ADC12DC105
Dual 12-Bit, 105 MSPS A/D Converter with CMOS Outputs
General Description
Features
The ADC12DC105 is a high-performance CMOS analog-todigital converter capable of converting two analog input signals into 12-bit digital words at rates up to 105 Mega Samples
Per Second (MSPS). These converters use a differential,
pipelined architecture with digital error correction and an onchip sample-and-hold circuit to minimize power consumption
and the external component count, while providing excellent
dynamic performance. A unique sample-and-hold stage
yields a full-power bandwidth of 1 GHz. The ADC12DC080/105 may be operated from a single +3.0V or
+3.3V power supply. A power-down feature reduces the power consumption to very low levels while still allowing fast
wake-up time to full operation. The differential inputs provide
a 2V full scale differential input swing. A stable 1.2V internal
voltage reference is provided, or the ADC12DC105 can be
operated with an external 1.2V reference. Output data format
(offset binary versus 2's complement) and duty cycle stabilizer are pin-selectable. The duty cycle stabilizer maintains
performance over a wide range of clock duty cycles.
The ADC12DC105 is available in a 60-lead LLP package and
operates over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to
+85°C.

VRNB
Differential analog input pins. The differential full-scale input signal
level is 2VP-P with each input pin signal centered on a common
mode voltage, VCM.
These pins should each be bypassed to AGND with a low ESL
(equivalent series inductance) 0.1 µF capacitor placed very close
to the pin to minimize stray inductance. An 0201 size 0.1 µF
capacitor should be placed between VRP and VRN as close to the
pins as possible, and a 1 µF capacitor should be placed in parallel.
VRP and VRN should not be loaded. VCMO may be loaded to 1mA
for use as a temperature stable 1.5V reference.
It is recommended to use VCMO to provide the common mode
voltage, VCM, for the differential analog inputs.
VREF
Reference Voltage. This device provides an internally developed
1.2V reference. When using the internal reference, VREF should be
decoupled to AGND with a 0.1 µF and a 1µF, low equivalent series
inductance (ESL) capacitor.
This pin may be driven with an external 1.2V reference voltage.
This pin should not be used to source or sink current when the
internal reference is used.

OF/DCS
This is a four-state pin controlling the input clock mode and output
data format.
OF/DCS = VA, output data format is 2's complement without duty
cycle stabilization applied to the input clock.
OF/DCS = AGND, output data format is offset binary, without duty
cycle stabilization applied to the input clock.
OF/DCS = (2/3)*VA, output data is 2's complement with duty cycle
stabilization applied to the input clock.
OF/DCS = (1/3)*VA, output data is offset binary with duty cycle
stabilization applied to the input clock.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
guaranteed to be 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. Operation of the device beyond the maximum Operating Ratings is not recommended.
Note 2: This parameter is specified in units of dBFS - indicating the value that would be attained with a full-scale input signal.
Note 3: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = AGND = DRGND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 4: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is, VIN < AGND, or VIN > VA), the current at that pin should be limited to ±5 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 ±5 mA to 10.
Note 5: The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by TJ,max, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, (θJA), and the ambient temperature, (TA), and
can be calculated using the formula PD,max = (TJ,max - TA )/θJA. The values for maximum power dissipation listed above will be reached only when the device is
operated in a severe fault condition (e.g. when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is reversed). Such
conditions should always be avoided.
Note 6: Human Body Model is 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine Model is 220 pF discharged through 0 Ω.
Note 7: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non-lead-free packages.
Note 8: The inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes above VA or below GND will not damage this device, provided current is limited per
(Note 4). However, errors in the A/D conversion can occur if the input goes above 2.6V or below GND as described in the Operating Ratings section.
30073911
Note 9: With a full scale differential input of 2VP-P , the 12-bit LSB is 488 µV.
Note 10: Typical figures are at TA = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norms at the time of product characterization. The typical specifications are not
guaranteed.
Note 11: Integral Non Linearity is defined as the deviation of the analog value, expressed in LSBs, from the straight line that passes through positive and negative
full-scale.
Note 12: The input capacitance is the sum of the package/pin capacitance and the sample and hold circuit capacitance.
Note 13: IDR is the current consumed by the switching of the output drivers and is primarily determined by load capacitance on the output pins, the supply voltage,
VDR, and the rate at which the outputs are switching (which is signal dependent). IDR=VDR(C0 x f0 + C1 x f1 +....C11 x f11) where VDR is the output driver power
supply voltage, Cn is total capacitance on the output pin, and fn is the average frequency at which that pin is toggling.
Note 14: This parameter is guaranteed by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.

APERTURE DELAY is the time after the falling edge of the
clock to when the input signal is acquired or held for conversion.
APERTURE JITTER (APERTURE UNCERTAINTY) is the
variation in aperture delay from sample to sample. Aperture
jitter manifests itself as noise in the output.
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time during one cycle
that a repetitive digital waveform is high to the total time of
one period. The specification here refers to the ADC clock
input signal.
COMMON MODE VOLTAGE (VCM) is the common DC voltage applied to both input terminals of the ADC.
CONVERSION LATENCY is the number of clock cycles between initiation of conversion and when that data is presented
to the output driver stage. Data for any given sample is available at the output pins the Pipeline Delay plus the Output
Delay after the sample is taken. New data is available at every
clock cycle, but the data lags the conversion by the pipeline
delay.
CROSSTALK is coupling of energy from one channel into the
other channel.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of
the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB.
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 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.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the
transfer function. It can be calculated as:
Gain Error = Positive Full Scale Error − Negative Full Scale
Error
It can also be expressed as Positive Gain Error and Negative
Gain Error, which are calculated as:
PGE = Positive Full Scale Error - Offset Error
NGE = Offset Error - Negative Full Scale Error
INTEGRAL NON LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a best fit straight line. The
deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured
from the center of that code value.
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 intermodulation
products to the total power in 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 full scale input voltage and “n” is the ADC resolution in bits.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never appear at the ADC outputs. The ADC is guaranteed not to have
any missing codes.
where f1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output) frequency and f2 through f7 are the RMS power of the first 6
harmonic frequencies in the output spectrum.
SECOND HARMONIC DISTORTION (2ND HARM) is the difference expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the input
frequency at the output and the power in its 2nd harmonic
level at the output.
THIRD HARMONIC DISTORTION (3RD HARM) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the
input frequency at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic
level at the output.

ADC12DC105
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 is the difference between
the actual first code transition and its ideal value of ½ LSB
above negative full scale.
OFFSET ERROR is the difference between the two input
voltages [(VIN+) – (VIN-)] required to cause a transition from
code 2047 to 2048.
OUTPUT DELAY is the time delay after the falling edge of the
clock before the data update is presented at the output pins.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) See CONVERSION LATENCY.
POSITIVE FULL SCALE ERROR is the difference between
the actual last code transition and its ideal value of 1½ LSB
below positive full scale.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) is a measure
of how well the ADC rejects a change in the power supply
voltage. PSRR is the ratio of the Full-Scale output of the ADC
with the supply at the minimum DC supply limit to the FullScale output of the ADC with the supply at the maximum DC
supply limit, expressed in dB.
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in
dB, of the rms value of the input signal to the rms value of the
sum of all other spectral components below one-half the sampling frequency, not including harmonics or DC.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/N+D or
SINAD) Is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the
input signal to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below half the clock frequency, including harmonics
but excluding d.c.
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the rms values of the input
signal and the peak spurious signal, where a spurious signal
is any signal present in the output spectrum that is not present
at the input.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms total of the first six harmonic levels
at the output to the level of the fundamental at the output. THD
is calculated as:

ADC12DC105
For single frequency sine waves the full scale error in LSB
can be described as approximately:
Functional Description
Operating on a single +3.0V or +3.3V supply, the ADC12DC105 digitizes two differential analog input signals to 12
bits, using a differential pipelined architecture with error correction circuitry and an on-chip sample-and-hold circuit to
ensure maximum performance. The user has the choice of
using an internal 1.2V stable reference, or using an external
1.2V reference. Any external reference is buffered on-chip to
ease the task of driving that pin. Duty cycle stabilization and
output data format are selectable using the quad state function OF/DCS pin (pin 19). The output data can be set for offset
binary or two's complement.
EFS = 4096 ( 1 - sin (90° + dev))
Where dev is the angular difference in degrees between the
two signals having a 180° relative phase relationship to each
other (see Figure 4). For single frequency inputs, angular errors result in a reduction of the effective full scale input. For
complex waveforms, however, angular errors will result in
distortion.
Applications Information
1.0 OPERATING CONDITIONS
We recommend that the following conditions be observed for
operation of the ADC12DC105:
2.7V ≤ VA ≤ 3.6V
2.4V ≤ VDR ≤ VA
20 MHz ≤ fCLK ≤ 105 MHz
1.2V internal reference
VREF = 1.2V (for an external reference)
VCM = 1.5V (from VCMO)

FIGURE 4. Angular Errors Between the Two Input Signals
Will Reduce the Output Level or Cause Distortion
It is recommended to drive the analog inputs with a source
impedance less than 100Ω. Matching the source impedance
for the differential inputs will improve even ordered harmonic
performance (particularly second harmonic).
Table 1 indicates the input to output relationship of the ADC12DC105.
2.0 ANALOG INPUTS
2.1 Signal Inputs
2.1.1 Differential Analog Input Pins
The ADC12DC105 has a pair of analog signal input pins for
each of two channels. V IN+ and VIN− form a differential input
pair. The input signal, VIN, is defined as:
VIN = (VIN+) – (VIN−)
Figure 3 shows the expected input signal range. Note that the
common mode input voltage, VCM, should be 1.5V. Using
VCMO (pins 7,9) for VCM will ensure the proper input common
mode level for the analog input signal. The positive peaks of
the individual input signals should each never exceed 2.6V.
Each analog input pin of the differential pair should have a
maximum peak-to-peak voltage of 1V, be 180° out of phase
with each other and be centered around VCM.The peak-topeak voltage swing at each analog input pin should not exceed the 1V or the output data will be clipped.

Figure 5 and Figure 6 show examples of single-ended to differential conversion circuits. The circuit in Figure 5 works well
for input frequencies up to approximately 70MHz, while the
circuit inFigure 6 works well above 70MHz.
2.1.2 Driving the Analog Inputs
The VIN+ and the VIN− inputs of the ADC12DC105 have an
internal sample-and-hold circuit which consists of an analog
switch followed by a switched-capacitor amplifier.
30073982
FIGURE 5. Low Input Frequency Transformer Drive Circuit
30073983
FIGURE 6. High Input Frequency Transformer Drive Circuit
One short-coming of using a transformer to achieve the single-ended to differential conversion is that most RF transformers have poor low frequency performance. A differential
amplifier can be used to drive the analog inputs for low frequency applications. The amplifier must be fast enough to
settle from the charging glitches on the analog input resulting
from the sample-and-hold operation before the clock goes
high and the sample is passed to the ADC core.
2.2 Reference Pins
The ADC12DC105 is designed to operate with an internal or
external 1.2V reference. The internal 1.2 Volt reference is the
default condition when no external reference input is applied
to the VREF pin. If a voltage is applied to the VREF pin, then
that voltage is used for the reference. The VREF pin should
always be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor close
to the reference input pin. Do not load this pin when using the
internal reference.
It is important that all grounds associated with the reference
voltage and the analog input signal make connection to the
ground plane at a single, quiet point to minimize the effects of
noise currents in the ground path.
The Reference Bypass Pins (VRP, VCMO, and VRN) for channels A and B are made available for bypass purposes. These
pins should each be bypassed to AGND with a low ESL
(equivalent series inductance) 0.1 µF capacitor placed very
close to the pin to minimize stray inductance. A 0.1 µF capacitor should be placed between VRP and VRN as close to
the pins as possible, and a 1 µF capacitor should be placed
in parallel. This configuration is shown in Figure 7. It is nec-
2.1.3 Input Common Mode Voltage
The input common mode voltage, VCM, should be in the range
of 1.4V to 1.6V and be a value such that the peak excursions
of the analog signal do not go more negative than ground or
more positive than 2.6V. It is recommended to use VCMO (pins
7,9) as the input common mode voltage.
If the ADC12DC105 is operated with VA=3.6V, a resistor of
approximately 1KΩ should be used from the VCMO pin to AGND. This will help maintain stability over the entire temperature range when using a high supply voltage.

essary to avoid reference oscillation, which could result in
reduced SFDR and/or SNR. VCMO may be loaded to 1mA for
use as a temperature stable 1.5V reference. The remaining
pins should not be loaded.
Smaller capacitor values than those specified will allow faster
recovery from the power down mode, but may result in degraded noise performance. Loading any of these pins, other
than VCMO may result in performance degradation.
The nominal voltages for the reference bypass pins are as
follows:
VCMO = 1.5 V
VRP = 2.0 V
VRN = 1.0 V
the internal capacitors can dissipate to the point where the
accuracy of the output data will degrade. This is what limits
the minimum sample rate.
The clock line should be terminated at its source in the characteristic impedance of that line. Take care to maintain a
constant clock line impedance throughout the length of the
line. Refer to Application Note AN-905 for information on setting characteristic impedance.
It is highly desirable that the the source driving the ADC clock
pins only drive that pin. However, if that source is used to drive
other devices, then each driven pin should be AC terminated
with a series RC to ground, such that the resistor value is
equal to the characteristic impedance of the clock line and the
capacitor value is:
2.3 OF/DCS Pin
Duty cycle stabilization and output data format are selectable
using this quad state function pin. When enabled, duty cycle
stabilization can compensate for clock inputs with duty cycles
ranging from 30% to 70% and generate a stable internal clock,
improving the performance of the part. With OF/DCS = VA the
output data format is 2's complement and duty cycle stabilization is not used. With OF/DCS = AGND the output data
format is offset binary and duty cycle stabilization is not used.
With OF/DCS = (2/3)*VA the output data format is 2's complement and duty cycle stabilization is applied to the clock. If
OF/DCS is (1/3)*VA the output data format is offset binary and
duty cycle stabilization is applied to the clock. While the sense
of this pin may be changed "on the fly," doing this is not recommended as the output data could be erroneous for a few
clock cycles after this change is made.
Note: This signal has no effect when SPI_EN is high and the
serial control interface is enabled.
where tPD is the signal propagation rate down the clock line,
"L" is the line length and ZO is the characteristic impedance
of the clock line. This termination should be as close as possible to the ADC clock pin but beyond it as seen from the clock
source. Typical tPD is about 150 ps/inch (60 ps/cm) on FR-4
board material. The units of "L" and tPD should be the same
(inches or centimeters).
The duty cycle of the clock signal can affect the performance
of the A/D Converter. Because achieving a precise duty cycle
is difficult, the ADC12DC105 has a Duty Cycle Stabilizer.
4.0 DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Digital outputs consist of the CMOS signals DA0-DA11, DB0DB11, and DRDY.
The ADC12DC105 has 12 CMOS compatible data output pins
corresponding to the converted input value for each channel,
and a data ready (DRDY) signal that should be used to capture the output data. Valid data is present at these outputs
while the PD pin is low. Data should be captured and latched
with the rising edge of the DRDY signal.
Be very careful when driving a high capacitance bus. The
more capacitance the output drivers must charge for each
conversion, the more instantaneous digital current flows
through VDR and DRGND. These large charging current
spikes can cause on-chip ground noise and couple into the
analog circuitry, degrading dynamic performance. Adequate
bypassing, limiting output capacitance and careful attention
to the ground plane will reduce this problem. The result could
be an apparent reduction in dynamic performance.
3.0 DIGITAL INPUTS
Digital CMOS compatible inputs consist of CLK, PD_A, and
PD_B.
3.1 Clock Input
The CLK controls the timing of the sampling process. To
achieve the optimum noise performance, the clock input
should be driven with a stable, low jitter clock signal in the
range indicated in the Electrical Table. The clock input signal
should also have a short transition region. This can be
achieved by passing a low-jitter sinusoidal clock source
through a high speed buffer gate. The trace carrying the clock
signal should be as short as possible and should not cross
any other signal line, analog or digital, not even at 90°.
The clock signal also drives an internal state machine. If the
clock is interrupted, or its frequency is too low, the charge on

ADC12DC105
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces
to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. Any external component (e.g., a filter capacitor) connected between
the converter's input pins and ground or to the reference input
pin and ground should be connected to a very clean point in
the ground plane.
All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, reference components, etc.) should be placed in the analog area of the board.
All digital circuitry and dynamic I/O lines should be placed in
the digital area of the board. The ADC12DC105 should be
between these two areas. Furthermore, all components in the
reference circuitry and the input signal chain that are connected to ground should be connected together with short
traces and enter the ground plane at a single, quiet point. All
ground connections should have a low inductance path to
ground.
5.0 POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
The power supply pins should be bypassed with a 0.1 µF capacitor and with a 100 pF ceramic chip capacitor close to each
power pin. Leadless chip capacitors are preferred because
they have low series inductance.
As is the case with all high-speed converters, the ADC12DC105 is sensitive to power supply noise. Accordingly,
the noise on the analog supply pin should be kept below 100
mVP-P.
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of the
supply voltages, not even on a transient basis. Be especially
careful of this during power turn on and turn off.
6.0 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essential to ensure accurate conversion. Maintaining separate analog and digital areas of the board, with the ADC12DC105
between these areas, is required to achieve specified performance.
Capacitive coupling between the typically noisy digital circuitry and the sensitive analog circuitry can lead to poor performance. The solution is to keep the analog circuitry separated
from the digital circuitry, and to keep the clock line as short as
possible.
Since digital switching transients are composed largely of
high frequency components, total ground plane copper
weight will have little effect upon the logic-generated noise.
This is because of the skin effect. Total surface area is more
important than is total ground plane area.
Generally, analog and digital lines should cross each other at
90° to avoid crosstalk. To maximize accuracy in high speed,
high resolution systems, however, avoid crossing analog and
digital lines altogether. It is important to keep clock lines as
short as possible and isolated from ALL other lines, including
other digital lines. Even the generally accepted 90° crossing
should be avoided with the clock line as even a little coupling
can cause problems at high frequencies. This is because other lines can introduce jitter into the clock line, which can lead
to degradation of SNR. Also, the high speed clock can introduce noise into the analog chain.
Best performance at high frequencies and at high resolution
is obtained with a straight signal path. That is, the signal path
through all components should form a straight line wherever
possible.
Be especially careful with the layout of inductors and transformers. Mutual inductance can change the characteristics of
the circuit in which they are used. Inductors and transformers
should not be placed side by side, even with just a small part
of their bodies beside each other. For instance, place transformers for the analog input and the clock input at 90° to one
another to avoid magnetic coupling.
www.national.com
7.0 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
To achieve the best dynamic performance, the clock source
driving the CLK input must have a sharp transition region and
be free of jitter. Isolate the ADC clock from any digital circuitry
with buffers, as with the clock tree shown in Figure 8. The
gates used in the clock tree must be capable of operating at
frequencies much higher than those used if added jitter is to
be prevented.
As mentioned in Section 3.1 Clock Input, it is good practice to
keep the ADC clock line as short as possible and to keep it
well away from any other signals. Other signals can introduce
jitter into the clock signal, which can lead to reduced SNR
performance, and the clock can introduce noise into other
lines. Even lines with 90° crossings have capacitive coupling,
so try to avoid even these 90° crossings of the clock line.
