description
The THS1060 is a high speed low noise 10-bit CMOS pipelined analog-to-digital converter. A differential sample
and hold minimizes even order harmonics and allows for a high degree of common mode rejection at the analog
input. A buffered analog input allows for operation with a constant analog input impedance, and prevents
transient voltage spikes from feeding backward to the analog input source. Full temperature DNL performance
allows for industrial application with the assurance of no missing codes. The THS1060 can operate with either
internal or external references. Internal reference usage selection is accomplished simply by externally
connecting reference output terminals to reference input terminals. Packaged in a small 48-pin quad flat-pack,
the THS1060 makes use of Texas Instruments PowerPAD technology. The die of the THS1060 is bonded
directly to a copper alloy plate which is exposed on the bottom of the package. When soldered to a ground land,
the PowerPAD provides superior heat dissipation and thermal performance ideal for industrial applications
in high temperature environments.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of
Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

detailed description
The THS1060 uses a differential pipeline architecture and assures no missing codes over the full operating
temperature range. The device uses a 1 bit per stage architecture in order to achieve the highest possible
bandwidth. The differential analog inputs are terminated with a 900 Ω resistor. The inputs are then fed to a unity
gain buffer followed by the S/H (sample and hold) stage. This S/H stage is a switched capacitor op-amp based
circuit, see Figure 3. The pipeline is a typical 1 bit per stage pipeline as shown in the functional block diagram.
The digital output of the 10 stages and the last 1 bit flash are sent to a digital correction logic block which then
outputs the final 10 bits.

definitions of specifications
analog bandwidth
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of the fundamental frequency of a large input signal
is reduced by 3 dB.
aperture delay
The delay between the 50% point of the rising edge of the clock and the instant at which the analog input is
sampled.
aperture uncertainity (jitter)
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay
differential nonlinearity
The average deviation of any output code from the ideal width of 1 LSB.
clock pulse width/duty cycle
Pulse width high is the minimum amount of time that the clock pulse should be left in logic 1 state to achieve
rated performance; pulse width low is the minimum time clock pulse should be left in low state. At a given clock
rate, these specs define acceptable clock duty cycles.
offset error
The difference between the analog input voltage at which the analog-to-digital converter output changes from
negative full scale, to one LSB above negative full scale, and the ideal voltage at which this transition should
occur.
gain error
The maximum error in LSBs between a digitized ideal full scale low frequency offset corrected triangle wave
analog input, from the ideal digitized full scale triangle wave, divided by the full scale range, in this case 1024.
harmonic distortion
The ratio of the power of the fundamental to a given harmonic component reported in dBc.
integral nonlinearity
The deviation of the transfer function from an end-point adjusted reference line measured in fractions of 1 LSB.
Also the integral of the DNL curve.
output delay
The delay between the 50% point of the falling edge of the clock and signal and the time when all output data
bits are within valid logic levels (not including pipeline delay).
signal-to-noise-and distortion (SINAD)
When tested with a single tone, the ratio of the signal power to the sum of the power of all other spectral
components, excluding dc, referenced to full scale.
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
When tested with a single tone, the ratio of the signal power to the sum of the power of all other power spectral
components, excluding dc and the first 9 harmonics, referenced to full scale.
effective number of bits (ENOB)
For a sine wave, SINAD can be expressed in terms of the number of bits, using the following formula,
ENOB
+ (SINAD6.02* 1.76)
spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR)
The ratio of the signal power to the power of the worst spur, excluding dc. The worst spurious component may
or may not be a harmonic. The ratio is reported in dBc (that is, degrades as signal levels are lowered).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
using the THS1060 references
The option of internal or external reference is provided by allowing for an external connection of the internal
reference to the reference inputs. This type of reference selection offers the lowest noise possible by not relying
on any active switch to make the selection. Compensating each reference output with a 1-µF and 0.01 µF
microwave chip capacitor is required as shown in Figure 19. The differential analog input range is equal to
2 (VREFOUT+ – VREFOUT–). When using external references, it is best to decouple the reference inputs with a
0.1 µF and 0.01 µF chip capacitor as shown in Figure 20.

using the THS1060 clock input
The THS1060 is a high performance A/D converter. In order to obtain the best possible performance, care
should be taken to ensure that the device is clocked appropriately. The optimal clock to the device is a low jitter
square wave with sharp rise times (< 2ns) at 50% duty cycle. The two clock inputs (CLK+ and CLK–), should
be driven with complimentary signals that have minimal skew, and nominally swing between 0 V and 5 V. The
device will still operate with a peak to peak swing of 3 V on each clock channel (around the 2.5 V midpoint), but
it could become more duty cycle sensitive under such conditions.
Use of a transformer coupled clock input ensures minimal skew between the CLK+ and CLK– signals. If the
available clock signal swing is not adequate, a step-up transformer can be used in order to deliver the required
levels to the converter’s inputs, see Figure 21. For example if a 3.3 V standard CMOS logic is used for clock
generation, a minicircuits T4 –1H transformer can be used for 2x voltage step-up. This provides greater than
6 V differential swing at the secondary of the transformer, which provides greater than 3 V swings to both CLK+
and CLK– terminals of THS1060. The center tap of the transformer secondary is connected to the VCM terminal
of the THS1060 for proper dc biasing.
Both the transformer and the clock source should be placed close to THS1060 to avoid transmission line effects.
3.3 V TTL logic is not recommended with T4 –1H transformer due to TTLs tendency to have lower output swings.
If the input to the transformer is a square wave (such as one generated by a digital driver), care must be taken
to ensure that the transformer’s bandwidth does not limit the signal’s rise time and effectively alter its shape and
duty cycle characteristics. For a 60 MSPS rate, the transformer’s bandwidth should be at least 300 MHz. A low
phase noise sinewave can also be used to effectively drive the THS1060. In this case, the bandwidth of the
transformer becomes less critical, as long as it can accommodate the frequency of interest (for example, 60
MHz). The turns ratio should be chosen to ensure appropriate levels at the device’s input. If the clock signal
is fed through a transmission line of characteristic impedance Zo , then the secondary of the transformer should
be terminated with a resistor of nZo , where n is the transformer’s impedance ratio (1:n) as shown in Figure 21.
Alternatively a series termination can be used at the clock source.

The clock signals, CLK+ and CLK– should be well matched and must both be driven.
A transformer ensures minimal skew between the two complementary channels. However, skew levels of up
to 500 ps between CLK+ and CLK– can be tolerated with some performance degradation.
The clock input can also be driven differentially with a 5 V TTL signal by using an RF transformer to convert the
TTL signal to a differential signal. The TTL signal is ac coupled to the positive primary terminal with a high pass
circuit. The negative terminal of the transformer is connected to ground (see Figure 22). The transformer
secondary is connected to the CLK inputs.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
using the analog input
The THS1060 obtains optimum performance when the analog signal inputs are driven differentially. The circuit
below shows the optimum configuration, see Figure 23. The signal is fed to the primary of an RF transformer.
Since the input signal must be biased around the common mode voltage of the internal circuitry, the common
mode (VCM) reference from the THS1060 is connected to the center-tap of the secondary. To ensure a steady
low noise VCM reference the best performance is obtained when the VCM output is connected to ground with
a 0.1 µF and 0.01 µF low inductance capacitor.

When it is necessary to buffer or apply a gain to the incoming analog signal, it is also possible to combine a
single-ended amplifier with an RF transformer as shown in Figure 24. For this application, a wide-band current
mode feedback amplifier such as the THS3001 is best. The single ended output allows the use of standard
passive filters between the amplifier output and the primary. In this case, the SFDR of the op amp is not as critical
as that of the A/D converter. While harmonics generated from within the A/D converter fold back into the first
Nyquist zone, harmonics generated externally in the op amps can be filtered out with passive filters.

digital outputs
The digital outputs can drive either TTL or 5-V CMOS inputs when DRVDD = 5 V. To reduce capacitive loading,
each digital output of the THS1060 should drive only one digital input. The CMOS output drivers are capable
of handling up to a 15 pF load. For better SNR performance, use 3.3 V for DRVDD. Resistors of 200-Ω in series
with the digital output can be used for optimizing SNR performance.
power supplies
Best performance is obtained when AVDD is kept separate from DVDD. Regulated or linear supplies, as opposed
to switched power supplies, must be used to minimize supply noise. It is also recommended to partition the
analog and digital components on the board in such a way that the analog supply plane does not overlap with
the digital supply plane in order to limit dielectric coupling between the different supplies.
using the TI PowerPAD
While it is not necessary to use the Texas Instruments PowerPAD to meet the minimum and maximum specs
indicated in this spec sheet, proper use of the PowerPAD will improve the performance of the THS1060
especially at TA = 85°C.
For high speed sampling applications (around 60 MSPS), significant performance enhancement above the
specified values can be achieved by properly applying the PowerPAD. This will maintain the junction
temperature of the device at significantly lower levels and render the device even more insensitive to duty cycle
variations on the clock, as shown in Figure 18.
The THS1060 package makes use of the Texas Instruments PowerPAD which, when soldered to a thermal
land, creates a highly efficient path for heat energy and ground noise currents from the circuit die to the PCB
ground plane. The silicon die in a PowerPAD package is bonded to a copper alloy plate with a thin layer of
thermally and electrically conductive epoxy. The copper alloy plate or PowerPAD is exposed on the bottom
of the device package for a direct solder attachment to a PCB land or conductive pad. The land dimensions
should have minimum dimensions equal to the package dimensions minus 2 mm, see Figure 25.
For a multilayer circuit board, a second land having dimensions equal to or greater than the land to which the
device is soldered should be placed on the back of the circuit board (see Figure 26). A total of 9 thermal vias
or plated through-holes should be used to connect the two lands to a ground plane (buried or otherwise) having
a minimum total area of 3 inches square in 1 oz. copper. For the THS1060 package, the thermal via centers
should be spaced at a minimum of 1 mm. The ground plane need not be directly under or centered around the
device footprint if a wide ground plane thermal run having a width on the order of the device is used to channel
the heat from the vias to the larger portion of the ground plane. The THS1060 package has a standoff of 0.19
mm or 7.5 mils. In order to apply the proper amount of solder paste to the land. a solder paste stencil with a 6
mils thickness is recommended for this device. Too thin a stencil may lead to an inadequate connection to the
land. Too thick a stencil may lead to beading of solder in the vicinity of the pins which may lead to shorts. For
more information, refer to Texas Instruments literature number SLMA002 PowerPAD Thermally Enhanced
Package.
