8-Channel, 10-Bit, 40MSPS, 1.8V
CMOS ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● 8 DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG INPUTS
The ADS5121 is a low-power, 8-channel, 10-bit, 40MSPS
CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) that operates from
a single 1.8V supply, while offering 1.8V and 3.3V digital I/O
flexibility. A single-ended input clock is used for simultaneous
sampling of up to eight analog differential input channels. The
flexible duty cycle adjust circuit (DCASEL) allows the use of a
non-50% clock duty cycle. Individual standby pins allow users
the ability to power-down any number of ADCs.
● 1VPP DIFFERENTIAL INPUT RANGE
● INT/EXT VOLTAGE REFERENCE
● ANALOG/DIGITAL SUPPLY: 1.8V
● DIGITAL I/O SUPPLY: 1.8V/3.3V
● DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY: ±0.4LSB
● INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY: ±0.6LSB
The internal reference can be bypassed to use an external
reference to suit the accuracy and temperature drift requirements of the application. A 10-bit parallel bus on eight channels is provided with 3-state outputs.
● SIGNAL-TO-NOISE: 60dB at fIN = 20MHz
● POWER DISSIPATION: 500mW
● INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL POWER-DOWN
● 257-LEAD, 0.8 BALL PITCH, PLASTIC
MicroSTAR BGA™ (16mm • 16mm)
The speed, resolution, and low power of the ADS5121 make
it ideal for applications requiring high-density signal processing in low-power environments.
APPLICATIONS
The ADS5121 is characterized for operation from –40°C to
+85°C.

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 those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings”
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to absolute maximum
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

ADS5121

SBAS281
APPLICATION INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
The ADS5121 is an 8-channel, simultaneous sampling ADC.
Its low power and high sampling rate of 40MSPS is achieved
using a state-of-the-art switched capacitor pipeline architecture built on an advanced low-voltage CMOS process. The
ADS5121 operates primarily from a +1.8V single supply. For
additional interfacing flexibility, the digital I/O supply (DRVDD)
can be set to either +1.8V or +3.3V. The ADC core of each
channel consists of 10 pipeline stages. Each of the 10 stages
produces one digital bit per stage. Both the rising and the
falling clock edges are utilized to propagate the sample
through the pipeline every half clock, for a total of five clock
cycles. Two additional clock cycles are needed to pass the
sample data through the digital error correction logic and the
output latches. The total pipeline delay, or data latency, is
therefore 6.5 clock cycles long. Since a common clock
controls the timing of all eight channels, the analog signal is
sampled at the same time, as well as the data on the parallel
ports that become updated simultaneously.
INPUT IMPEDANCE
Due to the switched capacitor input, the input impedance of
the ADS5121 is effectively capacitive, and the driving source
needs to provide sufficient slew current to charge and discharge the input sampling capacitor. The input impedance of
the ADS5121 is also a function of the sampling rate. As the
sampling frequency increases, the input impedance decreases at a linear rate of 1/fs. For most applications, this
does not represent a limitation since the impedance remains
relatively high, for example, approximately 31kΩ at the max
sampling rate of 40MSPS. For applications using an op amp
to drive the ADC, it is recommended that a series resistor,
typically 10Ω to 50Ω, be added between the amplifier’s
output and the converter inputs. This will isolate the converter’s
capacitive input from the driver and avoid potential gain
peaking, or instability.
used for input biasing purposes. The voltage at CML will
assume the mid-point for either internal or external reference
operation. In any case, it is recommended to bypass the CML
pin with a ceramic 0.1µF capacitor.
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS
Differential versus Single-Ended
The analog input of the ADS5121 allows it to be driven either
single-ended or differentially. Differential operation of the
ADS5121 requires an input signal that consists of an inphase and a 180° out-of-phase part simultaneously applied
to the inputs (AIN+, AIN–). The differential operation offers a
number of advantages, which in most applications will be
instrumental in achieving the best dynamic performance of
the ADS5121:
• Signal swing is half that required for the single-ended
operation and is therefore less demanding to achieve while
maintaining good linearity performance from the signal
source.
• Reduced signal swing allows for more headroom of the
interface circuitry and therefore a wider selection of the
best suitable driver op amp.
• Even-order harmonics are minimized.
• Improved noise immunity based on the converter’s common-mode input rejection.
For the single-ended mode, the signal is applied to one of the
inputs while the other input is biased with a DC voltage to the
required common-mode level. Both inputs are identical in
terms of their impedance and performance. Applying the
signal to the complementary input (AIN–) instead of the AIN+
input, however, will invert the orientation of the input signal
relative to the output code. This could be helpful, for example, if the input driver operates in inverting mode using
input AIN– as the signal input will restore the phase of the
signal to its original orientation.
INPUT DRIVER CONFIGURATIONS
Transformer-Coupled Interface
INPUT BIASING
The ADS5121 operates from a single +1.8V analog supply,
and requires each of the analog inputs (AIN+, AIN–) to be
externally biased by a suitable common-mode voltage. For
example, with a common-mode voltage of +1V, the 1VPP fullscale, differential input signal will swing symmetrically around
+1V, or between 0.75V and 1.25V. This is determined by the
two reference voltages, the top reference (REFT), and the
bottom reference (REFB). Typically, the input common-mode
level is related to the reference voltages and defined as
(REFT + REFB)/2. This reference mid-point is provided at the
common-mode level output (CML) pin and can directly be
If the application requires a signal conversion from a singleended source to drive the ADS5121 differentially, an RFtransformer might be a good solution. The selected transformer must have a center tap in order to apply the commonmode DC voltage necessary to bias the converter inputs. ACgrounding the center tap will generate the differential signal
swing across the secondary winding. Consider a step-up
transformer to take advantage of signal amplification without
the introduction of another noise source. Furthermore, the
reduced signal swing from the source may lead to an improved distortion performance.

The differential input configuration may provide a noticeable
advantage of achieving good SFDR performance over a
wide range of input frequencies. In this mode, both inputs
(AIN+ and AIN–) of the ADS5121 see matched impedances.
Figure 1 shows the schematic for the suggested transformercoupled interface circuit. The component values of the R-C
low-pass may be optimized depending on the desired roll-off
frequency.
matched source impedances. If the op amp features a
disable function, it could be easily tied together with the
power-down pin of the ADS5121 channel (STBY). In the
circuit example depicted in Figure 2, the OPA355’s EN pin is
directly connected to the STBY pin to allow for a power-down
mode of the entire circuit. Other suitable op amps for singlesupply driver applications include the OPA634, OPA635, or
OPA690, for example.
Single-Ended, AC-Coupled Driver
DC-Coupled Interface with Differential Amplifier
The circuit of Figure 2 shows an example for driving the
inputs of the ADS5121 in a single-ended configuration. The
signal is AC-coupled between the driver amplifier and the
converter input (AIN+). This allows for setting the required
common-mode voltages for the ADC and op amp separately.
The single-supply op amp is biased at mid-supply by two
resistors connected at its noninverting input. Connecting
each input to the CML pin provides the required commonmode voltage for the inputs of the ADS5121. Here, two
resistors of equal value ensure that the inputs see closely
Differential input/output amplifiers can simplify the driver
circuit for applications requiring input DC-coupling. Flexible in
their configurations, such amplifiers can be used for singleended to differential conversion, allow for signal amplification, and also for filtering prior to the ADC. See Figure 3 for
one possible circuit implementation using the THS4130 amplifier. Here, the amplifier operates with a gain of +1. The
common- mode voltage available at the CML pin can be
conveniently connected to the amplifier’s VOCM pin to set
the required input bias for the ADS5121.

INTERNAL REFERENCE
390Ω
The internal reference circuit of the ADS5121 consists of a
bandgap voltage reference, the drivers for the top and
bottom reference, and the resistive reference ladder. The
corresponding reference pins are REFT, REFB, CML, IREFR,
BG, and PDREF. In order to enable the internal reference,
PDREF must be at a logic LOW (= 0) level. In addition, the
bandgap pin BG should be decoupled with a 0.1µF capacitor.
The reference circuit provides the reference voltages to each
of the eight channels.

as it will lead to degradation of the converter’s linearity.

USING EXTERNAL REFERENCES
REFERENCE OPERATION
For even more design flexibility, the internal reference can be
disabled and an external reference voltage used. The utilization of an external reference may be considered for applications requiring higher accuracy or improved temperature
performance. Especially in multi-channel applications, the
use of a common external reference has the benefit of
obtaining better matching of the full-scale range between
converters.
For proper operation of the ADS5121 and its reference,
an external 6.8kΩ resistor must be connected from the
IREFR pin to analog ground (AGND), as shown in Figure 4.
While a 1% resistor tolerance is adequate, deviating from this
resistor value will cause altered and degraded performance.
To ensure proper operation with any reference configuration, it
is necessary to provide solid bypassing at all reference pins in
order to keep the clock feedthrough to a minimum. Figure 4
shows the recommended decoupling scheme. Good performance can be obtained using 0.1µF low inductance ceramic
capacitors. Adding tantalum capacitors (1µF to 10µF) may lead
to a performance improvement, depending on the application.
All bypassing capacitors should be located as close as possible to their respective pins.
+1.8V
Setting the ADS5121 for external reference mode requires
taking the PDREF pin HIGH. In addition, pins BG and REFT
must be connected together (see Figure 5). The commonmode voltage at the CML pin will be maintained at approximately the mid-point of the applied reference voltages, according to CML ≈ (VREFT – VREFB)/2. The internal buffer

The DCASEL pin is a logic input, with its logic levels related
to the DVDD supply (+1.8V only):
amplifiers for REFT and REFB are disabled when the
ADS5121 operates in the external reference mode. The
external reference circuit must be designed to drive the
internal reference ladder (80Ω) located between the REFT
and REFB pins. For example, setting REFT = +1.25V and
REFB = +0.75V will require a current drive capability of at
least 0.5V/ 80Ω = 6.25mA. The external references can vary
as long as the value of the external top reference (REFTEXT)
stays within the range of +1.15V to +1.35V, and the external
bottom reference (REFBEXT) stays within +0.65V to +0.85V
(as shown in Figure 6).
a) DCASEL = LOW (GND); in this mode the clock conditioning circuitry is disabled. Use this setting if the applied
clock signal is a square-wave clock with a duty cycle of
50%, or if the duty cycle stays within a range of 48% to
52%.
b) DCASEL = HIGH (DVDD); in this mode the clock conditioning circuitry is enabled. Use this setting if the applied
external clock signal is a square-wave clock that does not
meet the criteria listed above, but has a duty cycle in the
range of 30% to 70%.
DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Clock Input
MINIMUM SAMPLING RATE
The clock input is designed to operate with +1.8V or +3.3V
CMOS logic levels. The clock circuitry is internally connected
to the DRVDD supply. Therefore, the input HIGH and LOW
levels will vary depending on the applied DRVDD supply, see
the DC Characteristic tables. Since both edges of the clock
are used in this pipeline ADC, the ideal clock should be a
square-wave logic signal with a 50% duty-cycle.
The pipeline architecture of the ADS5121 uses a switched
capacitor technique for the internal track-and-hold stages.
With each clock cycle, charges representing the captured
signal level are moved within the ADC pipeline core. The
high sampling rate necessitates the use of very small capacitor values. In order to hold the droop errors low, the capacitors require a minimum ‘refresh rate’. To maintain full accuracy of the acquired sample charge, the sampling clock of the
ADS5121 should not be lower than the specified minimum of
5MSPS.
Since this condition cannot always easily be met, the ADS5121
features an internal clock conditioning circuitry that can be
activated through the duty-cycle adjust pin (DCASEL).

The ADS5121 is equipped with a power-down function for
each of the eight channels. Labeled as STBY pins, the
channel is in normal operating mode when the STBY pin is
connected to logic high (H = 1). The selected ADC channel
will be in a power-down mode if the corresponding STBY pin
is connected to logic LOW (L = 0). The logic levels for the
STBY pins are dependent on the DRVDD supply. The powerdown function controls internal biasing nodes, and as a
consequence, any data present in the pipeline of the converter will become invalid. This is independent of whether the
clock remains applied during power-down or not. Following a
power-up, new valid data will become available after a
minimum of seven clock cycles. As a note, the operation of
the STBY pins is not intended for the use of dynamically
multiplexing between the eight channels of the ADS5121.
DIGITAL OUTPUT DRIVER SUPPLY, DRVDD
TABLE II. Coding Table for Differential Input Configuration
and 1VPP Full-Scale Range.
DIGITAL OUTPUT LOADING
Minimizing the capacitive loading on the digital outputs is
very important in achieving the best performance. The total
load capacitance is typically made up of two sources: the
next stage input capacitance, and the parasitic/pc-board
capacitance. It is recommended to keep the total capacitive
loading on the data lines as low as possible (≤ 20pF). Higher
capacitive loading will cause larger dynamic currents as the
digital outputs are dynamic states. High current surges may
cause feedback into the analog portion of the ADS5121 and
affect the performance. If necessary, external buffers or
latches close to the converter’s output pins may be used to
minimize the capacitive loading. A suggested device is the
SN74AVC16827 (20-bit buffer/driver), a member of the ‘Advanced Very Low Voltage CMOS’ logic family (AVC). Using
such a logic device can also provide the added benefit of
isolating the ADS5121 from any digital noise activities on the
bus coupling back high-frequency noise. Some applications
may also benefit from the use of series resistors (≤ 100Ω) in
the data lines. This will provide a current limit and reduce any
existing over- or undershoot.
OUTPUT ENABLE
The ADS5121 provides one output enable pin (OE) that
controls the digital outputs of all channels simultaneously. A
LOW (L = 0) level on the OE pin will have all channels active
and the converter in normal operation. Taking the OE pin
HIGH (H = 1) will disable or tri-state the outputs of all
The ADS5121 uses a dedicated supply connection for the
output logic drivers, DRVDD, along with its digital driver
ground connections, labeled DRGND.
Setting the voltage at DRVDD to either +3.3V or +1.8V also
sets the output logic levels accordingly, allowing the ADS5121
to directly interface to a selected logic family. The output
stages are designed to supply sufficient current to drive a
variety of logic families. However, it is recommended to use
the ADS5121 with a +1.8V driver supply. This will lower the
power dissipation in the output stages due to the lower output
swing and reduce current glitches on the supply lines, which
otherwise may affect the AC performance of the converter. In
some applications it might be advantageous to decouple the
DRVDD supply with additional capacitors or a pi-filter.
GROUNDING AND DECOUPLING
Proper grounding and bypassing, short lead length, and the
use of ground planes are particularly important for highfrequency designs. Multilayer pc-boards are recommended
for best performance since they offer distinct advantages
such as minimizing ground impedance, separation of signal
layers by ground layers, etc. The ADS5121 should be treated
as an analog component. Whenever possible, the supply
pins should be powered by the analog supply. This will
ensure the most consistent results, since digital supply lines
often carry high levels of noise which otherwise would be
coupled into the converter and degrade the achievable performance. The ground pins should directly connect to an
analog ground plane covering the pc-board area under the
converter. While designing the layout it is important to keep
the analog signal traces separated from any digital line to
prevent noise coupling onto the analog signal path. Due to its
high sampling rate, the ADS5121 generates high-frequency
current transients and noise (clock feedthrough) that are fed

back into the supply and reference lines. This requires that all
supply and reference pins are sufficiently bypassed. In most
cases 0.1µF ceramic chip capacitors at each pin are adequate to keep the impedance low over a wide frequency
range. Their effectiveness depends largely on the proximity
to the individual supply pin. Therefore, they should be located as close as possible to the supply pins. In addition, a
larger bipolar capacitor (1µF to 22µF) should be placed on
the pc-board in proximity to the converter circuit.
GAIN ERROR
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.
GAIN MATCHING
Variation in Gain Error between adjacent channels.
2ND-HARMONIC DISTORTION
LAYOUT OF THE PCB WITH A
MICROSTAR BGA PACKAGE
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
2nd-harmonic component, reported in dBc.
The ADS5121 is housed in a polymide film-based chipscale
package (CSP). Like most CSPs, solder alloy balls are used
as the interconnect between the package substrate and the
board on which the package is soldered. For detailed information regarding these packages, please refer to literature
number SSYZ015B, MicroStar BGA Packaging Reference
Guide, which addresses the specific considerations required
when integrating a MicroStar BGA package into the PCB
design. This document can be found at:

TERMINOLOGY
3RD-HARMONIC DISTORTION
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
3rd-harmonic component, reported in dBc.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD)
The 2-tone IMD is the ratio expressed in decibels of either
input tone to the worst 3rd-order (or higher) Intermodulation
products. The individual input tone levels are at –6.5dB fullscale, and their envelope is at –0.5dB full-scale.
OFFSET ERROR (ZERO-SCALE ERROR)
ANALOG BANDWIDTH
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of
the fundamental frequency (as determined by the FFT analysis) is reduced by 3dB.
The first transition should occur for an analog value 1/2 LSB
above negative full-scale. Offset error is defined as the
deviation of the actual transition from that point.
OFFSET MATCHING
APERTURE DELAY
The change in offset error between adjacent channels.
The delay between the 50% point of the rising edge of the
clock and the instant at which the analog input is sampled.
POWER-SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR)
APERTURE UNCERTAINTY (JITTER)
The ratio of a change in input offset voltage to a change in
power-supply voltage.
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE AND DISTORTION (SINAD)
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB)
The ENOB is calculated from the measured SINAD based on
the equation:
 SINAD – 1.76dB 
ENOB = 



6.02
EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION BANDWIDTH
The maximum analog input frequency at which the SINAD is
decreased by 3dB or the ENOB by half a bit.
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set 0.5dB below fullscale) to the rms value of the sum all other spectral components, including harmonics but excluding DC.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO (WITHOUT HARMONICS)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set 0.5dB below fullscale) to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral
components, excluding the first five harmonics and DC.
SPURIOUS-FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
peak spurious spectral component. The peak spurious component may or may not be a harmonic. May be reported in
dBc (i.e., degrades as signal level is lowered), or dBFS
(always related back to converter full-scale).
