The TSA0801 is an 8-bit, 40MHz sampling frequency Analog to Digital converter using a deep
submicron CMOS technology combining high performances and very low power consumption.
The TSA0801 is based on a pipeline structure and
digital error correction to provide excellent static
linearity and go beyond 7.9 effective bits at
Fs=40Msps, and Fin=10MHz.
A voltage reference is integrated in the circuit to
simplify the design and minimize external components. It is nevertheless possible to use the circuit
with an external reference.
Differential or single-ended analog inputs can be
applied to the converter. A tri-state capability is
available on the outputs. The output data can be
coded into two different formats. A Data Ready
signal is raised as the data is valid on the output
and can be used for synchronization purposes.
The TSA0801 is available in commercial (0 to
+70°C) and extended (-40 to +85°C) temperature
range, in a small 48 pins TQFP package.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFIED PARAMETERS
STATIC PARAMETERS
Static measurements are performed through
method of histograms on a 2MHz input signal,
sampled at 40Msps, which is high enough to fully
characterize the test frequency response. The
input level is +1dBFS to saturate the signal.
Differential Non Linearity (DNL)
The average deviation of any output code width
from the ideal code width of 1LSB.
Integral Non linearity (INL)
An ideal converter presents a transfer function as
being the straight line from the starting code to the
ending code. The INL is the deviation for each
transition from this ideal curve.
DYNAMIC PARAMETERS
Dynamic measurements are performed by
spectral analysis, applied to an input sinewave of
various frequencies and sampled at 40Msps.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The ratio between the amplitude of fundamental
tone (signal power) and the power of the worst
spurious signal (not always an harmonic) over the
full Nyquist band. It is expressed in dBc.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
distortion components to the rms value of the
fundamental line. It is expressed in dB.
8/20
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
The ratio of the rms value of the fundamental
component to the rms sum of all other spectral
components in the Nyquist band (fs/2) excluding
DC, fundamental and the first five harmonics.
SNR is reported in dB.
Signal to Noise and Distorsion Ratio (SINAD)
Similar ratio as for SNR but including the harmonic
distortion components in the noise figure (not DC
signal). It is expressed in dB.
From the SINAD, the Effective Number of Bits
(ENOB) can easily be deduced using the formula:
SINAD= 6.02 × ENOB + 1.76 dB.
When the applied signal is not Full Scale (FS), but
has an A0 amplitude, the SINAD expression
becomes:
SINAD= 6.02 × ENOB + 1.76 dB + 20 log (2A0/FS)
The ENOB is expressed in bits.
Analog Input Bandwidth
The maximum analog input frequency at which the
spectral response of a full power signal is reduced
by 3dB. Higher values can be achieved with
smaller input levels.
Effective Resolution Bandwidth (ERB)
The band of input signal frequencies that the ADC
is intended to convert without loosing linearity i.e.
the maximum analog input frequency at which the
SINAD is decreased by 3dB or the ENOB by 1/2
bit.
Pipeline delay
Delay between time when the analog input is
initially sampled and time when the corresponding
digital data output is valid on the output bus. Also
called data latency. It is expressed as a number of
clock cycles.

TSA0801 APPLICATION NOTE
DETAILED INFORMATION
stage. The corrected data are outputted through
the digital buffers.
Signal input is sampled on the rising edge of the
clock while digital outputs are delivered on the falling edge of the Data Ready signal.
The advantages of such a converter reside in the
combination of pipeline architecture and the most
advanced technologies. The highest dynamic performances are achieved while consumption remains at the lowest level.
Some functionalities have been added in order to
simplify as much as possible the application
board. These operational modes are described in
the following table.
The TSA0801 is pin to pin compatible with the
10bits/25Msps TSA1001, the 10bits/50Msps
TSA1002 and the 12bits/50Msps TSA1201. This
ensures a conformity within the product family and
above all, an easy upgrade of the application.
The TSA0801 is a High Speed analog to digital
converter based on a pipeline architecture and the
latest deep submicron CMOS process to achieve
the best performances in terms of linearity and
power consumption.
The pipeline structure consists of 9 internal conversion stages in which the analog signal is fed
and sequentially converted into digital data.
Each 8 first stages consists of an Analog to Digital
converter, a Digital to Analog converter, a Sample
and Hold and a gain of 2 amplifier. A 1.5bit conversion resolution is achieved in each stage. The latest stage simply is a comparator. Each resulting
LSB-MSB couple is then time shifted to recover
from the conversion delay. Digital data correction
completes the processing by recovering from the
redundancy of the (LSB-MSB) couple for each

Data Format Select (DFSB)
When set to low level (VIL), the digital input DFSB
provides a two’s complement digital output MSB.
This can be of interest when performing some further signal processing.
When set to high level (VIH), DFSB provides a
standard binary output coding.
Output Enable (OEB)
When set to low level (VIL), all digital outputs
remain active and are in low impedance state.
When set to high level (VIH), all digital outputs
buffers are in high impedance state. This results in
lower consumption while the converter goes on
sampling.
14/20
When OEB is set to low level again, the data is
then valid on the output with a very short Ton
delay.
The timing diagram summarizes this operating
cycle.
Out of Range (OR)
This function is implemented on the output stage
in order to set up an ”Out of Range” flag whenever
the digital data is over the full scale range.
Typically, there is a detection of all the data being
at ’0’ or all the data being at ’1’. This ends up with
an output signal OR which is in low level state
(VOL) when the data stay within the range, or in
high level state (VOH) when the data are out of the
range.
TSA0801
Data Ready (DR)
The Data Ready output is an image of the clock
being synchronized on the output data (D0 to D9).
This is a very helpful signal that simplifies the synchronization of the measurement equipment or
the controlling DSP.
As digital output, DR goes in high impedance state
when OEB is asserted to High level as described
in the timing diagram.
amplitude, or it must be increased to 0.9V to
support a 2Vpp input amplitude. Performances
are better when using a 2Vpp signal.

Differential inputs
The TSA0801 has been designed to obtain optimum performances when being differentially driven. An RF transformer is a good way to achieve
such performances.
Figure 5 describes the schematics. The input signal is fed to the primary of the transformer, while
the secondary drives both ADC inputs. The common mode voltage of the ADC (INCM) is connected to the center-tap of the secondary of the transformer in order to bias the input signal around this
common voltage, internally set to 0.56V. The
INCM is decoupled to maintain a low noise level
on this node. Our evaluation board is mounted
with a 1:1 ADT1-1 transformer from Minicircuits.
You might also use a higher impedance ratio (1:2
or 1:4) to reduce the driving requirement on the
analog signal source.
Each analog input can drive a 1Vpp amplitude input signal, so the resultant differential amplitude is
2Vpp.

Internal reference
In the standard configuration, the ADC is biased
with the internal reference voltage. VREFM pin is
connected to Analog Ground while VREFP is internally set to a voltage of 1.03V. It is recommended to decouple the VREFP in order to minimize
low and high frequency noise. Refer to Figure 7 for
the schematics.

Single-ended input configuration
Some applications may require a single-ended
input which is easily achieved with the
configuration reported on Figure 6.
In this case, it is recommended to use an
AC-coupled analog input and connect the other
analog input to the common mode voltage of the
circuit (INCM) so as to properly bias the ADC. The
INCM may remain at the same internal level
(0.56V) thus supporting only a 1Vpp of input
15/20
External reference
It is possible to use an external reference voltage
instead of the internal one for specific applications
requiring even better linearity or enhanced
tem0801perature behavior. In this case, the
amplitude of the external voltage must be at least
equal to the internal one (1.03V). Using the
STMicroelectronics Vref TS821 leads to optimum
TSA0801
performances when configured as shown on
Figure 8.

The TSA0801 will combine highest performances
and lowest consumption at 40Msps when Rpol is
equal to 18kΩ.
At lower sampling frequency range (< 10Msps),
this value of resistor may be adjusted in order to
decrease the analog current without any
degradation of dynamic performances.
As an example, 10mW total power consumption is
achieved at 5 Msps with Rpol equel to 390kΩ.
The table below sums up the relevant data.

Rpol (kΩ)
Optimized
power (mW)
At 15Msps sampling frequency, 1MHz input frequency and -1dBFS amplitude signal, performances can be improved of up to 2dBc on SFDR
and 0.3dB on SINAD. At 40Msps sampling frequency, 1MHz input frequency and -1dBFS amplitude signal, performances can be improved of up
to 1dBc on SFDR and 0.6dB on SINAD.
This can be very helpful for example for multichannel application to keep a good matching among
the sampling frequency range.
Clock input
The quality of your converter is very dependant on
your clock input accuracy, in terms of aperture jitter; the use of low jitter crystal controlled oscillator
is recommended.
The duty cycle must be between 45% and 55%.
The clock power supplies must be separated from
the ADC output ones to avoid digital noise modulation at the output.
It is recommended to always keep the circuit
clocked, even at the lowest specified sampling
frequency of 0.5Msps, before applying the supply
voltages.
Power consumption optimization
The internal architecture of the TSA0801 enables
to optimize the power consumption according to
the sampling frequency of the application. For this
purpose, a resistor is placed between IPOL and
the analog Ground pins.

Layout precautions
To use the ADC circuits in the best manner at high
frequencies, some precautions have to be taken
for power supplies:
- First of all, the implementation of 4 separate
proper supplies and ground planes (analog, digital, internal and external buffer ones) on the PCB
is mandatory for high speed circuit applications to
provide low inductance and low resistance common return.
The separation of the analog signal from the digital part is essential to prevent noise from coupling
onto the input signal.
- Power supply bypass capacitors must be placed
as close as possible to the IC pins in order to
improve high frequency bypassing and reduce
harmonic distortion. - Proper termination of all
inputs and outputs must be incorporated with
output termination resistors; then the amplifier
load will be only resistive and the stability of the
amplifier will be improved. All leads must be wide
and as short as possible especially for the analog
input in order to decrease parasitic capacitance
and inductance.
- To keep the capacitive loading as low as
possible at digital outputs, short lead lengths of
routing are essential to minimize currents when
the output changes. To minimize this output
capacitance, buffers or latches close to the output
pins will relax this constraint.
- Choose component sizes as small as possible
(SMD).

EVAL0801 evaluation board
The characterization of the board has been made
with a fully ADC devoted test bench as shown on
Figure 10. The analog signal must be filtered to be
very pure.
The dataready signal is the acquisition clock of the
logic analyzer.
The ADC digital outputs are latched by the octal
buffers 74LCX573.
All characterization measurements have been
made with:
SFSR=+0.2dB
for
