ADC08D1000
High Performance, Low Power, Dual 8-Bit, 1 GSPS A/D
Converter
General Description
Features
The ADC08D1000 is a dual, low power, high performance
CMOS analog-to-digital converter that digitizes signals to 8
bits resolution at sampling rates up to 1.3 GSPS. Consuming
a typical 1.6 Watts at 1 GSPS from a single 1.9 Volt supply,
this device is guaranteed to have no missing codes over the
full operating temperature range. The unique folding and
interpolating architecture, the fully differential comparator
design, the innovative design of the internal sample-andhold amplifier and the self-calibration scheme enable a very
flat response of all dynamic parameters beyond Nyquist,
producing a high 7.4 ENOB with a 500 MHz input signal and
a 1 GHz sample rate while providing a 10-18 B.E.R. Output
formatting is offset binary and the LVDS digital outputs are
compliant with IEEE 1596.3-1996, with the exception of an
adjustable common mode voltage between 0.8V and 1.2V.
Each converter has a 1:2 demultiplexer that feeds two LVDS
buses and reduces the output data rate on each bus to half
the sampling rate. The two converters can be interleaved
and used as a single 2 GSPS ADC.
The converter typically consumes less than 3.5 mW in the
Power Down Mode and is available in a 128-lead, thermally
enhanced exposed pad LQFP and operates over the Industrial (-40˚C ≤ TA ≤ +85˚C) temperature range.

Description
OutV / SCLK
Output Voltage Amplitude and Serial Interface Clock. Tie this
pin high for normal differential DCLK and data amplitude.
Ground this pin for a reduced differential output amplitude and
reduced power consumption. See Section 1.1.6. When the
extended control mode is enabled, this pin functions as the
SCLK input which clocks in the serial data.See Section 1.2 for
details on the extended control mode. See Section 1.3 for
description of the serial interface.
4
OutEdge / DDR
/ SDATA
DCLK Edge Select, Double Data Rate Enable and Serial Data
Input. This input sets the output edge of DCLK+ at which the
output data transitions. (See Section 1.1.5.2). When this pin is
floating or connected to 1/2 the supply voltage, DDR clocking
is enabled. When the extended control mode is enabled, this
pin functions as the SDATA input. See Section 1.2 for details
on the extended control mode. See Section 1.3 for description
of the serial interface.
15
DCLK_RST
DCLK Reset. A positive pulse on this pin is used to reset and
synchronize the DCLK outs of multiple converters. See
Section 1.5 for detailed description.
26
29
PD
PDQ
Power Down Pins. A logic high on the PD pin puts the entire
device into the Power Down Mode. A logic high on the PDQ
pin puts only the "Q" ADC into the Power Down mode.
CAL
Calibration Cycle Initiate. A minimum 80 input clock cycles
logic low followed by a minimum of 80 input clock cycles high
on this pin initiates the self calibration sequence. See Section
2.4.2 for an overview of self-calibration and Section 2.4.2.2 for
a description of on-command calibration.
FSR/ECE
Full Scale Range Select and Extended Control Enable. In
non-extended control mode, a logic low on this pin sets the
full-scale differential input range to 650 mVP-P. A logic high on
this pin sets the full-scale differential input range to 870
mVP-P. See Section 1.1.4. To enable the extended control
mode, whereby the serial interface and control registers are
employed, allow this pin to float or connect it to a voltage
equal to VA/2. See Section 1.2 for information on the
extended control mode.
CalDly / DES /
SCS
Calibration Delay, Dual Edge Sampling and Serial Interface
Chip Select. With a logic high or low on pin 14, this pin
functions as Calibration Delay and sets the number of input
clock cycles after power up before calibration begins (See
Section 1.1.1). With pin 14 floating, this pin acts as the enable
pin for the serial interface input and the CalDly value
becomes "0" (short delay with no provision for a long
power-up calibration delay). When this pin is floating or
connected to a voltage equal to VA/2, DES (Dual Edge
Sampling) mode is selected where the "I" input is sampled at
twice the input clock rate and the "Q" input is ignored. See
Section 1.1.5.1.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. There is no guarantee of operation at the Absolute Maximum
Ratings. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and
test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may
degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = DR GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply limits (that is, less than GND or greater than VA), the current at that pin should be limited to
25 mA. The 50 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 25 mA to two.
This limit is not placed upon the power, ground and digital output pins.
Note 4: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through ZERO Ohms.
Note 5: See AN-450, “Surface Mounting Methods and Their Effect on Product Reliability”.
Note 6: The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes beyond the Absolute Maximum Ratings may damage this device.
20097404
Note 7: To guarantee accuracy, it is required that VA and VDR be well bypassed. Each supply pin must be decoupled with separate bypass capacitors. Additionally,
achieving rated performance requires that the backside exposed pad be well grounded.
Note 8: Typical figures are at TA = 25˚C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality
Level).
Note 9: Calculation of Full-Scale Error for this device assumes that the actual reference voltage is exactly its nominal value. Full-Scale Error for this device,
therefore, is a combination of Full-Scale Error and Reference Voltage Error. See Figure 2. For relationship between Gain Error and Full-Scale Error, see Specification
Definitions for Gain Error.
Note 10: The analog and clock input capacitances are die capacitances only. Additional package capacitances of 0.65 pF differential and 0.95 pF each pin to ground
are isolated from the die capacitances by lead and bond wire inductances.
Note 11: This parameter is guaranteed by design and is not tested in production.
Note 12: This parameter is guaranteed by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.
Note 13: The digital control pin capacitances are die capacitances only. Additional package capacitance of 1.6 pF each pin to ground are isolated from the die
capacitances by lead and bond wire inductances.
Note 14: Each of the two converters of the ADC08D1000 has two LVDS output buses, which each clock data out at one half the sample rate. The data at each bus
is clocked out at one half the sample rate. The second bus (D0 through D7) has a pipeline latency that is one Input Clock cycle less than the latency of the first bus
(Dd0 through Dd7).
Note 15: Tying VBG to the supply rail will increase the output offset voltage (VOS) by 400mv (typical), as shown in the VOS specification above. Tying VBG to the
supply rail will also affect the differential LVDS output voltage (VOD), causing it to increase by 40mV (typical).

Specification Definitions
APERTURE (SAMPLING) DELAY is that time required after
the fall of the clock input for the sampling switch to open. The
Sample/Hold circuit effectively stops capturing the input signal and goes into the “hold” mode the aperture delay time
(tAD) after the input clock goes low.
APERTURE JITTER (tAJ) is the variation in aperture delay
from sample to sample. Aperture jitter shows up as input
noise.
Bit Error Rate (B.E.R.) is the probability of error and is
defined as the probable number of errors per unit of time
divided by the number of bits seen in that amount of time. A
B.E.R. of 10-18 corresponds to a statistical error in one bit
about every four (4) years.
20097446
FIGURE 1.
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that the clock
wave form is at a logic high to the total time of one clock
period.
LVDS OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE (VOS) is the midpoint
between the D+ and D- pins output voltage; ie., [(VD+) +(
VD-)]/2.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of
the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB.
Measured at 1 GSPS with a ramp input.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that are skipped
and will never appear at the ADC outputs. These codes
cannot be reached with any input value.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE
BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise and
Distortion Ratio, or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD −
1.76) / 6.02 and says that the converter is equivalent to a
perfect ADC of this (ENOB) number of bits.
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH (FPBW) is a measure of the
frequency at which the reconstructed output fundamental
drops 3 dB below its low frequency value for a full scale
input.
MSB (MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the
largest value or weight. Its value is one half of full scale.
NEGATIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (NFSE) is a measure of
how far the last code transition is from the ideal 1/2 LSB
above a differential −435 mV with the FSR pin high, or 1/2
LSB above a differential −325 mV with the FSR pin low. For
the ADC08D1000 the reference voltage is assumed to be
ideal, so this error is a combination of full-scale error and
reference voltage error.
OFFSET ERROR (VOFF) is a measure of how far the midscale point is from the ideal zero voltage differential input.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the
transfer function. It can be calculated from Offset and FullScale Errors:
Positive Gain Error = Offset Error − Positive Full-Scale
Error
Offset Error = Actual Input causing average of 8k
samples to result in an average code of 127.5.
OUTPUT DELAY (tOD) is the time delay (in addition to
Pipeline Delay) after the falling edge of DCLK before the
data update is present at the output pins.
OVER-RANGE RECOVERY TIME is the time required after
the differential input voltages goes from ± 1.2V to 0V for the
converter to recover and make a conversion with its rated
accuracy.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of input clock
cycles between initiation of conversion and when that data is
presented to the output driver stage. New data is available at
every clock cycle, but the data lags the conversion by the
Pipeline Delay plus the tOD.
POSITIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (PFSE) is a measure of
how far the last code transition is from the ideal 1-1/2 LSB
below a differential +435 mV with the FSR pin high, or 1-1/2
LSB below a differential +325 mV with the FSR pin low. For
the ADC08D1000 the reference voltage is assumed to be
ideal, so this error is a combination of full-scale error and
reference voltage error.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) can be one
of two specifications. PSRR1 (DC PSRR) is the ratio of the
change in full-scale error that results from a power supply
voltage change from 1.8V to 2.0V. PSRR2 (AC PSRR) is a
measure of how well an a.c. signal riding upon the power
supply is rejected from the output and is measured with a
248 MHz, 50 mVP-P signal riding upon the power supply. It is
the ratio of the output amplitude of that signal at the output to
its amplitude on the power supply pin. PSRR is expressed in
dB.
Negative Gain Error = −(Offset Error − Negative FullScale Error)
Gain Error = Negative Full-Scale Error − Positive FullScale Error = Positive Gain Error + Negative Gain Error
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the
deviation of each individual code from a straight line through
the input to output transfer function. The deviation of any
given code from this straight line is measured from the
center of that code value. The best fit method is used.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is the creation of
additional spectral components as a result of two sinusoidal
frequencies being applied to the ADC input at the same time.
It is defined as the ratio of the power in the second and third
order intermodulation products to the power in one of the
original frequencies. IMD is usually expressed in dBFS.
LSB (LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the
smallest value or weight of all bits. This value is
VFS / 2n
where VFS is the differential full-scale amplitude of 650 mV
or 870 mV as set by the FSR input and "n" is the ADC
resolution in bits, which is 8 for the ADC08D1000.
LVDS DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE (VOD) is the
absolute value of the difference between the VD+ & VDoutputs; each measured with respect to Ground.

SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in
dB, of the rms value of the input signal at the output to the
rms value of the sum of all other spectral components below
one-half the sampling frequency, not including harmonics or
d.c.
where Af1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output)
frequency and Af2 through Af10 are the RMS power of the
first 9 harmonic frequencies in the output spectrum.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/(N+D) or SINAD) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the
input signal at the output to the rms value of all of the other
spectral components below half the input clock frequency,
including harmonics but excluding d.c.
– Second Harmonic Distortion (2nd Harm) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the input
frequency seen at the output and the power in its 2nd
harmonic level at the output.
SPURIOUS-FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the rms values of the input
signal at the output and the peak spurious signal, where a
spurious signal is any signal present in the output spectrum
that is not present at the input, excluding d.c.
– Third Harmonic Distortion (3rd Harm) is the difference
expressed in dB between the RMS power in the input frequency seen at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic
level at the output.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio expressed in dB, of the rms total of the first nine harmonic
levels at the output to the level of the fundamental at the
output. THD is calculated as

The ADC08D1000 is a versatile A/D Converter with an innovative architecture permitting very high speed operation. The
controls available ease the application of the device to circuit
solutions. Optimum performance requires adherence to the
provisions discussed here and in the Applications Information Section.
During the calibration process, the input termination resistor
is trimmed to a value that is equal to REXT / 33. This external
resistor is located between pin 32 and ground. REXT must be
3300 Ω ± 0.1%. With this value, the input termination resistor
is trimmed to be 100 Ω. Because REXT is also used to set the
proper current for the Track and Hold amplifier, for the
preamplifiers and for the comparators, other values of REXT
should not be used.
While it is generally poor practice to allow an active pin to
float, pins 4, 14 and 127 of the ADC08D1000 are designed to
be left floating without jeopardy. In all discussions throughout
this data sheet, whenever a function is called by allowing a
control pin to float, connecting that pin to a potential of one
half the VA supply voltage will have the same effect as
allowing it to float.
In normal operation, calibration is performed just after application of power and whenever a valid calibration command
is given, which is holding the CAL pin low for at least 80 input
clock cycles, then hold it high for at least another 80 input
clock cycles. The time taken by the calibration procedure is
specified in the A.C. Characteristics Table. Holding the CAL
pin high upon power up will prevent the calibration process
from running until the CAL pin experiences the abovementioned 80 input clock cycles low followed by 80 cycles
high.
1.1 OVERVIEW
The ADC08D1000 uses a calibrated folding and interpolating
architecture that achieves over 7.5 effective bits. The use of
folding amplifiers greatly reduces the number of comparators
and power consumption. Interpolation reduces the number
of front-end amplifiers required, minimizing the load on the
input signal and further reducing power requirements. In
addition to other things, on-chip calibration reduces the INL
bow often seen with folding architectures. The result is an
extremely fast, high performance, low power converter.
The analog input signal that is within the converter’s input
voltage range is digitized to eight bits at speeds of 200
MSPS to 1.3 GSPS, typical. Differential input voltages below
negative full-scale will cause the output word to consist of all
zeroes. Differential input voltages above positive full-scale
will cause the output word to consist of all ones. Either of
these conditions at either the "I" or "Q" input will cause the
OR (Out of Range) output to be activated. This single OR
output indicates when the output code from one or both of
the channels is below negative full scale or above positive
full scale.
Each of the two converters has a 1:2 demultiplexer that
feeds two LVDS output buses. The data on these buses
provide an output word rate on each bus at half the ADC
sampling rate and must be interleaved by the user to provide
output words at the full conversion rate.
The output levels may be selected to be normal or reduced.
Using reduced levels saves power but could result in erroneous data capture of some or all of the bits, especially at
higher sample rates and in marginally designed systems.
CalDly (pin 127) is used to select one of two delay times after
the application of power to the start of calibration. This
calibration delay is 225 input clock cycles (about 33.6 ms at
1 GSPS) with CalDly low, or 231 input clock cycles (about
2.15 seconds at 1 GSPS) with CalDly high. These delay
values allow the power supply to come up and stabilize
before calibration takes place. If the PD pin is high upon
power-up, the calibration delay counter will be disabled until
the PD pin is brought low. Therefore, holding the PD pin high
during power up will further delay the start of the power-up
calibration cycle. The best setting of the CalDly pin depends
upon the power-on settling time of the power supply.
The CalRun output is high whenever the calibration procedure is running. This is true whether the calibration is done at
power-up or on-command.
1.1.2 Acquiring the Input
Data is acquired at the falling edge of CLK+ (pin 18) and the
digital equivalent of that data is available at the digital outputs 13 input clock cycles later for the DI and DQ output
buses and 14 input clock cycles later for the DId and DQd
output buses. There is an additional internal delay called tOD
before the data is available at the outputs. See the Timing
Diagram. The ADC08D1000 will convert as long as the input
clock signal is present. The fully differential comparator design and the innovative design of the sample-and-hold amplifier, together with self calibration, enables a very flat
SINAD/ENOB response beyond 1.0 GHz. The ADC08D1000
output data signaling is LVDS and the output format is offset
binary.
1.1.1 Self-Calibration
A self-calibration is performed upon power-up and can also
be invoked by the user upon command. Calibration trims the
100Ω analog input differential termination resistor and minimizes full-scale error, offset error, DNL and INL, resulting in
maximizing SNR, THD, SINAD (SNDR) and ENOB. Internal
bias currents are also set with the calibration process. All of
this is true whether the calibration is performed upon power
up or is performed upon command. Running the self calibration is an important part of this chip’s functionality and is
required in order to obtain adequate performance. In addition to the requirement to be run at power-up, self calibration
must be re-run whenever the sense of the FSR pin is
changed. For best performance, we recommend that self
calibration be run 20 seconds or more after application of
power and whenever the operating temperature changes
significantly, according to the system design performance
specifications. See Section 2.4.2.2 for more information.
1.1.3 Control Modes
Much of the user control can be accomplished with several
control pins that are provided. Examples include initiation of

setting. However, the ADC08D1000 also provides an Extended Control mode whereby a serial interface is used to
access register-based control of several advanced features.
The Extended Control mode is not intended to be enabled
and disabled dynamically. Rather, the user is expected to
employ either the normal control mode or the Extended
Control mode at all times. When the device is in the Extended Control mode, pin-based control of several features
is replaced with register-based control and those pin-based

1.0 Functional Description
ADC08D1000
1.0 Functional Description
This feature is enabled by default and provides improved
ADC clocking especially in the Dual-Edge Sampling mode
(DES). This circuitry allows the ADC to be clocked with a
signal source having a duty cycle ratio of 80 / 20 % (worst
case) for both the normal and the Dual Edge Sampling
modes.

controls are disabled. These pins are OutV (pin 3), OutEdge/
DDR (pin 4), FSR (pin 14) and CalDly/DES (pin 127). See
Section 1.2 for details on the Extended Control mode.
1.1.4 The Analog Inputs
1.1.5.1 Dual-Edge Sampling
The DES mode allows one of the ADC08D1000’s inputs (I or
Q Channel) to be sampled by both ADCs. One ADC samples
the input on the positive edge of the input clock and the other
ADC samples the same input on the other edge of the input
clock. A single input is thus sampled twice per input clock
cycle, resulting in an overall sample rate of twice the input
clock frequency, or 2 GSPS with a 1 GHz input clock.
In this mode the outputs are interleaved such that the data is
effectively demultiplexed 1:4. Since the sample rate is
doubled, each of the 4 output buses have a 500 MSPS
output rate with a 1 GHz input clock. All data is available in
parallel. The four bytes of parallel data that are output with
each clock is in the following sampling order, from the earliest to the latest: DQd, DId, DQ, DI. Table 1 indicates what
the outputs represent for the various sampling possibilities.
In the non-extended mode of operation only the "I" input can
be sampled in the DES mode. In the extended mode of
operation the user can select which input is sampled.
The ADC08D1000 also includes an automatic clock phase
background calibration feature which can be used in DES
mode to automatically and continuously adjust the clock
phase of the I and Q channel. This feature removes the need
to adjust the clock phase setting manually and provides
optimal Dual-Edge Sampling ENOB performance.
The ADC08D1000 must be driven with a differential input
signal. Operation with a single-ended signal is not recommended. It is important that the input signals are either a.c.
coupled to the inputs with the VCMO pin grounded, or d.c.
coupled with the VCMO pin left floating. An input common
mode voltage equal to the VCMO output must be provided
when d.c. coupling is used.
Two full-scale range settings are provided with pin 14 (FSR).
A high on pin 14 causes an input full-scale range setting of
870 mVP-P, while grounding pin 14 causes an input full-scale
range setting of 650 mVP-P. The full-scale range setting
operates equally on both ADCs.
In the Extended Control mode, the full-scale input range can
be set to values between 560 mVP-P and 840 mVP-P through
a serial interface. See Section 2.2
1.1.5 Clocking
The ADC08D1000 must be driven with an a.c. coupled,
differential clock signal. Section 2.3 describes the use of the
clock input pins. A differential LVDS output clock is available
for use in latching the ADC output data into whatever device
is used to receive the data.
The ADC08D1000 offers options for input and output clocking. These options include a choice of Dual Edge Sampling
(DES) or "interleaved mode" where the ADC08D1000 performs as a single device converting at twice the input clock
rate, a choice of which DCLK (DCLK) edge the output data
transitions on, and a choice of Single Data Rate (SDR) or
Double Data Rate (DDR) outputs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The background calibration feature in
DES mode does not replace the requirement for OnCommand Calibration which should be run before entering
DES mode, or if a large swing in ambient temperature is
experienced by the device.
The ADC08D1000 also has the option to use a duty cycle
corrected clock receiver as part of the input clock circuit.

* Note that, in the DES mode, the "Q" channel input can only be selected for sampling in the Extended Control Mode.
1.1.5.2 OutEdge Setting
To help ease data capture in the SDR mode, the output data
may be caused to transition on either the positive or the
negative edge of the output data clock (DCLK). This is
chosen with the OutEdge input (pin 4). A high on the OutEdge input pin causes the output data to transition on the
rising edge of DCLK, while grounding this input causes the
output to transition on the falling edge of DCLK. See Section
2.4.3.
www.national.com
1.1.5.3 Double Data Rate
A choice of single data rate (SDR) or double data rate (DDR)
output is offered. With single data rate the output clock
(DCLK) frequency is the same as the data rate of the two
output buses. With double data rate the DCLK frequency is
half the data rate and data is sent to the outputs on both
edges of DCLK. DDR clocking is enabled in non-Extended
Control mode by allowing pin 4 to float.

down the "I" channel independently of the "Q" channel. Upon
return to normal operation, the pipeline will contain meaningless information.
If the PD input is brought high while a calibration is running,
the device will not go into power down until the calibration
sequence is complete. However, if power is applied and PD
is already high, the device will not begin the calibration
sequence until the PD input goes low. If a manual calibration
is requested while the device is powered down, the calibration will not begin at all. That is, the manual calibration input
is completely ignored in the power down state. Calibration
will function with the "Q" channel powered down, but that
channel will not be calibrated if PDQ is high. If the "Q"
channel is subsequently to be used, it is necessary to perform a calibration after PDQ is brought low.
(Continued)
1.1.6 The LVDS Outputs
The data outputs, the Out Of Range (OR) and DCLK, are
LVDS. Output current sources provide 3 mA of output current
to a differential 100 Ohm load when the OutV input (pin 14)
is high or 2.2 mA when the OutV input is low. For short LVDS
lines and low noise systems, satisfactory performance may
be realized with the OutV input low, which results in lower
power consumption. If the LVDS lines are long and/or the
system in which the ADC08D1000 is used is noisy, it may be
necessary to tie the OutV pin high.
The LVDS data output have a typical common mode voltage
of 800mV when the VBG pin is unconnected and floating.
This common mode voltage can be increased to 1.2V by
tying the VBG pin to VA if a higher common mode is required.
1.2 NORMAL/EXTENDED CONTROL
1.1.7 Power Down
The ADC08D1000 may be operated in one of two modes. In
the simpler standard control mode, the user affects available
configuration and control of the device through several control pins. The "extended control mode" provides additional
configuration and control options through a serial interface
and a set of 8 registers. The two control modes are selected
with pin 14 (FSR/ECE: Extended Control Enable). The
choice of control modes is required to be a fixed selection
and is not intended to be switched dynamically while the
device is operational.
Table 2 shows how several of the device features are affected by the control mode chosen.
The ADC08D1000 is in the active state when the Power
Down pin (PD) is low. When the PD pin is high, the device is
in the power down mode. In this power down mode the data
output pins (positive and negative) are put into a high impedance state and the devices power consumption is reduced to
a minimal level. The DCLK+/- and OR +/- are not tri-stated,
they are weakly pulled down to ground internally. Therefore
when both I and Q are powered down the DCLK +/- and OR
+/- should not be terminated to a DC voltage.
A high on the PDQ pin will power down the "Q" channel and
leave the "I" channel active. There is no provision to power

1.3 THE SERIAL INTERFACE
The 3-pin serial interface is enabled only when the device is
in the Extended Control mode. The pins of this interface are
Serial Clock (SCLK), Serial Data (SDATA) and Serial Interface Chip Select (SCS) Eight write only registers are accessible through this serial interface.
SCS: This signal should be asserted low while accessing a
register through the serial interface. Setup and hold times
with respect to the SCLK must be observed.
SCLK: Serial data input is accepted with the rising edge of
this signal.
SDATA: Each register access requires a specific 32-bit pattern at this input. This pattern consists of a header, register
address and register value. The data is shifted in MSB first.
Setup and hold times with respect to the SCLK must be
observed. See the Timing Diagram.
Each Register access consists of 32 bits, as shown in Figure
5 of the Timing Diagrams. The fixed header pattern is 0000
0000 0001 (eleven zeros followed by a 1). The loading
sequence is such that a "0" is loaded first. These 12 bits form
the header. The next 4 bits are the address of the register
that is to be written to and the last 16 bits are the data written
to the addressed register. The addresses of the various
registers are indicated in Table 4.
Refer to the Register Description (Section 1.4) for information on the data to be written to the registers.
Subsequent register accesses may be performed immediately, starting with the 33rd SCLK. This means that the SCS
input does not have to be de-asserted and asserted again
between register addresses. It is possible, although not recommended, to keep the SCS input permanently enabled (at
a logic low) when using extended control.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Serial Interface should not be
used when calibrating the ADC. Doing so will impair the
performance of the device until it is re-calibrated correctly.
Programming the serial registers will also reduce dynamic
performance of the ADC for the duration of the register
access time.

and hold times with respect to the CLK input rising edge.
These times are specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics Table.
The DCLK_RST signal can be asserted asynchronous to the
input clock. If DCLK_RST is asserted, the DCLK output is
held in a designated state. The state in which DCLK is held
during the reset period is determined by the mode of operation (SDR/DDR) and the setting of the Output Edge configuration pin or bit. (Refer to Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8 for
the DCLK reset state conditions). Therefore, depending
upon when the DCLK_RST signal is asserted, there may be
a narrow pulse on the DCLK line during this reset event.
When the DCLK_RST signal is de-asserted in synchronization with the CLK rising edge, the next CLK falling edge
synchronizes the DCLK output with those of other
ADC08D1000s in the system. The DCLK output is enabled
again after a constant delay (relative to the input clock
frequency) which is equal to the CLK input to DCLK output
delay (tSD). The device always exhibits this delay characteristic in normal operation.

The voltage reference for the ADC08D1000 is derived from a
1.254V bandgap reference, a buffered version of which is
made available at pin 31, VBG for user convenience and has
an output current capability of ± 100 µA. This reference
voltage should be buffered if more current is required.
The internal bandgap-derived reference voltage has a nominal value of 650 mV or 870 mV, as determined by the FSR
pin and described in Section 1.1.4.
There is no provision for the use of an external reference
voltage, but the full-scale input voltage can be adjusted
through a Configuration Register in the Extended Control
mode, as explained in Section 1.2.
Differential input signals up to the chosen full-scale level will
be digitized to 8 bits. Signal excursions beyond the full-scale
range will be clipped at the output. These large signal excursions will also activate the OR output for the time that the
signal is out of range. See Section 2.2.2.
One extra feature of the VBG pin is that it can be used to
raise the common mode voltage level of the LVDS outputs.
The output offset voltage (VOS) is typically 800mV when the
VBG pin is used as an output or left unconnected. To raise
the LVDS offset voltage to a typical value of 1200mV the VBG
pin can be connected directly to the supply rails.
When using the I or Q channel Offset Adjust registers, the
following information should be noted.
For offset values of +0000 0000 and -0000 0000, the actual
offset is not the same. By changing only the sign bit in this
case, an offset step in the digital output code of about 1/10th
of an LSB is experienced. This is shown more clearly in the
Figure below.
20097430
FIGURE 10. Extended Mode Offset Behaviour
1.5 MULTIPLE ADC SYNCHRONIZATION
The ADC08D1000 has the capability to precisely reset its
sampling clock input to DCLK output relationship as determined by the user-supplied DCLK_RST pulse. This allows
multiple ADCs in a system to have their DCLK (and data)
outputs transition at the same time with respect to the shared
CLK input that they all use for sampling.
The DCLK_RST signal must observe some timing requirements that are shown in Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8 of
the Timing Diagrams. The DCLK_RST pulse must be of a
minimum width and its deassertion edge must observe setup
2.2 THE ANALOG INPUT
The analog input is a differential one to which the signal
source may be a.c. coupled or d.c. coupled. The full-scale
input range is selected with the FSR pin to be 650 mVP-P or
870 mVP-P, or can be adjusted to values between 560 mVP-P
and 840 mVP-P in the Extended Control mode through the
Serial Interface. For best performance, it is recommended
that the full-scale range be kept between 595 mVP-P and 805
mVP-P in the Extended Control mode.
Table 5 gives the input to output relationship with the FSR
pin high and the normal (non-extended) mode is used. With
the FSR pin grounded, the millivolt values in Table 5 are

reduced to 75% of the values indicated. In the Enhanced
Control Mode, these values will be determined by the full
scale range and offset settings in the Control Registers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: An analog input channel that is not
used (e.g. in DES Mode) should be tied to the VCMO voltage
when the inputs are d.c coupled. Do not connect unused
analog inputs to ground.
TABLE 5. DIFFERENTIAL INPUT TO OUTPUT
RELATIONSHIP (Non-Extended Control Mode, FSR

Full-scale distortion performance falls off rapidly as the
input common mode voltage deviates from VCMO. This is
a direct result of using a very low supply voltage to
minimize power. Keep the input common voltage within
50 mV of VCMO.

Performance is as good in the d.c. coupled mode as it is
in the a.c. coupled mode, provided the input common
mode voltage at both analog inputs remain within 50 mV
of VCMO.
If d.c. coupling is used, it is best to servo the input common
mode voltage, using the VCMO pin, to maintain optimum
performance. An example of this type of circuit is shown in
Figure 12.
The buffered analog inputs simplify the task of driving these
inputs and the RC pole that is generally used at sampling
ADC inputs is not required. If it is desired to use an amplifier
circuit before the ADC, use care in choosing an amplifier with
adequate noise and distortion performance and adequate
gain at the frequencies used for the application.
Note that a precise d.c. common mode voltage must be
present at the ADC inputs. This common mode voltage,
VCMO, is provided on-chip when a.c. input coupling is used
and the input signal is a.c. coupled to the ADC.
When the inputs are a.c. coupled, the VCMO output must be
grounded, as shown in Figure 11. This causes the on-chip
VCMO voltage to be connected to the inputs through on-chip
50k-Ohm resistors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: An Analog input channel that is not
used (e.g. in DES Mode) should be left floating when the
inputs are a.c. coupled. Do not connect an unused analog
input to ground.
20097455
FIGURE 12. Example of Servoing the Analog Input with
VCMO
One such circuit should be used in front of the VIN+ input and
another in front of the VIN− input. In that figure, RD1, RD2 and
RD3 are used to divide the VCMO potential so that, after being
gained up by the amplifier, the input common mode voltage
is equal to VCMO from the ADC. RD1 and RD2 are split to
allow the bypass capacitor to isolate the input signal from
VCMO. RIN, RD2 and RD3 will divide the input signal, if necessary. Capacitor "C" in Figure 12 should be chosen to keep
any component of the input signal from affecting VCMO.
Be sure that the current drawn from the VCMO output does
not exceed 100 µA.
The Input impedance in the d.c. coupled mode (VCMO pin not
grounded) consists of a precision 100Ω resistor between
VIN+ and VIN− and a capacitance from each of these inputs
to ground. In the a.c. coupled mode the input appears the
same except there is also a resistor of 50K between each
analog input pin and the VCMO potential.
Driving the inputs beyond full scale will result in a saturation
or clipping of the reconstructed output.
20097444
FIGURE 11. Differential Input Drive
When the d.c. coupled mode is used, a common mode
voltage must be provided at the differential inputs. This
common mode voltage should track the VCMO output pin.

Operation up to the sample rates indicated in the Electrical
Characteristics Table is typically possible if the maximum
ambient temperatures indicated are not exceeded. Operating at higher sample rates than indicated for the given ambient temperature may result in reduced device reliability
and product lifetime. This is because of the higher power
consumption and die temperatures at high sample rates.
Important also for reliability is proper thermal management .
See Section 2.6.2.

2.2.1 Handling Single-Ended Input Signals
There is no provision for the ADC08D1000 to adequately
process single-ended input signals. The best way to handle
single-ended signals is to convert them to differential signals
before presenting them to the ADC. The easiest way to
accomplish single-ended to differential signal conversion is
with an appropriate balun-connected transformer, as shown
in Figure 13.
20097443
20097447
FIGURE 13. Single-Ended to Differential signal
conversion with a balun-connected transformer
FIGURE 14. Differential (LVDS) Input Clock Connection
The differential input clock line pair should have a characteristic impedance of 100Ω and (when using a balun), be
terminated at the clock source in that (100Ω) characteristic
impedance. The input clock line should be as short and as
direct as possible. The ADC08D1000 clock input is internally
terminated with an untrimmed 100Ω resistor.
The 100 Ohm external resistor placed accross the output
terminals of the balun in parallel with the ADC08D1000’s
on-chip 100 Ohm resistor makes a 50 Ohms differential
impedance at the balun output. Or, 25 Ohms to virtual
ground at each of the balun output terminals.
Looking into the balun, the source sees the impedance of the
first coil in series with the impedance at the output of that
coil. Since the transformer has a 1:1 turns ratio, the impedance across the first coil is exactly the same as that at the
output of the second coil, namely 25 Ohms to virtual ground.
So, the 25 Ohms across the first coil in series with the 25
Ohms at its output gives 50 Ohms total impedance to match
the source.
Insufficient input clock levels will result in poor dynamic
performance. Excessively high input clock levels could
cause a change in the analog input offset voltage. To avoid
these problems, keep the input clock level within the range
specified in the Electrical Characteristics Table.
The low and high times of the input clock signal can affect
the performance of any A/D Converter. The ADC08D1000
features a duty cycle clock correction circuit which can maintain performance over temperature even in DES mode. The
ADC will meet its performance specification if the input clock
high and low times are maintained within the range (20/80%
ratio) as specified in the Electrical Characteristics Table.
High speed, high performance ADCs such as the
ADC08D1000 require a very stable input clock signal with
minimum phase noise or jitter. ADC jitter requirements are
defined by the ADC resolution (number of bits), maximum
ADC input frequency and the input signal amplitude relative
to the ADC input full scale range. The maximum jitter (the
sum of the jitter from all sources) allowed to prevent a
jitter-induced reduction in SNR is found to be
tJ(MAX) = (VIN(P-P)/VINFSR) x (1/(2(N+1) x π x fIN))
where tJ(MAX) is the rms total of all jitter sources in seconds,
VIN(P-P) is the peak-to-peak analog input signal, VINFSR is the
full-scale range of the ADC, "N" is the ADC resolution in bits
and fIN is the maximum input frequency, in Hertz, to the ADC
analog input.
Note that the maximum jitter described above is the arithmetic sum of the jitter from all sources, including that in the
ADC input clock, that added by the system to the ADC input
clock and input signals and that added by the ADC itself.
Since the effective jitter added by the ADC is beyond user
control, the best the user can do is to keep the sum of the
externally added input clock jitter and the jitter added by the
analog circuitry to the analog signal to a minimum.
2.2.2 Out Of Range (OR) Indication
When the conversion result is clipped the Out of Range
output is activated such that OR+ goes high and OR- goes
low. This output is active as long as accurate data on either
or both of the buses would be outside the range of 00h to
FFh.
2.2.3 Full-Scale Input Range
As with all A/D Converters, the input range is determined by
the value of the ADC’s reference voltage. The reference
voltage of the ADC08D1000 is derived from an internal
band-gap reference. The FSR pin controls the effective reference voltage of the ADC08D1000 such that the differential
full-scale input range at the analog inputs is 870 mVP-P with
the FSR pin high, or is 650 mVP-P with FSR pin low. Best
SNR is obtained with FSR high, but better distortion and
SFDR are obtained with the FSR pin low.
2.3 THE CLOCK INPUTS
The ADC08D1000 has differential LVDS clock inputs, CLK+
and CLK-, which must be driven with an a.c. coupled, differential clock signal. Although the ADC08D1000 is tested and
its performance is guaranteed with a differential 1.0 GHz
clock, it typically will function well with input clock frequencies indicated in the Electrical Characteristics Table. The
clock inputs are internally terminated and biased. The input
clock signal must be capacitively coupled to the clock pins as
indicated in Figure 14.

2.0 Applications Information
ADC08D1000
2.0 Applications Information
To initiate an on-command calibration, bring the CAL pin high
for a minimum of 80 input clock cycles after it has been low
for a minimum of 80 input clock cycles. Holding the CAL pin
high upon power up will prevent execution of power-on
calibration until the CAL pin is low for a minimum of 80 input
clock cycles, then brought high for a minimum of another 80
input clock cycles. The calibration cycle will begin 80 input
clock cycles after the CAL pin is thus brought high. The
CalRun signal should be monitored to determine when the
calibration cycle has completed.
(Continued)
Input clock amplitudes above those specified in the Electrical
Characteristics Table may result in increased input offset
voltage. This would cause the converter to produce an output code other than the expected 127/128 when both input
pins are at the same potential.
2.4 CONTROL PINS
The minimum 80 input clock cycle sequences are required to
ensure that random noise does not cause a calibration to
begin when it is not desired. As mentioned in section 1.1.1
for best performance, a self calibration should be performed
20 seconds or more after power up and repeated when the
operating temperature changes significantly, according to
the particular system performance requirements. As can be
seen in the following figures ENOB drops slightly with increasing junction temperature, and a self calibration eliminates the change. In the first example (see Figure 15), a
sample clock of 1GSPS is used to capture a full-scale
749MHz signal at the I-channel input as the junction temperature (TJ) is increased from 65˚C to 125˚C with no intermediate calibration cycles. The vertical line at 125˚C is the
result of an on-command calibration cycle that essentially
eliminates the drop in ENOB. Of course, calibration cycles
can be run more often, at smaller intervals of temperature
change, if system design specifications require it. In the
second example (see Figure 16), the test method is the
same and the I-channel input signal is 249MHz. The variation in ENOB vs. TJ has a smaller range then the previous
example, and is again removed by an on-command calibration cycle at the maximum test temperature.
Six control pins (without the use of the serial interface)
provide a wide range of possibilities in the operation of the
ADC08D1000 and facilitate its use. These control pins provide Full-Scale Input Range setting, Self Calibration, Calibration Delay, Output Edge Synchronization choice, LVDS Output Level choice and a Power Down feature.
2.4.1 Full-Scale Input Range Setting
The input full-scale range can be selected to be either 650
mVP-P or 870 mVP-P, as selected with the FSR control input
(pin 14) in the Normal Mode of operation. In the Extended
Control Mode, the input full-scale range may be set to be
anywhere from 560 mVP-P to 840 mVP-P. See Section 2.2 for
more information.
2.4.2 Self Calibration
The ADC08D1000 self-calibration must be run to achieve
specified performance. The calibration procedure is run
upon power-up and can be run any time on command. The
calibration procedure is exactly the same whether there is an
input clock present upon power up or if the clock begins
some time after application of power. The CalRun output
indicator is high while a calibration is in progress. Note that
DCLK outputs are not active during a calibration cycle.
2.4.2.1 Power-On Calibration
Power-on calibration begins after a time delay following the
application of power. This time delay is determined by the
setting of CalDly, as described in the Calibration Delay Section, below.
The calibration process will be not be performed if the CAL
pin is high at power up. In this case, the calibration cycle will
not begin until the on-command calibration conditions are
met. The ADC08D1000 will function with the CAL pin held
high at power up, but no calibration will be done and performance will be impaired. A manual calibration, however, may
be performed after powering up with the CAL pin high. See
On-Command Calibration Section 2.4.2.2.
The internal power-on calibration circuitry comes up in an
unknown logic state. If the input clock is not running at power
up and the power on calibration circuitry is active, it will hold
the analog circuitry in power down and the power consumption will typically be less than 200 mW. The power consumption will be normal after the clock starts.
20097457
FIGURE 15. ENOB vs. Junction Temperature, 749MHz
input
2.4.2.2 On-Command Calibration
On-command calibration may be run at any time in NORMAL (non-DES) mode only. Do not run a calibration while
operating the ADC in Auto DES Mode.
If the ADC is operating in Auto DES mode and a calibration
cycle is required then the controlling application should bring
the ADC into normal (non DES) mode before an On Command calibration is initiated. Once calibration has completed,
the ADC can be put back into Auto DES mode.

2.4.4 LVDS Output Level Control
The output level can be set to one of two levels with OutV
(pin3). The strength of the output drivers is greater with OutV
high. With OutV low there is less power consumption in the
output drivers, but the lower output level means decreased
noise immunity.
For short LVDS lines and low noise systems, satisfactory
performance may be realized with the OutV input low. If the
LVDS lines are long and/or the system in which the
ADC08D1000 is used is noisy, it may be necessary to tie the
OutV pin high.
(Continued)
2.4.5 Dual Edge Sampling
The Dual Edge Sampling (DES) feature causes one of the
two input pairs to be routed to both ADCs. The other input
pair is deactivated. One of the ADCs samples the input
signal on one input clock edge (duty cycle corrected), the
other samples the input signal on the other input clock edge
(duty cycle corrected). The result is a 1:4 demultiplexed
output with a sample rate that is twice the input clock frequency.
To use this feature in the non-enhanced control mode, allow
pin 127 to float and the signal at the "I" channel input will be
sampled by both converters. The Calibration Delay will then
only be a short delay.
20097458
FIGURE 16. ENOB vs. Junction Temperature, 249MHz
input
In the enhanced control mode, either input may be used for
dual edge sampling. See Section 1.1.5.1.
IMPORTANT NOTES :
1) For the Extended Control Mode - When using the Automatic Clock Phase Control feature in dual edge sampling
mode, it is important that the automatic phase control is
disabled (set bit 14 of DES Enable register Dh to 0) before
the ADC is powered up. Not doing so may cause the device
not to wakeup from the powerdown state.
2) For the Non-Extended Control Mode - When the
ADC08D1000 is powered up and DES mode is required,
ensure that pin 127 (CalDly/DES/SCS) is initially pulled low
during or after the power up sequence. The pin can then be
allowed to float or be tied to VA / 2 to enter the DES mode.
This will ensure that the part enters the DES mode correctly.
2.4.2.3 Calibration Delay
The CalDly input (pin 127) is used to select one of two delay
times after the application of power to the start of calibration,
as described in Section 1.1.1. The calibration delay values
allow the power supply to come up and stabilize before
calibration takes place. With no delay or insufficient delay,
calibration would begin before the power supply is stabilized
at its operating value and result in non-optimal calibration
coefficients. If the PD pin is high upon power-up, the calibration delay counter will be disabled until the PD pin is brought
low. Therefore, holding the PD pin high during power up will
further delay the start of the power-up calibration cycle. The
best setting of the CalDly pin depends upon the power-on
settling time of the power supply.
Note that the calibration delay selection is not possible in the
Extended Control mode and the short delay time is used.
3) The automatic phase control should also be disabled if the
input clock is interrupted or stopped for any reason. This is
also the case if a large abrupt change in the clock frequency
occurs.
4) If a calibration of the ADC is required in Auto DES mode,
the device must be returned to the Normal Mode of operation
before performing a calibration cycle. Once the Calibration
has been completed, the device can be returned to the Auto
DES mode and operation can resume.
2.4.3 Output Edge Synchronization
DCLK signals are available to help latch the converter output
data into external circuitry. The output data can be synchronized with either edge of these DCLK signals. That is, the
output data transition can be set to occur with either the
rising edge or the falling edge of the DCLK signal, so that
either edge of that DCLK signal can be used to latch the
output data into the receiving circuit.
When OutEdge (pin 4) is high, the output data is synchronized with (changes with) the rising edge of the DCLK+ (pin
82). When OutEdge is low, the output data is synchronized
with the falling edge of DCLK+.
At the very high speeds of which the ADC08D1000 is capable, slight differences in the lengths of the DCLK and data
lines can mean the difference between successful and erroneous data capture. The OutEdge pin is used to capture
data on the DCLK edge that best suits the application circuit
and layout.
2.4.6 Power Down Feature
The Power Down pins (PD and PDQ) allow the
ADC08D1000 to be entirely powered down (PD) or the "Q"
channel to be powered down and the "I" channel to remain
active. See Section 1.1.7 for details on the power down
feature.
The digital data (+/-) output pins are put into a high impedance state when the PD pin for the respective channel is
high. Upon return to normal operation, the pipeline will contain meaningless information and must be flushed.
If the PD input is brought high while a calibration is running,
the device will not go into power down until the calibration
sequence is complete. However, if power is applied and PD
is already high, the device will not begin the calibration

2.6.1 Supply Voltage
The ADC08D1000 is specified to operate with a supply
voltage of 1.9V ± 0.1V. It is very important to note that, while
this device will function with slightly higher supply voltages,
these higher supply voltages may reduce product lifetime.
(Continued)
sequence until the PD input goes low. If a manual calibration
is requested while the device is powered down, the calibration will not begin at all. That is, the manual calibration input
is completely ignored in the power down state.
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of
the supply voltage or below ground by more than 150 mV,
not even on a transient basis. This can be a problem upon
application of power and power shut-down. Be sure that the
supplies to circuits driving any of the input pins, analog or
digital, do not come up any faster than does the voltage at
the ADC08D1000 power pins.
2.5 THE DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The ADC08D1000 demultiplexes the output data of each of
the two ADCs on the die onto two LVDS output buses (total
of four buses, two for each ADC). For each of the two
converters, the results of successive conversions started on
the odd falling edges of the CLK+ pin are available on one of
the two LVDS buses, while the results of conversions started
on the even falling edges of the CLK+ pin are available on
the other LVDS bus. This means that, the word rate at each
LVDS bus is 1/2 the ADC08D1000 input clock rate and the
two buses must be multiplexed to obtain the entire 1 GSPS
conversion result.
The Absolute Maximum Ratings should be strictly observed,
even during power up and power down. A power supply that
produces a voltage spike at turn-on and/or turn-off of power
can destroy the ADC08D1000. The circuit of Figure 17 will
provide supply overshoot protection.
Many linear regulators will produce output spiking at
power-on unless there is a minimum load provided. Active
devices draw very little current until their supply voltages
reach a few hundred millivolts. The result can be a turn-on
spike that can destroy the ADC08D1000, unless a minimum
load is provided for the supply. The 100Ω resistor at the
regulator output provides a minimum output current during
power-up to ensure there is no turn-on spiking.
In the circuit of Figure 17, an LM317 linear regulator is
satisfactory if its input supply voltage is 4V to 5V . If a 3.3V
supply is used, an LM1086 linear regulator is recommended.
Since the minimum recommended input clock rate for this
device is 200 MSPS (normal non DES mode), the effective
rate can be reduced to as low as 100 MSPS by using the
results available on just one of the the two LVDS buses and
a 200 MHz input clock, decimating the 200 MSPS data by
two.
There is one LVDS output clock pair (DCLK+/-) available for
use to latch the LVDS outputs on all buses. Whether the data
is sent at the rising or falling edge of DCLK is determined by
the sense of the OutEdge pin, as described in Section 2.4.3.
DDR (Double Data Rate) clocking can also be used. In this
mode a word of data is presented with each edge of DCLK,
reducing the DCLK frequency to 1/4 the input clock frequency. See the Timing Diagram section for details.
The OutV pin is used to set the LVDS differential output
levels. See Section 2.4.4.
The output format is Offset Binary. Accordingly, a full-scale
input level with VIN+ positive with respect to VIN− will produce an output code of all ones, a full-scale input level with
VIN− positive with respect to VIN+ will produce an output
code of all zeros and when VIN+ and VIN− are equal, the
output code will vary between codes 127 and 128.
20097454
FIGURE 17. Non-Spiking Power Supply
The output drivers should have a supply voltage, VDR, that is
within the range specified in the Operating Ratings table.
This voltage should not exceed the VA supply voltage.
If the power is applied to the device without an input clock
signal present, the current drawn by the device might be
below 200 mA. This is because the ADC08D1000 gets reset
through clocked logic and its initial state is unknown. If the
reset logic comes up in the "on" state, it will cause most of
the analog circuitry to be powered down, resulting in less
than 100 mA of current draw. This current is greater than the
power down current because not all of the ADC is powered
down. The device current will be normal after the input clock
is established.
2.6 POWER CONSIDERATIONS
A/D converters draw sufficient transient current to corrupt
their own power supplies if not adequately bypassed. A 33
µF capacitor should be placed within an inch (2.5 cm) of the
A/D converter power pins. A 0.1 µF capacitor should be
placed as close as possible to each VA pin, preferably within
one-half centimeter. Leadless chip capacitors are preferred
because they have low lead inductance.
The VA and VDR supply pins should be isolated from each
other to prevent any digital noise from being coupled into the
analog portions of the ADC. A ferrite choke, such as the JW
Miller FB20009-3B, is recommended between these supply
lines when a common source is used for them.
As is the case with all high speed converters, the
ADC08D1000 should be assumed to have little power supply
noise rejection. Any power supply used for digital circuitry in
a system where a lot of digital power is being consumed
should not be used to supply power to the ADC08D1000.
The ADC supplies should be the same supply used for other
analog circuitry, if not a dedicated supply.
www.national.com
2.6.2 Thermal Management
The ADC08D1000 is capable of impressive speeds and
performance at very low power levels for its speed. However,
the power consumption is still high enough to require attention to thermal management. For reliability reasons, the die
temperature should be kept to a maximum of 130˚C. That is,
TA (ambient temperature) plus ADC power consumption
times θJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance) should not
34
The thermal vias should be placed on a 1.2 mm grid spacing
and have a diameter of 0.30 to 0.33 mm. These vias should
be barrel plated to avoid solder wicking into the vias during
the soldering process as this wicking could cause voids in
the solder between the package exposed pad and the thermal land on the PCB. Such voids could increase the thermal
resistance between the device and the thermal land on the
board, which would cause the device to run hotter.
(Continued)
exceed 130˚C. This is not a problem if the ambient temperature is kept to a maximum of +85˚C as specified in the
Operating Ratings section.
Please note that the following are general recommendations
for mounting exposed pad devices onto a PCB. This should
be considered the starting point in PCB and assembly process development. It is recommended that the process be
developed based upon past experience in package mounting.
If it is desired to monitor die temperature, a temperature
sensor may be mounted on the heat sink area of the board
near the thermal vias. .Allow for a thermal gradient between
the temperature sensor and the ADC08D1000 die of θJ-PAD
times typical power consumption = 2.8 x 1.6 = 4.5˚C. Allowing for a 5.5˚C (including an extra 1˚C) temperature drop
from the die to the temperature sensor, then, would mean
that maintaining a maximum pad temperature reading of
124.5˚C will ensure that the die temperature does not exceed 130˚C, assuming that the exposed pad of the
ADC08D1000 is properly soldered down and the thermal
vias are adequate. (The inaccuracy of the temperature sensor is addtional to the above calculation).
The package of the ADC08D1000 has an exposed pad on its
back that provides the primary heat removal path as well as
excellent electrical grounding to the printed circuit board.
The land pattern design for lead attachment to the PCB
should be the same as for a conventional LQFP, but the
exposed pad must be attached to the board to remove the
maximum amount of heat from the package, as well as to
ensure best product parametric performance.
To maximize the removal of heat from the package, a thermal land pattern must be incorporated on the PC board
within the footprint of the package. The exposed pad of the
device must be soldered down to ensure adequate heat
conduction out of the package. The land pattern for this
exposed pad should be at least as large as the 5 x 5 mm of
the exposed pad of the package and be located such that the
exposed pad of the device is entirely over that thermal land
pattern. This thermal land pattern should be electrically connected to ground. A clearance of at least 0.5 mm should
separate this land pattern from the mounting pads for the
package pins.
2.7 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essential to ensure accurate conversion. A single ground plane
should be used, instead of splitting the ground plane into
analog and digital areas.
Since digital switching transients are composed largely of
high frequency components, the skin effect tells us that total
ground plane copper weight will have little effect upon the
logic-generated noise. Total surface area is more important
than is total ground plane volume. Coupling between the
typically noisy digital circuitry and the sensitive analog circuitry can lead to poor performance that may seem impossible to isolate and remedy. The solution is to keep the
analog circuitry well separated from the digital circuitry.
High power digital components should not be located on or
near any linear component or power supply trace or plane
that services analog or mixed signal components as the
resulting common return current path could cause fluctuation
in the analog input “ground” return of the ADC, causing
excessive noise in the conversion result.
Generally, we assume that analog and digital lines should
cross each other at 90˚ to avoid getting digital noise into the
analog path. In high frequency systems, however, avoid
crossing analog and digital lines altogether. The input clock
lines should be isolated from ALL other lines, analog AND
digital. The generally accepted 90˚ crossing should be
avoided as even a little coupling can cause problems at high
frequencies. Best performance at high frequencies is obtained with a straight signal path.
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces
to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. This is
especially important with the low level drive required of the
ADC08D1000. Any external component (e.g., a filter capacitor) connected between the converter’s input and ground
should be connected to a very clean point in the analog
ground plane. All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters,
etc.) should be separated from any digital components.

FIGURE 18. Recommended Package Land Pattern
Since a large aperture opening may result in poor release,
the aperture opening should be subdivided into an array of
smaller openings, similar to the land pattern of Figure 18.
To minimize junction temperature, it is recommended that a
simple heat sink be built into the PCB. This is done by
including a copper area of about 2 square inches (6.5 square
cm) on the opposite side of the PCB. This copper area may
be plated or solder coated to prevent corrosion, but should
not have a conformal coating, which could provide some
thermal insulation. Thermal vias should be used to connect
these top and bottom copper areas. These thermal vias act
as "heat pipes" to carry the thermal energy from the device
side of the board to the opposite side of the board where it
can be more effectively dissipated. The use of 9 to 16
thermal vias is recommended.
2.8 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The ADC08D1000 is a.c. tested and its dynamic performance is guaranteed. To meet the published specifications
and avoid jitter-induced noise, the clock source driving the

CLK input must exhibit low rms jitter. The allowable jitter is a
function of the input frequency and the input signal level, as
described in Section 2.3.
It is good practice to keep the ADC input clock line as short
as possible, to keep it well away from any other signals and
to treat it as a transmission line. Other signals can introduce
jitter into the input clock signal. The clock signal can also
introduce noise into the analog path if not isolated from that
path.
Non-extended control mode operation means that the Serial
Interface is not active and all controllable functions are controlled with various pin settings. That is, the full-scale range,
single-ended or differential input and input coupling (a.c. or
d.c.) are all controlled with pin settings. The non-extended
control mode is used by setting pin 14 high or low, as
opposed to letting it float. Table 6 indicates the pin functions
of the ADC08D1000 in the non-extended control mode.

Pin 3 can be either high or low in the non-extended control
mode. Pin 14 must not be left floating to select this mode.
See Section 1.2 for more information.
Pin 4 can be high or low or can be left floating in the
non-extended control mode. In the non-extended control
mode, pin 4 high or low defines the edge at which the output
data transitions. See Section 2.4.3 for more information. If
this pin is floating, the output clock (DCLK) is a DDR (Double
Data Rate) clock (see Section 1.1.5.3) and the output edge
synchronization is irrelevant since data is clocked out on
both DCLK edges.
Pin 127, if it is high or low in the non-extended control mode,
sets the calibration delay. If pin 127 is floating, the calibration
delay is the same as it would be with this pin low and the
converter performs dual edge sampling (DES).

Care should be taken not to overdrive the inputs of the
ADC08D1000. Such practice may lead to conversion inaccuracies and even to device damage.
Incorrect analog input common mode voltage in the d.c.
coupled mode. As discussed in sections 1.1.4 and 2.2, the
Input common mode voltage must remain within 50 mV of
the VCMO output , which has a variability with temperature
that must also be tracked. Distortion performance will be
degraded if the input common mode voltage is more than 50
mV from VCMO .
Using an inadequate amplifier to drive the analog input.
Use care when choosing a high frequency amplifier to drive
the ADC08D1000 as many high speed amplifiers will have
higher distortion than will the ADC08D1000, resulting in
overall system performance degradation.
Driving the VBG pin to change the reference voltage. As
mentioned in Section 2.1, the reference voltage is intended
to be fixed to provide one of two different full-scale values
(650 mVP-P and 870 mVP-P). Over driving this pin will not
change the full scale value, but can be used to change the
LVDS common mode voltage from 0.8V to 1.2V by tying the
VBG pin to VA.
Driving the clock input with an excessively high level
signal. The ADC input clock level should not exceed the
level described in the Operating Ratings Table or the input
offset could change.
Inadequate input clock levels. As described in Section 2.3,
insufficient input clock levels can result in poor performance.
Excessive input clock levels could result in the introduction
of an input offset.
Using a clock source with excessive jitter, using an
excessively long input clock signal trace, or having
other signals coupled to the input clock signal trace.
This will cause the sampling interval to vary, causing excessive output noise and a reduction in SNR performance.
Failure to provide adequate heat removal. As described in
Section 2.6.2, it is important to provide adequate heat removal to ensure device reliability. This can either be done
with adequate air flow or the use of a simple heat sink built
into the board. The backside pad should be grounded for
best performance.
2.9.1 Non-Extended Control Mode Operation
Low
SCLK (Serial Clock)
Driving the inputs (analog or digital) beyond the power
supply rails. For device reliability, no input should go more
than 150 mV below the ground pins or 150 mV above the
supply pins. Exceeding these limits on even a transient basis
may not only cause faulty or erratic operation, but may
impair device reliability. It is not uncommon for high speed
digital circuits to exhibit undershoot that goes more than a
volt below ground. Controlling the impedance of high speed
lines and terminating these lines in their characteristic impedance should control overshoot.
2.9 USING THE SERIAL INTERFACE
The ADC08D1000 may be operated in the non-extended
control (non-Serial Interface) mode or in the extended control mode. Table 6 and Table 7 describe the functions of pins
3, 4, 14 and 127 in the non-extended control mode and the
extended control mode, respectively.

Best dynamic performance is obtained when the exposed
pad at the back of the package has a good connection to
ground. This is because this path from the die to ground is a
lower impedance than offered by the package pins.
