ADC08B3000 8-Bit, 3 GSPS, High Performance, Low Power A/D Converter with 4K Buffer  
Check for Samples: ADC08B3000

FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The ADC08B3000 is a single, low power, high  
performance CMOS analog-to-digital converter that  
digitizes signals to 8 bits resolution at sample rates  
up to 3.4 Gigasamples Per Second, (Gsps).  
Consuming a typical 1.6 Watts at 3 Gsps from a  
single 1.9 Volt supply, this device is ensured to have  
no missing codes over the full operating temperature  
range. The unique folding and interpolating  
architecture, the fully differential comparator design,  
the innovative design of the internal sample-and-hold  
amplifier and the calibration scheme enable an  
excellent response of all dynamic parameters up to  
Nyquist, producing a high 7.1 Effective Number Of  
Bits, (ENOB), with a 748 MHz input signal and a 3  
GHz sample rate while providing a 10-18 Code Error  
Rate. A sample rate of 3 Gsps is achieved by  
interleaving two ADCs, each operating at 1.5 Gsps.  
Output formatting is offset binary. The device  
contains a 4K Capture Buffer with output on two 8-bit  
Low Voltage CMOS (LVCMOS) output buses at rates  
up to 200MHz.

Full Scale Range Select / Extended Control Enable  
(Input): LVCMOS - In the Normal (Non-Extended) Control  
Mode, a logic low on this pin sets the full-scale differential  
input range to 600 mVP-P. A logic high on this pin sets the  
full-scale differential input range to 810 mVP-P. See The  
Analog Inputs. To enable the extended control mode,  
whereby the serial interface and control registers are  
employed, allow this pin to float or connect it to a voltage  
equal to VA/2. See NORMAL/EXTENDED CONTROL for  
information on the extended control mode.

Read Enable  
(Input): LVCMOS - A logic high on this input causes a byte  
of data to be read from the Capture Buffer with each RCLK

already asserted. See Coordinating Read Enable (REN) and  
Write Enable (WEN).

on-chip with the internal Sample Clock and is provided at this  
output.  
WENSYNC  
Out Of Range  
(Output): LVCMOS - A logic high on this pin indicates that  
the differential input is out of the linear range. This signal is  
asserted if the input signal has gone out of range at any time  
during the data capture operation. This pin is cleared after  
the Capture Buffer is read or after asserting the RESET pin.

Buffer Full Flag  
(Output): LVCMOS - This signal is asserted synchronous  
with the clock when the capture buffer is full. If the WEN  
input remains asserted, the next CLK will cause an overflow,  
whereby the pointer will wrap around and begin overwriting  
the old data if the Auto Stop Write (ASW) bit is set to 0b in  
the Capture Buffer Control register. This signal is deasserted  
when a read cycle is initiated or a RESET is issued because  
the data buffer is no longer "full".

(1) The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes beyond the Absolute Maximum Ratings may damage this  
device. See Figure 2  
(2) To ensure 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.  
(3) Typical figures are at TA = 25°C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are ensured to AOQL (Average Outgoing  
Quality Level).  
(4) 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 3. For relationship between Gain  
Error and Full-Scale Error, see Specification Definitions for Gain Error.

SPECIFICATION DEFINITIONS  
APERTURE (SAMPLING) DELAY is the amount of delay, measured from the sample edge of the Clock input,  
after which the signal present at the input pin is sampled inside the device.  
APERTURE JITTER (tAJ) is the variation in aperture delay from sample to sample. Aperture jitter shows up as  
input noise.  
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the clock wave form logic high to the total time of one clock period.  
CODE ERROR RATE (C.E.R.) is the probability of error and is defined as the probable number of errors per unit  
of time divided by the number of words seen in that amount of time. A Code Error Rate of 10-18 corresponds to a  
statistical error in one conversion about every four (4) years.  
COMMON MODE VOLTAGE is the d.c. potential that is common to both pins of a differential pair. For a voltage  
to be a common mode one, the signal departure from this d.c. common mode voltage at any given instant must  
be the same for each of the pins, but in opposite directions from each other.  
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB. Measured  
at 3 Gsps with a sine wave input.  
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 perfect ADC of this (ENOB) number of bits.  
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:  
Pos. Gain Error = Offset Error Pos. Full-Scale Error  
(1)  
(2)  
(3)  
Neg. Gain Error = (Offset Error Neg. Full-Scale Error)  
Gain Error = Neg. Full-Scale Error Pos. Full-Scale Error = Pos. Gain Error + Neg. Gain Error  
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is the maximum departure of the transfer curve from a straight line through  
the input to output 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.  
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.  
LSB (LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the smallest value or weight of all bits. This value is  
VFS / 2n  
(4)  
where VFS is the differential full-scale amplitude of VIN as set by the FSR input (pin-14) and "n" is the ADC  
resolution in bits, which is 8 for the ADC08B3000.  
MISSING CODES are those output codes that are skipped and will never appear at the ADC outputs. These  
codes cannot 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.  
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. For the ADC08B3000 the reference voltage is assumed to be ideal, so this error  
is a combination of full-scale error and reference voltage error.  
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 128.  
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 accuracy.

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 ADC08B3000 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, 100 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.  
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 sample 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, including harmonics but excluding d.c.  
SPURIOUS-FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, 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.  
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio expressed 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

where Af1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output) frequency and Af2 through Af10 are the RMS power of  
the first 9 harmonic frequencies in the output spectrum.  
– Second Harmonic Distortion (2nd Harm) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the  
input frequency seen at the output and the power in its 2nd harmonic level at the output.  
– Third Harmonic Distortion (3rd Harm) is the difference expressed in dB between the RMS power in the input  
frequency seen at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic level at the output.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
The ADC08B3000 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 Applications Information.  
While it is generally poor practice to allow an active pin to float, pins 4 and 14 of the ADC08B3000 are designed  
to be left floating without jeopardy. 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 will have the  
same effect as allowing it to float.  
OVERVIEW  
The ADC08B3000 uses a calibrated folding and interpolating architecture that achieves very high performance.  
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 requirements. 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.  
The analog input signal that is within the converter's input voltage range is digitized to eight bits at speeds of 1.0  
Gsps to 3.4 Gsps, typical. Differential input voltages below negative 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 the analog input will cause the OR (Out of Range) output to be activated.  
This single OR output indicates when the output code from the converter is below negative full scale or above  
positive full scale.  
Calibration  
A calibration is performed upon power-up and can also be invoked by the user upon command. Calibration trims  
the 100analog input differential termination resistor and minimizes full-scale error, offset error, DNL and INL,  
resulting in maximizing SNR, THD, SINAD (SNDR) and ENOB. Internal bias currents are also set with the  
calibration process. All of this is true whether the calibration is performed upon power up or is performed upon  
command. Running the calibration is an important part of this chip's functionality and is required in order to obtain  
adequate performance. In addition to the requirement to be run at power-up, calibration must be re-run by the  
user whenever the state of the FSR pin is changed. For best performance, we recommend an on command  
calibration be run after initial power up and the device has reached a stable temperature. Also, we recommend  
that an on-command calibration be run 20 seconds or more after application of power and whenever the  
operating temperature changes significantly relative to the specific system performance requirements. See On-  
Command Calibration for more information. Calibration can not be initiated or run while the device is in the  
power-down mode. See Power Down for information on the interaction between Power Down and Calibration.

SNAS331M JUNE 2006REVISED APRIL 2013  
In normal operation, calibration is performed just after application of power and whenever a valid calibration  
command is given, which is holding the CAL pin low for at least 80 input clock cycles, then hold it high for at  
least another 80 input clock cycles. The time taken by the calibration procedure is specified in the  
AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS section of Converter Electrical Characteristics. Holding the CAL pin high  
during power up will prevent the calibration process from running until the CAL pin experiences the above-  
mentioned 80 input clock cycles low followed by 80 cycles high.  
CalDly (pin 127) is used to select one of two delay times from the application of power before the start of  
calibration. This calibration delay is 225 input clock cycles (about 22 ms with a 1.5 GHz clock) with CalDly low, or  
231 input clock cycles (about 1.4 seconds with a 1.5 GHz clock) with CalDly high. These delay values allow the  
power supply to come up and stabilize before calibration takes place. If the PD pin is high upon power-up, the  
calibration delay counter will be disabled until the PD pin is brought low. Therefore, holding the PD pin high  
during power up will further delay the start of the power-up calibration cycle. The best setting of the CalDly pin  
depends upon the power-on settling time of the power supply.  
NOTE: These things should be noted regarding device calibration:  
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 already high, the device will not  
begin the calibration sequence until the PD input goes low. If a manual calibration is requested while the  
device is powered down, the calibration will not begin at all. That is, the manual calibration input is completely  
ignored in the power down state.  
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.  
If a calibration is initiated at any time after clock phase adjustment has been enabled (bit 15 of Coarse Clock  
Phase Adjust Register, address Eh, set to 1b), the internal clock will stop running at the very beginning of the  
calibration sequence. It is important to ensure that the clock phase enable bit is off (set to 0b), or that the  
Resistor Trim Disable bit is on (set to 1b) before running an on-command calibration.  
At least one calibration cycle must be run with the RTD bit in the Configuration Register cleared (at 0b) after  
power-up to adjust the Analog Input Termination Resistor.  
All input must be within operating norms during the entire calibration process.  
The on-board registers must not be accessed during the calibration process, although the SCLK may be  
active.  
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.  
Acquiring the Input  
Data is acquired at both the rising and falling edges of CLK (pin 10). When a Write Enable (WEN) is initiated, the  
converted data from the ADCs will be loaded into the Capture Buffer. Because of the asynchronous nature of  
WEN to the sample clock, the Capture Buffer write will occur after the two ADCs have completed a full  
conversion cycle. This allows the Capture Buffer to store the converted data in a predictable, ordered fashion.  
The Capture Buffer will output its digital data at two, 8 bit wide LVCMOS outputs when initiated with the Read  
Enable (REN) command. For more information on Capture Buffer operation, please refer to CAPTURE BUFFER  
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION and its subsections. Refer to the timing diagrams related to the Capture Buffer for  
timing related information.  
The ADC08B3000 will convert as long as the sample input clock signal is present. The ADC08B3000 output data  
signaling is LVCMOS and the output format is offset binary.  
Control Modes  
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 ADC08B3000 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 normal control mode or the Extended Control mode at all times.  
When the device is in the Extended Control mode, pin-based control of several features is replaced with register-  
based control and those pin-based controls are disabled. These pins are OutEdge/DDR (pin 4), FSR (pin 14) and  
CalDly (pin 127). See THE SERIAL INTERFACE for details on the Extended Control mode.

The Analog Inputs  
The ADC08B3000 must be driven with a differential input signal. Operation with a single-ended signal is not  
recommended as performance will suffer. It is important that the input signals are either a.c. coupled to the inputs  
with the VCMO pin grounded or d.c. coupled with the VCMO pin left floating or lightly loaded. An input common  
mode voltage that is equal to and tracks the VCMO output must be provided when d.c. coupling is used.  
In the Normal mode, the full-scale range is set to one of two levels, as indicated in Converter Electrical  
Characteristics, with pin 14 (FSR). In the Extended Control Mode, the full-scale range may be set to one of 512  
values, as described in REGISTER DESCRIPTION.  
In the Extended Control mode, the full-scale input range can be set to values between 560 mVP-P and 840 mVP-P  
through a serial interface. See NORMAL/EXTENDED CONTROL, THE SERIAL INTERFACE, and THE ANALOG  
INPUT.  
Clocking  
The ADC08B3000 must be driven with an a.c. coupled, differential clock signal. THE SAMPLE CLOCK INPUT  
describes the use of the clock input pins. This sample clock, CLK, has an optional duty cycle correction feature  
which is enabled by default and provides improved ADC clocking. This circuitry allows the ADC to be clocked  
with a signal source having a duty cycle of 20% to 80% (worst case).  
To assist the user in reading captured data from the Capture Buffer, the ADC08B3000 has an RCLK input. RCLK  
is a free-running clock which can be applied asynchronously with respect to the analog input sample clock and  
can operate up to 200MHz. The data output, DRDY signals and EF flag are asserted synchronous with RCLK.  
See CAPTURE BUFFER FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION and its subsections for information on reading the  
Capture Buffer.  
Dual-Edge Sampling  
To achieve 3 Gsps with a 1.5 GHz sample clock, the device uses two ADCs, one sampling the input on the  
positive edge of the sample clock and the other ADC sampling the same input on the negative edge of the  
sample clock. The input is thus sampled twice per sample clock cycle, resulting in an overall sample rate of twice  
the sample clock frequency.  
The ADC08B3000 includes an automatic clock phase background adjustment which automatically and  
continuously adjusts the phase of the rising and falling clock edges relative to each other. This feature removes  
the need to manually adjust the clock phase and provides optimal ENOB performance.  
Double Data Rate  
Choice of single data rate (SDR) or double data rate (DDR) output is offered. To select the DDR mode, address  
1h, bit 10 of the Configuration Register must be set to 0b. With single data rate the Data Ready (DRDY)  
frequency is the same as the data rate of the two output buses. With double data rate the DRDY frequency is  
half the data rate and data is sent to the outputs on both edges of DRDY. DDR clocking is enabled in non-  
Extended Control mode by allowing pin 4 to float.  
OutEdge Setting  
To help ease data capture in the SDR mode, the output data may be caused to transition on either the positive or  
the negative edge of the Data Ready (DRDY) Pins. This is chosen in the Normal mode with the OutEdge input  
(pin 4). A high on the OutEdge input pin causes the output data to transition on the rising edge of DRDY, while  
grounding this input causes the output to transition on the falling edge of DRDY. See Output Edge  
Synchronization. In the Extended Control mode, the OutEdge setting is made with bit 8 of the Configuration  
Register. See REGISTER DESCRIPTION.  
Power Down  
The ADC08B3000 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, DRDY, FF, EF, OR, REN,  
RCLK and RESET are left active to allow the user to unload the Capture Buffer while the ADC core and the  
Capture Buffer write circuitry power down to reduce the device power consumption to a minimal level.  
See Calibration for information on the interaction of the power down and calibration functions.

NORMAL/EXTENDED CONTROL  
The ADC08B3000 may be operated in one of two modes. In the Normal Control Mode, the user accomplishes  
available configuration and control of the device through several control pins. The "extended control mode"  
provides additional configuration and control options through the serial interface and a set of 6 internal registers.  
The control mode is selected with pin 14 (FSR/ECE). The choice of control modes is required to be a fixed  
selection and is not intended to be switched dynamically while the device is operational.  
Table 1 shows how several of the device features are affected by the control mode chosen.0

THE SERIAL INTERFACE  
NOTE  
IMPORTANT: During the initial write using the serial interface, all six registers must be  
written with desired or default values. Subsequent writes to single registers are allowed.  
The 3-pin serial interface is enabled only when the device is in the Extended Control mode. The pins of this  
interface are Serial Clock (SCLK), Serial Data (SDATA) and Serial Interface Chip Select (SCS). Eight write only  
registers are accessible through this serial interface. Registers are write only and can not be read back.  
SCS: This signal must be asserted low to access a register through the serial interface. Setup and hold times  
with respect to the SCLK must be observed.  
SCLK: Serial data input is accepted at the rising edge of this signal. There is no minimum frequency requirement  
of this signal.  
SDATA: Each register access requires a specific 32-bit pattern at this input. This pattern consists of a header,  
register address and register value. The data is shifted in MSB first. Setup and hold times with respect to the  
SCLK must be observed. See the Timing Diagram of Figure 4.  
Each Register access consists of 32 bits, as shown in Figure 4 of the Timing Diagrams. The fixed header pattern  
is 0000 0000 0001 (eleven zeros followed by a 1). The loading sequence is such that a "0" is loaded first. 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 registers are indicated in Table 3. Refer to REGISTER  
DESCRIPTION for information on the data to be written to the registers. Subsequent register accesses may be  
performed immediately, 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.  
NOTE  
IMPORTANT: The Serial Interface should not be accessed while the ADC is undergoing a  
calibration cycle. 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.

REGISTER DESCRIPTION  
Six write-only registers provide several control and configuration options in the Extended Control Mode. These  
registers have no effect when the device is in the Normal Control Mode. Each register description below also  
shows the Power-On Reset (POR) state of each control bit.  
The contents of the all registers are retained when the device is in the Power Down mode.

Must be set to 1b  
DRE: Differential Reset Enable. When this bit is set to 0b, it enables the single-ended ADCCLK_RST input.  
When this bit is set to 1b, it enables the differential ADCCLK_RST input.  
POR State: 0b  
Bit 13  
RTD: Resistor Trim Disable. The state of this bit determines whether the input signal termination resistor is  
trimmed or not during the calibration cycle. If the Clock Phase Adjust feature is enabled (ENA bit is set to 1b in  
register Eh), then this bit must be set to 1b also.  
NOTE: The input termination resistor MUST be trimmed at least once, which will only happen if this bit is 0b.  
The Power-Up self-calibration cycle will trim the termination resistor as the power-up default value of this bit  
is 0b.  
POR State: 0b  
Bit 12  
Bit 11  
DCS: Duty Cycle Stabilizer. When this bit is set to 1b, a duty cycle stabilization circuit is applied to the clock  
input. When this bit is set to 0b the stabilization circuit is disabled.  
POR State: 1b  
DCP: DDR Clock Phase. This bit only has an effect in the DDR mode. When this bit is set to 0b, the DRDY  
edges are time-aligned with the data bus edges (“0° Phase”). When this bit is set to 1b, the DRDY edges are  
placed in the middle of the data bit cells (“90° Phase”).  
POR State: 1b  
Bit 10  
nDE: DDR Enable. When this bit is set to 0b, data bus clocking follows the DDR (Dual Data Rate) mode  
whereby a data word is output with each rising and falling edge of DRDY. 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 DRDY, as determined by the OutEdge bit.  
POR State: 1b  
Bit 9  
Bit 8  
Must be set to 1b  
OE: Output Edge. This bit selects the edge of the DRDY pins with which the data words transition in the SDR  
mode and has the same effect as the OutEdge pin in the normal control mode. When this bit is set to 1b, the  
data outputs change with the rising edge of the DRDY pins. When this bit is set to 0b, the data outputs change  
with the falling edge of the DRDY pins.  
POR State: 0b  
Bits 7:0  
Must be set to 1b.

Clock Phase Adjustment  
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 (SNR, ENOB, SFDR) some finite amount. The amount of degradation increases with the  
amount of adjustment applied. The user is strongly advised to use the minimal amount of adjustment and to  
verify the net benefit of this feature in his system before relying upon it.  
Extended Mode Offset Correction  
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 43.  
Figure 43. Extended Mode Offset Behavior  
MULTIPLE ADC SYNCHRONIZATION  
The ADC08B3000 has the capability to precisely reset its sample clock input to support the synchronization of  
multiple ADCs in a system. The ADCCLK_RST allows multiple ADCs in a system to be synchronized so that  
there is a known relationship between the sampling times of all ADCs.  
The ADC08B3000 has been designed to accommodate systems which require a single-ended (LVCMOS)  
ADCCLK_RST and those using a differential (LVDS) ADCCLK_RST. In either case, the ADCCLK_RST signal  
must observe the timing requirements shown in Figure 5 of the Timing Diagrams. The ADCCLK_RST pulse must  
be of a minimum 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 tHR, tSR, and tPWR. The duration of the ADCCLK_RST  
pulse affects the length of time before valid data can be captured, so minimizing this pulse width is  
recommended.  
Single-Ended (LVCMOS) ADCCLK_RST: The Power on Reset state of ADCCLK_RST is to have single-ended  
ADCCLK_RST activated. That is, bit 14, (DRE) in the Configuration Register is low, 0b. When not using singled-  
ended ADCCLK_RST, this input pin should be grounded. When using the single-ended ADCCLK_RST, consider  
the ADCCLK_RST+ signal of Figure 5 and ignore ADCCLK_RST-.

SNAS331M JUNE 2006REVISED APRIL 2013  
Differential (LVDS) ADCCLK_RST: Activated by setting bit 14 (DRE) of the configuration register high, 1b.  
When the differential ADCCLK_RST is not activated (that is, when bit 14 of the Configuration Register is 0b),  
these inputs should be grounded. Differential ADCCLK_RST has an internal 100 ohm termination resistor and  
should be DC coupled, not be AC coupled.  
The ADCCLK_RST signal can be asserted asynchronous to the input clock. When the ADCCLK_RST signal is  
de-asserted in synchronization with the CLK rising edge, the next CLK falling edge synchronizes the  
ADC08B3000 with the other ADC08B3000s in the system. The user has the option of using a single-ended  
ADCCLK_RST signal, but a differential ADCCLK_RST is strongly recommended due to its superior timing  
performance.  
ADC TEST PATTERN OUTPUT  
To aid in system debug, the ADC08B3000 has the capability of providing a test pattern at the 2 outputs  
completely independent of the input signal. By default, the test pattern will only appear at the D1 port. To have  
the test pattern appear at both D1 and D2 ports, bit 12 (TPE) must be programmed to 1b in the Capture Buffer  
Register (address Fh). Refer to REGISTER DESCRIPTION. To engage the test pattern, bit 11 (TPO) must be  
programmed to 1b in the Capture Buffer Register (address Fh). When the test pattern is enabled, the ADC is  
disengaged and a test pattern generator is connected to the output ports, including OR. The OR output is  
asserted high at the start of the test pattern output and will remain high until the data is read out of the Capture  
Buffer and the Empty Flag (EF) is asserted high. Each port can output a unique pattern sequence as described  
in Table 10 and Table 11. The test pattern appears on the output port with the transition of DRDY.

CAPTURE BUFFER FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
With the integration of the Capture Buffer, the ADC08B3000 allows sampling and processing tasks to be  
separated. The intent is that the input signal can be sampled at a high rate and collected samples can be off-  
loaded for digital processing at a slower rate. There are 5 main signals which are used to coordinate the  
handshaking between the Capture Buffer data capture operation and the Capture Buffer read operation. These  
five signals are Write Enable (WEN), Read Enable (REN), Empty Flag (EF), Full Flag (FF) and RESET.  
It is important to note that the Capture Buffer implemented in this product is not a general purpose FIFO. The  
Capture Buffer size is programmable in the Extended Control Mode using bit 15 (BSIZE<1>) and bit 14  
(BSIZE<0>) in the Capture Buffer Register. See Table 12. In order for a Capture Buffer read to commence, the  
entire buffer has to be filled. It is not possible to write to and read from the Capture Buffer simultaneously.

Error Flags  
The ADC08B3000 provides two output control signals, the Full Flag (FF) and the Empty Flag (EF), to monitor the  
status of the Capture Buffer. Following the assertion of REN and the subsequent reading of the Capture Buffer,  
the Empty Flag (EF) will be asserted by the device to indicate that the last data was read and the Capture Buffer  
is now empty. Once the (EF) Empty Flag is asserted by the device, the user cannot re-read the Capture Buffer.  
Only when Empty Flag (EF) is asserted high can a Capture Buffer data capture or WEN operation begin. The  
assertion of WEN clears the Empty Flag (EF).  
The data can only be read from the Capture Buffer when the buffer is full. That is, when FF (Full Flag) is high.  
Once the FF is high, the data is ready to be read from the Capture Buffer on the rising edges of RCLK. The  
assertion of REN clears the Full Flag (FF).  
The assertion of a RESET signal clears the Full Flag (FF), sets the Empty Flag (EF) and clears both the data  
capture to buffer and the buffer read operations.  
Writing to the Capture Buffer  
An internally generated write clock is used to write the converted data into the Capture Buffer. The write clock is  
the same speed as the ADC Sample Clock. Unless the chip is in a power-down state, the ADC is always  
converting the input signal. The data is stored in the Capture Buffer only when the Write Enable (WEN) signal is  
asserted.  
After the Capture Buffer is full and the Full Flag (FF) is asserted, new data will start writing over the oldest data  
because the Write Pointer will wrap-around. The user has the option to stop the writing of the Capture Buffer  
automatically upon a full condition with the use of the ASW (Auto-Stop Write) input. This is done in the Extended  
Control Mode by setting bit 13 in the Capture Buffer register to 1b. Refer to REGISTER DESCRIPTION.  
When the data is completely read from the Capture Buffer, the Empty Flag (EF) will be asserted by the device.  
Only at this point can another data capture sequence begin (by the assertion of WEN). The assertion and  
internal synchronization of WEN clears the Empty Flag (EF).  
Reading from the Capture Buffer  
Once the Full Flag (FF) is asserted high, the data is ready to be read from the Capture Buffer on the rising edges  
of RCLK, which is an externally applied free-running clock that can be asynchronous with respect to the ADC  
sample clock. To read the data out of the Capture Buffer, the Read Enable (REN) signal must be asserted. The  
Full Flag (FF) is cleared with the assertion and internal synchronizing of REN. An Empty Flag (EF) will be  
asserted by the device to indicate that the last data was read and the Capture Buffer is now empty.  
When the Two Port Output Enable is set to 0b in the Capture Buffer Register (addr: Fh, bit: 12 (TPE)), only port  
D1 will be enabled for data extraction from the Capture Buffer. When the Two Port Output Enable is set to 1b in  
the Capture Buffer Register, ports D1 and D2 will be enabled for data extraction. For interleaving purposes, the  
format of data is in 8-bit words with D2 outputting the first 8-bits from the Capture Buffer followed by D1 and back  
to D2. Data output order is the same as the Test Pattern Output mode data output order. See Table 11 for data  
order in Test Pattern Output mode.  
Coordinating Read Enable (REN) and Write Enable (WEN)  
It is not possible to write to and read from the Capture Buffer simultaneously. This means that the Write Enable  
(WEN) and the Read Enable (REN) signals should not be asserted simultaneously. If the Read Enable (REN)  
and Write Enable (WEN) signals are asserted at the same time, the Write Enable (WEN) signal supersedes and  
the Read Enable (REN) signal is ignored. This is true even if the Read Enable (REN) signal is asserted first and  
the buffer read operation is progressing normally. If the Write Enable (WEN) signal is asserted while Read  
Enable (REN) is asserted, the Capture Buffer will freeze its operation until a RESET is applied. Recall that  
RESET allows the Capture Buffer pointers to be reset so a new data capture operation can begin.  
Capture Buffer Reset  
The RESET signal clears FF and sets EF and halts both the data capture and data read operations. The RESET  
signal can be useful during a partial read scenario where the data read operation stops early and the EF is not  
asserted by the device. In this case the RESET signal allows the Capture Buffer pointers to be reset so a new  
data capture operation can begin. The RESET signal has no effect upon the operation of the ADC, which has its  
own internal Power-On Reset circuit.

Data Ready and Write Enable Sync  
The ADC08B3000 has three other signals available to coordinate the Capture Buffer data capture and Capture  
Buffer read operations. These signals are Data Ready Port 1 (DRDY1), Date Ready Port 2 (DRDY2), and Write  
Enable Sync (WENSYNC). Data Ready Port 1 (DRDY1) and Data Ready Port 2 (DRDY2) can be used as latch  
clocks for external systems as there are applications where using RCLK alone to capture the data on the data  
output ports D1 and D2 is not practical. The Data Ready (DRDY) pins offer improved data capture capability by  
eliminating the impact of the RCLK path delay and the internal RCLK-to-DataOut delay. Data Ready (DRDY) is  
presented on the output ports at the same time as the data output. RCLK is used by the device to clock the data  
out of the Capture Buffer and the DRDY signals are used to clock that data into the receiving circuit. The output  
data and DRDY signals appear at the output ports three rising edges of RCLK after the assertion of REN.  
Write Enable Sync (WENSYNC) is a synchronized version of Write Enable (WEN) and is synchronized with the  
ADC sample clock. Write Enable Sync (WENSYNC) is provided as an output because Write Enable (WEN) can  
be asserted completely asynchronous with the ADC sample clock, therefore it would be difficult for the user to  
know exactly when the data capture operation actually began. Write Enable Sync (WENSYNC) allows the user to  
determine this.  
Out of Range  
Out of Range (OR) is a signal used to determine if the input signal has over gone out of range at any time during  
a data capture operation. It is asserted if an Out of Range condition occurred during the data capture operation  
and is cleared only after the Capture Buffer read operation is complete and the Empty Flag (EF) is asserted. The  
OR output is invalid during a calibration cycle.  
Applications Information  
THE REFERENCE VOLTAGE  
The voltage reference for the ADC08B3000 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. This reference voltage should be buffered if more current is required.  
The internal bandgap-derived reference voltage has a choice of two nominal values in the Normal mode as  
determined by the FSR pin and described in The Analog Inputs.  
There is no provision for the use of an external reference voltage, but the full-scale input voltage can be set to  
one of two values in the Normal mode, as shown in the Electrical Tables, or it can be set through the Full-Scale  
Voltage Adjust Register in the Extended Control mode to one of 512 values, as explained in  
NORMAL/EXTENDED CONTROL. Never drive this pin.  
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.  
THE ANALOG INPUT  
The analog input is a differential one to which the signal source may be a.c. coupled or d.c. coupled. The full-  
scale input range is selected with the FSR pin, or can be adjusted to one of 512 values in the Extended Control  
mode through the Serial Interface. For best performance it is recommended that the full-scale range be kept  
between 595 mVP-P and 805 mVP-P in the Extended Control mode because the internal DAC which sets the full-  
scale range is not as linear at the ends of its range.  
Table 13 gives the input to output relationship with the FSR pin high when the Normal (non-extended) mode is  
used. With the FSR pin grounded, the millivolt values in Table 13 are reduced to about 75% (600/810) of the  
values indicated. In the Enhanced Control Mode, these values will be determined by the full scale range and  
offset settings in the Control Registers.

The internally 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 adequate noise and distortion performance and adequate gain at the frequencies used  
for the application.  
The Input impedance of the analog input in the d.c. coupled mode (VCMO pin not grounded) consists of a  
precision 100resistor across the inputs and a capacitance from each of these inputs to ground. In the a.c.  
coupled mode, the input appears the same except there is also a resistor of 50Kbetween each analog input  
pin and the on-chip VCMO potential.  
When the inputs are a.c. coupled, the VCMO output must be grounded, as shown in Figure 44. This causes the  
on-chip VCMO voltage to be connected to the inputs through on-chip 50Kresistors.

When the d.c. coupled mode is used, a precise common mode voltage must be provided at the differential  
inputs. This common mode voltage should track the VCMO output pin. Note that the VCMO output potential will  
change with temperature. The common mode output of the driving device should track this change.  
Full-scale distortion performance falls off rapidly as the input common mode voltage deviates from VCMO. This is  
a direct result of using a very low supply voltage to minimize power. Keep the input common voltage within  
50 mV of VCMO  
.
Performance is as good in the d.c. coupled mode as it is in the a.c. coupled mode, provided the input common  
mode voltage at both analog inputs remain within 50 mV of VCMO  
.
Handling Single-Ended Input Signals  
There is no provision for the ADC08B3000 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.

A.C. Coupled Input  
The easiest way to accomplish single-ended to differential conversion for a.c. signals is with an appropriate  
balun, as shown in Figure 45. This figure is a generic depiction of a single-ended to differential signal conversion  
using a balun. The balun-specific circuitry will depend upon the type of balun selected and the overall board  
layout. It is recommended that the manufacturer of the selected balun be contacted for aid in designing the best  
performing single-ended to differential conversion circuit using that particular balun.

Figure 45. Single-Ended to Differential Signal Conversion with a Balun  
When selecting a balun, it is important to understand the input architecture of the ADC. There are specific balun  
parameters about which the system designer should be mindful. Match the impedance of the analog source to  
transmission path and that path to the ADC08B3000’s on-chip 100differential input termination resistor. The  
range of this input termination resistor is described in Converter Electrical Characteristics as the specification RIN.  
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 limited to less than 1dB at the desired input frequency range.  
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 interfacing to the ADC input. The insertion loss should be considered so that the  
signal at the balun output is within the desired input range at the ADC input.

D.C. Coupled Input  
When d.c. coupling to the ADC08B3000 analog input is required, single-ended to differential conversion may be  
easily accomplished with the LMH6555 fully differential amplifier. An example of this type of circuit is shown in  
Figure 46. In such applications, the LMH6555 performs the task of single-ended to differential conversion while  
delivering low distortion and noise, as well as output balance, that supports the operation of the ADC08B3000.  
Connecting the ADC08B3000 VCMO pin to the VCM_REF pin of the LMH6555 will ensure that the common mode  
input voltage is as needed for optimum performance of the ADC08B3000. The LMV321 was chosen to buffer  
VCMO for its low voltage operation and reasonable offset voltage.

In Figure 46, RADJ-and RADJ+ are used to adjust the differential offset that can be measured between the ADC  
inputs VIN+ and VIN-. An unadjusted positive offset greater than 15mV should be reduced with a resistor in the  
RADJ-position. Likewise, an unadjusted negative offset more negative than 15mV should be reduced with a  
resistor in the RADJ+ position. Table 14 gives suggested RADJ-and RADJ+ values for various unadjusted differential  
offsets to bring the offset between VIN+ and VIN-back to within |15mV|. The circuit of Figure 46 assumes a 50Ω  
d.c. coupled driving source.

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. The OR output is invalid During a calibration cycle.  
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 voltage of the ADC08B3000 is derived from an internal band-gap reference. In the Normal Mode, the  
FSR pin controls the effective reference voltage of the ADC08B3000 such that the differential full-scale input  
range at the analog inputs is one value with the FSR pin high and another value with the FSR pin low. These full  
scale values are in Converter Electrical Characteristics. In the Extended Control Mode, the Full Scale Range can  
be set to any of 512 values, as indicated in the Full-Scale Adjust Register description of REGISTER  
DESCRIPTION. Best SNR is obtained with higher Full Scale Ranges, but better distortion and SFDR are  
obtained with lower Full Scale Ranges. The LMH6555 of Figure 46 is suitable for any Full Scale Range capability  
of the ADC08B3000.  
THE SAMPLE CLOCK INPUT  
The ADC08B3000 has a differential LVDS clock input which must be driven with an a.c. coupled, differential  
clock signal. Although the ADC08B3000 is tested and its performance is ensured with a differential 1.5 GHz  
clock, it typically will function well with input clock frequencies indicated in Converter Electrical Characteristics.  
The clock inputs are internally terminated and biased. The input clock signal must be capacitively coupled to the  
clock pins as indicated in Figure 47.  
Operation up to the sample rates indicated in 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 product lifetime. This is because of the  
higher power consumption and die temperatures at high sample rates. Also important for reliability is proper  
thermal management, as discussed in Thermal Management.

SNAS331M JUNE 2006REVISED APRIL 2013  
The differential sample clock line should have a differential characteristic impedance of 100and be terminated  
at the clock source in that (100) characteristic impedance. The input clock line should be as short and as direct  
as possible. The ADC08B3000 clock input is internally terminated with an untrimmed 100resistance.  
The clock level is important if the specified dynamic performance is to be met. Insufficient input clock levels will  
result in poor noise performance. Excessively high input clock levels could result in poor SFDR performance our  
cause a change in the analog input offset voltage. To avoid these problems, keep the input clock level within the  
range specified in Converter Electrical Characteristics.  
The low and high times of the input clock signal can affect the performance of any A/D Converter. The  
ADC08B3000 features a clock duty cycle correction circuit which can maintain performance over a wide range of  
input clock duty cycles and over temperature. The ADC will meet its performance specification if the input clock  
high and low times are maintained as specified in Converter Electrical Characteristics.  
High speed, high performance ADCs such as the ADC08B3000 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  
tJ(MAX) = (VINFSR/VIN(P-P)) x (1/(2(N+1) x π x fIN))  
(6)  
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.  
Note that the maximum jitter described above is the Root Sum Square, (RSS), of the jitter from all sources,  
including the internal ADC clock jitter, that added by the system to the ADC input clock and input signals and that  
added by the ADC itself. Since the effective 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.  
Synchronizing Multiple ADCs (Manual Sample Clock Phase Adjust)  
To facilitate the synchronization of multiple ADC08B3000 chips to achieve net sample rates higher than that  
possible with a single device, the ADC08B3000 has a manual clock phase capability. This adjustment is only  
possible in the Extended Control Mode and is intended to allow the user to accommodate subtle layout  
differences when between multiple ADCs. Register addresses Dh and Eh provide extended mode access to fine  
and coarse adjustments. Use of Low Frequency Sample Clock control, (register Eh; bit 10) is not supported while  
using manual sample clock phase adjustments.  
It should be noted that by just enabling the phase adjust capability (register Eh; bit 15), degradation of dynamic  
performance is expected, specifically SFDR. It is intended that very small adjustments are used. That is just a  
few counts of the fine adjustment and no adjustment of the coarse adjustment. Larger increases in phase  
adjustments will begin to affect SNR and ultimately ENOB. Therefore, the use of coarse phase adjustment  
should be minimized in favor of better system design.  
It is best, then, to ensure that the proper phase relationships exist between the analog input and clock signals  
presented to each of the ADC08B3000s that are synchronized. That is, use as much care in PCB design and  
layout that would be used if there were no clock phase adjustment circuitry.  
Figure 48 and Figure 49 indicate the typical phase adjustment for the fine and coarse phase adjustments,  
respectively.

CONTROL PINS  
Without the use of the serial interface, six control pins provide a range of possibilities in the operation of the  
ADC08B3000 to facilitate its use. These control pins provide Full-Scale Input Range setting, Self Calibration,  
Calibration Delay, Output Edge Synchronization choice, and Power Down.  
Full-Scale Input Range Setting  
The input full-scale range can be selected to be either of two settings with the FSR control input (pin 14) in the  
Normal Mode of operation. In the Extended Control Mode, the input full-scale range may be set to any of 512  
settings. See REGISTER DESCRIPTION for more information.  
Calibration  
The ADC08B3000 calibration must be run to achieve specified performance. The calibration procedure is run  
upon power-up and can be run any time on command. 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  
calibration procedure is also exactly the same whether it is a power-on calibration or an on-command calibration.  
The CalRun output is high while a calibration is in progress.  
Power-On Calibration  
Power-on calibration begins after a time delay following the application of power. This time delay is determined  
by the setting of CalDly. See Calibration Delay.  
The calibration process will be not be performed if the CAL pin is high at power up. In this case, the calibration  
cycle will not begin until the on-command calibration conditions are met. The ADC08B3000 will function with the  
CAL pin held high at power up, but no calibration will be done and performance will be impaired. A manual  
calibration, however, may be performed after powering up with the CAL pin high. See On-Command Calibration.

The internal power-on calibration circuitry comes up in an unknown logic state. If the input clock is not running at  
power up and the power on calibration circuitry is active, it will hold the analog circuitry in power down and the  
power consumption will typically be less than 25 mW. The power consumption will be normal after the clock  
starts.  
On-Command Calibration  
To initiate an on-command calibration, bring the CAL pin high for a minimum of 80 input clock cycles after it has  
been low for a minimum of 80 input clock cycles. Holding the CAL pin high upon power up will prevent execution  
of power-on calibration until the CAL pin is low for a minimum of 80 input clock cycles, then brought high for a  
minimum of another 80 input clock cycles. The calibration cycle will begin 80 input clock cycles after the CAL pin  
is thus brought high. The CalRun signal should be monitored to determine when the calibration cycle has  
completed.  
The minimum tCAL_Land tCAL_H input clock cycle sequence is required to ensure that random noise does not  
cause a calibration to begin when it is not desired. As mentioned in Calibration, for best performance a  
calibration should be performed 20 seconds or more after power up because and repeated when the operating  
temperature changes significantly relative to the specific system design performance requirements. The  
suggestion for performing an on-command calibration 20 seconds or more after application of power is because  
dynamic performance changes with a large change in die temperature and that temperature is nearly stable  
about 20 seconds after application of power. Dynamic performance changes slightly with increasing junction  
temperature and can be easily corrected by performing an on-command calibration.  
Both the ADC and the input termination resistor are calibrated during a power-on calibration cycle. By default, on-  
command calibration includes calibration of the input termination resistor and the ADC. However, since the input  
termination resistor changes only slightly with temperature, the user has the option to disable the input  
termination resistor trim, once trimmed at power up. The Resistor Trim Disable can be programmed in the  
Configuration Register when in the Extended Control mode.  
Calibration Delay  
The CalDly input (pin 127) is used to select one of two delay times after the application of power to the start of  
calibration, as described in Calibration. The calibration delay values allow the power supply to come up and  
stabilize before calibration takes place. With no delay or insufficient delay, calibration might begin before the  
power supply is stabilized at its operating value and result in non-optimal calibration coefficients. If the PD pin is  
high upon power-up, the calibration delay counter will be disabled until the PD pin is brought low. Therefore,  
holding the PD pin high during power up will further delay the start of the power-up calibration cycle. The best  
setting of the CalDly pin depends upon the power-on settling time of the power supply.  
Note that the calibration delay selection is not possible in the Extended Control mode and the short delay time is  
used.  
Input Termination Resistor Trim  
The calibration algorithm also trims the input signal termination resistor. This is essential for proper operation of  
the device. Once trimmed upon power-up, however, it is not essential for proper operation of the device. Once  
trimmed, however, it is not necessary to trim the resistor at each subsequent calibration. The RTD bit in the  
Configuration Register allows the user to disable input resistor trim. It is required that this RTD bit be set to 1b if  
the Clock Phase Adjust feature is used.  
Output Edge Synchronization  
OutEdge is an input available to help latch the converter output data into external circuitry. This pin may make  
data capture easier, especially when output clock and data trace lengths are not matched. This pin allows the  
user to shift the phase of the Data Ready pins (DRDY1 and DRDY2) with respect to the data outputs. See  
Double Data Rate.  
Power Down Feature  
The Power Down pin (PD) allows the ADC08B3000 to be powered down while the capture buffer is still active so  
that it may be read. See Power Down for details on the power down feature.

The Capture Buffer, its control pins and digital data outputs remain active in the power down mode, allowing the  
user to read the Capture Buffer when the PD is high. Upon return to normal operation, the pipeline will contain  
meaningless information and must be flushed.  
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 when the PD input is high, the device will not  
begin the calibration sequence until the PD input goes low. If a manual calibration is requested while the device  
is powered down, the calibration will not begin at all. That is, the manual calibration input is completely ignored in  
the power down state.  
THE DIGITAL OUTPUTS  
The output format is Offset Binary and the logic is LVCMOS. Accordingly, a full-scale input level with VIN+  
positive with respect to VINwill produce an output code of all ones, a full-scale input level with VINpositive with  
respect to VIN+ will produce an output code of all zeros and when VIN+ and VINare equal, the output code will  
be 127 or 128.  
Since the minimum recommended input clock rate for this ADC is 500 MHz and the ADC08B3000 sample rate is  
twice the clock rate, the minimum sample rate is generally 1 Gsps. However, the output can easily be decimated  
by two, which effectively reduces the minimum effective sample rate to 500 Msps. This is done by setting the  
TPE bit in the Capture Buffer register (address Fh, bit D12) to 1b, setting the clock rate to 500 MHz and using  
the output data from only one of the two ports.  
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 code 127 and 128.  
POWER CONSIDERATIONS  
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 and a 0.1 µF capacitor  
should be placed as close as possible to each VA pin, preferably within one-half 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 Bourns FB20009-3B, is recommended between  
these supply lines when a common source is used for them.  
As is the case with all high speed converters, the ADC08B3000 should be assumed to have little power supply  
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 ADC08B3000. The ADC supplies should be the same  
supply used for other analog circuitry, if not a dedicated supply.  
Supply Voltage  
The ADC08B3000 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.  
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 application of power and power shut-down.  
Be sure that the supplies to circuits driving any of the input pins, analog or digital, do not come up any faster than  
does the voltage at the ADC08B3000 power pins.  
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 ADC08B3000. The  
circuit of Figure 50 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 ADC08B3000, unless a minimum load is provided for the supply. The 100resistor  
at the regulator output of Figure 50 provides a minimum output current during power-up to ensure there is no  
turn-on spiking. Whether a linear or switching regulator is used, it is advisable to provide a slow start circuit to  
prevent overshoot of the supply.

In the circuit of Figure 50, an LM317 linear regulator is satisfactory if its input supply voltage is 4V to 5V. If a 3.3V  
supply is used, an LM1086 linear regulator is recommended.

Figure 50. Non-Spiking Power Supply  
The output drivers should have a supply voltage, VDR, that is within the range specified in Operating Ratings.  
This voltage should not exceed the VA supply voltage and should never spike to a voltage greater than (VA +  
100mV).  
If the power is applied to the device without an input clock signal present, the current drawn by the device might  
be below 200 mA. This is because the ADC08B3000 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 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.  
Thermal Management  
The ADC08B3000 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 temperature should be kept to a maximum of 130°C. That is, TA (ambient temperature) plus  
ADC power consumption times θJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance) should not exceed 130°C. This is not  
a problem if the ambient temperature is kept to a maximum of +85°C as specified in Operating Ratings and the  
exposed pad on the bottom of the package is thermally connected to a large enough copper area of the PC  
board.  
Please note that the following are general recommendations for mounting exposed pad devices 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.  
The package of the ADC08B3000 has an exposed pad on its back that 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 HLQFP, but the exposed pad must be attached to the  
board to remove the maximum amount of heat from the package, as well as to ensure best product parametric  
performance.  
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 exposed pad 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 at least as large  
as the 5 x 5 mm of the exposed pad of the package and be located such that the exposed pad of the device is  
entirely over that thermal land pattern. This thermal land pattern should be electrically connected to ground. A  
clearance of at least 0.5 mm should separate this land pattern from the mounting pads for the package pins.

Figure 51. Recommended Package Exposed Pad Land Pattern  
Since a large aperture opening may result in poor release, the aperture opening should be subdivided into an  
array of smaller openings, similar to the land pattern of Figure 51.  
To minimize junction temperature, it is recommended that a simple heat sink be built into the PCB. This is done  
by including a copper area of about 2 square inches (6.5 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 thermal insulation. Thermal vias should be used to connect these 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 9 to 16 thermal vias is  
recommended.  
The thermal vias should be placed on a 1.2 mm grid spacing and have a diameter of 0.30 to 0.33 mm. 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 resistance between the device and the thermal land on the board, which would cause  
the device to run hotter.  
If it is desired to monitor die temperature, a temperature sensor 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 ADC08B3000  
die of θJ-PAD times typical power consumption = 2.8 x 1.9 = 5.3°C. Allowing for 6.3°C, including some margin for  
temperature drop from the pad to the temperature sensor, then, would mean that maintaining a maximum pad  
temperature reading of 123.7°C will ensure that the die temperature does not exceed 130°C, assuming that the  
exposed pad of the ADC08B3000 is properly soldered down and the thermal vias are adequate. (The inaccuracy  
of the temperature sensor is additional to the above calculation).  
LAYOUT AND GROUNDING  
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essential to ensure optimum performance. A single ground  
plane should be used instead of splitting the ground plane into analog 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 typically 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 circuitry well separated from the digital circuitry.  
High power digital components should not be located on or near any linear component or power 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, resulting in excessive noise in the conversion result.

SNAS331M JUNE 2006REVISED APRIL 2013  
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 avoided as even a little coupling can cause problems at high frequencies. Best performance  
at high frequencies is obtained with a short, straight signal path.  
The analog input should be isolated from other signal traces to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input.  
This is especially important with the low level drive required of the ADC08B3000. Any external component (e.g.,  
a filter capacitor) connected between the converter's input and ground should be connected to a very clean point  
in the ground plane. All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, etc.) should be separated from any digital  
components.  
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE  
The ADC08B3000 is a.c. tested and its dynamic performance is ensured. 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 THE SAMPLE CLOCK INPUT.  
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 introduce noise into the analog path if not isolated from that path.  
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 of lower impedance than offered by the package  
pins.  
USING THE SERIAL INTERFACE  
The ADC08B3000 may be operated in the non-extended control (non-Serial Interface) mode or in the extended  
control mode. Table 15 and Table 16, below, describe the functions of pins 3, 4, 14 and 127 in the non-extended  
control mode and the extended control mode, respectively.  
Non-Extended Control Mode Operation  
Non-extended control mode operation means that the Serial Interface is not active and all controllable functions  
are controlled with various pin settings. That is, the output voltage swing, full-scale range and output edge  
selections are all controlled with pin settings. The non-extended control mode is used by setting pin 14 high or  
low, as opposed to letting it float. Table 15 indicates the pin functions of the ADC08B3000 in the non-extended  
control mode.

Pin 4 can be high or low or can be left floating 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 NORMAL/EXTENDED  
CONTROL for more information. If this pin is floating, the output clock (DRDY) is a DDR (Double Data Rate)  
clock (see Double Data Rate) and the output edge synchronization is irrelevant since data is clocked out on both  
DRDY edges.  
If pin 127 is high or low in the non-extended control mode, if sets the calibration delay time. If pin 14 is floating,  
the calibration delay is the short one and pin 127 acts as the enable pin for the serial interface input.

COMMON APPLICATION PITFALLS  
Failure to write all register locations when using extended control mode. When using the serial interface, all  
six address locations must be written at least once with the default or desired values before calibration and  
subsequent use of the ADC.  
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.  
Care should be taken not to overdrive the inputs of the ADC08B3000. Such practice may lead to conversion  
inaccuracies and even to device damage.  
Incorrect analog input common mode voltage in the d.c. coupled mode. As discussed in The Analog Inputs  
and THE ANALOG INPUT, the Input common mode voltage must remain within 50 mV of the VCMO output, which  
has a variability with temperature that must also be tracked. Distortion performance will be degraded if the input  
common mode voltage is more than 50 mV from VCMO  
.
Using an inadequate amplifier to drive the analog input. Use care when choosing a high frequency amplifier  
to drive the ADC08B3000 as many high speed amplifiers will have higher distortion than will the ADC08B3000,  
resulting in overall system performance degradation.  
Driving the VBG pin to change the reference voltage. As mentioned in THE REFERENCE VOLTAGE, the  
reference voltage is intended to be fixed to provide one of two different full-scale values in the Normal Mode, or a  
range of full-scale values in the Extended Control Mode. The reference can not be changed by driving the  
VBG pin, which should not driven.  
Driving the clock input with an excessively high level signal. As described in THE SAMPLE CLOCK INPUT,  
the ADC input clock level should not exceed the level described in Operating Ratings or the input offset could  
change and a degradation of SFDR and SNR could result.  
Inadequate input clock levels. As described in THE SAMPLE CLOCK INPUT, insufficient input clock levels can  
result in poor performance.  
Using a clock source with excessive jitter, using an excessively long input clock signal trace, or having  
other signals coupled to the input clock signal trace. Any of these will cause the sampling interval to vary,  
causing excessive output noise and a reduction in SNR performance.  
Driving an LVCMOS input with LVPECL. The common mode voltage of LVPECL is too high, so the  
ADC08B3000 may not properly interpret the input, so recognition of the intended function may be marginal,  
intermittent, or non-existent.  
Accessing the internal registers while a calibration is in process. As indicated in Calibration and THE  
SERIAL INTERFACE, the internal registers (via the serial port) should not be accessed during calibration. Doing  
so will impair the performance of the device until it is re-calibrated correctly.  
Failure to strictly observe ADCCLK_RST set-up and hold times. The deassertion edge of the ADCCLK_RST  
pulse must observe the specified setup and hold times (tSR, tSH). See MULTIPLE ADC SYNCHRONIZATION.  
Allowing for timing uncertainty in this timing is also important.  
Failure to provide adequate heat removal. As described in Thermal Management, it is important to provide  
adequate 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 grounded for best performance.
