FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The ADC08D1520 is an 8–Bit, dual channel, low  
power, high performance CMOS analog-to-digital  
converter that builds upon the ADC08D1000 platform.  
The ADC08D1520 digitizes signals to 8 bits of  
resolution at sample rates up to 1.7 GSPS. It has  
expanded features compared 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  
Demultiplex Mode at 1.5 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 self-  
calibration scheme enable a very flat response 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 binary and the Low Voltage  
Differential Signaling (LVDS) digital outputs are  
compatible with IEEE 1596.3-1996, with the  
exception 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 selected, the output data rate  
is reduced to half the input sample rate on each bus.  
When Non-Demultiplexed Mode is selected, the  
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.  
Power Consumption  
Operating in 1:2 Demux Output 2.0 W (typ)  
Power Down Mode 2.9 mW (typ)  
APPLICATIONS  
Direct RF Down Conversion  
Digital Oscilloscopes  
Communications Systems  
Test Instrumentation  
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.

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 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.

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

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.

(1) 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. Radiation end point limits for the noted parameters are ensured only for the conditions as specified in MIL-STD-  
883, Method 1019  
(2) The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes beyond the Absolute Maximum Ratings may damage this

(3) 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.  
(4) Typical figures are at TA = 25°C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are specified to MIL-PRF-38535.

(5) 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.  
(6) This parameter is ensured by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.  
(7) 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.

each pin to ground are isolated from the die capacitances by lead and bond wire inductances.  
(9) Refer to the Post Radiation Parameter Table  
(10) 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.  
(11) 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).

Specification Definitions  
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.  
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.  
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.  
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1  
LSB. Measured at sample rate = 500 MSPS with a 1MHz input sinewave.  
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:  
Positive Gain Error = Offset Error Positive Full-Scale Error  
Negative Gain Error = (Offset Error Negative Full-Scale Error)  
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.  
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  
(1)  
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 ADC08D1520.  
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.  
VD+  
VD-  
VOD  
VD+  
VOS  
VD-  
GND  
VOD = | VD+ - VD- |  
Figure 2.  
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 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 with the FSR pin low. For the ADC08D1520 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 127.5.  
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 accuracy.  
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  
.
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 ADC08D1520 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.  
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, 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  
2
2
f10  
A
+ . . . + A  
f2  
THD = 20 x log  
2
A
f1  
(2)  
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 ADC08D1520 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 Information Section.  
While it is not recommended in radiation environments to allow an active pin to float, pins 4, 14, 52 and 127 of  
the ADC08D1520 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 radiation environments.  
OVERVIEW  
The ADC08D1520 uses a calibrated folding and interpolating 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 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 200  
MSPS to 1.7 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 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.  
Each converter has a selectable output demultiplexer which feeds two LVDS buses. If the 1:2 Demultiplexed  
Mode is selected, the output data rate is reduced to half the input sample rate on each bus. When Non-  
Demultiplexed Mode is selected, 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  
erroneous data capture of some or all of the bits, especially at higher sample rates and in marginally designed  
systems.  
Calibration  
The ADC08D1520 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 programmed 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.  
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 register in the  
Extended Control Mode. Disabling the input termination resistor is not recommended for the initial calibration  
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  
Initiating Calibration for more information. Calibration can not be initiated or run while the device is in the Power-  
Down Mode. SeePower Down for information on the interaction between Power down and calibration.

In normal operation, calibration should be performed just after application of power and whenever a valid  
calibration command 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 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 negative 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.  
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.  
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 the appropriate section for information on maintaining  
DCLK operation during on-command calibration.  
This external resistor is located between pin 32 and ground. REXT must be 3300 ±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 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:  
Changing OUTV  
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  
Doing any of these actions can cause faulty calibration.  
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 ADC08D1520 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 response beyond 1.5 GHz. The ADC08D1520 output data signaling  
is LVDS 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 ADC08D1520 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 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 OutV (pin 3),  
OutEdge/DDR (pin 4), FSR (pin 14) and DES (pin 127). See the appropriate section for details on the Extended  
Control Mode.  
The Analog Inputs  
The ADC08D1520 must be driven with a differential input signal. Operation with a single-ended signal is not  
recommended. It is important that the inputs either be a.c. coupled to the inputs with the VCMO (pin 7) grouned, or  
d.c. coupled with the VCMO pin left floating.  
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.  
In the Extended Control Mode, the Input Full-Scale Voltage Adjust register allows the input full-scale range to be  
adjusted as described in REGISTER DESCRIPTION and THE ANALOG INPUT.  
Clocking  
The ADC08D1520 must be driven with an a.c. coupled, differential clock signal. 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.  
The ADC08D1520 offers input and output clocking options. These options include a choice of Dual Edge  
Sampling (DES) or "interleaved mode" where the ADC08D1520 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.  
The ADC08D1520 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.  
Dual-Edge Sampling  
The DES Mode allows one of the ADC08D1520'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.  
In this mode, the outputs must be carefully interleaved to reconstruct the sampled signal. If the device is  
programmed into the 1:2 Demultiplex Mode while in DES Mode, the data is effectively 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 available in parallel. To properly reconstruct the sampled waveform, 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.  
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.

The ADC08D1520 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 optimal Dual-Edge Sampling ENOB  
performance.  
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.

OutEdge and Demultiplex Control 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 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 grounding this input causes the output to transition on the falling edge of DCLK. See 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 selects whether the device is in Non-Demultiplex or 1:2 Demultiplex Mode. In the DDR case, the DCLK has a  
0° phase relationship with the output data independent of the demultiplexer selection.  
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 MULTIPLE ADC SYNCHRONIZATION  
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 output buses. With double data rate the DCLK  
frequency is half 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.

SNAS420O JANUARY 2008REVISED MARCH 2013  
Clocking Summary  
The chip may be in one of four modes, depending on the Dual- Edge Sampling (DES) selection and the  
demultiplex selection. 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 selection, 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-Demux 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 corresponding digital output  
data would be available on both the DI and DId busses, but at half the rate of Non-Demux Mode.  
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 possible 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:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 power consumption. If the LVDS lines are long and/or the system in which the  
ADC08D1520 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.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Tying the VBG pin to VA will also increase the differential LVDS output voltage by up to  
40mV.  
Power Down  
The ADC08D1520 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 reduced 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.

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 meaningless information.  
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 completely 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.  
NON-EXTENDED CONTROL/EXTENDED CONTROL  
The ADC08D1520 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.  
Table 3 shows how several of the device features are affected by the control mode chosen.  
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.  
Powering up in Non-Extended Control Mode  
Non-Extended Control Mode is selected by setting pin 41 to logic high. After the part has stabilized, it should be  
put through a calibration routine. See Calibration  
Powering up in Extended Control Mode  
Extended Control Mode is selected by setting pin 41 to logic low. When the device is powered up in the  
Extended Control Mode, the Registers are loaded with invalid data and the Registers come up in an unknown  
state. Before initiating a calibration all nine registers must be written to and programmed into a known state. After  
the part has stabilized, it should be put through a calibration routine. See Calibration  
Powering up in Non-Extended Control Mode and then switching to Extended-Control Mode  
If the device is powered up in the Non-Extended Control Mode and the user switches to the Extended Control  
Mode after the part has stabilized, the registers will load with the register default states described in Table 4.  
Before writing to single registers, an initial write must be performed. This initial write can be done either while the  
part is still in Non-Extended Control Mode or after the part has been switched to Extended Control Mode.  
Initial write in Non-Extended Control Mode  
The initial write may be done by writing to any one or more of the registers. The part’s configuration will not  
change and the registers will load to the default states described in Table 4 when the part is switched to  
Extended Control Mode, after which writing to single registers is allowed.  
Initial write in Extended Control Mode  
If an initial write is not done in Non-Extended Control Mode, then all nine registers must be written to during the  
initial write in Extended Control Mode. After that, writing to single registers is allowed.

THE SERIAL INTERFACE  
IMPORTANT NOTE: During the initial write using the serial interface, all nine 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). Nine write only  
registers are accessible through this serial interface.  
SCS: This signal should be asserted low while accessing 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.  
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.  
Each Register access consists of 32 bits, as shown in Figure 7 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. 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 registers are indicated in Table 5.  
Refer to the Register Description (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.  
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.

nSD: Second DCLK Output. When this bit is 1b, the device only has one DCLK output and one OR output.  
When this output is 0b, the device has two identical DCLK outputs and no OR output.  
Default State: 1b  
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.  
Default State: 1b  
DCP: DDR Clock Phase. This bit only has an 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 Figure 5 as  
the phase reference.  
Default State: 0b  
Bit 10  
Bit 9  
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.  
Default State: 0b  
OV: Output Voltage. This bit determines the LVDS outputs' voltage amplitude and has the 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.  
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.  
Default State: 0b  
Must be set to 1b  
Bits 7:0  
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is recommended that this register should only be written upon power-up initialization as  
writing it may cause disturbance on the DCLK output as this signals basic configuration is changed.

For best performance, it is recommended that the value in this field be limited to the range of 00100 000 0b to  
1110 0000 0b. i.e., limit the amount of adjustment to ±15%. The remaining ±5% headroom allows for the ADC's  
own full scale variation. A gain adjustment does not require ADC re-calibration.

Note Regarding Extended Mode Offset Correction  
When using the I- Channel or Q- Channel Offset Adjust registers, 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  
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.

MULTIPLE ADC SYNCHRONIZATION  
The ADC08D1520 has the capability to precisely reset its sampling clock input to DCLK output relationship as  
determined by the user-supplied DCLK_RST pulse. This allows multiple ADCs in a system to have their DCLK  
(and data) outputs 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 requirements that are shown in Figure 8, Figure 9 and  
Figure 10 of the Timing Diagrams. The DCLK_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 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 8,  
Figure 9 and Figure 10 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 ADC08D1520's in the system. The DCLK output is enabled again after a  
constant 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 8, Figure 9 and Figure 10of the Timing Diagrams, 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 continuously, DCLK will become inactive during a  
calibration cycle. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that DCLK only be used as a data capture clock and not  
as a system clock.  
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 Application Information Section 2.4.3)  
ADC TEST PATTERN  
To aid in system debug, the ADC08D1520 has the capability of providing a test pattern at the four output ports  
completely independent of the input signal. The ADC is disengaged 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 8-bit word, alternating between 1's and 0's as described in the Table 15.

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

Applications Information  
APPLICATIONS IN RADIATION ENVIRONMENTS  
Applying the ADC08D1520 in a radiation environment should be done with careful consideration to that  
environment. 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 Functional Interrupts. However, there are still some recommendations and cautions.  
Total Ionizing Dose  
Radiation hardness assured (RHA) products are those part numbers with a total ionizing dose (TID) level  
specified in the Ordering Information table on the front page. Testing and qualification of these products is done  
on a wafer level according to MIL-STD-883, Test Method 1019. Wafer level TID data is available with lot  
shipments.  
Single Event Effects  
One time single event latch-up testing (SEL) was preformed according to EIA/JEDEC Standard, EIA/JEDEC57.  
The linear energy transfer threshold (LETth) shown in the Key Specifications table on the front page is the  
maximum LET tested. No evidence of Single Event Latch-up (SEL) or Single Event Functional Interrupt was  
seen. A test report is available upon request.

Floating pins  
There are four tri-level pins which activate the following modes when left floating: FSR/DCLK_RST-,  
OutEdge/DDR/SDATA, DRST_SEL and DES/SCS. If modes requiring 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 increased 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 tolerance 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 REFERENCE VOLTAGE  
The voltage reference for the ADC08D1520 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 nominal value VIN, 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 adjusted  
through a Full Scale Register in the Extended Control Mode.  
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 excursions will also activate the OR output for  
the time that the signal is out of range. See Out Of Range (OR) Indication.  
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.  
THE ANALOG INPUT  
The analog input is differential and the signal source may be a.c. or d.c.coupled. In the Non-Extended Control  
Mode, the full-scale input range is selected 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 Voltage Adjust register through the Serial Interface. For best performance, when adjusting the input full-  
scale range in the Extended Control, refer to REGISTER DESCRIPTION for guidelines on limiting the amount of  
adjustment.  
Table 17 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 17 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.

SNAS420O JANUARY 2008REVISED MARCH 2013  
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 adequate noise and distortion performance and adequate gain at the frequencies used  
for the application.  
Note that a precise d.c. common mode voltage must be present at the ADC inputs. This common mode voltage,  
VCMO, is provided on-chip when a.c. input coupling is used and the input signal is a.c. coupled to the ADC. When  
the inputs are a.c. coupled, the VCMO output must be grounded, as shown in Figure 37. This causes the on-chip  
VCMO voltage to be connected to the inputs through on-chip 50 kresistors.  
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.

Figure 37. VCMO Drive for A.C. Coupled Differential Input  
When the d.c. coupled mode is used, a 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. IMPORTANT NOTE: An  
analog input channel that is not used (e.g. in DES Mode) should be tied to the VCMO voltage when the inputs are  
d.c. coupled. Do not connect unused analog inputs to ground. 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  
remains within 50 mV of VCMO  
.
Handling Single-Ended Input Signals  
There is no provision for the ADC08D1520 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 accomplish single-ended to differential signal conversion is with an appropriate balun-connected  
transformer, as shown in Figure 38.

Figure 38. Single-Ended to Differential Signal Conversion using a Balun  
Figure 38 is a generic depiction of a single-ended to differential 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 designer contact the manufacturer of the balun they have selected 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 ADC08D1520’s on-chip 100differential input termination resistor. The range of this input  
termination resistor is described in the Converter Electrical Characteristics as the specification RIN.  
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 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 specified input range of the ADC as described in the Converter Electrical  
Characteristics as the specification VIN.  
d.c. Coupled Input  
When d.c. coupling to the ADC08D1520 analog inputs, single-ended to differential conversion can be  
accomplished with a high speed differential amplifier (LMH6555). Connecting the ADC08D1520 VCMO pin to the  
VCM_REF pin of the LMH6555, via an appropriate buffer, will ensure that the common mode input voltage meets  
the requirements for optimum performance of the ADC08D1520. The LMV321 was chosen to buffer VCMO for its  
low voltage operation and reasonable offset voltage. The output current from the ADC08D1520 VCMO pin should  
be limited to 100 μA.  
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 REGISTER DESCRIPTION.  
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 ADC08D1520 is derived from an internal band-gap reference. The FSR pin controls the  
effective reference voltage of the ADC08D1520 such that the differential 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 Converter Electrical Characteristics. Best SNR is obtained with FSR high.  
THE CLOCK INPUTS  
The ADC08D1520 has differential LVDS clock inputs, CLK+ and CLK-, which must be driven with an a.c.  
coupled, differential clock signal. Although the ADC08D1520 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 the Converter  
Electrical Characteristics. The clock inputs are internally terminated and biased. The input clock signal must be  
capacitive coupled to the clock pins as indicated in Figure 39.  
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 product 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 Thermal Management.

SNAS420O JANUARY 2008REVISED MARCH 2013  
The differential input clock line pair should have a characteristic impedance of 100and (when using a balun),  
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 ADC08D1520 clock input is internally terminated with an untrimmed 100Ω  
resistor.  
Insufficient input clock levels will result in poor dynamic performance. 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.  
The low and high times of the input clock signal can affect the performance of any A/D Converter. The  
ADC08D1520 features a duty cycle clock correction circuit which can maintain 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 ADC08D1520 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) = (VIN(P-P)/VINFSR) x (1/(2(N+1) x π x fIN))  
(3)  
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 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 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.  
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.  
CONTROL PINS  
Six control pins (without the use of the serial interface) provide a wide range of possibilities in the operation of  
the ADC08D1520 and facilitate its use. These control pins provide Full-Scale Input Range setting, Self  
Calibration, Output Edge Synchronization choice, LVDS Output Level choice and a Power Down feature.  
Full-Scale Input Range Setting  
The input full-scale range can be selected with the FSR control 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 THE  
ANALOG INPUT for more information.  
Calibration  
The ADC08D1520 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.

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 user has the option to disable the input termination resistor calibration for  
subsequent calibrations, which will ensure that the DCLK is continuously present at the output. The Resistor Trim  
Disable can be programmed in the Extended Configuration register (Addr: 9h) when in the Extended Control  
Mode. Refer to Table 10 for register programming information.  
As dynamic performance changes slightly with junction temperature, a calibration may be executed to bring the  
performance 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 Extended 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 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 indicating 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; therefore, it is not recommended for use as a system clock.  
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 mentioned in OVERVIEW, for best performance,  
a calibration should be performed 20 seconds or more after power up and repeated when the operating  
temperature changes significantly relative to the specific system design performance requirements. Dynamic  
performance changes slightly with increasing junction temperature and can be easily corrected by performing a  
calibration.  
Output Edge Synchronization  
DCLK signals are available to help latch the converter output data into external circuitry. The output data can be  
synchronized 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+.  
At the very high speeds of which the ADC08D1520 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.  
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.  
For short LVDS lines and low noise systems, satisfactory performance may be realized with the OutV input low.  
If the LVDS lines are long and/or the system in which the ADC08D1520 is used is noisy, it may be necessary to  
tie the OutV pin high.  
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 samples 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 presented 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  
interleaved sample rate. Data is presented in parallel on two output buses in the following order: DQ, DI.

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 sampled by both converters.  
In the Extended Control Mode, either input may be used for dual edge sampling. See Dual-Edge Sampling.  
Power Down Feature  
The Power Down pins (PD and PDQ) allow the ADC08D1520 to be entirely powered down (PD) or the Q-  
Channel channel to be powered down and the I- Channel to remain active. See Power Down for details on the  
power down feature.  
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 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 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. Refer to Power Down  
THE DIGITAL OUTPUTS  
The ADC08D1520 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 converters, 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 ADC08D1520 input clock rate and the two buses  
must be multiplexed to obtain the entire 1.5 GSPS conversion result.  
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 available on just one of the two LVDS buses  
and a 200 MHz input clock, decimating the 200 MSPS data by two.  
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 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 Diagrams section for  
details.  
The OutV pin is used to set the LVDS differential output levels. See LVDS Output Level Control.  
The output format is Offset Binary. 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 vary between codes 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. 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 JW Miller 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 ADC08D1520 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 ADC08D1520. The ADC supplies should be the same  
supply used for other analog circuitry, if not a dedicated supply.

Supply Voltage  
The ADC08D1520 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 ADC08D1520 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 ADC08D1520. The  
circuit of Figure 40 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 ADC08D1520, 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.  
In the circuit of Figure 40, 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 40. 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.  
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 ADC08D1520 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 ADC08D1520 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 150°C. That is, TA (ambient temperature) plus  
ADC power consumption times θJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance) should not exceed 150°C.  
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.  
The bottom of the package of the ADC08D1520 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 parametric  
performance.

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 located such that the bottom of the device is entirely over that thermal land  
pattern. This thermal land pattern should be electrically connected to ground.

Figure 41. Recommended Package 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 41.  
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 2.25 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 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 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.  
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 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 ADC08D1520  
die of θJ-PAD times typical power consumption.  
TEMPERATURE SENSOR DIODE  
The ADC08D1520 has an on-die temperature diode connected to pins Tdiode+/- which may be used to monitor  
the die temperature. TI also provides a family of temperature sensors for this application which monitor different  
numbers of external devices, See Table 18

The LM95235/13/14 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System Management Bus (SMBus)  
interface that can monitor the temperature of one/two/four remote diodes as well as its own temperature. The  
LM95235/13/14 can be used to accurately monitor the temperature of up to one/two/four external devices such  
as the ADC08D1520, a FPGA, other system components, and the ambient temperature.  
The LM95235/13/14 reports temperature in two different formats for +127.875°C range and 0°/255°C range. The  
LM95235/13/14 has a Sigma-Delta ADC core which provides the first level of noise immunity. For improved  
performance in a noise environment, the LM9535/13/14 includes programmable digital filters for Remote Diode  
temperature readings. When the digital filters are invoked, the resolution for the Remote Diode readings  
increases to 0.03125°C. For maximum flexibility and best accuracy, the LM95235/13/14 includes offset registers  
that allow calibration of other diode types.  
Diode fault detection circuitry in the LM95235/13/14 can detect the absence or fault state of a remote diode:  
whether D+ is shorted to the power supply, D- or ground, or floating.  
In the following typical application, the LM95213 is used to monitor the temperature of an ADC08D1520 as well  
as a FPGA. See Figure 42

LAYOUT AND GROUNDING  
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essential to ensure accurate conversion. 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 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 avoided as even a little coupling can cause problems at high frequencies. Best performance  
at high frequencies is obtained 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 ADC08D1520. 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 analog ground plane. All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, etc.) should be separated from any digital  
components.  
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE  
The ADC08D1520 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 CLOCK INPUTS.  
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 a lower impedance than offered by the package  
pins.  
USING THE SERIAL INTERFACE  
The ADC08D1520 may be operated in the Non-Extended Control (non-Serial Interface) Mode or in the extended  
control mode. Table 19 and Table 20 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. 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 19 indicates the pin  
functions of the ADC08D1520 in the Non-Extended Control Mode.

Extended Control Mode  
Pin 3 can be either high or low in the Non-Extended Control Mode. See the appropriate section for more  
information.  
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 Output 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 Double Data Rate) and  
the output edge synchronization is irrelevant since data is clocked out on both DCLK edges.  
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).

COMMON APPLICATION PITFALLS  
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 ADC08D1520. Such practice may lead to conversion  
inaccuracies and even to device damage.  
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 (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.  
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 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 excessively 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.  
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.
