VP216
Dual 90MHz 6-Bit Analog to Digital Converter with VCO
Preliminary Information
DS4070 - 1.6 May 1996
The VP216 is a dual 90MHz 6-bit Analog to Digital
Converter designed for use in consumer satellite receivers
and
decoders,
video
systems,
multimedia
and
communications applications.
Operating from a single +5V supply, the VP216 includes
an on-chip high bandwidth ADC driver amplifier, a 6-bit ADC,
VCO or Ext. clock interface.
The VP216 also has the
necessary bias voltages for the reference resistor chain in
the 'flash' architecture of the ADC.

An on-chip bandgap voltage reference circuit combined with two op amps provide all the necessary bias voltages
VP216
Device Description
Clock Interface
The VP216 is a dual 90MHz 6-bit ADC system, (see
Fig.2). Included on chip is a high bandwidth ADC driver
amplifier, a 6-bit analog to digital converter, latches and TTL
data outputs. The VP216 also has the necessary bias
voltages for the reference resistor chain in the ‘flash’
architecture of the ADC and has an optional VCO or external
oscillator interface.
The VP216 clock interface allows the ADC to be clocked
in a number of ways. With the CLKSEL pin tied low the on
chip VCO is selected. With the CLKSEL pin tied high the
external TTL clock input is selected.

Analog Input
The analog inputs, (AIN_I,Q) are A.C. coupled into the
non-inverting ADC driver amplifiers, which provide the
necessary bandwidth, gain, offset and low impedance
required to drive the ADC. The amplifier has been designed
so that an input of 0 volts will produce an output level equal
to the voltage present at the middle of the ADC resistor
chain, (VRM = 3V typ.). This is achieved by an internal
feedback loop within each amplifier which compares the
amplifier output with VRM, (see Fig.3). This voltage will
produce a transition binary code of 011111 to 100000 at the
output of the ADC.
Table 2
The clock signal to the ADC synchronizes the sampling,
conversion and output stages of the device as shown in the
timing diagram (see Fig.4). The output of the ADC driver amp
is sampled when the comparator array is latched after a
rising edge of the input clock. Latched data is then presented
to the TTL data outputs and latched on the falling edge of the
input clock. The clock interface also provides a TTL clock
output on pin 27. This output is limited to driving capacitive
loads of 10pF. Output buffers are recommended for loads in
excess of 10pF.

Reference Voltage
An on chip band gap voltage reference circuit combined
with two op-amps provides all the necessary bias voltages
for the ADC reference resistor chain, (VRB), (VRM) and
(VRT). VRB, VRM and VRT have been brought out to pins 8,
7 and 6 respectively and should be decoupled with 100nF
capacitors close to the package pins.
Digital Interface
Table 3: Output coding
The TTL data output pins, (DI0-DI5) and (DQ0-DQ5)
have been optimized to interface with devices in close
proximity to the VP216 and are designed to provide
satisfactory logic levels at speeds up to 90MHz into a fanout
of one and a total load capacitance of 10pF. All data outputs
should have approximately equivalent loading to ensure
proper setup and hold timing. For capacitive loads in excess
of 10pF, output buffers are recommended.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS DEFINITIONS
Analog Bandwidth
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power
of the fundamental frequency, as determined by FFT analysis
is reduced by 3dB.
Aperture Delay
The delay between the rising edge of the 90MHz clock
signal and the instant the analog input signal is sampled.
Aperture Jitter
The sample to sample variation in aperture delay.
Bit Error Rate (BER)
The number of spurious code errors produced for any
given input sinewave frequency at a given clock frequency. In
this case it is the number of codes occurring outside the
histogram cusp for a 1/2 FS sinewave.
Data Outputs, Set-up and Hold Time
Data output timings are measured from 2.4V and 0.4V to
the 1.4V threshold on the rising edge of the output clock.
Differential Non-linearity
The deviation in any code width from an ideal 1 LSB step.
6
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
This is a measure of a device's dynamic performance
and may be obtained from the SNR or from a sine wave
curve test fit according to the following expressions:
ENOB = SNR-1.76/6.02
or
ENOB = N-log2[rms error (actual)/rms error (ideal)]
where N is the conversion resolution and the actual rms error
is the deviation from an ideal sine wave, calculated from the
converter outputs with a sine wave input.
Integral Non-linearity (INL)
The deviation of the centre of each code from a
reference line which has been determined by a least squares
curve fit.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of
‘noise’ which is defined as the sum of all other spectral
components, including the harmonics, but excluding D.C.
with a full-scale analog input signal.
