14-Bit, 40MHz Sampling
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE:
High SFDR: 83dB at 10MHz fIN
High SNR: 75dB at 10MHz fIN
The ADS5421 is a high-dynamic range 14-bit, 40MHz,
pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). It includes a
high-bandwidth linear track-and-hold amplifier that gives
excellent spurious performance up to and beyond the Nyquist
rate. The clock input can accept a low-level differential sine
wave or square wave signal down to 0.5VPP, further improving
the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) performance.
● ON-BOARD TRACK-AND-HOLD:
Differential Inputs
Selectable Full-Scale Input Range
● FLEXIBLE CLOCKING:
The ADS5421 has a 4VPP differential input range
(2VPP • 2 inputs) for optimum Spurious-Free Dynamic
Range (SFDR). The differential operation gives the lowest
even-order harmonic components. A lower input voltage can
also be selected using the internal references, further
optimizing SFDR.

nonlinearity of RON. For ease of use, the ADS5421 incorpo-
rates a selectable voltage reference, a versatile clock input,
and a logic output driver designed to interface to 3V or 5V
logic.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS5421 is a high-speed, high-performance, CMOS
ADC build with a fully differential pipeline architecture. Each
stage contains a low-resolution quantizer and digital error
correction logic ensuring good differential linearity. The con-
version process is initiated by a rising edge of the external
convert clock. Once the signal is captured by the input track-
and-hold amplifier, the bits are sequentially encoded starting
with the Most Significant Bit (MSB). This process results in a
data latency of 10 clock cycles after which the output data is
available as a 14-bit parallel word either coded in a Straight
Offset Binary or Binary Two’s Complement format.

T&H
The analog input of the ADS5421 consists of a differential
track-and-hold circuit, as shown in Figure 1. The differential
topology produces a high level of AC performance at high
sampling rates. It also results in a very high usable input
bandwidth—especially important for Intermediate Frequency
(IF) or undersampling applications. Both inputs (IN, IN)
require external biasing up to a common-mode voltage that
is typically at the mid-supply level (+VS/2). This is because
the on-resistance of the CMOS switches is lowest at this
voltage, minimizing the effects of the signal-dependent,

distortion performance. Here, the SNR number is typically 3dB
down compared to the 4VPP range, while an improvement in
the distortion performance of the driver amplifier may be
realized due to the reduced output power level required.
ANALOG INPUTS
TYPES OF APPLICATIONS
The analog input of the ADS5421 can be configured in various
ways and driven with different circuits, depending on the appli-
cation and the desired level of performance. Offering an ex-
tremely high dynamic range at high input frequencies, the
ADS5421 is particularly well suited for communication systems
that digitize wideband signals. Features on the ADS5421, like
the input range selector, or the option of an external reference,
provide the needed flexibility to accommodate a wide range of
applications. In any case, the analog interface/driver require-
ments should be carefully examined before selecting the appro-
priate circuit configuration. The circuit definition should include
considerations on the input frequency spectrum and amplitude,
as well as the available power supplies.
INPUT BIASING (VCM
)
The ADS5421 operates from a single +5V supply, and
requires each of the analog inputs to be externally biased to
a common-mode voltage of typically +2.5V. This allows a
symmetrical signal swing while maintaining sufficient head-
room to either supply rail. Communication systems are usu-
ally AC-coupled in between signal processing stages, mak-
ing it convenient to set individual common-mode voltages
and allow optimizing the DC operating point for each stage.
Other applications, such as imaging, process mainly unipolar
or DC-restored signals. In this case, the common-mode
voltage may be shifted such that the full input range of the
converter is utilized.
DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS
The ADS5421 input structure is designed to accept the applied
signal in differential format. Differential operation of the
ADS5421 requires an input signal that consists of an in-phase
and a 180° out-of-phase component simultaneously applied to
the inputs (IN, IN). Differential signals offer a number of
advantages, which in many applications will be instrumental in
achieving the best harmonic performance of the ADS5421:
It should be noted that the CM pin is not internally buffered,
but ties directly to the reference ladder. Therefore, it is
recommended to keep loading of this pin to a minimum
(< 100µA) to avoid an increase in the nonlinearity of the
converter. Additionally, the DC voltage at the CM pin is not
precisely +2.5V, but is subject to the tolerance of the top and
bottom references, as well as the resistor ladder. Further-
more, the common-mode voltage typically declines with an
increase in sampling frequency. This, however, does not
affect the performance.
•
The signal amplitude is half of that required for the single-
ended operation and is, therefore, less demanding to
achieve while maintaining good linearity performance from
the signal source.
INPUT IMPEDANCE
•
The reduced signal swing allows for more headroom of
the interface circuitry and, therefore, a wider selection of
the best suitable driver amplifier.
The input of the ADS5421 is capacitive, and the driving source
needs to provide the slew current to charge or discharge the
input sampling capacitor while the track-and-hold amplifier is
in track mode (see Figure 1). This effectively results in a
dynamic input impedance that is a function of the sampling
frequency. Figure 2 depicts the differential input impedance of
the ADS5421 as a function of the input frequency.
•
•
Even-order harmonics are minimized.
Improves the noise immunity based on the common-
mode input rejection of the converter.
Both inputs are identical in terms of their impedance and
performance with the exception that by applying the signal to
the complementary input (IN) instead of the IN input will invert
the orientation of the input signal relative to the output code.

Employing dual-supply amplifiers and AC-coupling will usually
yield the best results. DC-coupling and/or single-supply ampli-
fiers impose additional design constraints due to their head-
room requirements, especially when selecting the
4VPP input range. The full-scale input range of the ADS5421
is defined either by the settings of the reference select pins
(SEL1, SEL2) or by an external reference voltage
(see Table I). By choosing between the different signal input
ranges, trade-offs can be made between noise and distortion
performance. For maximizing the SNR—important for time-
domain applications—the 4VPP range may be selected. This
range may also be used with low-level (–6dBFS to –40dBFS)
but high-frequency inputs (multi-tone). The 3VPP range may be
considered for achieving a combination of both low-noise and

For applications that use op amps to drive the ADC, it is
recommended that a series resistor be added between the
amplifier output and the converter inputs. This will isolate the
capacitive input of the converter from the driving source and
avoid gain peaking, or instability; furthermore, it will create a
1st-order, low-pass filter in conjunction with the specified
input capacitance of the ADS5421. Its cutoff frequency can
be adjusted further by adding an external shunt capacitor
from each signal input to ground. The optimum values of this
RC network, however, depend on a variety of factors, includ-
ing the ADS5421 sampling rate, the selected op amp, the
interface configuration, and the particular application (time
domain versus frequency domain). Generally, increasing the
size of the series resistor and/or capacitor will improve the
SNR, however, depending on the signal source, large resis-
tor values may be detrimental to the harmonic distortion
performance. In any case, the use of the RC network is
optional but optimizing the values to adapt to the specific
application is encouraged.
datasheet located at the Texas Instruments web site
(www.ti.com). In general, differential amplifiers provide for a
high-performance driver solution for baseband applications,
and different differential amplifier models can be selected
depending on the system requirements.
TRANSFORMER-COUPLED INTERFACE CIRCUITS
If the application allows for AC-coupling but requires a signal
conversion from a single-ended source to drive the ADS5421
differentially, using a transformer offers a number of advan-
tages. As a passive component, it does not add to the total
noise, and by using a step-up transformer, further signal
amplification can be realized. As a result, the signal swing of
the amplifier driving the transformer can be reduced, leading
to an increased headroom for the amplifier and improved
distortion performance.
A transformer interface solution is given in Figure 4. The
input signal is assumed to be an IF and bandpass filtered
prior to the IF amplifier. Dedicated IF amplifiers are com-
monly fixed-gain blocks and feature a very high bandwidth,
low-noise figure, and a high intercept point, but at the
expense of high quiescent currents, which are often around
100mA. The IF amplifier may be AC-coupled, or directly
connected to the primary side of the transformer. A variety of
miniature RF transformers are readily available from different
manufacturers, (e.g., Mini-Circuits, Coilcraft, or Trak). For
selection, it is important to carefully examine the application
requirements and determine the correct model, the desired
impedance ratio, and frequency characteristics. Furthermore,
the appropriate model must support the targeted distortion
level and should not exhibit any core saturation at full-scale
voltage levels. The transformer center tap can be directly tied
to the CM pin of the converter because it does not appreciably
load the ADC reference (see Figure 4). The value of termina-
tion resistor RT must be chosen to satisfy the termination
requirements of the source impedance (RS). It can be calcu-
lated using the equation RT = n2 • RS to ensure proper
impedance matching.
ANALOG INPUT DRIVER CONFIGURATIONS
The following section provides some principal circuit sugges-
tions on how to interface the analog input signal to the
ADS5421. Applications that have a requirement for DC-
coupling a new differential amplifier, such as the THS4502,
can be used to drive the ADS5421, as shown in Figure 3. The
THS4502 amplifier allows a single-ended to differential con-
version to be performed easily, which reduces component
cost. In addition, the VCM pin on the THS4502 can be directly
tied to the common-mode pin (CM) of the ADS5421 in order
to set up the necessary bias voltage for the converter inputs.
As shown in Figure 3, the THS4502 is configured for unity
gain. If required, higher gain can easily be configured, and a
low-pass filter can be created by adding small capacitors
(e.g., 10pF) in parallel to the feedback resistors. Due to the
THS4502 driving a capacitive load, small series resistors in
the output ensure stable operation. Further details of this and
other functions of the THS4502 may be found in its product

filter placed in series with each converter input. This optional
filter can be used to set a defined corner frequency and
attenuate some of the wideband noise. The actual compo-
nent values would need to be tuned for individual application
requirements. As a guideline, resistor values are typically in
the range of 10Ω to 50Ω, and capacitors in the range of 10pF
to 100pF. In any case, the RIN and CIN values should have
a low tolerance. This will ensure that the ADS5421 sees
closely matched source impedances.
For applications in which the input frequency is limited to
approximately 10MHz (e.g., baseband), a high-speed opera-
tional amplifier may be used. The OPA847 is configured for the
noninverting mode; this amplifies the single-ended input signal
and drives the primary of a RF transformer (see Figure 5). To
maintain the very low distortion performance of the OPA847, it
may be advantageous to set the full-scale input range of the
ADS5421 to 3VPP

AC-COUPLED, DIFFERENTIAL INTERFACE WITH
GAIN
For the measured 2-tone, 3rd-order distortion for the ampli-
fier portion of the circuit of Figure 6, see Figure 7. The curve
is for a total 2-tone envelope of 4VPP, requiring two tones,
each 2VPP across the OPA847 outputs. The basic measure-
ment dynamic range for the two close-in spurious tones is
approximately 85dBc. The 4VPP test does not show measur-
able 3rd-order spurious until 25MHz.
The interface circuit example presented in Figure 6 employs
two OPA687s, (decompensated voltage-feedback op amps),
optimized for gains of 12V/V or higher. Implementing a new
compensation technique allows the OPA847s to operate with
a reduced signal gain of 8.5V/V, while maintaining the high
loop gain and the associated excellent distortion perfor-
mance offered by the decompensated architecture. For a
detailed discussion on this circuit and the compensation
scheme, refer to the OPA847 data sheet (SBOS251) located
at www.ti.com. Input transformer, T1, converts the single-
ended input signal to a differential signal required at the
inverting inputs of the amplifier, which are tuned to provide a
50Ω impedance match to an assumed 50Ω source. To
achieve the 50Ω input match at the primary of the 1:2
transformer, the secondary must see a 200Ω load imped-
ance. Both amplifiers are configured for the inverting mode
resulting in close gain and phase matching of the differential
signal. This technique, along with a highly symmetrical lay-
out, is instrumental in achieving a substantial reduction of the
2nd-harmonic, while retaining excellent 3rd-order perfor-
mance. A common-mode voltage, VCM, is applied to the
noninverting inputs of the OPA847. Additional series 20Ω
resistors isolate the output of the op amps from the capaci-
tive load presented by the 40pF capacitors and the input
capacitance of the ADS5421. This 20Ω/47pF combination

The top and bottom reference outputs can be used to provide
up to 1mA of current (sink or source) to external circuits.
Degradation of the differential linearity (DNL) and, conse-
quently, the dynamic performance, of the ADS5421 may
occur if this limit is exceeded.
REFERENCE
REFERENCE OPERATION
Integrated into the ADS5421 is a bandgap reference circuit,
including logic that provides a +1.5V or +2V reference
output by selecting the corresponding pin-strap configura-
tion. Table I lists an overview of the possible reference
options and pin configurations.
USING EXTERNAL REFERENCES
For even more design flexibility, the ADS5421 can be oper-
ated with external references. The utilization of an external
reference voltage may be considered for applications requir-
ing higher accuracy, improved temperature stability, or a
continuous adjustment of the converter full-scale range.
Especially in multichannel applications, the use of a common
external reference offers the benefit of improving the gain
matching between converters. Selection between internal or
external reference operation is controlled through the VREF
pin. The internal reference will become disabled if the voltage
applied to the VREF pin exceeds +3.5VDC. Once selected, the
ADS5421 requires two reference voltages: a top reference
voltage applied to the REFT pin and a bottom reference
voltage applied to the REFB pin (see Table I). The full-scale
range is determined by FSR = 2 x (VREFT – VREFB). It is
recommended to maintain the common-mode voltage at
+2.5V. As illustrated in Figure 9, a micropower reference
(REF1004) and a dual, single-supply amplifier (OPA2234)
can be used to generate a precision external reference. Note
that the function of the range select pins, SEL1 and SEL2,
are disabled while the converter is operating in external
reference mode.
Figure 8 shows the basic model of the internal reference
circuit. The functional blocks are a 1V bandgap voltage
reference, a selectable gain amplifier, the drivers for the top
and bottom reference (REFT, REFB), and the resistive refer-
ence ladder. The ladder resistance measures approximately
1kΩ between the REFT and REFB pins. The ladder is split
into two equal segments establishing a common-mode volt-
age at the ladder midpoint, labeled CM. The ADS5421
requires solid bypassing for all reference pins to keep the
effects of clock feedthrough to a minimum and to achieve the
specified level of performance. Figure 8 shows the recom-
mended decoupling scheme. All 0.1µF capacitors must be
located as close to the pins as possible. In addition, pins
REFT, CM, and REFB must be decoupled with tantalum
surface-mount capacitors (2.2µF or 4.7µF).
When operating the ADS5421 with the internal reference, the
effective full-scale input span for each of the inputs, IN and
IN, is determined by the voltage at the VREF pin, given to:

impedance of the clock inputs (CLK, CLK) to approximately
2.7kΩ single-ended, or 5.5kΩ differentially. The associated
ground referenced input capacitance is approximately 5pF
for each input. If a logic voltage other than the nominal +1.6V
is desired, the clock inputs can be externally driven to
establish an alternate threshold voltage.
Applying a single-ended clock signal will provide satisfactory
results in many applications. However, unbalanced high-speed
logic signals can introduce a high amount of disturbances,
such as ringing or ground bouncing. In addition, a high
amplitude can cause the clock signal to have unsymmetrical
rise-and-fall times, potentially affecting the converter distortion
performance. Proper termination practice and a clean PC
board layout will help to keep those effects to a minimum.

ADS5421
To take full advantage of the excellent distortion performance
of the ADS5421, it is recommended to drive the clock inputs
differentially. A differential clock improves the digital
feedthrough immunity and minimizes the effect of modulation
between the signal and the clock. Figure 12 illustrates a
simple method of converting a square wave clock from
single-ended to differential using an RF transformer. Small
surface-mount transformers are readily available from sev-
eral manufacturers (e.g., model ADT1-1 by Mini-Circuits). A
capacitor in series with the primary side may be inserted to
block any DC voltage present in the signal. The secondary
side connects directly to the two clock inputs of the converter
because the clock inputs are self-biased.

The ADS5421 can be interfaced to standard TTL or CMOS
logic and accepts 3V or 5V compliant logic levels. In this
case, the clock signal should be applied to the CLK input,
whereas the complementary clock input (CLK) should be
bypassed to ground by a low-inductance ceramic chip ca-
pacitor, as shown in Figure 11. Depending on the quality of
the signal, inserting a series, damping resistor can be benefi-
cial to reduce ringing. When digitizing at high sampling rates
the clock should have a 50% duty cycle (tH = tL) to maintain
good distortion performance.

The clock inputs of the ADS5421 can be connected in a
number of ways. However, the best performance is obtained
when the clock input pins are driven differentially. Operating in
this mode, the clock inputs accommodate signal swings rang-
ing from 2.5VPP down to 0.5VPP differentially. This allows direct
interfacing of clock sources such as voltage-controlled crystal
oscillators (VCXO) to the ADS5421. The advantage here is the
elimination of external logic, usually necessary to convert the
clock signal into a suitable logic (TTL or CMOS) signal that
otherwise would create an additional source of jitter. In any
case, a very low-jitter clock is fundamental to preserving the
excellent AC performance of the ADS5421. The converter
itself is specified for a low jitter, characterizing the outstanding
capability of the internal clock and track-and-hold circuitry.
Generally, as the input frequency increases, the clock jitter
becomes more dominant for maintaining a good signal-to-
noise ratio. This is particularly critical in IF sampling applica-
tions where the sampling frequency is lower than input fre-
quency (undersampling). The following equation can be used
to calculate the achievable SNR for a given input frequency
and clock jitter (tJA in ps rms):
MINIMUM SAMPLING RATE
The pipeline architecture of the ADS5421 uses a switched-
capacitor technique in its internal track-and-hold stages. With
each clock cycle, charges representing the captured signal
level are moved within the ADC pipeline core. The high
sampling speed necessitates the use of very small capacitor
values. In order to hold the droop errors low, the capacitors
require a minimum refresh rate. To maintain accuracy of the
acquired sample charge, the sampling clock on the ADS5421
must not drop below the specified minimum of 1MHz.
DATA OUTPUT FORMAT (BTC)
The ADS5421 makes two data output formats available,
either the Straight Offset Binary (SOB) code or the Binary
Two’s Complement (BTC) code. The selection of the output
coding is controlled through the BTC pin. Applying a logic
HIGH will enable the BTC coding, whereas a logic LOW will
enable the SOB code. The BTC output format is widely used
to interface to microprocessors, for example. The two code
structures are identical with the exception that the MSB is
inverted for the BTC format, as shown in Table II.

If the input signal exceeds the full-scale range, the data
outputs will exhibit the respective full-scale code depending
on the selected coding format.

Depending on the nature of the clock source output imped-
ance, impedance matching might become necessary. For
this, a termination resistor, RT, can be installed (see Figure
12). To calculate the correct value for this resistor, consider
the impedance ratio of the selected transformer and the
differential clock input impedance of the ADS5421, which is
approximately 5.5kΩ.

POWER DISSIPATION
OUTPUT ENABLE (OE
)
A majority of the ADS5421 total power consumption is used
for biasing, therefore; it is independent of the applied clock
frequency. Figure 14 shows the typical variation in power
consumption versus the clock speed. The current on the
VDRV supply is directly related to the capacitive loading of
the data output pins and care must be taken to minimize
such loading.
The digital outputs of the ADS5421 can be set to high
impedance (tri-state), exercising the output enable pin (OE).
For normal operation, this pin must be at a logic LOW
potential, whereas a logic HIGH voltage disables the outputs.
Even though this function affects the output driver stage, the
threshold voltages for the OE pin do not depend on the
output driver supply (VDRV), but are fixed (see the Electrical
Characteristics Table and the Digital Inputs Sections). Oper-
ating the OE function dynamically (e.g., high-speed multi-
plexing) should be avoided as it will corrupt the conversion
process.

POWER-DOWN (PD)
A power-down pin is provided; when taken HIGH, this pin
shuts down portions within the ADS5421 and reduces the
power dissipation to less than 40mW. The remaining active
blocks include the internal reference, ensuring a fast reacti-
vation time. During power-down, data in the converter pipe-
line will be lost and new valid data will be subject to the
specified pipeline delay. If the PD pin is not used, it should
be tied to ground or a logic LOW level.

OUTPUT LOADING
It is recommended to keep the capacitive loading on the data
output lines as low as possible, preferably below 15pF.
Higher capacitive loading will cause larger dynamic currents
as the digital outputs are changing. For example, with a
typical output slew rate of 0.8V/ns and a total capacitive
loading of 10pF (including 4pF output capacitance, 5pF input
capacitance of external logic buffer, and 1pF PC board
parasitics), a bit transition can cause a dynamic current of
(10pF • 0.8V/1ns = 8mA). These high current surges can
feed back to the analog portion of the ADS5421 and ad-
versely affect the performance. If necessary, external buffers
or latches close to the converter’s output pins can be used to
minimize the capacitive loading. They also provide the added
benefit of isolating the ADS5421 from any digital activities on
the bus coupling back high-frequency noise.
FIGURE 14. Power Dissipation vs Clock Frequency.
DIGITAL OUTPUT DRIVER SUPPLY (VDRV)
A dedicated supply pin, VDRV, provides power to the logic
output drivers of the ADS5421 and can be operated with a
supply voltage in the range of +3.0V to +5.0V. This can
simplify interfacing to various logic families, in particular low-
voltage CMOS. It is recommended to operate the ADS5421
with a +3.3V supply voltage on VDRV. This will lower the
power dissipation in the output stages due to the lower output
swing and reduce current glitches on the supply line that may
affect the AC performance of the converter. The analog
supply (+VSA) and digital supply (+VSD) may be tied together,
with a ferrite bead or inductor between the supply pins. Each
of the these supply pins must be bypassed separately with at
least one 0.1µF ceramic chip capacitor, forming a pi-filter
(see Figure 15). The recommended operation for the ADS5421
is +5V for the +VS pins and +3.3V on the output driver pin
(VDRV).
POWER SUPPLIES
When defining the power supplies for the ADS5421, it is
highly recommended to consider linear supplies instead of
switching types. Even with good filtering, switching supplies
can radiate noise that could interfere with any high-
frequency input signal and cause unwanted modulation prod-
ucts. At its full conversion rate of 40MHz, the ADS5421
typically requires 170mA of supply current on the +5V sup-
plies. Note that this supply voltage should stay within a 5%
tolerance.
The configuration of the supplies requires that a specific
power-up sequence be followed for the ADS5421. Analog
voltage must be applied to the analog supply pin (+VSA
before applying a voltage to the driver supply (VDRV) or
before bringing both the digital supply (+VSD) and VDRV up
simultaneously. Powering up +VSD and VDRV prior to +VSA
will cause a large current on +VSA and result in the ADS5421
not functioning properly.

the supply pins as possible. They are best placed directly
under the package where double-sided component mounting
is allowed. In addition, larger bipolar decoupling capacitors
(2.2µF to 10µF), effective at lower frequencies, must also be
used on the main supply pins. They can be placed on the PC
board in proximity (< 0.5") of the ADC.
LAYOUT AND DECOUPLING
CONSIDERATIONS
Proper grounding and bypassing, short lead length, and the
use of ground planes are particularly important for high-
frequency designs. Achieving optimum performance with a
fast sampling converter like the ADS5421 requires careful
attention to the PC board layout to minimize the effect of
board parasitics and optimize component placement. A mul-
tilayer board usually ensures best results and allows conve-
nient component placement.
If the analog inputs to the ADS5421 are driven differentially,
it is especially important to optimize towards a highly sym-
metrical layout. Small trace length differences can create
phase shifts compromising a good distortion performance.
For this reason, the use of two single op amps rather than
one dual amplifier enables a more symmetrical layout and a
better match of parasitic capacitances. The pin orientation of
the ADS5421 package follows a flow-through design with the
analog inputs located on one side of the package whereas
the digital outputs are located on the opposite side of the
quad-flat package. This provides a good physical isolation
between the analog and digital connections. While designing
the layout, it is important to keep the analog signal traces
separated from any digital lines to prevent noise coupling
onto the analog portion.
The ADS5421 must be treated as an analog component and
the +VSA pins connected to a clean analog supply. This
ensures the most consistent results, because digital supplies
often carry a high level of switching noise that could couple
into the converter and degrade the performance. As men-
tioned previously, the driver supply pins (VDRV) must also
be connected to a low-noise supply. Supplies of adjacent
digital circuits can carry substantial current transients. The
supply voltage must be thoroughly filtered before connecting
to the VDRV supply of the converter. All ground connections
on the ADS5421 are internally bonded to the metal flag
(bottom of package) that forms a large ground plane. All
ground pins must directly connect to an analog ground plane
that covers the PC board area under the converter.
Try to match trace length for the differential clock signal (if
used) to avoid mismatches in propagation delays. Single-
ended clock lines must be short and should not cross any
other signal traces.
Short circuit traces on the digital outputs will minimize capaci-
tive loading. Trace length must be kept short to the receiving
gate (< 2") with only one CMOS gate connected to one digital
output. If possible, the digital data outputs must be buffered
(with the TI SN74AVC16244, for example). Dynamic perfor-
mance can also be improved with the insertion of series
resistors at each data output line. This sets a defined time
constant and reduces the slew rate that would otherwise flow
due to the fast edge rate. The resistor value may be chosen
to result in a time constant of 15% to 25% of the used data
rate.
Due to its high sampling frequency, the ADS5421 generates
high-frequency current transients and noise (clock
feedthrough) that are fed back into the supply and reference
lines. If not sufficiently bypassed, this adds noise to the
conversion process. See Figure 15 for the recommended
supply decoupling scheme for the ADS5421. All +VS pins
should be bypassed with a combination of 10nF, 0.1µF
ceramic chip capacitors (0805, low ESR) and a 10µF tanta-
lum tank capacitor. A similar approach may be used on the
driver supply pins, VDRV. In order to minimize the lead and
trace inductance, the capacitors must be located as close to
