. The outputs are buffered by 5V CMOS latches with 50 series output resistors. The rising edge of Data Valid may be used to clock the output data into data collection cards or logic analyzers. The board has a location for the HP 01650-63203 termination adapter for HP 16500 logic analyz­ers to simplify connection to the analyzer.
