●
The ADS800 is a low-power, monolithic 12-bit, 40MHz Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter utilizing a small geometry CMOS
process. This complete converter includes a 12-bit quantizer,
wideband track-and-hold, reference, and three-state outputs.
It operates from a single +5V power supply and can be
configured to accept either differential or single-ended input
signals.
LOW POWER: 390mW
INTERNAL REFERENCE
WIDEBAND TRACK-AND-HOLD: 65MHz
SINGLE +5V SUPPLY
APPLICATIONS
The ADS800 employs digital error correction to provide
excellent Nyquist differential linearity performance for demanding imaging applications. Its low distortion, high SNR,
and high oversampling capability give it the extra margin
needed for telecommunications, test instrumentation, and
video applications.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas
Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled
with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
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.
NOTE: (1) Stresses above these ratings may permanently damage the device.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Op Amp
Bias
The ADS800 is a high-speed, sampling A/D converter with
pipelining. It uses a fully differential architecture and digital
error correction to ensure 12-bit resolution. The differential
track-and-hold circuit is shown in Figure 1. The switches are
controlled by an internal clock which has a non-overlapping
2-phase signal, φ1 and φ2. At the sampling time, the input
signal is sampled on the bottom plates of the input capacitors. In the next clock phase, φ2, the bottom plates of the
input capacitors are connected together and the feedback
capacitors are switched to the op amp output. At this time,
the charge redistributes between CI and CH, completing one
track-and-hold cycle. The differential output is a held DC
representation of the analog input at the sample time. The
track-and-hold circuit can also convert a single-ended input
signal into a fully differential signal for the quantizer.

The pipelined quantizer architecture has 11 stages with each
stage containing a 2-bit quantizer and a 2-bit Digital-toAnalog Converter (DAC), as shown in Figure 2. Each 2-bit
quantizer stage converts on the edge of the sub-clock, which
is twice the frequency of the externally applied clock. The
output of each quantizer is fed into its own delay line to time-

align it with the data created from the following quantizer
stages. This aligned data is fed into a digital error correction
circuit which can adjust the output data based on the information found on the redundant bits. This technique gives the
ADS800 excellent differential linearity and ensures no missing codes at the 12-bit level.
Since there are two pipeline stages per external clock cycle,
there is a 6.5 clock cycle data latency from the start convert
signal to the valid output data. The output data is available in
Straight Offset Binary (SOB) or Binary Two’s Complement
(BTC) format.
• For most applications, the clock duty should be set to
50%. However, for applications requiring no missing codes,
a slight skew in the duty cycle will improve DNL performance for conversion rates > 35MHz and input frequencies < 2MHz (see Timing Diagram) in the SO package.
For the best performance in the SSOP package, the clock
should be skewed under all input frequencies with conversion rates > 35MHz. A possible method for skewing the
50% duty cycle source is shown in Figure 4.

DIGITAL OUTPUT DATA
The 12-bit output data is provided at CMOS logic levels. The
standard output coding is Straight Offset Binary (SOB) where
a full-scale input signal corresponds to all “1’s” at the output,
as shown in Table 1. This condition is met with pin 19 “LO”
or Floating due to an internal pull-down resistor. By applying
a logic “HI” voltage to this pin, a Binary Two’s Complement
(BTC) output will be provided where the most significant bit
is inverted. The digital outputs of the ADS800 can be set to
a high-impedance state by driving OE (pin 18) with a logic
“HI”. Normal operation is achieved with pin 18 “LO” or
Floating due to internal pull-down resistors. This function is
provided for testability purposes and is not meant to drive
digital buses directly or be dynamically changed during the
conversion process.

THE ANALOG INPUT AND INTERNAL REFERENCE
The analog input of the ADS800 can be configured in various
ways and driven with different circuits, depending on the
nature of the signal and the level of performance desired.
The ADS800 has an internal reference that sets the full-scale
input range of the A/D converter. The differential input range
has each input centered around the common-mode of +2.25V,
with each of the two inputs having a full-scale range of
+1.25V to +3.25V. Since each input is 2Vp-p and 180° outof-phase with the other, a 4V differential input signal to the
quantizer results. As shown in Figure 3, the positive full-scale

APPLICATIONS
product performance. The input capacitors, CIN, and the input
resistors, RIN, create a high-pass filter with the lower corner
frequency at fC = 1/(2pRINCIN). The corner frequency can be
reduced by either increasing the value of RIN or CIN. If the
circuit operates with a 50Ω or 75Ω impedance level, the
resistors are fixed and only the value of the capacitor can be
increased. Usually, AC-coupling capacitors are electrolytic or
tantalum capacitors with values of 1µF or higher. It should be
noted that these large capacitors become inductive with
increased input frequency, which could lead to signal amplitude errors or oscillation. To maintain a low AC-coupling
impedance throughout the signal band, a small value (e.g.
1µF) ceramic capacitor could be added in parallel with the
polarized capacitor.
DRIVING THE ADS800
The ADS800 has a differential input with a common-mode of
+2.25V. For AC-coupled applications, the simplest way to
create this differential input is to drive the primary winding of
a transformer with a single-ended input. A differential output
is created on the secondary if the center tap is tied to the
common-mode voltage of +2.25V, as per Figure 5. This
transformer-coupled input arrangement provides good highfrequency AC performance. It is important to select a transformer that gives low distortion and does not exhibit core
saturation at full-scale voltage levels. Since the transformer
does not appreciably load the ladder, there is no need to
buffer the Common-Mode (CM) output in this instance. In
general, it is advisable to keep the current draw from the CM
output pin below 0.5µA to avoid nonlinearity in the internal
reference ladder. A FET input operational amplifier such as
the OPA130 can provide a buffered reference for driving
external circuitry. The analog IN and IN inputs should be
bypassed with 22pF capacitors to minimize track-and-hold
glitches and to improve high input frequency performance.
Capacitors CSH1 and CSH2 are used to minimize current
glitches resulting from the switching in the input track-andhold stage and to improve signal-to-noise performance. These
capacitors can also be used to establish a low-pass filter and
effectively reduce the noise bandwidth. In order to create a
real pole, resistors RSER1 and RSER2 were added in series
with each input. The cutoff frequency of the filter is determined by fC = 1/(2pRSER • (CSH + CADC)) where RSER is the
resistor in series with the input, CSH is the external capacitor
from the input to ground, and CADC is the internal input
capacitance of the A/D converter (typically 4pF).
Figure 6 illustrates another possible low-cost interface circuit
which utilizes resistors and capacitors in place of a transformer. Depending on the signal bandwidth, the component
values should be carefully selected in order to maintain the
Resistors R1 and R2 are used to derive the necessary
common-mode voltage from the buffered top and bottom
references. The total load of the resistor string should be
selected so that the current does not exceed 1mA. Although
the circuit in Figure 6 uses two resistors of equal value so
that the common-mode voltage is centered between the top
and bottom reference (+2.25V), it is not necessary to do so.
In all cases the center point, VCM, should be bypassed to
ground in order to provide a low-impedance AC ground.

using two operational amplifiers, one in the noninverting mode
for the input and the other amplifier in the inverting mode for the
complementary input. The low distortion circuit in Figure 7 will
provide the necessary input shifting required for signals centered around ground. It also employs a diode for output level
shifting to ensure a low distortion +3.25V output swing. Other
amplifiers can be used in place of the OPA842s if the lowest
distortion is not necessary. If output level shifting circuits are
not used, care must be taken to select operational amplifiers
that give the necessary performance when swinging to +3.25V
with a ±5V supply operational amplifier.
age, as shown in Figure 8. This configuration will result in
increased even-order harmonics, especially at higher input
frequencies. However, this tradeoff may be quite acceptable
for time-domain applications. The driving amplifier must give
adequate performance with a +0.25V to +4.25V output swing
in this case.
EXTERNAL REFERENCES AND ADJUSTMENT

The internal reference buffers are limited to approximately
1mA of output current. As a result, these internal +1.25V and
+3.25V references may be overridden by external references
that have at least 18mA (at room temperature) of output drive
capability. In this instance, the common-mode voltage will be

The circuit in Figure 10 works completely on a single +5V
supply. As a reference element, it uses the micro-power
reference REF1004-2.5, which is set to a quiescent current
of 0.1mA. Amplifier A2 is configured as a follower to buffer the
+1.25V generated from the resistor divider. To provide the
necessary current drive, a pull-down resistor, RP, is added.
set halfway between the two references. This feature can be
used to adjust the gain error, improve gain drift, or to change
the full-scale input range of the ADS800. Changing the fullscale range to a lower value has the benefit of easing the
swing requirements of external input drive amplifiers. The
external references can vary as long as the value of the
external top reference (REFTEXT) is less than or equal to
+3.4V, the value of the external bottom reference (REFBEXT)
is greater than or equal to +1.1V, and the difference between
the external references are greater than or equal to 1.5V.
Amplifier A1 is configured as an adjustable gain stage, with
a range of approximately 1 to 1.32. The pull-up resistor
again relieves the op amp from providing the full current
drive. The value of the pull-up/down resistors is not critical
and can be varied to optimize power consumption. The
need for pull-up, pull-down resistors depends only on the
drive capability of the selected drive amplifiers and thus can
be omitted.
For the differential configuration, the full-scale input
range will be set to the external reference values that are
selected. For the single-ended mode, the input range is
2 • (REFTEXT – REFBEXT), with the common-mode being
centered at (REFTEXT + REFBEXT)/2. Refer to the typical
characteristics for “Expected Performance vs Full-Scale Input Range”.

PC BOARD LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
A well-designed, clean PC board layout will assure proper
operation and clean spectral response. Proper grounding
and bypassing, short lead lengths, and the use of ground
planes are particularly important for high-frequency circuits.
Multilayer PC boards are recommended for best performance but if carefully designed, a two-sided PC board with
large, heavy ground planes can give excellent results. It is
recommended that the analog and digital ground pins of the
ADS800 be connected directly to the analog ground plane.
In our experience, this gives the most consistent results. The
A/D converter power-supply commons should be tied together at the analog ground plane. Power supplies should
be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitors as close to the
pin as possible.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE DEFINITIONS

The ADS800 is a high performance converter and careful
attention to test techniques is necessary to achieve accurate
results. Highly accurate phase-locked signal sources allow
high resolution FFT measurements to be made without using
data windowing functions. A low jitter signal generator such as

HP8022A pulse generator for the A/D converter clock, gives
excellent results. Low-pass filtering (or bandpass filtering) of
test signals is absolutely necessary to test the low distortion of
the ADS800. Using a signal amplitude slightly lower than fullscale will allow a small amount of “headroom” so that noise or
DC offset voltage will not over-range the A/D converter and
cause clipping on signal peaks.
