a FEATURES Monolithic 12-Bit 20 MSPS A/D Converter Low Power Dissipation: 1.4 Watts On-Chip T/H and Reference High Spurious-Free Dynamic Range TTL Logic APPLICATIONS Radar Receivers Digital Communications Digital Instrumentation Electro-Optics PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AD9022 is a high speed, high performance, monolithic 12-bit analog-to-digital converter. All necessary functions, including track-and-hold (T/H) and reference, are included on-chip to provide a complete conversion solution. It is a companion unit to the AD9023; the primary difference between the two is that all logic for the AD9022 is TTL-compatible, while the AD9023 utilizes ECL logic for digital inputs and outputs. Pinouts for the two parts are nearly identical. Operating from +5 V and –5.2 V supplies, the AD9022 provides excellent dynamic performance. Sampling at 20 MSPS with AIN = 1 MHz, the spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is typically 76 dB; with AIN = 9.6 MHz, SFDR is 74 dB. SNR is typically 65 dB. The onboard T/H has a 110 MHz bandwidth and, more importantly, is designed to provide excellent dynamic performance for analog input frequencies above Nyquist. This feature is necessary in many undersampling signal processing applications, such as in direct IF-to-digital conversion. 12-Bit 20 MSPS Monolithic A/D Converter AD9022 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM ANALOG INPUT T/H 5-BIT ADC DIGITAL 12 ERROR CORRECTION TTL AD9022 5-BIT ADC DAC ENCODE +5V T/H +2V REF 16 –5.2V DAC GND 8 4-BIT ADC With DNL typically less than 0.5 LSB and 20 ns transient response settling time, the AD9022 provides excellent results when low-frequency analog inputs must be oversampled (such as CCD digitization). The full scale analog input is ± 1 V with a 300 Ω input impedance. The analog input can be driven directly from the signal source, or can be buffered by the AD96xx series of low noise, low distortion buffer amplifiers. All timing is internal to the AD9022; the clock signal initiates the conversion cycle. For best results, the encode command should contain as little jitter as possible. High speed layout practices must be followed to ensure optimum A/D performance. The AD9022 is built on a trench isolated bipolar process and utilizes an innovative multipass architecture (see the block diagram). The unit is packaged in 28-lead ceramic DIPs and gullwing surface mount packages. The AD9022 is specified to operate over the industrial (–25°C to +85°C) and military (–55°C to +125°C) temperature ranges. To maintain dynamic performance at higher IFs, monolithic RF track-and-holds (such as the AD9100 and AD9101 Samplifier™) can be used with the AD9022 to process signals up to and beyond 70 MHz.

The conversion process begins on the rising edge of this pulse, which should conform to the minimum and maximum pulsewidth requirements shown in the specifications. Operation below the recommended encode rate (4 MSPS) may result in excessive droop in the internal T/H devices–leading to large dc and ac errors. 0 –10 AIN = 1.2MHz AIN = –1.0dBFS SNR = 66.7dB THD = 77.51dB SFDR = 79.49dBFS FULL SCALE – dB –20 –30 –40 –50 The held analog value of the first track-and-hold is applied to a 5-bit flash converter and a second T/H.

Today, an all-digital receiver allows tuning, demodulation, and detection of receiver signals in the digital domain. By digitizing IF signals directly, and utilizing digital techniques, it becomes possible to make significant improvements in receiver design. For high frequency IFs, the ADC is the key to the receiver’s performance. Unfortunately, the specifications frequently used by receiver designers and analog-to-digital (ADC) manufacturers are often very different. Noise Figure and Intercept Point are common measures of noise and linearity in analog RF system design. ADCs are more frequently specified in terms of SNR and harmonic distortion. –70 –80 –90 –100 0 10 FREQUENCY – MHz Figure 9. FFT Plot 0 FULL SCALE – dB 20 AIN1 = 8.9MHz AIN2 = 9.8MHz AIN1 = 7.0dBFS AIN2 = 7.0dBFS SFDR = 80.62dBFS 40 Noise Noise figure (NF) is a measure of receiver sensitivity and is defined as the degradation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as a signal passes through a device. In equation form: 60 80 NF = SNR (in) – SNR (out) Noise figure is a bandwidth invariant parameter for reasonably narrow bandwidths in most devices. The system noise figure for a combination of amplifiers and mixers, for instance, can be analyzed without regard to the information bandwidth. 100 120 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 FREQUENCY – MHz 8.0 10.0 Refer to the block diagram. Thermal noise contribution from the ADC behaves in a similar fashion; however, the spectral density of quantization noise is a function of the sample rate. In addition, the spectral density of the quantization noise is flat only in an ADC with perfect linearity, i.e., perfect 1 LSB step sizes. The AD9022 employs a three-pass subranging architecture and digital error correction. This combination of design techniques ensures 12-bit accuracy at relatively low power. To analyze the system noise performance, ADC noise figure is calculated by normalizing the SNR of the ADC output to a 1 Hz bandwidth. This result is given by: Analog input signals are immediately attenuated through a resistor divider and applied directly to the sampling bridge of the track-and-hold (T/H). The T/H holds whatever analog value SNR (/Hz) = SNR + 10 log10 (FS/2) where FS is the sample rate. Figure 10. Two-Tone FFT THEORY OF OPERATION REV. B –7– AD9022 This will be true only for converters in which perfect quantization noise dominates. There may be an upper sample rate, above which the thermal noise of the converter is the dominant source of noise. In this case, normalization would be based on the noise bandwidth of the ADC. For an AD9022 with a typical SNR of 64 dB and a sample rate of 20 MSPS, the normalized SNR is equal to 134 dB (64 + 70). Both thermal and quantization noise contribute to this number. The SNR of the input is assumed to be limited by the thermal noise of the input resistance, or –174 dBm/Hz. The input signal level is +10 dBm (2 V p-p into 50 Ω). Noise figure of the ADC can be calculated by: AD9022 NOISE PERFORMANCE High speed, wide bandwidth ADCs such as the AD9022 are optimized for dynamic performance over a wide range of analog input frequencies. However, there are many applications (Imaging, Instrumentation, etc.) where dc precision is also important. Due to the wide input bandwidth of the AD9022 for a given input voltage, there will be a range of output codes which may occur. This is caused by unavoidable circuit noise within the wideband circuits in the ADC. If a dc signal is applied to the ADC and several thousand outputs are recorded, a distribution of codes such as that shown in the histogram below may result. 2.0 RELATIVE FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE NF = SNR (in) – SNR (out) = [+10 – (174)] – 134 = 50 dB Most ADCs detect input voltage levels, not power. Consequently, the input SNR can be determined more accurately by determining the ratio of the signal voltage to the noise voltage of the terminating resistor. However, both the input signal and noise voltage delivered to the ADC are also a function of the source impedance. The dependence of NF on sample rate, linearity, source and terminating impedances, and the number of assumptions required, highlight the weakness of using NF as a figure of merit for an ADC. The rather large number that results bolsters this belief by indicating the ADC is often the weakest link in the signal processing path. For signals near full scale, the intercept point is calculated the same as any device: Intercept Point = [Harmonic Suppression/(N –1)] + Input Power where N = the order of the IMD (3 in this case) AD9022 Intercept Point = 80/2 + 3 dBm (7 dBm below full scale) = 43 dBm For signals below this level, the spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) curves shown in the data sheet are a more accurate predictor of dynamic range. The SFDR curve is generated by measuring the ratio of the signal (either tone in the two-tone measurement) to the worst spurious signal, which is observed as the analog input signal amplitude is swept. The worst spurious signal is usually the second harmonic or 3rd order IMD. Actual results are shown on several plots. The straightline with a slope of one is constructed at the point where the worst SFDR touches the line. This line, extrapolated to full scale, gives the SFDR of the ADC. This value can then be used to predict the dynamic range by simply subtracting the input level from the SFDR. It should be noted that all SFDR lines are constructed to be valid only below a certain level below full scale. Above these points, the linearity of the device is dominated by the nonlinearities of the front end and best predicted by the intercept point. ONE STANDARD DEVIATION = RMS NOISE LEVEL 1.0 0.5 0 –0.5 –1.0 –1.5 –2.0 Linearity The Third Order intercept point for a linear device (with some nonlinearity) is a good way to predict 3rd order spurious signals as a function of input signal level. For an ADC, however, this in an invalid concept except with signals near full scale. As the input signal is reduced, the performance burden shifts from the input track-and-hold (T/H) to the encoder. This creates a nonlinear function, as contrasted with the third order intercept behavior, which predicts an improvement in dynamic range as the signal level is decreased. 1.5 x–3 x–2 x–1 x x+1 x+2 x+3 OUTPUT CODE Figure 11. ADC Equivalent Input Noise The correct code appears most of the time, but adjacent codes also appear with reduced probability. If a normal probability density curve is fitted to this Gaussian distribution of codes, the standard deviation will be equal to the equivalent input rms noise of the ADC. The rms noise may also be approximated by converting the SNR, as measured by a low frequency FFT, to an equivalent input noise. This method is accurate only if the SNR performance is dominated by random thermal noise (the low frequency SNR without harmonics is the best measure). Sixty-three dB equates to 1 LSB rms for a 2 V p-p (0.707 V rms) input signal. The AD9022 has approximately 0.5 LSB of rms noise or a noise limited SNR of 69 dB, indicating that noise alone does not limit the SNR performance of the device (quantization noise and linearity are also major contributors). This thermal noise may come from several sources. The drive source impedance should be kept low to minimize resistor thermal noise. Some of the internal ADC noise is generated in the wideband T/H. Sampling ADCs generally have input bandwidths which exceed the Nyquist frequency of one-half the sampling rate. (The AD9022 has an input bandwidth of over 100 MHz, even though the sampling rate is limited to 20 MSPS.) Wide bandwidth is required to minimize gain and phase distortion and to permit adequate settling times in the internal amplifiers and T/Hs. But a certain amount of unavoidable noise is generated in the T/H and other wideband circuits within the ADC; this causes variation in output codes for dc inputs. Good layout, grounding and decoupling techniques are essential to prevent external noise from coupling into the ADC and further corrupting performance. –8– REV. B AD9022 The duty cycle of the encode clock for the AD9022 is critical for obtaining rated performance of the ADC. Internal pulsewidths within the track-and-hold are established by the encode command pulsewidth; to ensure rated performance, minimum and maximum pulsewidth restrictions should be observed. Operation at 20 MSPS is optimized when the duty cycle is held at 55%. USING THE AD9022 Layout Information Preserving the accuracy and dynamic performance of the AD9022 requires that designers pay special attention to the layout of the printed circuit board. Analog paths should be kept as short as possible and be properly terminated to avoid reflections. The analog input connection should be kept away from digital signal paths; this reduces the amount of digital switching noise, which is capacitively coupled into the analog section. Digital signal paths should also be kept short, and run lengths should be matched to avoid propagation delay mismatch. The AD9022 digital outputs should be buffered or latched close to the device (<2 cm). This prevents load transients that may feed back into the device. Analog Input The analog input (Pin 12) voltage range is nominally ± 1.024 volts. The range is set with an internal voltage reference and cannot be adjusted by the user. The input resistance is 300 Ω and the analog bandwidth is 110 MHz, making the AD9022 useful in undersampling applications. The AD9022 should be driven from a low impedance source. The noise and distortion of the amplifier should be considered to preserve the dynamic range of the AD9022. In high speed circuits, layout of the ground is critical. A single, low impedance ground plane on the component side of the board is recommended. Power supplies should be capacitively coupled to the ground plane with high quality 0.1 µF chip capacitors to reduce noise in the circuit. All power pins of the AD9022 should be bypassed individually. The compensation pin (COMP Pin 17) should be bypassed directly to the –VS supply (Pin 15) as close to the part as possible using a 0.1 µF chip capacitor. Power Supplies The power supplies of the AD9022 should be isolated from the supplies used for noisy devices (digital logic especially) to reduce the amount of noise coupled into the ADC. For optimum performance, linear supplies ensure that switching noise from the supplies does not introduce distortion products during the encoding process. If switching supplies must be used, decoupling recommendations above are critically important. The PSRR of the AD9022 is a function of the ripple frequency present on the supplies. Clearly, power supplies with the lowest possible frequency should be selected. Multilayer boards allow designers to lay out signal traces without interrupting the ground plane, and provide low impedance ground planes. In systems with dedicated analog and digital grounds, all grounds for the AD9022 should be connected to the analog ground plane. AD9022 EVALUATION BOARD The evaluation board for the AD9022 (AD9022/PCB) provides an easy and flexible method for evaluating the ADC’s performance without (or prior to) developing a user-specific printed circuit board. The two-sided board includes a reconstruction DAC and digital output interface, and uses the layout and applications suggestions outlined above. It is available at nominal cost from Analog Devices, Inc. In systems using multilayer boards, dedicated power planes are recommended to provide low impedance connections for device power. Sockets limit dynamic performance and are not recommended for use with the AD9022. Timing Conversion by the AD9022 is initiated by the rising edge of the ENCODE clock (Pin 8). All required timing is generated internal to the ADC. Care should be taken to ensure that the encode clock to the AD9022 is free from jitter that can degrade dynamic performance. The clock driver should be compatible with TTL LS logic series devices. Drivers with excessive slew rate or overdrive will degrade the dynamic performance of the AD9022. Input/Output/Supply Information Power supply, analog input, clock connections and reconstructed output (RC OUTPUT) are identified by labels on the evaluation board. Operation of the evaluation board will conform to the following characteristics: Pulsewidth of the ADC encode clock must be controlled to ensure the best possible performance. Dynamic performance is guaranteed with a clock pulse HIGH minimum of 25 ns. Operation with narrower pulses will degrade SNR and dynamic performance. From a system perspective, this is generally not a problem, because a simple inverter can be used to generate a suitable clock if the system clock is less than 25 ns wide. Parameter Supply Current +5 V –5 V AIN Impedance Voltage Range CLOCK Impedance Frequency RC OUTPUT Impedance Voltage Range The AD9022 provides latched data outputs. Data outputs are available two pipeline delays and one propagation delay after the rising edge of the encode clock (refer to the AD9022 Timing Diagram). The length of the output data lines and the loads placed on them should be minimized to reduce transients within the AD9022; these transients can detract from the converter’s dynamic performance. Operation at encode rates less than 4 MSPS is not recommended. The internal track-and-hold saturates, causing erroneous conversions. This T/H saturation precludes clocking the AD9022 in a burst mode.
