The AD871 uses a multistage differential pipelined architecture with error correction logic to provide 12-bit accuracy at 5 MSPS data rates and guarantees no missing codes over the full operating temperature range. The AD871 is a redesigned variation of the AD872 12-bit, 10 MSPS ADC, optimized for lower noise in applications requiring sampling rates of 5 MSPS or less. The AD871 is pin compatible with the AD872, allowing the parts to be used interchangeably as system requirements change. The low-noise input track-and-hold (T/H) of the AD871 is ideally suited for high-end imaging applications. In addition, the T/H’s high input impedance and fast settling characteristics allow the AD871 to easily interface with multiplexed systems that switch multiple signals through a single A/D converter. The dynamic performance of the input T/H also renders the AD871 suitable for sampling single channel inputs at frequencies up to and beyond the Nyquist rate. The AD871 provides both reference output and reference input pins, allowing the onboard reference to serve as a system reference. An external reference can also be chosen to suit the dc accuracy and temperature drift requirements of the application. A single clock input is used to control all internal conversion cycles. The digital output data is presented in twos complement binary output format. An out-ofrange signal indicates an overflow condition, and can be used with the most significant bit to determine low or high overflow.

Low Power—The AD871 at 1.03 W consumes a fraction of the power of presently available hybrids. On-Chip Track-and-Hold (T/H)—The low noise, high impedance T/H input eliminates the need for external buffers and can be configured for single ended or differential inputs. Ease of Use—The AD871 is complete with T/H and voltage reference and is pin-compatible with the AD872 (12-bit, 10 MSPS monolithic ADC). Out of Range (OTR)—The OTR output bit indicates when the input signal is beyond the AD871’s input range. REV. A Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive full scale.” The point used as “negative full scale” occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. “Positive full scale” is defined as a level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of each particular code to the true straight line. DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY ERROR (DNL, NO MISSING CODES) An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Guaranteed no missing codes to 12-bit resolution indicates that all 4096 codes must be present over all operating ranges. DYNAMIC SPECIFICATIONS SIGNAL-TO-NOISE AND DISTORTION (S/N+D) RATIO S/N+D is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for S/N+D is expressed in decibels. TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic components to the rms value of the measured input signal and is expressed as a percentage or in decibels. ZERO ERROR The major carry transition should occur for an analog value 1/2 LSB below analog common. Zero error is defined as the deviation of the actual transition from that point. The zero error and temperature drift specify the initial deviation and maximum change in the zero error over temperature. INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) The first code transition should occur for an analog value 1/2 LSB above nominal negative full scale. The last transition should occur for an analog value 1 1/2 LSB below the nominal positive full scale. Gain error is the deviation of the actual difference between first and last code transitions and the ideal difference between first and last code transitions. With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and fb, any device with nonlinearities will create distortion products, of order (m + n), at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3 . . . . Intermodulation terms are those for which m or n is not equal to zero. For example, the second order terms are (fa + fb) and (fa – fb), and the third order terms are (2 fa + fb), (2 fa – fb), (fa + 2 fb) and (2 fb – fa). The IMD products are expressed as the decibel ratio of the rms sum of the measured input signals to the rms sum of the distortion terms. The two signals are of equal amplitude and the peak value of their sums is –0.5 dB from full scale. The IMD products are normalized to a 0 dB input signal. TEMPERATURE DRIFT FULL-POWER BANDWIDTH The temperature drift for zero error and gain error specifies the maximum change from the initial (25°C) value to the value at TMIN or TMAX. The full-power bandwidth is that input frequency at which the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by 3 dB for a full-scale input. POWER SUPPLY REJECTION SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE The specifications show the maximum change in the converter’s full-scale as the supplies are varied from nominal to min/max values. The difference, in dB, between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal. GAIN ERROR ORDERING GUIDE APERTURE JITTER Aperture jitter is the variation in aperture delay for successive samples and is manifested as noise on the input to the A/D. APERTURE DELAY Aperture delay is a measure of the Track-and-Hold Amplifier (THA) performance and is measured from the rising edge of the clock input to when the input signal is held for conversion.

A AD871 THEORY OF OPERATION While the part uses both clock edges for its timing, jitter is only a significant issue for the rising edge of the clock (see CLOCK INPUT section). The AD871 is implemented using a 4-stage pipelined multiple flash architecture. A differential input track-and-hold amplifier (THA) acquires the input and converts the input voltage into a differential current. A 4-bit approximation of the input is made by the first flash converter, and an accurate analog representation of this 4-bit guess is generated by a digital-to-analog converter. This approximation is subtracted from the THA output to produce a remainder, or residue. This residue is then sampled and held by the second THA, and a 4-bit approximation is generated and subtracted by the second stage. Once the second THA goes into hold, the first stage goes back into track to acquire a new input signal. The third stage provides a 3-bit approximation/subtraction operation, and produces the final residue, which is passed to a final 4-bit flash converter. The 15 output bits from the four flash converters are accumulated in the correction logic block, which adds the bits together using the appropriate correction algorithm, to produce the 12-bit output word. The digital output, together with overrange indicator, is latched into an output buffer to drive the output pins. APPLYING THE AD871 ANALOG INPUTS The AD871 features a high impedance differential input that can readily operate on either single-ended or differential input signals. Table I summarizes the nominal input voltage span for both single-ended and differential modes, assuming a 2.5 V reference input. Table I. Input Voltage Span Single-Ended Differential The additional THA inserted in each stage of the AD871 architecture allows pipelining of the conversion. In essence, the converter is simultaneously converting multiple inputs serially, processing them through the converter chain. This means that while the converter is capable of capturing a new input sample every clock cycle, it actually takes three clock cycles for the conversion to be fully processed and appear at the output. This “pipeline delay” is often referred to as latency, and is not a concern in most applications; however, there are some cases where it may be a consideration. For example, some applications call for the A/D converter to be placed in a high speed feedback loop, where its input is servoed to provide a desired result at the digital output (e.g., offset calibration or zero restoration in video applications). In these cases the 3 clock cycle delay through the pipeline must be accounted for in the loop stability calculations. Also, because the converter is simultaneously working on three conversions, major disruptions to the part (such as a large glitch on the supplies or reference) may corrupt three data samples. Finally, there will be a minimum clock rate below which the THA droop corrupts the signal in the pipeline. In the case of the AD871, this minimum clock rate is 10 kHz.

As this model indicates, when the input exceeds 1.6 V (with respect to AGND), the input device may saturate, causing the input impedance to drop substantially and significantly reducing the performance of the part. Input compliance in the negative direction is somewhat larger, showing virtually no degradation in performance for inputs as low as –1.9 V. +5V 1.75mA +1.6V VINA OR VINB 61V 5pF AD871 –1.9V 1.75mA –5V Figure 10. AD871 Equivalent Analog Input Circuit Figure 11 illustrates the effect of varying the common-mode voltage of a –0.5 dB input signal on total harmonic distortion. The high impedance differential inputs of the AD871 allow a variety of input configurations (see Applying the AD871). The AD871 converts the voltage difference between the VINA and VINB pins. For single-ended applications, one input pin (VINA or VINB) may be grounded, but even in this case the differential input can provide a performance boost: for example, for an input coming from a coaxial cable, VINB can be tied to the shield ground, allowing the AD871 to reject shield noise as common mode. The high input impedance of the device minimizes external driving requirements and allows the user to externally select the appropriate termination impedance for the application. 0 –10 –20 THD – dB –30 –40 –50 –60 –70 The AD871 clock circuitry uses both edges of the clock in its internal timing circuitry (see Specifications page for exact timing requirements.) The AD871 samples the analog input on the rising edge of the clock input. During the clock low time (between the falling edge and rising edge of the clock) the input THA is in track mode; during the clock high time it is in hold. System disturbances just prior to the rising edge of the clock may cause the part to acquire the wrong value, and should be minimized. REV.

AD871 Single-Ended Input Connection Using a Shielded Cable 3600 3200 MAGNITUDE – LSB The cable shield is used as the ground connection for the VINB input, providing the best possible rejection of the cable noise from the input signal. Note also that the high input impedance of the AD871 allows the user to select the termination impedance, be it 50 ohms, 75 ohms, or some other value. Furthermore, unlike many flash converters, most AD871 applications will not require an external buffer amplifier. If such an amplifier is required, we suggest either the AD811 or AD9617. 2800 2400 2000 1600 1200 800 400 Figure 15 illustrates how external amplifiers may be used to convert a single-ended input into a differential signal.

A AD871 The wide input bandwidth and superior dynamic performance of the input THA make the AD871 suitable for sampling inputs at frequencies up to the Nyquist Rate. The input THA is designed to recover rapidly from input overdrive conditions, returning from a 50% overdrive in less than 100 ns. Because of the THA’s exceptionally wide input bandwidth, some users may find the AD871 is sensitive to noise at frequencies from 10 MHz to 50 MHz that other converters are incapable of responding to. This sensitivity can be mitigated by careful use of the differential inputs (see previous paragraphs). Additionally, Figure 18 shows how a small capacitor (10 pF – 20 pF for 50 Ω terminated inputs) may be placed between VINA and VINB to help reduce high frequency noise in applications where limiting the input bandwidth is acceptable. with an rms noise of 28 µV (using an external 1 µF capacitor), contributes 24 µV (0.05 LSB) of noise to the transfer function of the AD871. The full-scale peak-to-peak input voltage is a function of the reference voltage, according to the equation: (VINA – VINB) Full Scale = 0.8 × (VREF – REF GND) Note that the AD871’s performance was optimized for a 2.5 V reference input: performance may degrade somewhat for other reference voltages. Figure 20 illustrates the S/(N+D) performance vs. reference voltage for a 1 MHz, –0.5 dB input signal. Note also that if the reference is changed during a conversion, all three conversions in the pipeline will be invalidated. 70 61V 1 VINA 2 S/(N + D) – dB AD871 10 OR 20pF VINB Figure 18. Optional High Frequency Noise Reduction The AD871 will contribute its own wideband thermal noise. As a result of the integrated wideband noise (0.17 LSB rms, referred-to-input), applying a dc analog input may produce more than one code at the output. A histogram of the ADC output codes, for a dc input voltage, will be between 1 and 3 codes wide, depending on how well the input is centered on a given code and how many samples are taken. Figure 8 shows a typical AD871 code histogram, and Figure 9 illustrates the AD871’s transition noise. REFERENCE INPUT The nominal reference input should be 2.5 V, taken with respect to REFERENCE GROUND (REF GND). Figure 19 illustrates the equivalent model for the reference input: there is no clock or signal-dependent activity associated with the reference input circuitry, therefore no “kickback” into the reference. 50 1.5 1 2 2.5 3 3.5 REFERENCE INPUT VOLTAGE – Volts Figure 20.

This should lower the current in REF GND to less than 350 µA and eliminate the need for a 1 µF capacitor, although decoupling the reference for noise reduction purposes is recommended. 2 AVSS Figure 19. Equivalent Reference Input Circuit However, in order to realize the lowest noise performance of the AD871, care should be taken to minimize noise at the reference input. Alternatively, Figure 21 shows how the AD871 may be driven from other references by use of an external resistor. The external resistor forms a resistor divider with the on-chip 5 kΩ resistor to realize 2.5 V at the reference input pin (REF IN). A trim potentiometer is needed to accommodate the tolerance of the AD871’s 5 kΩ resistor. The AD871’s reference input impedance is equal to 5 kΩ (± 20%), and its effective noise bandwidth is 10 MHz, with a referredto-input noise gain of 0.8. For example, the internal reference, REV.

When the internal reference is operating, it will draw approximately 500 µA of current through the reference ground, so a low impedance path to the external common is desirable. The AD871 can tolerate a fairly large difference between REF GND and AGND, up to ± 1 V, without any performance degradation. 2.45 –55 –35 –15 5 25 45 65 85 105 125 TEMPERATURE – 8C Figure 23.

The output stage of the reference was designed to allow the use of an external capacitor to limit the wideband noise. As Figure 22 illustrates, a 1 µF capacitor on the reference output is required for stability of the reference output buffer. Note: If used, an external reference may become unstable with this capacitor in place. 2.46 2.44 2.42 2.40 1k REF IN 1M Figure 24.

Figure 23 shows the typical temperature drift performance of the reference, while Figure 24 illustrates the variation in reference voltage with load currents. The output stage is designed to provide at least 2 mA of output current, allowing a single reference to drive up to four AD871s or other external loads.

In the 44-terminal surface mount packages, both MSB and MSB bits are provided. The AD871 features a digital out-of-range (OTR) bit that goes high when the input exceeds positive full scale or falls below negative full scale. As Table III indicates, the output bits will be set appropriately according to whether it is an out-of-range high condition or an out-of-range low condition. Note that if the input is driven beyond +1.5 V, the digital outputs may not stay at +FS, but may actually fold back to midscale. –12– REV. A AD871 THREE-STATE OUTPUTS The 44-terminal surface mount AD871 offers three-state outputs. The digital outputs can be placed into a three-state mode by pulling the OUTPUT ENABLE (OEN) pin LOW. Note that this function is not intended to be used to pull the AD871 on and off a bus at 5 MHz. Rather, it is intended to allow the ADC to be pulled off the bus for evaluation or test modes. Also, to avoid corruption of the sampled analog signal during conversion (three clock cycles), it is highly recommended that the AD871 be placed on the bus prior to the first sampling. As a result, careful selection of the logic family for the clock driver, as well as the fanout and capacitive load on the clock line, is important. Jitter-induced errors become more pronounced at higher frequency, large amplitude inputs, where the input slew rate is greatest. The AD871 is designed to support a sampling rate of 5 MSPS; running at slightly faster clock rates may be possible, although at reduced performance levels. Conversely, some slight performance improvements might be realized by clocking the AD871 at slower clock rates. Figure 27 presents the S/(N+D) vs. clock frequency for a 1 MHz analog input. 75 S/(N+D) – dB The AD871’s CMOS digital output drivers are sized to provide sufficient output current to drive a wide variety of logic families. However, large drive currents tend to cause glitches on the supplies and may affect S/(N+D) performance. Applications requiring the AD871 to drive large capacitive loads or large fanout may require additional decoupling capacitors on DRVDD and DVDD. In extreme cases, external buffers or latches could be used. OEN tDD DATA OUTPUT 65 tHL ACTIVE THREE-STATE 55 3 8 FREQUENCY – MHz Figure 25. Three-State Output Timing Diagram 13 Figure 27. Typical S/(N+D) vs. Clock Frequency fIN = 1 MHz, Full-Scale Input For timing budgetary purposes, the typical access and float delay times for the AD871 are 50 ns. CLOCK INPUT The AD871 internal timing control uses the two edges of the clock input to generate a variety of internal timing signals. The optimal clock input should have a 50% duty cycle; however, sensitivity to duty cycle is significantly reduced for clock rates of less than 5 megasamples per second. The power dissipated by the correction logic and output buffers is largely proportional to the clock frequency; running at reduced clock rates provides a slight reduction in power consumption. Figure 28 illustrates this tradeoff. 1.03 POWER – W +5V R Q D 75XX74 Q 10MHz CLK 1.02 S +5V Figure 26. Divide-by-Two Clock Circuit 1.01 0.100 Due to the nature of on-chip compensation circuitry, the duty cycle should be maintained between 40% and 60%, even for clock rates less than 5 MSPS. One way to realize a 50% duty cycle clock is to divide down a clock of higher frequency, as shown in Figure 26. 2.100 3.100 4.100 5.100 FREQUENCY – MHz Figure 28. Typical Power Dissipation vs. Clock Frequency ANALOG SUPPLIES AND GROUNDS In this case, a 10 MHz clock is divided by 2 to produce the 5 MHz clock input for the AD871. In this configuration, the duty cycle of the 10 MHz clock is irrelevant. The input circuitry for the CLKIN pin is designed to accommodate both TTL and CMOS inputs. The quality of the logic input, particularly the rising edge, is critical in realizing the best possible jitter performance for the part: the faster the rising edge, the better the jitter performance. REV. A 1.100 The AD871 features separate analog and digital supply and ground pins, helping to minimize digital corruption of sensitive analog signals. In general, AVSS and AVDD, the analog supplies, should be decoupled to AGND, the analog common, as close to the chip as physically possible. Care has been taken to minimize the signal dependence of the power supply currents; however, the analog supply currents will be proportional to the reference input. With REFIN at 2.5 V, the typical current into AVDD is –13– AD871 function of the load on the output bits: large capacitive loads are to be avoided. In the 44-terminal package, the output drivers are supplied through dedicated pins DRGND and DRVDD. Pin count constraints in the 28-lead packages require that the digital and driver supplies share package pins (although they have separate bond wires and on-chip routing). The decoupling shown in Figure 34 is appropriate for a reasonable capacitive load on the digital outputs (typically 20 pF on each pin). Applications involving greater digital loads should consider increasing the digital decoupling proportionately, and/or using external buffers/latches. 82 mA, while the typical current out of AVSS is 115 mA. Typically, 33 mA will flow into the AGND pin. Careful design and the use of differential circuitry provide the AD871 with excellent rejection of power supply noise over a wide range of frequencies, as illustrated in Figure 29. –75 SUPPLY REJECTION – dB –80 AVDD –85 APPLICATIONS AVSS OPTIONAL ZERO AND GAIN TRIM DVDD –90 The AD871 is factory trimmed to minimize zero error, gain error and linearity errors. In some applications the zero and gain errors of the AD871 need to be externally adjusted to zero. If required, both zero error and gain error can be trimmed with external potentiometers as shown in Figure 31. Note that gain error adjustments must be made with an external reference. –95 –100 10k 100k 1M 10M Zero trim should be adjusted first. Connect VINA to ground and adjust the 10 kΩ potentiometer so that a nominal digital output code of 0000 0000 0000 (twos complement output) exists. Note that the zero trim should be decoupled and that the accuracy of the ± 2.5 V reference signals will directly affect the offset. FREQUENCY – Hz Figure 29. Power Supply Rejection vs. Frequency, 100 mV p-p Signal on Power Supplies Figure 30 shows the degradation in SNR resulting from 100 mV of power supply ripple at various frequencies. As Figure 30 shows, careful decoupling is required to realize the specified dynamic performance. Figure 34 demonstrates the recommended decoupling strategy for the supply pins. Note that in extremely noisy environments, a more elaborate supply filtering scheme may be necessary. Gain error may then be calibrated by adjusting the REF IN voltage. The REF IN voltage should be adjusted such that a +1 V input on VINA results in the digital output code 01111 1111 1111 (twos complement output).

SNR vs. Supply Noise Frequency (fIN = 1 MHz) DIGITAL SUPPLIES AND GROUNDS The digital activity on the AD871 chip falls into two general categories: CMOS correction logic, and CMOS output drivers. The internal correction logic draws relatively small surges of current, mainly during the clock transitions; in the 44-terminal package, these currents flow through pins DGND and DVDD. The output drivers draw large current impulses while the output bits are changing. The size and duration of these currents is a The AD871 provides differential inputs that may be used to correct for any offset voltages on the analog input. For applications where the input signal contains a dc offset, it may be advantageous to apply a nulling voltage to the VINB input. Applying a voltage equal to the dc offset will maximize the full-scale input range and therefore the dynamic range. Offsets ranging from –0.7 V to +0.5 V can be corrected. Figure 32 shows how a dc offset can be applied using the AD568 12-bit, high speed digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This circuit can be used for applications requiring offset adjustments on every clock cycle. The AD568 connection scheme is used to provide a –0.512 V to +0.512 V output range. The offset voltage must be stable on the rising edge of the AD871 clock input. –14– REV. A AD871 1 VIN The peak performance of this circuit is obtained by driving the AD871 + AD9100 combination with a full-scale input. For small scale input signals (–20 dB, –40 dB), the AD871 performs better without the track-and-hold because slew-limiting effects are no longer dominant. To gain the advantages of the added track-and-hold, it is important to give the AD871 a full-scale input. VINA AD871 8 DIGITAL OFFSET WORD 4 74 HC 574 8 74 HC 574 4 AD568 2 IBPO IOUT RL ACOM LCOM REF COM VINB An alternative to the configuration presented above is to use the AD9101 track-and-hold amplifier. The AD9101 provides a built-in post amplifier with a gain of 4, providing excellent ac characteristics in conjunction with a high level of integration. Figure 32. Offset Correction Using the AD568 UNDERSAMPLING USING THE AD871 AND AD9100 The AD871’s on-chip THA optimizes transient response while maintaining low noise performance. For super-Nyquist (undersampling) applications it may be necessary to use an external THA with fast track-mode slew rate and hold mode settling time. An excellent choice for this application is the AD9100, an ultrahigh speed track-and-hold amplifier. In order to maximize the spurious free dynamic range of the circuit in Figure 33, it is advantageous to present a small signal to the input of the AD9100 and then amplify the output to the AD871’s full-scale input range. This can be accomplished with a low distortion, wide bandwidth amplifier such as the AD9617. The circuit uses a gain of 3.5 to optimize S/(N+D). As illustrated in Figure 33, it is necessary to skew the AD871 sample clock and the AD9100 sample/hold control. Clock skew (tS) is defined as the time starting at the AD9100’s transition into hold mode and ending at the moment the AD871 samples. The AD871 samples on the rising edge of the sample clock, and the AD9100 samples on the falling edge of the sample/hold control. The choice of tS is primarily determined by the settling time of the AD9100. The droop rate of the AD9100 must also be taken into consideration. Using these values, the ideal tS is 17 ns. When choosing clock sources, it is extremely important that the front end track-and-hold sample/hold control is given a very low jitter clock source. This is not as crucial for the AD871 sample clock, because it is sampling a dc signal. +5V +VS +VS –VS 0.1mF 10mF VIN CLOCK 2 IN 3.3mF 0.1mF RT 442V CLOCK 1 IN AD9100 Q RT AD96685 127V Q * 510V –VS 510V AIN AD9617 * –VS AD871 EB 0.1mF 0.1mF 3.3mF +VS = 5.0V –VS = –5.2V –5V ALL CAPACITORS ARE 0.01mF (LOW INDUCTANCE - DECOUPLING) UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. –VS 10mF *OPTIONAL, SEE AD9617 DATA SHEET T = 200ns +5V CLOCK 2 0V tS = 17ns tS T = 200ns +1V CLOCK 1 –1V Figure 33.
