An integrated phase lock loop (PLL) multiplies the
incoming ADC sampling clock by a factor of 12. This
high-frequency LVDS clock is used in the data
serialization and transmission process. The word
output of each internal ADC is serialized and
transmitted either MSB or LSB first. In addition to the
four data outputs, a bit clock and a word clock are
also transmitted. The bit clock is at 6x the speed of
the sampling clock, whereas the word clock is at the
same speed of the sampling clock.
The ADS5242 provides internal references, or can
optionally be driven with external references. Best
performance can be achieved through the internal
reference mode.
The device is available in an HTQFP-64 PowerPAD
package and is specified over a –40°C to +85°C
operating range.

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.

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 supported.
The DC voltage applied on the input pins should not go below –0.3V. Also, the DC voltage should be limited to the lower of either 3.3V
or (AVDD + 0.3V). If the input can go higher than +3.3V, then a resistor greater than or equal to 25Ω should be added in series with
each of the input pins. Also, the duty cycle of the overshoot beyond +3.3V should be limited. The overshoot duty cycle can be defined
either as a percentage of the time of overshoot over a clock period, or over the entire device lifetime. For a peak voltage between +3.3V
and +3.5V, a duty cycle up to 10% is acceptable. For a peak voltage between +3.5V and +3.7V, the overshoot duty cycle should not
exceed 1%. Any overshoot beyond +3.7V should be restricted to less than 0.1% duty cycle, and never exceed +3.9V.

Offset error is the deviation of the average code with a –1dBFS coherent sinusoid input from mid-code (2048).
Fixed attenuation in the channel arises due to a fixed attenuation in the sample-and-hold amplifier. When the differential voltage at the
analog input pins are changed from –VREF to +VREF, the swing of the output code is expected to deviate from the full-scale code
(4096LSB) by the extent of this fixed attenuation. NOTE: VREF is defined as (VREFT – VREFB).
The reference voltages are trimmed at production so that (VREFT – VREFB) is within ± 25mV of the ideal value of 1V. This specification
does not include fixed attenuation.
Supply current can be calculated from dividing the power dissipation by the supply voltage of 3.3V.
VCM provides the common-mode current for the inputs of all four channels when the inputs are AC-coupled. The VCM output current
specified is the additional drive of the VCM buffer if loaded externally.
Average current drawn from the reference pins in the external reference mode.

A differential ON/OFF pulse is applied to the ADC input. The differential amplitude of the pulse in its ON (high) state is twice the
full-scale range of the ADC, while the differential amplitude of the pulse in its OFF (low) state is zero. The overload recovery time of the
ADC is measured as the time required by the ADC output code to settle within 1% of full-scale, as measured from its mid-code value
when the pulse is switched from ON (high) to OFF (low).

LVDS DIGITAL DATA AND CLOCK OUTPUTS
Test conditions at IO = 3.5mA, RLOAD = 100Ω, CLOAD = 6pF, and 50% duty cycle. IO refers to the current setting for the LVDS buffer. RLOAD is
the differential load resistance between the differential LVDS pair. CLOAD is the effective single-ended load capacitance between each of the
LVDS pins and ground. CLOAD includes the receiver input parasitics as well as the routing parasitics. Measurements are done with a 1-inch
transmission line of 100Ω characteristic impedance between the device and the load. All LVDS specifications are characterized, but not
parametrically tested at production. LCLKOUT refers to (LCLKP – LCLKN); ADCLKOUT refers to (ADCLKP – ADCLKN); DATA OUT refers to
(OUTP – OUTN); and ADCLK refers to the input sampling clock.

This table indicates the LSB and MSB of the various patterns. LSB first mode means that the LSB comes out as the first bit of the word.
In the MSB first mode, the MSB comes out as the first bit of the word. The first bit of the word is the one that comes soon after the rising
edge of ADCLKP (the falling edge of ACDLKN).
The serial output stream comes out LSB first by default.
D11...D0 represent the 12 output bits from the ADC.
D0(4) represents the content of bit D0 of register 4, D3(6) represents the content of bit D3 of register 6, etc.

SBAS330C – OCTOBER 2004 – REVISED OCTOBER 2005
DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
Analog Bandwidth
Minimum Conversion Rate
The analog input frequency at which the spectral
power of the fundamental frequency (as determined
by FFT analysis) is reduced by 3dB.
This is the minimum sampling rate where the ADC
still works.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD)
Aperture Delay
The delay in time between the rising 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 Duty Cycle
Pulse width high is the minimum amount of time that
the ADCLK pulse should be left in logic ‘1’ state to
achieve rated performance. Pulse width low is the
minimum time that the ADCLK pulse should be left in
a low state (logic ‘0’). At a given clock rate, these
specifications define an acceptable clock duty cycle.
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 12-bit converter, 4096 codes)
are present over the full operating range.
SINAD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental
(PS) to the power of all the other spectral components
including noise (PN) and distortion (PD), but not
including DC.
PS
SINAD 10Log 10
PN PD
SINAD is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier)
when the absolute power of the fundamental is used
as the reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the
power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the
full-scale range of the converter.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS)
to the noise floor power (PN), excluding the power at
DC and the first eight harmonics.
P
SNR 10Log 10 S
PN
SNR is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier)
when the absolute power of the fundamental is used
as the reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the
power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the
full-scale range of the converter.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
The ENOB is a measure of converter performance as
compared to the theoretical limit based on
quantization noise.
ENOB SINAD 1.76
6.02
The ratio of the power of the fundamental to the
highest other spectral component (either spur or
harmonic). SFDR is typically given in units of dBc (dB
to carrier).
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.
Two-Tone, Third-Order Intermodulation
Distortion
Two-tone IMD3 is the ratio of power of the
fundamental (at frequencies f1 and f2) to the power of
the worst spectral component of third-order
intermodulation distortion at either frequency 2f1 – f2
or 2f2 – f1. IMD3 is either given in units of dBc (dB to
carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental
is used as the reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale)
when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to
the full-scale range of the converter.

ADS5242

SBAS330C – OCTOBER 2004 – REVISED OCTOBER 2005
THEORY OF OPERATION
OVERVIEW
The ADS5242 is a 4-channel, high-speed, CMOS
ADC.
It
consists
of
a
high-performance
sample-and-hold circuit at the input, followed by a
12-bit ADC. The 12 bits given out by each channel
are serialized and sent out on a single pair of pins in
LVDS format. All four channels of the ADS5242
operate from a single clock referred to as ADCLK.
The sampling clocks for each of the four channels are
generated from the input clock using a carefully
matched clock buffer tree. The 12x clock required for
the serializer is generated internally from ADCLK
using a phase lock loop (PLL). A 6x and a 1x clock
are also output in LVDS format along with the data to
enable easy data capture. The ADS5242 operates
from internally-generated reference voltages that are
trimmed to ensure matching across multiple devices
on a board. This feature eliminates the need for
external routing of reference lines and also improves
matching of the gain across devices. The nominal
values of REFT and REFB are 1.95V and 0.95V,
respectively. These values imply that a differential
input of –1V corresponds to the zero code of the
ADC, and a differential input of +1V corresponds to
the full-scale code (4095 LSB). VCM (common-mode
voltage of REFT and REFB) is also made available
externally through a pin, and is nominally 1.45V.
The ADC employs a pipelined converter architecture
consisting of a combination of multi-bit and single-bit
internal stages. Each stage feeds its data into the
digital error correction logic, ensuring excellent
differential linearity and no missing codes at the
12-bit level. The pipeline architecture results in a data
latency of 6.5 clock cycles.
The output of the ADC goes to a serializer that
operates from a 12x clock generated by the PLL. The
12 data bits from each channel are serialized and
sent LSB first. In addition to serializing the data, the
serializer also generates a 1x clock and a 6x clock.
These clocks are generated in the same way the
serialized data is generated, so these clocks maintain
perfect synchronization with the data. The data and
clock outputs of the serializer are buffered externally
using LVDS buffers. Using LVDS buffers to transmit
20
data externally has multiple advantages, such as a
reduced number of output pins (saving routing space
on the board), reduced power consumption, and
reduced effects of digital noise coupling to the analog
circuit inside the ADS5242.
The ADS5242 operates from two sets of supplies and
grounds. The analog supply/ground set is denoted as
AVDD/AVSS, while the digital set is denoted by
LVDD/LVSS.
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS
The analog input biasing is shown in Figure 35. The
inputs are biased internally using two 600Ω resistors
to enable AC-coupling. A resistor greater than 20Ω is
recommended in series with each input pin.
A 4pF sampling capacitor is used to sample the
inputs. The choice of the external AC-coupling
capacitor is dictated by the attenuation at the lowest
desired input frequency of operation. The attenuation
resulting from using a 10nF AC-coupling capacitor is
0.04%.

If the input is DC-coupled, then the output
common-mode voltage of the circuit driving the
ADS5242 should match the VCM (which is provided as
an output pin) to within ±50mV. It is recommended
that the output common-mode of the driving circuit be
derived from VCM provided by the device.

SBAS330C – OCTOBER 2004 – REVISED OCTOBER 2005
Figure 36 shows a detailed RLC model of the
sample-and-hold circuit. The circuit operates in two
phases. In the sample phase, the input is sampled on
two capacitors that are nominally 4pF. The sampling
circuit consists of a low-pass RC filter at the input to
filter out noise components that might be differentially
coupled on the input pins. The next phase is the hold
phase wherein the voltage sampled on the capacitors
is transferred (using the amplifier) to a subsequent
pipeline ADC stage.
INPUT OVER-VOLTAGE RECOVERY
The differential full-scale range supported by the
ADS5242 is nominally 2.03V. The ADS5242 is
specially designed to handle an over-voltage
condition where the differential peak-to-peak voltage
can exceed up to twice the ADC full-scale range. If
the input common-mode is not considerably off from
VCM during overload (less than 300mV around the
nominal value of 1.45V), recovery from an
over-voltage pulse input of twice the amplitude of a
full-scale pulse is expected to be within three clock
cycles when the input switches from overload to zero
signal. All of the amplifiers in the SHA and ADC are
specially designed for excellent recovery from an
overload signal.
In most applications, the ADC inputs are driven with
differential sinusoidal inputs. While the pulse-type
signal remains at peak overload conditions
throughout its HIGH state, the sinusoid signal only
attains peak overload intermittently, at its minima and
maxima. This condition is much less severe for the
ADC input and the recovery of the ADC output (to 1%
of full-scale around the expected code). This typically
happens within the second clock when the input is
driven with a sinusoid of amplitude equal to twice that
of the ADC differential full-scale range.

REFERENCE CIRCUIT DESIGN
The digital beam-forming algorithm relies on gain
matching across all receiver channels. A typical
system would have about 24 quad ADCs on the
board. In such a case, it is critical to ensure that the
gain is matched, essentially requiring the reference
voltages seen by all the ADCs to be the same.
Matching references within the four channels of a
chip is done by using a single internal reference
voltage buffer. Trimming the reference voltages on
each chip during production ensures the reference
voltages are well matched across different chips.
All bias currents required for the internal operation of
the device are set using an external resistor to
ground at pin ISET. Using a 56.2kΩ resistor on ISET
generates an internal reference current of 20µA. This
current is mirrored internally to generate the bias
current for the internal blocks. Using a larger external
resistor at ISET reduces the reference bias current and
thereby scales down the device operating power.
However, it is recommended that the external resistor
be within 10% of the specified value of 56.2kΩ so
that the internal bias margins for the various blocks
are proper.
Buffering the internal bandgap voltage also generates
a voltage called VCM, which is set to the midlevel of
REFT and REFB, and is accessible on a pin. It is
meant as a reference voltage to derive the input
common-mode in case the input is directly coupled. It
can also be used to derive the reference
common-mode voltage in the external reference
mode.
When using the internal reference mode, a 2Ω
resistor should be added between the reference pins
(REFT and REFB) and the decoupling capacitor, as
shown in Figure 37. If the device is used in the
external reference mode, this 2Ω resistor is not
required.

CLOCKING
The four channels on the chip operate from a single
ADCLK input. To ensure that the aperture delay and
jitter are same for all the channels, a clock tree
network is used to generate individual sampling
clocks to each channel. The clock paths for all the
channels are matched from the source point all the
way to the sample-and-hold amplifier. This ensures
that the performance and timing for all the channels
are identical. The use of the clock tree for matching
introduces an aperture delay, which is defined as the
delay between the rising edge of ADCLK and the
actual instant of sampling. The aperture delays for all
the channels are matched to the best possible extent.
However, a mismatch of ±20ps (±3σ) could exist
between the aperture instants of the four ADCs within
the same chip. However, the aperture delays of
ADCs across two different chips can be several
hundred picoseconds apart. Another critical
specification is the aperture jitter that is defined as
the uncertainty of the sampling instant. The gates in
the clock path are designed to provide an rms jitter of
approximately 1ps.
0.1µF
Figure 37. Internal Reference Mode
The device also supports the use of external
reference voltages. This mode involves forcing REFT
22
and REFB externally. In this mode, the internal
reference buffer is tri-stated. Since the switching
current for the four ADCs come from the
externally-forced references, it is possible for the
performance to be slightly less than when the internal
references are used. It should be noted that in this
mode, VCM and ISET continue to be generated from
the internal bandgap voltage, as in the internal
reference mode. It is therefore important to ensure
that
the
common-mode
voltage
of
the
externally-forced reference voltages matches to
within 50mV of VCM. The state of the reference
voltages during various combinations of PD and
INT/EXT is shown in Table 1.
Ideally, the input ADCLK should have a 50% duty
cycle. However, while routing ADCLK to different
components onboard, the duty cycle of the ADCLK
reaching the ADS5242 could deviate from 50%. A
smaller (or larger) duty cycle reduces the time
available for sample or hold phases of each circuit,
and is therefore not optimal. For this reason, the
internal PLL is used to generate an internal clock that
has 50% duty cycle. The input sampling instant,
ADS5242
www.ti.com
SBAS330C – OCTOBER 2004 – REVISED OCTOBER 2005
however, is determined by the rising edge of the
external clock and is not affected by jitter in the PLL.
In addition to generating a 50% duty cycle clock for
the ADC, the PLL also generates a 12x clock that is
used by the serializer to convert the parallel data from
the ADC to a serial stream of bits.
serializer is 780Mbps. The data comes out LSB first,
with a register programmability that allows it to revert
to MSB first. The serializer also transmits a 1x clock
and a 6x clock. The 6x clock (denoted as
LCLKP/LCLKN) is meant to synchronize the capture of
the LVDS data.
The use of the PLL automatically dictates the
minimum sample rate to be about 20MSPS. The PLL
also requires the input clock to be free-running. If the
input clock is momentarily stopped (for a duration of
less than 300ns) then the PLL would require
approximately 10µs to lock back to the input clock
frequency.
Deskew mode can be enabled as well, using a
register setting. This mode gives out a data stream of
alternate 0s and 1s and can be used determine the
relative delay between the 6x clock and the output
data for optimum capture. A 1x clock is also
generated by the serializer and transmitted through
the LVDS buffer. The 1x clock (referred to as
ADCLKP/ADCLKN) is used to determine the start of
the 12-bit data frame. Sync mode (enabled through a
register setting) gives out a data of six 0s followed by
six 1s. Using this mode, the 1x clock can be used to
determine the start of the data frame. In addition to
the deskew mode pattern and the sync mode pattern,
a custom pattern can be defined by the user and
output from the LVDS buffer. The LVDS buffers are
tri-stated in the power-down mode. The LVDS outputs
are weakly forced to 1.2V through 10kΩ resistors
(from each output pin to 1.2V).
LVDS BUFFERS
The LVDS buffer has two current sources, as shown
in Figure 38. OUTP and OUTN are loaded externally
by a resistive load that is ideally about 100Ω.
Depending on whether the data is 0 or 1, the currents
are directed in one direction or the other through the
resistor. The LVDS buffer has four current settings.
The default current setting is 3.5mA, and provides a
differential drop of about ±350mV across the 100Ω
resistor.
The single-ended output impedance of the LVDS
drivers is very high because they are current-source
driven. If there are excessive reflections from the
receiver, it might be necessary to place a 100Ω
termination resistor across the outputs of the LVDS
drivers to minimize the effect of reflections. In such a
situation, the output current of the LVDS drivers can
be increased to regain the output swing.

NOISE COUPLING ISSUES
High-speed mixed signals are sensitive to various
types of noise coupling. One of the main sources of
noise is the switching noise from the serializer and
the output buffers. Maximum care is taken to isolate
these noise sources from the sensitive analog blocks.
As a starting point, the analog and digital domains of
the chip are clearly demarcated. AVDD and AVSS
are used to denote the supplies for the analog
sections, while LVDD and LVSS are used to denote
the digital supplies. Care is taken to ensure that there
is minimal interaction between the supply sets within
the device. The extent of noise coupled and
transmitted from the digital to the analog sections
depends on the following:
1. The effective inductances of each of the
supply/ground sets.
2. The isolation between the digital and analog
supply/ground sets.
Smaller effective inductance of the supply/ground
pins leads to better suppression of the noise. For this
reason, multiple pins are used to drive each
supply/ground. It is also critical to ensure that the
impedances of the supply and ground lines on board
are kept to the minimum possible values. Use of
ground planes in the board as well as large
decoupling capacitors between the supply and
ground lines are necessary to get the best possible
SNR from the device.

SBAS330C – OCTOBER 2004 – REVISED OCTOBER 2005
RESET
It is recommended that the isolation be maintained on
board by using separate supplies to drive AVDD and
LVDD, as well as separate ground planes for AVSS
and LVSS.
After the supplies have stabilized, it is necessary to
give the device an active RESET pulse. This results
in all internal registers resetting to their default value
of 0 (inactive). Without a reset, it is possible that
some registers may be in their non-default state on
power-up. This may cause the device to malfunction.
When a reset is active, the device outputs ‘0’ code on
all channels. However, the LVDS output clocks are
unaffected by reset.
The use of LVDS buffers reduces the injected noise
considerably, compared to CMOS buffers. The
current in the LVDS buffer is independent of the
direction of switching. Also, the low output swing as
well as the differential nature of the LVDS buffer
results in low-noise coupling.
POWER-DOWN MODE
LAYOUT OF PCB WITH PowerPAD
THERMALLY-ENHANCED PACKAGES
The ADS5242 has a power-down pin, referred to as
PD. Pulling PD high causes the device to enter the
power-down mode. In this mode, the reference and
clock circuitry, as well as all the channels, are
powered down. Device power consumption drops to
less than 100mW in this mode. In power-down mode,
the internal buffers driving REFT and REFB are
tri-stated and their outputs are forced to a voltage
roughly equal to half of the voltage on AVDD. Speed
of recovery from power-down mode depends on the
value of the external capacitance on the REFT and
REFB pins. For capacitances on REFT and REFB less
than 1µF, the reference voltages settle to within 1%
of their steady-state values in less than 500µs.
Individual channels can also be selectively powered
down by programming registers.
The ADS5242 is housed in an 80-lead PowerPAD
thermally-enhanced package. To make optimum use
of the thermal efficiencies designed into the
PowerPAD package, the printed circuit board (PCB)
must be designed with this technology in mind.
Please refer to SLMA004 PowerPAD brief PowerPAD
Made Easy (refer to our web site at www.ti.com),
which addresses the specific considerations required
when integrating a PowerPAD package into a PCB
design. For more detailed information, including
thermal modeling and repair procedures, please see

an application report discussing the design of a
simple deserializer that can deserialize LVDS outputs
up to 840Mbps, can also be found on the TI web site
(www.ti.com).
The ADS5242 also has an internal circuit that
monitors the state of stopped clocks. If ADCLK is
stopped for longer than 300ns (or if it runs at a speed
less than 3MHz), this monitoring circuit generates a
logic signal that puts the device in a partial
power-down state. As a result, the power
consumption of the device is reduced when ADCLK is
stopped. The recovery from such a partial
power-down takes ap- proximately 100µs; this is
described in Table 2.
