It is greater than tracking bandwidth because it does not include the bandwidth of the output amplifier. 3 Hold mode noise is proportional to the length of time a signal is held. For example, if the hold time (tH) is 20 ns, the accumulated noise is typically 3 µV (150 mV/s x 20 ns). This value must be combined with the track mode noise to obtain total noise. 4 Total energy of worst case track-to-hold or hold-to-track glitch.

Aperature Delay Figure 1 - Timing Diagram Input Acquisition Time Observed at Hold Capacitor Output Observed at Amplifier Output CLK Hold Track Track-to-Hold Settling Hold NCLK TIMING SPECIFICATION DEFINITIONS TRACK-TO-HOLD SETTLING TIME ACQUISITION TIME The time required for the output to settle to within 4 mV of its final value. This is the time it takes the SPT9101 to acquire the analog signal at the internal hold capacitor when it makes a transition from hold mode to track mode. (See figure 1.) The acquisition time is measured from the 50% input clock transition point to the point when the signal is within a specified error band at the internal hold capacitor (ahead of the output amplifier). It does not include the delay and settling time of the output amplifier. Because the signal is internally acquired and settled at the hold capacitor before the output voltage has settled, the sampler can be put in hold mode before the output has settled. APERTURE DELAY The aperture delay time is the interval between the leading edge transition of the clock input and the instant when the input signal was equal to the held value. It is the difference in time between the digital hold switch delay and the analog signal propagation time. Because the analog propagation time is longer than the digital delay in the SPT9101, the aperture delay is a negative value.

It is pin and functionally compatible with the AD9101. It is a two stage design with a sampler driving a hold capacitor followed by a noninverting output buffer amplifier with gain of 4. The first stage sampler is based on a current amplifier in noninverting gain of one configuration with inverting input connected to the output. The hold switch is integrated into this closed-loop first stage amplifier. CADEKA highly recommends that a differential ECL clock be used to drive the SPT9101. Both the 10KH and 100KH family of ECL logic can be used. The typical interface diagram, figure 2, shows the use of a SPT HCMP96850 high-speed comparator. The comparator has a typical propagation delay of 2.4 ns, very low offset of 3 mV, and a minimum tracking bandwidth of 300 MHz. The comparator shown has been set up in a feedthrough operation mode with latch enable connected to a logic high. The output buffer amplifier is in a noninverting gain of 4 configuration with inverting input connected to a resistor divider driven from the output. The noninverting input from the hold capacitor employs input bias current cancellation which results in excellent droop rate performance. The sampler and amplifier stages both employ complementary current amplifiers for high-speed, low-distortion performance. The threshold voltage (Vt) can be set using a resistor divider as shown in note 1 of figure 2. The configuration shown in note 1a is for a TTL/CMOS clock input and the configuration shown in note 1b is for an ECL clock input. The differential output of the comparator is directly fed to the SPT9101 clock input. The comparator can also be driven with a sinewave input, with the threshold voltage (Vt) adjusted to produce the desired track/hold duty cycle ratio. TYPICAL INTERFACE CIRCUIT Note 4a shows the resistor divider configuration for a TTL/ CMOS clock input. If an ECL clock is used it can be directly fed into the comparator. BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR OUTPUT LEVEL SHIFTING (RTN PIN) The SPT9101 does not require the bootstrap capacitor that is required on the AD9101 between pins 3 and 19. Because pins 3 and 19 are No Connects on the SPT9101, it will work well in existing AD9101 sockets. The RTN pin is tied to the output buffer amplifier internal feedback resistor network as shown in the block diagram. Normally this pin is tied to ground for a 4x gain output amplifier configuration. However, this pin may be configured in other ways as long as certain guidelines are met. SPT9101 5 12/30/99 The RTN pin may be tied to an external voltage to generate an offset at the output. VOut must be kept to less than ±2.7 V typical output swing. VOut, with an external reference voltage at the RTN pin, is represented by the following formula: SAMPLER FOR 12-BIT ADC APPLICATION The SPT9101 was specifically designed for applications where improved bandwidth performance is required. Figure 3 shows as simple block diagram of the SPT9101 as a sampler ahead of the SPT7922 12-bit, 30 MSPS ADC. VOut = 4 VIN - 3 VRef where VRef = voltage at RTN pin and | VOut | ≤ 2.7 V Figure 3 - Sampler for 12-Bit ADC The following options are generally not recommended due to the possibility of degraded noise performance of the device: the RTN pin can also be tied to an external resistor to reduce the gain but performance may degrade due to increased noise from the external resistor. Also RTN can be left open for unity gain mode, however, noise will increase. VIN In all cases, VIN must be kept to -0.5 V≤ VIN ≤ +0.5 V for rated performance.
