The THS1031 is a CMOS, low-power, 10-bit, 30 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that can operate with
a supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V. The THS1031 has been designed to give circuit developers flexibility. The
analog input to the THS1031 can be either single-ended or differential. This device has a built-in clamp amplifier
whose clamp input level can be driven from an external dc source or from an internal high-precision 10-bit digital
clamp level programmable via an internal CLAMP register. A 3-bit PGA is included to maintain SNR for small
signals. The THS1031 provides a wide selection of voltage references to match the user’s design requirements.
For more design flexibility, the internal reference can be bypassed to use an external reference to suit the dc
accuracy and temperature drift requirements of the application. The out-of-range output indicates any
out-of-range condition in THS1031’s input signal. The format of digital output can be coded in either unsigned
binary or 2s complement.
The speed, resolution, and single-supply operation of the THS1031 are suited to applications in set-top-box
(STB), video, multimedia, imaging, high-speed acquisition, and communications. The built-in clamp function
allows dc restoration of video signal and is suitable for video applications. The speed and resolution ideally suit
charge-couple device (CCD) input systems such as color scanners, digital copiers, digital cameras, and
camcorders. A wide input voltage range between REFBS and REFTS allows the THS1031 to be applied in both
imaging and communications systems.
The THS1031C is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, while the THS1031I is characterized for
operation from –40°C to 85°C.

CMOS ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
SLAS242E – NOVEMBER 1999 – REVISED MARCH 2002
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The analog input AIN is sampled in the sample-and-hold unit, the output of which goes to a programmable gain
amplifier (PGA). The PGA feeds the ADC core, where the process of analog to digital conversion is performed
against ADC reference voltages, REFTF and REFBF.
THS1031
Connecting the MODE pin to one of three voltages, AGND, A V
or A VDD/2 sets up operating configurations.
DD
The three settings open or close internal switches to select one of the three basic methods of ADC reference
generation.
Depending on the user’s choice of operating configuration, the ADC reference voltages may come from the
internal reference buffer (IRB) or may be fed from completely external sources. Where the reference buffer is
employed, the user can choose to drive it from the onboard reference generator (ORG), or may use an external
voltage source. A specific configuration is selected by connections to the REFSENSE, VREF, REFTS and
REFBS, and REFTF and REFBF pins, along with any external voltage sources selected by the user .
The THS1031 offers a clamp function for dc restoration of ac-coupled signals. The clamp voltage may be set
digitally via the 10-bit clamp DAC or by the analog level applied to the CLAMPIN input.
The ADC core drives out through output buffers to the I/O pins I/O0 to I/O9. The output buffers can be disabled
by the OE
pin. Control input data on I/O0 to I/O9 can then be written, by pulses on WR, to the control registers.
These registers control clamp operation, output format (unsigned binary or twos complement), the PGA gain
setting and the device power down function.
A single-ended, sample-rate clock (30 MHz maximum) is required at pin CLK. The analog input signal is
sampled on the rising edge of CLK, and corresponding data is output after the following third rising edge.
The user-chosen operating configuration and reference voltages determine what input signal voltage range the
THS1031 can handle.
The following sections explain:
D
The internal signal flow of the device, and how the input signal span is related to the ADC reference voltages;
D
The ways in which the ADC reference voltages can be buffered internally, or externally applied;
D
How to set the onboard reference generator output, if required, and several examples of complete
configurations.
D
Subsequent sections explain the clamp function and digital controls, followed by more detailed application
information.

The REFTF and REFBF voltage difference and the gain sets the device input range. The next sections describe
in detail the various methods available for setting voltages REFTF and REFBF to obtain the desired input span
and device performance.
ADC reference generation
The THS1031 has three primary modes of ADC reference generation, selected by the voltage level applied to
the MODE pin.
Connecting the MODE pin to AGND gives full external reference mode. In this mode, the user supplies the ADC
reference voltages directly to pins REFTF and REFBF. This mode is used where there is need for minimum
power drain or where there are very tight tolerances on the ADC reference voltages. This mode also offers the
possibility of Kelvin connection of the reference inputs to the THS1031 to eliminate any voltage drops from
remote references that may occur in the system. Only single-ended input is possible in this mode.
THS1031
Connecting the MODE pin to A V
/2 gives differential mode. In this mode, the ADC reference voltages REFTF
DD
and REFBF are generated by the internal reference buffer from the voltage applied to the VREF pin. This mode
is suitable for handling differentially presented inputs, which are applied to the AIN and REFTS/REFBS pins.
A special case of differential mode is center span mode, in which user applies a single-ended signal to AIN and
applies the mid-scale input voltage (VM) to the REFTS and REFBS pins.
Connecting the MODE pin to A V
gives top/bottom mode. In this mode, the ADC reference voltages REFTF
DD
and REFBF are generated by the internal reference buffer from the voltages applied to the REFTS and REFBS
pins. Only single-ended input is possible in top/bottom mode.

Figure 29 shows an example of using the clamp to restore the black level of a composite video input ac coupled

reference voltage, setting the dc voltage at AIN for the video black level.
After power up, the clamp reference voltage is the voltage on the CLAMPIN pin. This reference can instead be
taken from the internal CLAMP DAC by suitably programming the THS1031 clamp and control registers.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
power management
In power-sensitive applications (such as battery-powered systems) where the THS1031 ADC is not required
to convert continuously, power can be saved between conversion intervals by placing the THS1031 into
power-down mode. This is achieved by setting bit 3 (PWDN) of the control register to 1. In power-down mode,
the device typically consumes less than 1 mW of power in either top/bottom or center-span modes. Power-down
mode is exited by resetting control register bit 3 to 0. On power up, the THS1031 typically requires 5 ms of
wake-up time before valid conversion results are available.
In systems where the ADC must run continuously , but where the clamp is not required, setting control register
bit 6 (CLDIS to 1), which disables only the clamp circuits, can save power.
Disabling the ORG in applications where the ORG output is not required can also reduce power dissipation by
1 mA analog I
output format and digital I/O
While the OE pin is held low, ADC conversion results are output at pins I/O0 (LSB) to I/O9 (MSB). The ADC input
over-range indicator is output at pin OVR. OVR is also disabled when OE
. This is achieved by connecting the REFSENSE pin to AVDD.
DD
is held high.
The default ADC output data format is unsigned binary (output codes 0 to 1023). The output format can be
switched to 2s complement (output codes –512 to 511) by setting control register bit 5 (TWOC) to 1.
writing to the internal registers through the digital I/O bus
Pulling pin OE
high disables the I/O and OVR pin output drivers, placing the driver outputs in a high impedance
state. This allows control register data to be loaded into the THS1031 by presenting it on the I/O0 to I/O9 pins
and pulsing the WR pin high to latch the data into the chosen control or DAC register.
Figure 31 shows an example register write cycle where the clamp DAC code is set to 10F (hex) by writing to
clamp registers 1 and 2 (see the register map in Table 3). Pins I/O0 to I/O7 are driven to the clamp DAC code
lower byte (0F hex) and pins I/08 and I/O9 are both driven to 0 to select clamp register 1 as the data destination.
The clamp low-byte data is then loaded into this register by pulsing WR high. The top 2 bits of the DAC word
are then loaded by driving 01(hex) on pins I/O0 to I/O7 and by driving pin I/O8 to 1 and pin I/O9 to 0 to select
clamp register 2 as the data destination. WR is pulsed a second time to latch this second control word into clamp
register 2. Interface timing parameters are given in Figures 1 and 2.

The charging current pulses can make the AIN source jump or ring, especially if the source is slightly inductive

The charge pulses entering or leaving AIN caused by the sample and hold switched capacitor input can charge

time between clamp pulses. This effect is called clamp droop and can be seen as a slow change in the ADC
output code when the input signal is a constant dc level. Through careful clamp circuit design, this droop can
be kept below 1 LSB, giving no change in the ADC output between clamp pulses.
The clamp voltage droop is a function of the input current to the THS1031 and the time between clamp pulses,

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
clamp operation (continued)
Thus if a constant voltage is applied to the clamp input that drives the ADC output to code 1023 (with no
over-range), then the ADC output code will slowly drop to code 1022, or possibly code 1021, over the period
t
.
d
If the calculated droop is greater than can be tolerated in the application then increase C
and hence reduce the voltage change between clamp pulses.
If a high leakage capacitor is used for coupling the input source to the AIN pin then the droop may be significantly
larger than calculated above due to the capacitor’s rapid rate of self-discharge. Avoid using electrolytic and
tantalum coupling capacitors as these usually exhibit much higher leakage then nonpolarized capacitor types.
Electrolytic and tantalum capacitors also tend to have higher parasitics inductance, which can cause further
problems at high input frequencies.
steady-state clamp voltage error
Under steady-state conditions, the change in the clamp voltage caused during clamping must equal the change
caused by clamp droop, otherwise the effect causing the largest voltage change would pull the clamp voltage
away until these charging and droop effects equalize.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
driving the clock input
Obtaining good performance from the THS1031 requires care when driving the clock input.
Different sections of the sample-and-hold and ADC operate while the clock is low or high. The user should
ensure that the clock duty cycle remains near 50% to ensure that all internal circuits have as much time as
possible in which to operate.
The CLK pin should be driven from a low jitter source for best dynamic performance. To maintain low jitter at
the CLK input, any clock buffers external to the THS1031 should have fast rising edges. Use a fast logic family
such as AC or ACT to drive the CLK pin, and consider powering any clock buffers separately from any other
logic on the PCB to prevent digital supply noise appearing on the buffered clock edges as jitter.
The CLK input threshold is nominally around A VDD/2—ensure that any clock buffers have an appropriate supply
voltage to drive above and below this level.
digital output loading and circuit board layout
The THS1031 outputs are capable of driving rail-to-rail with up to 20 pF of load per pin at 30 MHz clock and 3 V
digital supply. Minimizing the load on the outputs will improve THS1031 signal-to-noise performance by
reducing the switching noise coupling from the THS1031 output buffers to the internal analog circuits. The
output load capacitance can be minimized by buffering the THS1031 digital outputs with a low input capacitance
buffer placed as close to the output pins as physically possible, and by using the shortest possible tracks
between the THS1031 and this buffer.
THS1031
Noise levels at the output buffers, and hence coupling to the analog circuits within THS1031, becomes worse
as the THS1031 digital supply voltage is increased. Where possible, consider using the lowest DV
application can tolerate.
Use good layout practices when designing the application PCB to ensure that any off-chip return currents from
the THS1031 digital outputs (and any other digital circuits on the PCB) do not return via the supplies to any
sensitive analog circuits. The THS1031 should be soldered directly to the PCB for best performance. Socketing
the device will degrade performance by adding parasitic socket inductance and capacitance to all pins.
user tips for obtaining best performance from the THS1031
D
Voltages on AIN, REFTF and REFBF and REFTS and REFBS must all be inside the supply rails.
D
ORG modes offer the simplest configurations for ADC reference generation.
D
Choose differential input mode for best distortion performance.
D
Choose a 2-V ADC input span for best noise performance.
D
Choose a 1-V ADC input span for best distortion performance.
D
If the ORG is not used to provide ADC reference voltages, its output may be used for other purposes in the
system. Care should be taken to ensure noise is not injected into the THS1031.
D
Use external voltage sources for ADC reference generation where there are stringent requirements on
accuracy and drift.
D
Drive clock input CLK from a low-jitter, fast logic stage, with a well-decoupled power supply and short PCB
traces.
