NSC ADC11DL066

ADC11DL066
Dual 11-Bit, 66 MSPS, 450 MHz Input Bandwidth A/D
Converter w/Internal Reference
General Description
Features
The ADC11DL066 is a dual, low power monolithic CMOS
analog-to-digital converter capable of converting analog input signals into 11-bit digital words at 66 Megasamples per
second (MSPS), minimum. This converter uses a differential,
pipeline architecture with digital error correction and an onchip sample-and-hold circuit to minimize die size and power
consumption while providing excellent dynamic performance
and a 450 MHz Full Power Bandwidth. Operating on a single
3.3V power supply, the ADC11DL066 achieves 10.3 effective
bits and consumes just 686 mW at 66 MSPS, including the
reference current. The Power Down feature reduces power
consumption to 75 mW.
The differential inputs provide a full scale differential input
swing equal to 2 times VREF with the possibility of a singleended input. Full use of the differential input is recommended for optimum performance. The digital outputs from
the two ADCs are available on separate 11-bit buses with an
output data format choice of offset binary or two’s complement.
To ease interfacing to lower voltage systems, the digital
output driver power pins of the ADC11DL066 can be connected to a separate supply voltage in the range of 2.4V to
the digital supply voltage.
This device is available in the 64-lead TQFP package and
will operate over the industrial temperature range of −40˚C to
+85˚C. An evaluation board is available to ease the evaluation process.

Description
ANALOG I/O
Differential analog Inputs. With a 1.0V reference voltage the
differential full-scale input signal level is 2.0 VP-P with each
input pin voltage centered on a common mode voltage, VCM.
The negative input pins may be connected to VCM for
single-ended operation, but a differential input signal is
required for best performance.

VREF
Reference input. This pin should be bypassed to AGND with
a 0.1 µF capacitor when an external reference is used. VREF
is 1.0V nominal and should be between 0.8V to 1.5V.
11
INT/EXT REF
Reference source select pin. With a logic low at this pin the
internal 1.0V reference is selected and the VREF pin need
not be driven. With a logic high on this pin an external
reference voltage should be applied to VREF input pin 7.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. 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 = AGND = DGND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is, VIN < AGND, or VIN > 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.
Note 4: The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150˚C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by TJmax, the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature, (TA), and can be calculated using the formula PDMAX = (TJmax - TA ) / θJA. In the 64-pin
TQFP, θJA is 50˚C/W, so PDMAX = 2 Watts at 25˚C and 800 mW at the maximum operating ambient temperature of 85˚C. Note that the power consumption of this
device under normal operation will typically be about 726 mW (686 typical power consumption + 40 mW TTL output loading). The values for maximum power
dissipation listed above will be reached only when the device is operated in a severe fault condition (e.g. when input or output pins are driven beyond the power
supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is reversed). Obviously, such conditions should always be avoided.
Note 5: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through 0Ω.
Note 6: The 235˚C reflow temperature refers to infrared reflow. For Vapor Phase Reflow (VPR), the following Conditions apply: Maintain the temperature at the top
of the package body above 183˚C for a minimum 60 seconds. The temperature measured on the package body must not exceed 220˚C. Only one excursion above
183˚C is allowed per reflow cycle.
Note 7: The inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes above VA or below GND will not damage this device, provided current is limited per
(Note 3). However, errors in the A/D conversion can occur if the input goes above VA or below GND by more than 100 mV. As an example, if VA is +3.3V, the full-scale
input voltage must be ≤+3.4V to ensure accurate conversions.
20077307
Note 8: To guarantee accuracy, it is required that |VA–VD| ≤ 100 mV and separate bypass capacitors are used at each power supply pin.
Note 9: With the test condition for VREF = +1.0V (2VP-P differential input), the 11-bit LSB is 976 µV.
Note 10: Typical figures are at TJ = 25˚C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality
Level).
Note 11: Integral Non Linearity is defined as the deviation of the analog value, expressed in LSBs, from the straight line that passes through positive and negative
full-scale.
Note 12: Timing specifications are tested at TTL logic levels, VIL = 0.4V for a falling edge and VIH = 2.4V for a rising edge.
Note 13: Optimum performance will be obtained by keeping the reference input in the 0.8V to 1.5V range. The LM4051CIM3-ADJ (SOT-23 package) is
recommended for external reference applications.
Note 14: IDR is the current consumed by the switching of the output drivers and is primarily determined by load capacitance on the output pins, the supply voltage,
VDR, and the rate at which the outputs are switching (which is signal dependent). IDR=VDR(C0 x f0 + C1 x f1 +....C10 x f10) where VDR is the output driver power supply
voltage, Cn is total capacitance on the output pin, and fn is the average frequency at which that pin is toggling.
Note 15: Excludes IDR. See note 14.

APERTURE DELAY is the time after the rising edge of the
clock to when the input signal is acquired or held for conversion.
OFFSET ERROR is the difference between the two input
voltages (VIN+–VIN−) required to cause a transition from
code 1023 to 1024.
APERTURE JITTER (APERTURE UNCERTAINTY) is the
variation in aperture delay from sample to sample. Aperture
jitter manifests itself as noise in the output.
OUTPUT DELAY is the time delay after the rising edge of
the clock before the data update is presented at the output
pins.
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time during one
cycle that a repetitive digital waveform is high to the total
time of one period. The specification here refers to the ADC
clock input signal.
COMMON MODE VOLTAGE (VCM) is the common d.c. voltage applied to both input terminals of the ADC.
OVER RANGE RECOVERY TIME is the time required after
VIN goes from a specified voltage out of the normal input
range to a specified voltage within the normal input range
and the converter makes a conversion with its rated accuracy.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) See CONVERSION LATENCY.
CONVERSION LATENCY is the number of clock cycles
between initiation of conversion and when that data is presented to the output driver stage. Data for any given sample
is available at the output pins the Pipeline Delay plus the
Output Delay after the sample is taken. New data is available
at every clock cycle, but the data lags the conversion by the
pipeline delay.
POSITIVE FULL SCALE ERROR is the difference between
the actual last code transition and its ideal value of 11⁄2 LSB
below positive full scale.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) is a measure of how well the ADC rejects a change in the power
supply voltage. For the ADC11DL066, PSRR1 is the ratio of
the change in Full-Scale Error that results from a change in
the dc power supply voltage, expressed in dB. PSRR2 is a
measure of how well an a.c. signal riding upon the power
supply is rejected at the output.
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in
dB, of the rms value of the input signal to the rms value of the
sum of all other spectral components below one-half the
sampling frequency, not including harmonics or dc.
CROSSTALK is coupling of energy from one channel into
the other channel.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of
the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE
BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise and
Distortion 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 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 as:
Gain Error = Positive Full Scale Error − Offset Error
A gain of unity occurs when the negative and positive full
scale errors are equal to each other, including having the
same sign.
GAIN ERROR MATCHING is the difference in gain errors
between the two converters divided by the average gain of
the converters.
INTEGRAL NON LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the
deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from
negative full scale (1⁄2 LSB below the first code transition)
through positive full scale (1⁄2 LSB above the last code
transition). The deviation of any given code from this straight
line is measured from the center of that code value.
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 intermodulation
products to the total power in 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 VREF/2n,
where “n” is the ADC resolution in bits, which is 11 in the
case of the ADC11DL066.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never
appear at the ADC outputs. The ADC11DL066 is guaranteed
not to have any missing codes.

ADC11DL066
Smaller capacitor values than those specified will allow
faster recovery from the power down mode, but may result in
degraded noise performance. DO NOT LOAD these pins.
Loading any of these pins may result in performance degradation.
Functional Description
Operating on a single +3.3V supply, the ADC11DL066 uses
a pipeline architecture and has error correction circuitry to
help ensure maximum performance. The differential analog
input signal is digitized to 11 bits. The user has the choice of
using an internal 1.0 Volt stable reference or using an external reference. Any external reference is buffered on-chip to
ease the task of driving that pin.
The nominal voltages for the reference bypass pins are as
follows:
VRM = VA / 2
VRP = VRM + VREF / 2
VRN = VRM − VREF / 2
The VRM pins may be used as common mode voltage (VCM)
sources for the analog input pins as long as no d.c. current is
drawn from them. However, because the voltages at the VRM
pins are half that of the VA supply pin, using these pins for
common mode voltage sources will result in reduced input
headroom (the difference between the VA supply voltage
and the peak signal voltage at either analog input) and the
possibility of reduced THD and SFDR performance. For this
reason, it is recommended that VA always exceed VREF by at
least 2 Volts when using the VRM pins as VCM sources. For
high input frequencies it may be necessary to increase this
headroom to maintain THD and SFDR performance.
The output word rate is the same as the clock frequency,
which can be between 15 MSPS and 75 MSPS (typical) with
fully specified performance at 66 Msps. The analog input for
both channels is acquired at the rising edge of the clock and
the digital data for a given sample is delayed by the pipeline
for 6 clock cycles. A choice of Offset Binary or Two’s Complement output format is selected with the OF pin.
A logic high on the power down (PD) pin reduces the converter power consumption to 75 mW.
Applications Information
1.0 OPERATING CONDITIONS
We recommend that the following conditions be observed for
operation of the ADC11DL066:
3.0V ≤ VA ≤ 3.6V
VD = V A
2.4V ≤ VDR ≤ VD
15 MHz ≤ fCLK ≤ 75 MHz
0.8V ≤ VREF ≤ 1.5V
0.5V ≤ VCM ≤ 1.8V
User choice of an on-chip or external reference voltage is
provided. The internal 1.0 Volt reference is in use when the
the INT/EXT REF pin is at a logic low, regardless of any
voltage applied to the VREF pin. When the INT/EXT REF pin
is at a logic high, the voltage at the VREF pin is used for the
voltage reference. Optimum ADC dynamic performance is
obtained when the reference voltage is in the range of 0.8V
to 1.5V. When an external reference is used, the VREF pin
should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor close
to the reference input pin. There is no need to bypass the
VREF pin when the internal reference is used.
There is no direct access to the internal reference voltage.
However the nominal value of the reference voltage,
whether the internal or an external reference is used, is
approximately equal to VRP − VRN.
1.1 Analog Inputs
There is one reference input pin, VREF, for use of an optional
external reference. The ADC11DL066 has two analog signal
input pairs, VIN A+ and VIN A- for one converter and VIN B+
and VIN B- for the other converter. Each pair of pins forms a
differential input pair.
1.3 Signal Inputs
The signal inputs are VIN A+ and VINA− for one ADC and
VINB+ and VINB− for the other ADC . The input signal, VIN, is
defined as
VIN A = (VINA+) – (VINA−)
for the "A" converter and
VIN B = (VINB+) – (VINB−)
for the "B" converter. Figure 2 shows the expected input
signal range. Note that the common mode input voltage,
VCM, should be in the range of 0.5V to 1.8V with a nominal
value of 1.6V.
The peaks of the individual input signals should each never
exceed the voltage described as
Peak Input Voltage = VA – 1.0V
to maintain THD and SINAD performance.
The ADC11DL066 performs best with a differential input
signal with each input centered around a common mode
voltage, VCM. The peak-to-peak voltage swing at each analog input pin should not exceed the value of the reference
voltage or the output data will be clipped.
The two input signals should be exactly 180˚ out of phase
from each other and of the same amplitude. For single
frequency inputs, angular errors result in a reduction of the
effective full scale input. For complex waveforms, however,
angular errors will result in distortion.
1.2 Reference Pins
The ADC11DL066 is designed to operate with a 1.0V reference, but performs well with reference voltages in the range
of 0.8V to 1.5V. Lower reference voltages will decrease the
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the ADC11DL066. Increasing
the reference voltage (and the input signal swing) beyond
1.5V may degrade THD for a full-scale input, especially at
higher input frequencies.
It is important that all grounds associated with the reference
voltage and the analog input signal make connection to the
ground plane at a single, quiet point to minimize the effects
of noise currents in the ground path.
The ADC11DL066 will perform well with reference voltages
up to 1.5V for full-scale input frequencies up to 10 MHz.
However, more headroom is needed as the input frequency
increases, so the maximum reference voltage (and input
swing) will decrease for higher full-scale input frequencies.
The six Reference Bypass Pins (VRPA, VRMA, VRNA, VRPB,
VRMB and VRNB) are made available for bypass purposes.
The VRMA and VRMB pins should each be bypassed to
ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor. A series 1.5Ω resistor (5%)
and 1.0 µF capacitor ( ± 20%) should be placed between the
VRPA and VRNA pins and between the VRPB and VRNB pins,
as shown in Figure 4. This configuration is necessary to
avoid reference oscillation, which could result in reduced
SFDR and/or SNR.

1.3.2 Driving the Analog Inputs
The VIN+ and the VIN− inputs of the ADC11DL066 consist of
an analog switch followed by a switched-capacitor amplifier.
The capacitance seen at the analog input pins changes with
the clock level, appearing as 8 pF when the clock is low, and
7 pF when the clock is high.
As the internal sampling switch opens and closes, current
pulses occur at the analog input pins, resulting in voltage
spikes at the signal input pins. As a driving amplifier attempts
to counteract these voltage spikes, a damped oscillation
may appear at the ADC analog input. Do not attempt to filter
out these pulses. Rather, use amplifiers to drive the
ADC11DL066 input pins that are able to react to these
pluses and settle before the switch opens and another
sample is taken. The LMH6702 LMH6628, LMH6622 and the
LMH6655 are good amplifiers for driving the ADC11DL066.
To help isolate the pulses at the ADC input from the amplifier
output, use RCs at the inputs, as can be seen in Figure 4
and Figure 5 . These components should be placed close to
the ADC inputs because the input pins of the ADC is the
most sensitive part of the system and this is the last opportunity to filter that input.
For Nyquist applications the RC pole should be at the ADC
sample rate. The ADC input capacitance in the sample mode
should be considered when setting the RC pole. For wideband undersampling applications, the RC pole should be set
at about 1.5 to 2 times the maximum input frequency to
maintain a linear delay response.
20077312
FIGURE 3. Angular Errors Between the Two Input
Signals Will Reduce the Output Level or Cause
Distortion
For differential operation, each analog input pin of the differential pair should have a peak-to-peak voltage equal to the
reference voltage, VREF, be 180 degrees out of phase with
each other and be centered around VCM.
1.3.1 Single-Ended Operation
Performance with differential input signals is better than with
single-ended signals. For this reason, single-ended operation is not recommended. However, if single ended-operation
is required and the resulting performance degradation is
acceptable, one of the analog inputs should be connected to
the d.c. mid point voltage of the driven input. The peak-topeak differential input signal at the driven input pin should be
twice the reference voltage to maximize SNR and SINAD
performance (Figure 2b). For example, set VREF to 0.5V,
bias VIN− to 1.5V and drive VIN+ with a signal range of 1.0V
to 2.0V.
Because very large input signal swings can degrade distortion performance, better performance with a single-ended
input can be obtained by reducing the reference voltage
when maintaining a full-range output. Table 1 and Table 2
indicate the input to output relationship of the ADC11DL066.

Applications Information
The duty cycle of the clock signal can affect the performance
of the A/D Converter. Because achieving a precise duty
cycle is difficult, the ADC11DL066 is designed to maintain
performance over a range of duty cycles. While it is specified
and performance is guaranteed with a 50% clock duty cycle,
performance is typically maintained over a clock duty cycle
range of 43% to 57% at 66 MSPS.

A single-ended to differential conversion circuit is shown in

2.2 OEA, OEB
The OEA and OEB pins, when high, put the output pins of
their respective converters into a high impedance state.
When either of these pin is low, the corresponding outputs
are in the active state. The ADC11DL066 will continue to
convert whether these pins are high or low, but the output
can not be read while the pin is high.
Since ADC noise increases with increased output capacitance at the digital output pins, do not use the TRI-STATE
outputs of the ADC11DL066 to drive a bus. Rather, each
output pin should be located close to and drive a single
digital input pin. To further reduce ADC noise, a 100 Ω
resistor in series with each ADC digital output pin, located
close to their respective pins, should be added to the circuit.
R5, R6
1.3.3 Input Common Mode Voltage
The input common mode voltage, VCM, should be in the
range of 0.5V to 1.8V and be a value such that the peak
excursions of the analog signal does not go more negative
than ground or more positive than one Volt below the VA
supply voltage. The nominal VCM should generally be about
1.0V, but VRM or VRN can be used as a VCM source as long
as no d.c. current is drawn from either of these pins. See
Section 1.2
2.3 PD
The PD pin, when high, holds the ADC11DL066 in a powerdown mode to conserve power when the converter is not
being used. The power consumption in this state is 75 mW
with a 66MHz clock and 40mW if the clock is stopped when
PD is high. The output data pins are undefined and the data
in the pipeline is corrupted while in the power down mode.
The Power Down Mode Exit Cycle time is determined by the
value of the components on pins 4, 5, 6, 12, 13 and 14 and
is about 500 µs with the recommended components on the
VRP, VRM and VRN reference bypass pins. These capacitors
loose their charge in the Power Down mode and must be
recharged by on-chip circuitry before conversions can be
accurate. Smaller capacitor values allow slightly faster recovery from the power down mode, but can result in a
reduction in SNR, SINAD and ENOB performance.
2.0 DIGITAL INPUTS
Digital TTL/CMOS compatible inputs consist of CLK, OEA,
OEB, OF, INT/EXT REF and PD.
2.1 CLK
The CLK signal controls the timing of the sampling process.
Drive the clock input with a stable, low jitter clock signal in
the range of 15 MHz to 75 MHz with rise and fall times of 2
ns or less. The trace carrying the clock signal should be as
short as possible and should not cross any other signal line,
analog or digital, not even at 90˚.
The CLK signal also drives an internal state machine. If the
CLK is interrupted, or its frequency too low, the charge on
internal capacitors can dissipate to the point where the accuracy of the output data will degrade. This is what limits the
lowest sample rate to 15 MSPS.
The clock line should be terminated at its source in the
characteristic impedance of that line. Take care to maintain a
constant clock line impedance throughout the length of the
line. Refer to Application Note AN-905 for information on
setting characteristic impedance.
It is highly desirable that the the source driving the ADC CLK
pin only drive that pin. However, if that source is used to
drive other things, each driven pin should be a.c. terminated
with a series RC to ground, as shown in Figure 4, such that
the resistor value is equal to the characteristic impedance of
the clock line and the capacitor value is
2.4 OF
The output data format is offset binary when the OF pin is at
a logic low or 2’s complement when the OF pin is at a logic
high. While the sense of this pin may be changed "on the fly,"
doing this is not recommended as the output data could be
erroneous for a few clock cycles after this change is made.
2.5 INT/EXT REF
The INT/EXT REF pin determines whether the internal reference or an external reference voltage is used. With this pin
at a logic low, the internal 1.0V reference is in use. With this
pin at a logic high an external reference must be applied to
the VREF pin, which should then be bypassed to ground.
There is no need to bypass the VREF pin when the internal
reference is used. There is no access to the internal reference voltage, but its value is approximately equal to VRP −
VRN.
3.0 OUTPUTS
The ADC11DL066 has 11 TTL/CMOS compatible Data Output pins. Valid data is present at these outputs while the OE
and PD pins are low. While the tOD time provides information
about output timing, a simple way to capture a valid output is
to latch the data on the falling edge of the conversion clock
(pin 10).
where tPD is the signal propagation rate down the clock line,
"L" is the line length and ZO is the characteristic impedance
of the clock line. This termination should be as close as
possible to the ADC clock pin but beyond it as seen from the
clock source. Typical tPD is about 150 ps/inch (60 ps/cm) on
FR-4 board material. The units of "L" and tPD should be the
same (inches or centimeters).

output data. The result could be an apparent reduction in
dynamic performance.
(Continued)
Be very careful when driving a high capacitance bus. The
more capacitance the output drivers must charge for each
conversion, the more instantaneous digital current flows
through VDR and DR GND. These large charging current
spikes can cause on-chip ground noise and couple into the
analog circuitry, degrading dynamic performance. Adequate
bypassing, limiting output capacitance and careful attention
to the ground plane will reduce this problem. Additionally,
bus capacitance beyond the specified 15 pF/pin will cause
tOD to increase, making it difficult to properly latch the ADC
To minimize noise due to output switching, minimize the load
currents at the digital outputs. This can be done by connecting buffers (74ACQ541, for example) between the ADC outputs and any other circuitry. Only one driven input should be
connected to each output pin. Additionally, inserting series
resistors of about 100Ω at the digital outputs, close to the
ADC pins, will isolate the outputs from trace and other circuit
capacitances and limit the output currents, which could otherwise result in performance degradation. See Figure 4.

FIGURE 5. Differential Drive Circuit of Figure 4
Digital circuits create substantial supply and ground current
transients. The logic noise thus generated could have significant impact upon system noise performance. The best
logic family to use in systems with A/D converters is one
which employs non-saturating transistor designs, or has low
noise characteristics, such as the 74LS, 74HC(T) and
74AC(T)Q families. The worst noise generators are logic
families that draw the largest supply current transients during clock or signal edges, like the 74F and the 74AC(T)
families.
4.0 POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
The power supply pins should be bypassed with a 10 µF
capacitor and with a 0.1 µF ceramic chip capacitor within a
centimeter of each power pin. Leadless chip capacitors are
preferred because they have low series inductance.
As is the case with all high-speed converters, the
ADC11DL066 is sensitive to power supply noise. Accordingly, the noise on the analog supply pin should be kept
below 100 mVP-P.
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of
the supply voltages, not even on a transient basis. Be especially careful of this during power turn on and turn off.
The VDR pin provides power for the output drivers and may
be operated from a supply in the range of 2.4V to VD. This
can simplify interfacing to lower voltage devices and systems. Note, however, that tOD increases with reduced VDR.
DO NOT operate the VDR pin at a voltage higher than VD.
The effects of the noise generated from the ADC output
switching can be minimized through the use of 100Ω resistors in series with each data output line. Locate these resistors as close to the ADC output pins as possible.
Since digital switching transients are composed largely of
high frequency components, total ground plane copper
weight will have little effect upon the logic-generated noise.
This is because of the skin effect. Total surface area is more
important than is total ground plane volume.
Generally, analog and digital lines should cross each other at
90˚ to avoid crosstalk. To maximize accuracy in high speed,
high resolution systems, however, avoid crossing analog and
digital lines altogether. It is important to keep clock lines as
short as possible and isolated from ALL other lines, including
other digital lines. Even the generally accepted 90˚ crossing
should be avoided with the clock line as even a little coupling
can cause problems at high frequencies. This is because
other lines can introduce jitter into the clock line, which can
lead to degradation of SNR. Also, the high speed clock can
introduce noise into the analog chain.
Best performance at high frequencies and at high resolution
is obtained with a straight signal path. That is, the signal path
through all components should form a straight line wherever
possible.
5.0 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essential to ensure accurate conversion. Maintaining separate
analog and digital areas of the board, with the ADC11DL066
between these areas, is required to achieve specified performance.
The ground return for the data outputs (DR GND) carries the
ground current for the output drivers. The output current can
exhibit high transients that could add noise to the conversion
process. To prevent this from happening, the DR GND pins
should NOT be connected to system ground in close proximity to any of the ADC11DL066’s other ground pins.
Capacitive coupling between the typically noisy digital circuitry and the sensitive analog circuitry can lead to poor
performance. The solution is to keep the analog circuitry
separated from the digital circuitry, and to keep the clock line
as short as possible.

FIGURE 6. Example of a Suitable Layout
Be especially careful with the layout of inductors. Mutual
inductance can change the characteristics of the circuit in
which they are used. Inductors should not be placed side by
side, even with just a small part of their bodies beside each
other.
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces
to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. Any
external component (e.g., a filter capacitor) connected between the converter’s input pins and ground or to the reference input pin and ground should be connected to a very
clean point in the ground plane.
Figure 6 gives an example of a suitable layout. All analog
circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, reference components, etc.)
should be placed in the analog area of the board. All digital
circuitry and I/O lines should be placed in the digital area of
the board. The ADC11DL066 should be between these two
areas. Furthermore, all components in the reference circuitry
and the input signal chain that are connected to ground
should be connected together with short traces and enter the
ground plane at a single, quiet point. All ground connections
should have a low inductance path to ground.
6.0 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
To achieve the best dynamic performance, the clock source
driving the CLK input must be free of jitter. Isolate the ADC
clock from any digital circuitry with buffers, as with the clock
tree shown in Figure 7. The gates used in the clock tree must
be capable of operating at frequencies much higher than
those used if added jitter is to be prevented.
Best performance will be obtained with a differential input
drive, compared with a single-ended drive, as discussed in
Sections 1.3.1 and 1.3.2.
As mentioned in Section 5.0, it is good practice to keep the
ADC clock line as short as possible and to keep it well away
from any other signals. Other signals can introduce jitter into
the clock signal, which can lead to reduced SNR performance, and the clock can introduce noise into other lines.
Even lines with 90˚ crossings have capacitive coupling, so
try to avoid even these 90˚ crossings of the clock line.

www.national.com
ADC11DL066
Applications Information
The digital data outputs should be buffered (with 74ACQ541,
for example). Dynamic performance can also be improved
by adding series resistors at each digital output, close to the
ADC11DL066, which reduces the energy coupled back into
the converter output pins by limiting the output current. A
reasonable value for these resistors is 100Ω.
(Continued)
Using an inadequate amplifier to drive the analog input.
As explained in Section 1.3, the capacitance seen at the
input alternates between 8 pF and 7 pF, depending upon the
phase of the clock. This dynamic load is more difficult to
drive than is a fixed capacitance.
If the amplifier exhibits overshoot, ringing, or any evidence of
instability, even at a very low level, it will degrade performance. A small series resistor at each amplifier output and a
capacitor at the analog inputs (as shown in Figure 4 and
Figure 5) will improve performance. The LMH6702 and the
LMH6628 have been successfully used to drive the analog
inputs of the ADC11DL066.

Also, it is important that the signals at the two inputs have
exactly the same amplitude and be exactly 180o out of phase
with each other. Board layout, especially equality of the
length of the two traces to the input pins, will affect the
effective phase between these two signals. Remember that
an operational amplifier operated in the non-inverting configuration will exhibit more time delay than will the same
device operating in the inverting configuration.
Operating with the reference pins outside of the specified range. As mentioned in Section 1.2, VREF should be in
the range of
0.8V ≤ VREF ≤ 1.5V
Operating outside of these limits could lead to performance
degradation.
Inadequate network on Reference Bypass pins (VRPA,
VRNA, VRMA, VRPB, VRNB and VRMB). As mentioned in
Section 1.2, these pins should be bypassed with 0.1 µF
capacitors to ground at VRMA and VRMB and with a series
RC of 1.5 Ω and 1.0 µF between pins VRPA and VRNA and
between VRPB and VRNB for best performance.
Using a clock source with excessive jitter, using 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 and SINAD performance.
7.0 COMMON APPLICATION PITFALLS
Driving the inputs (analog or digital) beyond the power
supply rails. For proper operation, all inputs should not go
more than 100 mV beyond the supply rails (more than
100 mV below the ground pins or 100 mV above the supply
pins). Exceeding these limits on even a transient basis may
cause faulty or erratic operation. It is not uncommon for high
speed digital components (e.g., 74F and 74AC devices) to
exhibit overshoot or undershoot that goes above the power
supply or below ground. A resistor of about 47Ω to 100Ω in
series with any offending digital input, close to the signal
source, will eliminate the problem.
Do not allow input voltages to exceed the supply voltage,
even on a transient basis. Not even during power up or
power down.
Be careful not to overdrive the inputs of the ADC11DL066
with a device that is powered from supplies outside the
range of the ADC11DL066 supply. Such practice may lead to
conversion inaccuracies and even to device damage.
Attempting to drive a high capacitance digital data bus.
The more capacitance the output drivers must charge for
each conversion, the more instantaneous digital current
flows through VDR and DR GND. These large charging current spikes can couple into the analog circuitry, degrading
dynamic performance. Adequate bypassing and maintaining
separate analog and digital areas on the pc board will reduce
this problem.
Additionally, bus capacitance beyond the specified 15 pF/pin
will cause tOD to increase, making it difficult to properly latch
the ADC output data. The result could, again, be an apparent
reduction in dynamic performance.
