GENERAL DESCRIPTION The SPT7936 is a compact, high-speed, low power 12-bit monolithic analog-to-digital converter, implemented in a 0.5 µm CMOS process. The converter includes sample and hold. The full scale range can be set between ±0.6 V and ±1.2 V using external references. It operates from a single 3.0-3.6 V supply-compatible with modern digital systems. Most converters in this performance range demand at least a +5 V supply. Its low distortion and high dynamic range offers the The SPT7936 has a pipelined architecture - resulting in low input capacitance. Digital error correction of the 11 most significant bits ensures good linearity for input frequencies approaching Nyquist. The device is available in a 44L TQFP package over the commercial temperature range of 0 to +70 °C.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The SPT7936 is a low power, 12-bit, 28 MSPS ADC. It has a pipelined architecture and incorporates digital error correction of the 11 most significant bits. This error correction ensures good linearity performance for input frequencies up to Nyquist. The inputs are fully differential, making the device insensitive to system-level noise. This device can also be used in a single-ended mode. (See analog input section.) With the power dissipation roughly proportional to the sam- TYPICAL INTERFACE CIRCUIT The SPT7936 requires few external components to achieve the stated operation and performance. Figure 2 shows the typical interface requirements when using the SPT7936 in normal circuit operation.

Do not leave any pin unconnected. +3.3 V SPT7936 5 8/1/00 ANALOG INPUT REFERENCES The SPT7936 has a differential input that should have a common mode voltage of +1.5 V. The input voltage range is determined by the reference voltages which may be generated internally or applied externally. The SPT7936 can use either an internal or external voltage reference. When the digital input EXTREF is high, the external reference is used. When EXTREF is low, the internal reference is used. The input of the SPT7936 can be configured in various ways depending on if a single-ended or differential, AC- or DCcoupled input is desired. INTERNAL REFERENCE The internal references are set at +1.0 V and +2.0 V. When the internal reference is used, the full-scale range of the analog input is set at ±1.0 V differential. Do not connect external references when the internal reference is used. The AC coupled input is most conveniently implemented using a transformer with a center tapped secondary winding. The center tap is connected to the VCM pin as shown in figure 2. To obtain low distortion, it is important that the selected transformer does not exhibit core saturation at the full-scale voltage. Excellent results are obtained with the Mini Circuits T1-6T or T1-1T. Proper termination of the input is important for input signal purity. A small capacitor across the inputs attenuates kickback noise from the internal sample and hold. EXTERNAL REFERENCE When external references are used, the voltages applied to the VREF+ and VREF- pins determine the input voltage range which is equal to ±(VREF+ - VREF-). Externally generated reference voltages must be connected to these pins and should be symmetric about the common mode voltage. (See figure 2, Typical Interface Circuit.) Figure 3 illustrates a solution (based on operational amplifiers) that can be used if a a DC coupled single-ended input is desired. The selection criteria of the buffer op-amps is as follows: - Open loop gain >75 dB - Gain bandwidth product >50 MHz - Total harmonic distortion ≤-75 dB - Signal to Noise ratio >75 dB COMMON MODE OUTPUT VOLTAGE REFERENCE CIRCUIT The SPT7936 has an on-board common mode voltage reference circuit (VCM). It is set at +1.5 V and can drive loads of up to 20 µA. This circuit is commonly used to drive the center tap of the RF transformer in fully differential applications. For single-ended applications, this output can be used to provide the level shifting required for the single-to-differential converter conversion circuit. Figure 3 - DC-Coupled Single-Ended-to-Differential Conversion (Power Supplies are Not Shown) R3 _ VCM R3 The best AC performance is achieved when the bias currents are optimized for the selected sample rate. Two digital input pins are provided to control the optimum internal bias currents. Table I shows the settings for Bias 0 and Bias 1 at selected frequencies.

Nominal operation is suggested to be 3.3 volts. All power supply pins should be bypassed as close to the package as possible. The analog and digital grounds should be connected together with a ferrite bead as shown in the typical interface circuit and as close to the ADC as possible. Dissipation Description Ext. Ref. Int.

The input signal is sampled on the high to low transition of the input clock. Output data should be latched on the low to high clock transition as shown in figure 1, the Timing Diagram. The output data is invalid for the first 20 clock cycles after the device is powered up. CLOCK The SPT7936 accepts a +3.3 V CMOS logic level at the CLK input. The duty cycle of the clock should be kept as close to 50% as possible. Because consecutive stages in the ADC are clocked in opposite phase to each other, a non-50% duty cycle reduces the settling time available for every other stage, thus potentially causing a degradation of dynamic performance. OUT OF RANGE OUTPUT (OR) The digital output OR goes to a logic high to indicate that the analog input is out of range. For optimal performance at high input frequencies, the clock should have low jitter and fast edges. The rise/fall times should be kept shorter than 3 ns. Overshoot and undershoot should be avoided. Clock jitter causes the noise floor to rise proportional to the input frequency. Because jitter can be caused by crosstalk on the PC board, it is recommended that the clock trace be kept as short as possible and standard transmission line practices be followed. EVALUATION BOARD The EB7936 Evaluation Board is available to aid designers in demonstrating the full performance capability of the SPT7936. The board includes an on-board clock driver, adjustable voltage references, adjustable bias current circuits, single-todifferential input buffers with adjustable levels, a single-todifferential transformer (1:1), digital output buffers and 3.3/5 V adjustable logic outputs. An application note (AN7936) is also available which describes the operation of the evaluation board and provides an example of the recommended power and ground layout and signal routing. Contact the factory for price and availability. DIGITAL OUTPUTS The digital output data appears in an offset binary code at 3.3 V CMOS logic levels. A negative full scale input results in an all zeros output code (000…0). A positive full scale input results in an all 1’s code (111…1).
