A 29 8 differential sample and hold minimizes even order 28 9 harmonics and allows for a high degree of 27 10 common mode rejection at the analog input. A 26 11 buffered analog input enables operation with a 25 12 constant analog input impedance, and prevents transient voltage spikes from feeding backward to 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 the analog input source. Full temperature DNL performance allows for industrial application with the assurance of no missing codes. The typical integral nonlinearity (INL) for the THS1050 is less than one LSB. The superior INL curve of the THS1050 results in SFDR performance that is exceptional for a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter. The THS1050 can operate with either internal or external references. Internal reference usage selection is accomplished simply by externally connecting reference output terminals to reference input terminals.

The device uses a 1 bit per stage architecture in order to achieve the highest possible bandwidth. The differential analog inputs are terminated with a 900-Ω resistor. The inputs are then fed to a unity gain buffer followed by the S/H (sample and hold) stage. This S/H stage is a switched capacitor operational amplifier based circuit, see Figure 3. The pipeline is a typical 1 bit per stage pipeline as shown in the functional block diagram. The digital output of the 10 stages and the last 1 bit flash are sent to a digital correction logic block which then outputs the final 10 bits. absolute maximum ratings over operating free-air temperature (unless otherwise noted)† Supply voltage range: AVDD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . – 0.5 V to 7 V DVDD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . – 0.5 V to 7 V DRVDD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . – 0.5 V to 7 V Voltage between AVSS and DVSS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . – 0.3 V to 0.5 V Voltage between DRVDD and DVDD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . – 0.5 V to 5 V Voltage between AVDD and DVDD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . – 0.5 V to 5 V Digital data output . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . – 0.3 V to DVDD + 0.3 V CLK peak input current . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 mA Peak total input current (all inputs) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . – 30 mA Operating free-air temperature range, TA: THS1050C . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0°C to 70°C THS1050I . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . – 40°C to 85°C Storage temperature range . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . – 65°C to 150°C Lead temperature 1,6 mm (1/16 inch) from the case for 10 seconds . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 260°C † Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.

This type of reference selection offers the lowest noise possible by not relying on any active switch to make the selection. Compensating each reference output with a 1-µF and 0.01-µF chip capacitor is required as shown in Figure 18. The differential analog input range is equal to 2 (VREFOUT+ – VREFOUT–). When using external references, it is best to decouple the reference inputs with a 0.1-µF and 0.01-µF chip capacitor as shown in Figure 19.

External Reference Usage using the THS1050 clock input The THS1050 is a high performance A/D converter. In order to obtain the best possible performance, care should be taken to ensure that the device is clocked appropriately. The optimal clock to the device is a low jitter square wave with sharp rise times (< 2ns) at 50% duty cycle. The two clock inputs (CLK+ and CLK–), should be driven with complementary signals that have minimal skew, and nominally swing between 0 V and 5 V. The device will still operate with a peak-to-peak swing of 3 V on each clock channel (around the 2.5 V midpoint). Use of a transformer coupled clock input ensures minimal skew between the CLK+ and CLK– signals. If the available clock signal swing is not adequate, a step-up transformer can be used in order to deliver the required levels to the converter’s inputs, see Figure 20. For example if a 3.3 V standard CMOS logic is used for clock generation, a minicircuits T4 –1H transformer can be used for 2x voltage step-up. This provides greater than 6-V differential swing at the secondary of the transformer, which provides greater than 3-V swings to both CLK+ and CLK– terminals of THS1050. The center tap of the transformer secondary is connected to the VCM terminal of the THS1050 for proper dc biasing. Both the transformer and the clock source should be placed close to THS1050 to avoid transmission line effects. 3.3 V TTL logic is not recommended with T4 –1H transformer due to TTLs tendency to have lower output swings. If the input to the transformer is a square wave (such as one generated by a digital driver), care must be taken to ensure that the transformer’s bandwidth does not limit the signal’s rise time and effectively alter its shape and duty cycle characteristics. For a 50 MSPS rate, the transformer’s bandwidth should be at least 300 MHz. A low phase noise sinewave can also be used to effectively drive the THS1050. In this case, the bandwidth of the transformer becomes less critical, as long as it can accommodate the frequency of interest (for example, 50 MHz). The turns ratio should be chosen to ensure appropriate levels at the device’s input. If the clock signal is fed through a transmission line of characteristic impedance Zo, then the secondary of the transformer should be terminated with a resistor of nZo, where n is the transformer’s impedance ratio (1:n) as shown in Figure 20. Alternatively a series termination resistor having impedance equal to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line can be used at the clock source. 14 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 THS1050 10-BIT 50 MSPS IF SAMPLING COMMUNICATIONS ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER SLAS278 – APRIL 2000 APPLICATION INFORMATION 3 V p-p to 5 V p-p 0.1 µF Impedance Ratio = 1:4 Zo CLK+ R = Zo T4-1H R = 4 Zo ac Signal Source THS1050 CLK– VCM 0.01 µF 0.1 µF Figure 20. Driving the Clock From an Impedance Matched Source The clock signals, CLK+ and CLK–, should be well matched and must both be driven. A transformer ensures minimal skew between the two complementary channels. However, skew levels of up to 500 ps between CLK+ and CLK– can be tolerated with some performance degradation. The clock input can also be driven differentially with a 5 V TTL signal by using an RF transformer to convert the TTL signal to a differential signal. The TTL signal is ac-coupled to the positive primary terminal with a high pass circuit. The negative terminal of the transformer is connected to ground (see Figure 21).

The circuit below shows the optimum configuration, see Figure 22. The signal is fed to the primary of an RF transformer. Since the input signal must be biased around the common mode voltage of the internal circuitry, the common mode (VCM) reference from the THS1050 is connected to the center-tap of the secondary. To ensure a steady low noise VCM reference, the best performance is obtained when the VCM output is connected to ground with a 0.1-µF and 0.01-µF low inductance capacitor.

Driving the THS1050 Analog Input With Impedance Matched Transmission Line When it is necessary to buffer or apply a gain to the incoming analog signal, it is also possible to combine a single-ended amplifier with an RF transformer as shown in Figure 23. For this application, a wide-band current mode feedback amplifier such as the THS3001 is best. The noninverting input to the op-amps is terminated with a resistor having an impedance equal to the characteristic impedance of the wave-guide or trace that sources the IF input signal. The single ended output allows the use of standard passive filters between the amplifier output and the primary. In this case, the SFDR of the op amp is not as critical as that of the A/D converter. While harmonics generated from within the A/D converter fold back into the first Nyquist zone, harmonics generated externally in the op amps can be filtered out with passive filters. 1 kΩ 1 kΩ Impedance Ratio = 1:n 10 Ω _ RT VIN+ BPF + IF Input THS3001 THS1050 VIN– VCM 0.1 µF Figure 23.

The digital output high voltage level is equal to DRVDD. Table 1 shows the value of the digital output bits for full scale analog input voltage, midrange analog input voltage, and negative full scale input voltage. To reduce capacitive loading, each digital output of the THS1050 should drive only one digital input. The CMOS output drivers are capable of handling up to a 15 pF load. For better SNR performance, use 3.3 V for DRVDD. Resistors of 200 Ω in series with the digital output can be used for optimizing SNR performance. Table 1.

Regulated or linear supplies, as opposed to switched power supplies, must be used to minimize supply noise. It is also recommended to partition the analog and digital components on the board in such a way that the analog supply plane does not overlap with the digital supply plane in order to limit dielectric coupling between the different supplies. package The THS1050 is packaged in a small 48-pin quad flat-pack PowerPAD package. The die of the THS1050 is bonded directly to copper alloy plate which is exposed on the bottom of the package. Although, the PowerPAD provides superior heat dissipation when soldered to ground land, it is not necessary to solder the bottom of the PowerPAD to anything in order to achieve minimum performance levels indicated in this specification over the full recommended operating temperature range. If the device is to be used at ambient temperatures above the recommended operating temperatures, use of the PowerPAD is suggested. The copper alloy plate or PowerPAD is exposed on the bottom of the device package for a direct solder attachment to a PCB land or conductive pad. The land dimensions should have minimum dimensions equal to the package dimensions minus 2 mm, see Figure 24. For a multilayer circuit board, a second land having dimensions equal to or greater than the land to which the device is soldered should be placed on the back of the circuit board (see Figure 25). A total of 9 thermal vias or plated through-holes should be used to connect the two lands to a ground plane (buried or otherwise) having a minimum total area of 3 inches square in 1 oz. copper. For the THS1050 package, the thermal via centers should be spaced at a minimum of 1 mm. The ground plane need not be directly under or centered around the device footprint if a wide ground plane thermal run having a width on the order of the device is used to channel the heat from the vias to the larger portion of the ground plane. The THS1050 package has a standoff of 0.19 mm or 7.5 mils. In order to apply the proper amount of solder paste to the land, a solder paste stencil with a 6 mils thickness is recommended for this device. Too thin a stencil may lead to an inadequate connection to the land. Too thick a stencil may lead to beading of solder in the vicinity of the pins which may lead to shorts.
