All other -5.2 V requirements of the external digital logic circuit should be connected to the digital ground plane. Each power supply pin should be bypassed as closely as possible to the device with .01 µF and 2.2 µF capacitors as shown in figure 2. THEORY OF OPERATION The SPT7870 uses a two stage subranging architecture incorporating a 3-bit flash MSB conversion stage followed by an 8-bit interpolating folder conversion stage. Digital error correction logic combines the results of both stages to produce a 10-bit data conversion digital output. The two grounds available on the SPT7870 are AGND and DGND. DGND is used only for ECL outputs and is to be referenced to the output pulldown voltage. These grounds are not tied together internal to the device. The use of ground planes is recommended to achieve the best performance of the SPT7870. The AGND and the DGND ground planes should be separated from each other and only connected together at the device through an inductance or ferrite bead. Doing this will minimize the ground noise pickup. The analog signal is input directly to the 3-bit flash converter which performs a 3-bit conversion and in turn drives an internal DAC used to set the second stage voltage reference level. The 3-bit result from the flash conversion is input to the digital error correction logic and used in calculation of the upper most significant bits of the data output. ANALOG INPUT The analog input is also input directly to an internal track-andhold amplifier. The signal is held and amplified for use in the second stage conversion. The output of this track-and-hold is input into a summing junction that takes the difference between the track-and-hold amplifier and the 3-bit DAC output. The residual is captured by a second track-and-hold which holds and amplifies this residual voltage. The SPT7870 has a single-ended analog input with a bipolar input range from -1 V to +1 V. The bipolar input allows for easier interface by external op amps when compared to unipolar input devices. Because the input common mode is 0 V, the external op amp can operate without a voltage offset on the output, thereby maximizing op amp head room and minimizing distortion. The residual held by the track-and-hold amplifier is input to an 8-bit interpolating folder stage for data conversion. The 8-bit converted data from the folder stage is input into the digital error correction logic and used in calculation of the lower significant bits. In addition, the 0 V common mode allows for a very simple DC coupled analog input connection if desired. The current drive requirements for the analog input are minimal when compared to conventional flash converters due to the SPT7870’s low input capacitance of only 5 pF and very high input impedance of 150 kΩ. The error correction logic incorporates a proprietary scheme for compensation of any internal offset and gain errors that might exist to determine the 10-bit conversion result. The resultant 10 bit data conversion is internally latched and presented on the data output pins via buffered output drivers. CLOCK INPUTS The clock inputs are designed to be driven differentially with ECL levels. For optimal noise performance, the clock input rise time should be a maximum of 1.5 ns. Because of this, the use of fast logic is recommended. The analog input signal is latched on the rising edge of the CLK. TYPICAL INTERFACE CIRCUIT The SPT7870 requires few external components to achieve the stated operation and performance. Figure 2 shows the typical interface requirements when using the SPT7870 in normal circuit operation. The following section provides a description of the pin functions and outlines critical performance criteria to consider for achieving the optimal device performance. The clock may be driven single-ended since the NCLK pin is internally biased to -1.3 V. NCLK may be left open but a .01 µF bypass capacitor from NCLK to AGND is recommended. NOTE: System performance may be degraded due to increased clock noise or jitter. POWER SUPPLIES AND GROUNDING The SPT7870 requires the use of two supply voltages, VEE and VCC. Both supplies should be treated as analog supply sources. This means the VEE and VCC ground returns of the device SPT The performance of the SPT7870 is specified and tested with a 50% clock duty cycle. However, at sample rates greater SPT7870 4 9/8/98 DIGITAL OUTPUT DATA TIMING than 80 MSPS, additional gains in dynamic performance of the device may be obtained by adjusting the clock duty cycle. Typically, operation between 55 to 60% duty cycle will yield improved results. The data is presented on the output pins two clock cycles after the input is sampled with an additional output delay of typically 3 ns. The data is held valid for one clock cycle. Refer to the timing diagram shown in figure 1. INTERNAL VOLTAGE REFERENCE DIGITAL OUTPUT CONTROL PINS - MINV, LINV The SPT7870 incorporates an on-chip voltage reference. The top and bottom reference voltages are each internally tied to their respective top and bottom of the internal reference ladder. The pins for the voltage references and the ladder (including the center of the ladder) are brought out to pins on the device for decoupling purposes only (pins VT, VM, and VB). A .01 µF capacitor should be used on each pin and tied to AGND. See the typical interface circuit (figure 2). Two digital output control pins control the digital output format. See table III. The MINV pin is a CMOS/TTL-compatible input. It inverts the most-significant bit (D9) when tied to +5 V. The MSB (D9) is noninverted when MINV is tied to ground or floated. The MINV pin is internally pulled down to ground. The LINV pin is a CMOS/TTL-compatible input. It inverts the least-significant bits (D8 through D0) when tied to +5 V. The least-significant bits (D8 through D0) are noninverted when LINV is tied to ground or floated. The LINV pin is internally pulled down to ground. The internal voltage reference and the internal error correction logic eliminate the need for driving externally the voltage reference ladder. In fact, the voltage reference ladder should not be driven with an external voltage reference source as the internal error correction circuitry already compensates for the internal voltage and no improvement will result. Table III - Data Output Bits DIGITAL OUTPUTS MINV 0V 0V +5 V +5 V DIGITAL OUTPUT DATA FORMAT - D0 - D9 D0 is the least-significant bit for the digital data output, and D9 is the most-significant bit. Four data output formats are available and are controlled by the MINV and LINV pins. Table III shows the four possible output formats possible as a function of MINV and LINV. Table II shows the output coding data format versus analog input voltage relationship. VIN The SPT7870 supports ECL (10K and 100K compatible) and PECL logic levels. It has single-ended output drive capability. ECL termination resistors of 50 Ω to -2 V are required as shown in the typical interface circuit in figure 2. To interface to PECL logic levels, supply +5 V to DGND and terminate the digital outputs through 50 Ω resistors to +3 V.

A heat sink in still air provides adequate thermal performance under laboratory tests. Air flow may be required for operation at elevated ambient temperature. SPT recommends that the junction temperature be maintained under +150 °C. *Refer to table III for possible output formats. The thermal impedance values for the cerquad package are θJC = 3.3 °C/W and θJA = 70 °C/W (junction to ambient in still air with no heat sink). OVERRANGE BIT - D10 D10 is the overrange bit which is asserted whenever the analog input signal exceeds the positive full scale input by 1 LSB. When this condition occurs the D10 bit will be asserted to logic high and remain high continuously until the overrange condition is removed from the input. All other output signals will also stay at their maximum encoded output throughout this condition. D10 is not asserted for an underscale condition when the input exceeds the negative full scale.
