PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  
suited for communication systems employing Direct-IF Down  
Conversion since the SHA in the differential input mode can  
achieve excellent dynamic performance far beyond its specified  
Nyquist frequency.2  
The AD9221, AD9223, and AD9220 are a generation of high  
performance, single supply 12-bit analog-to-digital converters.  
Each device exhibits true 12-bit linearity and temperature drift  
performance1 as well as 11.5 bit or better ac performance.2 The  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 share the same interface options,  
package, and pinout. Thus, the product family provides an  
upward or downward component selection path based on per-  
formance, sample rate and power. The devices differ with re-  
spect to their specified sampling rate and power consumption  
which is reflected in their dynamic performance over frequency.  
A single clock input is used to control all internal conversion  
cycles. The digital output data is presented in straight binary  
output format. An out-of-range (OTR) signal indicates an  
overflow condition which can be used with the most significant  
bit to determine low or high overflow.  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 family offers a complete single-  
chip sampling 12-bit, analog-to-digital conversion function in  
pin-compatible 28-lead SOIC and SSOP packages.  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 combine a low cost, high speed  
CMOS process and a novel architecture to achieve the resolution  
and speed of existing hybrid and monolithic implementations at  
a fraction of the power consumption and cost. Each device is a  
complete, monolithic ADC with an on-chip, high performance,  
low noise sample-and-hold amplifier and programmable voltage  
reference. An external reference can also be chosen to suit the dc  
accuracy and temperature drift requirements of the application.  
The devices use a multistage differential pipelined architecture with  
digital output error correction logic to provide 12-bit accuracy at  
the specified data rates and to guarantee no missing codes over the  
full operating temperature range.  
Flexible Sampling Rates—The AD9221, AD9223 and AD9220  
offer sampling rates of 1.5 MSPS, 3.0 MSPS and 10.0 MSPS,  
respectively.  
Low Power and Single Supply—The AD9221, AD9223 and  
AD9220 consume only 59 mW, 100 mW and 250 mW, respec-  
tively, on a single +5 V power supply.  
Excellent DC Performance Over Temperature—The AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220 provide 12-bit linearity and temperature drift  
performance.1  
The input of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is highly flexible,  
allowing for easy interfacing to imaging, communications, medi-  
cal, and data-acquisition systems. A truly differential input  
structure allows for both single-ended and differential input  
interfaces of varying input spans. The sample-and-hold (SHA)  
amplifier is equally suited for both multiplexed systems that  
switch full-scale voltage levels in successive channels as well as  
sampling single-channel inputs at frequencies up to and beyond  
the Nyquist rate. Also, the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is well  
Excellent AC Performance and Low Noise—The AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220 provides better than 11.3 ENOB performance  
and has an input referred noise of 0.09 LSB rms.2  
Flexible Analog Input Range—The versatile onboard sample-  
and-hold (SHA) can be configured for either single ended or differ-  
ential inputs of varying input spans.

SIGNAL-TO-NOISE AND DISTORTION (S/N+D, SINAD)  
RATIO  
S/N+D is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input sig-  
nal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the  
Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc.  
The value for S/N+D is expressed in decibels.

EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB)  
For a sine wave, SINAD can be expressed in terms of the num-

Digital Ground  
+3 V to +5 V Digital Supply  
N = (SINAD – 1.76)/6.02  
it is possible to get a measure of performance expressed as N,  
the effective number of bits.  
Thus, effective number of bits for a device for sine wave inputs  
at a given input frequency can be calculated directly from its  
measured SINAD.  
DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATION  
INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY (INL)  
INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line  
drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive full scale.”  
The point used as “negative full scale” occurs 1/2 LSB before  
the first code transition. “Positive full scale” is defined as a  
level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation  
is measured from the middle of each particular code to the true  
straight line.  
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD)  
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic  
components to the rms value of the measured input signal and  
is expressed as a percentage or in decibels.  
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO (SNR)  
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal  
to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the  
Nyquist frequency, excluding the first six harmonics and dc.  
The value for SNR is expressed in decibels.  
DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY (DNL, NO MISSING  
CODES)  
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB  
apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Guaranteed  
no missing codes to 12-bit resolution indicates that all 4096  
codes, respectively, must be present over all operating ranges.  
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR)  
SFDR is the difference in dB between the rms amplitude of the  
input signal and the peak spurious signal.

and interface options. As a result, many of the application issues  
and tradeoffs associated with these resulting configurations are  
also similar. The data sheet is structured such that the designer  
can make an informed decision in selecting the proper A/D and  
optimizing its performance to fit the specific application.  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 are members of a high perfor-  
mance, complete single-supply 12-bit ADC product family based  
on the same CMOS pipelined architecture. The product family  
allows the system designer an upward or downward component  
selection path based on dynamic performance, sample rate, and  
power. The analog input range of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
is highly flexible allowing for both single-ended or differential  
inputs of varying amplitudes which can be ac or dc coupled.  
Each device shares the same interface options, pinout and pack-  
age offering.

The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 utilize a four-stage pipeline  
architecture with a wideband input sample-and-hold amplifier  
(SHA) implemented on a cost-effective CMOS process. Each  
stage of the pipeline, excluding the last stage, consists of a low  
resolution flash A/D connected to a switched capacitor DAC  
and interstage residue amplifier (MDAC). The residue amplifier  
amplifies the difference between the reconstructed DAC output  
and the flash input for the next stage in the pipeline. One bit of  
redundancy is used in each of the stages to facilitate digital  
correction of flash errors. The last stage simply consists of a  
flash A/D.

Figure 29. Full-Power Bandwidth  
The pipeline architecture allows a greater throughput rate at the  
expense of pipeline delay or latency. This means that while the  
converter is capable of capturing a new input sample every clock  
cycle, it actually takes three clock cycles for the conversion to be  
fully processed and appear at the output. This latency is not a  
concern in most applications. The digital output, together with  
the out-of-range indicator (OTR), is latched into an output  
buffer to drive the output pins. The output drivers of the  
AD9220ARS, AD9221 and AD9223 can be configured to  
interface with +5 V or +3.3 V logic families, while the AD9220AR  
can only be configured for +5 V logic.

The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 use both edges of the clock in  
their internal timing circuitry (see Figure 1 and specification  
page for exact timing requirements). The A/D samples the ana-  
log input on the rising edge of the clock input. During the clock  
low time (between the falling edge and rising edge of the clock),  
the input SHA is in the sample mode; during the clock high  
time it is in hold. System disturbances just prior to the rising  
edge of the clock and/or excessive clock jitter may cause the  
input SHA to acquire the wrong value, and should be minimized.

ANALOG INPUT AND REFERENCE OVERVIEW  
Figure 31, a simplified model of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220,  
highlights the relationship between the analog inputs, VINA,  
VINB, and the reference voltage, VREF. Like the voltage  
applied to the top of the resistor ladder in a flash A/D converter,  
the value VREF defines the maximum input voltage to the A/D  
core. The minimum input voltage to the A/D core is automatically  
defined to be –VREF.  
The internal circuitry of both the input SHA and individual  
pipeline stages of each member of the product family are opti-  
mized for both power dissipation and performance. An inherent  
tradeoff exists between the input SHA’s dynamic performance  
and its power dissipation. Figures 29 and 30 shows this tradeoff  
by comparing the full-power bandwidth and settling time of the  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. Both figures reveal that higher  
full-power bandwidths and faster settling times are achieved at  
the expense of an increase in power dissipation. Similarly, a  
tradeoff exists between the sampling rate and the power dissipated  
in each stage.

The addition of a differential input structure gives the user an  
additional level of flexibility that is not possible with traditional  
flash converters. The input stage allows the user to easily con-  
figure the inputs for either single-ended operation or differential  
operation. The A/D’s input structure allows the dc offset of the  
input signal to be varied independently of the input span of the  
converter. Specifically, the input to the A/D core is the differ-  
ence of the voltages applied at the VINA and VINB input pins.  
Therefore, the equation,  
The SHA’s optimum distortion performance for a differential or  
single-ended input is achieved under the following two condi-  
tions: (1) the common-mode voltage is centered around mid  
supply (i.e., AVDD/2 or approximately 2.5 V) and (2) the input  
signal voltage span of the SHA is set at its lowest (i.e., 2 V input  
span). This is due to the sampling switches, QS1, being CMOS  
switches whose RON resistance is very low but has some signal  
dependency which causes frequency dependent ac distortion  
while the SHA is in the track mode. The RON resistance of a  
CMOS switch is typically lowest at its midsupply but increases  
symmetrically as the input signal approaches either AVDD or  
AVSS. A lower input signal voltage span centered at midsupply  
reduces the degree of RON modulation.

defines the output of the differential input stage and provides  
the input to the A/D core.  
The voltage, VCORE, must satisfy the condition,  
Figure 32a compares the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220’s THD vs.  
frequency performance for a 2 V input span with a common-  
mode voltage of 1 V and 2.5 V. Note how each A/D with a  
common-mode voltage of 1 V exhibits a similar degradation in  
THD performance at higher frequencies (i.e., beyond 750 kHz).  
Similarly, note how the THD performance at lower frequencies  
becomes less sensitive to the common-mode voltage. As the  
input frequency approaches dc, the distortion will be domi-  
nated by static nonlinearities such as INL and DNL. It is  
important to note that these dc static nonlinearities are inde-  
pendent of any RON modulation.

where VREF is the voltage at the VREF pin.  
While an infinite combination of VINA and VINB inputs exist  
that satisfy Equation 2, there is an additional limitation placed  
on the inputs by the power supply voltages of the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220. The power supplies bound the valid operat-  
ing range for VINA and VINB. The condition,  
AVSS – 0.3 V < VINA < AVDD + 0.3 V  
AVSS – 0.3 V < VINB < AVDD + 0.3 V

where AVSS is nominally 0 V and AVDD is nominally +5 V,

Figure 32 shows the equivalent analog input of the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220 which consists of a differential sample-and-  
hold amplifier (SHA). The differential input structure of the  
SHA is highly flexible, allowing the devices to be easily config-  
ured for either a differential or single-ended input. The dc  
offset, or common-mode voltage, of the input(s) can be set to  
accommodate either single-supply or dual supply systems. Also,  
note that the analog inputs, VINA and VINB, are interchange-  
able with the exception that reversing the inputs to the VINA  
and VINB pins results in a polarity inversion.

Due to the high degree of symmetry within the SHA topology, a  
significant improvement in distortion performance for differen-  
tial input signals with frequencies up to and beyond Nyquist can  
be realized. This inherent symmetry provides excellent cancella-  
tion of both common-mode distortion and noise. Also, the  
required input signal voltage span is reduced by a half which  
further reduces the degree of RON modulation and its effects on  
distortion.

AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
Referring to Figure 32, the differential SHA is implemented  
using a switched-capacitor topology. Hence, its input imped-  
ance and its subsequent effects on the input drive source should  
be understood to maximize the converter’s performance. The  
combination of the pin capacitance, CPIN, parasitic capacitance  
CPAR, and the sampling capacitance, CS, is typically less than  
16 pF. When the SHA goes into track mode, the input source  
must charge or discharge the voltage stored on CS to the new  
input voltage. This action of charging and discharging CS,  
averaged over a period of time and for a given sampling fre-  
quency, FS, makes the input impedance appear to have a benign  
resistive component. However, if this action is analyzed within  
a sampling period (i.e., T = 1/FS), the input impedance is dy-  
namic and hence certain precautions on the input drive source  
should be observed.  
applications may require a larger resistor value to reduce the  
noise bandwidth or possibly limit the fault current in an over-  
voltage condition. Other applications may require a larger  
resistor value as part of an antialiasing filter. In any case, since  
the THD performance is dependent on the series resistance  
and the above mentioned factors, optimizing this resistor value  
for a given application is encouraged.  
A slight improvement in SNR performance and dc offset  
performance is achieved by matching the input resistance of  
VINA and VINB. The degree of improvement is dependent on  
the resistor value and the sampling rate. For series resistor  
values greater than 100 , the use of a matching resistor is  
encouraged.  
Figure 34 shows a plot for THD performance vs. RSERIES for  
the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 at their respective sampling rate  
and Nyquist frequency. The Nyquist frequency typically repre-  
sents the worst case scenario for an ADC. In this case, a high  
speed, high performance amplifier (AD8047) was used as the  
buffer op amp. Although not shown, the AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220 exhibits a slight increase in SNR (i.e. 1 dB to 1.5 dB)  
as the resistance is increased from 0 kto 2.56 kdue to its  
bandlimiting effect on wideband noise. Conversely, it exhibits  
slight decrease in SNR (i.e., 0.5 dB to 2 dB) if VINA and  
VINB do not have a matched input resistance.  
The resistive component to the input impedance can be com-  
puted by calculating the average charge that gets drawn by CH  
from the input drive source. It can be shown that if CS is al-  
lowed to fully charge up to the input voltage before switches QS1  
are opened, then the average current into the input is the same  
as if there were a resistor of 1/(CS FS) ohms connected between  
the inputs. This means that the input impedance is inversely  
proportional to the converter’s sample rate. Since CS is only  
4 pF, this resistive component is typically much larger than that  
of the drive source (i.e., 25 kat FS = 10 MSPS).

If one considers the SHA’s input impedance over a sampling  
period, it appears as a dynamic input impedance to the input  
drive source. When the SHA goes into the track mode, the  
input source should ideally provide the charging current through

ON of switch QS1 in an exponential manner. The requirement  
of exponential charging means that the most common input  
source, an op amp, must exhibit a source impedance that is both  
low and resistive up to and beyond the sampling frequency.  
–65  
AD9220  
The output impedance of an op amp can be modeled with a  
series inductor and resistor. When a capacitive load is switched  
onto the output of the op amp, the output will momentarily  
drop due to its effective output impedance. As the output re-  
covers, ringing may occur. To remedy the situation, a series  
resistor can be inserted between the op amp and the SHA input  
as shown in Figure 33. The series resistance helps isolate the op  
amp from the switched-capacitor load.

Figure 34 shows that a small RSERIES between 30 and 50 Ω  
provides the optimum THD performance for the AD9220.  
Lower values of RSERIES are acceptable for the AD9223 and  
AD9221 as their lower sampling rates provide a longer transient  
recovery period for the AD8047. Note that op amps with lower  
bandwidths will typically have a longer transient recovery  
period and hence require a slightly higher value of RSERIES  
and/or lower sampling rate to achieve the optimum THD  
performance.

As the value of RSERIES increases, a corresponding increase in  
distortion is noted. This is due to its interaction with the SHA’s  
parasitic capacitor, CPAR, which has a signal dependency. Hence,  
the resulting R-C time constant is signal dependent and conse-  
quently a source of distortion.

The optimum size of this resistor is dependent on several factors  
which include the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 sampling rate,  
the selected op amp, and the particular application. In most  
applications, a 30 to 50 resistor is sufficient. However, some

other comparator controls internal circuitry which will disable  
the reference amplifier if the SENSE pin is tied AVDD. Dis-  
abling the reference amplifier allows the VREF pin to be driven  
by an external voltage reference.  
Figure 29. For noise sensitive applications, the excessive band-  
width may be detrimental and the addition of a series resistor  
and/or shunt capacitor can help limit the wideband noise at the  
A/D’s input by forming a low-pass filter. Note, however, that  
the combination of this series resistance with the equivalent  
input capacitance of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 should be  
evaluated for those time-domain applications that are sensitive  
to the input signal’s absolute settling time. In applications where  
harmonic distortion is not a primary concern, the series resis-  
tance may be selected in combination with the SHA’s nominal  
16 pF of input capacitance to set the filter’s 3 dB cutoff frequency.

A better method of reducing the noise bandwidth, while possi-  
bly establishing a real pole for an antialiasing filter, is to add  
some additional shunt capacitance between the input (i.e.,  
VINA and/or VINB) and analog ground. Since this additional  
shunt capacitance combines with the equivalent input capaci-  
tance of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220, a lower series resis-  
tance can be selected to establish the filter’s cutoff frequency  
while not degrading the distortion performance of the device.  
The shunt capacitance also acts like a charge reservoir, sinking  
or sourcing the additional charge required by the hold capacitor,  
CH, further reducing current transients seen at the op amp’s  
output.

Figure 35. Equivalent Reference Circuit  
The actual reference voltages used by the internal circuitry of  
the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 appear on the CAPT and CAPB  
pins. For proper operation when using the internal or an exter-  
nal reference, it is necessary to add a capacitor network to de-  
couple these pins. Figure 36 shows the recommended  
decoupling network. This capacitive network performs the  
following three functions: (1) along with the reference ampli-  
fier, A2, it provides a low source impedance over a large fre-  
quency range to drive the A/D internal circuitry, (2) it provides  
the necessary compensation for A2, and (3) it bandlimits the  
noise contribution from the reference. The turn-on time of the  
reference voltage appearing between CAPT and CAPB is ap-  
proximately 15 ms and should be evaluated in any power-  
down mode of operation.  
The effect of this increased capacitive load on the op amp driv-  
ing the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 should be evaluated. To  
optimize performance when noise is the primary consideration,  
increase the shunt capacitance as much as the transient response  
of the input signal will allow. Increasing the capacitance too  
much may adversely affect the op amp’s settling time, frequency  
response, and distortion performance.  
REFERENCE OPERATION  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 contain an onboard bandgap  
reference that provides a pin-strappable option to generate either a  
1 V or 2.5 V output. With the addition of two external resistors,  
the user can generate reference voltages other than 1 V and  
2.5 V. Another alternative is to use an external reference for  
designs requiring enhanced accuracy and/or drift performance.  
See Table II for a summary of the pin-strapping options for the  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 reference configurations.

Figure 35 shows a simplified model of the internal voltage refer-

the reference amplifier, A1, appears on the VREF pin. The  
voltage on the VREF pin determines the full-scale input span of  
the A/D. This input span equals,

Figure 36. Recommended CAPT/CAPB Decoupling Network  
The A/D’s input span may be varied dynamically by changing  
the differential reference voltage appearing across CAPT and  
CAPB symmetrically around 2.5 V (i.e., midsupply). To change  
the reference at speeds beyond the capabilities of A2, it will be  
necessary to drive CAPT and CAPB with two high speed, low  
noise amplifiers. In this case, both internal amplifiers (i.e., A1  
and A2) must be disabled by connecting SENSE to AVDD and  
VREF to REFCOM and the capacitive decoupling network  
removed. The external voltages applied to CAPT and CAPB  
must be 2.5 V + Input Span/4 and 2.5 V – Input Span/4 respec-  
tively in which the input span can be varied between 2 V and 5 V.  
Note that those samples within the pipeline A/D during any  
reference transition will be corrupted and should be discarded.  
Full-Scale Input Span = 2 × VREF  
The voltage appearing at the VREF pin as well as the state of  
the internal reference amplifier, A1, are determined by the volt-  
age appearing at the SENSE pin. The logic circuitry contains  
two comparators which monitor the voltage at the SENSE pin.  
The comparator with the lowest set point (approximately 0.3 V)  
controls the position of the switch within the feedback path of  
A1. If the SENSE pin is tied to REFCOM, the switch is con-  
nected to the internal resistor network thus providing a VREF  
of 2.5 V. If the SENSE pin is tied to the VREF pin via a short  
or resistor, the switch is connected to the SENSE pin. A short  
will provide a VREF of 1.0 V while an external resistor network  
will provide an alternative VREF between 1.0 V and 2.5 V. The

amps which may otherwise have been constrained by headroom  
limitations, (3) Differential operation minimizes even-order  
harmonic products, and (4) Differential operation offers noise  
immunity based on the device’s common-mode rejection. Fig-  
ure 37 depicts the common-mode rejection of the three devices.  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 has a highly flexible input struc-  
ture allowing it to interface with single-ended or differential  
input interface circuitry. The applications shown in sections  
Driving the Analog Inputs and Reference Configurations, along  
with the information presented in Input and Reference Over-  
view of this data sheet, give examples of both single-ended and  
differential operation. Refer to Tables I and II for a list of the  
different possible input and reference configurations and their  
associated figures in the data sheet.  
As is typical of most CMOS devices, exceeding the supply  
limits will turn on internal parasitic diodes resulting in transient  
currents within the device. Figure 38 shows a simple means of  
clamping an ac or dc coupled single-ended input with the addi-  
tion of two series resistors and two diodes. An optional capaci-  
tor is shown for ac coupled applications. Note that a larger  
series resistor could be used to limit the fault current through  
D1 and D2 but should be evaluated since it can cause a degra-  
dation in overall performance. A similar clamping circuit could  
also be used for each input if a differential input signal is being  
applied.  
The optimum mode of operation, analog input range, and asso-  
ciated interface circuitry will be determined by the particular  
applications performance requirements as well as power supply  
options. For example, a dc coupled single-ended input would  
be appropriate for most data acquisition and imaging applica-  
tions. Also, many communication applications which require a  
dc coupled input for proper demodulation can take advantage of  
the excellent single-ended distortion performance of the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220. The input span should be configured such  
that the system’s performance objectives and the headroom  
requirements of the driving op amp are simultaneously met.

Alternatively, the differential mode of operation with a trans-

should be considered for the most demanding spectral-based  
applications which allow ac coupling (e.g., Direct IF to Digital  
Conversion).

SINGLE-ENDED MODE OF OPERATION  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 can be configured for single-  
ended operation using dc or ac coupling. In either case, the  
input of the A/D must be driven from an operational amplifier  
that will not degrade the A/D’s performance. Because the A/D  
operates from a single-supply, it will be necessary to level-shift  
ground-based bipolar signals to comply with its input require-  
ments. Both dc and ac coupling provide this necessary func-  
tion, but each method results in different interface issues which  
may influence the system design and performance.  
Single-ended operation requires that VINA be ac or dc coupled  
to the input signal source while VINB of the AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220 be biased to the appropriate voltage corresponding to a  
midscale code transition. Note that signal inversion may be  
easily accomplished by transposing VINA and VINB. The rated  
specifications for the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 are characterized  
using single-ended circuitry with input spans of 5 V and 2 V as well  
as VINB = 2.5 V.  
DC COUPLING AND INTERFACE ISSUES  
Differential operation requires that VINA and VINB be simulta-  
neously driven with two equal signals that are in and out of  
phase versions of the input signal. Differential operation of the  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 offers the following benefits: (1)  
Signal swings are smaller and therefore linearity requirements  
placed on the input signal source may be easier to achieve, (2)  
Signal swings are smaller and therefore may allow the use of op  
Many applications require the analog input signal to be dc  
coupled to the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. An operational  
amplifier can be configured to rescale and level shift the input  
signal so that it is compatible with the selected input range of  
the A/D. The input range to the A/D should be selected on the  
basis of system performance objectives as well as the analog  
power supply availability since this will place certain constraints  
on the op amp selection.  
20  
Many of the new high performance op amps are specified for  
only ± 5 V operation and have limited input/output swing  
capabilities. Hence, the selected input range of the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220 should be sensitive to the headroom require-  
ments of the particular op amp to prevent clipping of the sig-  
nal. Also, since the output of a dual supply amplifier can swing  
below –0.3 V, clamping its output should be considered in  
some applications.

In some applications, it may be advantageous to use an op amp  
specified for single supply +5 V operation since it will inher-  
ently limit its output swing to within the power supply rails.  
An amplifier like the AD8041, AD8011, and AD817 are useful  
for this purpose. Rail-to-rail output amplifiers such as the  
AD8041 allow the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 to be configured  
for larger input spans which improves the noise performance.

AC COUPLING AND INTERFACE ISSUES  
In the simplest case, the input signal to the AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220 will already be biased at levels in accordance with the  
selected input range. It is simply necessary to provide an ad-  
equately low source impedance for the VINA and VINB analog  
input pins of the A/D. Figure 39 shows the recommended  
configuration for a single-ended drive using an op amp. In this  
case, the op amp is shown in a noninverting unity gain configu-  
ration driving the VINA pin. The internal reference drives the  
VINB pin. Note that the addition of a small series resistor of  
30 to 50 connected to VINA and VINB will be beneficial  
in nearly all cases. Refer to Analog Input Operation section for  
a discussion on resistor selection. Figure 39 shows the proper  
connection for a 0 V to 5 V input range. Alternative single-  
ended input ranges of 0 V to 2 × VREF can also be realized  
with the proper configuration of VREF (refer to the Using the  
Internal Reference section).  
For applications where ac coupling is appropriate, the op amp’s  
output can be easily level shifted to the common-mode voltage,  
VCM, of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 via a coupling capaci-  
tor. This has the advantage of allowing the op amps common-  
mode level to be symmetrically biased to its midsupply level  
(i.e. (VCC + VEE)/2). Op amps which operate symmetrically  
with respect to their power supplies typically provide the best ac  
performance as well as greatest input/output span. Hence,  
various high speed/performance amplifiers which are restricted  
to +5 V/–5 V operation and/or specified for +5 V single-supply  
operation can be easily configured for the 5 V or 2 V input span  
of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. The best ac distortion per-  
formance is achieved when the A/D is configured for a 2 V  
input span and common-mode voltage of 2.5 V. Note that  
differential transformer coupling, which is another form of ac  
coupling, should be considered for optimum ac performance.

value for C1 and C2 will depend on the size of the resistor, R.  
The capacitors, C1 and C2, are typically a 0.1 µF ceramic and  
10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel to achieve a low cutoff  
frequency while maintaining a low impedance over a wide fre-  
quency range. The combination of the capacitor and the resistor

Figure 40 shows a dc-coupled level shifting circuit employing  
an op amp, A1, to sum the input signal with the desired dc  
offset. Configuring the op amp in the inverting mode with the  
given resistor values results in an ac signal gain of –1. If the  
signal inversion is undesirable, interchange the VINA and  
VINB connections to reestablish the original signal polarity.  
The dc voltage at VREF sets the common-mode voltage of the  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. For example, when VREF = 2.5 V,  
the output level from the op amp will also be centered around  
2.5 V. The use of ratio matched, thin-film resistor networks will  
minimize gain and offset errors. Also, an optional pull-up  
resistor, RP, may be used to reduce the output load on VREF  
to ±1 mA.  
The low impedance VREF voltage source biases both the VINB  
input and provides the bias voltage for the VINA input. Figure

Figure 42 shows a flexible ac coupled circuit which can be con-  
figured for different input spans. Since the common-mode  
voltage of VINA and VINB are biased to midsupply indepen-  
dent of VREF, VREF can be pin-strapped or reconfigured to  
achieve input spans between 2 V and 5 V p-p. The AD9221/

R-C networks will reject both power supply variations and noise.  
The resistors, R, establish the common-mode voltage. They may

OP AMP SELECTION GUIDE  
Op amp selection for the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is highly  
dependent on a particular application. In general, the perfor-  
mance requirements of any given application can be character-  
ized by either time domain or frequency domain parameters. In  
either case, one should carefully select an op amp which pre-  
serves the performance of the A/D. This task becomes challeng-  
ing when one considers the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220’s high  
performance capabilities coupled with other extraneous system  
level requirements such as power consumption and cost.  
Best Applications: 3:1 Multiplexer, Good AC Specs  
Limits: THD above 5 MHz, Input Range  
AD9631: 220 MHz Unity GBW, 16 ns Settling to 0.01%, ±5 V  
Supplies  
Best Applications: Best AC Specs, Low Noise, AC-  
Coupled  
Limits: Usable Input/Output Range, Power  
Consumption  
The ability to select the optimal op amp may be further compli-  
cated by either limited power supply availability and/or limited  
acceptable supplies for a desired op amp. Newer, high performance  
op amps typically have input and output range limitations in  
accordance with their lower supply voltages. As a result, some  
op amps will be more appropriate in systems where ac-coupling  
is allowable. When dc-coupling is required, op amps without  
headroom constraints such as rail-to-rail op amps or ones where  
larger supplies can be used should be considered. The following  
section describes some op amps currently available from Analog  
Devices. The system designer is always encouraged to contact  
the factory or local sales office to be updated on Analog Devices  
latest amplifier product offerings. Highlights of the areas where  
the op amps excel and where they may limit the performance of  
the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is also included.

DIFFERENTIAL MODE OF OPERATION  
Since not all applications have a signal preconditioned for differ-  
ential operation, there is often a need to perform a single-ended-  
to-differential conversion. In systems which do not need to be  
dc coupled, an RF transformer with a center tap is the best  
method to generate differential inputs for the AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220. It provides all the benefits of operating the A/D in the  
differential mode without contributing additional noise or dis-  
tortion. An RF transformer also has the added benefit of provid-  
ing electrical isolation between the signal source and the A/D.  
AD9221  
AD9223  
AD9220  
Note that although a single-ended-to-differential op amp topol-  
ogy would allow dc coupling of the input signal, no significant  
improvement in THD performance was realized when compared  
to the dc single-ended mode of operation up to the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220’s Nyquist frequency (i.e., fIN < FS/2). Also,  
the additional op amp required in the topology tends to in-  
creases the total system noise, power consumption, and cost.  
Hence, a single-ended mode of operation is recommended for  
most applications requiring dc coupling.

quency (VCM = 2.5 V, 2 V p-p Input Span, AIN = –0.5 dB)  
Figure 45 shows the schematic of the suggested transformer  
circuit. The circuit uses a minicircuits RF transformer, model  
#T4-6T, which has an impedance ratio of four (turns ratio of  
2). The schematic assumes that the signal source has a 50 Ω  
source impedance. The 1:4 impedance ratio requires the 200 Ω  
secondary termination for optimum power transfer and VSWR.  
The center tap of the transformer provides a convenient means  
of level shifting the input signal to a desired common-mode  
voltage. Optimum performance can be realized when the center  
tap is tied to CML of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 which is  
the common-mode bias level of the internal SHA.  
A dramatic improvement in THD and SFDR performance can  
be realized by operating the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 in the  
differential mode using a transformer. Figure 43 shows a plot of  
THD vs. Input Frequency for the differential transformer  
coupled circuit for each A/D while Figure 44 shows a plot of  
SFDR vs. Input Frequency. Both figures demonstrate the enhance-  
ment in spectral performance for the differential-mode of opera-  
tion. The performance enhancement between the differential  
and single-ended mode is most noteworthy as the input frequency  
approaches and goes beyond the Nyquist frequency (i.e., fIN  
FS/2) corresponding to the particular A/D.

The figures are also helpful in determining the appropriate A/D  
for Direct IF-Down Conversion or undersampling applications.  
Refer to Analog Devices application notes AN-301 and AN-302  
for an informative discussion on undersampling. One should  
select the A/D that meets or exceeds the distortion performance  
requirements measured over the required frequency passband.  
For example, the AD9220 achieves the best distortion perfor-  
mance over an extended frequency range as a result of its greater  
full-power bandwidth and thus would represent the best selec-  
tion for an IF undersampling application at 21.4 MHz. Refer to  
the Applications section of this data sheet for more detailed  
information and characterization of this particular application.

Transformers with other turns ratios may also be selected to  
optimize the performance of a given application. For example,  
a given input signal source or amplifier may realize an improve-  
ment in distortion performance at reduced output power levels  
and signal swings. Hence, selecting a transformer with a higher  
impedance ratio (e.g., Minicircuits T16-6T with a 1:16 imped-  
ance ratio) effectively “steps up” the signal level thus further  
reducing the driving requirements of the signal source.

Referring to Figure 45, a series resistors, RS, and shunt capaci-  
tor, CS, were inserted between the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220

15 pF were selected to specifically optimize both the THD and  
SNR performance of the A/D. RS and CS help provide some  
isolation from transients at the A/D inputs reflected back

Figure 48 shows the single-ended configuration that gives the  
best dynamic performance (SINAD, SFDR). To optimize  
dynamic specifications, center the common-mode voltage of the  
analog input at approximately by 2.5 V by connecting VINB to  
a low-impedance 2.5 V source. As described above, shorting  
the VREF pin directly to the SENSE pin results in a 1 V refer-  
ence voltage and a 2 V p-p input span. The valid range for  
input signals is 1.5 V to 3.5 V. The VREF pin should be by-  
passed to the REFCOM pin with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in  
parallel with a low-inductance 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor.  
Figure 46 also reveals a noteworthy difference in the SFDR and  
SNR performance of the AD9220 between the 2 V p-p and 5 V  
p-p input span options. First, the SNR performance improves  
by 2 dB with a 5.0 V p-p input span due to the increase in dy-  
namic range. Second, the SFDR performance of the AD9220  
will improve for input signals below approximately –6.0 dBFS.  
A 3 dB to 5 dB improvement was typically realized for input  
signal levels between –6.0 dBFS and –36 dBFS. This improve-  
ment in SNR and SFDR for a 5.0 V p-p span may be advanta-  
geous for communication systems that have additional margin  
or headroom to minimize clipping of the ADC.  
This reference configuration could also be used for a differential  
input in which VINA and VINB are driven via a transformer as  
shown in Figure 45. In this case, the common-mode voltage,  
VCM, is set at midsupply by connecting the transformers center  
tap to CML of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. VREF can be  
configured for 1 V or 2.5 V by connecting SENSE to either  
VREF or REFCOM respectively. Note that the valid input  
range for each of the differential input is one half of the single-  
ended input and thus becomes VCM – VREF/2 to VCM + VREF/2.  
REFERENCE CONFIGURATIONS  
The figures associated with this section on internal and external

ciated with the CAPT and CAPB pins. Please refer to the section “Ref-

In either case, both the common-mode voltage and input span  
are directly dependent on the value of VREF. More specifically,  
the common-mode voltage is equal to VREF while the input  
span is equal to 2 × VREF. Thus, the valid input range extends  
from 0 to 2 × VREF. When VINA is 0 V, the digital output  
will be 000 Hex; when VINA is 2 × VREF, the digital output  
will be FFF Hex.  
Resistor Programmable Reference  
Figure 49 shows an example of how to generate a reference  
voltage other than 1 V or 2.5 V with the addition of two exter-  
nal resistors and a bypass capacitor. Use the equation,  
VREF = 1 V × (1 + R1/R2),  
to determine appropriate values for R1 and R2. These resistors  
should be in the 2 kto 100 krange. For the example shown,  
R1 equals 2.5 kand R2 equals 5 k. From the equation  
above, the resultant reference voltage on the VREF pin is  
Shorting the VREF pin directly to the SENSE pin places the  
internal reference amplifier in unity-gain mode and the resultant  
VREF output is 1 V. Therefore, the valid input range is 0 V to  
2 V. However, shorting the SENSE pin directly to the REFCOM

ity, place a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with R1.  
Figure 50 shows an example of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
configured for an input span of 2 × VREF centered at 2.5 V. An  
external 2.5 V reference drives the VINB pin thus setting the  
common-mode voltage at 2.5 V. The input span can be inde-  
pendently set by a voltage divider consisting of R1 and R2  
which generates the VREF signal. A1 buffers this resistor net-  
work and drives VREF. Choose this op amp based on accuracy  
requirements. It is essential that a minimum of a 10 µF capaci-  
tor in parallel with a 0.1 µF low inductance ceramic capacitor  
decouple the reference output to ground.  
The common-mode voltage can be set to VREF by connecting  
VINB to VREF to provide an input span of 0 to 2 × VREF.  
Alternatively, the common-mode voltage can be set to VREF  
by connecting VINB to a low impedance 2.5 V source. For  
the example shown, the valid input single range for VINA is 1 V  
to 4 V since VINB is set to an external, low impedance 2.5 V  
source. The VREF pin should be bypassed to the REFCOM pin  
with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a low induc-  
tance 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor.

Figure 51 shows an example of an external reference driving

voltage and input span are directly dependent on the value of  
VREF. More specifically, the common mode voltage is equal to  
VREF while the input span is equal to 2 × VREF. Thus, the  
valid input range extends from 0 to 2 × VREF. For example, if  
the REF-191, a 2.048 external reference was selected, the valid  
input range extends from 0 to 4.096 V. In this case, 1 LSB of  
the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 corresponds to 1 mV. It is es-  
sential that a minimum of a 10 µF capacitor in parallel with a  
0.1 µF low inductance ceramic capacitor decouple the reference  
output to ground.  
USING AN EXTERNAL REFERENCE  
Using an external reference may enhance the dc performance of  
the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 by improving drift and accuracy.  
Figures 50 through 52 show examples of how to use an external  
reference with the A/D. Table III is a list of suitable voltage  
references from Analog Devices. To use an external reference,  
the user must disable the internal reference amplifier and drive  
the VREF pin. Connecting the SENSE pin to AVDD disables  
the internal reference amplifier.

Low Cost/Power Reference  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 contains an internal reference  
buffer, A2 (see Figure 35), that simplifies the drive requirements  
of an external reference. The external reference must be able to  
drive a 5 k(±20%) load. Note that the bandwidth of the ref-  
erence buffer is deliberately left small to minimize the reference  
noise contribution. As a result, it is not possible to change the  
reference voltage rapidly in this mode without the removal of  
the CAPT/CAPB Decoupling Network.  
The external reference circuit shown in Figure 52 uses a low  
cost 1.225 V external reference (e.g., AD580 or AD1580) along  
with an op amp and transistor. The 2N2222 transistor acts in  
conjunction with 1/2 of an OP282 to provide a very low imped-  
ance drive for VINB. The selected op amp need not be a high  
speed op amp and may be selected based on cost, power and  
accuracy.

DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS  
Digital Output Driver Considerations (DVDD)  
Digital Outputs  
The AD9221, AD9223 and AD9220ARS output drivers can be  
configured to interface with +5 V or 3.3 V logic families by setting  
DVDD to +5 V or 3.3 V respectively. However, the AD9220AR  
can only be configured to interface with +5 V logic families. The  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 output drivers are sized to provide  
sufficient output current to drive a wide variety of logic families.  
However, large drive currents tend to cause glitches on the  
supplies and may affect SINAD performance. Applications  
requiring the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 to drive large capaci-  
tive loads or large fanout may require additional decoupling  
capacitors on DVDD. In extreme cases, external buffers or  
latches may be required.  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 output data is presented in  
positive true straight binary for all input ranges. Table IV indi-  
cates the output data formats for various input ranges regardless  
of the selected input range. A twos complement output data

Clock Input and Considerations  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 internal timing uses the two  
edges of the clock input to generate a variety of internal timing  
signals. The clock input must meet or exceed the minimum  
specified pulsewidth high and low (tCH and tCL) specifications  
for the given A/D as defined in the Switching Specifications at  
the beginning of the data sheet to meet the rated performance  
specifications. For example, the clock input to the AD9220  
operating at 10 MSPS may have a duty cycle between 45% to  
55% to meet this timing requirement since the minimum specified  
tCH and tCL is 45 ns. For clock rates below 10 MSPS, the duty  
cycle may deviate from this range to the extent that both tCH  
and tCL are satisfied.

All high speed high resolution A/Ds are sensitive to the quality  
of the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given full-scale  
input frequency (fIN) due to only aperture jitter (tA) can be  
calculated with the following equation:  
Figure 53. Output Data Format  
Out Of Range (OTR)  
An out-of-range condition exists when the analog input voltage  
is beyond the input range of the converter. OTR is a digital  
output that is updated along with the data output corresponding  
to the particular sampled analog input voltage. Hence, OTR has  
the same pipeline delay (latency) as the digital data. It is LOW  
when the analog input voltage is within the analog input range.  
It is HIGH when the analog input voltage exceeds the input  
range as shown in Figure 53. OTR will remain HIGH until the  
analog input returns within the input range and another conver-  
sion is completed. By logical ANDing OTR with the MSB  
and its complement, overrange high or underrange low condi-  
tions can be detected. Table V is a truth table for the over/  
underrange circuit in Figure 54 which uses NAND gates. Sys-  
tems requiring programmable gain conditioning of the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220 input signal can immediately detect an out-  
of-range condition, thus eliminating gain selection iterations.  
Also, OTR can be used for digital offset and gain calibration.  
SNR = 20 log10 [1/2 π fIN tA]  
In the equation, the rms aperture jitter, tA, represents the root-  
sum square of all the jitter sources which include the clock in-  
put, analog input signal, and A/D aperture jitter specification.  
For example, if a 5 MHz full-scale sine wave is sampled by an  
A/D with a total rms jitter of 15 ps, the SNR performance of the  
A/D will be limited to 66.5 dB. Undersampling applications are  
particularly sensitive to jitter.  
The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases  
where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. As such, supplies for clock drivers  
should be separated from the A/D output driver supplies to  
avoid modulating the clock signal with digital noise. Low jitter  
crystal controlled oscillators make the best clock sources. If the  
–20–

clock is generated from another type of source (by gating, divid-  
ing, or other method), it should be retimed by the original clock  
at the last step.  
GROUNDING AND DECOUPLING  
Analog and Digital Grounding  
Proper grounding is essential in any high speed, high resolution  
system. Multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs) are recom-  
mended to provide optimal grounding and power schemes. The  
use of ground and power planes offers distinct advantages:  
Most of the power dissipated by the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
is from the analog power supplies. However, lower clock speeds  
will reduce digital current slightly. Figure 55 shows the relation-  
ship between power and clock rate for each A/D.

It is important to design a layout that prevents noise from coupling  
onto the input signal. Digital signals should not be run in paral-  
lel with input signal traces and should be routed away from the  
input circuitry. While the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 features  
separate analog and digital ground pins, it should be treated as  
an analog component. The AVSS and DVSS pins must be joined  
together directly under the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. A solid  
ground plane under the A/D is acceptable if the power and  
ground return currents are managed carefully. Alternatively, the  
ground plane under the A/D may contain serrations to steer  
currents in predictable directions where cross-coupling between  
analog and digital would otherwise be unavoidable. The  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220/EB ground layout, shown in Figure  
65, depicts the serrated type of arrangement. The analog and  
digital grounds are connected by a jumper below the A/D.

The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 features separate analog and  
digital supply and ground pins, helping to minimize digital  
corruption of sensitive analog signals. In general, AVDD, the  
analog supply, should be decoupled to AVSS, the analog com-  
mon, as close to the chip as physically possible. Figure 56  
shows the recommended decoupling for the analog supplies;  
0.1 µF ceramic chip capacitors should provide adequately low  
impedance over a wide frequency range. Note that the AVDD  
and AVSS pins are co-located on the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
to simplify the layout of the decoupling capacitors and provide  
the shortest possible PCB trace lengths. The AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220/EB power plane layout, shown in Figure 66 depicts a  
typical arrangement using a multilayer PCB.

The CML is an internal analog bias point used internally by the  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. This pin must be decoupled with  
at least a 0.1 µF capacitor as shown in Figure 57. The dc level of

CML is approximately AVDD/2. This voltage should be buff-

to perform such functions as filtering, channel selection, quadra-  
ture demodulation, data reduction, and detection.  
One common example is the digitization of a 21.4 MHz IF using a  
low jitter 10 MHz sample clock. Using the equation above for  
the fifth Nyquist zone, the resultant frequency after sampling is  
1.4 MHz. Figure 59 shows the typical performance of the  
AD9220 operating under these conditions. Figure 60 demon-  
strates how the AD9220 is still able to maintain a high degree of  
linearity and SFDR over a wide amplitude.

The digital activity on the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 chip falls  
into two general categories: correction logic, and output drivers.  
The internal correction logic draws relatively small surges of  
current, mainly during the clock transitions. The output drivers  
draw large current impulses while the output bits are changing.  
The size and duration of these currents are a function of the  
load on the output bits: large capacitive loads are to be avoided.  
Note, the internal correction logic of the AD9221, AD9223 and  
AD9220 is referenced to AVDD while the output drivers are  
referenced to DVDD.

The decoupling shown in Figure 58, a 0.1 µF ceramic chip  
capacitor, is appropriate for a reasonable capacitive load on the  
digital outputs (typically 20 pF on each pin). Applications involv-  
ing greater digital loads should consider increasing the digital  
decoupling proportionally, and/or using external buffers/latches.

APPLICATIONS  
Direct IF Down Conversion Using the AD9220  
As previously noted, the AD9220’s performance in the differen-  
tial mode of operation extends well beyond its baseband region  
and into several Nyquist zone regions. Hence, the AD9220 may  
be well suited as a mix down converter in both narrow and  
wideband applications. Various IF frequencies exist over the  
frequency range in which the AD9220 maintains excellent dy-  
namic performance (e.g., refer to Figure 43 and 44). The IF  
signal will be aliased to the ADC’s baseband region due to the  
sampling process in a similar manner that a mixer will down  
convert an IF signal. For signals in various Nyquist zones, the  
following equation may be used to determine the final frequency  
after aliasing.

Multichannel Data Acquisition with Autocalibration  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is well suited for high perfor-  
mance, low power data acquisition systems. Aside from its ex-  
ceptional ac performance, it exhibits true 12-bit linearity and  
temperature drift performance (i.e., excluding internal refer-  
ence). Furthermore, the A/D product family provides the system  
designer with an upward or downward component selection  
path based on power consumption and sampling rate.  
f1 NYQUIST = fSIGNAL  
f2 NYQUIST = fSAMPLE – fSIGNAL  
f3 NYQUIST = abs (fSAMPLE – fSIGNAL  
f4 NYQUIST = 2 × fSAMPLE – fSIGNAL  
)
A typical multichannel data acquisition system is shown in Fig-  
ure 61. Also shown is some additional inexpensive gain and  
offset autocalibration circuitry which is often required in high  
accuracy data acquisition systems. These additional peripheral  
components were selected based on their performance, power  
consumption, and cost.  
f5 NYQUIST = abs (2 × fSAMPLE – fSIGNAL  
)
There are several potential benefits in using the ADC to alias  
(i.e., or mix) down a narrowband or wideband IF signal. First  
and foremost is the elimination of a complete mixer stage with  
its associated amplifiers and filters, reducing cost and power  
dissipation. Second is the ability to apply various DSP techniques  
–22–  
REV. D  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
The calibration procedure consists of a two step process. First,  
the bipolar offset is calibrated by selecting CH2, the 2.5 V sys-  
tem reference, of the analog multiplexer and preloading the  
DAC, U5, with a midscale code of 1000 0000. If possible, sev-  
eral readings of the A/D should be taken and averaged to deter-  
mine the required digital offset adjustment code, U5. This  
averaged offset code requires an extra bit of resolution since 1  
LSB of U5 equates to 1/2 LSB of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220.  
The required offset correction code to U5 can then be deter-  
mined. Second, the system gain is calibrated by selecting CH2,  
a 1.25 V input which corresponds to –FS of the A/D. Before the  
value is read, U4 should be preloaded with a code of 00 (Hex).  
Several readings can also be taken and averaged to determine  
the digital gain adjustment code to U2A. In this case, 1 LSB of  
the A/D corresponds to 1 LSB of U4.  
Referring to Figure 61, the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is config-  
ured for single-ended operation with a 2.5 V p-p input span and  
a 2.5 V common-mode voltage using an external, precision 2.5  
voltage reference, U1. This configuration and input span allows  
the buffer amplifier, U4, to be single supply. Also, it simplifies  
the design of the low temperature drift autocalibration circuitry  
which uses thin-film resistors for temperature stability and ratio-  
metric accuracy. The input of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
can be easily configured for a wider span but it should remain  
within the input/output swing capabilities of a high speed, rail-  
to-rail, single-supply amplifier, U4 (e.g., AD8041).  
The gain and offset calibration circuitry is based on two 8-bit,  
current-output DAC08s, U3 and U5. The gain calibration  
circuitry consisting of U3, and an op amp, U2A, is configured  
to provide a low drift nominal 1.25 V reference to the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220. The resistor values which set the gain cali-  
bration range were selected to provide a nominal adjustment  
span of ±128 LSBs with 1 LSB resolution with respect to the  
A/D. Note that the bandwidth of the reference is low and, as a  
result, it is not possible to change the reference voltage rapidly  
in this mode.  
Due to the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220’s excellent INL perfor-  
mance, a two-point calibration procedure (i.e., –FS to midscale)  
instead of an endpoint calibration procedure was chosen. Also,  
since the bipolar offset is insensitive to any gain adjustment (due  
to the differential SHA of the A/D), an iterative calibration  
process is not required. The temperature stability of the circuit  
is enhanced by selecting a dual precision op amp for U2 (e.g.,  
OP293) and low temperature drift, thin film resistors. Note  
that this application circuit was not built at the release of this  
data sheet. Please consult Analog Devices for application assis-  
tance or comments.  
The offset calibration circuitry consists of a DAC, U5 and the  
buffer amplifier, U4. The DAC is configured for a bipolar ad-  
justment span of ±64 LSB with a 1/2 LSB resolution span with  
respect to the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. Note that both cur-  
rent outputs of U5 were configured to provide a bipolar adjust-  
ment span. Also, RC is used to decouple the output of both  
DACs, U3 and U5, from their respective op amps.
