HONEYWELL HMXADC9225

HMXADC9225
Radiation Hardened 12-Bit, 20 MSPS
Monolithic A/D Converter
The HMXADC9225 is a radiation hardened monolithic, single supply, 12-bit, 20
MSPS, analog-to-digital converter with an on-chip, high performance sample-andhold amplifier. The HMXADC9225 uses a multistage differential pipelined
architecture with output error correction logic to provide 12-bit accuracy at 20 MSPS
data rates, and guarantees no missing codes over the full operating temperature
range.
The HMXADC9225 is fabricated on a radiation hardened SOI-IV Silicon On Insulator
(SOI) process with very low power consumption.
The input of the HMXADC9225 allows for easy interfacing to space and military imaging, sensor, and communications
systems. With a truly differential input structure, the user can select a variety of input ranges and offsets including singleended applications. The dynamic performance is excellent.
The sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) is well suited for both multiplexed systems that switch full-scale voltage levels in
successive channels and sampling single-channel inputs at frequencies up to and well beyond the Nyquist rate.
A single clock input is used to control all internal conversion cycles. The digital output data is presented in straight binary
output format.

HMXADC9225
SIGNAL DEFINITION
DRVDD
The Digital Output Power Supply (DRVDD) can operate
at either 5.0V or 3.3V. The DRVDD voltage defines
the interface voltage level for all the digital I/O signals
including Clock input, Output Enable, and all data
output signals.
OUTPUT ENABLE (OE)
This signal controls the electrical state of the digital
output drivers. A high logic level will enable the outputs
and a low logic level will put the output drivers into a
high impedance state.
RBIAS
R-Bias is required to create the internal bias currents.
An external resistor with a value of 5kΩ shall be
connected between pin 17 and ground.
The R-Bias resistor can also be used to change the
power consumption. By changing the resistor value,
the current consumption can be changed. The range of
this feature not yet characterized.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT
The HMXADC9225 requires the user to provide an
external voltage reference as an INPUT to the device.
The device is designed to operate using a 1.0V to 2.0V
external voltage reference. The input range will then be
defined by the VREF.
The full scale signal input = 2 x VREF. Signals outside
this range will be considered “out of range”.
CML (Common Mode Level)
This signal is an analog output at a value of AVDD/2. It
can be used as a reference for biasing external circuits
to a “mid-rail” value. This signal should be decoupled
with a 0.1uF capacitor.

Transient Pulse Ionizing Radiation
The HMXADC9225 will meet any functional or electrical
specification after exposure to a radiation pulse up to
the transient dose rate survivability specification, when
applied under recommended operating conditions. Note
that the current conducted during the pulse by the ADC
inputs, outputs, and power supply may significantly
exceed the normal operating levels. The application
design must accommodate these effects.
Soft Error Rate
The HMXADC9225 is not guaranteed to operate
through an SEU or dose rate event, but it will recover
and continue to meet all specifications over the full
temperature range after an event.
Latchup and Snapback
The HMXADC9225 will not latch up due to any of the
above radiation exposure conditions when applied
under recommended operating conditions. Fabrication
with the SIMOX substrate material provides oxide
isolation between adjacent PMOS and NMOS
transistors and eliminates any potential SCR latchup
structures. Sufficient transistor body tie connections to
the p- and n-channel substrates are made to ensure no
source/drain snapback occurs.

Total Ionizing Radiation Dose
The HMXADC9225 will meet all stated functional and
electrical specifications over the entire operating
temperature range after the specified total ionizing
radiation dose. All electrical and timing performance
parameters will remain within specifications after
rebound at VDD = 5.0 V extrapolated to ten years of
operation. Total dose hardness is assured by wafer
level testing of process monitor transistors using 10
KeV X-ray and Co60 radiation sources. Transistor gate
threshold shift correlations have been made between
10 KeV X-rays applied at a dose rate of 1x105
rad(SiO2)/min at T=25°C and gamma rays (Cobalt 60
source) to ensure that wafer level X-ray testing is
consistent with standard military radiation test
environments.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS
INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY (INL)
INL 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.
DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY
(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
indicate that all 4096 codes, respectively, must be
present over all operating ranges.
ZERO ERROR
The major carry transition should occur for an analog
value 1/2 LSB below VINA = VINB. Zero error is
defined as the deviation of the actual transition from
that point.

GAIN ERROR
The first code transition should occur at an analog
value 1/2 LSB above negative full scale. The last
transition should occur at an analog value 1 1/2 LSB
below the nominal 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.
TEMPERATURE DRIFT
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.
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 sample-and-hold
amplifier (SHA) performance and is measured from the
rising edge of the clock input to when the input signal is
held for conversion.

HMXADC9225
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE AND DISTORTION
(S/N+D, SINAD) 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.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB)
For a sine wave, SINAD can be expressed in terms of
the number of bits. Using the following formula,
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.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO (SNR)
SNR 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, excluding the first six
harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is expressed in
decibels.
N = (SINAD – 1.76)/6.02
it is possible to get a measure of performance
expressed as N, the effective number of bits. Thus,
effective number of bits for a device for sine wave
inputs at a given input frequency can be calculated
directly from its measured SINAD.
TYPICAL DNL (10MSPS)
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The HMXADC9225 is a complete high performance
single-supply 12-bit ADC. The analog input range of the
HMXADC9225 is highly flexible allowing for either
single-ended or differential inputs of varying amplitudes
that can be AC or DC coupled.
It utilizes four-stage pipeline architecture with a
wideband input sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA)
implemented on an SOI CMOS process. Each stage of
the pipeline, excluding the last stage, consists of a lowresolution flash A/D connected to a switched capacitor
DAC and interstage residue amplifier (MDAC). The
residue amplifier amplifies the difference between the
reconstructed DAC output and the flash input for the
next stage in the pipeline. One bit of redundancy is
used in each of the stages to facilitate digital correction
of flash errors. The last stage simply consists of a flash
A/D.
8
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference in dB between the rms
amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious
signal.
TYPICAL INL (10MSPS)
The pipeline architecture allows a greater throughput
rate at the expense of pipeline delay or latency. 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 latency is not
a concern in most applications. The digital output is
latched into an output buffer to drive the output pins.
The HMXADC9225 uses both edges of the clock in its
internal timing circuitry (see Timing Diagram and
specification page for exact timing requirements). The
A/D 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 SHA
is in the sample mode; during the clock high time it is in
hold. System disturbances just prior to the rising edge
of the clock and/or excessive clock jitter may cause the
input SHA to acquire the wrong value, and should be
minimized.
www.honeywell.com/microelectronics
HMXADC9225
ANALOG INPUT OPERATION
Figure 1 shows the equivalent analog input of the
HMXADC9225, which consists of a differential sampleand-hold amplifier (SHA). The differential input
structure of the SHA is highly flexible, allowing the
devices to be easily configured for either a differential
or single-ended input. The dc offset, or common mode
voltage, of the input(s) can be set to accommodate
either single-supply or dual-supply systems. Also, note
that the analog inputs, VINA and VINB, are
interchangeable with the exception that reversing the
inputs to the VINA and VINB pins results in a polarity
inversion.
Clock Input and Considerations
The HMX9225 internal timing uses the two edges of the
clock input to generate a variety of internal timing
signals. The clock input must meet or exceed the
minimum specified pulse width high and low (tCH and
tCL) specifications for the given A/D as defined in the
Switching Specifications at the beginning of the data
sheet to meet the rated performance specifications.
For example, the clock input to the HMX9225 operating
at 20 MSPS may have a duty cycle between 45% to
55% to meet this timing requirement since the minimum
specified tCH and tCL is 23 ns. For low clock rates, the
duty cycle may deviate from this range to the extent
that both tCH and tCL are satisfied.
All high-speed high resolution A/Ds are sensitive to the
quality of the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a
given full-scale input frequency (fIN) due to only
aperture jitter (tA) can be calculated with the following
equation:
VIN A
VIN B

DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Digital Outputs
The HMXADC9225 output data is presented in positive
true straight binary for all input ranges. The table below
indicates the output data formats for various input
ranges regardless of the selected input range. A twos
complement output data format can be created by
inverting the MSB. The outputs can be placed in high
impedance tri-state mode and are controlled by the
Output Enable (OE) signal.

Digital Output Driver Considerations (DRVDD)
The HMX9225 output drivers shall be operated at 5.0
volts or at 3.3 volts. The 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 SINAD
performance. Applications requiring the ADC to drive
large capacitive loads or large fanout may require
additional decoupling capacitors on DRVDD. In extreme
cases, external buffers or latches may be required.
9
In the equation, the rms aperture jitter, tA, represents
the root sum square of all the jitter sources, which
include the clock input, analog input signal, and A/D
aperture
jitter
specification.
Under
sampling
applications are particularly sensitive to jitter.
Clock input should be treated as an analog signal in
cases where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic
range of the HMXADC9225. Power supplies for clock
drivers should be separated from the A/D output driver
supplies to avoid modulating the clock signal with digital
noise. Low jitter crystal controlled oscillators make the
best clock sources. If the clock is generated from
another type of source (by gating, dividing, or other
method), it should be retimed by the original clock at
the last step. The clock input is referred to the analog
supply. Its logic threshold is AVDD/2.
The HMXADC9225 has a clock tolerance of 5% at 20
MHz and should be a 50% duty cycle.
The input circuitry for the CLOCK pin is designed to
accommodate CMOS inputs. The quality of the logic
input, particularly the rising edge, is critical in realizing
the best possible jitter performance of the part: the
faster the rising edge, the better the jitter performance.
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 predominant at higher frequency, large
amplitude inputs, where the input slew rate is greatest.
Most of the power dissipated by the HMX9225 is from
the analog power supplies. However, lower clock
speeds will reduce digital current.

GROUNDING AND DECOUPLING
Analog and Digital Grounding
Proper grounding is essential in any high speed, highresolution system. Multilayer printed circuit boards
(PCBs) are recommended to provide optimal grounding
and power schemes. The use of ground and power
planes offers distinct advantages:
1. The minimization of the loop area encompassed by a
signal and its return path.
2. The minimization of the impedance associated with
ground and power paths.
3. The inherent distributed capacitor formed by the
power plane, PCB insulation and ground plane.
These characteristics result in both a reduction of
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and an overall
improvement in performance.
It is important to design a layout that prevents noise
from coupling onto the input signal. Digital signals
should not be run in parallel with input signal traces and
should be routed away from the input circuitry. While
the HMXADC9225 features separate analog and driver
ground pins, it should be treated as an analog
component. The AVSS and DRVSS pins must be joined
together directly under the HMXADC9225. A solid
ground plane under the A/D is acceptable if the power
and ground return currents are carefully managed.
Alternatively, the ground plane under the A/D may
contain serrations to steer currents in predictable
directions where cross coupling between analog and
digital would otherwise be unavoidable.
Analog and Digital Driver Supply Decoupling
The HMXADC9225 features separate analog and driver
supply and ground pins, helping to minimize digital
corruption of sensitive analog signals.
In general, AVDD, the analog supply, should be
decoupled to AVSS, the analog common, as close to
the chip as physically possible.
10
It is recommended to use 0.1 uF ceramic chip and 10
uF tantalum capacitors for the AVDD and DRVDD
power inputs.
A 0.1 uF ceramic chip capacitor is
adequate on the CML pin.
QUALITY AND RADIATION HARDNESS
ASSURANCE
Honeywell maintains a high level of product integrity
through process control, utilizing statistical process and
six sigma controls. It is part of a “Total Quality
Assurance Program”, the computer based process
performance tracking system and a radiation hardness
assurance strategy.
SCREENING LEVELS
Honeywell offers several levels of device screening to
meet your needs. “Engineering Devices” are available
with limited performance and screening for prototype
development and evaluation testing. Hi-Rel Level B
based and S based devices undergo additional
screening per the requirements of MIL-STD-883.
RELIABILITY
Honeywell understands the stringent reliability
requirements that space and defense systems requires
and has extensive experience in reliability testing on
programs of this nature. Reliability attributes of the SOI
process were characterized by testing specially
designed structures to evaluate failure mechanisms
including hot carriers, electro-migration, and timedependent dielectric breakdown. The results are fed
back to improve the process to ensure the highest
reliability products.
In addition, our products are subjected to dynamic,
accelerated life tests. The packages used are qualified
through MIL-STD-883, TM 5005 Class S. The product
screening flow can be modified to meet the customer’s
specific requirements. Quality conformance testing is
performed as an option on all production lots to ensure
on-going reliability.
