ADC08D500
High Performance, Low Power, Dual 8-Bit, 500 MSPS A/D
Converter
General Description
Features
The ADC08D500 is a dual, low power, high performance
CMOS analog-to-digital converter that digitizes signals to 8
bits resolution at sampling rates up to 800 MSPS. Consuming
a typical 1.4 Watts at 500 MSPS from a single 1.9 Volt supply,
this device is guaranteed to have no missing codes over the
full operating temperature range. The unique folding and interpolating architecture, the fully differential comparator design, the innovative design of the internal sample-and-hold
amplifier and the self-calibration scheme enable a very flat
response of all dynamic parameters beyond Nyquist, producing a high 7.5 ENOB with a 250 MHz input signal and a 500
MHz sample rate while providing a 10-18 B.E.R. Output formatting is offset binary and the LVDS digital outputs are
compatible with IEEE 1596.3-1996, with the exception of an
adjustable common mode voltage between 0.8V and 1.2V.
Each converter has a 1:2 demultiplexer that feeds two LVDS
buses and reduces the output data rate on each bus to half
the sampling rate. The two converters can be interleaved and
used as a single 1 GSPS ADC.
The converter typically consumes less than 3.5 mW in the
Power Down Mode and is available in a 128-lead, thermally
enhanced exposed pad LQFP and operates over the Industrial (-40°C ≤ TA ≤ +85°C) temperature range.

Description
OutV / SCLK
Output Voltage Amplitude and Serial Interface Clock. Tie this pin
high for normal differential DCLK and data amplitude. Ground this
pin for a reduced differential output amplitude and reduced power
consumption. See Section 1.1.6. When the extended control mode
is enabled, this pin functions as the SCLK input which clocks in the
serial data. See Section 1.2 for details on the extended control
mode. See Section 1.3 for description of the serial interface.
4
OutEdge / DDR /
SDATA
DCLK Edge Select, Double Data Rate Enable and Serial Data
Input. This input sets the output edge of DCLK+ at which the output
data transitions. (See Section 1.1.5.2). When this pin is floating or
connected to 1/2 the supply voltage, DDR clocking is enabled.
When the extended control mode is enabled, this pin functions as
the SDATA input. See Section 1.2 for details on the extended
control mode. See Section 1.3 for description of the serial
interface.
15
DCLK_RST
DCLK Reset. A positive pulse on this pin is used to reset and
synchronize the DCLK outs of multiple converters. See Section 1.5
for detailed description.
26
PD
Power Down Pins. A logic high on the PD pin puts the entire device
into the Power Down Mode.
30
CAL
Calibration Cycle Initiate. A minimum 80 input clock cycles logic
low followed by a minimum of 80 input clock cycles high on this
pin initiates the self calibration sequence. See Section 2.4.2 for an
overview of self-calibration and Section 2.4.2.2 for a description of
on-command calibration.
29
PDQ
A logic high on the PDQ pin puts only the "Q" ADC into the Power
Down mode.
FSR/ECE
Full Scale Range Select and Extended Control Enable. In nonextended control mode, a logic low on this pin sets the full-scale
differential input range to 650 mVP-P. A logic high on this pin sets
the full-scale differential input range to 870 mVP-P. See Section
1.1.4. To enable the extended control mode, whereby the serial
interface and control registers are employed, allow this pin to float
or connect it to a voltage equal to VA/2. See Section 1.2 for
information on the extended control mode.

Description
CalDly / DES /
SCS
Calibration Delay, Dual Edge Sampling and Serial Interface Chip
Select. With a logic high or low on pin 14, this pin functions as
Calibration Delay and sets the number of clock cycles after power
up before calibration begins (See Section 1.1.1). With pin 14
floating, this pin acts as the enable pin for the serial interface input
and the CalDly value becomes 0b (short delay with no provision
for a long power-up calibration delay). When this pin is floating or
connected to a voltage equal to VA/2, DES (Dual Edge Sampling)
mode is selected where the "I" input is sampled at twice the clock
rate and the "Q" input is ignored. See Section 1.1.5.1.

CLK+
CLK-
LVDS Clock input pins for the ADC. The differential clock signal
must be a.c. coupled to these pins. The input signal is sampled on
the falling edge of CLK+. See Section 1.1.2 for a description of
acquiring the input and Section 2.3 for an overview of the clock
inputs.

VINQ+
VINQ−
Analog signal inputs to the ADC. The differential full-scale input
range is 650 mVP-P when the FSR pin is low, or 870 mVP-P when
the FSR pin is high.
7
VCMO
Common Mode Voltage. This pin is the common mode output in
d.c. coupling mode and also serves as the a.c. coupling mode
select pin. When d.c. coupling is used, the voltage output at this
pin is required to be the common mode input voltage at VIN+ and
VIN− when d.c. coupling is used. This pin should be grounded
when a.c. coupling is used at the analog inputs. This pin is capable
of sourcing or sinking 100 μA. See Section 2.2.

DCLK+
DCLK-
Differential Clock outputs used to latch the output data. Delayed
and non-delayed data outputs are supplied synchronous to this
signal. This signal is at 1/2 the input clock rate in SDR mode and
at 1/4 the input clock rate in the DDR mode. The DCLK outputs
are not active during a calibration cycle, therefore this is not
recommended as a system clock.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. There is no guarantee of operation at the Absolute Maximum
Ratings. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications
and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics
may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = DR GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply limits (that is, less than GND or greater than VA), the current at that pin should be limited to
25 mA. The 50 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 25 mA to
two. This limit is not placed upon the power, ground and digital output pins.
Note 4: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through ZERO Ohms.
Note 5: See AN-450, “Surface Mounting Methods and Their Effect on Product Reliability”.
Note 6: The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes beyond the Absolute Maximum Ratings may damage this device.
20121404
Note 7: To guarantee accuracy, it is required that VA and VDR be well bypassed. Each supply pin must be decoupled with separate bypass capacitors. Additionally,
achieving rated performance requires that the backside exposed pad be well grounded.
Note 8: Typical figures are at TA = 25°C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality
Level).

Note 10: The analog and clock input capacitances are die capacitances only. Additional package capacitances of 0.65 pF differential and 0.95 pF each pin to
ground are isolated from the die capacitances by lead and bond wire inductances.
Note 11: This parameter is guaranteed by design and is not tested in production.
Note 12: This parameter is guaranteed by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.
Note 13: The digital control pin capacitances are die capacitances only. Additional package capacitance of 1.6 pF each pin to ground are isolated from the die
capacitances by lead and bond wire inductances.
Note 14: Each of the two converters of the ADC08D500 has two LVDS output buses, which each clock data out at one half the sample rate. The data at each
bus is clocked out at one half the sample rate. The second bus (D0 through D7) has a pipeline latency that is one clock cycle less than the latency of the first bus
(Dd0 through Dd7)
Note 15: Tying VBG to the supply rail will increase the output offset voltage (VOS) by 400mv (typical), as shown in the VOS specification above. Tying VBG to the
supply rail will also affect the differential LVDS output voltage (VOD), causing it to increase by 40mV (typical).

Note 9: Calculation of Full-Scale Error for this device assumes that the actual reference voltage is exactly its nominal value. Full-Scale Error for this device,
therefore, is a combination of Full-Scale Error and Reference Voltage Error. See Transfer Characteristic Figure 2. For relationship between Gain Error and FullScale Error, see Specification Definitions for Gain Error.
ADC08D500
Specification Definitions
APERTURE (SAMPLING) DELAY is that time required after
the fall of the clock input for the sampling switch to open. The
Sample/Hold circuit effectively stops capturing the input signal and goes into the “hold” mode the aperture delay time
(tAD) after the clock goes low.
APERTURE JITTER (tAJ) is the variation in aperture delay
from sample to sample. Aperture jitter shows up as input
noise.
Bit Error Rate (B.E.R.) is the probability of error and is defined as the probable number of errors per unit of time divided
by the number of bits seen in that amount of time. A B.E.R. of
10-18 corresponds to a statistical error in one bit about every
four (4) years.
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that the clock
wave form is at a logic high to the total time of one clock period.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of
the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB.
Measured at 500 MSPS with a ramp input.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE
BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise and
Distortion Ratio, or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD −
1.76) / 6.02 and says that the converter is equivalent to a perfect ADC of this (ENOB) number of bits.
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH (FPBW) is a measure of the
frequency at which the reconstructed output fundamental
drops 3 dB below its low frequency value for a full scale input.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the
transfer function. It can be calculated from Offset and FullScale Errors:
Pos. Gain Error = Offset Error − Pos. Full-Scale Error
Neg. Gain Error = −(Offset Error − Neg. Full-Scale Error)
Gain Error = Neg. Full-Scale Error − Pos. Full-Scale Error
= Pos. Gain Error + Neg. Gain Error
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a straight line through the
input to output transfer function. The deviation of any given
code from this straight line is measured from the center of that
code value. The best fit method is used.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is the creation of
additional spectral components as a result of two sinusoidal
frequencies being applied to the ADC input at the same time.
It is defined as the ratio of the power in the second and third
order intermodulation products to the power in one of the
original frequencies. IMD is usually expressed in dBFS.
LSB (LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the smallest value or weight of all bits. This value is
20121446
FIGURE 1.
LVDS OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE (VOS) is the midpoint
between the D+ and D- pins output voltage; i.e., [(VD+) +
( VD-)]/2.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that are skipped
and will never appear at the ADC outputs. These codes cannot be reached with any input value.
MSB (MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the largest
value or weight. Its value is one half of full scale.
NEGATIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (NFSE) is a measure of
how far the last code transition is from the ideal 1/2 LSB above
a differential −870 mV with the FSR pin high, or 1/2 LSB above
a differential −650 mV with the FSR pin low. For the ADC08D500 the reference voltage is assumed to be ideal, so
this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference
voltage error.
OFFSET ERROR (VOFF) is a measure of how far the midscale point is from the ideal zero voltage differential input.
Offset Error = Actual Input causing average of 8k samples to result in an average code of 127.5.
OUTPUT DELAY (tOD) is the time delay after the falling edge
of DCLK before the data update is present at the output pins.
OVER-RANGE RECOVERY TIME is the time required after
the differential input voltages goes from ±1.2V to 0V for the
converter to recover and make a conversion with its rated accuracy.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of clock cycles
between initiation of conversion and when that data is presented to the output driver stage. New data is available at
every clock cycle, but the data lags the conversion by the
Pipeline Delay plus the tOD.
POSITIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (PFSE) is a measure of
how far the last code transition is from the ideal 1-1/2 LSB
below a differential +870 mV with the FSR pin high, or 1-1/2
LSB below a differential +650 mV with the FSR pin low. For
the ADC08D500 the reference voltage is assumed to be ideal,
so this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference
voltage error.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) can be one
of two specifications. PSRR1 (DC PSRR) is the ratio of the
change in full-scale error that results from a power supply
voltage change from 1.8V to 2.0V. PSRR2 (AC PSRR) is a
measure of how well an a.c. signal riding upon the power
supply is rejected from the output and is measured with a 248
MHz, 50 mVP-P signal riding upon the power supply. It is the
ratio of the output amplitude of that signal at the output to its
amplitude on the power supply pin. PSRR is expressed in dB.
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in
dB, of the rms value of the input signal at the output to the rms
value of the sum of all other spectral components below onehalf the sampling frequency, not including harmonics or d.c.
VFS / 2n
where VFS is the differential full-scale amplitude of 650 mV or
870 mV as set by the FSR input and "n" is the ADC resolution
in bits, which is 8 for the ADC08D500.
LVDS DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE (VOD) is the absolute value of the difference between the VD+ & VD- outputs;
each measured with respect to Ground.

where Af1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output) frequency and Af2 through Af10 are the RMS power of the first 9
harmonic frequencies in the output spectrum.
– Second Harmonic Distortion (2nd Harm) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the input
frequency seen at the output and the power in its 2nd harmonic level at the output.
– Third Harmonic Distortion (3rd Harm) is the difference
expressed in dB between the RMS power in the input frequency seen at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic
level at the output.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/(N+D) or
SINAD) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the
input signal at the output to the rms value of all of the other
spectral components below half the clock frequency, including harmonics but excluding d.c.
SPURIOUS-FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the rms values of the input
signal at the output and the peak spurious signal, where a
spurious signal is any signal present in the output spectrum
that is not present at the input, excluding d.c.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio expressed in dB, of the rms total of the first nine harmonic levels
at the output to the level of the fundamental at the output. THD

ADC08D500
During the calibration process, the input termination resistor
is trimmed to a value that is equal to REXT / 33. This external
resistor is located between pin 32 and ground. REXT must be
3300 Ω ±0.1%. With this value, the input termination resistor
is trimmed to be 100 Ω. Because REXT is also used to set the
proper current for the Track and Hold amplifier, for the preamplifiers and for the comparators, other values of REXT should
not be used. In normal operation, calibration is performed just
after application of power and whenever a valid calibration
command is given, which is holding the CAL pin low for at
least 80 clock cycles, then hold it high for at least another 80
clock cycles. The time taken by the calibration procedure is
specified in the A.C. Characteristics Table. Holding the CAL
pin high upon power up will prevent the calibration process
from running until the CAL pin experiences the above-mentioned 80 clock cycles low followed by 80 clock cycles high.
CalDly (pin 127) is used to select one of two delay times after
the application of power to the start of calibration. This calibration delay is 225 clock cycles (about 67.2 ms at 500 MSPS)
with CalDly low, or 231 clock cycles (about 4.3 seconds at 500
MSPS) with CalDly high. These delay values allow the power
supply to come up and stabilize before calibration takes place.
If the PD pin is high upon power-up, the calibration delay
counter will be disabled until the PD pin is brought low. Therefore, holding the PD pin high during power up will further delay
the start of the power-up calibration cycle. The best setting of
the CalDly pin depends upon the power-on settling time of the
power supply.
The CalRun output is high whenever the calibration procedure is running. This is true whether the calibration is done at
power-up or on-command.
1.0 Functional Description
The ADC08D500 is a versatile A/D Converter with an innovative architecture permitting very high speed operation. The
controls available ease the application of the device to circuit
solutions. Optimum performance requires adherence to the
provisions discussed here and in the Applications Information
Section.
While it is generally poor practice to allow an active pin to float,
pins 4, 14 and 127 of the ADC08D500 are designed to be left
floating without jeopardy. In all discussions throughout this
data sheet, whenever a function is called by allowing a pin to
float, connecting that pin to a potential of one half the VA supply voltage will have the same effect as allowing it to float.
1.1 OVERVIEW
The ADC08D500 uses a calibrated folding and interpolating
architecture that achieves over 7.5 effective bits. The use of
folding amplifiers greatly reduces the number of comparators
and power consumption. Interpolation reduces the number of
front-end amplifiers required, minimizing the load on the input
signal and further reducing power requirements. In addition
to other things, on-chip calibration reduces the INL bow often
seen with folding architectures. The result is an extremely
fast, high performance, low power converter.
The analog input signal that is within the converter's input
voltage range is digitized to eight bits at speeds of 200 MSPS
to 500 MSPS, typical. Differential input voltages below negative full-scale will cause the output word to consist of all
zeroes. Differential input voltages above positive full-scale
will cause the output word to consist of all ones. Either of
these conditions at either the "I" or "Q" input will cause the OR
(Out of Range) output to be activated. This single OR output
indicates when the output code from one or both of the channels is below negative full scale or above positive full scale.
Each of the two converters has a 1:2 demultiplexer that feeds
two LVDS output buses. The data on these buses provide an
output word rate on each bus at half the ADC sampling rate
and must be interleaved by the user to provide output words
at the full conversion rate.
The output levels may be selected to be normal or reduced.
Using reduced levels saves power but could result in erroneous data capture of some or all of the bits, especially at
higher sample rates and in marginally designed systems.
1.1.2 Acquiring the Input
Data is acquired at the falling edge of CLK+ (pin 18) and the
digital equivalent of that data is available at the digital outputs
13 clock cycles later for the DI and DQ output buses and 14
clock cycles later for the DId and DQd output buses. There is
an additional internal delay called tOD before the data is available at the outputs. See the Timing Diagram. The ADC08D500 will convert as long as the clock signal is present.
The fully differential comparator design and the innovative
design of the sample-and-hold amplifier, together with self
calibration, enables a very flat SINAD/ENOB response beyond 500 MHz. The ADC08D500 output data signaling is
LVDS and the output format is offset binary.
1.1.1 Self-Calibration
A self-calibration is performed upon power-up and can also
be invoked by the user upon command. Calibration trims the
100Ω analog input differential termination resistor and minimizes full-scale error, offset error, DNL and INL, resulting in
maximizing SNR, THD, SINAD (SNDR) and ENOB. Internal
bias currents are also set with the calibration process. All of
this is true whether the calibration is performed upon power
up or is performed upon command. Running the self calibration is an important part of this chip's functionality and is
required in order to obtain adequate performance. In addition
to the requirement to be run at power-up, self calibration must
be re-run whenever the sense of the FSR pin is changed. For
best performance, we recommend that self calibration be run
20 seconds or more after application of power and whenever
the operating temperature changes significantly, according to
the particular system design requirements. See Section
2.4.2.2 for more information. Calibration can not be initiated
or run while the device is in the power-down mode. See Section 1.7 for information on the interaction between Power
Down and Calibration.
www.national.com
1.1.3 Control Modes
Much of the user control can be accomplished with several
control pins that are provided. Examples include initiation of
the calibration cycle, power down mode and full scale range
setting. However, the ADC08D500 also provides an Extended Control mode whereby a serial interface is used to access
register-based control of several advanced features. The Extended Control mode is not intended to be enabled and
disabled dynamically. Rather, the user is expected to employ
either the normal control mode or the Extended Control mode
at all times. When the device is in the Extended Control mode,
pin-based control of several features is replaced with registerbased control and those pin-based controls are disabled.
These pins are OutV (pin 3), OutEdge/DDR (pin 4), FSR (pin
14) and CalDly/DES (pin 127). See Section 1.2 for details on
the Extended Control mode.
1.1.4 The Analog Inputs
The ADC08D500 must be driven with a differential input signal. Operation with a single-ended signal is not recommended. It is important that the inputs either be a.c. coupled to the
24
1.1.5.1 Dual-Edge Sampling
The DES mode allows one of the ADC08D500's inputs (I or
Q Channel) to be sampled by both ADCs. One ADC samples
the input on the positive edge of the input clock and the other
ADC samples the same input on the other edge of the input
clock. A single input is thus sampled twice per clock cycle,
resulting in an overall sample rate of twice the input clock frequency, or 1 GSPS with a 500 MHz clock.
In this mode the outputs are interleaved such that the data is
effectively demultiplexed 1:4. Since the sample rate is doubled, each of the 4 output buses have a 250 MSPS output rate
with a 500 MHz input clock. All data is available in parallel.
The four bytes of parallel data that is output with each clock
is in the following sampling order, from the earliest to the latest: DQd, DId, DQ, DI. Table 1 indicates what the outputs
represent for the various sampling possibilities.
In the non-extended mode of operation only the "I" input can
be sampled in the DES mode. In the extended mode of operation the user can select which input is sampled.
The ADC08D500 also includes an automatic clock phase
background calibration feature which can be used in DES
mode to automatically and continuously adjust the clock
phase of the I and Q channel. This feature removes the need
to adjust the clock phase setting manually and provides optimal Dual-Edge Sampling ENOB performance.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The background calibration feature in
DES mode does not replace the requirement for On-Command Calibration which should be run before entering DES
mode, or if a large swing in ambient temperature is experienced by the device.
1.1.5 Clocking
The ADC08D500 must be driven with an a.c. coupled, differential clock signal. Section 2.3 describes the use of the clock
input pins. A differential LVDS output clock is available for use
in latching the ADC output data into whatever receives that
data.
The ADC08D500 offers options for input and output clocking.
These options include a choice of Dual Edge Sampling (DES)
or interleaved mode where the ADC08D500 performs as a
single device converting at twice the input clock rate and a
choice of which DCLK edge the output data transitions on and
choice of Single Data Rate (SDR) or Double Data Rate (DDR)
outputs.
The ADC08D500 also has the option to use a duty cycle corrected clock receiver as part of the input clock circuit. This
feature is enabled by default and provides improved ADC
clocking, especially in the Dual-Edge Sampling mode (DES).
This circuitry allows the ADC to be clocked with a signal
source having a duty cycle ratio of 80 / 20 % (worst case) for
both the normal and the Dual Edge Sampling modes.

sent to the outputs on both DCLK edges. DDR clocking is
enabled in non-Extended Control mode by allowing pin 4 to
float.
1.1.5.2 OutEdge Setting
To help ease data capture in the SDR mode, the output data
may be caused to transition on either the positive or the negative edge of the output data clock (DCLK). This is chosen
with the OutEdge input (pin 4). A high on the OutEdge input
causes the output data to transition on the rising edge of
DCLK, while grounding this input causes the output to transition on the falling edge of DCLK. See Section 2.4.3.
1.1.6 The LVDS Outputs
The data outputs, the Out Of Range (OR) and DCLK, are
LVDS. Output current sources provide 3 mA of output current
to a differential 100 Ohm load when the OutV input (pin 14) is
high or 2.2 mA when the OutV input is low. For short LVDS
lines and low noise systems, satisfactory performance may
be realized with the OutV input low, which results in lower
power consumption. If the LVDS lines are long and/or the
system in which the ADC08D500 is used is noisy, it may be
necessary to tie the OutV pin high. The LVDS data output
1.1.5.3 Double Data Rate
A choice of single data rate (SDR) or double data rate (DDR)
output is offered. With single data rate the clock frequency is
the same as the data rate of the two output buses. With double
data rate the clock frequency is half the data rate and data is

inputs with the VCMO pin grounded or d.c. coupled with the
VCMO pin not grounded and an input common mode voltage
equal to the VCMO output.
Two full-scale range settings are provided with pin 14 (FSR).
A high on pin 14 causes an input full-scale range setting of
870 mVP-P, while grounding pin 14 causes an input full-scale
range setting of 650 mVP-P. The full-scale range setting operates equally on both ADCs.
In the Extended Control mode, the full-scale input range can
be set to values between 560 mVP-P and 840 mVP-P through
a serial interface. See Section 2.2

have a typical common mode voltage of 800mV when the
VBG pin is unconnected and floating. This common mode voltage can be increased to 1.2V by tying the VBG pin to VA if a
higher common mode is required.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Tying the VBG pin to VA will also increase the differential LVDS output voltage by up to 40mV.
requested while the device is powered down, the calibration
will not begin at all. That is, the manual calibration input is
completely ignored in the power down state. Calibration will
function with the "Q" channel powered down, but that channel
will not be calibrated if PDQ is high. If the "Q" channel is subsequently to be used, it is necessary to perform a calibration
after PDQ is brought low.
1.1.7 Power Down
The ADC08D500 is in the active state when the Power Down
pin (PD) is low. When the PD pin is high, the device is in the
power down mode, where the output pins hold the last conversion before the PD pin went high and the device power
consumption is reduced to a minimal level. A high on the PDQ
pin will power down the "Q" channel and leave the "I" channel
active. There is no provision to power down the "I" channel
independently of the "Q" channel. Upon return to normal operation, the pipeline will contain meaningless information.
If the PD input is brought high while a calibration is running,
the device will not go into power down until the calibration
sequence is complete. However, if power is applied and PD
is already high, the device will not begin the calibration sequence until the PD input goes low. If a manual calibration is
1.2 NORMAL/EXTENDED CONTROL
The ADC08D500 may be operated in one of two modes. In
the simpler "normal" control mode, the user affects available
configuration and control of the device through several control
pins. The "extended control mode" provides additional configuration and control options through a serial interface and a
set of 8 registers. The two control modes are selected with
pin 14 (FSR/ECE: Extended Control Enable). The choice of
control modes is required to be a fixed selection and is not
intended to be switched dynamically while the device is operational.
Table 2 shows how several of the device features are affected
by the control mode chosen.

1.3 THE SERIAL INTERFACE
IMPORTANT NOTE: During the initial write using the serial
interface, all 8 user registers must be written with desired or
default values. In addition, the first write to the DES Enable
register (Dh) must load the default value (0x3FFFh). Once all
registers have been written once, other desired settings, including enabling DES can be loaded.
The 3-pin serial interface is enabled only when the device is
in the Extended Control mode. The pins of this interface are
Serial Clock (SCLK), Serial Data (SDATA) and Serial Interface Chip Select (SCS) Eight write only registers are accessible through this serial interface.
SCS: This signal should be asserted low while accessing a
register through the serial interface. Setup and hold times with
respect to the SCLK must be observed.
SCLK: Serial data input is accepted with the rising edge of
this signal. There is no minimum frequency requirement for
SCLK.
SDATA: Each register access requires a specific 32-bit pattern at this input. This pattern consists of a header, register
address and register value. The data is shifted in MSB first.
Setup and hold times with respect to the SCLK must be observed. See the Timing Diagram.
Each Register access consists of 32 bits, as shown in Figure
5 of the Timing Diagrams. The fixed header pattern is 0000
0000 0001 (eleven zeros followed by a 1). The loading sequence is such that a 0b is loaded first. These 12 bits form
the header. The next 4 bits are the address of the register that
is to be written to and the last 16 bits are the data written to
the addressed register. The addresses of the various registers are indicated in Table 4.
Refer to the Register Description (Section 1.4) for information
on the data to be written to the registers.
Subsequent register accesses may be performed immediately, starting with the 33rd SCLK. This means that the SCS input
does not have to be de-asserted and asserted again between
register addresses. It is possible, although not recommended,
to keep the SCS input permanently enabled (at a logic low)
when using extended control.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Serial Interface should not be used
when calibrating the ADC. Doing so will impair the performance of the device until it is re-calibrated correctly. Pro27

The default state of the Extended Control Mode is set upon
power-on reset (internally performed by the device) and is
shown in Table 3.
ADC08D500
1.4 REGISTER DESCRIPTION
Eight write-only registers provide several control and configuration options in the Extended Control Mode. These registers have no effect when the device is in the Normal Control
Mode. Each register description below also shows the PowerOn Reset (POR) state of each control bit.
Bit 8
OE: Output Edge. This bit selects the DCLK
edge with which the data words transition in
the SDR mode and has the same effect as the
OutEdge pin in the normal control mode.
When this bit is 1b, the data outputs change
with the rising edge of DCLK+. When this bit is
0b, the data output change with the falling
edge of DCLK+.

should first be changed to 0, then the Configuration
Register can be written. Failure to follow this procedure
can cause the internal DES clock generation circuitry to
stop.

Bit 12
DCS: Duty Cycle Stabilizer. When this bit is set
to 1b, a duty cycle stabilization circuit is
applied to the clock input. When this bit is set
to 0b the stabilization circuit is disabled.
Bit 11
DCP: DDR Clock Phase. This bit only has an
effect in the DDR mode. When this bit is set to
0b, the DCLK edges are time-aligned with the
data bus edges ("0° Phase"). When this bit is
set to 1b, the DCLK edges are placed in the
middle of the data bit-cells ("90° Phase"),
using the one-half speed DCLK shown in
Figure 4 as the phase reference.
POR State: 0b
Bit 10
nDE: DDR Enable. When this bit is set to 0b,
data bus clocking follows the DDR (Dual Data
Rate) mode whereby a data word is output
with each rising and falling edge of DCLK.
When this bit is set to a 1b, data bus clocking
follows the SDR (single data rate) mode
whereby each data word is output with either
the rising or falling edge of DCLK, as
determined by the OutEdge bit.
POR State: 0b
Bit 9
OV: Output Voltage. This bit determines the
LVDS outputs' voltage amplitude and has the
same function as the OutV pin that is used in
the normal control mode. When this bit is set
to 1b, the standard output amplitude of 710
mVP-P is used. When this bit is set to 0b, the
reduced output amplitude of 510 mVP-P is
used.

These times are specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics
Table.
The DCLK_RST signal can be asserted asynchronous to the
input clock If DCLK_RST is asserted, the DCLK output is held
in a designated state. The state in which DCLK is held during
the reset period is determined by the mode of operation (SDR/
DDR) and the setting of the Output Edge configuration pin or
bit. (Refer to Figure 6, Figure 8, and Figure 8 for the DCLK
reset conditions). Therefore depending upon when the
DCLK_RST signal is asserted, there may be a narrow pulse
on the DCLK line during this reset event. When the
DCLK_RST signal is de-asserted in synchronization with the
CLK rising edge, the next CLK falling edge synchronizes the
DCLK output with those of other ADC08D500s in the system.
The DCLK output is enabled again after a constant delay
which is equal to the CLK input to DCLK output delay (tAD).
The device always exhibits this delay characteristic in normal
operation.
The DCLK-RST pin should NOT be brought high while the
calibration process is running (while CalRun is high). Doing
so could cause a digital glitch in the digital circuitry, resulting
in corruption and invalidation of the calibration.

2.0 Applications Information
1.4.1 Note Regarding Extended Mode Offset Correction
When using the I or Q channel Offset Adjust registers, the
following information should be noted.
For offset values of +0000 0000 and -0000 0000, the actual
offset is not the same. By changing only the sign bit in this
case, an offset step in the digital output code of about 1/10th
of an LSB is experienced. This is shown more clearly in the
Figure below.
2.1 THE REFERENCE VOLTAGE
The voltage reference for the ADC08D500 is derived from a
1.254V bandgap reference which is made available at pin 31,
VBG for user convenience and has an output current capability
of ±100 μA and should be buffered if more current than this
is required.
The internal bandgap-derived reference voltage has a nominal value of 650 mV or 870 mV, as determined by the FSR
pin and described in Section 1.1.4.
There is no provision for the use of an external reference voltage, but the full-scale input voltage can be adjusted through
a Configuration Register in the Extended Control mode, as
explained in Section 1.2.
Differential input signals up to the chosen full-scale level will
be digitized to 8 bits. Signal excursions beyond the full-scale
range will be clipped at the output. These large signal excursions will also activate the OR output for the time that the
signal is out of range. See Section 2.2.2.
One extra feature of the VBG pin is that it can be used to raise
the common mode voltage level of the LVDS outputs. The
output offset voltage (VOS) is typically 800mV when the VBG
pin is used as an output or left unconnected. To raise the
LVDS offset voltage to a typical value of 1200mV the VBG pin
can be connected directly to the supply rails.
20121430
FIGURE 10. Extended Mode Offset Behavior
2.2 THE ANALOG INPUT
The analog input is a differential one to which the signal
source may be a.c. coupled or d.c. coupled. The full-scale
input range is selected with the FSR pin to be 650 mVP-P or
870 mVP-P, or can be adjusted to values between 560 mVPP and 840 mVP-P in the Extended Control mode through the
Serial Interface. For best performance, it is recommended
that the full-scale range be kept between 595 mVP-P and 805
mVP-P in the Extended Control mode.
Table 5 gives the input to output relationship with the FSR pin
high and the normal (non-extended) mode is used. With the
FSR pin grounded, the millivolt values in Table 5 are reduced
to 75% of the values indicated. In the Enhanced Control
Mode, these values will be determined by the full scale range
and offset settings in the Control Registers.
1.5 MULTIPLE ADC SYNCHRONIZATION
The ADC08D500 has the capability to precisely reset its sampling clock input to DCLK output relationship as determined
by the user-supplied DCLK_RST pulse. This allows multiple
ADCs in a system to have their DCLK (and data) outputs
transition at the same time with respect to the shared CLK
input that they all use for sampling.
The DCLK_RST signal must observe some timing requirements that are shown in Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8 of
the Timing Diagrams. The DCLK_RST pulse must be of a
minimum width and its deassertion edge must observe setup
and hold times with respect to the CLK input rising edge.

The buffered analog inputs simplify the task of driving these
inputs and the RC pole that is generally used at sampling ADC
inputs is not required. If it is desired to use an amplifier circuit
before the ADC, use care in choosing an amplifier with adequate noise and distortion performance and adequate gain at
the frequencies used for the application.
Note that a precise d.c. common mode voltage must be
present at the ADC inputs. This common mode voltage,
VCMO, is provided on-chip when a.c. input coupling is used
and the input signal is a.c. coupled to the ADC.
When the inputs are a.c. coupled, the VCMO output must be
grounded, as shown in Figure 11. This causes the on-chip
VCMO voltage to be connected to the inputs through on-chip
50k-Ohm resistors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: An Analog input channel that is not used
(e.g. in DES Mode) should be left floating when the inputs are
a.c. coupled. Do not connect an unused analog input to
ground.
20121455
FIGURE 12. Example of Servoing the Analog Input with
VCMO
One such circuit should be used in front of the VIN+ input and
another in front of the VIN− input. In that figure, RD1, RD2 and
RD3 are used to divide the VCMO potential so that, after being
gained up by the amplifier, the input common mode voltage
is equal to VCMO from the ADC. RD1 and RD2 are split to allow
the bypass capacitor to isolate the input signal from VCMO.
RIN, RD2 and RD3 will divide the input signal, if necessary. Capacitor "C" in Figure 12 should be chosen to keep any component of the input signal from affecting VCMO.
Be sure that the current drawn from the VCMO output does not
exceed 100 μA.
The Input impedance in the d.c. coupled mode (VCMO pin not
grounded) consists of a precision 100Ω resistor between VIN
+ and VIN− and a capacitance from each of these inputs to
ground. In the a.c. coupled mode the input appears the same
except there is also a resistor of 50K between each analog
input pin and the VCMO potential.
Driving the inputs beyond full scale will result in a saturation
or clipping of the reconstructed output.
2.2.1 Handling Single-Ended Input Signals
There is no provision for the ADC08D500 to adequately process single-ended input signals. The best way to handle
single-ended signals is to convert them to differential signals
before presenting them to the ADC. The easiest way to accomplish single-ended to differential signal conversion is with
an appropriate balun-connected transformer, as shown in
Figure 13.
20121444
FIGURE 11. Differential Input Drive
When the d.c. coupled mode is used, a common mode voltage must be provided at the differential inputs. This common
mode voltage should track the VCMO output pin. Note that the
VCMO output potential will change with temperature. The common mode output of the driving device should track this
change.
IMPORTANT NOTE: An analog input channel that is not used
(e.g. in DES Mode) should be tied to the VCMO voltage when
the inputs are d.c. coupled. Do not connect unused analog
inputs to ground.
Full-scale distortion performance falls off rapidly as the
input common mode voltage deviates from VCMO. This is
a direct result of using a very low supply voltage to minimize power. Keep the input common voltage within 50
mV of VCMO.
Performance is as good in the d.c. coupled mode as it is
in the a.c. coupled mode, provided the input common
mode voltage at both analog inputs remain within 50 mV
of VCMO.

ADC08D500
If d.c. coupling is used, it is best to servo the input common
mode voltage with VCMO to maintain optimum performance.
An example of this type of circuit is shown in Figure 12.

(Non-Extended Control Mode, FSR High)

in the analog input offset voltage. To avoid these problems,
keep the clock level within the range specified in the Electrical
Characteristics Table.
The low and high times of the input clock signal can affect the
performance of any A/D Converter. The ADC08D1000 features a duty cycle clock correction circuit which can maintain
performance over temperature even in DES mode. The ADC
will meet its performance specification if the input clock high
and low times are maintained within the range (20/80% ratio)
as specified in the Electrical Characteristics Table.
High speed, high performance ADCs such as the
ADC08D500 require a very stable clock signal with minimum
phase noise or jitter. ADC jitter requirements are defined by
the ADC resolution (number of bits), maximum ADC input frequency and the input signal amplitude relative to the ADC
input full scale range. The maximum jitter (the sum of the jitter
from all sources) allowed to prevent a jitter-induced reduction
in SNR is found to be
at the balun output. Or, 25 Ohms to virtual ground at each of
the balun output terminals.
Looking into the balun, the source sees the impedance of the
first coil in series with the impedance at the output of that coil.
Since the transformer has a 1:1 turns ratio, the impedance
across the first coil is exactly the same as that at the output
of the second coil, namely 25 Ohms to virtual ground. So, the
25 Ohms across the first coil in series with the 25 Ohms at its
output gives 50 Ohms total impedance to match the source.
2.2.2 Out Of Range (OR) Indication
When the conversion result is clipped the Out of Range output
is activated such that OR+ goes high and OR- goes low. This
output is active as long as accurate data on either or both of
the buses would be outside the range of 00h to FFh.
2.2.3 Full-Scale Input Range
As with all A/D Converters, the input range is determined by
the value of the ADC's reference voltage. The reference voltage of the ADC08D500 is derived from an internal band-gap
reference. The FSR pin controls the effective reference voltage of the ADC08D500 such that the differential full-scale
input range at the analog inputs is 870 mVP-P with the FSR
pin high, or is 650 mVP-P with FSR pin low. Best SNR is obtained with FSR high, but better distortion and SFDR are
obtained with the FSR pin low.
tJ(MAX) = (VIN(P-P) / VINFSR) x (1/(2(N+1) x π x fIN))
where tJ(MAX) is the rms total of all jitter sources in seconds,
VIN(P-P) is the peak-to-peak analog input signal, VINFSR is the
full-scale range of the ADC, "N" is the ADC resolution in bits
and fIN is the maximum input frequency, in Hertz, to the ADC
analog input.
Note that the maximum jitter described above is the arithmetic
sum of the jitter from all sources, including that in the ADC
clock, that added by the system to the ADC clock and input
signals and that added by the ADC itself. Since the effective
jitter added by the ADC is beyond user control, the best the
user can do is to keep the sum of the externally added clock
jitter and the jitter added by the analog circuitry to the analog
signal to a minimum.
Clock amplitudes above those specified in the Electrical Characteristics Table may result in increased input offset voltage.
This would cause the converter to produce an output code
other than the expected 127/128 when both input pins are at
the same potential.
2.3 THE CLOCK INPUTS
The ADC08D500 has differential LVDS clock inputs, CLK+
and CLK-, which must be driven with a differential, a.c. coupled clock signal as indicated in Figure 14. Although the
ADC08D500 is tested and its performance is guaranteed with
a differential 500 MHz clock, it typically will function well with
clock frequencies indicated in the Electrical Characteristics
Table. The clock inputs are internally terminated and biased.
Operation up to the sample rates indicated in the Electrical
Characteristics Table is typically possible if the maximum ambient temperatures indicated are not exceeded. Operating at
higher sample rates than indicated for the given ambient temperature may result in reduced device reliability and product
lifetime. This is because of the higher power consumption and
die temperatures at high sample rates. Important also for reliability is proper thermal management . See Section 2.6.2.
2.4 CONTROL PINS
Six control pins (without the use of the serial interface) provide
a wide range of possibilities in the operation of the
ADC08D500 and facilitate its use. These control pins provide
Full-Scale Input Range setting, Self Calibration, Calibration
Delay, Output Edge Synchronization choice, LVDS Output
Level choice and a Power Down feature.
2.4.1 Full-Scale Input Range Setting
The input full-scale range can be selected to be either 650
mVP-P or 870 mVP-P, as selected with the FSR control input
(pin 14) in the Normal Mode of operation. In the Extended
Control Mode, the input full-scale range may be set to be
anywhere from 560 mVP-P to 840 mVP-P. See Section 2.2 for
more information.
20121447
2.4.2 Self Calibration
The ADC08D500 self-calibration must be run to achieve
specified performance. The calibration procedure is run upon
power-up and can be run any time on command. The calibration procedure is exactly the same whether there is a clock
present upon power up or if the clock begins some time after
application of power. The CalRun output indicator is high
while a calibration is in progress. Note that DCLK outputs are
not active during a calibration cycle, therefore it is not recommended as a system clock.
FIGURE 14. Differential (LVDS) Clock Connection
The differential Clock line pair should have a characteristic
impedance of 100Ω and be terminated at the clock source in
that (100Ω) characteristic impedance. The clock line should
be as short and as direct as possible. The ADC08D500 clock
input is internally terminated with an untrimmed 100Ω resistor.
Insufficient clock levels will result in poor dynamic performance. Excessively high clock levels could cause a change
www.national.com
32
2.4.3 Output Edge Synchronization
DCLK signals are available to help latch the converter output
data into external circuitry. The output data can be synchronized with either edge of these clock signals. That is, the
output data transition can be set to occur with either the rising
edge or the falling edge of the DCLK signal, so that either
edge of that clock signal can be used to latch the output data
into the receiving circuit.
When OutEdge (pin 4) is high, the output data is synchronized
with (changes with) the rising edge of the DCLK+ (pin 82).
When OutEdge is low, the output data is synchronized with
the falling edge of DCLK+.
At the very high speeds of which the ADC08D500 is capable,
slight differences in the lengths of the clock and data lines can
mean the difference between successful and erroneous data
capture. The OutEdge pin is used to capture data on the
DCLK edge that best suits the application circuit and layout.
2.4.2.2 On-Command Calibration
An on-command calibration may be run at any time in NORMAL (non-DES) mode only. Do not run a calibration while
operating the ADC in Auto DES Mode.
If the ADC is operating in Auto DES mode and a calibration
cycle is required then the controlling application should bring
the ADC into normal (non DES) mode before an On Command calibration is initiated. Once calibration has completed,
the ADC can be put back into Auto DES mode.
To initiate an on-command calibration, bring the CAL pin high
for a minimum of 80 input clock cycles after it has been low
for a minimum of 80 input clock cycles. Holding the CAL pin
high upon power up will prevent execution of power-on calibration until the CAL pin is low for a minimum of 80 input clock
cycles, then brought high for a minimum of another 80 input
clock cycles. The calibration cycle will begin 80 input clock
cycles after the CAL pin is thus brought high. The CalRun
signal should be monitored to determine when the calibration
cycle has completed. When an on-command calibration is
executed, the CAL pin must be held low for 80 input clock
cycles and then low for 80 input clock cycles before the CalRun pin is activated to indicate that a calibration is taking
place. When the CalRun pin is activated, all outputs including
the DCLK outputs are deactivated and enter a high
impedance state. After the calibration cycle is finished and the
CalRun pin is low, the outputs, including DCLK, are active
again but require a short settling period, typically around
100ns. Because the DCLK outputs are not activated during a
calibration cycle, they are not recommended for use as a system clock.
The minimum 80 input clock cycle sequences are required to
ensure that random noise does not cause a calibration to begin when it is not desired. As mentioned in section 1.1.1 for
best performance, a self calibration should be performed 20
seconds or more after power up and repeated when the operating temperature changes significantly according to the
particular system performance requirements. ENOB drops
slightly as junction temperature increases and executing a
new self calibration cycle will essentially eliminate the
change.
2.4.4 LVDS Output Level Control
The output level can be set to one of two levels with OutV
(pin3). The strength of the output drivers is greater with OutV
high. With OutV low there is less power consumption in the
output drivers, but the lower output level means decreased
noise immunity.
For short LVDS lines and low noise systems, satisfactory performance may be realized with the FSR input low. If the LVDS
lines are long and/or the system in which the ADC08D500 is
used is noisy, it may be necessary to tie the FSR pin high.
2.4.5 Dual Edge Sampling
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using the ADC in Extended Control Mode, the Configuration Register must only be written
when the DES Enable bit = 0. Writing to the Configuration
Register when the DES Enable bit = 1 can cause the internal
DES clock generation circuitry to stop.
The Dual Edge Sampling (DES) feature causes one of the two
input pairs to be routed to both ADCs. The other input pair is
deactivated. One of the ADCs samples the input signal on one
clock edge, the other samples the input signal on the other
clock edge. The result is a 1:4 demultiplexed output with a
sample rate that is twice the input clock frequency.
To use this feature in the non-enhanced control mode, allow
pin 127 to float and the signal at the "I" channel input will be
sampled by both converters. The Calibration Delay will then
only be a short delay.
In the enhanced control mode, either input may be used for
dual edge sampling. See Section 1.1.5.1.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) For the Extended Control Mode - When using the Automatic Clock Phase Control feature in dual edge sampling
mode, it is important that the automatic phase control is disabled (set bit 14 of DES Enable register Dh to 0) before the
ADC is powered up. Not doing so may cause the device not
to wake up from the power down state.
2.4.2.3 Calibration Delay
The CalDly input (pin 127) is used to select one of two delay
times after the application of power to the start of calibration,
as described in Section 1.1.1. The calibration delay values
allow the power supply to come up and stabilize before cali33
www.national.com
ADC08D500
bration takes place. With no delay or insufficient delay, calibration would begin before the power supply is stabilized at
its operating value and result in non-optimal calibration coefficients. If the PD pin is high upon power-up, the calibration
delay counter will be disabled until the PD pin is brought low.
Therefore, holding the PD pin high during power up will further
delay the start of the power-up calibration cycle. The best
setting of the CalDly pin depends upon the power-on settling
time of the power supply.
Note that the calibration delay selection is not possible in the
Extended Control mode and the short delay time is used.
2.4.2.1 Power-On Calibration
Power-on calibration begins after a time delay following the
application of power. This time delay is determined by the
setting of CalDly, as described in the Calibration Delay Section, below.
The calibration process will be not be performed if the CAL
pin is high at power up. In this case, the calibration cycle will
not begin until the on-command calibration conditions are
met. The ADC08D500 will function with the CAL pin held high
at power up, but no calibration will be done and performance
will be impaired. A manual calibration, however, may be performed after powering up with the CAL pin high. See OnCommand Calibration Section 2.4.2.2.
The internal power-on calibration circuitry comes up in an unknown logic state. If the clock is not running at power up and
the power on calibration circuitry is active, it will hold the analog circuitry in power down and the power consumption will
typically be less than 200 mW. The power consumption will
be normal after the clock starts.
ADC08D500
2) For the Non-Extended Control Mode - When the ADC08D1000 is powered up and DES mode is required, ensure
that pin 127 (CalDly/DES/SCS) is initially pulled low during or
after the power up sequence. The pin can then be allowed to
float or be tied to V A / 2 to enter the DES mode. This will ensure that the part enters the DES mode correctly.
3) The automatic phase control should also be disabled if the
input clock is interrupted or stopped for any reason. This is
also the case if a large abrupt change in the clock frequency
occurs.
4) If a calibration of the ADC is required in Auto DES mode,
the device must be returned to the Normal Mode of operation
before performing a calibration cycle. Once the Calibration
has been completed, the device can be returned to the Auto
DES mode and operation can resume.
zeros and when VIN+ and VIN− are equal, the output code will
vary between codes 127 and 128.
2.6 POWER CONSIDERATIONS
A/D converters draw sufficient transient current to corrupt
their own power supplies if not adequately bypassed. A 33 µF
capacitor should be placed within an inch (2.5 cm) of the A/D
converter power pins. A 0.1 µF capacitor should be placed as
close as possible to each VA pin, preferably within one-half
centimeter. Leadless chip capacitors are preferred because
they have low lead inductance.
The VA and VDR supply pins should be isolated from each
other to prevent any digital noise from being coupled into the
analog portions of the ADC. A ferrite choke, such as the JW
Miller FB20009-3B, is recommended between these supply
lines when a common source is used for them.
As is the case with all high speed converters, the ADC08D500
should be assumed to have little power supply noise rejection.
Any power supply used for digital circuitry in a system where
a lot of digital power is being consumed should not be used
to supply power to the ADC08D500. The ADC supplies should
be the same supply used for other analog circuitry, if not a
dedicated supply.
2.4.6 Power Down Feature
The Power Down pins (PD and PDQ) allow the ADC08D500
to be entirely powered down (PD) or the "Q" channel to be
powered down and the "I" channel to remain active. See Section 1.1.7 for details on the power down feature.
The digital data (+/-) output pins are put into a high impedance
state when the PD pin for the respective channel is high. Upon
return to normal operation, the pipeline will contain meaningless information and must be flushed.
If the PD input is brought high while a calibration is running,
the device will not go into power down until the calibration
sequence is complete. However, if power is applied and PD
is already high, the device will not begin the calibration sequence until the PD input goes low. If a manual calibration is
requested while the device is powered down, the calibration
will not begin at all. That is, the manual calibration input is
completely ignored in the power down state.
2.6.1 Supply Voltage
The ADC08D500 is specified to operate with a supply voltage
of 1.9V ±0.1V. It is very important to note that, while this device will function with slightly higher supply voltages, these
higher supply voltages may reduce product lifetime.
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of the
supply voltage or below ground by more than 150 mV, not
even on a transient basis. This can be a problem upon application of power and power shut-down. Be sure that the supplies to circuits driving any of the input pins, analog or digital,
do not come up any faster than does the voltage at the ADC08D500 power pins.
The Absolute Maximum Ratings should be strictly observed,
even during power up and power down. A power supply that
produces a voltage spike at turn-on and/or turn-off of power
can destroy the ADC08D500. The circuit of Figure 15 will provide supply overshoot protection.
Many linear regulators will produce output spiking at poweron unless there is a minimum load provided. Active devices
draw very little current until their supply voltages reach a few
hundred millivolts. The result can be a turn-on spike that can
destroy the ADC08D500, unless a minimum load is provided
for the supply. The 100Ω resistor at the regulator output provides a minimum output current during power-up to ensure
there is no turn-on spiking.
In the circuit of Figure 15, an LM317 linear regulator is satisfactory if its input supply voltage is 4V to 5V . If a 3.3V supply
is used, an LM1086 linear regulator is recommended.
2.5 THE DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The ADC08D1000 demultiplexes the output data of each of
the two ADCs on the die onto two LVDS output buses (total
of four buses, two for each ADC). For each of the two converters, the results of successive conversions started on the
odd falling edges of the CLK+ pin are available on one of the
two LVDS buses, while the results of conversions started on
the even falling edges of the CLK+ pin are available on the
other LVDS bus. This means that, the word rate at each LVDS
bus is 1/2 the ADC08D1000 input clock rate and the two buses must be multiplexed to obtain the entire 1 GSPS conversion result.
Since the minimum recommended input clock rate for this
device is 200 MSPS (normal non DES mode), the effective
rate can be reduced to as low as 100 MSPS by using the
results available on just one of the the two LVDS buses and
a 200 MHz input clock, decimating the 200 MSPS data by two.
There is one LVDS output clock pair (DCLK+/-) available for
use to latch the LVDS outputs on all buses. Whether the data
is sent at the rising or falling edge of DCLK is determined by
the sense of the OutEdge pin, as described in Section 2.4.3.
DDR (Double Data Rate) clocking can also be used. In this
mode a word of data is presented with each edge of DCLK,
reducing the DCLK frequency to 1/4 the input clock frequency.
See the Timing Diagram section for details.
The OutV pin is used to set the LVDS differential output levels.
See Section 2.4.4.
The output format is Offset Binary. Accordingly, a full-scale
input level with VIN+ positive with respect to VIN− will produce
an output code of all ones, a full-scale input level with VIN−
positive with respect to VIN+ will produce an output code of all

Since a large aperture opening may result in poor release, the
aperture opening should be subdivided into an array of smaller openings, similar to the land pattern of Figure 16.
To minimize junction temperature, it is recommended that a
simple heat sink be built into the PCB. This is done by including a copper area of about 2 square inches (6.5 square cm)
on the opposite side of the PCB. This copper area may be
plated or solder coated to prevent corrosion, but should not
have a conformal coating, which could provide some thermal
insulation. Thermal vias should be used to connect these top
and bottom copper areas. These thermal vias act as "heat
pipes" to carry the thermal energy from the device side of the
board to the opposite side of the board where it can be more
effectively dissipated. The use of 9 to 16 thermal vias is recommended.
The thermal vias should be placed on a 1.2 mm grid spacing
and have a diameter of 0.30 to 0.33 mm. These vias should
be barrel plated to avoid solder wicking into the vias during
the soldering process as this wicking could cause voids in the
solder between the package exposed pad and the thermal
land on the PCB. Such voids could increase the thermal resistance between the device and the thermal land on the
board, which would cause the device to run hotter.
If it is desired to monitor die temperature, a temperature sensor may be mounted on the heat sink area of the board near
the thermal vias. .Allow for a thermal gradient between the
temperature sensor and the ADC08D500 die of θJ-PAD times
typical power consumption = 2.8 x 1.6 = 4.5°C. Allowing for a
5.5°C (including an extra 1°C) temperature drop from the die
to the temperature sensor, then, would mean that maintaining
a maximum pad temperature reading of 124.5°C will ensure
that the die temperature does not exceed 130°C, assuming
that the exposed pad of the ADC08D500 is properly soldered
down and the thermal vias are adequate. (The inaccuracy of
the temperature sensor is in addition to the above calculation).
2.6.2 Thermal Management
The ADC08D500 is capable of impressive speeds and performance at very low power levels for its speed. However, the
power consumption is still high enough to require attention to
thermal management. For reliability reasons, the die temperature should be kept to a maximum of 130°C. That is, TA
(ambient temperature) plus ADC power consumption times
θJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance) should not exceed 130°C. This is not a problem if the ambient temperature
is kept to a maximum of +85°C as specified in the Operating
Ratings section.
Please note that the following are general recommendations
for mounting exposed pad devices onto a PCB. This should
be considered the starting point in PCB and assembly process development. It is recommended that the process be
developed based upon past experience in package mounting.
The package of the ADC08D500 has an exposed pad on its
back that provides the primary heat removal path as well as
excellent electrical grounding to the printed circuit board. The
land pattern design for lead attachment to the PCB should be
the same as for a conventional LQFP, but the exposed pad
must be attached to the board to remove the maximum
amount of heat from the package, as well as to ensure best
product parametric performance.
To maximize the removal of heat from the package, a thermal
land pattern must be incorporated on the PC board within the
footprint of the package. The exposed pad of the device must
be soldered down to ensure adequate heat conduction out of
the package. The land pattern for this exposed pad should be
at least as large as the 5 x 5 mm of the exposed pad of the
package and be located such that the exposed pad of the
device is entirely over that thermal land pattern. This thermal
land pattern should be electrically connected to ground. A
clearance of at least 0.5 mm should separate this land pattern
from the mounting pads for the package pins.
2.7 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Proper grounding and routing of all signals are essential to
ensure accurate conversion. A single ground plane should be
used instead of splitting the ground plane into analog and
digital areas.
Since digital switching transients are composed largely of
high frequency components, the skin effect tells us that total
ground plane copper weight will have little effect upon the
logic-generated noise. Total surface area is more important
than is total ground plane volume. Coupling between the typically noisy digital circuitry and the sensitive analog circuitry
can lead to poor performance that may seem impossible to
isolate and remedy. The solution is to keep the analog circuitry well separated from the digital circuitry.
High power digital components should not be located on or
near any linear component or power supply trace or plane that
services analog or mixed signal components as the resulting
common return current path could cause fluctuation in the
analog input “ground” return of the ADC, causing excessive
noise in the conversion result.
Generally, we assume that analog and digital lines should
cross each other at 90° to avoid getting digital noise into the
analog path. In high frequency systems, however, avoid
crossing analog and digital lines altogether. Clock lines
should be isolated from ALL other lines, analog AND digital.
The generally accepted 90° crossing should be avoided as
even a little coupling can cause problems at high frequencies.
Best performance at high frequencies is obtained with a
straight signal path.

ADC08D500
The output drivers should have a supply voltage, VDR, that is
within the range specified in the Operating Ratings table. This
voltage should not exceed the VA supply voltage and should
never spice to a voltage greater than (VA + 100 mV).
If the power is applied to the device without a clock signal
present, the current drawn by the device might be below 200
mA. This is because the ADC08D500 gets reset through
clocked logic and its initial state is random. If the reset logic
comes up in the "on" state, it will cause most of the analog
circuitry to be powered down, resulting in less than 100 mA
of current draw. This current is greater than the power down
current because not all of the ADC is powered down. The device current will be normal after the clock is established.
ADC08D500
Pin 127, if it is high or low in the non-extended control mode,
sets the calibration delay. If pin 127 is floating, the calibration
delay is the same as it would be with this pin low and the
converter performs dual edge sampling (DES).
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces
to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. This is
especially important with the low level drive required of the
ADC08D500. Any external component (e.g., a filter capacitor)
connected between the converter's input and ground should
be connected to a very clean point in the analog ground plane.
All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, etc.) should be
separated from any digital components.
TABLE 7. Extended Control Mode Operation
(Pin 14 Floating)
2.8 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The ADC08D500 is a.c. tested and its dynamic performance
is guaranteed. To meet the published specifications and avoid
jitter-induced noise, the clock source driving the CLK input
must exhibit low rms jitter. The allowable jitter is a function of
the input frequency and the input signal level, as described in
Section 2.3.
It is good practice to keep the ADC clock line as short as possible, to keep it well away from any other signals and to treat
it as a transmission line. Other signals can introduce jitter into
the clock signal. The clock signal can also introduce noise into
the analog path if not isolated from that path.
Best dynamic performance is obtained when the exposed pad
at the back of the package has a good connection to ground.
This is because this path from the die to ground is a lower
impedance than offered by the package pins.
2.9.1 Non-Extended Control Mode Operation
Non-extended control mode operation means that the Serial
Interface is not active and all controllable functions are controlled with various pin settings. That is, the full-scale range,
single-ended or differential input and input coupling (a.c. or
d.c.) are all controlled with pin settings. The non-extended
control mode is used by setting pin 14 high or low, as opposed
to letting it float. Table 6 indicates the pin functions of the ADC08D500 in the non-extended control mode.

Pin 3 can be either high or low in the non-extended control

Section 1.2 for more information.
Pin 4 can be high or low or can be left floating in the nonextended control mode. In the non-extended control mode,
pin 4 high or low defines the edge at which the output data
transitions. See Section 2.4.3 for more information. If this pin
is floating, the output clock (DCLK) is a DDR (Double Data
Rate) clock (see Section 1.1.5.3) and the output edge synchronization is irrelevant since data is clocked out on both
DCLK edges.

registers must be written at least once with the default or desired values before calibration and subsequent use of the
ADC. In addition, the first write to the DES Enable register
(Dh) must load the default value (0x3FFFh). Once all registers
have been written once, other desired settings, including enabling DES can be loaded.
Driving the inputs (analog or digital) beyond the power
supply rails. For device reliability, no input should not go
more than 150 mV below the ground pins or 150 mV above
the supply pins. Exceeding these limits on even a transient
basis may not only cause faulty or erratic operation, but may
impair device reliability. It is not uncommon for high speed
digital circuits to exhibit undershoot that goes more than a volt
below ground. Controlling the impedance of high speed lines
and terminating these lines in their characteristic impedance
should control overshoot.
Care should be taken not to overdrive the inputs of the ADC08D500. Such practice may lead to conversion inaccuracies
and even to device damage.
Incorrect analog input common mode voltage in the d.c.
coupled mode. As discussed in section 1.1.4 and 2.2, the
Input common mode voltage must remain within 50 mV of the
VCMO output, which has a variability with temperature that
must also be tracked. Distortion performance will be degraded if the input common mode voltage is more than 50 mV from
VCMO .
Using an inadequate amplifier to drive the analog input.
Use care when choosing a high frequency amplifier to drive
the ADC08D500 as many high speed amplifiers will have
higher distortion than will the ADC08D500, resulting in overall
system performance degradation.
Driving the VBG pin to change the reference voltage. As
mentioned in Section 2.1, the reference voltage is intended to
be fixed to provide one of two different full-scale values (650
mVP-P and 870 mVP-P). Over driving this pin will not change
the full scale value, but can otherwise upset operation.
Driving the clock input with an excessively high level
signal. The ADC clock level should not exceed the level described in the Operating Ratings Table or the input offset
could change.
Inadequate clock levels. As described in Section 2.3, insufficient clock levels can result in poor performance. Excessive
clock levels could result in the introduction of an input offset.
Using a clock source with excessive jitter, using an excessively long clock signal trace, or having other signals
coupled to the clock signal trace. This will cause the sampling interval to vary, causing excessive output noise and a
reduction in SNR performance.
2.9 USING THE SERIAL INTERFACE
The ADC08D500 may be operated in the non-extended control (non-Serial Interface) mode or in the extended control
mode. Table 6 and Table 7 describe the functions of pins 3,
4, 14 and 127 in the non-extended control mode and the extended control mode, respectively.

Failure to provide adequate heat removal. As described in
Section 2.6.2, it is important to provide adequate heat removal
to ensure device reliability. This can either be done with ad-
