3V Dual 8-Bit, 20/40/60MSPS A/D
Converter with Internal Voltage Reference
The ISL5640 is a monolithic, dual 8-bit analog-to-digital
converter fabricated in an advanced CMOS process. It is
designed for high speed applications where integration,
bandwidth and accuracy are essential. The ISL5640
features a 9-stage pipeline architecture. The fully pipelined
architecture and an innovative input stage enable the
ISL5640 to accept a variety of input configurations, singleended or fully differential. Only one external clock is
necessary to drive both converters and an internal band-gap
voltage reference is provided. This allows the system
designer to realize an increased level of system integration
resulting in decreased cost and power dissipation.

Detailed Description
Φ1
Theory of Operation
The ISL5640 is a dual 8-bit fully differential sampling pipeline
A/D converter with digital error correction logic. Figure 3
depicts the circuit for the front end differential-in-differentialout sample-and-hold (S/H) amplifiers. The switches are
controlled by an internal sampling clock which is a nonoverlapping two phase signal, Φ1 and Φ2 , derived from the
master sampling clock. During the sampling phase, Φ1 , the
input signal is applied to the sampling capacitors, CS . At the
same time the holding capacitors, CH , are discharged to
analog ground. At the falling edge of Φ1 the input signal is
sampled on the bottom plates of the sampling capacitors. In
the next clock phase, Φ2 , the two bottom plates of the
sampling capacitors are connected together and the holding
capacitors are switched to the op amp output nodes. The
charge then redistributes between CS and CH completing one
sample-and-hold cycle. The front end sample-and-hold output
is a fully-differential, sampled-data representation of the
analog input. The circuit not only performs the sample-andhold function but will also convert a single-ended input to a
fully-differential output for the converter core. During the
sampling phase, the I/QIN pins see only the on-resistance of a
switch and CS . The relatively small values of these
components result in a typical full power input bandwidth of
400MHz for the converter.

FIGURE 3. ANALOG INPUT SAMPLE-AND-HOLD
As illustrated in the Functional Block Diagram and the timing
diagram in Figure 1, eight identical pipeline subconverter
stages, each containing a two-bit flash converter and a twobit multiplying digital-to-analog converter, follow the S/H
circuit with the ninth stage being a two bit flash converter.
Each converter stage in the pipeline will be sampling in one
phase and amplifying in the other clock phase. Each
individual subconverter clock signal is offset by 180 degrees
from the previous stage clock signal resulting in alternate
stages in the pipeline performing the same operation.
The output of each of the eight identical two-bit subconverter
stages is a two-bit digital word containing a supplementary bit
to be used by the digital error correction logic. The output of
each subconverter stage is input to a digital delay line which is
controlled by the internal sampling clock. The function of the
digital delay line is to time align the digital outputs of the eight
identical two-bit subconverter stages with the corresponding
output of the ninth stage flash converter before applying the
eighteen bit result to the digital error correction logic. The
digital error correction logic uses the supplementary bits to
correct any error that may exist before generating the final ten
bit digital data output of the converter.
Because of the pipeline nature of this converter, the digital
data representing an analog input sample is output to the
digital data bus following the 6th cycle of the clock after the
3-8
ISL5640
analog sample is taken (see the timing diagram in Figure 1).
This time delay is specified as the data latency. After the
data latency time, the digital data representing each
succeeding analog sample is output during the following
clock cycle. The digital output data is provided in offset
binary format (see Table 1, A/D Code Table).
Internal Reference Voltage Output, VROUT
The ISL5640 is equipped with an internal 1.25V bandgap
reference voltage generator, therefore, no external reference
voltage is required. VROUT should be connected to VRIN
when using the internal reference voltage. An external, usersupplied, 0.1µF capacitor may be connected from the VROUT
output pin to filter any stray board noise.
Reference Voltage Inputs, I/Q VREFIN
The ISL5640 is designed to accept a 1.25V reference
voltage source at the VRIN input pins for the I and Q
channels. Typical operation of the converter requires VRIN to
be set at 1.25V. The ISL5640 is tested with VRIN connected
to VROUT yielding a fully differential analog input voltage
range of ±0.5V.
The user does have the option of supplying an external 1.25V
reference voltage. As a result of the high input impedance
presented at the VRIN input pin, MΩ typically, the external
reference voltage being used is only required to source small
amount of reference input current.
In order to minimize overall converter noise it is
recommended that adequate high frequency decoupling be
provided at the reference voltage input pin, VRIN .
For the AC coupled differential input (Figure 4) and with VRIN
connected to VROUT, full scale is achieved when the VIN and
-VIN input signals are 0.5VP-P, with -VIN being 180 degrees
out of phase with VIN . The converter will be at positive full
scale when the I/QIN+ input is at I/QVRIN + 0.25V and the
I/QIN- input is at I/QVRIN - 0.25V (I/QIN+ - I/QIN- = +0.5V).
Conversely, the converter will be at negative full scale when
the I/QIN+ input is equal to I/QVRIN - 0.25V and I/QIN- is at
I/QVRIN + 0.25V (I/QIN+ - I/QIN- = -0.5V).
The analog input can be DC coupled (Figure 5) as long as
the inputs are within the analog input common mode voltage
range (0.25V ≤ VDC ≤ 2.75V).
The resistors, R, in Figure 5 are not absolutely necessary
but may be used as load setting resistors. A capacitor, C,
connected from I/QIN+ to I/QIN- will help filter any high
frequency noise on the inputs, also improving performance.
Values around 20pF are sufficient and can be used on AC
coupled inputs as well. Note, however, that the value of
capacitor C chosen must take into account the highest
frequency component of the analog input signal.

Analog Input, Differential Connection
The analog input of the ISL5640 is a differential input that
can be configured in various ways depending on the signal
source and the required level of performance. A fully
differential connection (Figure 4 and Figure 5) will deliver the
best performance from the converter.

Since the ISL5640 is powered by a single +3V analog
supply, the analog input is limited to be between ground and
+3V. For the differential input connection this implies the
analog input common mode voltage can range from 0.25V to
2.75V. The performance of the ADC does not change
significantly with the value of the analog input common
mode voltage.
Again, with VRIN connected to VROUT, if VIN is a 1VP-P
sinewave, then I/QIN+ is a 1.0VP-P sinewave riding on a
positive voltage equal to VDC . The converter will be at
positive full scale when I/QIN+ is at VDC + 0.5V (I/QIN+ I/QIN- = +0.5V) and will be at negative full scale when I/QIN+
is equal to VDC - 0.5V (I/QIN+ - I/QIN- = -0.5V). Sufficient

headroom must be provided such that the input voltage
never goes above +3V or below AGND. In this case, VDC
could range between 0.5V and 2.5V without a significant
change in ADC performance. The simplest way to produce
VDC is to use the I/QVRIN bias source, I/QVDC , output of
the ISL5640.
The single ended analog input can be DC coupled (Figure 7)
as long as the input is within the analog input common mode
voltage range.

Sampling Clock Requirements

FIGURE 7. DC COUPLED SINGLE ENDED INPUT
The resistor, R, in Figure 7 is not absolutely necessary but
may be used as a load setting resistor. A capacitor, C,
connected from I/QIN+ to I/QIN- will help filter any high
frequency noise on the inputs, also improving performance.
Values around 20pF are sufficient and can be used on AC
coupled inputs as well. Note, however, that the value of
capacitor C chosen must take into account the highest
frequency component of the analog input signal.
A single ended source may give better overall system
performance if it is first converted to differential before
driving the ISL5640.
Operational Mode
The ISL5640 contains several operational modes including a
normal two channel operation, placing one or both channels
in standby and delaying the Q channel data 1/2 clock cycle.
The operational mode is selected via the S1 and S2 pins and
is asynchronous to either clock. When either channel is
placed in standby, the output data is stalled and not high
impedance. When recovering from standby, valid data is
available after 20 clock cycles.
In order to ensure rated performance of the ISL5640, the
duty cycle of the clock should be held at 50% ±5%. It must
also have low jitter and operate at standard TTL/CMOS
levels.
Performance of the ISL5640 will only be guaranteed at
conversion rates above 1MSPS (Typ). This ensures proper
performance of the internal dynamic circuits. Similarly, when
power is first applied to the converter, a maximum of 20
cycles at a sample rate above 1MSPS must be performed
before valid data is available.
Supply and Ground Considerations
The ISL5640 has separate analog and digital supply and
ground pins to keep digital noise out of the analog signal
path. The part should be mounted on a board that provides
separate low impedance connections for the analog and
digital supplies and grounds. For best performance, the
supplies to the ISL5640 should be driven by clean, linear
regulated supplies. The board should also have good high
frequency decoupling capacitors mounted as close as
possible to the converter. If the part is powered off a single
supply then the analog supply can be isolated by a ferrite
bead from the digital supply.
Refer to the application note “Using Intersil High Speed A/D
Converters” (AN9214) for additional considerations when
using high speed converters.
The delay mode can be used to set the Q channel 180
degrees out phase of the I channel if the same clock is
driving both channels. If separate, inverted clocks are used
for the I and Q channels, this feature can be used to align the
data.
