THS1209 consists of two analog inputs, which are
sampled simultaneously. These inputs can be selected
individually and configured to single-ended or
differential inputs. Internal reference voltages for the
ADC (1.5 V and 3.5 V) are provided. An external
reference can also be chosen to suit the dc accuracy
and temperature drift requirements of the application.
The THS1209C is characterized for operation from 0°C
to 70°C, and the THS1209I is characterized for
operation from –40°C to 85°C.

DESCRIPTION
The THS1209 is a CMOS, low-power, 12-bit, 8 MSPS
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The speed,
resolution, bandwidth, and single-supply operation are
suited for applications in radar, imaging, high-speed
acquisition, and communications. A multistage
pipelined architecture with output error correction logic
provides for no missing codes over the full operating
temperature range. Internal control registers allow for
programming the ADC into the desired mode. The

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Reference Voltage
The THS1209 has a built-in reference, which provides the reference voltages for the ADC. VREFP is set to 3.5 V
and VREFM is set to 1.5 V. An external reference can also be used through two reference input pins, REFP and
REFM, if the reference source is programmed as external. The voltage levels applied to these pins establish the
upper and lower limits of the analog inputs to produce a full-scale and zero-scale reading respectively.
Analog Inputs
The THS1209 consists of two analog inputs, which are sampled simultaneously. These inputs can be selected
individually and configured as single-ended or differential inputs. The desired analog input channel can be
programmed.
Converter
The THS1209 uses a 12-bit pipelined multistaged architecture which achieves a high sample rate with low power
consumption. The THS1209 distributes the conversion over several smaller ADC sub-blocks, refining the conversion
with progressively higher accuracy as the device passes the results from stage to stage. This distributed conversion
requires a small fraction of the number of comparators used in a traditional flash ADC. A sample-and-hold amplifier
(SHA) within each of the stages permits the first stage to operate on a new input sample while the second through
the eighth stages operate on the seven preceding samples.
Conversion
An external clock signal with a duty cycle of 50% has to be applied to the clock input (CONV_CLK). A new conversion
is started with every falling edge of the applied clock signal. The conversion values are available at the output with
a latency of 5 clock cycles.
SYNC
In multichannel mode, the first SYNC signal is delayed by [7+ (# Channels Sampled)] cycles of the CONV_CLK after
a SYNC reset. This is due to the latency of the pipeline architecture of the THS1209.
Sampling Rate
The maximum possible conversion rate per channel is dependent on the selected analog input channels. Table 1
shows the maximum conversion rate for different combinations.

SLAS288B – JULY 2000 – REVISED DECEMBER 2002
CONVERSION MODE
During conversion, the ADC operates with a free running external clock signal applied to the input CONV_CLK. With
every falling edge of the CONV_CLK signal a new converted value is available to the databus with the corresponding
read signal. The THS1209 offers up to two analog inputs to be selected. It is important to provide the channel
information to the system, this means to know which channel is available to the databus. The signal SYNC is disabled
for the selection of one analog input since this information is not required for one analog input.
Figure 25 shows the timing of the conversion when one analog input channel is selected. The maximum throughput
rate is 8 MSPS in this mode. There is a certain timing relationship required for the read signal with respect to the
conversion clock. This can be seen in Figure 26 and Table 2. A more detailed description of the timing is given in the
section timing and signal description of the THS1209.

Figure 26 shows the conversion timing when two analog input channels are selected. The maximum throughput rate
per channel is 4 MSPS in this mode. The data flow in the bottom of the figure shows the order the converted data
is available to the data bus. The SYNC signal is always active low if data of channel 1 is available to the data bus.
There is a certain timing relationship required for the read signal with respect to the conversion clock. This can be
seen in Figure 26 and with the timing specifications. A more detailed description of the timing is given in the section

Timing and Signal Description of the THS1209
The reading from the THS1209 and writing to the THS1209 is performed by using the chip select inputs (CS0, CS1),
the write input WR and the read input RD. The write input is configurable to a combined read/write input (R/W). This
is desired in cases where the connected processor consists of a combined read/write output signal (R/W). The two
chip select inputs can be used to interface easily to a processor.
Reading from the THS1209 takes place by an internal RDint signal, which is generated from the logical combination
of the external signals CS0, CS1 and RD (see Figure 4). This signal is then used to strobe the words out and to enable
the output buffers. The last external signal (either CS0, CS1 or RD) to become valid makes RDint active while the
write input (WR) is inactive. The first of those external signals going to its inactive state then deactivates RDint again.
Writing to the THS1209 takes place by an internal WRint signal, which is generated from the logical combination of
the external signals CS0, CS1 and WR. This signal is then used to strobe the control words into the control registers
0 and 1. The last external signal (either CS0, CS1 or WR) to become valid makes WRint active while the read input
(RD) is inactive. The first of those external signals going to its inactive state then deactivates WRint again.

Write Timing (using R/W, CS0-controlled)
Figure 32 shows the write-timing behavior when the WR(R/W) input is programmed as a combined read-write input
R/W. The RD input has to be tied to high-level in this configuration. This timing is called CS0-controlled because CS0
is the last external signal of CS0, CS1, and R/W which becomes valid. The writing to the THS1209 can be performed
irrespective of the conversion clock signal CONV_CLK.

ANALOG INPUT CONFIGURATION AND REFERENCE VOLTAGE
The THS1209 features two analog input channels. These can be configured for either single-ended or differential
operation. Figure 33 shows a simplified model, where a single-ended configuration for channel AINP is selected. The
reference voltages for the ADC itself are VREFP and VREFM (either internal or external reference voltage). The analog
input voltage range goes from VREFM to VREFP. This means that VREFM defines the minimum voltage, and VREFP
defines the maximum voltage, which can be applied to the ADC. The internal reference source provides the voltage
VREFM of 1.5 V and the voltage VREFP of 3.5 V. The resulting analog input voltage swing of 2 V can be expressed
by:

Figure 33. Single-Ended Input Stage
A differential operation is desired for many applications due to a better signal-to-noise ratio. Figure 34 shows a
simplified model for the analog inputs AINM and AINP, which are configured for differential operation. The differential
operation mode provides in terms of performance benefits over the single-ended mode and is therefore
recommended for best performance. The THS1209 offers 1 differential analog input and in the single-ended mode
2 analog inputs. If the analog input architecture id differential, common-mode noise and common-mode voltages can
be rejected. Additional details for both modes are given below.

In comparison to the single-ended configuration it can be seen that the voltage, VADC, which is applied at the input
of the ADC, is the difference between the input AINP and AINM. The voltage VADC can be calculated as follows:

SINGLE-ENDED MODE OF OPERATION
The THS1209 can be configured for single-ended operation using dc or ac coupling. In every case, the input of the
THS1209 should be driven from an operational amplifier that does not degrade the ADC performance. Because the
THS1209 operates from a 5-V single supply, it is necessary to level-shift ground-based bipolar signals to comply with
its input requirements. This can be achieved with dc- and ac-coupling.

DC COUPLING
An operational amplifier can be configured to shift the signal level according to the analog input voltage range of the
THS1209. The analog input voltage range of the THS1209 goes from 1.5 V to 3.5 V. An op-amp can be used as
shown in Figure 35.
Figure 35 shows an example where the analog input signal in the range from –1 V up to 1 V is shifted by an
operational amplifier to the analog input range of the THS1209 (1.5 V to 3.5 V). The operational amplifier is configured
as an inverting amplifier with a gain of –1. The required dc voltage of 1.25 V at the noninverting input is derived from
the 2.5-V output reference REFOUT of the THS1209 by using a resistor divider. Therefore, the op-amp output voltage
is centered at 2.5 V. The 10 µF tantalum capacitor is required for bypassing REFOUT. REFIN of the THS1209 must
be connected directly to REFOUT in single-ended mode. The use of ratio matched, thin-film resistor networks
minimizes gain and offset errors.

DIFFERENTIAL MODE OF OPERATION
For the differential mode of operation, a conversion from single-ended to differential is required. A conversion to
differential signals can be achieved by using an RF-transformer, which provides a center tap. Best performance is
achieved in differential mode.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS AND TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity
Integral nonlinearity refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from zero through full scale. The
point used as zero occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. The full-scale point is defined as 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 points.
Differential Nonlinearity
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. A
differential nonlinearity error of less than ±1 LSB ensures no missing codes.
Zero Offset
The major carry transition should occur when the analog input is at zero volts. Zero error is defined as the deviation
of the actual transition from that point.
Gain Error
The first code transition should occur at an analog value 1/2 LSB above negative full scale. The last transition should
occur at an analog value 1 1/2 LSB below the nominal full scale. Gain error is the deviation of the actual difference
between first and last code transitions and the ideal difference between first and last code transitions.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio + Distortion (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below
the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
For a sine wave, SINAD can be expressed in terms of the number of bits. Using the following formula,
N+
(SINAD * 1.76)
6.02
it is possible to get a measure of performance expressed as N, the effective number of bits. Thus, effective number
of bits for a device for sine wave inputs at a given input frequency can be calculated directly from its measured SINAD.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic components to the rms value of the measured input signal
and is expressed as a percentage or in decibels.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference in dB between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
