ADC08D1520QML  
Low Power, 8-Bit, Dual 1.5 GSPS or Single 3.0 GSPS A/D  
Converter  
General Description  
Features  
The ADC08D1520QML is an 8–Bit, dual channel, low power,  
high performance CMOS analog-to-digital converter that  
builds upon the ADC08D1000 platform. The AD-  
C08D1520QML digitizes signals to 8 bits of resolution at  
sample rates up to 1.7 GSPS. It has expanded features com-  
pared to the ADC08D1000, which include a test pattern output  
for system debug, clock phase adjust, and selectable output  
demultiplexer modes. Consuming a typical 2.0W in Demulti-  
plex Mode at 1.5 GSPS from a single 1.9 Volt supply, this  
device is guaranteed to have no missing codes over the full  
operating temperature range. The unique folding and inter-  
polating architecture, the fully differential comparator design,  
the innovative design of the internal sample-and-hold ampli-  
fier and the self-calibration scheme enable a very flat re-  
sponse of all dynamic parameters beyond Nyquist, producing  
a high 7.2 Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) with a 748 MHz  
input signal and a 1.5 GHz sample rate while providing a  
10-18 Code Error Rate (C.E.R.) Output formatting is offset bi-  
nary and the Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) digital  
outputs are compatible with IEEE 1596.3-1996, with the ex-  
ception of an adjustable common mode voltage between 0.8V  
and 1.2V.

Each converter has a selectable output demultiplexer which  
feeds two LVDS buses. If the 1:2 Demultiplexed Mode is se-  
lected, the output data rate is reduced to half the input sample  
rate on each bus. When Non-Demultiplexed Mode is select-  
ed, that output data rate on channels DI and DQ are at the  
same rate as the input sample clock. The two converters can  
be interleaved and used as a single 3 GSPS ADC.

The converter typically consumes less than 2.9 mW in the  
Power Down Mode and is available in a 128-pin, thermally  
enhanced, multi-layer ceramic quad package and operates  
over the Military (-55°C TA +125°C) temperature range.

Description  
Output Voltage Amplitude and Serial Interface Clock. Tie this  
pin high for normal differential DCLK and data amplitude.  
Ground this pin for a reduced differential output amplitude  
and reduced power consumption. See 1.1.6 The LVDS  
Outputs. When the extended control mode is enabled, this  
pin functions as the SCLK input which clocks in the serial  
data. See 1.2 NON-EXTENDED CONTROL/EXTENDED  
CONTROL for details on the extended control mode. See  
1.3 THE SERIAL INTERFACE for description of the serial  
interface.

OutV / SCLK  
A logic high on the PDQ pin puts only the Q-Channel ADC  
into the Power Down mode.

PDQ  
DCLK Edge Select, Double Data Rate Enable and Serial  
Data Input. This input sets the output edge of DCLK+ at  
which the output data transitions. See 1.1.5.2 OutEdge and  
Demultiplex Control Setting When this pin is connected to  
1/2 the supply voltage,VA/2, DDR clocking is enabled. When  
the Extended Control Mode is enabled, this pin functions as  
the SDATA input. See 1.2 NON-EXTENDED CONTROL/  
EXTENDED CONTROL for details on the Extended Control  
Mode. See 1.3 THE SERIAL INTERFACE for description of  
the serial interface.  
OutEdge / DDR /

DCLK Reset. When single-ended DCLK_RST is selected by  
setting pin 52 logic high or to VA/2, a positive pulse on this  
pin is used to reset and synchronize the DCLK outputs of  
multiple converters. See 1.5 MULTIPLE ADC  
SYNCHRONIZATION for detailed description. When  
differential DCLK_RST is selected by setting pin 52 logic low,  
this pin receives the positive polarity of a differential pulse  
signal used to reset and synchronize the DCLK outputs of  
multiple converters.

Calibration Cycle Initiate. A minimum tCAL_L input clock  
cycles logic low followed by a minimum of tCAL_H input clock  
cycles high on this pin initiates the calibration sequence. See  
2.5.2 Calibration for an overview of calibration and 2.5.2.1  
Initiating Calibration for a description of calibration.  
CAL  
Full Scale Range Select, Alternate Extended Control Enable  
and DCLK_RST-. This pin has two functions. It can  
conditionally control the ADC full-scale voltage, or become  
the negative polarity signal of a differential pair in differential  
DCLK_RST Mode. If pin 52 and pin 41 are connected at logic  
high, this pin can be used to set the full-scale-range. When  
used as the FSR pin, a logic low on this pin sets the full-scale  
differential input range to a reduced VIN input level. A logic  
high on this pin sets the full-scale differential input range to  
Higher VIN input level. See Converter Electrical  
14  
FSR/DCLK_RST-  
Characteristics. When pin 52 is held at logic low, this pin acts  
as the DCLK_RST- pin. When in differential DCLK_RST  
Mode, there is no pin-controlled FSR and the full-scale-range  
is defaulted to the higher VIN input level.

Description  
Dual Edge Sampling and Serial Interface Chip Select. With  
pin 41 logic low, the device is in Extended Control Mode and  
this pin is the enable pin for the Serial Interface . When in  
Non-Extended Control Mode and this pin is connected to  
VA/2, DES Mode is selected where the I- Channel input is  
sampled at twice the input clock rate and the Q- Channel  
input is ignored. See 1.1.5.1 Dual-Edge Sampling. When in  
Non-Extended Controll Mode and DES is not desired, this  
pin should be tied to VA.  
127  
DES / SCS  
LVDS Clock input pins for the ADC. The differential clock  
signal must be a.c. coupled to these pins. The input signal is  
sampled on the falling edge of CLK+. See 1.1.2 Acquiring  
the Input for a description of acquiring the input and 2.4 THE  
CLOCK INPUTS for an overview of the clock inputs.

CLK+  
CLK-  
Analog signal inputs to the ADC. These differential input  
signals must be a.c. coupled to these pins. The differential  
full-scale input range is programmable using the FSR pin 14  
in Non-Extended Control Mode and the Input Full-Scale  
Voltage Adjust register in the Extended Control Mode. Refer  
to the VIN specification in the Converter Electrical  
Characteristics for the full-scale input range in the Non-  
Extended Control Mode. Refer to 1.4 REGISTER

Extended Control Enable. This pin always enables or  
disables Extended Control Mode. When this pin is set logic  
high, the Extended Control Mode is inactive and all control  
of the device must be through control pins only . When it is  
set logic low, the Extended Control Mode is active. This pin  
overrides the Extended Control Enable signal set using pin  
14.

DCLK_RST select. This pin selects whether the DCLK is  
reset using a single-ended or differential signal. When this  
pin is connected at logic high, the DCLK_RST operation is  
single-ended and pin 14 functions as FSR/ALT_ECE. When  
this pin is logic low, the DCLK_RST operation becomes  
differential with functionality on pin 15 (DCLK_RST+) and pin  
14 (DCLK_RST-). When in differential DCLK_RST Mode,  
there is no pin-controlled FSR and the full-scale-range is  
defaulted to 870mV. When pin 41 is set logic low, the  
Extended Control Mode is active and the Full-Scale Voltage  
Adjust registers can be programmed.

I- and Q- channel LVDS Data Outputs that are delayed by  
one CLK cycle in the output demultiplexer. Compared with  
the DI and DQ outputs, these outputs represent the earlier  
time sample. These outputs should always be terminated  
with a 100differential resistor. In Non Demux Mode, these  
outputs are disabled and are high impedance. When  
disabled, these outputs must be left floating.  
Out Of Range output. A differential high at these pins  
indicates that the differential input is out of range ±VIN/2 as  
programmed by the FSR pin in Non-Extended Control Mode  
or the Input Full-Scale Voltage Adjust register setting in the  
Extended Control Mode). DCLK2 is the exact mirror of DCLK  
and should output the same signal at the same rate.  
79  
80  
OR+/DCLK2+  
OR-/DCLK2-  
Data Clock. Differential Clock outputs used to latch the  
output data. Delayed and non-delayed data outputs are  
supplied synchronous to this signal. In 1:2 Demultiplexed  
Mode, this signal is at 1/2 the input clock rate in SDR Mode  
and at 1/4 the input clock rate in the DDR Mode. By default,  
the DCLK outputs are not active during the termination  
resistor trim section of the calibration cycle. If a system  
requires DCLK to run continuously during a calibration cycle,  
the termination resistor trim portion of the cycle can be  
disabled by setting the Resistor Trim Disable (RTD) bit to  
logic high in the Extended Configuration Register (address  
9h). This disables all subsequent termination resistor trims  
after the initial trim which occurs during the power on  
calibration. Therefore, this output is not recommended as a  
system clock unless the resistor trim is disabled. When the  
device is in the Non-Demultiplexed Mode, DCLK can only be  
in DDR Mode and the signal is at 1/2 the input clock rate.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. There is no guarantee of operation at the Absolute Maximum  
Ratings. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications  
and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics  
may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.  
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = DR GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.  
Note 3: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply limits (that is, less than GND or greater than VA), the current at that pin should be limited to  
25 mA. The 50 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 25 mA to  
two. This limit is not placed upon the power, ground and digital output pins.  
Note 4: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kresistor.  
Note 5: The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes beyond the Absolute Maximum Ratings may damage this device.  
30024704  
Note 6: To guarantee accuracy, it is required that VA and VDR be well bypassed. Each supply pin must be decoupled with separate bypass capacitors. Additionally,  
achieving rated performance requires that the backside exposed pad be well grounded.  
Note 7: Typical figures are at TA = 25°C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are guaranteed to MIL-PRF-38535.  
Note 8: Calculation of Full-Scale Error for this device assumes that the actual reference voltage is exactly its nominal value. Full-Scale Error for this device,  
therefore, is a combination of Full-Scale Error and Reference Voltage Error. See Figure 2. For relationship between Gain Error and Full-Scale Error, see  
Specification Definitions for Gain Error.  
Note 9: The analog and clock input capacitances are die capacitances only. Additional package capacitances of 0.65 pF differential and 0.95 pF each pin to  
ground are isolated from the die capacitances by lead and bond wire inductances.  
Note 10: This parameter is guaranteed by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.  
Note 11: The digital control pin capacitances are die capacitances only. Additional package capacitance of 1.6 pF each pin to ground are isolated from the die  
capacitances by lead and bond wire inductances.  
Note 12: Each of the two converters of the ADC08D1520QMLQML has two LVDS output buses, which each clock data out at one half the sample rate. The data  
at each bus is clocked out at one half the sample rate. The second bus (D0 through D7) has a pipeline latency that is one Input Clock cycle less than the latency  
of the first bus (Dd0 through Dd7). 1:2 Demux Mode.  
Note 13: Tying VBG to the supply rail will increase the output offset voltage (VOS) by 300mv (typical), as shown in the VOS specification above. Tying VBG to the  
supply rail will also affect the differential LVDS output voltage (VOD), causing it to increase by 30mV (typical).  
Note 14: Pre and post irradiation limits are identical to those listed under AC and DC electrical characteristics except as listed in the Post Radiation Limits Table.  
These parts may be dose rate sensitive in a space environment and demonstrate enhanced low dose rate effect. Radiation end point limits for the noted parameters  
are guaranteed only for the conditions as specified in MIL-STD-883, Method 1019  
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of  
Specification Definitions  
the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB.  
Measured at sample rate = 500 MSPS with a 1MHz input  
sinewave.  
APERTURE (SAMPLING) DELAYis the amount of delay,  
measured from the sampling edge of the Clock input, after  
which the signal present at the input pin is sampled inside the  
device.  
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE  
BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise and  
Distortion Ratio, or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD −  
1.76) / 6.02 and says that the converter is equivalent to a per-  
fect ADC of this (ENOB) number of bits.  
APERTURE JITTER (tAJ) is the variation in aperture delay  
from sample to sample. Aperture jitter shows up as input  
noise.  
CODE ERROR RATE (C.E.R.) is the probability of error and  
is defined as the probable number of word errors on the ADC  
output per unit of time divided by the number of words seen  
in that amount of time.. A C.E.R. of 10-18 corresponds to a  
statistical error in one word about every four (4) years.  
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH (FPBW) is a measure of the  
frequency at which the reconstructed output fundamental  
drops 3 dB below its low frequency value for a full-scale input.  
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the  
transfer function. It can be calculated from Offset and Full-  
Scale Errors:  
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that the clock  
waveform is at a logic high to the total time of one clock period.  
www.national.com  
16  
Positive Gain Error = Offset Error − Positive Full-Scale  
Error  
Negative Gain Error = −(Offset Error − Negative Full-  
Scale Error)  
OUTPUT DELAY (tOD) is the time delay (in addition to  
Pipeline Delay) after the falling edge of CLK+ before the data  
update is present at the output pins.  
OVER-RANGE RECOVERY TIME is the time required after  
the differential input voltages goes from ±1.2V to 0V for the  
converter to recover and make a conversion with its rated ac-  
curacy.  
Gain Error = Negative Full-Scale Error − Positive Full-  
Scale Error = Positive Gain Error + Negative Gain Error  
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of worst  
case deviation of the ADC transfer function from an ideal  
straight line drawn through the ADC transfer function. The  
deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured  
from the center of that code value. The best fit method is used.  
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of input clock  
cycles between initiation of conversion and when that data is  
presented to the output driver stage. New data is available at  
every clock cycle, but the data lags the conversion by the  
Pipeline Delay plus the tOD  
.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is the creation of  
additional spectral components as a result of two sinusoidal  
frequencies being applied to the ADC input at the same time.  
It is defined as the ratio of the power in the second and third  
order intermodulation products to the power in one of the  
original frequencies. IMD is usually expressed in dBFS.  
POSITIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (PFSE) is a measure of  
how far the last code transition is from the ideal 1-1/2 LSB  
below a differential +VIN/2. For the ADC08D1520QML the  
reference voltage is assumed to be ideal, so this error is a  
combination of full-scale error and reference voltage error.  
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) can be one  
of two specifications. PSRR1 (DC PSRR) is the ratio of the  
change in full-scale error that results from a power supply  
voltage change from 1.8V to 2.0V. PSRR2 (AC PSRR) is a  
measure of how well an a.c. signal riding upon the power  
supply is rejected from the output and is measured with a 248  
MHz, 50 mVP-P signal riding upon the power supply. It is the  
ratio of the output amplitude of that signal at the output to its  
amplitude on the power supply pin. PSRR is expressed in dB.  
LSB (LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the small-  
est value or weight of all bits. This value is  
VFS / 2N  
where VFS is the differential full-scale amplitude VIN as set by  
the FSR input and "N" is the ADC resolution in bits, which is  
8, for the ADC08D1520QML.  
LOW VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL SIGNALING (LVDS)  
DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE (VOD) is the absolute  
value of the difference between the VD+ and VD- outputs; each  
measured with respect to Ground.  
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in  
dB, of the rms value of the input signal at the output to the rms  
value of the sum of all other spectral components below one-  
half the sampling frequency, not including harmonics or d.c.  
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/(N+D) or  
SINAD) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the  
input signal at the output to the rms value of all of the other  
spectral components below half the input clock frequency, in-  
cluding harmonics but excluding d.c.  
SPURIOUS-FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the differ-  
ence, expressed in dB, between the rms values of the input  
signal at the output and the peak spurious signal, where a  
spurious signal is any signal present in the output spectrum  
that is not present at the input, excluding d.c.  
30024746  
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio ex-  
pressed in dB, of the rms total of the first nine harmonic levels  
at the output to the level of the fundamental at the output. THD  
is calculated as  
FIGURE 1.  
LVDS OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE (VOS) is the midpoint  
between the D+ and D- pins output voltage with respect to  
ground; ie., [(VD+) +( VD-)]/2.  
MISSING CODES are those output codes that are skipped  
and will never appear at the ADC outputs. These codes can-  
not be reached with any input value.  
MSB (MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the largest  
value or weight. Its value is one half of full scale.  
where Af1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output) fre-  
quency and Af2 through Af10 are the RMS power of the first 9  
harmonic frequencies in the output spectrum.  
NEGATIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (NFSE) is a measure of  
how far the first code transition is from the ideal 1/2 LSB above  
a differential −VIN/2 with the FSR pin low. For the AD-  
C08D1520QML the reference voltage is assumed to be ideal,  
so this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference  
voltage error.  
– Second Harmonic Distortion (2nd Harm) is the differ-  
ence, expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the input  
frequency seen at the output and the power in its 2nd har-  
monic level at the output.  
– Third Harmonic Distortion (3rd Harm) is the difference  
expressed in dB between the RMS power in the input fre-  
quency seen at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic  
level at the output.  
OFFSET ERROR (VOFF) is a measure of how far the mid-  
scale point is from the ideal zero voltage differential input.  
Offset Error = Actual Input causing average of 8k samples to  
result in an average code of 127.5.

bration after power-up. The second portion of the calibration  
cycle is the ADC calibration in which internal bias currents are  
set. The ADC calibration is performed regardless of the RTD  
bit setting. Running the calibration is an important part of this  
chip’s functionality and is required in order to obtain specified  
performance. In addition to the requirement that a calibration  
be run at power-up, a calibration must be run whenever the  
FSR pin is changed. For best performance, we recommend  
that a calibration be run after application of power once the  
power supplies have settled and the part temperature has  
stabilized. Further calibrations should be run whenever the  
operating temperature changes significantly relative to the  
specific system performance requirements. See 2.5.2.1 Initi-  
ating Calibration for more information. Calibration can not be  
initiated or run while the device is in the Power-Down Mode.  
See1.1.7 Power Down for information on the interaction be-  
tween Power down and calibration.  
1.0 Functional Description  
The ADC08D1520QML is a versatile A/D Converter with an  
innovative architecture permitting very high speed operation.  
The controls available ease the application of the device to  
circuit solutions. Optimum performance requires adherence  
to the provisions discussed here and in the Applications In-  
formation Section.  
While it is not recommended in radiation environments to al-  
low an active pin to float, pins 4, 14, 52 and 127 of the  
ADC08D1520QML are designed to be left floating without  
jeopardy in non radiation environments. In all discussions  
throughout this data sheet, whenever a function is called by  
allowing a control pin to float, connecting that pin to a potential  
of one half the VA supply voltage is recommended for radia-  
tion environments.  
1.1 OVERVIEW  
The ADC08D1520QML uses a calibrated folding and inter-  
polating architecture that achieves over 7.25 effective bits.  
The use of folding amplifiers greatly reduces the number of  
comparators and power consumption. Interpolation reduces  
the number of front-end amplifiers required, minimizing the  
load on the input signal and further reducing power require-  
ments. In addition to other things, on-chip calibration reduces  
the INL bow often seen with folding architectures. The result  
is an extremely fast, high performance, low power converter.  
In normal operation, calibration should be performed just after  
application of power and whenever a valid calibration com-  
mand is given. A calibration command can be issued using  
two methods. The first method is to hold the CAL pin low for  
at least tCAL_L input clock cycles, then hold it high for at least  
another tCAL_H input clock cycles as defined in the Converter  
Electrical Characteristics. The second method is to program  
the CAL bit in the Calibration register. The functionality of the  
CAL bit is exactly the same as using the CAL pin. The CAL  
bit must be programmed to 0b for tCAL_L input clock cycles and  
then programmed to 1b for at least tCAL_H input clock cycles  
to initiate a calibration cycle. The time taken by the calibration  
procedure is specified as tCAL in the Converter Electrical  
Characteristics.  
The analog input signal that is within the converter's input  
voltage range is digitized to eight bits at speeds of 200 MSPS  
to 1.7 GSPS, typical. Differential input voltages below nega-  
tive full-scale will cause the output word to consist of all  
zeroes. Differential input voltages above positive full-scale  
will cause the output word to consist of all ones. Either of  
these conditions at either the I- or Q- Channel input will cause  
the OR (Out of Range) output to be activated. This single OR  
output indicates when the output code from one or both of the  
channels is below negative full scale or above positive full  
scale.  
The CAL bit does not reset itself to zero automatically, but  
must be manually reset before another calibration event is  
desired, the CAL bit may be left high indefinitely, with no neg-  
ative consequences.  
The RTD bit setting is critical for running a calibration event  
with the Clock Phase Adjust enabled. If initiating a calibration  
event while the Clock Phase Adjust is enabled, the RTD bit  
must be set to high, or no calibration will occur. If initiating a  
calibration event while the Clock Phase Adjust is not enabled,  
a normal calibration will occur, regardless of the setting of the  
RTD bit.  
Each converter has a selectable output demultiplexer which  
feeds two LVDS buses. If the 1:2 Demultiplexed Mode is se-  
lected, the output data rate is reduced to half the input sample  
rate on each bus. When Non-Demultiplexed Mode is select-  
ed, that output data rate on channels DI and DQ are at the  
same rate as the input sample clock.  
The output levels may be selected to be normal or reduced.  
Using reduced levels saves power but could result in erro-  
neous data capture of some or all of the bits, especially at  
higher sample rates and in marginally designed systems.  
Calibration Operation Notes:  
During the calibration cycle, the OR output may be active  
as a result of the calibration algorithm. All data on the  
output pins and the OR output are invalid during the  
calibration cycle.  
1.1.1 Calibration  
The ADC08D1520QML has a calibration feature which must  
be invoked by the user. If the device is powered-up in the  
Extended Control Mode, the registers will be in an unknown  
state and no calibration is performed. For the initial calibration  
after power-up, we recommend that the registers first be pro-  
grammed to a known state before performing a calibration or  
the part be calibrated in the pin control mode. All subsequent  
calibrations can be run in either the Non-Extended Control  
Mode or the Extended Control Mode.  
During the calibration, all clocks are halted on chip,  
including internal clocks and DCLK, while the input  
termination resistor is trimmed to a value that is equal to  
REXT / 33. This is to reduce noise during the input resistor  
calibration portion of the calibration cycle. See for  
information on maintaining DCLK operation during on-  
command calibration.  
This external resistor is located between pin 32 and  
ground. REXT must be 3300 Ω ±0.1%. With this value, the  
input termination resistor is trimmed to be 100 . Because  
REXT is also used to set the proper current for the Track  
and Hold amplifier, for the preamplifiers and for the  
comparators, other values of REXT should not be used.  
The calibration algorithm consists of two portions. The first  
portion is calibrating the analog input. This calibration trims  
the 100 analog input differential termination resistor and  
minimizes full-scale error, offset error, DNL and INL, resulting  
in maximizing SNR, THD, SINAD (SNDR) and ENOB. This  
portion of the calibration can be disabled by programming the  
Resistor Trim Disable (RTD) bit in the Extended Configuration  
The CalRun output is high whenever the calibration  
procedure is running. This is true whether the calibration  
is done at power-up or on-command.

It is important that no digital activity take place on any of  
the digital input lines during the calibration process, except  
that there must be a stable, constant frequency CLK signal  
present and that SCLK may be active if the Enhanced  
Mode is selected. Actions that are not allowed include but  
are not limited to:  
1.1.5 Clocking  
The ADC08D1520QML must be driven with an a.c. coupled,  
differential clock signal. 2.4 THE CLOCK INPUTS describes  
the use of the clock input pins. A differential LVDS output  
clock is available for use in latching the ADC output data into  
whatever device is used to receive the data.  
Changing OUTV  
The ADC08D1520QML offers input and output clocking op-  
tions. These options include a choice of Dual Edge Sampling  
(DES) or "interleaved mode" where the ADC08D1520QML  
performs as a single device converting at twice the input clock  
rate, a choice of which DCLK edge the output data transitions  
on, and a choice of Single Data Rate (SDR) or Double Data  
Rate (DDR) outputs.  
Changing OutEdge or SDATA sense  
Changing between SDR and DDR  
Changing FSE or ECE  
Changing DCLK_RST  
Changing SCS  
Raising PD high  
Raising CAL high  
The ADC08D1520QML also has the option to use a duty cycle  
corrected clock receiver as part of the input clock circuit. This  
feature is enabled by default and provides improved ADC  
clocking especially in the Dual-Edge Sampling Mode  
(DES). This circuitry allows the ADC to be clocked with a  
signal source having a duty cycle ratio of 20%/80% (worst  
case) for both the Non-DES and the Dual Edge Sampling  
Modes.  
Doing any of these actions can cause faulty calibration.  
1.1.2 Acquiring the Input  
Data is acquired at the falling edge of CLK+ (pin 18) and the  
digital equivalent of that data is available at the digital outputs  
13 input clock cycles later for the DI and DQ output buses and  
14 input clock cycles later for the DId and DQd output buses.  
There is an additional internal delay called tOD before the data  
is available at the outputs. See the Timing Diagram. The AD-  
C08D1520QML will convert as long as the input clock signal  
is present. The fully differential comparator design and the  
innovative design of the sample-and-hold amplifier, together  
with self calibration, enables a very flat SINAD/ENOB re-  
sponse beyond 1.5 GHz. The ADC08D1520QML output data  
signaling is LVDS and the output format is offset binary.  
1.1.5.1 Dual-Edge Sampling  
The DES Mode allows one of the ADC08D1520QML's inputs  
(I- or Q- Channel) to be sampled by both ADCs. One ADC  
samples the input on the positive edge of the input clock and  
the other ADC samples the same input on the other edge of  
the input clock. A single input is thus sampled twice per input  
clock cycle, resulting in an overall sample rate of twice the  
input clock frequency, or 3 GSPS with a 1.5 GHz input clock.  
1.1.3 Control Modes  
In this mode, the outputs must be carefully interleaved to re-  
construct the sampled signal. If the device is programmed into  
the 1:2 Demultiplex Mode while in DES Mode, the data is ef-  
fectively Demultiplexed 1:4. If the input clock is 1.5 GHz, the  
effective sampling rate is doubled to 3 GSPS and each of the  
4 output buses have a 750 MHz output rate. All data is avail-  
able in parallel. To properly reconstruct the sampled wave-  
form, the four bytes of parallel data that are output with each  
clock are in the following sampling order from the earliest to  
the latest and must be interleaved as such: DQd, DId, DQ, DI.  
Table 1 indicates what the outputs represent for the various  
sampling possibilities. If the device is programmed into the  
Non-Demultiplex Mode, two bytes of parallel data are output  
with each edge of the clock in the following sampling order,  
from the earliest to the latest: DQ, DI. See Table 2.  
Much of the user control can be accomplished with several  
control pins that are provided. Examples include initiation of  
the calibration cycle, Power Down Mode and full scale range  
setting. However, the ADC08D1520QML also provides an  
Extended Control mode whereby a serial interface is used to  
access register-based control of several advanced features.  
The Extended Control mode is not intended to be enabled and  
disabled dynamically. Rather, the user is expected to employ  
either the Non-Extended Control Mode or the Extended Con-  
trol Mode at all times. When the device is in the Extended  
Control Mode, pin-based control of several features is re-  
placed with register-based control and those pin-based con-  
trols are disabled. These pins are OutV (pin 3), OutEdge/DDR  
(pin 4), FSR (pin 14) and DES (pin 127). See 1.2 NON-EX-  
TENDED CONTROL/EXTENDED CONTROL for details on  
the Extended Control Mode.  
In the Non-Extended Control Mode of operation only the I-  
channel input can be sampled in the DES Mode. In the  
Extended Control Mode of operation, the user can select  
which input is sampled.  
1.1.4 The Analog Inputs  
The ADC08D1520QML must be driven with a differential input  
signal. Operation with a single-ended signal is not recom-  
mended. It is important that the input signals are a.c. coupled  
to the inputs.  
The ADC08D1520QML also includes an automatic clock  
phase background calibration feature which can be used in  
DES Mode to automatically and continuously adjust the clock  
phase of the I- and Q- channel. This feature removes the need  
to adjust the clock phase setting manually and provides opti-  
mal Dual-Edge Sampling ENOB performance.  
Two full-scale range settings are provided with pin 14 (FSR).  
A high on pin 14 causes an input full-scale range setting of a  
higher VIN input level, while grounding pin 14 causes an input  
full-scale range setting of a reduced VIN input level. The full-  
scale range setting operates equally on both ADCs.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The background calibration feature in  
DES Mode does not replace the requirement for calibration if  
a large swing in ambient temperature is experienced by the  
device.  
In the Extended Control Mode, the Input Full-Scale Voltage  
Adjust register allows the input full-scale range to be adjusted  
as described in 1.4 REGISTER DESCRIPTION and 2.3 THE  
ANALOG INPUT.

1.1.5.2 OutEdge and Demultiplex Control Setting  
the data rate and data is sent to the outputs on both edges of  
DCLK. DDR clocking is enabled in Non-Extended Control  
Mode by tying pin 4 to VA/2.  
To help ease data capture in the SDR Mode, the output data  
may be caused to transition on either the positive or the neg-  
ative edge of the output data clock (DCLK). In the Non-  
Extended Control Mode, this is chosen with the OutEdge input  
(pin 4). A high on the OutEdge input pin causes the output  
data to transition on the rising edge of DCLK+, while ground-  
ing this input causes the output to transition on the falling edge  
of DCLK. See 2.5.3 Output Edge Synchronization. When in  
the Extended Control Mode, the OutEdge is selected using  
the OED bit in the Configuration Register. This bit has two  
functions. In the single data rate (SDR) Mode, the bit functions  
as OutEdge and selects the DCLK edge with which the data  
transitions. In the Double Data Rate (DDR) Mode, this bit se-  
lects whether the device is in Non-Demultiplex or 1:2 Demul-  
tiplex Mode. In the DDR case, the DCLK has a 0° phase  
relationship with the output data independent of the demulti-  
plexer selection.  
1.1.5.4 Clocking Summary  
The chip may be in one of four modes, depending on the Dual-  
Edge Sampling (DES) selection and the demultiplex selec-  
tion. For the DES selection, there are two possibilities: Non-  
DES Mode and DES Mode. In Non-DES Mode, each of the  
channels (I-channel and Q-channel) functions independently,  
i.e. the chip is a dual 1.5 GSPS A/D converter. In DES Mode,  
the I- and Q-channels are interleaved and function together  
as one 3.0 GSPS A/D converter. For the demultiplex selec-  
tion, there are also two possibilities: Demux Mode and Non-  
Demux Mode. The I-channel has two 8-bit output busses  
associated with it: DI and DId. The Q-channel also has two 8-  
bit output busses associated with it: DQ and DQd. In Demux  
Mode, the channel is demultiplexed by 1:2. In Non-Demux  
Mode, the channel is not demultiplexed. Note that Non-De-  
mux Mode is also sometimes referred to as 1:1 Demux Mode.  
For example, if the I-channel was in Non-Demux Mode, the  
corresponding digital output data would be available on only  
the DI bus. If the I-channel was in Demux Mode, the corre-  
sponding digital output data would be available on both the  
DI and DId busses, but at half the rate of Non-Demux Mode.  
For 1:2 Demux DDR 0 deg Mode, there are five, as opposed  
to four cycles of CLK delay from the deassertion of  
DCLK_RST to the Synchronizing Edge. See 1.5 MULTIPLE  
ADC SYNCHRONIZATION  
1.1.5.3 Double Data Rate  
A choice of single data rate (SDR) or double data rate (DDR)  
output is offered. With single data rate the output clock  
(DCLK) frequency is the same as the data rate of the two out-  
put buses. With double data rate the DCLK frequency is half  
Given that there are two DES Mode selections (DES Mode  
and Non-DES Mode) and two demultiplex selections (Demux  
Mode and Non-Demux Mode), this yields a total of four pos-  
www.national.com  
30  
sible modes: (1) Non-Demux Mode, (2) Non-Demux DES  
Mode, (3) 1:2 Demux Non-DES Mode, and (4) 1:4 Demux  
DES Mode. The following is a brief explanation of the terms  
and modes:  
power consumption. If the LVDS lines are long and/or the  
system in which the ADC08D1520QML is used is noisy, it may  
be necessary to tie the OutV pin high.  
The LVDS data output have a typical common mode voltage  
of 800 mV when the VBG pin is left floating. This common  
mode voltage can be increased to 1.1V by tying the VBG pin  
to VA if a higher common mode is required.  
1. Non-Demux Mode: This mode is when the chip is in Non-  
Demux Mode and Non-DES Mode, but it is shortened to  
simply "Non-Demux Mode." The I- and Q- channels  
function independently of one another. The digital output  
data is available for the I- channel on DI, and for the Q-  
channel on DQ.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Tying the VBG pin to VA will also in-  
crease the differential LVDS output voltage by up to 40mV.  
1.1.7 Power Down  
2. Non-Demux DES Mode: This mode is when the chip is  
in Non-Demux Mode and DES Mode. The I- and Q-  
channels are interleaved and function together as one  
channel. The digital output data is available on the DI and  
DQ busses because although the chip is in Non-Demux  
Mode, both I- and Q- channels are functioning and  
passing data.  
The ADC08D1520QML is in the active state when the Power  
Down pin (PD) is low. When the PD pin is high, the device is  
in the Power Down Mode. In this Power Down Mode the data  
output pins (positive and negative) are put into a high  
impedance state and the devices power consumption is re-  
duced to a minimal level. The DCLK+/- and OR +/- are not tri-  
stated, they are weakly pulled down to ground internally.  
Therefore when both I- Channel and Q- Channel are powered  
down the DCLK +/- and OR +/- should not be terminated to a  
DC voltage.  
3. 1:2 Demux Non-DES Mode: This mode is when the chip  
is in Demux Mode and Non-DES Mode. The I- and Q-  
channels function independently of one another. The  
digital output data is available for the I- channel on DI and  
DId, and for the Q- channel on DQ and DQd. This is  
because each channel (I- channel and Q- channel) is  
providing digital data in a demultiplexed manner.  
A high on the PDQ pin will power down the Q- Channel and  
leave the I- channel active. There is no provision to power  
down the I- Channel independently of the Q- Channel. Upon  
return to normal operation, the pipeline will contain meaning-  
less information.  
4. 1:4 Demux DES Mode: This mode is when the chip is in  
Demux Mode and DES Mode. The I- and Q- channels  
are interleaved and function together as one channel.  
The digital output data is available on the DI, DId, DQ and  
DQd busses because although the chip is in Demux  
Mode, both I- and Q- channels are functioning and  
passing data. To avoid confusion, this mode is labeled  
1:4 because the analog input signal is provided on one  
channel and the digital output data is provided on four  
busses.  
If the PD input is brought high while a calibration is running,  
the device will not go into power down until the calibration  
sequence is complete. However, if power is applied and PD  
is simultaneously ramped, the device will not calibrate until  
the PD input goes low. If a calibration is requested while the  
device is powered down, the calibration request will be com-  
pletely ignored. Calibration will function with the Q- Channel  
powered down, but that channel will not be calibrated if PDQ  
is high. If the Q- Channel is subsequently to be used, it is  
necessary to perform a calibration after PDQ is brought low.  
The choice of Dual Data Rate (DDR) and Single Data Rate  
(SDR) will only affect the speed of the output Data Clock  
(DCLK). Once the DES Modes and Demux Modes have been  
chosen, the data output rate is also fixed. In the case of SDR,  
the DCLK runs at the same rate as the output data; output  
data may transition with either the rising or falling edge of  
DCLK. In the case of DDR, the DCLK runs at half the rate of  
the output data; the output data transitions on both rising and  
falling edges of the DCLK.  
1.2 NON-EXTENDED CONTROL/EXTENDED CONTROL  
The ADC08D1520QML may be operated in one of two  
modes. In the simpler Non-Extended Control Mode, the user  
affects available configuration and control of the device  
through several control pins. The "Extended Control Mode"  
provides additional configuration and control options through  
a serial interface and a set of 9 registers. Extended Control  
Mode is selected by setting pin 41 to logic low. The choice of  
control modes is required to be a fixed selection and is not  
intended to be switched dynamically while the device is op-  
erational.  
1.1.6 The LVDS Outputs  
The data outputs, the Out Of Range (OR) and DCLK, are  
LVDS. Output current sources provide 3 mA of output current  
to a differential 100 Ohm load when the OutV input (pin 14) is  
high or 2.2 mA when the OutV input is low. For short LVDS  
lines and low noise systems, satisfactory performance may  
be realized with the OutV input low, which results in lower  
Table 3 shows how several of the device features are affected  
by the control mode chosen.

Each Register access consists of 32 bits, as shown in Figure  
6 of the Timing Diagrams. The fixed header pattern is 0000  
0000 0001 (eleven zeros followed by a 1). The loading se-  
quence is such that a "0" is loaded first. These 12 bits form  
the header. The next 4 bits are the address of the register that  
is to be written to and the last 16 bits are the data written to  
the addressed register. The addresses of the various regis-  
ters are indicated in Table 5.

Subsequent register accesses may be performed immediate-  
ly, starting with the 33rd SCLK. This means that the SCS input  
does not have to be de-asserted and asserted again between  
register addresses. It is possible, although not recommended,  
to keep the SCS input permanently enabled (at a logic low)  
when using extended control.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not write to the Serial Interface when  
calibrating the ADC. Doing so will impair the performance of  
the device until it is re-calibrated correctly. Programming the  
serial registers will also reduce dynamic performance of the  
ADC for the duration of the register access time.

1.4 REGISTER DESCRIPTION  
Bit 10  
nDE: DDR Enable. When this bit is set to 0b,  
data bus clocking follows the DDR (Double  
Data Rate) Mode whereby a data word is  
output with each rising and falling edge of  
DCLK. When this bit is set to a 1b, data bus  
clocking follows the SDR (single data rate)  
Mode whereby each data word is output with  
either the rising or falling edge of DCLK , as  
determined by the OutEdge bit.  
Nine write-only registers provide several control and config-  
uration options in the Extended Control Mode. These regis-  
ters have no effect when the device is in the Non-Extended  
Control Mode. Each register description below also shows the  
Register Default State.

same function as the OutV pin that is used in  
the Non-Extended Control Mode. When this bit  
is set to 1b, the standard output amplitude of  
780 mVP-P is used. When this bit is set to 0b,  
the reduced output amplitude of 590 mVP-P is  
used.

CAL: Calibration Enable. When this bit is set  
1b, a command calibration cycle is initiated.  
This function is exactly the same as issuing  
a calibration using the CAL pin. See section  
2.5.2.1, Initiating Calibration for details for  
usage.  
Default State: 1b  
Bit 8  
OED: Output Edge and Demultiplex Control.  
This bit has two functions. When the device is  
in SDR Mode, this bit selects the DCLK edge  
with which the data words transition in the  
SDR Mode and has the same effect as the  
OutEdge pin in the Non-Extended Control  
Mode. When this bit is set to 1b, the data  
outputs change with the rising edge of DCLK  
+. When this bit is set to 0b, the data output  
changes with the falling edge of DCLK+. When  
the device is in DDR Mode, this bit selects the  
Non-Demultiplexed Mode when set to 1b.  
When the bit set to 0b, the device is  
programmed into the 1:2 Demultiplexed Mode.  
The 1:2 Demultiplexed Mode is the default  
mode. In DDR Mode, DCLK has a 0° phase  
relationship with the data.

effect in the DDR Mode. When this bit is set to  
0b, the DCLK edges are time-aligned with the  
data bus edges ("0° Phase"). When this bit is  
set to 1b, the DCLK edges are placed in the  
middle of the data bit-cells ("90° Phase"),  
using the one-half speed DCLK shown in

Note Regarding Extended Mode Offset Correction  
When using the I- Channel or Q- Channel Offset Adjust reg-  
isters, the following information should be noted.  
For offset values of +0000 0000 and -0000 0000, the actual  
offset is not the same. By changing only the sign bit in this  
case, an offset step in the digital output code of about 1/10th  
of an LSB is experienced. This is shown more clearly in the  
Figure below.

Note Regarding Clock Phase Adjust  
Bits 6:0  
This is a feature intended to help the system designer remove  
small imbalances in clock distribution traces at the board level  
when multiple ADCs are used. Please note, however, that  
enabling this feature will reduce the dynamic performance  
(ENOB, SNR SFDR) some finite amount. The amount of  
degradation increases with the amount of adjustment applied.  
The user is strongly advised to (a) use the minimal amount of  
adjustment: and (b) verify the net benefit of this feature in his  
system before relying on it.

The ADC08D1520QML has the capability to precisely reset  
its sampling clock input to DCLK output relationship as de-  
termined by the user-supplied DCLK_RST pulse. This allows  
multiple ADCs in a system to have their DCLK (and data) out-  
puts transition at the same time with respect to the shared  
CLK input that they all the ADCs use for sampling.

The DCLK_RST signal must observe some timing require-  
ments that are shown in Figure 7, Figure 8 and Figure 9 of the  
Timing Diagrams. The DCLK_RST pulse must be of a mini-  
mum width and its deassertion edge must observe setup and  
hold times with respect to the CLK input rising edge. These  
timing specifications are listed as tRH, tRS, and tRPW in the  
Converter Electrical Characteristics.

The DCLK_RST signal can be asserted asynchronous to the  
input clock. If DCLK_RST is asserted, the DCLK output is held  
in a designated state. The state in which DCLK is held during  
the reset period is determined by the mode of operation (SDR/  
DDR) and the setting of the Output Edge configuration pin or  
bit. (Refer to Figure 7, Figure 8 and Figure 9 for the DCLK  
reset state conditions). Therefore, depending upon when the  
DCLK_RST signal is asserted, there may be a narrow pulse  
on the DCLK line during this reset event. When the  
DCLK_RST signal is de-asserted in synchronization with the  
CLK rising edge, the 4th or 5th CLK falling edge synchronizes  
the DCLK output with those of other ADC08D1520QMLs in  
the system. The DCLK output is enabled again after a con-  
stant delay (relative to the input clock frequency) which is  
equal to the CLK input to DCLK output delay (tSD). The device  
always exhibits this delay characteristic in normal operation.

As shown in Figure 7, Figure 8 and Figure 9of the Timing Di-  
agrams, there is a delay from the deassertion of DCLK_RST  
to the reappearance of DCLK, which is equal to several CLK  
cycles of delay plus tSD. Note that the deassertion of  
DCLK_RST is not latched in until the next falling edge of CLK.  
For 1:2 Demux DDR 0 deg Mode, there are five CLK cycles  
of delay; for all other modes, there are four CLK cycles of  
delay.

If the device is not programmed to allow DCLK to run contin-

Therefore, it is strongly recommended that DCLK only be

The DCLK_RST pin should NOT be brought high while the  
calibration process is running (while CalRun is high). Doing  
so could cause a digital glitch in the digital circuitry, resulting  
in corruption and invalidation of the calibration. (See Applica-

1.6 ADC TEST PATTERN  
To aid in system debug, the ADC08D1520QML has the ca-  
pability of providing a test pattern at the four output ports  
completely independent of the input signal. The ADC is dis-  
engaged and a test pattern generator is connected to the  
outputs including OR. The test pattern output is the same in  
DES Mode and Non-DES Mode. Each port is given a unique  
To ensure that the test pattern starts synchronously in each  
port, set DCLK_RST while writing the Test Pattern Output bit  
in the Extended Configuration Register. The pattern appears  
at the data output ports when DCLK_RST is cleared low. The  
test pattern will work at speed and will work with the device in  
the SDR, DDR and the Non-Demultiplex output modes.

FSR pin grounded, the millivolt values in Table 8 are reduced  
to 75% of the values indicated. In the Extended Control Mode,  
these values will be determined by the full scale range and  
offset settings in the Control Registers.  
2.0 Applications Information  
2.1 APPLICATIONS IN RADIATION ENVIRONMENTS  
Applying the ADC08D1520QML in a radiation environment  
should be done with careful consideration to that environ-  
ment. The QMLV version of this part has been rated to tolerate  
a high total dose of ionizing radiation by test method 1019 of  
MIL-STD-883. The part is also immune to SEE (Single Event  
Effects) hard errors such as Single Event Latch-up and Func-  
tional Interrupts. However, there are still some recommenda-  
tions and cautions.

Floating pins. There are four tri-level pins which activate the  
following modes when left floating: FSR/DCLK_RST-, Out-  
Edge/DDR/SDATA, DRST_SEL and DES/SCS. If modes re-  
quiring a floating pin are needed to be used, then it is strongly  
recommended that the floating method of establishing Va/2  
on these pins not be employed. Due to the potential of in-  
creased leakage of the input protection diodes after large  
ionizing doses, the midpoint voltage (Va/2 or 0.95V) should  
be voltage forced or formed with a resistor divider from the  
analog supply to ground with two 2K ohm resistors. The tol-  
erance for this mid point voltage is 650mV VA/2 1.2V. The  
internal voltage divider resistors provide too little current to  
set the midpoint voltage reliably in radiation environments.

The buffered analog inputs simplify the task of driving these  
inputs and the RC pole that is generally used at sampling ADC  
inputs is not required. If it is desired to use an amplifier circuit  
before the ADC, use care in choosing an amplifier with ade-  
quate noise and distortion performance and adequate gain at  
the frequencies used for the application.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: An Analog input channel that is not used  
(e.g. in DES Mode) should be left floating when the inputs are  
a.c. coupled. Do not connect an unused analog input to  
ground.  
2.2 THE REFERENCE VOLTAGE  
The voltage reference for the ADC08D1520QML is derived  
from a 1.254V bandgap reference, a buffered version of which  
is made available at pin 31, VBG, for user convenience. This  
output has an output current capability of ±100 μA and should  
be buffered if more current is required.  
The internal bandgap-derived reference voltage has a nomi-  
nal value VIN, as determined by the FSR pin and described in  
1.1.4 The Analog Inputs.  
There is no provision for the use of an external reference volt-  
age, but the full-scale input voltage can be adjusted through  
a Full Scale Register in the Extended Control Mode, as ex-  
plained in 1.2 NON-EXTENDED CONTROL/EXTENDED  
CONTROL.  
30024744  
FIGURE 12. Differential Input Drive  
Differential input signals up to the chosen full-scale level will  
be digitized to 8 bits. Signal excursions beyond the full-scale  
range will be clipped at the output. These large signal excur-  
sions will also activate the OR output for the time that the  
signal is out of range. See 2.3.2 Out Of Range (OR) Indica-  
tion.  
2.3.1 Handling Single-Ended Input Signals  
There is no provision for the ADC08D1520QML to adequately  
process single-ended input signals. The best way to handle  
single-ended signals is to convert them to differential signals  
before presenting them to the ADC. The easiest way to ac-  
complish single-ended to differential signal conversion is with  
an appropriate balun-connected transformer, as shown in  
Figure 13.  
One extra feature of the VBG pin is that it can be used to raise  
the common mode voltage level of the LVDS outputs. The  
output offset voltage (VOS) is typically 800 mV when the VBG  
pin is used as an output or left unconnected. To raise the  
LVDS offset voltage to a typical value of 1100 mV the VBG pin  
can be connected directly to the supply rails.  
2.3.1.1. a.c. Coupled Input  
The easiest way to accomplish single-ended a.c. Input to dif-  
ferential a.c. signal is with an appropriate balun, as shown in  
Figure 13.  
2.3 THE ANALOG INPUT  
The analog input is a differential one to which the signal  
source must be a.c. coupled as shown in Figure 12. In the  
Non-Extended Control Mode, the full-scale input range is se-  
lected with the FSR pin as specified in the Converter Electrical  
Characteristics. In the Extended Control Mode, the full-scale  
input range is selected by programming the Full-Scale Volt-  
age Adjust register through the Serial Interface. For best  
performance, when adjusting the input full-scale range in the  
Extended Control, refer to 1.4 REGISTER DESCRIPTION for  
guidelines on limiting the amount of adjustment.  
Table 8 gives the input to output relationship with the FSR pin  
high when the normal (Non-Extended) Mode is used. With the

tested and its performance is guaranteed with a differential  
1.5 GHz clock, it typically will function well with input clock  
frequencies indicated in the Converter Electrical Character-  
istics. The clock inputs are internally terminated and biased.  
The input clock signal must be capacitive coupled to the clock  
pins as indicated in Figure 14.  
Operation up to the sample rates indicated in the Converter  
Electrical Characteristics is typically possible if the maximum  
ambient temperatures indicated are not exceeded. Operating  
at higher sample rates than indicated for the given ambient  
temperature may result in reduced device reliability and prod-  
uct lifetime. This is because of the higher power consumption  
and die temperatures at high sample rates. Important also for  
reliability is proper thermal management. See 2.7.2 Thermal  
Management.

FIGURE 13. Single-Ended to Differential Signal  
Conversion using a Balun  
Figure 13 is a generic depiction of a single-ended to differen-  
tial signal conversion using a balun. The circuitry specific to  
the balun will depend upon the type of balun selected and the  
overall board layout. It is recommended that the system de-  
signer contact the manufacturer of the balun they have se-  
lected to aid in designing the best performing single-ended to  
differential conversion circuit using that particular balun.  
When selecting a balun, it is important to understand the input  
architecture of the ADC. There are specific balun parameters  
of which the system designer should be mindful. A designer  
should match the impedance of the analog source to the  
ADC08D1520QML’s on-chip 100differential input termina-  
tion resistor. The range of this input termination resistor is  
described in the Converter Electrical Characteristics as the  
specification RIN.  
30024747  
Also, the phase and amplitude balance are important. The  
lowest possible phase and amplitude imbalance is desired  
when selecting a balun. The phase imbalance should be no  
more than ±2.5° and the amplitude imbalance should be lim-  
ited to less than 1dB at the desired input frequency range.  
FIGURE 14. Differential (LVDS) Input Clock Connection  
The differential input clock line pair should have a character-  
istic impedance of 100and (when using a balun), be termi-  
nated at the clock source in that (100 ) characteristic  
impedance. The input clock line should be as short and as  
direct as possible. The ADC08D1520QML clock input is in-  
ternally terminated with an untrimmed 100resistor.  
Insufficient input clock levels will result in poor dynamic per-  
formance. Excessively high input clock levels could cause a  
change in the analog input offset voltage. To avoid these  
problems, keep the input clock level within the range specified  
in the Converter Electrical Characteristics.  
Finally, when selecting a balun, the VSWR (Voltage Standing  
Wave Ratio), bandwidth and insertion loss of the balun should  
also be considered. The VSWR aids in determining the overall  
transmission line termination capability of the balun when in-  
terfacing to the ADC input. The insertion loss should be  
considered so that the signal at the balun output is within the  
specified input range of the ADC as described in the Con-  
verter Electrical Characteristics as the specification VIN.  
The low and high times of the input clock signal can affect the  
performance of any A/D Converter. The ADC08D1520QML  
features a duty cycle clock correction circuit which can main-  
tain performance over temperature even in DES Mode. The  
ADC will meet its performance specification if the input  
clock high and low times are maintained within the range  
(20/80% ratio).  
High speed, high performance ADCs such as the AD-  
C08D1520QML require a very stable input clock signal with  
minimum phase noise or jitter. ADC jitter requirements are  
defined by the ADC resolution (number of bits), maximum  
ADC input frequency and the input signal amplitude relative  
to the ADC input full scale range. The maximum jitter (the sum  
of the jitter from all sources) allowed to prevent a jitter-induced  
reduction in SNR is found to be  
2.3.2 Out Of Range (OR) Indication  
When the conversion result is clipped the Out of Range output  
is activated such that OR+ goes high and OR- goes low. This  
output is active as long as accurate data on either or both of  
the buses would be outside the range of 00h to FFh. Note that  
when the device is programmed to provide a second DCLK  
output, the OR signals become DCLK2. Refer to 1.4 REGIS-  
TER DESCRIPTION.  
2.3.3 Full-Scale Input Range  
As with all A/D Converters, the input range is determined by  
the value of the ADC's reference voltage. The reference volt-  
age of the ADC08D1520QML is derived from an internal  
band-gap reference. The FSR pin controls the effective ref-  
erence voltage of the ADC08D1520QML such that the differ-  
ential full-scale input range at the analog inputs is a normal  
amplitude with the FSR pin high, or a reduced amplitude with  
FSR pin low as defined by the specification VIN in the Con-  
verter Electrical Characteristics. Best SNR is obtained with  
FSR high.  
tJ(MAX) = (VIN(P-P)/VINFSR) x (1/(2(N+1) x π x fIN))  
where tJ(MAX) is the rms total of all jitter sources in seconds,  
VIN(P-P) is the peak-to-peak analog input signal, VINFSR is the  
full-scale range of the ADC, "N" is the ADC resolution in bits  
and fIN is the maximum input frequency, in Hertz, at the ADC  
analog input.  
2.4 THE CLOCK INPUTS  
The ADC08D1520QML has differential LVDS clock inputs,  
CLK+ and CLK-, which must be driven with an a.c. coupled,  
differential clock signal. Although the ADC08D1520QML is  
Note that the maximum jitter described above is the RSS sum  
of the jitter from all sources, including that in the ADC input  
clock, that added by the system to the ADC input clock and  
39  
www.national.com  
input signals and that added by the ADC itself. Since the ef-  
fective jitter added by the ADC is beyond user control, the best  
the user can do is to keep the sum of the externally added  
input clock jitter and the jitter added by the analog circuitry to  
the analog signal to a minimum.  
and then programmed to 1b for a minimum of tCAL_H input  
clock cycles to initiate a calibration cycle. The CalRun signal  
should be monitored to determine when the calibration cycle  
has completed. The CalRun pin will become a logic high in-  
dicating an active calibration cycle regardless of which  
method was used to initiate the calibration cycle. Note that the  
DCLK outputs are not active during a calibration cycle; there-  
fore, it is not recommended for use as a system clock.  
Input clock amplitudes above those specified in the Converter  
Electrical Characteristics may result in increased input offset  
voltage. This would cause the converter to produce an output  
code other than the expected 127/128 when both input pins  
are at the same potential.  
The minimum number of tCAL_L and tCAL_H input clock cycle  
sequences are required to ensure that random noise does not  
cause a calibration to begin when it is not desired. As men-  
tioned in 1.1 OVERVIEW, for best performance, a calibration  
should be performed 20 seconds or more after power up and  
repeated when the operating temperature changes signifi-  
cantly relative to the specific system design performance  
requirements. Dynamic performance changes slightly with in-  
creasing junction temperature and can be easily corrected by  
performing a calibration.  
2.5 CONTROL PINS  
Six control pins (without the use of the serial interface) provide  
a wide range of possibilities in the operation of the AD-  
C08D1520QML and facilitate its use. These control pins pro-  
vide Full-Scale Input Range setting, Self Calibration, Output  
Edge Synchronization choice, LVDS Output Level choice and  
a Power Down feature.  
2.5.1 Full-Scale Input Range Setting  
2.5.3 Output Edge Synchronization  
The input full-scale range can be selected with the FSR con-  
trol input (pin 14) in the Normal Mode of operation. The input  
full-scale range is specified as VIN in the Converter Electrical  
Characteristics. In the Extended Control Mode, the input full-  
scale range may be programmed using the Full-Scale Adjust  
Voltage register. See 2.3 THE ANALOG INPUT for more in-  
formation.  
DCLK signals are available to help latch the converter output  
data into external circuitry. The output data can be synchro-  
nized with either edge of these DCLK signals. That is, the  
output data transition can be set to occur with either the rising  
edge or the falling edge of the DCLK signal, so that either  
edge of that DCLK signal can be used to latch the output data  
into the receiving circuit.  
When OutEdge (pin 4) is high, the output data is synchronized  
with (changes with) the rising edge of the DCLK+ (pin 82).  
When OutEdge is low, the output data is synchronized with  
the falling edge of DCLK+.  
2.5.2 Calibration  
The ADC08D1520QML calibration must be run to achieve  
specified performance. The calibration must be initiated by  
the user. The calibration procedure is exactly the same  
whether there is an input clock present upon power up or if  
the clock begins some time after application of power. The  
CalRun output indicator is high while a calibration is in  
progress. Note that the DCLK outputs are not active during a  
calibration cycle by default, therefore it is not recommended  
for use as a system clock. The DCLK outputs are continuously  
present at the output only when the Resistor Trim Disable is  
activated.  
At the very high speeds of which the ADC08D1520QML is  
capable, slight differences in the lengths of the DCLK and  
data lines can mean the difference between successful and  
erroneous data capture. The OutEdge pin is used to capture  
data on the DCLK edge that best suits the application circuit  
and layout.  
2.5.4 LVDS Output Level Control  
The output level can be set to one of two levels with OutV  
(pin3). The strength of the output drivers is greater with OutV  
high. With OutV low there is less power consumption in the  
output drivers, but the lower output level means decreased  
noise immunity.  
2.5.2.1 Initiating Calibration  
A calibration may be run at any time in both the Non-DES and  
DES Modes. After power-up, we recommend that the part be  
calibrated with the Resistor Trim Disable inactive once the  
power supplies have stabilized and the temperature of the  
chip has stabilized. When a calibration is run with the Resistor  
Trim Disable inactive, both the ADC and the input termination  
resistor are calibrated. However, since the input termination  
resistance changes only marginally with temperature, the us-  
er has the option to disable the input termination resistor  
calibration for subsequent calibrations, which will guarantee  
that the DCLK is continuously present at the output. The Re-  
sistor Trim Disable can be programmed in the Extended  
Configuration register (Addr: 9h) when in the Extended Con-  
trol Mode. Refer to Extended Configuration Register for reg-  
ister programming information.  
For short LVDS lines and low noise systems, satisfactory per-  
formance may be realized with the OutV input low. If the LVDS  
lines are long and/or the system in which the AD-  
C08D1520QML is used is noisy, it may be necessary to tie  
the OutV pin high.  
2.5.5 Dual Edge Sampling  
The Dual Edge Sampling (DES) feature causes one of the two  
input pairs to be routed to both ADCs. The other input pair is  
deactivated. One of the ADCs samples the input signal on the  
rising input clock edge (duty cycle corrected), the other sam-  
ples the input signal on the falling input clock edge (duty cycle  
corrected). If the device is in the 1:4 Demux DES Mode, the  
result is an output data rate 1/4 that of the interleaved sample  
rate which is twice the input clock frequency. Data is present-  
ed in parallel on all four output buses in the following order:  
DQd, DId, DQ, DI. If the device is the Non-Demultiplex output  
mode, the result is an output data rate 1/2 that of the inter-  
leaved sample rate. Data is presented in parallel on two  
output buses in the following order: DQ, DI.  
As dynamic performance changes slightly with junction tem-  
perature, a calibration may be executed to bring the perfor-  
mance of the ADC in line. Two methods can be used initiate  
a calibration. The first method is to hold the CAL pin low for  
at least tCAL_L input clock cycles, then hold it high for at least  
another tCAL_H input clock cycles. The second method is to  
program the CAL bit in the Calibration register while in Ex-  
tended Control Mode. The functionality of the CAL bit is  
exactly the same as using the CAL pin. The CAL bit must be  
programmed to 0b for a minimum of tCAL_Linput clock cycles

To use this feature in the Non-Extended Control Mode, tie pin  
127 to VA/2 and the signal at the I- channel input will be sam-  
pled by both converters.  
centimeter. Leadless chip capacitors are preferred because  
they have low lead inductance.  
The VA and VDR supply pins should be isolated from each  
other to prevent any digital noise from being coupled into the  
analog portions of the ADC. A ferrite choke, such as the JW  
Miller FB20009-3B, is recommended between these supply  
lines when a common source is used for them.  
In the Extended Control Mode, either input may be used for  
dual edge sampling. See 1.1.5.1 Dual-Edge Sampling.  
2.5.6 Power Down Feature  
The Power Down pins (PD and PDQ) allow the AD-  
C08D1520QML to be entirely powered down (PD) or the Q-  
Channel channel to be powered down and the I- Channel to  
remain active. See 1.1.7 Power Down for details on the power  
down feature.  
As is the case with all high speed converters, the AD-  
C08D1520QML should be assumed to have little power sup-  
ply noise rejection. Any power supply used for digital circuitry  
in a system where a lot of digital power is being consumed  
should not be used to supply power to the ADC08D1520QML.  
The ADC supplies should be the same supply used for other  
analog circuitry, if not a dedicated supply.  
The digital data (+/-) output pins are put into a high impedance  
state when the PD pin for the respective channel is high. Upon  
return to normal operation, the pipeline will contain meaning-  
less information and must be flushed.  
2.7.1 Supply Voltage  
The ADC08D1520QML is specified to operate with a supply  
voltage of 1.9V ±0.1V. It is very important to note that, while  
this device will function with slightly higher supply voltages,  
these higher supply voltages may reduce product lifetime.  
If the PD input is brought high while a calibration is running,  
the device will not go into power down until the calibration  
sequence is complete. However, if power is applied and PD  
is simultaneously ramped, the device will not calibrate until  
the PD input goes low. When PD is high and a calibration is  
initiated, the request for calibration is completely ignored. Re-  
fer to 1.1.7 Power Down  
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of the  
supply voltage or below ground by more than 150 mV, not  
even on a transient basis. This can be a problem upon appli-  
cation of power and power shut-down. Be sure that the sup-  
plies to circuits driving any of the input pins, analog or digital,  
do not come up any faster than does the voltage at the AD-  
C08D1520QML power pins.  
2.6 THE DIGITAL OUTPUTS  
The ADC08D1520QML demultiplexes the output data of each  
of the two ADCs on the die onto two LVDS output buses (total  
of four buses, two for each ADC). For each of the two con-  
verters, the results of successive conversions started on the  
odd falling edges of the CLK+ pin are available on one of the  
two LVDS buses, while the results of conversions started on  
the even falling edges of the CLK+ pin are available on the  
other LVDS bus. This means that, the word rate at each LVDS  
bus is 1/2 the ADC08D1520QML input clock rate and the two  
buses must be multiplexed to obtain the entire 1.5 GSPS  
conversion result.  
The Absolute Maximum Ratings should be strictly observed,  
even during power up and power down. A power supply that  
produces a voltage spike at turn-on and/or turn-off of power  
can destroy the ADC08D1520QML. The circuit of Figure 15  
will provide supply overshoot protection.  
Many linear regulators will produce output spiking at power-  
on unless there is a minimum load provided. Active devices  
draw very little current until their supply voltages reach a few  
hundred millivolts. The result can be a turn-on spike that can  
destroy the ADC08D1520QML, unless a minimum load is  
provided for the supply. The 100resistor at the regulator  
output provides a minimum output current during power-up to  
ensure there is no turn-on spiking.  
Since the minimum recommended input clock rate for this  
device is 200 MSPS (Non DES Mode), the effective rate can  
be reduced to as low as 100 MSPS by using the results avail-  
able on just one of the two LVDS buses and a 200 MHz input  
clock, decimating the 200 MSPS data by two.  
In the circuit of Figure 15, an LM317 linear regulator is satis-  
factory if its input supply voltage is 4V to 5V . If a 3.3V supply  
is used, an LM1086 linear regulator is recommended.  
There is one LVDS output clock pair (DCLK+/-) available for  
use to latch the LVDS outputs on all buses. Whether the data  
is sent at the rising or falling edge of DCLK is determined by  
the sense of the OutEdge pin, as described in 2.5.3 Output  
Edge Synchronization.  
DDR (Double Data Rate) clocking can also be used. In this  
mode a word of data is presented with each edge of DCLK,  
reducing the DCLK frequency to 1/4 the input clock frequency.  
See the Timing Diagram section for details.  
The OutV pin is used to set the LVDS differential output levels.  
See 2.5.4 LVDS Output Level Control.  
The output format is Offset Binary. Accordingly, a full-scale  
input level with VIN+ positive with respect to VIN− will produce  
an output code of all ones, a full-scale input level with VIN−  
positive with respect to VIN+ will produce an output code of all  
zeros and when VIN+ and VIN− are equal, the output code will  
vary between codes 127 and 128.  
30024754  
FIGURE 15. Non-Spiking Power Supply  
The output drivers should have a supply voltage, VDR, that is  
within the range specified in the Operating Ratings table. This  
voltage should not exceed the VA supply voltage.  
2.7 POWER CONSIDERATIONS  
If the power is applied to the device without an input clock  
signal present, the current drawn by the device might be be-  
low 200 mA. This is because the ADC08D1520QML gets  
reset through clocked logic and its initial state is unknown. If  
the reset logic comes up in the "on" state, it will cause most  
of the analog circuitry to be powered down, resulting in less  
A/D converters draw sufficient transient current to corrupt  
their own power supplies if not adequately bypassed. A 33 µF  
capacitor should be placed within an inch (2.5 cm) of the A/D  
converter power pins. A 0.1 µF capacitor should be placed as  
close as possible to each VA pin, preferably within one-half  
41  
www.national.com  
than 100 mA of current draw. This current is greater than the  
power down current because not all of the ADC is powered  
down. The device current will be normal after the input clock  
is established.  
top and bottom copper areas. These thermal vias act as "heat  
pipes" to carry the thermal energy from the device side of the  
board to the opposite side of the board where it can be more  
effectively dissipated. The use of approximately 100 thermal  
vias is recommended. Use of a higher weight copper on the  
internal ground plane is recommended, (i.e. 2OZ instead of  
1OZ, for thermal considerations only.  
2.7.2 Thermal Management  
The ADC08D1520QML is capable of impressive speeds and  
performance at very low power levels for its speed. However,  
the power consumption is still high enough to require attention  
to thermal management. For reliability reasons, the die tem-  
perature should be kept to a maximum of 150°C. That is, TA  
(ambient temperature) plus ADC power consumption times  
θJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance) should not ex-  
ceed 150°C.  
The thermal vias should be placed on a 61mil grid spacing  
and have a diameter of 15 mil typically. These vias should be  
barrel plated to avoid solder wicking into the vias during the  
soldering process as this wicking could cause voids in the  
solder between the package exposed pad and the thermal  
land on the PCB. Such voids could increase the thermal re-  
sistance between the device and the thermal land on the  
board, which would cause the device to run hotter.  
Please note that the following are recommendations for  
mounting this device onto a PCB. This should be considered  
the starting point in PCB and assembly process development.  
It is recommended that the process be developed based upon  
past experience in package mounting.  
If it is desired to monitor die temperature, a temperature sen-  
sor may be mounted on the heat sink area of the board near  
the thermal vias. Allow for a thermal gradient between the  
temperature sensor and the ADC08D1520QML die of θJ-PAD  
times typical power consumption.  
The bottom of the package of the ADC08D1520QML provides  
the primary heat removal path as well as excellent electrical  
grounding to the printed circuit board. The land pattern design  
for lead attachment to the PCB should be the same as for a  
conventional LQFP, but the bottom of the package must be  
attached to the board to remove the maximum amount of heat  
from the package, as well as to ensure best product para-  
metric performance.  
2.8 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING  
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essen-  
tial to ensure accurate conversion. A single ground plane  
should be used, instead of splitting the ground plane into ana-  
log and digital areas.  
Since digital switching transients are composed largely of  
high frequency components, the skin effect tells us that total  
ground plane copper weight will have little effect upon the  
logic-generated noise. Total surface area is more important  
than is total ground plane volume. Coupling between the typ-  
ically noisy digital circuitry and the sensitive analog circuitry  
can lead to poor performance that may seem impossible to  
isolate and remedy. The solution is to keep the analog cir-  
cuitry well separated from the digital circuitry.  
To maximize the removal of heat from the package, a thermal  
land pattern must be incorporated on the PC board within the  
footprint of the package. The bottom of the device must be  
soldered down to ensure adequate heat conduction out of the  
package. The land pattern for this exposed pad should be as  
large as the 600 x 600 mil bottom of the package and be lo-  
cated such that the bottom of the device is entirely over that  
thermal land pattern. This thermal land pattern should be  
electrically connected to ground.  
High power digital components should not be located on or  
near any linear component or power supply trace or plane that  
services analog or mixed signal components as the resulting  
common return current path could cause fluctuation in the  
analog input “ground” return of the ADC, causing excessive  
noise in the conversion result.  
Generally, we assume that analog and digital lines should  
cross each other at 90° to avoid getting digital noise into the  
analog path. In high frequency systems, however, avoid  
crossing analog and digital lines altogether. The input clock  
lines should be isolated from ALL other lines, analog AND  
digital. The generally accepted 90° crossing should be avoid-  
ed as even a little coupling can cause problems at high  
frequencies. Best performance at high frequencies is ob-  
tained with a straight signal path.  
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces  
to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. This is  
especially important with the low level drive required of the  
ADC08D1520QML. Any external component (e.g., a filter ca-  
pacitor) connected between the converter's input and ground  
should be connected to a very clean point in the analog  
ground plane. All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, etc.)  
should be separated from any digital components.  
30024721  
FIGURE 16. Recommended Package Land Pattern  
Since a large aperture opening may result in poor release, the  
aperture opening should be subdivided into an array of small-  
er openings, similar to the land pattern of Figure 16.  
2.9 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE  
To minimize junction temperature, it is recommended that a  
simple heat sink be built into the PCB. This is done by includ-  
ing a copper area of about 2.25 square inches (14.52 square  
cm) on the opposite side of the PCB. This copper area may  
be plated or solder coated to prevent corrosion, but should  
not have a conformal coating, which could provide some ther-  
mal insulation. Thermal vias should be used to connect these  
The ADC08D1520QML is a.c. tested and its dynamic perfor-  
mance is guaranteed. To meet the published specifications  
and avoid jitter-induced noise, the clock source driving the  
CLK input must exhibit low rms jitter. The allowable jitter is a  
function of the input frequency and the input signal level, as  
described in 2.4 THE CLOCK INPUTS.  
www.national.com  
42  
It is good practice to keep the ADC input clock line as short  
as possible, to keep it well away from any other signals and  
to treat it as a transmission line. Other signals can introduce  
jitter into the input clock signal. The clock signal can also in-  
troduce noise into the analog path if not isolated from that  
path.  
When in Normal Mode, Pin 127 must be tied high. If pin 127  
is tied to VA/2, the converter performs dual edge sampling  
(DES).

Function  
Best dynamic performance is obtained when the exposed pad  
at the back of the package has a good connection to ground.  
This is because this path from the die to ground is a lower  
impedance than offered by the package pins.

2.11 COMMON APPLICATION PITFALLS  
The ADC08D1520QML may be operated in the Non-Extend-  
ed Control (non-Serial Interface) Mode or in the extended  
control mode. Table 9 and Table 10 describe the functions of  
pins 3, 4, 14 and 127 in the Non-Extended Control Mode and  
the Extended Control Mode, respectively.  
Driving the inputs (analog or digital) beyond the power  
supply rails. For device reliability, no input should go more  
than 150 mV below the ground pins or 150 mV above the  
supply pins. Exceeding these limits on even a transient basis  
may not only cause faulty or erratic operation, but may impair  
device reliability. It is not uncommon for high speed digital  
circuits to exhibit undershoot that goes more than a volt below  
ground. Controlling the impedance of high speed lines and  
terminating these lines in their characteristic impedance  
should control overshoot.  
2.10.1 Non-Extended Control Mode Operation  
Non-extended Control Mode operation means that the Serial  
Interface is not active and all controllable functions are con-  
trolled with various pin settings. Pin 41 is the primary control  
of the extended control enable function. When pin 41 is logic  
high, the device is in the Non-Extended Control Mode. If pin  
41 is tied to VA/2 and pin 52 connected to VA/2 or logic high,  
the extended control enable function is controlled by pin 14.  
The device has functions which are pin programmable when  
in the Non-Extended Control Mode. An example is the full-  
scale range is controlled in the Non-Extended Control Mode  
by setting pin 14 high or low. Table 9 indicates the pin func-  
tions of the ADC08D1520QML in the Non-Extended Control  
Mode.  
Care should be taken not to overdrive the inputs of the AD-  
C08D1520QML. Such practice may lead to conversion inac-  
curacies and even to device damage.  
Driving the VBG pin to change the reference voltage. As  
mentioned in 2.2 THE REFERENCE VOLTAGE, the refer-  
ence voltage is intended to be fixed to provide one of two  
different full-scale values (650 mVP-P and 870 mVP-P). Over  
driving this pin will not change the full scale value, but can be  
used to change the LVDS common mode voltage from 0.8V  
to 1.2V by tying the VBG pin to VA.  
TABLE 9. Non-Extended Control Mode Operation  
(Pin 41 VA/2 and Pin 52 VA/2 or Logic High)  
Driving the clock input with an excessively high level  
signal. The ADC input clock level should not exceed the level  
described in the Operating Ratings Table or the input offset  
could change.

Inadequate input clock levels. As described in 2.4 THE  
CLOCK INPUTS, insufficient input clock levels can result in  
poor performance. Excessive input clock levels could result  
in the introduction of an input offset.

Using a clock source with excessive jitter, using an ex-  
cessively long input clock signal trace, or having other  
signals coupled to the input clock signal trace. This will  
cause the sampling interval to vary, causing excessive output  
noise and a reduction in SNR performance.  
Pin 3 can be either high or low in the Non-Extended Control  
Mode. See 1.2 NON-EXTENDED CONTROL/EXTENDED  
CONTROL for more information.  
Failure to provide adequate heat removal. As described in  
2.7.2 Thermal Management, it is important to provide ade-  
quate heat removal to ensure device reliability. This can be  
done either with adequate air flow or the use of a simple heat  
sink built into the board. The backside pad should be ground-  
ed for best performance.  
Pin 4 can be high or low in the Non-Extended Control Mode.  
In the Non-Extended Control Mode, pin 4 high or low defines  
the edge at which the output data transitions. See 2.5.3 Out-  
put Edge Synchronization for more information. If this pin is  
tied to VA/2, the output clock (DCLK) is a DDR (Double Data  
Rate) clock (see 1.1.5.3 Double Data Rate) and the output  
edge synchronization is irrelevant since data is clocked out  
on both DCLK edges.
