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.

VINA+
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. The values
for maximum power dissipation will only be reached 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.

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.
APERTURE JITTER (APERTURE UNCERTAINTY) is the
variation in aperture delay from sample to sample. Aperture
jitter manifests itself as noise in the output.
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.
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.
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:
G.E. = Pos. Full-Scale Error − Neg. Full-Scale Error
Gain Error can also be separated into Positive Gain Error
(PGE) and Negative Gain Error (NGE), which are.
PGE = Pos. Full-Scale Error − Offset Error
NGE = Offset Error − Neg. Full-Scale Error
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 (½ LSB below the first code transition) through positive full scale (½ 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.
where F1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output) frequency and f2 through f10 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 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 at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic level
at the output.

ADC11DL066
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 is the difference between
the actual first code transition and its ideal value of ½ LSB
above negative full scale.
OFFSET ERROR is the difference between the two input
voltages [(VIN+) – (VIN−)] required to cause a transition from
code 1023 to 1024.
OUTPUT DELAY is the time delay after the rising edge of the
clock before the data update is presented at the output pins.
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.
POSITIVE FULL SCALE ERROR is the difference between
the actual last code transition and its ideal value of 1½ 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
d.c. 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 d.c.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/N+D or
SINAD) Is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the
input signal 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 and the peak spurious signal, where a spurious signal
is any signal present in the output spectrum that is not present
at the input and may or may not be a harmonic.
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
is calculated as

ADC11DL066
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.
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.
ADC11DL066 does not have a reference output pin.
The nominal voltages for the reference bypass pins are as
follows:
VRMA = VRMB = VA / 2
VRPA = VRPB = VRM + VREF / 2
VRNA = VRNB = 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.
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.
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 output word rate is the same as the clock frequency,
which can be between 15 Msps (typical) and 66 Msps with
fully specified performance at 66 Msps. The analog input voltage 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 = VA
2.4V ≤ VDR ≤ VD
15 MHz ≤ fCLK ≤ 66 MHz
0.8V ≤ VREF ≤ 1.5V
VREF/2 ≤ VCM ≤ 1.2V
1.1 Analog Inputs
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. There is one reference input pin, VREF, for use of an optional external reference.
The analog input circuitry contains an input boost circuit that
provides improved linearity over a wide range of analog input
voltages. To prevent an on-chip over voltage condition that
could impair device reliability, the input signal should never
exceed the voltage described as
Peak VIN ≤ VA − 1.0V.
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
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 and SFDR 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
www.national.com
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 1.5V with a nominal value of 1.0V.
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.

1.3.2 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 these pins. As a driving amplifier attempts to counteract these voltage spikes, a damped oscillation may appear
at the ADC analog inputs. 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 LMH6550,
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. Setting the
pole in this manner will provide best SNR performance.
To obtain best SINAD and ENOB performance, reduce the
RC time constant until SNR and THD are numerically equal
to each other. To obtain best distortion and SFDR performance, eliminate the RC altogether
20077312
FIGURE 3. Angular Errors Between the Two Input Signals
Will Reduce the Output Level or Cause Distortion
1.3.1 Single-Ended Operation
Single-ended performance is inferior to performance obtained
when differential input signals are used. 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-to-peak 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 1.0V and drive VIN+ with a signal range of
0.5V to 1.5V.
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. Note
again that single-ended operation of the ADC11DL066 is not
recommended because of the degraded performance that results. A single-ended to differential conversion circuit is
shown in Figure 5

FIGURE 5. Differential Drive Circuit using a fully differential amplifier.
For 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.
Note that the ADC11DL066 is not designed to operate with
single-ended inputs. However, doing so is possible if the degraded performance is acceptable. See Section 1.3.1.

or very low frequencies must be accommodated. Of course,
the LMH6550 may also be used to amplify differential signals.
1.3.3 Input Common Mode Voltage
The input common mode voltage, VCM, should be of a value
such that the peak excursions of the analog signal does not
go more negative than ground or more positive than 1.0 Volt
below the VA supply voltage. The nominal VCM should gener18
2.0 DIGITAL INPUTS
Digital TTL/CMOS compatible inputs consist of CLK, OEA,
OEB, OF, INT/EXT REF and PD.
2.3 The PD Pin
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.
2.1 The CLK Pin
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°.
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.
The ADC clock line should be considered to be a transmission
line and be series terminated at the source end to match the
source impedance with the characteristic impedance of the
clock line. It generally is not necessary to terminate the far
(ADC) end of the clock line, but if a single clock source is
driving more than one device (a condition that is generally not
recommended), far end termination may be needed. The far
end termination should be near but beyond the ADC clock pin
as seen from the clock source.
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 The OF Pin
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 The INT/EXT REF Pin
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.
where tPD is the signal propagation time in ns/unit length, "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).
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.
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.
3.0 OUTPUTS
The ADC11DL066 has 22 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, tOD will change with a change of clock
frequency. At the rated 66 MHz clock rate, the data transition
can be coincident with the rise of the clock and about 7 ns
before the fall of the clock (depending upon VDR), so the falling
edge of the clock should be used to capture the output data.
At lower clock frequencies the data transition occurs a little
after the rising edge of the clock, but the fall of the clock still
appears to be the best edge for data capture. However, circuit
board layout will affect relative delays of the clock and data,
so it is important to consider these relative delays when designing the digital interface.
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 output
data. The result could be an apparent reduction in dynamic
performance.
2.2 The OEA, OEB Pins
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
19
www.national.com
ADC11DL066
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.
ally be about VREF/2, but VRBA and VRBB can be used as a
VCM source as long as no d.c. current is drawn from either of
these pins.
ADC11DL066
To minimize noise due to output switching, minimize the load
currents at the digital outputs. This can be done by connecting
buffers (74AC541, 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.
Note that, although the ADC11DL066 has Tri-State outputs,
these outputs should not be used to drive a bus and the
charging and discharging of large capacitances can degrade
SNR performance. Each output pin should drive only one pin
of a receiving device and the interconnecting lines should be
as short as practical.
The VDR pin provides power for the output drivers and may be
operated from a supply in the range of 2.4V to VD (nominal
5V). 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 .
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.
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.
20077316
FIGURE 6. Example of a Suitable Layout
www.national.com
20
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.
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 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 t OD to increase, making it difficult to properly latch
the ADC output data. The result could, again, be an apparent
reduction in dynamic performance.
The digital data outputs should be buffered (with 74AC541,
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.
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 opera-
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 a clock tree must
be capable of operating at frequencies much higher than
those used if added jitter is to be prevented.
20077317
FIGURE 7. Clock Tree for Clock Isolation

www.national.com
ADC11DL066
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 or high resolution is
obtained with a straight signal path. That is, the signal path
through all components should be a straight line wherever
possible.
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.
ADC11DL066
tional 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
tion 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.
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 Sec-
