Typically designed for multi-channel applications
and high-end imaging equipment, where low
consumption is a must, the TSA1401 only
dissipates 85mW at 20Msps when using external
references, 110mW using internal references. Its
power consumption adapts relative to sampling
frequency. Differential signals are applied on the
inputs for optimum performance. The TSA1401
reaches an SFDR of -90.5dBc and an SNR of
73.1dBc at Fin=10MHz when increasing the input
dynamic range to 2.5V by using the voltage
reference, TS431 (1.24V).

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFIED PARAMETERS
DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFIED PARAMETERS
3.1 Static Parameters
Signal to Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
Static measurements are performed through the
method of histograms on a 2MHz input signal,
sampled at 20Msps, which is high enough to fully
characterize the test frequency response. An
input level of +1dBFS is used to saturate the
signal.
Similar ratio as for SNR but including the
harmonic distortion components in the noise
figure (not DC signal). It is expressed in dB.
Differential Non Linearity (DNL)
When the applied signal is not Full Scale (FS), but
has an A0 amplitude, the SINAD expression
becomes:
The average deviation of any output code width
from the ideal code width of 1LSB.
Integral Non linearity (INL)
An ideal converter presents a transfer function as
being the straight line from the starting code to the
ending code. The INL is the deviation for each
transition from this ideal curve.
3.2 Dynamic Parameters
Dynamic measurements are performed by
spectral analysis, applied to an input sine wave of
various frequencies and sampled at 20Msps.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The ratio between the amplitude of fundamental
tone (signal power) and the power of the worst
spurious signal (not always an harmonic) over the
full Nyquist band. It is expressed in dBc.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
distortion components to the rms value of the
fundamental line. It is expressed in dB.
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
The ratio of the rms value of the fundamental
component to the rms sum of all other spectral
components in the Nyquist band (Fs/2) excluding
DC, fundamental and the first five harmonics.
SNR is reported in dB.
8/19
From the SINAD, the Effective Number of Bits
(ENOB) can easily be deduced using the formula:
SINAD= 6.02 × ENOB + 1.76 dB.
SINAD= 6.02 × ENOB + 1.76 dB + 20 log (2A0/FS)
The ENOB is expressed in bits.
Analog Input Bandwidth
The maximum analog input frequency at which
the spectral response of a full power signal is
reduced by 3dB. Higher values can be achieved
with smaller input levels.
Effective Resolution Bandwidth (ERB)
The band of input signal frequencies that the ADC
is intended to convert without loosing linearity i.e.
the maximum analog input frequency at which the
SINAD is decreased by 3dB or the ENOB by 1/2
bit.
Pipeline delay
Delay between the initial sample of the analog
input and the availability of the corresponding
digital data output, on the output bus. Also called
data latency. It is expressed as a number of clock
cycles.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TSA1401 is a High Speed Analog to Digital
converter based on a pipeline architecture and the
latest deep sub micron CMOS process to achieve
the best performances in terms of linearity and
power consumption.
The pipeline structure consists of 14 internal
conversion stages in which the analog signal is
fed and sequentially converted into digital data.
Each of the 14 stages consists of an Analog to
Digital converter, a Digital to Analog converter, a
Sample and Hold and an amplifier (gain=2). A 1.5bit conversion resolution is achieved in each
stage. Each resulting LSB-MSB couple is then
time-shifted to recover from the delay caused by
conversion. Digital data correction completes the
processing by recovering from the redundancy of
the (LSB-MSB) couple for each stage. The
corrected data are outputted through the digital
buffers.
Signal input is sampled on the rising edge of the
clock while digital outputs are delivered on the
falling edge of the clock.
The advantages of such a converter reside in the
combination of pipeline architecture and the most
advanced technologies. The highest dynamic
performances are achieved while consumption
remains at the lowest level.
5.1 Analog Input Configuration
Internal references, common mode:
When REFMODE is set to VIL level, TSA1401
operates with its own reference voltage generated
by its internal bandgap. VREFM pin is connected
externally to the Analog Ground while VREFP is
set to its internal voltage (0.86V). The full scale of
the ADC when using internal references is 1.8Vpp
(to reduce the full scale if desired, VREFM may be
forced externally).
In this case VREFP and INCM are low impedance
outputs. INCM pin (voltage generator 0.46V) may
be used to supply the common mode, CM of the
analog input signal.
External references, common mode:
In applications requiring a different full scale
magnitude, it is possible to force externally
VREFP and INCM (REFM must be connected to
analog ground or forced externally).
REFMODE set to VIH level will put in standby
mode the internal references. In this case,
VREFP, INCM are high impedance inputs and
have to be forced by external references.
TSA1401 shows better performances when the
full scale is increased by the use of external
references (see Figure 10 and 11).
Fig. 10: Linearity vs. VREFP
Fin=5MHz;Fs=20Mhz;Icca=26mA;INCM=0.45V
80
12.4
To maximize the TSA1401’s high-resolution and
speed, it is advisable to drive the analog input
differentially. The full scale of TSA1401 is
adjusted through the voltage value of VREFP and
VREFM:
VIN-VINB=2(VREFP-VREFM)
The differential analog input signal always
presents a common mode voltage, CM:
CM=(VIN+VINB)/2
In order for the user to select the right full scale
according to the application, a control pin,
REFMODE, allows to switch from internal to
external references.

An external reference voltage device may be used
for specific applications requiring even better
linearity, accuracy or enhanced temperature
behavior.
Using the STMicroelectronics TS821, TS4041-1.2
or TS431 Voltage Reference devices leads to
optimum performances when configured as
shown in Figure 12. The full scale is increased to
2.5Vpp differential and SNR and SINAD are
enhanced as shown in Figure 13 .

The magnitude of the analog input common
mode, CM should stay close to VREFP/2. Higher
level will introduce more distortion.
5.1.2 - Driving the analog input
The TSA1401 has been designed to be
differentially driven for better noise immunity.
Some measurements have been done with
single-ended signals. It degrades a little bit the
performances, with an SFDR of -75dBc and an
ENOB of 11.2 bits at 20Msps, Fin at 10MHz.
The switch-capacitor input structure of TSA1401,
presents a high input impedance (3.3kΩ at
Fs=20MHz) but not constant in time (see
equivalent input circuit Figure 15). Indeed at the
end of each conversion, the charge update of the

sampling capacitor will draw/inject a small current
transient on the input signal.
One method to mask this transient current is a
low-pass RC filter as shown on Figures 16 and
Figure 17. A larger capacitor value compared to
the sampling capacitor (appoximately 2pF)
mounted in parallel of the two analog inputs
signals will absorb the transient glitches.
configuration. Both inputs VIN and VINB are
centered around the common mode voltage CM,
that can be forced through INCM or supplied
externally (in this case the internal common mode
of the TSA1401 may be left internal at 0.45V,
different from the input common mode value).

5.2 - Clock management
Single-ended signal with transformer:
Using an RF transformer is a good means to
achieve high performance.
Figures 16 describes the schematics. The input
signal is fed to the primary of the transformer,
while the secondary drives both ADC inputs.
Fig. 16: Differential input configuration with
transformer
The converter performances are very dependant
on clock input accuracy, in terms of aperture delay
and jitter. The voltage error induced by the jitter of
the clock is:
Verror=SR.Tj,
where Tj is the jitter of the clock (system clock and
ADC) and,
SR is the slew rate of the input signal:
SR max=2Π.Fin.FS (FS full scale, Fin input signal
frequency)

Verror should be less than an LSB to guarantee no

Tj <FS/(2Π.Fs.Fin.2n).
For TSA1401 at 10MHz input frequency, we have
The internal common mode voltage of the ADC
(INCM) is connected to the center-tap of the
secondary of the transformer in order to bias the
input signal around this common voltage,
internally set to 0.46V. The INCM is decoupled to
maintain a low noise level on this node.
AC coupled differential input:

input signal in AC-coupled differential input

Tj <1ps. Consequently to target the maximum
performances of the TSA1401, the clock applied
should have a jitter below 1ps.
The clock power supplies must be separated from
the ADC output ones to avoid digital noise
modulation at the output.
It is strongly advised not to switch off the clock
when the circuit is active (power supply on).

5.3 - Power consumption optimization
The internal architecture of the TSA1401 enables
the optimization of the power consumption
according to the sampling frequency of the
application. For this purpose, a resistor (value
Rpol) is placed between IPOL and the analog
Ground pins. At 20MHz sampling frequency, the
Rpol for optimized consumption is equal to 41kΩ.
Optimized power consumption of the circuit
versus the sampling frequency are shown in two
configurations (Figure 18):
l REFMODE=0 internal references
l REFMODE=1 external references

The timing diagram page 4 summarizes this
operating cycle.
Out of Range (OR)
This function is implemented on the output stage
in order to set up an "Out of Range" flag whenever
the digital data is over the full scale range.
Typically, there is a detection of all the data being
at ’0’ or all the data being at ’1’. This ends up with
an output signal OR which is in low level state
(VOL) when the data stay within the range, or in
high level state (VOH) when the data are out of
the range.
Data Ready (DR)
140
40
When OEB is set to low level again, the data is
then valid on the output with a very short Ton
delay(1ns).
The Data Ready output is an image of the clock
being synchronized on the output data (D0 to
D13). This is a very helpful signal that simplifies
the synchronization of the measurement
equipment or the controlling DSP.
As digital output, DR goes in high impedance
state when OEB is asserted to High level as
described in the timing diagram page 4.

5.5 - Layout precautions
Data Format Select (DFSB)
To use the TSA1401 circuit in the best manner at
high frequencies, some precautions have to be
taken for power supplies:
When set to low level (VIL), the digital input DFSB
provides a two’s complement digital output MSB.
This can be of interest when performing some
further signal processing.
- The separation of the analog signal from the
digital part and from the buffers power supply is
essential to prevent noise from coupling onto the
input signal.
When set to high level (VIH), DFSB provides a
standard binary output coding.
- Power supply bypass capacitors must be placed
as close as possible to the IC pins in order to
improve high frequency bypassing and reduce
harmonic distortion.
5.4 - Digital outputs
Output Enable (OEB)
When set to low level (VIL), all digital outputs
remain active and are in low impedance state.
When set to high level (VIH), all digital outputs
buffers are in high impedance state. It results in
lower consumption while the converter goes on
sampling.
- Proper termination of all inputs and outputs is
needed; with output termination resistors, the
amplifier load will be only resistive and the stability
of the amplifier will be improved. All leads must be
wide and as short as possible especially for the
analog input in order to decrease parasitic
capacitance and inductance.
15/19
TSA1401
- To keep the capacitive loading as low as
possible at digital outputs, short lead lengths
when routing are essential to minimize currents
when the output changes. To minimize this output
capacitance, buffers or latches close to the output
pins can relax this constraint. It is also helpful to
use 47 to 56 ohms series resistors at the ADC
output pins, located as close to the ADC output
pins as possible.
- Choose component sizes as small as possible
(SMD).
EVAL1401 evaluation board
The characterization of the board has been made
with a fully ADC devoted test bench.
The schematic of the evaluation board is shown
on figure 19. The analog signal must be filtered to
be very pure.
The dataready signal is the acquisition clock of the
logic analyzer.
All characterization measurement has been made
with an input amplitude of +0.2dB for static
parameters and -0.5dB for dynamic parameters
