ADC1xD1x00 Pin Compatibility National Semiconductor Application Note 2128 Marjorie Plisch March 8, 2011 ADC1xD1x00 Pin Compatibility In order to facilitate upgrading applications from a 10-bit Gig ADC to a 12-bit Gig ADC, the ADC10D1x00 (ADC10D1500/ ADC10D1000) is designed to be pin-compatible with the ADC12D1x00 (ADC12D1800/1600/1000). This means that a single board layout may be designed with both resolution ADCs in mind for more cost efficient and time-to-market product development. ADC10D1x00 vs. ADC12D1x00 The only difference on the pin-out between the ADC10D1x00 and the ADC12D1x00 is that the ADC12D1x00 has two additional data bits for each output data bank. Bits<11:2> for the ADC12D1x00 correspond to Bits<9:0> for the ADC10D1x00. The placeholders for the two additional bits for the ADC12D1x00 are labeled as RSV bits on the ADC10D1x00. The RSV bits on the ADC10D1x00 correspond to the two LSB, Bits<1:0>, on the ADC12D1x00, see Table 1. TABLE 1. ADC1xD1x00 LSB Pins Ball No. ADC10D1x00 Name ADC12D1x00 Name 30153301 FIGURE 1.

These exceptions are listed below in Table 2. Historically, the exceptions exist because the Reference Board was developed before silicon development was finalized. In every case, it is correct to follow the datasheet recommendation. ‘DNC’ stands for ‘Do Not Connect’ and ‘NC’ stands for ‘Not Connected.’ C10/D10 RSV1+/- DId1+/- TABLE 2. Datasheet vs. RB Comparison A10/B10 RSV0+/- DId0+/- V10/U10 RSV7+/- DQd1+/- Terminating RSV pins on the ADC10D1x00 The RSV pins may be terminated in a way which makes one board usable for both ADC10D1x00 and ADC12D1x00, see Figure 1. On the ADC10D1x00, the RSV pins are high impedance, so only the 100Ω differential termination resistor for the LVDS driver from the ADC is necessary to be compatible with the ADC12D1x00. However, if these pins are terminated into an FPGA and it is necessary for them to be forced to a known voltage, then the additional 1kΩ resistors can be added to the design; the specific value of the 1kΩ resistors may be changed based upon the requirements of the specific FPGA. For a board which is populated with an ADC12D1x00, the 1kΩ resistors should be left unpopulated.

On final silicon, D7 is connected to the other pins internally, so it is no longer necessary to do so externally. • U7 – On an earlier version of the silicon, L2/M4/U7 were shorted externally. On final silicon, U7 is connected to the other pins internally, so it is no longer necessary to do so externally. • W3 – This pin is used for an internal test function; do not connect it. Despite its name, note that the CALFAIL pin does not indicate that the execution of the calibration process has actually failed. In general, higher speed ADCs consume more power and the ADC12D1x00 family consumes more power than the ADC10D1x00. If a system will be upgraded from a 10-bit to 12-bit ADC, take care to design the power supply accordingly with margin, so that it can supply the maximum required power. The limits for the power consumption, PC, may be found in each datasheet. www.national.com 2 AN-2128 Notes 3 www.national.com ADC1xD1x00 Pin Compatibility Notes For more National Semiconductor product information and proven design tools, visit the following Web sites at: www.national.com Products Design Support Amplifiers www.national.com/amplifiers WEBENCH® Tools www.national.com/webench Audio www.national.com/audio App Notes www.national.com/appnotes Clock and Timing www.national.com/timing Reference Designs www.national.com/refdesigns Data Converters www.national.com/adc Samples www.national.com/samples Interface www.national.com/interface Eval Boards www.national.com/evalboards LVDS www.national.com/lvds Packaging www.national.com/packaging Power Management www.national.com/power Green Compliance www.national.com/quality/green Switching Regulators www.national.com/switchers Distributors www.national.com/contacts LDOs www.national.com/ldo Quality and Reliability www.national.com/quality LED Lighting www.national.com/led Feedback/Support www.national.com/feedback Voltage References www.national.com/vref Design Made Easy www.national.com/easy www.national.com/powerwise Applications & Markets www.national.com/solutions Mil/Aero www.national.com/milaero PowerWise® Solutions Serial Digital Interface (SDI) www.national.com/sdi Temperature Sensors www.national.com/tempsensors SolarMagic™ www.national.com/solarmagic PLL/VCO www.national.com/wireless www.national.com/training PowerWise® Design University THE CONTENTS OF THIS DOCUMENT ARE PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION (“NATIONAL”) PRODUCTS.
