DESCRIPTION
The ADS5500 is a high-performance, 14-bit, 125MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC). To provide a complete
converter solution, it includes a high-bandwidth linear sample-and-hold stage (S&H) and internal reference. Designed
for applications demanding the highest speed and highest dynamic performance in very little space, the ADS5500
has excellent power consumption of 780mW at 3.3V single-supply voltage. This allows an even higher system
integration density. The provided internal reference simplifies system design requirements. Parallel CMOScompatible output ensures seamless interfacing with common logic.
The ADS5500 is available in a 64-pin TQFP PowerPAD package and is specified over the full temperature range of
−40°C to +85°C.

(1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods
may degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions
beyond those specified is not implied.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to
complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could
cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

SBAS303C − DECEMBER 2003 − REVISED MARCH 2004
DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
Analog Bandwidth
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of
the fundamental frequency (as determined by FFT
analysis) is reduced by 3dB.
Aperture Delay
The delay in time between the falling edge of the input
sampling clock and the actual time at which the sampling
occurs.
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter)
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Clock Pulse Width/Duty Cycle
A perfect differential sine wave clock results in a 50% clock
duty cycle on the internal coversion clock. Pulse width high
is the minimum amount of time that the ENCODE pulse
should be left in logic ‘1’ state to achieve rated
performance. Pulse width low is the minimum time that the
ENCODE pulse should be left in a low state (logic ‘0’). At
a given clock rate, these specifications define an
acceptable clock duty cycle.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL is the deviation of the transfer function from a
reference line measured in fractions of 1 LSB using a “best
straight line” or “best fit” determined by a least square
curve fit. INL is independent from effects of offset, gain or
quantization errors.
Maximum Conversion Rate
The encode rate at which parametric testing is performed.
This is the maximum sampling rate where certified
operation is given.
Minimum Conversion Rate
This is the minimum sampling rate where the ADC still
works.
Nyquist Sampling
When the sampled frequencies of the analog input signal
are below fCLOCK/2, it is called Nyquist sampling. The
Nyquist frequency is fCLOCK/2, which can vary depending
on the sample rate (fCLOCK).
Offset Error
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1
LSB apart. DNL is the deviation of any single LSB
transition at the digital output from an ideal 1 LSB step at
the analog input. If a device claims to have no missing
codes, it means that all possible codes (for a 14-bit
converter, 16384 codes) are present over the full operating
range.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
The effective number of bits for a sine wave input at a given
input frequency can be calculated directly from its
measured SINAD using the following formula:
ENOB + SINAD * 1.76
6.02
If SINAD is not known, SNR can be used exceptionally to
calculate ENOB (ENOBSNR).
Effective Resolution Bandwidth
The highest input frequency where the SNR (dB) is
dropped by 3dB for a full-scale input amplitude.
Gain Error
The amount of deviation between the ideal transfer
function and the measured transfer function (with the offset
error removed) when a full-scale analog input voltage is
applied to the ADC, resulting in all 1s in the digital code.
Gain error is usually given in LSB or as a percent of
full-scale range (%FSR).
10
Offset error is the deviation of output code from
mid-code when both inputs are tied to common-mode.
Propagation Delay
This is the delay between the input clock rising edge and
the time when all data bits are within valid logic levels.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD)
The RMS value of the sine wave fIN (input sine wave for an
ADC) to the RMS value of the noise of the converter from
DC to the Nyquist frequency, including harmonic content.
It is typically expressed in decibels (dB). SINAD includes
harmonics, but excludes DC.
SINAD + 20Log (10)
Input(VS )
Noise ) Harmonics
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (without harmonics)
SNR is a measure of signal strength relative to background
noise. The ratio is usually measured in dB. If the incoming
signal strength in µV is VS, and the noise level (also in µV)
is VN, then the SNR in dB is given by the formula:
SNR + 20Log (10)
VS
VN
This is the ratio of the RMS signal amplitude, VS (set 1dB
below full-scale), to the RMS value of the sum of all other
spectral components, VN, excluding harmonics and DC.

Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The ratio of the RMS value of the analog input sine wave
to the RMS value of the peak spur observed in the
frequency domain. It may be reported in dBc (that is, it
degrades as signal levels are lowered), or in dBFS (always
related back to converter full-scale). The peak spurious
component may or may not be a harmonic.
Temperature Drift
Temperature drift (for offset error and gain error) specifies
the maximum change from the initial temperature value to
the value at TMIN or TMAX.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the RMS signal amplitude of the input
sine wave to the RMS value of distortion appearing at
multiples (harmonics) of the input, typically given in dBc.
Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion Rejection
The ratio of the RMS value of either input tone (f1, f2) to the
RMS value of the worst third-order intermodulation
product (2f1 − f2; 2f2 − f1). It is reported in dBc.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
in a data latency of 16.5 clock cycles, after which the
output data is available as a 14-bit parallel word, coded
in either straight offset binary or binary two’s
complement format.
INPUT CONFIGURATION
The analog input for the ADS5500 consists of a
differential sample-and-hold architecture implemented
using a switched capacitor technique, shown in
Figure 4.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS5500 is a low-power, 14-bit, 125MSPS,
CMOS, switched capacitor, pipeline ADC that operates
from a single 3.3V supply. The conversion process is
initiated by a falling edge of the external input clock.
Once the signal is captured by the input S&H, the input
sample is sequentially converted by a series of small
resolution stages, with the outputs combined in a digital
correction logic block. Both the rising and the falling
clock edges are used to propagate the sample through
the pipeline every half clock cycle. This process results

This differential input topology produces a high level of
AC performance for high sampling rates. It also results
in a very high usable input bandwidth, especially
important for high intermediate-frequency (IF) or
undersampling applications. The ADS5500 requires
each of the analog inputs (INP, INM) to be externally
biased around the common-mode level of the internal
circuitry (CM, pin 17). For a full-scale differential input,
each of the differential lines of the input signal (pins 19
and 20) swings symmetrically between CM + 0.575V
and CM – 0.575V. This means that each input is driven
with a signal of up to CM ± 0.575V, so that each input
has a maximum differential signal of 1.15VPP for a total
differential input signal swing of 2.3VPP. The maximum
swing is determined by the two reference voltages, the
top reference (REFP, pin 29), and the bottom reference
(REFM, pin 30).
The ADS5500 obtains optimum performance when the
analog inputs are driven differentially. The circuit shown
in Figure 5 shows one possible configuration using an
RF transformer.

Figure 5. Transformer Input to Convert
Single-Ended Signal to Differential Signal
The single-ended signal is fed to the primary winding of
an RF transformer. Since the input signal must be
biased around the common-mode voltage of the
internal circuitry, the common-mode voltage (VCM) from
the ADS5500 is connected to the center-tap of the
secondary winding. To ensure a steady low-noise VCM
reference, best performance is obtained when the CM
(pin 17) output is filtered to ground with 0.1µF and
0.01µF low-inductance capacitors.
Output VCM (pin 17) is designed to directly drive the
ADC input. When providing a custom CM level, be
aware that the input structure of the ADC sinks a
common-mode current in the order of 4mA (2mA per
input). Equation (1) describes the dependency of the
common-mode current and the sampling frequency:
22
4mA f s
125MSPS
(1)
Where:
fS > 60MSPS.
This equation helps to design the output capability and
impedance of the driving circuit accordingly.
When it is necessary to buffer or apply a gain to the
incoming analog signal, it is possible to combine
single-ended operational amplifiers with an RF
transformer, or to use a differential input/output
amplifier without a transformer, to drive the input of the
ADS5500. TI offers a wide selection of single-ended
operational amplifiers (including the THS3201,
THS3202, OPA847, and OPA695) that can be selected
depending on the application. An RF gain block
amplifier, such as TI’s THS9001, can also be used with
an RF transformer for very high input frequency
applications. The THS4503 is a recommended
differential input/output amplifier. Table 4 lists the
recommended amplifiers.
When using single-ended operational amplifiers (such
as the THS3201, THS3202, OPA847, or OPA695) to
provide gain, a three-amplifier circuit is recommended
with one amplifier driving the primary of an RF
transformer and one amplifier in each of the legs of the
secondary driving the two differential inputs of the
ADS5500. These three amplifier circuits minimize
even-order harmonics. For very high frequency inputs,
an RF gain block amplifier can be used to drive a
transformer primary; in this case, the transformer
secondary connections can drive the input of the
ADS5500 directly, as shown in Figure 5, or with the
addition of the filter circuit shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 illustrates how RIN and CIN can be placed to
isolate the signal source from the switching inputs of the
ADC and to implement a low-pass RC filter to limit the
input noise in the ADC. It is recommended that these
components be included in the ADS5500 circuit layout
when any of the amplifier circuits discussed previously
are used. The components allow fine-tuning of the
circuit performance. Any mismatch between the
differential lines of the ADS5500 input produces a
degradation in performance at high input frequencies,
mainly characterized by an increase in the even-order
harmonics. In this case, special care should be taken to
keep as much electrical symmetry as possible between
both inputs.
Another possible configuration for lower-frequency signals is the use of differential input/output amplifiers that
can simplify the driver circuit for applications requiring
DC coupling of the input. Flexible in their configurations
(see Figure 7), such amplifiers can be used for singleended-to-differential conversion, signal amplification.

POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCE
CLOCK INPUT
The ADS5500 requires a power-up sequence where the
DRVDD supply must be at least 0.4V by the time the
AVDD supply reaches 3.0V. Powering up both supplies
at the same time will work without any problem. If this
sequence is not followed, the device may stay in
power-down mode.
The ADS5500 clock input can be driven with either a
differential clock signal or a single-ended clock input,
with little or no difference in performance between both
configurations. The common-mode voltage of the clock
inputs is set internally to CM (pin 17) using internal 5kΩ
resistors that connect CLKP (pin 10) and CLKM (pin 11)
to CM (pin 17), as shown in Figure 9.
POWER DOWN
The device will enter power-down in one of two ways:
either by reducing the clock speed to between DC and
1MHz, or by setting a bit through the serial
programming interface. Using the reduced clock speed,
the power-down may be initiated for clock frequencies
below 10MHz. For clock frequencies between 1MHz
and 10Mhz, this can vary from device to device, but will
power-down for clock speeds below 1MHz.
The device can be powered down by programming the
internal register (see Serial Programming Interface
section). The outputs become tri-stated and only the
internal reference is powered up to shorten the
power-up time. The Power-Down mode reduces power
dissipation to a minimum of 180mW.

REFERENCE CIRCUIT
The ADS5500 has built-in internal reference
generation, requiring no external circuitry on the printed
circuit board (PCB). For optimum performance, it is best
to connect both REFP and REFM to ground with a 1µF
decoupling capacitor in series with a 1Ω resistor, as
shown in Figure 8. In addition, an external 56.2kΩ
resistor should be connected from IREF (pin 31) to
AGND to set the proper current for the operation of the
ADC, as shown in Figure 8. No capacitor should be
connected between pin 31 and ground; only the 56.2kΩ
resistor should be used.
Figure 9. Clock Inputs
When driven with a single-ended CMOS clock input, it
is best to connect CLKM (pin 11) to ground with a
0.01µF capacitor, while CLKP is AC-coupled with a
0.01µF capacitor to the clock source, as shown in
Figure 10.

For high input frequency sampling, it is recommended
to use a clock source with very low jitter. Additionally,

Bandpass filtering of the source can help produce a

When using a sinusoidal clock, the clock jitter will further
improve as the amplitude is increased. In that sense,
using a differential clock allows for the use of larger
In order to obtain the fastest sampling rates achievable
with the ADS5500, the device uses an internal digital
phase lock loop (DLL). Nevertheless, the limited
frequency range of operation of DLL degrades the
performance at clock frequencies below 60MSPS. In
order to operate the device below 60MSPS, the internal
DLL must be shut off using the DLL OFF mode
described in the Serial Interface Programming section.
The Typical Performance Curves show the
performance obtained in both modes of operation: DLL
ON (default), and DLL OFF. In either of the two modes,
the device will enter power down mode if no clock or
slow clock is provided. The limit of the clock frequency
where the device will function properly is ensured to be
over 10MHz.

OUTPUT INFORMATION
SERIAL PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The ADC provides 14 data outputs (D13 to D0, with D13
being the MSB and D0 the LSB), a data-ready signal
(CLKOUT, pin 43), and an out-of-range indicator (OVR,
pin 64) that equals 1 when the output reaches the
full-scale limits.
The ADS5500 has internal registers for the
programming of some of the modes described in the
previous sections. The registers should be reset after
power-up by applying a 2µs (minimum) high pulse on
RESET (pin 35); this also resets the entire ADC and
sets the data outputs to low. This pin has a 200kΩ
internal pull-up resistor to AVDD. The programming is
done through a three-wire interface. The timing diagram
and serial register setting in the Serial Programing
Interface section describe the programming of this
register.
Two different output formats (straight offset binary or
two’s complement) and two different output clock
polarities (latching output data on rising or falling edge
of the output clock) can be selected by setting DFS
(pin 40) to one of four different voltages. Table 3 details
the four modes. In addition, output enable control (OE,
pin 41, active high) is provided to tri-state the outputs.
The output circuitry of the ADS5500 has being designed
to minimize the noise produced by the transients of the
data switching, and in particular its coupling to the ADC
analog circuitry. Output D4 (pin 51) senses the load
capacitance and adjusts the drive capability of all the
output pins of the ADC to maintain the same output slew
rate described in the timing diagram of Figure 1, as long
as all outputs (including CLKOUT) have a similar load
as the one at D4 (pin 51). This circuit also reduces the
sensitivity of the output timing versus supply voltage or
temperature. External series resistors with the output
are not necessary.
26
Table 2 shows the different modes and the bit values to
be written on the register to enable them.
Note that some of these modes may modify the
standard operation of the device and possibly vary the
performance with respect to the typical data shown in
this data sheet.
