DESCRIPTION
The ADS802 is a low power, monolithic 12-bit, 10MHz
analog-to-digital converter utilizing a small geometry
CMOS process. This COMPLETE converter includes
a 12-bit quantizer, wideband track/hold, reference and
three-state outputs. It operates from a single +5V
power supply and can be configured to accept either
differential or single-ended input signals.
The ADS802 employs digital error correction in order
to provide excellent Nyquist differential linearity per-
formance for demanding imaging applications. Its low
distortion, high SNR, and high oversampling capability
give it the extra margin needed for telecommunications,
test instrumentation and video applications.
This high performance A/D converter is specified for
AC and DC performance at a 10MHz sampling rate.
The ADS802 is available in 28-lead SOIC and SSOP
packages.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS802 is a high speed sampling analog-to-digital
converter with pipelining. It uses a fully differential archi-
tecture and digital error correction to guarantee 12-bit reso-
lution. The differential track/hold circuit is shown in Figure
1. The switches are controlled by an internal clock which
has a non-overlapping two phase signal,
1 and
2. At the
sampling time the input signal is sampled on the bottom
plates of the input capacitors. In the next clock phase,
2, the
bottom plates of the input capacitors are connected together
and the feedback capacitors are switched to the op amp
output. At this time the charge redistributes between C
I
and
C
H
, completing one track/hold cycle. The differential output
is a held DC representation of the analog input at the sample
time. The track/hold circuit can also convert a single-ended
input signal into a fully differential signal for the quantizer.
The pipelined quantizer architecture has 11 stages with each
stage containing a two-bit quantizer and a two bit digital-to-
analog converter, as shown in Figure 2. Each two-bit quan-
tizer stage converts on the edge of the sub-clock, which is
twice the frequency of the externally applied clock. The
output of each quantizer is fed into its own delay line to

gives the ADS802 excellent differential linearity and guar-
antees no missing codes at the 12-bit level.
Since there are two pipeline stages per external clock cycle,
there is a 6.5 clock cycle data latency from the start convert
signal to the valid output data. The output data is available in
Straight Offset Binary (SOB) or Binary Two's Complement
(BTC) format.
THE ANALOG INPUT AND INTERNAL REFERENCE
The analog input of the ADS802 can be configured in
various ways and driven with different circuits, depending
on the nature of the signal and the level of performance
desired. The ADS802 has an internal reference that sets the
full scale input range of the A/D. The differential input range
has each input centered around the common-mode of +2.25V,
with each of the two inputs having a full scale range of
+1.25V to +3.25V. Since each input is 2V peak-to-peak and
180
out of phase with the other, a 4V differential input
signal to the quantizer results. As shown in Figure 3, the
positive full scale reference (REFT) and the negative full
scale (REFB) are brought out for external bypassing. In
addition, the common-mode voltage (CM) may be used as a
reference to provide the appropriate offset for the driving
circuitry. However, care must be taken not to appreciably
load this reference node. For more information regarding
external references, single-ended input, and ADS802 drive
circuits, refer to the applications section.

CLOCK REQUIREMENTS
The CLK pin accepts a CMOS level clock input. The rising
and falling edges of the externally applied convert command
clock control the various interstage conversions in the pipe-
line. Therefore, the duty cycle of the clock should be held at
50% with low jitter and fast rise/fall times of 2ns or less.
This is particularly important when digitizing a high fre-
quency input and operating at the maximum sample rate.
Deviation from a 50% duty cycle will effectively shorten
some of the interstage settling times, thus degrading the
SNR and DNL performance.
DIGITAL OUTPUT DATA
The 12-bit output data is provided at CMOS logic levels.
The standard output coding is Straight Offset Binary where
a full scale input signal corresponds to all "1's" at the output.
This condition is met with pin 19 "LO" or Floating due to an
internal pull-down resistor. By applying a logic "HI" voltage
to this pin, a Binary Two's Complement output will be
provided where the most significant bit is inverted. The
digital outputs of the ADS802 can be set to a high imped-
ance state by driving OE (pin 18) with a logic "HI". Normal
operation is achieved with pin 18 "LO" or Floating due to
internal pull-down resistors. This function is provided for
testability purposes and is not meant to drive digital buses
directly or be dynamically changed during the conversion
process.
APPLICATIONS
DRIVING THE ADS802
The ADS802 has a differential input with a common-mode
of +2.25V. For AC-coupled applications, the simplest way
to create this differential input is to drive the primary
winding of a transformer with a single-ended input. A
differential output is created on the secondary if the center
tap is tied to the common-mode voltage of +2.25V per
Figure 4. This transformer-coupled input arrangement pro-

vides good high frequency AC performance. It is important
to select a transformer that gives low distortion and does not
exhibit core saturation at full scale voltage levels. Since the
transformer does not appreciably load the ladder, there is no
need to buffer the common-mode (CM) output in this in-
stance. In general, it is advisable to keep the current draw
from the CM output pin below 0.5
A to avoid nonlinearity
in the internal reference ladder. A FET input operational
amplifier such as the OPA130 can provide a buffered refer-
ence for driving external circuitry. The analog IN and IN
inputs should be bypassed with 22pF capacitors to minimize
track/hold glitches and to improve high input frequency
performance.
Figure 5 illustrates another possible low cost interface circuit
which utilizes resistors and capacitors in place of a trans-
former. Depending on the signal bandwidth, the component
values should be carefully selected in order to maintain the
performance outlined in the data sheet. The input capacitors,
C
IN
, and the input resistors, R
IN
, create a high-pass filter with
the lower corner frequency at f
C
= 1/(2
R
IN
C
IN
). The corner
frequency can be reduced by either increasing the value of
R
IN
or C
IN
. If the circuit operates with a 50
or 75
impedance level, the resistors are fixed and only the value of
the capacitor can be increased. Usually AC-coupling capaci-
tors are electrolytic or tantalum capacitors with values of
1
F or higher. It should be noted that these large capacitors
become inductive with increased input frequency, which
could lead to signal amplitude errors or oscillation. To
maintain a low AC-coupling impedance throughout the sig-
nal band, a small value (e.g. 1
F) ceramic capacitor could be
added in parallel with the polarized capacitor.
Capacitors C
SH1
and C
SH2
are used to minimize current
glitches resulting from the switching in the input track and
hold stage and to improve signal-to-noise performance. These
capacitors can also be used to establish a low-pass filter and
effectively reduce the noise bandwidth. In order to create a
real pole, resistors R
SER1
and R
SER2
were added in series with
each input. The cut-off frequency of the filter is determined
by f
C
= 1/(2
R
SER
(C
SH
+C
ADC
)) where R
SER
is the resistor in
series with the input, C
SH
is the external capacitor from the
input to ground, and C
ADC
is the internal input capacitance of
the A/D converter (typically 4pF).
Resistors R
1
and R
2
are used to derive the necessary common
mode voltage from the buffered top and bottom references.
The total load of the resistor string should be selected so that
the current does not exceed 1mA. Although the circuit in
Figure 5 uses two resistors of equal value so that the common
mode voltage is centered between the top and bottom refer-
ence (+2.25V), it is not necessary to do so. In all cases the
center point, V
CM
, should be bypassed to ground in order to
provide a low impedance AC ground.
If the signal needs to be DC coupled to the input of the
ADS802, an operational amplifier input circuit is required.
In the differential input mode, any single-ended signal must
be modified to create a differential signal. This can be
accomplished by using two operational amplifiers, one in
the noninverting mode for the input and the other amplifier
in the inverting mode for the complementary input. The low
distortion circuit in Figure 6 will provide the necessary input
shifting required for signals centered around ground. It also
employs a diode for output level shifting to guarantee a low
distortion +3.25V output swing. Other amplifiers can be
used in place of the OPA642s if the lowest distortion is not
necessary. If output level shifting circuits are not used, care
must be taken to select operational amplifiers that give the
necessary performance when swinging to +3.25V with a
5V supply operational amplifier.
The ADS802 can also be configured with a single-ended
input full scale range of +0.25V to +4.25V by tying the
complementary input to the common-mode reference voltage
as shown in Figure 7. This configuration will result in
increased even-order harmonics, especially at higher input
frequencies. However, this tradeoff may be quite acceptable
for time-domain applications. The driving amplifier must
give adequate performance with a +0.25V to +4.25V output
swing in this case.

EXTERNAL REFERENCES AND ADJUSTMENT OF
FULL SCALE RANGE
The internal reference buffers are limited to approximately
1mA of output current. As a result, these internal +1.25V
and +3.25V references may be overridden by external refer-
ences that have at least 18mA (at room temperature) of
output drive capability. In this instance, the common-mode
voltage will be set halfway between the two references. This
feature can be used to adjust the gain error, improve gain
drift, or to change the full scale input range of the ADS801.
Changing the full scale range to a lower value has the benefit
of easing the swing requirements of external input amplifi-
ers. The external references can vary as long as the value of
the external top reference (REFT
EXT
) is less than or equal to
+3.4V and the value of the external bottom reference
(REFB
EXT
) is greater than or equal to +1.1V and the differ-
ence between the external references are greater than or
equal to 1.5V.
For the differential configuration, the full scale input range
will be set to the external reference values that are selected. For
the single-ended mode, the input range is 2(REFT
EXT
REFB
EXT
), with the common-mode being centered at
(REFT
EXT
+ REFB
EXT
)/2. Refer to the typical performance
curves for expected performance vs full scale input range.
The circuit in Figure 8 works completely on a single +5V
supply. As a reference element, it uses the micro-power
reference REF1004-2.5, which is set to a quiescent current
of 0.1mA. Amplifier A
2
is configured as a follower to buffer
the +1.25V generated from the resistor divider. To provide
the necessary current drive, a pull-down resistor, R
P
is
added.
Amplifier A
1
is configured as an adjustable gain stage, with
a range of approximately 1 to 1.32. The pull-up resistor
again relieves the op amp from providing the full current
drive. The value of the pull-up/down resistors is not critical
and can be varied to optimize power consumption. The need
for pull-up/down resistors depends only on the drive capa-
bility of the selected drive amplifiers and thus can be
omitted.
PC BOARD LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
A well-designed, clean PC board layout will assure proper
operation and clean spectral response. Proper grounding and
bypassing, short lead lengths, and the use of ground planes
are particularly important for high frequency circuits. Mul-
tilayer PC boards are recommended for best performance
but if carefully designed, a two-sided PC board with large,
heavy ground planes can give excellent results. It is recom-
mended that the analog and digital ground pins of the
ADS801 be connected directly to the analog ground plane.
In our experience, this gives the most consistent results. The
A/D power supply commons should be tied together at the
analog ground plane. Power supplies should be bypassed
with 0.1
F ceramic capacitors as close to the pin as possible.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE TESTING
The ADS801 is a high performance converter and careful
attention to test techniques is necessary to achieve accurate
results. Highly accurate phase-locked signal sources allow
high resolution FFT measurements to be made without
using data windowing functions. A low jitter signal genera-
tor such as the HP8644A for the test signal, phase-locked
with a low jitter HP8022A pulse generator for the A/D
clock, gives excellent results. Low pass filtering (or bandpass
filtering) of test signals is absolutely necessary to test the
low distortion of the ADS801. Using a signal amplitude
slightly lower than full scale will allow a small amount of
"headroom" so that noise or DC offset voltage will not
overrange the A/D and cause clipping on signal peaks.
