Third Harmonic Distortion (HD3) and IP3 vs. Frequency, Measured Differentially GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8352 is a high performance differential amplifier optimized for RF and IF applications. It achieves better than 80 dB SFDR performance at frequencies up to 200 MHz, and 65 dB beyond 500 MHz, making it an ideal driver for high speed 12-bit to 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Unlike other wideband differential amplifiers, the AD8352 has buffers that isolate the gain setting resistor (RG) from the signal inputs. As a result, the AD8352 maintains a constant 3 kΩ input resistance for gains of 3 dB to 25 dB, easing matching and input drive requirements. The AD8352 has a nominal 100 Ω differential output resistance. The device is optimized for wideband, low distortion performance at frequencies beyond 500 MHz. These attributes, together with its wide gain adjust capability, make this device the amplifier of choice for general-purpose IF and broadband applications where low distortion, noise, and power are critical. It is ideally suited for driving not only ADCs but also mixers, pin diode attenuators, SAW filters, and multi-element discrete devices. The device is available in a compact 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-lead LFCSP and operates over a temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. Rev.

See the Narrow-Band, Third-Order Intermodulation Cancellation section for more information. Though not shown, single tone, third-order optimization can also be improved for narrow-band frequency applications below 180 MHz with the proper selection of CD, and 3 dB to 6 dB of relative third-order improvement can be realized at frequencies below approximately 140 MHz.

Table 5 and Table 6 show the required values for RD and CD for the specified gains to achieve (single tone) third-order distortion reduction at 180 MHz. Figure 23 and Figure 25 show any gain (up to 18 dB) vs. CD for 200 Ω and 1 kΩ loads, respectively. When these values are selected, they result in minimum single tone, third-order distortion at 180 MHz. This frequency point provides the best overall broadband distortion for the specified frequencies below and above this value. For applications above ~300 MHz, CD and RD are not required. See the Specifications section and the third-order harmonic plots for more details (see Figure 12, Figure 14, and Figure 15).

As with differential input drive, the resulting distortion levels at lower frequencies are based on the CD and RD specified in Table 7 and Table 8.

By proper selection of CD (using a fixed 4.3 kΩ RD), IP3s of better than 45 dBm are achieved. This results in degraded out-of-band, third-order frequencies (f2 + 2f1, f1 + 2f2, 3f1 and 3f2).

These four data points (the CD value and associated OIP3 levels) are extrapolated to provide close estimates of OIP3 levels for any specific frequency between 30 MHz and 180 MHz. For frequencies below ~140 MHz, narrowband tuning of OIP3 results in relatively higher OIP3s (vs. the broadband results shown in Table 2 of the specifications). Though not shown, frequencies below 30 MHz also result in improved OIP3s when using proper values for CD. –90 1V p-p OUT 10 70 140 190 240 FREQUENCY (MHz) 05728-025 –100 –110 CD (pF) Open Open 0.2 0.3 0.5 Broadband single tone, third-order harmonic optimization does not necessarily result in optimum (minimum) two tone, thirdorder intermodulation levels.

Narrow-Band CD vs. Frequency for Various Gain Settings HIGH PERFORMANCE ADC DRIVING The AD8352 provides the gain, isolation, and balanced low distortion output levels for efficiently driving wideband ADCs such as the AD9445. Figure 34 and Figure 35 (single and differential input drive) illustrate the typical front-end circuit interface for the AD8352 differentially driving the AD9445 14-bit ADC at 105 MSPS. The AD8352, when used in the single-ended configuration, shows little or no degradation in overall third-order harmonic performance (vs. differential drive). See the Single-Ended Input Operation section. The 100 MHz FFT plots shown in Figure 36 and Figure 37 display the results for the differential configuration. Though not shown, the single-ended, third-order levels are similar. Refer to the Layout and Transmission Line Effects section for more information. The circuit in Figure 35 represents a singleended input to differential output configuration for driving the AD9445. In this case, the input 50 Ω resistor with RN (typically 200 Ω) provide the input impedance match for a 50 Ω system. Again, if input reflections are minimal, this impedance match is not required. A fixed 200 Ω resistor (RN) is required to balance the output voltages that are required for second-order distortion cancellation. RG is the gain setting resistor for the AD8352 with the RD and CD components providing distortion cancellation. The AD9445 presents approximately 2 kΩ in parallel with 5 pF/differential load to the AD8352 and requires a 2.0 V p-p differential signal (VREF = 1 V) between VIN+ and VIN− for a full-scale output operation. These AD8352 simplified circuits provide the gain, isolation, and distortion performance necessary for efficiently driving high linearity converters, such as the AD9445. This device also provides balanced outputs whether driven differentially or singleended, thereby maintaining excellent second-order distortion levels. However, at frequencies above ~100 MHz, due to phaserelated errors, single-ended, second-order distortion is relatively higher. The output of the amplifier is ac-coupled to allow for an optimum common-mode setting at the ADC input. Input ac coupling can be required if the source also requires a commonmode voltage that is outside the optimum range of the AD8352. A VCM common-mode pin is provided on the AD8352 that equally shifts both input and output common-mode levels. Increasing the gain of the AD8352 increases the system noise and, thus, decreases the SNR (3.5 dB at 100 MHz input for Av = 10 dB) of the AD9445 when no filtering is used. Note that amplifier gains from 3 dB to 18 dB, with proper selection of CD and RD, do not appreciably affect distortion levels. These circuits, when configured properly, can result in SFDR performance of better than 87 dBc at 70 MHz and 82 dBc at 180 MHz input. Single-ended drive, with appropriate CD and RD, give similar results for SFDR and thirdorder intermodulation levels shown in these figures. Placing antialiasing filters between the ADC and the amplifier is a common approach for improving overall noise and broadband distortion performance for both band-pass and low-pass applications. For high frequency filtering, matching to the filter is required. The AD8352 maintains a 100 Ω output impedance well beyond most applications and is well-suited to drive most filter configurations with little or no degradation in distortion. The 50 Ω resistor shown in Figure 34 provides a 50 Ω differential input impedance to the source for matching considerations. When the driver is less than one eighth of the wavelength from the AD8352, impedance matching is not required thereby negating the need for this termination resistor. The output 24 Ω resistors provide isolation from the analog-to-digital input. Rev.

Single Tone Distortion AD8352 Driving AD9445, Encode Clock @ 105 MHz with fC @ 100 MHz (AV = 10 dB), See Figure 34 High Q inductive drives and loads, as well as stray transmission line capacitance in combination with package parasitics, can potentially form a resonant circuit at high frequencies resulting in excessive gain peaking or possible oscillation. If RF transmission lines connecting the input or output are used, they should be designed such that stray capacitance at the input/output pins is minimized. In many board designs, the signal trace widths should be minimal where the driver/ receiver is more than one-eighth of the wavelength from the AD8352. This nontransmission line configuration requires that underlying and adjacent ground and low impedance planes be dropped from the signal lines. In a similar fashion, stray capacitance should be minimized near the RG, CD, and RD components and associated traces. This also requires not placing low impedance planes near these components. Refer to the evaluation board layout (Figure 39 and Figure 40) for more information. Excessive stray capacitance at these nodes results in unwanted high frequency distortion. The 0.1 μF supply decoupling capacitors need to be close to the amplifier. This includes Signal Capacitor C2 through Signal Capacitor C5. Parasitic suppressing resistors (R5, R6, R7, and R11) can be used at the device input/output pins. Use 25 Ω series resistors (Size 0402) to adequately de-Q the input and output system from most parasitics without a significant decrease in gain. In general, if proper board layout techniques are used, the suppression resistors are not necessarily required. Output Parasitic Suppression Resistor R7 and Output Parasitic Suppression Resistor R11 can be required for driving some switch capacitor ADCs. These suppressors, with Input C of the converter (and possibly added External Shunt C), help provide charge kickback isolation and improve overall distortion at high encode rates. Rev.

Values Used for 200 Ω and 1000 Ω Loads The AD8352 evaluation board is characterized with two load configurations representing the most common ADC input resistance. The loads chosen are 200 Ω and 1000 Ω using a broadband resistive match. The loading can be changed via R8, R9, and R12 giving the flexibility to characterize the AD8352 evaluation board for the load in any given application. These loads are inherently lossy and thus must be accounted for in overall gain/loss for the entire evaluation board. Measure the gain of the AD8352 with an oscilloscope using the following procedure to determine the actual gain: Component R8 R9 R12 1.

This paddle is internally connected to the ground of the chip. Solder the paddle to the low impedance ground plane on the PCB to ensure the specified electrical performance and to provide thermal relief. To further reduce thermal impedance, it is recommended that the ground planes on all layers under the paddle be stitched together with vias. Rev. B | Page 16 of 20 VINN VINP 3 Rev.
