General Description
The Comlinear CLC949 is a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter sub-
system including 12-bit quantizer, sample-and-hold amplifier, and
internal reference. The CLC949 has been optimized for low power
operation with high dynamic range. The CLC949 has a unique
feature which allows the user to adjust internal bias levels in the
converter which results in a trade-off between power dissipation
and maximum conversion rate. With bias set for 220mW power
dissipation the converter operates at 20MSPS. Under these
conditions, dynamic performance with a 9.9MHz analog input is
typically 68dB SNR and 72dBc SFDR. When bias is set for only
65mW power dissipation the converter maintains excellent perfor-
mance at 5MSPS. With a 2.4MHz analog input signal the SNR is
70dB and SFDR is 78dBc. This excellent dynamic performance in
the frequency domain without high power requirements make the
part a strong performer for communications and radar applications.
The low input noise of the CLC949, its 0.5LSB differential linearity
error specification, fast settling, and low power dissipation also
lead to excellent performance in imaging systems. All parts are
thoroughly tested to insure that guaranteed specifications are met.
The CLC949 incorporates an input sample-and-hold amplifier
followed by a quantizer which uses a pipelined architecture to min-
imize comparator count and the associated power dissipation
penalty. An on-board voltage reference is provided. Analog input
signals, conversion clock, and a single supply are all that are
required for CLC949 operation.
The CLC949 exhibits very stable performance over the commercial
and industrial temperature ranges. Most parameters shift very
little as the ambient temperature changes from -40C to 85C. An
exception to this rule is the dynamic performance of the converter.
As the temperature is increased, the distortion increases,
especially at higher input frequencies. This can be seen in the plot
on page 3. For input frequencies below 7MHz, there is relatively
little variation in distortion as the temperature is changed, but at
higher input frequencies, it is apparent that the performance
degrades as the temperature is increased.
Note that the reason for this degradation is the reduced ability of
the CLC949 to handle high slew rates at high temperatures. In
applications such as CCD imaging systems, where the slew rate at
the A/D sampling instant is very low, this degradation will not be
nearly so pronounced.
For applications requiring high temperature operation and very low
distortion with high frequency input signals, use of an external
sample-and-hold amplifier may enhance performance by reducing
the slew rates that the CLC949 sees during its sampling period (just
after the falling edge of CLK).
The CLC949 is fabricated in a 0.9
m CMOS technology. The
CLC949ACQ is specified over the commercial temperature range
of 0C to +70C and the CLC949AJQ is specified over the indus-
trial range of -40C to +85C. Both are packaged in a 44-pin
Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC)

is an output

applications section of this datasheet.
Analog Input (V

The analog input to the CLC949 is a differential signal
applied to V
INP
and V

. For more detail on driving the
inputs, see the paragraphs in the applications section of
this datasheet.
Power Supplies and Grounds (V

, V

, GND

The power and ground pins of the CLC949 are split into
those that supply the analog portions of the integrated
circuit (V
DDA
, GND
A
) and the digital portions of the chip
(V
DDD
, GND
D
). If your system uses separate power and
ground planes, then performance can be improved by
making use of the appropriate pins. In many systems,
the power pins will all be tied together and the GND pins
will all be tied together. For more detailed discussion,
please refer to the paragraph on power and grounds in
the applications section of the databook.
Clock (CLK)
The CLK accepts a CMOS clock input. Samples are
taken on the falling edges of the CLK and data emerges
6 1/2 clock cycles later, on to the rising edge of the CLK.
Output Data (D1-D12, MSBINV, OE\)
The data emerges from the CLC949 as CMOS level
digital data on D1(MSB) through D12(LSB). The
outputs can be put into a high impedance state by
bringing OE\ high. There is an internal pulldown
resistor so that if this input is left open, the output data is
enabled. MSBINV will invert the MSB of the output data.
With MSBINV in the high state, the output data is two's
complement, when low, the output data format is offset
binary. An internal pulldown resistor makes the output
default to offset binary if MSBINV is left open.
Bias Control (BCO, BC1, BIASC)
The DC bias current of the CLC949 is controlled by three
pins: BCO, BC1, and BIASC. BC0 and BC1 are digital
CMOS inputs and set the bias current in accordance with
the truth table below:

is increased and the part becomes capable of increased
conversion rates.

CLC949 OPERATION
Application
In a high speed data acquisition system, the overall
performance is often determined by the A/D converter
and its surrounding circuitry. You should pay special
attention to the data converter and its support circuitry if
you want to obtain the best possible performance. The
information on these pages is intended to help you
design the circuitry surrounding the CLC949 in such
a way as to achieve superior results. Additional
information is available in the form of Comlinear
applications notes. Especially useful are AD-01 and
AD-02.
Circuit Description
The CLC949 ADC consists of an input Sample-and-Hold
Amplifier (SHA) followed by a pipelined quantizer.
Internal reference sources and output data latches
complete the major functions required of an A/D
converter. Digital error correction in the quantizer helps
to provide accurate conversions of high speed dynamic
signals. The speed of the analog circuitry is determined
in part by the internal bias currents applied. The CLC949
allows you to make this important tradeoff between
power and performance through settings on two digital
control pins and for fine adjustments through the use of
an external resistor.
Timing and CLK Generation
The falling edge of the CLK pulse causes the input sam-
ple-and-hold amplifier to transition into the hold mode.
The sample is taken approximately 3ns after this falling
edge. The digitized data is presented to the output latch-
es 6 1/2 clock cycles later and is held until after the next
rising edge of CLK. This timing is shown in the timing
diagram, Figure 1.
Figure 1: Timing Diagram
The CLC949 is designed to operate with a CMOS clock
signal. To obtain the lowest possible noise when
digitizing a high frequency input, more care must be
taken in the generation of this clock than is usually
accorded to CMOS Clocks. To minimize aperture jitter
induced errors, the CLK needs to have as low a
jitter as possible and as fast an edge rate as possible. To
obtain a very low jitter clock from a sinusoidal source, the
circuit shown in Figure 2 is recommended.
Figure 2: Clock Generation
Here the CLC006 cable driver is used as a comparator to
generate a high speed clock. The CLC006 has less than
2ps of jitter and has rise and fall times less than 1ns. The
CLC006 output is then buffered by a 74AC04 which
maintains fast edge rates and provides CMOS levels for
the CLC949. If there is excessive jitter in the CLK, then
the digitized signal will exhibit an excessive amount of
noise, especially for high frequency inputs. For a more
detailed description of this phenomenon, please read the
Comlinear Application Note AD-03.
In addition to the circuitry generating the clock, the
layout of the clock distribution network can affect the
overall performance of the converter. To obtain the best
possible performance, a clock driver with very low output
impedance and fast edge rates such as the 74AC04,
should be placed as close as possible to the CLC949
clock input pin. Additional length in the circuit trace for
the clock will cause an increase in the jitter seen by the
converter.
On the CLC949 evaluation board, the
E949PCASM, there is less than 1/16th of an inch
between the 74AC04 that is driving the clock input and
the input to the CLC949. If the system has several
CLC949s, and jitter is liable to generate problems, then
use a separate clock driver for each CLC949. Each
driver should be placed as close to the converter that it is
driving as is practicable.
Driving the Differential Input
The CLC949 has a differential input with a common
mode voltage of 2.25V. Since not all applications have a
signal preconditioned in this manner there is often a need
to do a single-ended-to-differential conversion and to add
offset. In systems which do not need to be DC coupled,
the best method for doing this is with an RF transformer
such as the Minicircuits TMO1-1T. This is an RF
transformer with a center tapped secondary which will
operate over a frequency range of 50kHz to 200MHz.
You can offset the input and split the phases simply by
connecting the center tap to the mid scale reference
output (V
REFMO
) as shown in Figure 3.
This set up can be realized on the CLC949 evaluation
board by enabling option 1. See E949PCASM data
sheet for details. A transformer coupled input will allow
the CLC949 to exhibit the best possible distortion
performance for high frequency input signals.

Figure 3: Transformer Coupled Input
Since the transformer response does not extend to DC it
is not an effective solution for applications which require
DC coupled inputs.
To drive the input of the CLC949, and retain DC
information, an amplifier configuration is required.
Comlinear suggests the use of the circuit shown in Figure 4.
This circuit is used on the E949PCASM.
Figure 4: Amplifier Coupled Input
In this circuit U7 buffers the analog input with a gain of
+1, and U6 buffers the input with a gain of -1. The
circuit has been designed so that U6 and U7 have the
same loop gain, thereby offering the best possible match
of their AC characteristics. U5 is used to generate the
required offset voltages which are summed into the input
signal via U6 and U7. The CLC409 was selected for U6
and U7 due to its current feedback topology which allows
for very low distortion even at high frequencies, and its
excellent phase linearity. Phase match between U6 and
U7 is critical for good pulse response. To generate the
D.C. offsets, the CLC428 dual Op-amp was selected.
The CLC428 is a voltage-feedback op amp with very
good DC characteristics, and the large bandwidth makes
the output impedance low over a wide range of frequen-
cies, allowing good AC performance.
Regardless of how the input is driven, a small capacitor
(15pF) should be added from the V
INP
and V
INN
terminals to GND. This will help to reduce the current
transients that are generated by the CLC949 inputs
during sampling.
Reference Generation
The CLC949 has internally generated reference
voltages. To use these references, you must externally
connect the reference inputs by shorting V
REFPO
to
V
REFP
and V
REFNO
to V
REFN
. During the conversion
cycle, the impedance on these four pins varies
dynamically. To maintain stable biases on these pins you
must bypass them with 0.1
F to GND. If you want to pro-
vide an external reference, then you have to be careful
to provide low output impedance drivers to the V
REFP
and
V
REFN
pins. Bypass capacitors on all reference pins are
recommended for best performance.
Bias Control
One of the unique features of the CLC949 is that it allows
you to set the internal bias current of the device. When
designing an A/D converter a tradeoff is made between
the amount of power dissipated and the
performance. The CLC949 allows you to make this
tradeoff yourself. The bias current is controlled by the
pins BC0 and BC1. These two pins are digital input pins
from which one of three discrete bias points may be
selected (see truth table on page 4 of this datasheet) or
an external bias may be provided through the analog bias
control pin BIASC. If BC0 and BC1 are left open, they
will drift low and provide the default bias condition which
results in 220mW of dissipation at 20MHz sampling rate.
The actual power dissipated by the device is a function
of both the bias condition and the sample rate. The
relationship between power and speed is shown for the
three discrete bias points in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Power Dissipation vs. Sample Rate
As the bias is turned up, the ability of the CLC949 to
handle high frequency inputs and the power dissipation
of the CLC949 increases. To use the BIASC pin, attach
a resistor from the pin to V
DDA
. The current drawn by this
resistor is mirrored in the device to set the internal bias
currents. A smaller value resistor will result in higher bias
currents and higher performance.Beyond a certain
point, additional improvement is not seen, although
power continues to increase. For this reason, it is
recommended that bias setting resistors of less than
10K not be used. To generate the graph in Figure 6 a
CLC949 was set to sample a signal 1dB below full scale

with a frequency of 1/2 the sample rate. The bias current
was then turned up until the SNR was better than 65dB
and the SFDR exceeded 72dB. The axis on the left
shows the power that was dissipated by the device as a
function of speed, whereas the other curve uses the axis
on the right to show the resistor value required to obtain
this bias.

Dynamic Power Down
In systems where you do not use the A/D converter con-
tinually, and low power consumption is a key require-
ment, the power to the CLC949 can be turned down while
it is not being used. This is done through the use of the
BIASC pin, and a programming resistor to the power
supply. When the potential on this resistor is brought low,
the part goes into a sleep mode which saves power. This
can be accomplished by connecting the bias setting
resistor to a CMOS gate as shown in Figure 7. In sleep
mode the CLC949 will draw approximately 8mA, or
40mW on a 5V supply.
Figure 7: Dynamic Power Savings
PCB Layout
The keys to a successful CLC949 layout are
a substantial low-impedance ground plane, short
connections in and out of the data converter, and proper
power supply decoupling. The use of a socket for the
final design is not recommended but if one must be used
during debug or prototyping, then Comlinear recommends
the McKenzie #PLCC-44P-T-SMT socket which has low
parasitic impedances. The traces from the clock source
to the CLC949 should be as short as possible, if forced
to put the clock driver more than a couple of
centimeters away from the CLC949, then add a buffer for
the clock right next to the CLC949.
There is an evaluation board available for the CLC949
(E949PCASM) This board can be used to quickly
evaluate the performance of the CLC949 data converter.
Use of this evaluation board as a model for your PCB lay-
out is recommended. The schematic for this evaluation
board is shown in Figure 8 on the following page. The
board layout for the E949PCASM is shown in the
E949PCASM datasheet.
Power Supplies, Grounding and Bypassing
To obtain the best possible performance from high speed
devices, you must pay close attention to power supplies,
bypassing and grounding. This applies not only to the
A/D converter itself but to the entire system.
The recommended supply decoupling scheme for the
CLC949 includes:
One 0.01 to 0.033
F capacitor between each
power pin and GND.
One 6.8 to 10
F capacitor per board, placed no
more than a few inches from the A/D connected
between V
DD
and GND.
One 0.1
F capacitor from each of the reference
inputs (V
REFP
, V
REFN
, V
REFPC
, V
REFNC
) to GND.
If the board has supplies that include excessive
digital switching noise, then ferrite beads in series
with the power feed to the A/D should also be
included.
Proper bypassing of all other integrated circuits
on the board, especially digital logic I.C.s.
