KAD2708L
Functional Description
Voltage Reference
The KAD2708L is an 8-bit, 350MSPS A/D converter in a
pipelined architecture. The input voltage is captured by a
sample-and-hold circuit and converted to a unit of charge.
Proprietary charge-domain techniques are used to compare
the input to a series of reference charges. These
comparisons determine the digital code for each input value.
The converter pipeline requires 24 sample clocks to produce
a result. Digital error correction is also applied, resulting in a
total latency of 28 clock cycles. This is evident to the user as
a latency between the start of a conversion and the data
being available on the digital outputs.
The VREF pin is the full-scale reference, which sets the
full-scale input voltage for the chip and requires a bypass
capacitor of 0.1µF or larger. An internally generated
reference voltage is provided from a bandgap voltage buffer.
This buffer can sink or source up to 50µA externally.
At start-up, a self-calibration is performed to minimize gain
and offset errors. The reset pin (RST) is initially held low
internally at power-up and remains in that state until
calibration is complete. The clock frequency should remain
fixed during this time.
An external voltage can be applied to this pin to provide a
more accurate reference than the internally generated
bandgap voltage or to match the full-scale reference among
a system of KAD2708L chips. One option in the latter
configuration is to use one KAD2708L's internally generated
reference as the external reference voltage for the other
chips in the system. Additionally, an externally provided
reference can be changed from the nominal value to adjust
the full-scale input voltage within a limited range.
Calibration accuracy is maintained for the sample rate at
which it is performed and therefore should be repeated if the
clock frequency is changed by more than 10%. Recalibration
can be initiated via the RST pin, or power cycling, at any
time.
To select whether the full-scale reference is internally
generated or externally provided, the digital input port,
VREFSEL, should be set appropriately: low for internal, or
high for external. This pin also has an internal 18k pull-up
resistor. To use the internally generated reference,
VREFSEL can be tied directly to AVSS, and to use an
external reference, VREFSEL can be left unconnected.
Reset
Analog Input
Recalibration of the ADC can be initiated at any time by
driving the RST pin low for a minimum of one clock cycle. An
open-drain driver is recommended.
The fully differential ADC input (INP/INN) connects to the
sample-and-hold circuit. The ideal full-scale input voltage is
1.5VP-P, centered at the VCM voltage of 0.86V, as shown in
Figure 22.
The calibration sequence is initiated on the rising edge of
RST, as shown in Figure 21. The over-range output (ORP) is
set high once RST is pulled low, and it remains in that state
until calibration is complete. The ORP output returns to
normal operation at that time, so it is important that the
analog input be within the converter’s full-scale range in
order to observe the transition. If the input is in an
over-range state, the ORP pin stays high, and it is not
possible to detect the end of the calibration cycle.
While RST is low, the output clock (CLKOUTP/CLKOUTN)
stops toggling and is set low. Normal operation of the output
clock resumes at the next input clock edge (CLKP/CLKN)
after RST is deasserted. At 350MSPS, the nominal
calibration time is ~190ms.

Best performance is obtained when the analog inputs are
driven differentially. The common-mode output voltage,
VCM, should be used to properly bias each input, as shown
in Figures 23 and 24. An RF transformer gives the best
noise and distortion performance for wideband and/or high
intermediate frequency (IF) inputs. Two different transformer
input schemes are shown in Figures 23 and 24.

The clock input circuit is a differential pair (Figure 29).
Driving these inputs with a high level (up to 1.8VP-P on each
input) sine or square wave provides the lowest jitter
performance. The recommended drive circuit is shown in
Figure 26. The clock can be driven single-ended, but this
reduces the edge rate and may impact SNR performance.

A back-to-back transformer scheme is used to improve
common-mode rejection, which keeps the common-mode
level of the input matched to VCM. The value of the
termination resistor should be determined based on the
desired impedance.
The sample-and-hold circuit design uses a switched
capacitor input stage, which creates current spikes when the
sampling capacitance is reconnected to the input voltage.
This creates a disturbance at the input, which must settle
before the next sampling point. Lower source impedance
results in faster settling and improved performance;
therefore, a 1:1 transformer and low shunt resistance are
recommended for optimal performance.
A differential amplifier can be used in applications that
require DC coupling, at the expense of reduced dynamic
performance. In this configuration, the amplifier typically
reduces the achievable SNR and distortion performance. A
typical differential amplifier configuration is shown in
Figure 25.

Use of the clock divider is optional. The KAD2708L's ADC
requires a clock with 50% duty cycle for optimum
performance. If such a clock is not available, one option is to
generate twice the desired sampling rate, and then use the
KAD2708L's divide-by-2 to generate a 50%-duty-cycle clock.
This frequency divider uses the rising edge of the clock, so a
50% clock duty cycle is assured. Table 2 describes the
CLKDIV connection.

CLKDIV is internally pulled low, so a pull-up resistor or logic
driver must be connected for undivided clock.
Jitter
In a sampled data system, clock jitter directly impacts the
achievable SNR performance. The theoretical relationship
between clock jitter and maximum SNR is shown in
Equation 1 and illustrated in Figure 27.

This relationship shows the SNR that would be achieved if
clock jitter were the only non-ideal factor. In reality,
achievable SNR is limited by internal factors such as
differential nonlinearity aperture jitter and thermal noise.

Any internal aperture jitter combines with the input clock jitter
in a root-sum-square fashion, since they are not statistically
correlated, and this determines the total jitter in the system.
The total jitter, combined with other noise sources, then
determines the achievable SNR.

Layout Considerations
Split Ground and Power Planes
Data converters operating at high sampling frequencies
require extra care in PC board layout. Many complex board
designs benefit from isolating the analog and digital
sections. Analog supply and ground planes should be laid
out under signal and clock inputs. Locate the digital planes
under outputs and logic pins. Ground planes, if separated,
should be joined at the exposed paddle under the chip.
Clock Input Considerations
Use matched transmission lines to the inputs for the analog
input and clock signals. Locate transformers, drivers and
terminations as close to the chip as possible.
Bypass and Filtering
Aperture Jitter is the RMS variation in aperture delay for a
set of samples.
Clock Duty Cycle is the ratio of the time the clock wave is at
logic high to the total time of one clock period.
Differential Non-Linearity (DNL) is the deviation of any
code width from an ideal 1 LSB step.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) is an alternate method of
specifying Signal to Noise-and-Distortion Ratio (SINAD). In
dB, it is calculated as: ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76)/6.02.
Integral Non-Linearity (INL) is the deviation of each individual
code from a line drawn from negative full-scale (1/2 LSB below
the first code transition) through positive full-scale (1/2 LSB
above the last code transition). The deviation of any given code
from this line is measured from the center of that code.
Bulk capacitors should have low equivalent series resistance.
Tantalum is a good choice. For best performance, keep
ceramic bypass capacitors very close to device pins. Longer
traces increase inductance, resulting in diminished dynamic
performance and accuracy. Make sure that connections to
ground are direct and low impedance.
Least Significant Bit (LSB) is the bit that has the smallest
value or weight in a digital word. Its value in terms of input
voltage is VFS/(2N-1) where N is the resolution in bits.
LVDS Outputs
Most Significant Bit (MSB) is the bit that has the largest
value or weight. Its value in terms of input voltage is VFS/2.
Output traces and connections must be designed for 50
(100 differential) characteristic impedance. Keep traces
direct, and minimize bends where possible. Avoid crossing
ground and power-plane breaks with signal traces.
Unused Inputs
The RST and 2SC inputs are internally pulled up and can be
left open-circuit if not used.
CLKDIV is internally pulled low, which divides the input clock
by two.
VREFSEL is internally pulled up. It must be held low for
internal reference, but it can be left open for external
reference.
Definitions
Analog Input Bandwidth is the analog input frequency at
which the spectral output power at the fundamental
frequency (as determined by FFT analysis) is reduced by
3dB from its full-scale, low-frequency value. This is also
referred to as Full Power Bandwidth.
Aperture Delay or Sampling Delay is the time required
after the rise of the clock input for the sampling switch to
open, at which time the signal is held for conversion.
Missing Codes are output codes that are skipped and never
appear at the ADC output. These codes cannot be reached
with any input value.
Pipeline Delay is the number of clock cycles between the
initiation of a conversion and the appearance at the output
pins of the corresponding data.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) is the ratio of a
change in power supply voltage to the input voltage
necessary to negate the resultant change in output code.
Signal to Noise-and-Distortion (SINAD) is the ratio of the
RMS signal amplitude to the RMS sum of all other spectral
components below one-half the clock frequency, including
harmonics but excluding DC.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) (without Harmonics) is the
ratio of the RMS signal amplitude to the RMS sum of all
other spectral components below one-half the sampling
frequency, excluding harmonics and DC.
Spurious-Free-Dynamic Range (SFDR) is the ratio of the
RMS signal amplitude to the RMS value of the peak spurious
spectral component. The peak spurious spectral component
may or may not be a harmonic.
Two-Tone SFDR is the ratio of the RMS value of either input
tone to the RMS value of the peak spurious component. The
peak spurious component may or may not be an IMD product.
