Description
adjustable by way of a potentiometer so that the effects of
sample clock duty cycle on the HI5662 may be observed.
The HI5662EVAL2 evaluation board is made available to allow
the circuit designer the ability to evaluate the performance of
the Intersil HI5662 monolithic Dual 8-bit 60 MSPS analog-todigital converter (ADC) with internal voltage reference. As
shown in the Evaluation Board Functional Block Diagram, this
evaluation board includes sample clock generation circuitry, a
single-ended to differential analog input amplifier configuration
for both the I and Q channel inputs, an external variable
voltage reference and digital data output latches/buffers. The
buffered digital data outputs are conveniently provided for
easy interfacing to a ribbon connector or logic probes.
The I and Q channel analog input signals are also connected
through SMA type RF connectors, J1 and J2, and applied to
single-ended to differential analog input amplifiers. These
inputs are AC-coupled and terminated in 50Ω allowing for
connection to most laboratory signal generators. Also,
provisions for differential RC lowpass filters are incorporated
on the output of the differential amplifiers to limit the
broadband noise going into the HI5662 converter.
The I and Q channel digital data output latches/buffers
consist of a pair of 74FCT2821 D-type flip-flops. The digital
data output interface provides both phases of the sampling
clock, CLK and CLK, so that the digital data transitions are
essentially time aligned with the rising edge of the CLK
sampling clock or time aligned with the falling edge of the
CLK sampling clock .
The sample clock generator circuit accepts the external
sampling signal through an SMA type RF connector, J3. This
input is AC-coupled and terminated in 50Ω allowing for
connection to most laboratory signal generators. In addition,
the duty cycle of the clock driving the A/D converter is made

Evaluation Board Layout and Power
Supplies
The HI5662 evaluation board is a four layer board with a
layout optimized for the best performance of the ADC.
Included in the application note are electrical schematics of
the evaluation board, a component parts list, a component
placement layout drawing and reproductions of the various
board layers used in the board stack-up. The user should
feel free to copy the layout in their application. Refer to the
component layout and the evaluation board electrical
schematic for the following discussions.
The HI5662 monolithic A/D converter has been designed
with separate analog and digital supply and ground pins to
keep digital noise out of the analog signal path. The
evaluation board provides separate low impedance analog
and digital ground planes on layer 2. Since the analog and
digital ground planes are connected together at a single
point where the power supplies enter the board, DO NOT tie
them together back at the power supplies.
The analog and digital power planes are also kept separate
on the evaluation board and should be driven by clean linear
regulated supplies. The external power supplies are hooked
up with the twisted pair wires soldered to the plated through
holes marked +5VAIN, +5VAIN1, -5VAIN, +5VDIN,
+5VD1IN, +5VD2IN, AGND and DGND. The +5VDIN,
+5VD1IN and +5VD2IN are digital supplies and are returned
to DGND. The +5VAIN, +5VAIN1 and -5VAIN are the analog
supplies and are returned to AGND. Table 1 lists the
operational supply voltages, typical current consumption and
the evaluation board circuit function being powered. Single
supply operation of the converter is possible but the overall
performance of the converter may degrade.

Sample Clock Driver, Timing and I/O
In order to ensure rated performance of the HI5662, the duty
cycle of the sample clock should be held at 50% ±5%. It must
also have low phase noise and operate at standard TTL levels.
A CMOS inverter (U7) used as a voltage comparator is
provided on the evaluation board to generate the sampling
clock for the HI5662 when a sinewave (< 2VP-P) or
squarewave clock is applied to the CLK input (J3) of the
evaluation board. A potentiometer (VR2) is provided to allow
the user to adjust the duty cycle of the sampling clock to
obtain the best performance from the ADC and to allow the
user to investigate the effects of expected duty cycle
variations on the performance of the converter. The HI5662
clock input trigger level is approximately 1.5V. Therefore, the
duty cycle of the sampling clock should be measured at this
1.5V trigger level. U7-2 provides a convenient point to
monitor the sample clock duty cycle and make any required
adjustments.
Figure 1 shows the sample clock and digital data timing
relationship for the evaluation board. The data
corresponding to a particular sample will be available at the
digital data outputs of the HI5662 after the data latency time,
tLAT, of 6 sample clock cycles plus the HI5662 digital data
output delay, tOD. Table 2 lists the values that can be
expected for the indicated timing delays. Refer to the HI5662
data sheet for additional timing information.
The sample clock and digital output data signals are made
available through two connectors contained on the
evaluation board. The line buffering provided by the data
output latches allows for driving long leads or analyzer
inputs. These data latches are not necessary for the digital
output data if the load presented to the converter does not
exceed the data sheet load limits of 100mA and 15pF. The
P2 I/O connector allows the evaluation board to be
interfaced to the DSP evaluation boards available from
Intersil. Alternatively, the digital output data and sample
clock can also be accessed by clipping the test leads of a
logic analyzer or data acquisition system onto the I/O pins of
connector header P1.

HI5662 Performance Characterization
Dynamic testing is used to evaluate the performance of the
HI5662 A/D converter. Among the tests performed are
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD), Signal-toNoise Ratio (SNR), Total Harmonic Distortion (THD),
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) and Intermodulation
Distortion (IMD).
Application Note 9823
Figure 2 shows the test system used to perform dynamic
testing on high-speed ADCs at Intersil. The clock (CLK) and
analog input (VIN) signals are sourced from low phase noise
HP8662A synthesized signal generators that are phase
locked to each other to ensure coherence. The output of the
signal generator driving the ADC analog input is bandpass
filtered to improve the harmonic distortion of the analog input
signal. The comparator on the evaluation board will convert
the sine wave CLK input signal to a square wave at TTL logic
levels to drive the sample clock input of the HI5662. The
ADC data is captured by a logic analyzer and then
transferred over the GPIB bus to the PC. The PC has the
required software to perform the Fast Fourier Transform
(FFT) and do the data analysis.
Coherent testing is recommended in order to avoid the
inaccuracies of windowing. The sampling frequency and
analog input frequency have the following relationship: FI/FS
= M/N, where FI is the frequency of the input analog
sinusoid, FS is the sampling frequency, N is the number of
samples, and M is the number of cycles over which the
samples are taken. By making M an integer and odd number
(1, 3, 5, ...) the samples are assured of being nonrepetitive.

DESCRIPTION

Appendix D HI5662 A/D Theory of Operation
The HI5662 is a dual 8-bit fully differential sampling pipeline
A/D converter with digital error correction logic. Figure 22
depicts the circuit for the front end differential-in-differentialout sample-and-hold (S/H) amplifiers. The switches are
controlled by an internal sampling clock which is a nonoverlapping two phase signal, Φ1 and Φ2 , derived from the
master sampling clock. During the sampling phase, Φ1 , the
input signal is applied to the sampling capacitors, CS . At the
same time the holding capacitors, CH , are discharged to
analog ground. At the falling edge of Φ1 the input signal is
sampled on the bottom plates of the sampling capacitors. In
the next clock phase, Φ2 , the two bottom plates of the
sampling capacitors are connected together and the holding
capacitors are switched to the op-amp output nodes. The
charge then redistributes between CS and CH completing one
sample-and-hold cycle. The front end sample-and-hold output
is a fully-differential, sampled-data representation of the
analog input. The circuit not only performs the sample-andhold function but will also convert a single-ended input to a
fully-differential output for the converter core. During the
sampling phase, the I/QIN pins see only the on-resistance of a
switch and CS . The relatively small values of these
components result in a typical full power input bandwidth of
250MHz for the converter.

FIGURE 22. ANALOG INPUT SAMPLE-AND-HOLD
As illustrated in the functional block diagram and the timing
diagram in Figures 23 and 24, eight identical pipeline
subconverter stages, each containing a two-bit flash
converter and a two-bit multiplying digital-to-analog
converter, follow the S/H circuit with the ninth stage being a
two bit flash converter. Each converter stage in the pipeline
will be sampling in one phase and amplifying in the other
clock phase. Each individual subconverter clock signal is
offset by 180 degrees from the previous stage clock signal
resulting in alternate stages in the pipeline performing the
same operation.
The output of each of the eight identical two-bit subconverter
stages is a two-bit digital word containing a supplementary bit
to be used by the digital error correction logic. The output of
each subconverter stage is input to a digital delay line which is
controlled by the internal sampling clock. The function of the
3-14
digital delay line is to time align the digital outputs of the eight
identical two-bit subconverter stages with the corresponding
output of the ninth stage flash converter before applying the
eighteen bit result to the digital error correction logic. The
digital error correction logic uses the supplementary bits to
correct any error that may exist before generating the final
eight bit digital data output of the converter.
Because of the pipeline nature of this converter, the digital
data representing an analog input sample is output to the
digital data bus following the 6th cycle of the clock after the
analog sample is taken (see the timing diagram in
Figure 24). This time delay is specified as the data latency.
After the data latency time, the digital data representing
each succeeding analog sample is output during the
following clock cycle. The digital output data is provided in
offset binary format.
Internal Reference Voltage Output, VREFOUT
The HI5662 is equipped with an internal reference voltage
generator, therefore, no external reference voltage is required.
VROUT must be connected to VRIN when using the internal
reference voltage.
An internal band-gap reference voltage followed by an
amplifier/buffer generates the precision +2.5V reference
voltage used by the converter. A band-gap reference circuit
is used to generate a precision +1.25V internal reference
voltage. This voltage is then amplified by a wide-band
uncompensated operational amplifier connected in a
gain-of-two configuration. An external, user-supplied,
0.1µF capacitor connected from the VROUT output pin to
analog ground is used to set the dominant pole and to
maintain the stability of the operational amplifier.
Reference Voltage Input, VREFIN
The HI5662 is designed to accept a +2.5V reference voltage
source at the VRIN input pin. Typical operation of the
converter requires VRIN to be set at +2.5V. The HI5662 is
tested with VRIN connected to VROUT yielding a fully
differential analog input voltage range of ±0.5V.
The user does have the option of supplying an external +2.5V
reference voltage. As a result of the high input impedance
presented at the VRIN input pin, 1.25kΩ typically, the external
reference voltage being used is only required to source 2mA
of reference input current. In the situation where an external
reference voltage will be used an external 0.1µF capacitor
must be connected from the VROUT output pin to analog
ground in order to maintain the stability of the internal
operational amplifier.
In order to minimize overall converter noise it is recommended
that adequate high frequency decoupling be provided at the
reference voltage input pin, VRIN .
