ML6401*
8-Bit 20 MSPS A/D Converter
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ML6401 is a single-chip 8-bit 20 MSPS BiCMOS Video
A/D Converter IC, incorporating a differential input track
and hold, clock generation circuitry, and reference voltage.
■ 5.0V ±10% single supply operation
The input track and hold consists of a low (4pF)
capacitance input and a fast settling operational amplifier.
The A/D conversion is accomplished through a pipeline
approach, reducing the number of required comparators
and latches. The non-over-lapping clocks required for this
architecture are all internally generated. Clock generation
circuitry requires only one 50% duty cycle clock input.
The use of error correction throughout the A/D converter
improves DNL. All bias voltages and currents required by
the A/D converter are internally generated. The digital
outputs are three-stateable.
■ Power dissipation less than 200mW typical
■ Internal reference voltage
■ Replaces TMC1175MC20 and AD775JR,
functionally compatible to Sony CXD1175AM/AP
■ 16-pin reduced pin count packages
available: ML6401CS-3
■ Low input capacitance track and hold: 4pF
■ Onboard non-overlapping clock generation to
minimize external components
■ Three-state outputs and no missing codes
■ 150MHz input track and hold

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
A/D CONVERTER
The Micro Linear ML6401 is a single-chip video A/D
converter IC which is intended for analog to digital
conversion of 2Vp-p signals at rates up to 20MSPS.
Incorporating both bias and clock generation, it forms a
complete solution for data conversion. The operating
power dissipation is typically less than 200mW. The IC is
designed to offer low power dissipation and a high level
of integration resulting in an optimized solution. The IC
consists of an input track and hold, a three stage pipelined
A/D converter, digital error correction circuitry, internal
dual non-overlapping clock generator, and internal
voltage reference.
The A/D conversion is performed via a three stage
pipelined architecture. The first two stages quantize their
input signal to three bits, then subtract the result from the
input and amplify the difference by a factor of four. This
creates a residue signal which spans the full scale range of
the following converter. The subtraction and amplification
is performed via a differential capacitor feedback
amplifier, similar to the input track and hold. The third
stage quantizes the signal to four bits. One bit from each
of the last two stages is used for error correction.
INPUT TRACK AND HOLD
The input track and hold consists of a differential
capacitor feedback amplifier. The input capacitance,
including pin protection and transmission gate, is 4pF.
The input to the track and hold can be driven differentially,
or single-ended. Single-ended operation uses an internal
or external reference to bias the negative input. The full
scale range can be set externally, or supplied from an
internal source. The track and hold samples the input
signal during the positive half cycle of the input clock,
and holds the last value of VIN during the negative half
cycle of the input clock. The settling time of the amplifier
is less than 20ns.
The first stage A/D performs the conversion at the end of
the track and hold period, approximately one-half cycle
after the input was sampled. The second stage A/D
performs the conversion one half cycle later, after the
subtraction/amplification of the first stage has settled. The
third stage A/D performs the conversion after another onehalf cycle delay, when the second stage has settled. Error
correction is then performed, and, one clock cycle later,
data is transferred to the output latch. This permits the
data to be read 3 clocks after the sample was taken.
This technique results in lower input capacitance, lower
harmonic distortion, and higher signal to noise ratios than
the classical two step parallel technique, providing a
greater number of effective bits.
CLOCK GENERATION
The ML6401 typically requires an input clock that if
running at 20MHz would have a low time of 25ns, and a
high time of 25ns. This input is applied to a clock
generation circuit which creates the two non-overlapping
clock signals required by the feedback amplifiers.

Pipeline delay is the number of clock cycles between
conversion initiation and the associated output data being
made available. New output data is provided every clock

INPUT COUPLING
The following two figures illustrate two simple means
of connecting AC and DC coupled signals into the
ML6401-1.
internally generated VREFOUT (1 volt) is brought to pin 16
(VRTS of 1175), and an internally generated VIN-BIAS (1.5
volts) is brought to pin 22 (VRBS of 1175). This allows the
following four modes of operation:
CXD1175 REPLACEMENT
1. CXD1175 — See Figure 3. Connect VRTS to VRT and
VRBS to VRB. The ladder will have 2 volts across it
(equal to the full scale range), which varies with supply.
The 24-pin ML6401-1 is pin compatible with the Sony
CXD1175 since all features common to both A/D’s share
common pins. The 24-pin ML6401-1 is not, however, a
direct replacement for the CXD1175. The architectural
differences between the two parts result in slightly
different application circuits only in the area of the
reference pins.
The 1175 brings the top and bottom of the reference
ladder to external pins (denoted VRT and VRB
respectively), and provides two additional pins (VRTS and
VRBS) which can be used to bias the ladder. There are
three major differences in the use of the 24-pin ML64011. First, there is no single resistor ladder which can be
brought out to users in order to vary gain and offset.
Second, the 24-pin ML6401 cannot handle full scale
ranges of VDDA volts. And third, where the 1175
architecture has two voltages (VRT and VRB) which fix the
two endpoints of the conversion range (code 255 and
code 0), the 24-pin ML6401 has one voltage (VREF) which
affects only full scale range (code 255 – code 0) and one
voltage (VIN–) which affects only bias (code 128). An
ML6401 — With pin 16 connected to pin 17, and pin
22 connected to pin 23, the A/D will supply internally
generated bandgap biases, making full scale range 2
volts and bias (code 128) 1.5 volts. This is a virtual
drop in for an 1175 with pins 16 and 17 shorted, and
pins 22 and 23 shorted (0.1 volt bias difference).
2. CXD1175 — See Figure 4. Leave VRTS and VRBS open,
and drive VRT and VRB with external voltages. The
1175 spec allows VRT-VRB to equal from 1.8 volts to
VDDA volts. This allows users the flexibility to supply
higher quality references (higher precision, lower
noise), and change the full scale range of the A/D (these
voltages can be varied to effectively implement a VGA).
Also, the offset of the A/D can be varied.
ML6401 — Leave pin 16 and pin 22 open, and drive
pin 17 and pin 23 with external voltages. The full scale
range will be 2 × pin 17 volts, and the bias (code 128)
will occur at pin 23 ±2% volts. The full scale range of
the A/D must be kept below 4 volts, but the part is only
specified for full scale range of 2 volts.

range is changed.
