DESCRIPTION
The ADS804 is a high-speed, high dynamic range, 12-bit pipelined
analog-to-digital converter. This converter includes a high-bandwidth track/hold that gives excellent spurious performance up to
and beyond the Nyquist rate. This high-bandwidth, linear track/hold
minimizes harmonics and has low jitter, leading to excellent SNR
performance. The ADS804 is also pin-compatible with the 5MHz
ADS803 and the 20MHz ADS805.
The ADS804 provides an internal reference and can be programmed
for a 2Vp-p input range for the best spurious performance and ease
of driving. Alternatively, the 5Vp-p input range can be used for the
lowest input referred noise of 0.09 LSBs rms giving superior

imaging performance. There is also a capability to set the input
range in between the 2Vp-p and 5Vp-p input ranges or to use
external reference. The ADS804 also provides an overrange indicator flag to indicate an input range that exceeds the full-scale input
range of the converter. This flag can be used to reduce the gain of
the front end gain-ranging circuitry.
The ADS804 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
communications, medical imaging, video and test instrumentation
applications. The ADS804 is available in 28-Lead SSOP and SOIC
packages.

ADS804
APPLICATION INFORMATION
input of the ADS804 will be beneficial in almost all interface
configurations. This will decouple the op amp’s output from
the capacitive load and avoid gain peaking, which can result
in increased noise. For best spurious and distortion performance, the resistor value should be kept below 100Ω.
Furthermore, the series resistor together with the 100pF
capacitor establish a passive low-pass filter, limiting the
bandwidth for the wideband noise thus, help improving the
SNR performance.
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUT
The ADS804 allows its analog inputs to be driven either
single-ended or differentially. The focus of the following
discussion is on the single-ended configuration. Typically,
its implementation is easier to achieve and the rated specifications for the ADS804 are characterized using the singleended mode of operation.
DC-COUPLED WITHOUT LEVEL SHIFT
In some applications the analog input signal may already be
biased at a level which complies with the selected input
range and reference level of the ADS804. In this case, it is
only necessary to provide an adequately low source impedance to the selected input, IN or IN. Always consider
wideband op amps since their output impedance will stay
low over a wide range of frequencies. For those applications
requiring the driving amplifier to provide a signal amplification, with a gain ≥ 3, consider using the decompensated
voltage feedback op amp OPA643.
AC-COUPLED INPUT CONFIGURATION
Given in Figure 1 is the circuit example of the most common
interface configuration for the ADS804. With the VREF pin
connected to the SEL pin, the full-scale input range is
defined to be 2Vp-p. This signal is ac-coupled in singleended form to the ADS804 using the low distortion voltagefeedback amplifier OPA642. As is generally necessary for
single supply components, operating the ADS804 with a
full-scale input signal swing requires a level-shift of the
amplifier’s zero centered analog signal to comply with the
A/D converters input range requirements. Using a DC blocking capacitor between the output of the driving amplifier and
the converter’s input, a simple level-shifting scheme can be
implemented. In this configuration, the top and bottom
references (REFT, REFB) provide an output voltage of +3V
and +2V, respectively. Here, two resistor pairs (2 x 2kΩ) are
used to create a common-mode voltage of approximately
+2.5V to bias the inputs of the ADS804 (IN, IN) to the
required DC voltage.
DC-COUPLED WITH LEVEL SHIFT
Several applications may require that the bandwidth of the
signal path include DC, in which case the signal has to be
DC-coupled to the A/D converter. In order to accomplish
this, the interface circuit has to provide a DC-level shift. The
circuit shown in Figure 2 employs an op amp, A1, to sum the
ground centered input signal with a required DC offset. The
ADS804 typically operates with a +2.5V common-mode
voltage, which is established at the center tap of the ladder
and connected to the IN input of the converter. Amplifier A1
operates in inverting configuration. Here resistors R1 and R2
set the DC-bias level for A1. Because of the op amp’s noise
gain of +2V/V, assuming RF = RIN, the DC offset voltage
applied to its non-inverting input has to be divided down to
+1.25V, resulting in a DC output voltage of +2.5V.
An advantage of ac-coupling is that the driving amplifier
still operates with a ground-based signal swing. This will
keep the distortion performance at its optimum since the
signal swing stays within the linear region of the op amp and
sufficient headroom to the supply rails can be maintained.
Consider using the inverting gain configuration to eliminate
CMR induced errors of the amplifier. The addition of a small
series resistor (RS) between the output of the op amp and the

DC voltage differences between the IN and IN inputs of the
ADS804 effectively will produce an offset, which can be
corrected for by adjusting the values of resistors R1 and R2.
The bias current of the op amp may also result in an
undesired offset. The selection criteria of the appropriate op
amp should include the input bias current, output voltage
swing, distortion and noise specification. Note that in this
example the overall signal phase is inverted. To re-establish
the original signal polarity it is always possible to interchange the IN and IN connections.

SINGLE-ENDED-TO-DIFFERENTIAL
CONFIGURATION (TRANSFORMER COUPLED)
In order to select the best suited interface circuit for the
ADS804, the performance requirements must be known. If
an ac-coupled input is needed for a particular application,
the next step is to determine the method of applying the
signal; either single-ended or differentially. The differential
input configuration may provide a noticeable advantage of
achieving good SFDR performance based on the fact that in
the differential mode, the signal swing can be reduced to half
of the swing required for single-ended drive. Secondly, by
driving the ADS804 differentially, the even-order harmonics
will be reduced. Figure 3 shows the schematic for the
suggested transformer-coupled interface circuit. The resistor
across the secondary side (RT) should be set to get an input
impedance match (e.g., RT = n2 • RG).

flexibility, the internal reference can be shut off and an

REFERENCE OPERATION
Integrated into the ADS804 is a bandgap reference circuit
including logic that provides either a +1V or +2.5V reference output, by simply selecting the corresponding pin-strap
configuration. Different reference voltages can be generated
by the use of two external resistors, which will set a different

FIGURE 4. Equivalent Reference Circuit.
A simple model of the internal reference circuit is shown in
Figure 4. The internal blocks are a 1V-bandgap voltage
reference, buffer, the resistive reference ladder and the
drivers for the top and bottom reference which supply the
necessary current to the internal nodes. As shown, the output
of the buffer appears at the VREF pin. The full-scale input
span of the ADS804 is determined by the voltage at VREF,
according to the equation (1):
Full-Scale Input Span = 2 x VREF
operation with all reference configurations, it is necessary to
provide solid bypassing to the reference pins in order to keep
the clock feedthrough to a minimum. Figure 5 shows the
recommended decoupling network.

Note that the current drive capability of this amplifier is
limited to about 1mA and should not be used to drive low
loads. The programmable reference circuit is controlled by
the voltage applied to the select pin (SEL). Refer to Table I
for an overview.
IN
In addition, the common-mode voltage (CMV) may be used
as a reference level to provide the appropriate offset for the
driving circuitry. However, care must be taken not to appreciably load this node, which is not buffered and has a high
impedance. An alternate method of generating a commonmode voltage is given in Figure 6. Here, two external
precision resistors (tolerance 1% or better) are located between the top and bottom reference pins. The commonmode level will appear at the midpoint. The output buffers
of the top and bottom reference are designed to supply
approximately 2mA of output current.

SELECTING THE INPUT RANGE AND
REFERENCE
Figures 7 through 9 show a selection of circuits for the most
common input ranges when using the internal reference of
the ADS804. All examples are for single-ended input and
operate with a nominal common-mode voltage of +2.5V.
EXTERNAL REFERENCE OPERATION
Depending on the application requirements, it might be
advantageous to operate the ADS804 with an external
reference. This may improve the DC accuracy if the external
reference circuitry is superior in its drift and accuracy. To
use the ADS804 with an external reference, the user must
disable the internal reference (see Figure 10). By connecting
the SEL pin to +VS, the internal logic will shut down the
internal reference. At the same time, the output of the
internal reference buffer is disconnected from the VREF pin,
which now must be driven with the external reference. Note
that a similar bypassing scheme should be maintained as
described for the internal reference operation.

DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Over Range (OVR)
One feature of the ADS804 is its ‘Over Range’ digital output
(OVR). This pin can be used to monitor any out-of-range
condition, which occurs every time the applied analog input
voltage exceeds the input range (set by VREF). The OVR
output is LOW when the input voltage is within the defined
input range. It becomes HIGH when the input voltage is
beyond the input range. This is the case when the input
voltage is either below the bottom reference voltage or
above the top reference voltage. OVR will remain active
until the analog input returns to its normal signal range and
another conversion is completed. Using the MSB and its
complement in conjunction with OVR a simple clue logic
can be built that detects the overrange and underrange
conditions, (see Figure 11). It should be noted that OVR is
a digital output which is updated along with the bit information corresponding to the particular sampling incidence of
the analog signal. Therefore, the OVR data is subject to the
same pipeline delay (latency) as the digital data.

necessary, external buffers or latches may be used which
provide the added benefit of isolating the ADS804 from any
digital noise activities on the bus coupling back high frequency noise. In addition, resistors in series with each data
line may help maintain the ac performance of the ADS804.
Their use depends on the capacitive loading seen by the
converter. Values in the range of 100Ω to 200Ω will limit
the instantaneous current the output stage has to provide for
recharging the parasitic capacitances, as the output levels
change from L to H or H to L.

GROUNDING AND DECOUPLING
Proper grounding and bypassing, short lead length, and the
use of ground planes are particularly important for high
frequency designs. Multi-layer PC boards are recommended
for best performance since they offer distinct advantages
like minimizing ground impedance, separation of signal
layers by ground layers, etc. It is recommended that the
analog and digital ground pins of the ADS804 be joined
together at the IC and be connected only to the analog
ground of the system.

Overrange Condition.
CLOCK INPUT REQUIREMENTS
Clock jitter is critical to the SNR performance of high speed,
high resolution analog-to-digital converters. It leads to aperture jitter (tA) which adds noise to the signal being converted. The ADS804 samples the input signal on the rising
edge of the CLK input. Therefore, this edge should have the
lowest possible jitter. The jitter noise contribution to total
SNR is given by the following equation. If this value is near
your system requirements, input clock jitter must be reduced.
JitterSNR = 20 log
The ADS804 has analog and digital supply pins, however,
the converter should be treated as an analog component and
all supply pins should be powered by the analog supply. This
will ensure the most consistent results, since digital supply
lines often carry high levels of noise that would otherwise be
coupled into the converter and degrade the achievable performance.

rms signal to rms noise
2 π ƒ IN t A
Because of the pipeline architecture, the converter also
generates high frequency current 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 12 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 to the supply pins
as possible. In addition, a larger size bipolar capacitor (1µF
to 22µF) should be placed on the PC board in close proximity to the converter circuit.
Where: ƒIN is Input Signal Frequency
tA is rms Clock Jitter
Particularly in undersampling applications, special consideration should be given to clock jitter. The clock input should
be treated as an analog input in order to achieve the highest
level of performance. Any overshoot or undershoot of the
clock signal may cause degradation of the performance.
When digitizing at high sampling rates, the clock should
have a 50% duty cycle (tH = tL), along with fast rise and fall
times of 2ns or less.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The digital outputs of the ADS804 are designed to be
compatible with both high speed TTL and CMOS logic
families. The driver stage for the digital outputs is supplied
through a separate supply pin, VDRV, which is not connected to the analog supply pins. By adjusting the voltage on
VDRV, the digital output levels will vary respectively.
Therefore, it is possible to operate the ADS804 on a +5V
analog supply while interfacing the digital outputs to 3V
logic.

It is recommended to keep the capacitive loading on the data
lines as low as possible (≤ 15pF). Larger capacitive loads
demand higher charging currents as the outputs are changing. Those high current surges can feed back to the analog
portion of the ADS804 and influence the performance. If
