DESCRIPTION
The THS1041 is a CMOS, low power, 10-bit, 40 MSPS
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a
single 3-V supply . The THS1041 has been designed to
give circuit developers flexibility . The analog input to the
THS1041 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
THS1041 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 THS1041’s input signal. The
format of the digital output can be coded in either
unsigned binary or 2s complement.
The speed, resolution, and single-supply operation of
the THS1041 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 a 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
allows the THS1041 to be applied in both imaging and
communications systems.
The THS1041C is characterized for operation from 0°C
to 70°C, while the THS1041I is characterized for
operation from –40°C to 85°C.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
functional overview
Refer to functional block diagram. A single-ended, sample rate clock is required at pin CLK for device operation.
Analog inputs AIN+ and AIN– are sampled on each rising edge of CLK in a switched capacitor sample and hold
unit, the output of which feeds a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) to the ADC core, where analog-to-digital
conversion is performed against the ADC reference voltages REFT and REFB.
Internal or external ADC reference voltage configurations are selected by connecting the MODE pin
appropriately . When MODE = AGND, the user must provide external sources at pins REFB and REFT. When
MODE = AV
REFT and REFB pins using the voltage at pin VREF as its input. The user can choose to drive VREF from the
internal bandgap reference, or they can disable A1 and provide their own reference voltage at pin VREF.
On the fourth rising CLK edge following the edge that sampled AIN+ and AIN–, the conversion result is output
via data pins I/O0 to I/O9. The output buffers can be disabled by pulling pin OE
device configuration data on the data pins, which are then latched into the internal control registers by strobing
the WR pin high then low. The internal registers control the data output format (unsigned or twos complement),
the PGA gain, device powerdown, and the clamp functions.
or MODE = AVDD/2, an internal ADC references generator (A2) is enabled, which drives the
DD
high, allowing the user to place
THS1041
The THS1041 offers a clamp circuit suitable for dc restoration of ac-coupled signals. The clamp voltage level
can be set using an external reference applied to the CLAMPIN pin, or it can be set to a reference level provided
by an on-chip 10-bit DAC. The CLAMPOUT pin must be connected externally to AIN+ or AIN– in applications
requiring the clamp function.
The following sections explain further:
DHow signals flow from AIN+ and AIN– to the ADC core, and how the reference voltages at REFT and REFB

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
sample-and-hold
Differential input signal sources can be connected directly to the AIN+ and AIN– pins using either dc- or
ac-coupling.
For single-ended sources, the signal can be dc- or ac-coupled to one of AIN+ or AIN–, and a suitable reference
voltage (usually the midscale voltage, see operating configuration examples) must be applied to the other pin.
Note that connecting the signal to AIN– results in it being inverted during sampling.
The sample and hold differential output voltage VP = VP+ – VP– is given by
VP = (AIN+) – (AIN–)
A clamp is available for dc restoration of ac-coupled single-ended inputs (see clamp operation).
programmable gain amplifier
VP is amplified by the PGA and fed to the ADC as a voltage VQ = VQ+ – VQ– where
VQ = Gain × VP = Gain × [(AIN+) – (AIN–)]
analog-to-digital converter
VQ is digitized by the ADC, using the voltages at pins REFT and REFB to set the ADC zero-scale (code 0) and
full-scale (code 1023) input voltages.
VQ (ZS) = – (REFT – REFB)
VQ (FS) = (REFT – REFB)
Any inputs at AIN+ and AIN– that give VQ voltages less than VQ(ZS) or greater than VQ(FS) lie outside the
ADC’s conversion range and attempts to convert such voltages are signalled by driving pin OVR high when the
conversion result is output. VQ voltages less than VQ(ZS) digitize to give ADC output code 0, and VQ voltages
greater than VQ(FS) give ADC output code 1023.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
ADC reference generation
The THS1041 ADC references REFT and REFB can be driven from external (off-chip) sources or from the
internal A2 reference buffer. The voltage at the MODE pin determines the ADC references source.
Connecting MODE to AGND enables external ADC references mode. In this mode the internal buffer A2 is
powered down and the user must provide the REFT and REFB voltages by connecting external sources directly
to these pins. This mode is useful where several THS1041 devices must share common references for best
matching of their ADC input ranges, or when the application requires better accuracy and temperature stability
than the on-chip reference source can provide.
THS1041
Connecting MODE to AV
or AVDD/2 enables internal ADC references mode. In this mode the buffer A2 is
DD
powered up and drives the REFT and REFB pins. External reference sources should not be connected in this
mode. Using internal ADC references mode when possible helps to reduce the component count and hence
the system cost.
When MODE is connected to A V
, a buffered AVDD/2 voltage is also available at the CLAMPOUT pin. This
DD
voltage can be used as a dc bias level for any ac-coupling networks connecting the input signal sources to the
AIN+ and AIN– pins.

Depending on the connection of the REFSENSE pin, the voltage on VREF may be driven by an off-chip source
or by the internal bandgap reference (A1) (see onboard reference generator configuration) to match the
THS1041 input range to their application requirements.
When MODE = AV
the CLAMPOUT pin provides a buffered, stabilized AVDD/2 output voltage that can be

used as a bias reference for ac coupling networks connecting the signal sources to the AIN+ or AIN– inputs.
This removes the need for the user to provide a stabilized external bias reference.

External ADC references are best suited to applications which require the tighter reference voltage tolerance

to be shared among several THS1041 ADCs for best matching of their ADC channels.
The THS1041 provides a clamp function for restoring a dc reference level to the signal at AIN+ or AIN– which
has been lost through ac-coupling from the signal source to this pin.
Figure 38 and Figure 39 show an example of using the clamp to restore the black level of a composite video
input ac-coupled to AIN+. While the clamp pin is held high, the clamp amplifier forces the voltage at AIN+ to equal
the clamp 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 THS1041 clamp and control registers.
Clamp acquisition and clamp droop design calculations are discussed later.

SLAS289B – OCTOBER 2001 – REVISED FEBRUAR Y 2002
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
power management
In power-sensitive applications (such as battery-powered systems) where the THS1041 ADC is not required
to convert continuously, power can be saved between conversion intervals by placing the THS1041 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 0.1 mW. Power-down mode is exited by resetting control register bit
3 to 0. On power up, typical wake-up and power-up times apply. See power supply section.
In systems where the ADC must run continuously , but where the clamp is not required, the supply current can
be reduced by approximately 1.2 mA by setting the control register bit 6 (CLDIS) to 1, which disables the clamp
circuit. Similarly, when REFSENSE is tied to AV
reduced by approximately 1.2 mA.
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
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.
, the reference generator is disabled and supply current
DD
is held high.
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 THS1041 by presenting it on the I/O0 to I/O9 pins
and pulsing the WR pin high then low to latch the data into the chosen control or DAC register.
Figure 41 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 2). 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.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
digital control registers
The THS1041 contains two clamp registers and a control register for user programming of THS1041 operation.
Binary data can be written into these registers by using pins I/O0 to I/O9 and the WR and OE
previous section). In input mode, the two I/O bus MSBs are address bits, 00 addressing clamp register 1, 01
clamp register 2, and 10 the control register.

driving the THS1041 analog inputs
driving the clock input
Obtaining good performance from the THS1041 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 also be driven from a low jitter source for best dynamic performance. T o maintain low jitter
at the CLK input, any clock buffers external to the THS1041 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.
As the CLK input threshold is nominally around A V
/2, any clock buffers need to have an appropriate supply

AIN input damping
The charging current pulses into AIN+ and AIN– can make the signal sources jump or ring, especially if the
sources are slightly inductive at high frequencies. Inserting a small series resistor of 20 Ω or less and a small
capacitor to ground of 20 pF or less in the input path can damp source ringing (see Figure 44). The resistor and
capacitor values can be made larger than 20 Ω and 20 pF if reduced input bandwidth and a slight gain error (due
to potential division between the external resistors and the AIN equivalent resistors) are acceptable.
Note that the capacitors should be soldered to a clean analog ground with a common ground point to prevent
any voltage drops in the ground plane appearing as a differential voltage at the ADC inputs.

designing the dc clamp
Figure 38 shows the basic operation of the clamp circuit with the analog input AIN+ coupled via an RC circuit.
AIN– must be connected to a dc source whose voltage level keeps the THS1041 differential input within the ADC
input range. The clamp voltage output level may be established by an analog voltage on the CLAMPIN pin or
by programming the on-chip clamp DAC.
(Note that it is possible to reverse the AIN+ and AIN– connections if signal inversion is also required. The
following section assumes that the signal is coupled to AIN+ and that AIN– is connected to a suitable dc bias
level).

initial clamp acquisition time (continued)
Initial acquisition can be performed in two ways:
DPulsing the CLAMP pin as in normal operation. Provided that clamp droop (see below) is negligible, initial
acquisition is complete when the total clamped (CLAMP = high) time equals T
DPulling the CLAMP pin high for the required acquisition time before starting normal operation. This method
is faster, though possibly less convenient for the user to implement.
clamp droop
The charging currents drawn by the sample-and-hold switched capacitor input can charge or discharge C
causing the dc voltage at AIN+ to drift towards the dc bias voltage at AIN– during the time between clamp pulses.
This effect is called clamp droop.

If a high leakage capacitor is used for coupling the input source to the AIN pin then the droop may be significantly

leakage currents than nonpolarized capacitor types. Electrolytic and tantalum capacitors also tend to have
higher parasitic inductance, which can cause problems at high input frequencies.

charge reservoir) and a 100-nF ceramic type capacitor placed as close as possible to the respective pins (to
suppress spikes and supply noise).
digital output loading and circuit board layout
The THS1041 outputs are capable of driving rail-to-rail with up to 10 pF of load per pin at 40-MHz clock frequency
and 3-V digital supply . Minimizing the load on the outputs improves THS1041 signal-to-noise performance by
reducing the switching noise coupling from the THS1041 output buffers to the internal analog circuits. The
output load capacitance can be minimized by buffering the THS1041 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 THS1041 and this buffer. Inserting small resistors in the range 100 Ω to 300 Ω between the
THS1041 I/O outputs and their loads can help minimize the output-related noise in noise-critical applications.
Noise levels at the output buffers, which may affect the analog circuits within THS1041, increase with the digital
supply voltage. Where possible, consider using the lowest DV
Use good layout practices when designing the application PCB to ensure that any off-chip return currents from
the THS1041 digital outputs (and any other digital circuits on the PCB) do not return via the supplies to any
sensitive analog circuits. The THS1041 should be soldered directly to the PCB for best performance. Socketing

definitions
DIntegral nonlinearity (INL)—Integral nonlinearity refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line
drawn from zero to full scale. The point used as zero occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. The
full-scale point is defined as a level 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from
the center of each particular code to the true straight line between these two endpoints.
DDifferential nonlinearity (DNL)—An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB apart. DNL
is the deviation from this ideal value. Therefore this measure indicates how uniform the transfer function
step sizes are. The ideal step size is defined here as the step size for the device under test (i.e., (last
transition level – first transition level) ÷ (2
and offset error. A minimum DNL better than –1 LSB ensures no missing codes.
DZero-error—Zero-error is defined as the difference in analog input voltage—between the ideal voltage and
the actual voltage—that switches the ADC output from code 0 to code 1. The ideal voltage level is
determined by adding the voltage corresponding to 1/2 LSB to the bottom reference level. The voltage
corresponding to 1 LSB is found from the difference of top and bottom references divided by the number
of ADC output levels (1024).
