The AD872A uses a multistage differential pipelined architecture with error correction logic to provide 12-bit accuracy at 10 MSPS data rates and guarantees no missing codes over the full operating temperature range. The AD872A is a redesigned version of the AD872 which has been optimized for lower noise. The AD872A is pin compatible with the AD872, allowing the parts to be used interchangeably as system requirements change. The low noise input track-and-hold (T/H) of the AD872A is ideally suited for high-end imaging applications. In addition, the T/H’s high input impedance and fast settling characteristics allow the AD872A to easily interface with multiplexed systems that switch multiple signals through a single A/D converter. The dynamic performance of the T/H also renders the AD872A suitable for sampling single channel inputs at frequencies up to and beyond the Nyquist rate. The AD872A provides both reference output and reference input pins, allowing the onboard reference to serve as a system reference. An external reference can also be chosen to suit the dc accuracy and temperature drift requirements of the application. A single clock input is used to control all internal conversion cycles. The digital output data is presented in twos complement binary output format. An out-ofrange signal indicates an overflow condition, and can be used with the most significant bit to determine low or high overflow.

Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive full scale.” The point used as “negative full scale” occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. “Positive full scale” is defined as a level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of each particular code to the true straight line. DYNAMIC SPECIFICATIONS SIGNAL-TO-NOISE AND DISTORTION (S/N+D) RATIO S/N+D is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for S/N+D is expressed in decibels. DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY ERROR (DNL, NO MISSING CODES) An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Guaranteed no missing codes to 12-bit resolution indicates that all 4096 codes must be present over all operating ranges. TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic components to the rms value of the measured input signal and is expressed as a percentage or in decibels. ZERO ERROR INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) The major carry transition should occur for an analog value 1/2 LSB below analog common. Zero error is defined as the deviation of the actual transition from that point. The zero error and temperature drift specify the initial deviation and maximum change in the zero error over temperature. The first code transition should occur for an analog value 1/2 LSB above nominal negative full scale. The last transition should occur for an analog value 1 1/2 LSB below the nominal positive full scale. Gain error is the deviation of the actual difference between first and last code transitions and the ideal difference between first and last code transitions. With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and fb, any device with nonlinearities will create distortion products, of order (m + n), at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3 . . . . Intermodulation terms are those for which m or n is not equal to zero. For example, the second order terms are (fa + fb) and (fa – fb), and the third order terms are (2 fa + fb), (2 fa – fb), (fa + 2 fb) and (2 fb – fa). The IMD products are expressed as the decibel ratio of the rms sum of the measured input signals to the rms sum of the distortion terms. The two signals are of equal amplitude and the peak value of their sums is –0.5 dB from full scale. The IMD products are normalized to a 0 dB input signal. TEMPERATURE DRIFT FULL-POWER BANDWIDTH The temperature drift for zero error and gain error specifies the maximum change from the initial (+25°C) value to the value at TMIN or TMAX. The full-power bandwidth is that input frequency at which the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by 3 dB for a full-scale input. POWER SUPPLY REJECTION SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE GAIN ERROR The difference, in dB, between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal. The specifications show the maximum change in the converter’s full scale as the supplies are varied from nominal to min/max values. ORDERING GUIDE APERTURE JITTER Aperture jitter is the variation in aperture delay for successive samples and is manifested as noise on the input to the A/D. APERTURE DELAY Aperture delay is a measure of the Track-and-Hold Amplifier (THA) performance and is measured from the rising edge of the clock input to when the input signal is held for conversion.

AD872A Code Probability at a Transition Figure 8. AD872A Output Code Histogram for DC Input –8– REV. A AD872A The AD872A is implemented using a 4-stage pipelined multiple flash architecture. A differential input track-and-hold amplifier (THA) acquires the input and converts the input voltage into a differential current. A 4-bit approximation of the input is made by the first flash converter, and an accurate analog representation of this 4-bit guess is generated by a digital-to-analog converter. This approximation is subtracted from the THA output to produce a remainder, or residue. This residue is then sampled and held by the second THA, and a 4-bit approximation is generated and subtracted by the second stage. Once the second THA goes into hold, the first stage goes back into track to acquire a new input signal. The third stage provides a 3-bit approximation/subtraction operation, and produces the final residue, which is passed to a final 4-bit flash converter. The 15 output bits from the 4 flash converters are accumulated in the correction logic block, which adds the bits together using the appropriate correction algorithm, to produce the 12-bit output word. The digital output, together with overrange indicator, is latched into an output buffer to drive the output pins. The additional THA inserted in each stage of the AD872A architecture allows pipelining of the conversion. In essence, the converter is converting multiple inputs simultaneously, processing them through the converter chain serially. This means that while the converter is capable of capturing a new input sample every clock cycle, it actually takes three clock cycles for the conversion to be fully processed and appear at the output. This “pipeline delay” is often referred to as latency, and is not a concern in most applications, however there are some cases where it may be a consideration. For example, some applications call for the A/D converter to be placed in a high speed feedback loop, where its input is servoed to provide a desired result at the digital output (e.g., offset calibration or zero restoration in video applications). In these cases the three clock cycle delay through the pipeline must be accounted for in the loop stability calculations. Also, because the converter is working on three conversions simultaneously, major disruptions to the part (such as a large glitch on the supplies or reference) may corrupt three data samples. Finally, there will be a minimum clock rate below which the THA droop corrupts the signal in the pipeline. In the case of the AD872A, this minimum clock rate is 10 kHz. The high impedance differential inputs of the AD872A allow a variety of input configurations (see APPLYING THE AD872A), The AD872A converts the voltage difference between the VINA and VINB pins. For single-ended applications, one input pin (VINA or VINB) may be grounded, but even in this case the differential input can provide a performance boost: for example, for an input coming from a coaxial cable, VINB can be tied to the shield ground, allowing the AD872A to reject shield noise as common mode. The high input impedance of the device minimizes external driving requirements and allows the user to externally select the appropriate termination impedance for the application. The AD872A clock circuitry uses both edges of the clock in its internal timing circuitry (see spec page for exact timing requirements). The AD872A samples the analog input on the rising edge of the clock input. During the clock low time (between the falling edge and rising edge of the clock) the input THA is in track mode; during the clock high time it is in hold. System disturbances just prior to the rising edge of the clock may cause the part to acquire the wrong value, and should be minimized. REV. A While the part uses both clock edges for its timing, jitter is only a significant issue for the rising edge of the clock (see CLOCK INPUT section). APPLYING THE AD872A ANALOG INPUTS The AD872A features a high impedance differential input that can readily operate on either single-ended or differential input signals. Table I summarizes the nominal input voltage span for both single-ended and differential modes, assuming a 2.5 V reference input. Table I.

As this model indicates, when the input exceeds 1.6 V (with respect to AGND), the input device may saturate, causing the input impedance to drop substantially and significantly reducing the performance of the part. Input compliance in the negative direction is somewhat larger, showing virtually no degradation in performance for inputs as low as –1.9 V. +5V 1.75mA VINA OR VINB 61V +1.6V 5pF AD872A –1.9V 1.75mA –5V Figure 10.

Figure 17 illustrates the typical acquisition of a full-scale input step. VINA AD872A 2 VINB Figure 14. AD872A Single-Ended Input Connection Using a Shielded Cable 4500 The cable shield is used as a ground connection for the VINB input, providing the best possible rejection of the cable noise from the input signal. Note also that the high input impedance of the AD872A allows the user to select the termination impedance, be it 50 ohms, or some other value. Furthermore, unlike many flash converters, most AD872A applications will not require an external buffer amplifier. If such an amplifier is required, we suggest either the AD811 or AD9617. 3500 Figure 15 illustrates how external amplifiers may be used to convert a single-ended input into a differential signal.

Typical AD872A Settling Time –10– REV. A AD872A The wide input bandwidth and superior dynamic performance of the input THA make the AD872A suitable for undersampling applications where the input frequency exceeds half the sample frequency. The input THA is designed to recover rapidly from input overdrive conditions, returning from a 50% overdrive in less than 40 ns. The AD872A’s reference input impedance is equal to 5 kΩ (± 20%), and its effective noise bandwidth is 10 MHz, with a referred-to-input noise gain of 0.8. For example, the internal reference, with an rms noise of 28 µV (using an external 1 µF capacitor), contributes 24 µV (0.05 LSB) of noise to the transfer function of the AD872A. Because of the THA’s exceptionally wide input bandwidth, some users may find the AD872A is sensitive to noise at frequencies from 10 MHz to 50 MHz that other converters are incapable of responding to. This sensitivity can be mitigated by careful use of the differential inputs (see previous paragraphs). Additionally, Figure 18 shows how a small capacitor (10 pF20 pF for 50 Ω terminated inputs) may be placed between VINA and VINB to help reduce high frequency noise in applications where limiting the input bandwidth is acceptable. The full-scale peak-to-peak input voltage is a function of the reference voltage, according to the equation: 61V 1 (VINA = VINB ) Full Scale = 0.8 × (VREF – REF GND ) Note that the AD872A’s performance was optimized for a 2.5 V reference input: performance may degrade somewhat for other reference voltages. Figure 20 illustrates the S/(N+D) performance vs. reference voltage for a 1 MHz, –0.5 dB input signal. Note also that if the reference is changed during a conversion, all three conversions in the pipeline will be invalidated. VINA 75 AD872A 10 OR 20pF 70 VINB S/(N+D) – dB 2 Figure 18. Optional High Frequency Noise Reduction The AD872A will contribute its own wideband thermal noise. As a result of the integrated wideband noise (0.26 LSB rms, referred-to-input), applying a dc analog input may produce more than one code at the output. A histogram of the ADC output codes, for a dc input voltage, will be between one and three codes wide, depending on how well the input is centered on a given code and how many samples are taken. Figure 8 shows a typical AD872A code histogram, and Figure 9 illustrates the AD872A’s transition noise. 50 1.5 1.9 2.1 2.3 2.5 2.7 2.9 3.1 3.3 3.5 Figure 20.

This should lower the current in REF GND to less than 350 µA and eliminate the need for a 1 µF capacitor, although decoupling the reference for noise reduction purposes is recommended. 2 AVSS Figure 19. Equivalent Reference Input Circuit However, in order to realize the lowest noise performance of the AD872A, care should be taken to minimize noise at the reference input. REV. A 1.7 REFERENCE INPUT VOLTAGE – V The nominal reference input should be 2.5 V, taken with respect to REFERENCE GROUND (REF GND). Figure 19 illustrates the equivalent model for the reference input: there is no clock or signal-dependent activity associated with the reference input circuitry, therefore, no “kickback” into the reference. REF GND 60 55 REFERENCE INPUT REF IN 65 Alternatively, Figure 21 shows how the AD872A may be driven from other references by use of an external resistor. The external resistor forms a resistor divider with the on-chip 5 kΩ resistor to realize 2.5 V at the reference input pin (REF IN). A trim potentiometer is needed to accommodate the tolerance of the AD872A’s 5 kΩ resistor. –11– AD872A 2.55 2.54 2.5V R +5V REF 2kV AD872A REFERENCE VOLTAGE – Volts RT REF IN 3.9kV 5kV REF GND Figure 21.

When the internal reference is operating, it will draw approximately 500 µA of current through the reference ground, so a low impedance path to the external common is desirable. The AD872A can tolerate a fairly large difference between REF GND and AGND, up to +1 V, without any performance degradation. –35 –15 5 25 45 65 85 105 125 TEMPERATURE – 8C Figure 23.

The output stage of the reference was designed to allow the use of an external capacitor to limit the wideband noise. As Figure 22 illustrates, a 1 µF capacitor on the reference output is required for stability of the reference output buffer.

The power supply rejection of the reference is better than –54 dB at dc. Users requiring offset binary encoding may simply invert the MSB pin. In the 44-terminal surface mount packages, both MSB and MSB bits are provided. Figure 22. Typical Reference Decoupling Connection 1 0 0 0 1 The AD872A features a digital out-of-range (OTR) bit that goes high when the input exceeds positive full scale or falls below negative full scale. As Table III indicates, the output bits will be set appropriately according to whether it is an out-of-range high –12– REV. A AD872A condition or an out-of-range low condition. Note that if the input is driven beyond +1.5 V, the digital outputs may not stay at +FS, but may actually fold back to midscale. In this case, a 20 MHz clock is divided by 2 to produce the 10 MHz clock input for the AD872A. In this configuration, the duty cycle of the 20 MHz clock is irrelevant. The AD872A’s CMOS digital output drivers are sized to provide sufficient output current to drive a wide variety of logic families. However, large drive currents tend to cause glitches on the supplies and may affect S/(N+D) performance. Applications requiring the AD872A to drive large capacitive loads or large fanout may require additional decoupling capacitors on DRVDD and DVDD. In extreme cases, external buffers or latches could be used. The input circuitry for the CLKIN pin is designed to accommodate both TTL and CMOS inputs. The quality of the logic input, particularly the rising edge, is critical in realizing the best possible jitter performance for the part: the faster the rising edge, the better the jitter performance. THREE-STATE OUTPUTS The 44-terminal surface mount AD872A offers three-state outputs. The digital outputs can be placed into a three-state mode by pulling the OUTPUT ENABLE (OEN) pin LOW. Note that this function is not intended to be used to pull the AD872A on and off a bus at 10 MHz. Rather, it is intended to allow the ADC to be pulled off the bus for evaluation or test modes. Also, to avoid corruption of the sampled analog signal during conversion (3 clock cycles), it is highly recommended that the AD872A be placed on the bus prior to the first sampling. As a result, careful selection of the logic family for the clock driver, as well as the fanout and capacitive load on the clock line, is important. Jitter-induced errors become more pronounced at higher frequency, large amplitude inputs, where the input slew rate is greatest. The AD872A is designed to support a sampling rate of 10 MSPS; running at slightly faster clock rates may be possible, although at reduced performance levels. Conversely, some slight performance improvements might be realized by clocking the AD872A at slower clock rates.

Three-State Output Timing Diagram For timing budgetary purposes, the typical access and float delay times for the AD872A are 50 ns. 55 CLOCK INPUT 50 The AD872A internal timing control uses the two edges of the clock input to generate a variety of internal timing signals. The optimal clock input should have a 50% duty cycle; however, sensitivity to duty cycle is significantly reduced for clock rates of less than 10 megasamples per second. +5V D R 0 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 Figure 27. Typical S/(N+D) vs. Clock Frequency, fIN = 1 MHz, Full-Scale Input The power dissipated by the correction logic and output buffers is largely proportional to the clock frequency; running at reduced clock rates provides a slight reduction in power consumption.

Typical Power Dissipation vs. Clock Frequency REV. A –13– AD872A ANALOG SUPPLIES AND GROUNDS DIGITAL SUPPLIES AND GROUNDS The AD872A features separate analog and digital supply and ground pins, helping to minimize digital corruption of sensitive analog signals. In general, AVSS and AVDD, the analog supplies, should be decoupled to AGND, the analog common, as close to the chip as physically possible. Care has been taken to minimize the signal dependence of the power supply currents; however, the analog supply currents will be proportional to the reference input. With REFIN at 2.5 V, the typical current into AVDD is 85 mA, while the typical current out of AVSS is 115 mA. Typically, 30 mA will flow into the AGND pin. AVSS The digital activity on the AD872A chip falls into two general categories: CMOS correction logic, and CMOS output drivers. The internal correction logic draws relatively small surges of current, mainly during the clock transitions; in the 44-terminal package, these currents flow through pins DGND and DVDD. The output drivers draw large current impulses while the output bits are changing. The size and duration of these currents are a function of the load on the output bits: large capacitive loads are to be avoided. In the 44-terminal package, the output drivers are supplied through dedicated pins DRGND and DRVDD. Pin count constraints in the 28-lead packages require that the digital and driver supplies share package pins (although they have separate bond wires and on-chip routing). The decoupling shown in Figure 34 is appropriate for a reasonable capacitive load on the digital outputs (typically 20 pF on each pin). Applications involving greater digital loads should consider increasing the digital decoupling proportionately, and/or using external buffers/ latches. AVDD APPLICATIONS OPTIONAL ZERO AND GAIN TRIM Careful design and the use of differential circuitry provide the AD872A with excellent rejection of power supply noise over a wide range of frequencies, as illustrated in Figure 29. –75 SUPPLY REJECTION – dB –80 –85 The AD872A is factory trimmed to minimize zero error, gain error and linearity errors. In some applications the zero and gain errors of the AD872A need to be externally adjusted to zero. If required, both zero error and gain error can be trimmed with external potentiometers as shown in Figure 31. Note that gain error adjustments must be made with an external reference. –90 DVDD –95 –100 104 105 106 FREQUENCY – Hz Zero trim should be adjusted first. Connect VINA to ground and adjust the 10 kΩ potentiometer such that a nominal digital output code of 0000 0000 0000 (twos complement output) exists. Note that the zero trim should be decoupled and that the accuracy of the ± 2.5 V reference signals will directly affect the offset. 107 Figure 29. Power Supply Rejection vs. Frequency, 100 mV p-p Signal on Power Supplies Figure 30 shows the degradation in SNR resulting from 100 mV of power supply ripple at various frequencies. As Figure 30 shows, careful decoupling is required to realize the specified dynamic performance. Figure 34 demonstrates the recommended decoupling strategy for the supply pins. Note that in extremely noisy environments, a more elaborate supply filtering scheme may be necessary. Gain error may then be calibrated by adjusting the REF IN voltage. The REF IN voltage should be adjusted such that a +1 V input on VINA results in the digital output code 01111 1111 1111 (twos complement output).

SNR vs. Supply Noise Frequency (fIN = 1 MHz) 107 The AD872A provides differential inputs that may be used to correct any offset voltages on the analog input. For applications where the input signal contains a dc offset, it may be advantageous to apply a nulling voltage to the VINB input. Applying a voltage equal to the dc offset will maximize the full-scale input range and therefore the dynamic range. Offsets ranging from –0.7 V to +0.5 V can be corrected. –14– REV. A AD872A Figure 32 shows how a dc offset can be applied using the AD568 12-bit, high speed digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This circuit can be used for applications requiring offset adjustments on every clock cycle. The AD568 connection scheme is used to provide a –0.512 V to +0.512 V output range. The offset voltage must be stable on the rising edge of the AD872A clock input. VIN 1 In order to maximize the spurious free dynamic range of the circuit in Figure 33 it is advantageous to present a small signal to the input of the AD9100 and then amplify the output to the AD872A’s full-scale input range. This can be accomplished with a low distortion, wide bandwidth amplifier such as the AD9617. The circuit uses a gain of 3.5 to optimize S/(N+D). For small scale input signals (–20 dB, –40 dB), the AD872A performs better without the track-and-hold because slewlimiting effects are no longer dominant. To gain the advantages of the added track-and-hold, it is important to give the AD872A a full-scale input. VINA AD872A 8 DIGITAL OFFSET WORD 4 74 HC 574 AD568 8 74 HC 574 2 IBPO IOUT RL ACOM LCOM REF COM 4 An alternative to the configuration presented above is to use the AD9101 track-and-hold amplifier. The AD9101 provides a built-in post amplifier with a gain of 4, providing excellent ac characteristics in conjunction with a high level of integration. VINB As illustrated in Figure 33, it is necessary to skew the AD872A sample clock and the AD9100 sample/hold control. Clock skew (tS) is defined as the time starting at the AD9100’s transition into hold mode and ending at the moment the AD872A samples. The AD872A samples on the rising edge of the sample clock, and the AD9100 samples on the falling edge of the sample/hold control. The choice of tS is primarily determined by the settling time of the AD9100. The droop rate of the AD9100 must also be taken into consideration. Using these values, the ideal tS is 17 ns. When choosing clock sources, it is extremely important that the front end track-and-hold sample/hold control is given a very low jitter clock source. This is not as crucial for the AD872A sample clock, because it is sampling a dc signal. Figure 32. Offset Correction Using the AD568 UNDERSAMPLING USING THE AD872A AND AD9100 The AD872A’s on-chip THA optimizes transient response while maintaining low noise performance. For super-Nyquist (undersampling) applications it may be necessary to use an external THA with fast track-mode slew rate and hold mode settling time. An excellent choice for this application is the AD9100, an ultrahigh speed track-and-hold amplifier. +VS +5V 10mF VI N +VS –V S CLOCK 2 IN 3.3mF 14 4 0.1mF 16 RT 20 AD9100 0.1mF 442 1 CLOCK 1 IN RT 9 5 7 AD 96685 4 8 7 19 Q 2 18 127 Q 8* AD 9617 3 2 4 3 510 –VS –VS 8 6 10 15 0.1mF 3.3mF –5V 13 1 12 5 11 7 ALL CAPACITORS ARE 0.01mF (LOW INDUCTANCE - DECOUPLING) UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. * OPTIONAL, SEE AD9617 DATASHEET 10mF –VS T = 200ns +5V CLOCK 2 0V t S = 17ns tS T = 200ns +1V CLOCK 1 –1V Figure 33.
