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 the 50% threshold to the 50% threshold on the rising edge of the output clock. Differential Non-linearity The deviation in any code width from an ideal 1 LSB step. 4 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. VP211 Device Description The VP211 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 compatible data outputs. The VP211 also has the necessary bias voltages for the reference resistor chain in the ‘flash’ architecture of the ADC. VRM Analog Input The analog inputs, (VIN A,B) are A.C. coupled into the non-inverting input of the 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 (3.00V 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. DC SHIFT COMP_(Q,I) CCOMP Fig.3 DC offset internal feedback loop 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, bottom (VRB), middle (VRM) and top(VRT). VRB, VRM and VRT have been brought out to pins 12, 9 and 4 respectively and should be decoupled with 100nF capacitors close to the package pins. Digital Interface The TTL data output pins, (DA0-DA5) and (DB0-DB5), have been optimized to interface with devices in close proximity to the VP211 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 times. For capacitive loads in excess of 10pF, output buffers are recommended. ADC Circuit The VP211 employs a ‘flash’ architecture consisting of a reference resistor chain, an array of 64 comparators, encoding logic and a 6-bit latch. The 63 reference levels generated by the resistor chain are compared with the analog output signal from the ADC driver amplifier using the comparator array. This produces a thermometer code which the encoding logic converts into a 6-bit word. Clock Interface 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 on the rising edge of the input clock. Data is then presented to the TTL data outputs and latched on the falling edge of the input clock. Latch Comparator τ1 L C VIN(A,B) TO ADC CC Reference Voltage V ref.

High performance can be obtained from the VP211 by tying all grounds to a solid low impedance ground plane. Separate analog and digital ground planes with a single common link under the device can also be used to help reduce the amount of digital noise fed back into the analog section of the converter. The VP211 should be decoupled with low impedance 100nF ceramic capacitors close to the package pins to avoid lead inductance effects and the decoupling on supply lines CLKIN 1.2µH 50R 100n 100n Cc Ccomp VINA 50R VCCA 47µ 100n should further be improved by using a 47µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 100nF ceramic capacitor. If VCCA is derived from VCCD, a small inductor should be used to reduce digital noise on the analog power supply. Jitter and noise on clock input pins must be minimised. Long clock lines should therefore be avoided and all clock lines correctly terminated. Cross talk of digital signals to the analog inputs must also be prevented as sampling cross talk produces DC offsets on the sampled data, for this reason analog inputs should not be run next to clock or data lines. Device connections to the ground plane should be as short as possible. 1 28 2 27 3 26 4 25 5 VP211 24 6 23 7 22 8 21 100n 47µ 100n 100n Cc A Channel Data 50R 100n VCCD 9 20 10 19 11 18 12 17 13 16 Analog Ground 14 15 Digital Ground Ccomp VINB 100n B Channel Data Fig.5 Applications diagram Application Circuit Fig.5 shows a typical applications circuit for the VP211. The supply connections are made using separate low noise digital and analog power supplies and VCCD is further isolated from VCCO using a 1.2µH inductor. The COMPA and COMPB pins must be decoupled to reduce any ripple at low frequencies which may distort the ADC driver amplifier output, (see Fig.2.) The decoupling capacitor value is determined by the required low frequency performance of the system and can be obtained from the following equation. CComp 6 = 75x10- 6 Fin x VRipple A ripple voltage ≤ 10mV is recommended for good system performance, e.g. If the analog input frequency Fin= 10KHz a value of 0.75µF is required for CComp. To ensure effective A.C. coupling at low input frequencies, the coupling capacitors on pins 6 and 11 can be calculated from the high pass filter corner frequency equation, Fc = 1 2 x π x RC where Fc = Lower -3dB corner frequency (R = Input Resistance, 25K typ. - 20K min) For more information about all Zarlink products visit our Web Site at www.zarlink.com Information relating to products and services furnished herein by Zarlink Semiconductor Inc. or its subsidiaries (collectively “Zarlink”) is believed to be reliable.
