The ADS931 is a high-speed pipelined Analog-to-Digital
(A/D) converter that is specified to operate from standard
+5V or +3V power supplies. This converter includes a high
bandwidth track/hold and an 8-bit quantizer. The performance is specified with a single-ended input range of 1V to
2V when operating off of a +3V supply. This device also
allows for standard input ranges such as 2V to 4V or 2V to
3V, when operating on +5V supplies. The full scale input
range is set by an external reference.
APPLICATIONS
The ADS931 employs digital error correction techniques to
provide excellent differential linearity for demanding imaging applications. Its low distortion and high SNR give the
extra margin needed for telecommunications, video and test
instrumentation applications. The ADS931 is available in an
SSOP-28 package.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits
may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its
published specifications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Op Amp
Bias
The ADS931 is a high-speed sampling A/D converter that
utilizes a pipeline architecture. The fully differential topology and digital error correction guarantee 8-bit resolution.
The track-and-hold circuit is shown in Figure 1. The switches
are controlled by an internal clock which has a non-overlapping two phase signal, φ1 and φ2. At the sampling time the
input signal is sampled on the bottom plates of the input
capacitors. In the next clock phase, φ2, the bottom plates of
the input capacitors are connected together and the feedback
capacitors are switched to the op amp output. At this time the
charge redistributes between CI and CH, completing one
track-and-hold cycle. The differential output is a held DC
representation of the analog input at the sample time. In the
normal mode of operation, the complementary input is tied
to the common-mode voltage. In this case, the track-andhold circuit converts a single-ended input signal into a fully
differential signal for the quantizer. Consequently, the input
signal gets amplified by a gain or two, which improves the
signal-to-noise performance. Other parameters such as smallsignal and full-power bandwidth, and wideband noise are
also defined in this stage.

ADS931
SBAS060A
The pipelined quantizer architecture has 7 stages with each
stage containing a two-bit quantizer and a two bit digitalto-analog converter, as shown in Figure 2. Each two-bit
quantizer stage converts on the edge of the sub-clock, which
is the same frequency of the externally applied clock. The
output of each quantizer is fed into its own delay line to
time-align it with the data created from the subsequent
quantizer stages. This aligned data is fed into a digital error
correction circuit which can adjust the output data based on
the information found on the redundant bits. This technique
provides the ADS931 with excellent differential linearity
and guarantees no missing codes at the 8-bit level.
To accommodate a bipolar signal swing, the ADS931 operates with a common-mode voltage (VCM) which is derived
from the external references. Due to the symmetric resistor
ladder inside the ADS931, VCM is situated between the top
and bottom reference voltage. Equation 1 can be used for
calculating the common-mode voltage level.
VCM = (REFT +REFB)/2
of the converter will start to degrade due to large variations
of the input’s switch ON resistance over the input voltage.
Therefore, the signal swing should remain approximately
0.5V away from each rail during normal operation.
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS
AC-COUPLED DRIVER
Figure 3 shows an example of an ac-coupled, single-ended
interface circuit using a high speed op amp which operates
on dual supplies (OPA650, OPA658). The mid-point reference voltage, (VCM), biases the bipolar, ground-referenced
input signal. The capacitor C1 and resistor R1 form a highpass filter with the –3dB frequency set at
f–3dB = 1/(2 π R1 C1)
(2)
The values for C1 and R1 are not critical in most applications
and can be set freely. The values shown in Figure 3 correspond to a corner frequency of 1.6kHz.
(1)
At the same time, the two external reference voltage levels
define the full-scale input range for the ADS931. This makes
it possible for the input range to be adapted to the signal
swing of the front end.

SIGNAL SWING AND COMMON-MODE
CONSIDERATIONS
The ADS931 is primarily designed and specified for a +3V
single supply voltage. However, due to its supply range of
+2.7V to +5.25V, it is well suited for +5V applications. The
nominal input signal swing is 1Vp-p, situated between +1V
and +2V. This means that the signal swings ±0.5V around a
common-mode voltage of +1.5V when using a 3V rail, or
typically +2.75V on a 5V supply. In some applications, it
might be advantageous to increase the input signal swing.
For example, increasing it to 2Vp-p may improve the achievable signal-to-noise performance. However, consideration
should be given to keeping the signal swing within the linear
range of operation of the driving circuitry to avoid any
excessive distortion. In extreme situations, the performance

FIGURE 3. AC-Coupled, Single-Ended Interface Circuit.
Figure 4 depicts a circuit that can be used in single-supply
applications. The mid-reference voltage biases the op amp
up to the appropriate common-mode voltage, for example
VCM = +1.5V. With the use of capacitor CG, the DC gain for
the non-inverting op amp input is set to +1V/V. As a result,
the transfer function is modified to

Again, the input coupling capacitor C1 and resistor R1 form
a high-pass filter. At the same time, the input impedance is
defined by R1. Although many high-speed op amps operate
on single supply voltages down to +3V, their ac-performance is often lower when compared to their +5V acperformance. This is especially true at signal frequencies of
5MHz or higher, where noticeable degradation is exhibited
that will limit the performance of the system. If possible, the
op amp and A/D converter pair should be supplied with +5V
and the common-mode voltage set to +2.5V, which is
usually the preferred dc bias level for single-supply op amps.
Keeping the signal swing within 1Vp-p prevents the op amp
from exhibiting excessive distortion caused by its slew-rate
limitations. Depending on the selected amplifier, the use of
a pull-up or pull-down resistor (RP) located directly at its
output may considerably improve the distortion performance. Resistor RS isolates the op amp’s output from the
capacitive load to avoid gain peaking or even oscillation. It
can also be used to establish a defined bandwidth in order to
roll off the high frequency noise. The value of RS is usually
set between 10Ω and 100Ω.
(±15%). In order to establish a correct voltage drop across
the ladder, the external reference circuit must be able to
supply typically 250µA of current. With this current the fullscale input range of the ADS931 is set between +1V and
+2V, or 1Vp-p. In general, the voltage drop across REFT
and REFB determines the input full-scale range (FSR) of the
ADS931. Equation 4 can be used to calculate the span.
DC-COUPLED INTERFACE CIRCUIT
Shown in Figure 5 is a single-supply, DC-coupled circuit
which can be set in a gain of –1V/V or higher. Depending on
the gain, the divider ratio set by resistors R1 and R2 must be
adjusted to yield the correct common-mode voltage for the
ADS931. With a +3V supply, the input signal of the ADS931
is 1Vp-p, typically centered around the common-mode voltage of +1.5V, which can be derived from the external
references.
The trade-offs, when selecting this reference circuit, are the
variations in the reference voltages due to component tolerances, temperature drift and power supply variations. In any
case, it is recommended to bypass the reference ladder with
at least 0.1µF ceramic capacitors, as shown in Figure 6. The
purpose of the capacitors is twofold. They will bypass most
of the high frequency noise which results from feedthrough
of the clock and switching noise from the sample and hold
stages. Secondly, they serve as a charge reservoir to supply
instantaneous current to internal nodes.
EXTERNAL REFERENCE
The ADS931 requires external references on pin 22 (REFT)
and pin 24 (REFB). Internally those pins are connected by
the resistor ladder, which has a nominal resistance of 4kΩ
FSR = REFT – REFB
Depending on the application, several options are possible to
supply the external reference voltages to the ADS931 without degrading the typical performance.
LOW-COST SOLUTION
The easiest way to achieve the required reference voltages is
to place the reference ladder of the ADS931 between the
supply rails, as shown in Figure 6. Two additional resistors
(RT, RB) are necessary to set the correct current through the
ladder. The table in Figure 6 lists the value for several
possible configurations, however depending on the desired
full-scale swing and supply voltage, different resistor values
might be selected.
HIGH ACCURACY SOLUTION
For those application demanding a higher level of dc accuracy and drift a reference circuit with a precision reference
element might be used (see Figure 7). A stable +1.2V

reference voltage is established by a two terminal bandgap
reference diode, the REF1004-1.2. Using a general-purpose
single-supply dual operational amplifier (A1), like an
OPA2237, OPA2234 or MC34072, the two required reference voltages for the ADS931 can be generated by setting
each op amp to the appropriate gain; for example: set REFT
to +2V and REFB to +1V.
ADS931
SBAS060A
CLOCK INPUT
The clock input of the ADS931 is designed to accommodate
either +3V or +5V CMOS logic levels. To drive the clock
input with a minimum amount of duty cycle variation and
support the maximum sampling rate (30MSPS), high speed
or advanced CMOS logic should be used (HC/HCT,
AC/ACT). When digitizing at high sampling rates, a 50%
11
duty cycle, along with fast rise and fall times (2ns or less),
are recommended to meet the rated performance specifications. However, the ADS931 performance is tolerant to duty
cycle variations of as much as ±10%, which should not
affect the performance. For applications operating with
input frequencies up to Nyquist (fCLK/2) or undersampling
applications, special consideration must be made to provide
a clock with very low jitter. Clock jitter leads to aperture
jitter (tA) which can be the ultimate limitation to achieving
good SNR performance. Equation 5 shows the relationship
between aperture jitter, input frequency and the signal-tonoise ratio:
SNR = 20log10 [1/(2 π fIN tA)]
(5)
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The digital outputs of the ADS931 are standard CMOS
stages and designed to be compatible to both high speed
TTL and CMOS logic families. The logic thresholds are for
low-voltage CMOS: VOL = 0.4V, VOH = 2.4V, which allows
the ADS931 to directly interface to 3V logic. The digital
output driver of the ADS931 uses a dedicated digital supply
pin (pin 2, LVDD), as shown in Figure 8. By adjusting the
voltage on LVDD, the digital output levels will vary respectively. It is recommended to limit the fan-out to one in order
to keep the capacitive loading on the data lines below the
specified 15pF. If necessary, external buffers or latches may
be used to provide the added benefit of isolating the A/D
converter from any digital activities on the bus coupling
back high frequency noise, which degrades the performance.

FIGURE 8. Independent Supply Connection for Output
Stage.
During power-down, the digital outputs are set in 3-state.
With the clock applied, the converter does not accurately
process the sampled signal. After removing the power-down
condition, the output data from the following 5 clock cycles
is invalid (data latency).
DECOUPLING AND GROUNDING
CONSIDERATIONS
The ADS931 has several supply pins, one of which is
dedicated to supply only the output driver (LVDD). The
remaining supply pins are not divided into analog and digital
supply pins (+VS) since they are internally connected on the
chip. For this reason, it is recommended that the converter be
treated as an analog component and to power it only from
the analog supply. Digital supply lines often carry high
levels of noise which can couple back into the converter and
limit performance.
Because of the pipeline architecture, the converter also
generates high frequency transients and noise that are fed
back into the supply and reference lines. This requires that
the supply and reference pins be sufficiently bypassed.
Figure 9 shows the recommended decoupling scheme for the
analog supplies. In most cases, 0.1µF ceramic chip capacitors are adequate to keep the impedance low over a wide
frequency range. Their effectiveness largely depends on the
proximity to the individual supply pin. Therefore, they
should be located as close as possible to the supply pins. In
addition, one larger bipolar capacitor (1µF to 22µF) should
be placed on the PC board in proximity of the converter
circuit.

POWER-DOWN MODE
The ADS931’s low power consumption can be reduced even
further by initiating a power-down mode. For this, the Power
Down pin (pin 17) must be tied to a logic “High” reducing
the current drawn from the supply by approximately 84%. In
normal operation, the power-down mode is disabled by an
internal pull-down resistor (50kΩ).
