Theory of Operation
The HI5905 is a 14-bit fully differential sampling pipeline A/D
converter with digital error correction. Figure 8 depicts the
circuit for the front end differential-in-differential-out sampleand-hold (S/H). The switches are controlled by an internal
clock which is a non-overlapping two phase signal, φ1 and
φ2 , derived from the master clock. During the sampling
phase, φ1 , the input signal is applied to the sampling
capacitors, CS . At the same time the holding capacitors, CH ,
are discharged to analog ground. At the falling edge of φ1
the input signal is sampled on the bottom plates of the
sampling capacitors. In the next clock phase, φ2 , the two
bottom plates of the sampling capacitors are connected
together and the holding capacitors are switched to the opamp output nodes. The charge then redistributes between
CS and CH completing one sample-and-hold cycle. The
output is a fully-differential, sampled-data representation of
the analog input. The circuit not only performs the sampleand-hold function but will also convert a single-ended input
to a fully-differential output for the converter core. During the
sampling phase, the VIN pins see only the on-resistance of a
switch and CS . The relatively small values of these
components result in a typical full power input bandwidth of
100MHz for the converter.

FIGURE 8. ANALOG INPUT SAMPLE-AND-HOLD
As illustrated in the functional block diagram and the timing
diagram in Figure 1, four identical pipeline subconverter stages,
each containing a four-bit flash converter, a four-bit digital-toanalog converter and an amplifier with a voltage gain of 8,
follow the S/H circuit with the fifth stage being only a 4-bit flash
converter. Each converter stage in the pipeline will be sampling
in one phase and amplifying in the other clock phase. Each
individual sub-converter clock signal is offset by 180 degrees
from the previous stage clock signal, with the result that
alternate stages in the pipeline will perform the same operation.
The output of each of the four-bit subconverter stages is a
four-bit digital word containing a supplementary bit to be used
by the digital error correction logic. The output of each
subconverter stage is input to a digital delay line which is
controlled by the internal sampling clock. The function of the
digital delay line is to time align the digital outputs of the four
identical four-bit subconverter stages with the corresponding
output of the fifth stage flash converter before applying the
HI5905
twenty bit result to the digital error correction logic. The digital
error correction logic uses the supplementary bits to correct
any error that may exist before generating the final fourteen
bit digital data output of the converter.
Because of the pipeline nature of this converter, the digital
data representing an analog input sample is output to the
digital data bus on the 4th cycle of the clock after the analog
sample is taken. This time delay is specified as the data
latency. After the data latency time, the digital data
representing each succeeding analog sample is output
during the following clock cycle. The digital output data is
synchronized to the external sampling clock with a latch. The
digital output data is available in two’s complement binary
format (see Table 1, A/D Code Table).
Internal Reference Generator, VROUT and VRIN
The HI5905 has an internal reference generator, therefore,
no external reference voltage is required. VROUT must be
connected to VRIN when using the internal reference
voltage.
The HI5905 can be used with an external reference. The
converter requires only one external reference voltage
connected to the VRIN pin with VROUT left open.
The HI5905 is tested with VROUT , equal to 4.0V, connected
to VRIN . Internal to the converter, two reference voltages of
1.3V and 3.3V are generated for a fully differential input
signal range of ±2V.
In order to minimize overall converter noise, it is
recommended that adequate high frequency decoupling be
provided at the reference voltage input pin, VRIN .
A 2.3V DC bias voltage source, VDC , half way between the
top and bottom internal reference voltages, is made
available to the user to help simplify circuit design when
using a differential input. This low output impedance voltage
source is not designed to be a reference but makes an
excellent bias source and stays within the analog input
common mode voltage range over temperature.
The difference between the converter’s two internal voltage
references is 2V. For the AC coupled differential input, (Figure
9), if VIN is a 2VP-P sinewave with -VIN being 180 degrees out
of phase with VIN, then VIN+ is a 2VP-P sinewave riding on a
DC bias voltage equal to VDC and VIN- is a 2VP-P sinewave
riding on a DC bias voltage equal to VDC . Consequently, the
converter will be at positive full scale, resulting in a digital data
output code with D13 (MSB) equal to a logic “0” and D0-D12
equal to logic “1” (see Table 1, A/D Code Table), when the
VIN+ input is at VDC+1V and the VIN- input is at VDC-1V
(VIN+ - VIN- = 2V). Conversely, the ADC will be at negative full
scale, resulting in a digital data output code with D13 (MSB)
equal to a logic “1” and D0-D12 equal to logic “0” (see Table 1,
A/D Code Table), when the VIN+ input is equal to VDC - 1V and
VIN- is at VDC + 1V (VIN+ - VIN- = -2V). From this, the converter
is seen to have a peak-to-peak differential analog input voltage
range of ±2V.
The analog input can be DC coupled (Figure 10) as long as
the inputs are within the analog input common mode voltage
range (1.0V ≤ VDC ≤ 4.0V).

Analog Input, Differential Connection
Since the HI5905 is powered off a single +5V supply, the
analog input must be biased so it lies within the analog input
common mode voltage range of 1.0V to 4.0V. The
performance of the ADC does not change significantly with
the value of the analog input common mode voltage.

The analog input to the HI5905 can be configured in various

The resistors, R, in Figure 10 are not absolutely necessary
but may be used as load setting resistors. A capacitor, C,
connected from VIN+ to VIN- will help filter any high
frequency noise on the inputs, also improving performance.
Values around 20pF are sufficient and can be used on AC
coupled inputs as well. Note, however, that the value of
capacitor C chosen must take into account the highest
frequency component of the analog input signal.

Analog Input, Single-Ended Connection
The configuration shown in Figure 11 may be used with a
single ended AC coupled input. Sufficient headroom must be
provided such that the input voltage never goes above +5V
or below AGND .

FIGURE 11. AC COUPLED SINGLE ENDED INPUT
Again, the difference between the two internal voltage
references is 2V. If VIN is a 4VP-P sinewave, then VIN+ is a
4VP- P sinewave riding on a positive voltage equal to VDC. The
converter will be at positive full scale when VIN+ is at VDC + 2V
(VIN+ - VIN- = 2V) and will be at negative full scale when VIN+
is equal to VDC - 2V (VIN+ - VIN- = -2V). In this case, VDC
could range between 2V and 3V without a significant change in
ADC performance. The simplest way to produce VDC is to use
the VDC bias voltage output of the HI5905.
The single ended analog input can be DC coupled (Figure
12) as long as the input is within the analog input common
mode voltage range.
FIGURE 12. DC COUPLED SINGLE ENDED INPUT
The resistor, R, in Figure 12 is not absolutely necessary but
may be used as a load setting resistor. A capacitor, C,
connected from VIN+ to VIN- will help filter any high
frequency noise on the inputs, also improving performance.
Values around 20pF are sufficient and can be used on AC
coupled inputs as well. Note, however, that the value of
capacitor C chosen must take into account the highest
frequency component of the analog input signal.
A single ended source will give better overall system
performance if it is first converted to differential before
driving the HI5905.
Digital I/O and Clock Requirements
The HI5905 provides a standard high-speed interface to
external TTL/CMOS logic families. The digital CMOS clock
input has TTL level thresholds. The low input bias current
allows the HI5905 to be driven by CMOS logic. The digital
CMOS outputs have a separate +5.0V digital supply input pin.
In order to ensure rated performance of the HI5905, the duty
cycle of the clock should be held at 50% ±5%. It must also
have low jitter and operate at standard TTL levels.
Performance of the HI5905 will only be guaranteed at
conversion rates above 0.5MSPS. This ensures proper
performance of the internal dynamic circuits.

HI5905
Supply and Ground Considerations
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
The HI5905 has separate analog and digital supply and
ground pins to keep digital noise out of the analog signal
path. The part should be mounted on a board that provides
separate low impedance connections for the analog and
digital supplies and grounds. For best performance, the
supplies to the HI5905 should be driven by clean, linear
regulated supplies. The board should also have good high
frequency decoupling capacitors mounted as close as
possible to the converter. If the part is powered off a single
supply then the analog supply and ground pins should be
isolated by ferrite beads from the digital supply and ground
pins.
SNR is the measured RMS signal to RMS noise at a
specified input and sampling frequency. The noise is the
RMS sum of all of the spectral components except the
fundamental and the first five harmonics.
Refer to the Application Note AN9214, “Using Intersil High
Speed A/D Converters” for additional considerations when
using high speed converters.
ENOB = ( SINAD + V CORR -1.76 )/6.02
Static Performance Definitions
Offset Error (VOS)
The midscale code transition should occur at a level 1/4 LSB
above half-scale. Offset is defined as the deviation of the
actual code transition from this point.
Full-Scale Error (FSE)
Signal-to-Noise + Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the measured RMS signal to RMS sum of all
other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency,
fS/2, excluding DC.
Effective Number Of Bits (ENOB)
The effective number of bits (ENOB) is calculated from the
SINAD data by:
where: VCORR = 0.5dB (Typical)
VCORR adjusts the ENOB for the amount the input is below
fullscale.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the first 5 harmonic
components to the RMS value of the fundamental input
signal.
The last code transition should occur for an analog input that
is 3/4 LSB below positive full-scale with the offset error
removed. Full-scale error is defined as the deviation of the
actual code transition from this point.
2nd and 3rd Harmonic Distortion
Differential Linearity Error (DNL)
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
DNL is the worst case deviation of a code width from the
ideal value of 1 LSB.
SFDR is the ratio of the fundamental RMS amplitude to the
RMS amplitude of the next largest spur or spectral
component (excluding the first 5 harmonic components) in
the spectrum below fS/2.
Integral Linearity Error (INL)
INL is the worst case deviation of a code center from a best
fit straight line calculated from the measured data.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
Each of the power supplies are moved plus and minus 5%
and the shift in the offset and gain error (in LSBs) is noted.
Dynamic Performance Definitions
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) techniques are used to evaluate
the dynamic performance of the HI5905. A low distortion sine
wave is applied to the input, it is coherently sampled, and the
output is stored in RAM. The data is then transformed into the
frequency domain with an FFT and analyzed to evaluate the
dynamic performance of the A/D. The sine wave input to the
part is -0.5dB down from full-scale for all these tests. SNR and
SINAD are quoted in dB. The distortion numbers are quoted in
dBc (decibels with respect to carrier) and DO NOT include any
correction factors for normalizing to full scale.
10
This is the ratio of the RMS value of the applicable
harmonic component to the RMS value of the fundamental
input signal.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
Nonlinearities in the signal path will tend to generate
intermodulation products when two tones, f1 and f2 , are
present at the inputs. The ratio of the measured signal to
the distortion terms is calculated. The terms included in the
calculation are (f1 + f2), (f1 - f2), (2f1), (2f2), (2f1 + f2), (2f1 f2), (f1 + 2f2), (f1 - 2f2). The ADC is tested with each tone
6dB below full scale.
Transient Response
Transient response is measured by providing a fullscale
transition to the analog input of the ADC and measuring the
number of cycles it takes for the output code to settle within
14-bit accuracy.
Over-Voltage Recovery
Over-voltage Recovery is measured by providing a fullscale
transition to the analog input of the ADC which overdrives
the input by 200mV, and measuring the number of cycles it
takes for the output code to settle within 14-bit accuracy.
HI5905
Full Power Input Bandwidth (FPBW)
Data Hold Time (tH)
Full power input bandwidth is the analog input frequency at
which the amplitude of the digitally reconstructed output has
decreased 3dB below the amplitude of the input sinewave.
The input sinewave has an amplitude which swings from -fS
to +fS . The bandwidth given is measured at the specified
sampling frequency.
Data hold time is the time to where the previous data (N - 1)
is still valid.
Data Output Delay Time (tOD)
Data output delay time is the time to where the new data (N)
is valid.
Data Latency (tLAT)
Timing Definitions
Refer to Figure 1, Internal Circuit Timing, and Figure 2,
Input-To-Output Timing, for these definitions.
Aperture Delay (tAP)
Aperture delay is the time delay between the external
sample command (the falling edge of the clock) and the time
at which the signal is actually sampled. This delay is due to
internal clock path propagation delays.
After the analog sample is taken, the digital data is output on
the bus at the third cycle of the clock. This is due to the
pipeline nature of the converter where the data has to ripple
through the stages. This delay is specified as the data
latency. After the data latency time, the data representing
each succeeding sample is output at the following clock
pulse. The digital data lags the analog input sample by 4
clock cycles.
Aperture Jitter (tAJ)
Aperture Jitter is the RMS variation in the aperture delay due
to variation of internal clock path delays.
