DESCRIPTION
The THS1041 is a CMOS, low power, 10-bit, 40 MSPS
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a
single 3-V supply. The THS1041 has been designed to
give circuit developers flexibility. The analog input to the
THS1041 can be either single-ended or differential.
This device has a built-in clamp amplifier whose clamp
input level can be driven from an external dc source or
from an internal high-precision 10-bit digital clamp level
programmable via an internal CLAMP register. A 3-bit
PGA is included to maintain SNR for small signals. The
THS1041 provides a wide selection of voltage
references to match the user’s design requirements.
For more design flexibility, the internal reference can be
bypassed to use an external reference to suit the dc
accuracy and temperature drift requirements of the
application. The out-of-range output indicates any
out-of-range condition in THS1041’s input signal. The
format of the digital output can be coded in either
unsigned binary or 2s complement.
The speed, resolution, and single-supply operation of
the THS1041 are suited to applications in set-top-box
(STB), video, multimedia, imaging, high-speed
acquisition, and communications. The built-in clamp
function allows dc restoration of a video signal and is
suitable for video applications. The speed and
resolution ideally suit charge-couple device (CCD) input
systems such as color scanners, digital copiers, digital
cameras, and camcorders. A wide input voltage range
allows the THS1041 to be applied in both imaging and
communications systems.
The THS1041C is characterized for operation from 0°C
to 70°C, while the THS1041I is characterized for
operation from −40°C to 85°C.

8. The CLAMPOUT pin must see a load capacitance of at least 10 nF to ensure stability of the on-chip clamp buffer. When using the
clamp for dc restoration, the signal coupling capacitor should be at least 10 nF. When using the clamp buffer as a dc biasing reference,
CLAMPOUT should be decoupled to analog ground through at least a 10-nF capacitor.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
functional overview
Refer to functional block diagram. A single-ended, sample rate clock is required at pin CLK for device operation.
Analog inputs AIN+ and AIN− are sampled on each rising edge of CLK in a switched capacitor sample and hold
unit, the output of which feeds a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) to the ADC core, where analog-to-digital
conversion is performed against the ADC reference voltages REFT and REFB.
Internal or external ADC reference voltage configurations are selected by connecting the MODE pin
appropriately. When MODE = AGND, the user must provide external sources at pins REFB and REFT. When
MODE = AVDD or MODE = AVDD/2, an internal ADC references generator (A2) is enabled, which drives the
REFT and REFB pins using the voltage at pin VREF as its input. The user can choose to drive VREF from the
internal bandgap reference, or they can disable A1 and provide their own reference voltage at pin VREF.
On the fourth rising CLK edge following the edge that sampled AIN+ and AIN−, the conversion result is output
via data pins I/O0 to I/O9. The output buf fers can be disabled by pulling pin OE high, allowing the user to place
device configuration data on the data pins, which are then latched into the internal control registers by strobing
the WR pin high then low. The internal registers control the data output format (unsigned or twos complement),
the PGA gain, device powerdown, the clamp functions, and the clamp DAC voltage.
The THS1041 offers a clamp circuit suitable for dc restoration of ac-coupled signals. The clamp voltage level
can be set using an external reference applied to the CLAMPIN pin, or it can be set to a reference level provided
by an on-chip 10-bit DAC. The CLAMPOUT pin must be connected externally to AIN+ or AIN− in applications
requiring the clamp function.
The following sections explain further:
DHow signals flow from AIN+ and AIN− to the ADC core, and how the reference voltages at REFT and REFB
set the ADC input range and hence the input range at AIN+ and AIN−
DHow to set the ADC references REFT and REFB using external sources or the internal ADC reference buffer
(A2) to match the device input range to the input signal
DHow to set the output of the internal bandgap reference (A1) if required
DHow to use the clamp and device control registers

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
sample-and-hold
Differential input signal sources can be connected directly to the AIN+ and AIN− pins using either dc- or
ac-coupling.
For single-ended sources, the signal can be dc- or ac-coupled to one of AIN+ or AIN−, and a suitable reference
voltage (usually the midscale voltage, see operating configuration examples) must be applied to the other pin.
Note that connecting the signal to AIN− results in it being inverted during sampling.
The sample and hold differential output voltage VP = VP+ − VP− is given by
VP = (AIN+) − (AIN−)
A clamp is available for dc restoration of ac-coupled single-ended inputs (see clamp operation).
programmable gain amplifier
VP is amplified by the PGA and fed to the ADC as a voltage VQ = VQ+ − VQ− where
VQ = Gain × VP = Gain × [(AIN+) − (AIN−)]
analog-to-digital converter
VQ is digitized by the ADC, using the voltages at pins REFT and REFB to set the ADC zero-scale (code 0) and
full-scale (code 1023) input voltages.
VQ (ZS) = − (REFT − REFB)
VQ (FS) = (REFT − REFB)
Any inputs at AIN+ and AIN− that give VQ voltages less than VQ(ZS) or greater than VQ(FS) lie outside the
ADC’ s conversion range and attempts to convert such voltages are signalled by driving pin OVR high when the
conversion result is output. VQ voltages less than VQ(ZS) digitize to give ADC output code 0, and VQ voltages
greater than VQ(FS) give ADC output code 1023.
complete system and system input range
Combining the above equations to find the input voltages [(AIN+) − (AIN−)] that correspond to the limits of the
ADC’ s valid input range gives:
(REFB *REFT)
Gain v[(AIN))*(AIN*)] v(REFT *REFB)
Gain
For both single-ended and dif ferential inputs, the ADC can thus handle signals with a peak-to-peak input range
[(AIN+) − (AIN−)] of:
pk−pk input range +2 (REFT *REFB)
Gain
[(AIN+) − (AIN−)]
The next sections describe the options available to the user for setting the REFT and REFB voltages to obtain
the desired input range and performance in their THS1041 applications.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
ADC reference generation
The THS1041 ADC references REFT and REFB can be driven from external (off-chip) sources or from the
internal A2 reference buffer. The voltage at the MODE pin determines the ADC references source.
Connecting MODE to AGND enables external ADC references mode. In this mode the internal buffer A2 is
powered down and the user must provide the REFT and REFB voltages by connecting external sources directly
to these pins. This mode is useful where several THS1041 devices must share common references for best
matching of their ADC input ranges, or when the application requires better accuracy and temperature stability
than the on-chip reference source can provide.
Connecting MODE to AVDD or AVDD/2 enables internal ADC references mode. In this mode the buffer A2 is
powered up and drives the REFT and REFB pins. External reference sources should not be connected in this
mode. Using internal ADC references mode when possible helps to reduce the component count and hence
the system cost.
When MODE is connected to AVDD, a buffered AVDD/2 voltage is also available at the CLAMPOUT pin. This
voltage can be used as a dc bias level for any ac-coupling networks connecting the input signal sources to the
AIN+ and AIN− pins.

Connecting MODE to AVDD or AVDD/2 enables the internal ADC references buffer A2. The outputs of A2 are

voltages at REFT and REFB are:

Depending on the connection of the REFSENSE pin, the voltage on VREF may be driven by an off-chip source
or by the internal bandgap reference (A1) (see onboard reference generator configuration) to match the
THS1041 input range to their application requirements.
When MODE = AVDD the CLAMPOUT pin provides a buffered, stabilized AVDD/2 output voltage that can be
used as a bias reference for ac coupling networks connecting the signal sources to the AIN+ or AIN− inputs.
This removes the need for the user to provide a stabilized external bias reference.

provides the midscale 1-V bias for the AIN− input. Using the clamp to drive AIN− rather than connecting AIN−

Figure 37 shows a configuration using external ADC references for digitizing a dif ferential input with span 0.8 V.
To maximize the signal swing at the ADC core, the PGA gain is set to 2.5 to give a 2-Vp-p output from the PGA.
MODE is tied to ground to disable the internal reference buffer. The external ADC reference sources must set
REFT 1 V higher than REFB to set the ADC input span to 2 Vp-p, and the voltages provided by the external
sources must be centered near AVDD/2 for best ADC operation. REFSENSE is shown tied to AVDD to disable
the internal bandgap refence (A1), though other components in the system may use the VREF output if desired.
External ADC references are best suited to applications which require the tighter reference voltage tolerance
and temperature coefficient than the internal bandgap reference (A1) can provide, or where the references are
to be shared among several THS1041 ADCs for best matching of their ADC channels.

Figure 38. Schematic of Clamp Circuitry
The THS1041 provides a clamp function for restoring a dc reference level to the signal at AIN+ or AIN− which
has been lost through ac-coupling from the signal source to this pin.
Figure 38 and Figure 39 show an example of using the clamp to restore the black level of a composite video
input ac-coupled to AIN+. While the clamp pin is held high, the clamp amplifier forces the voltage at AIN+ to equal
the clamp reference voltage, setting the dc voltage at AIN+ for the video black level.
After power up, the clamp reference voltage is the voltage on the CLAMPIN pin. This reference can instead be
taken from the internal CLAMP DAC by suitably programming the THS1041 clamp and control registers.
Clamp acquisition and clamp droop design calculations are discussed later.

When using the internal clamp DAC, the user must ensure that the desired dc clamp level at AIN+/− lies within

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
power management
In power-sensitive applications (such as battery-powered systems) where the THS1041 ADC is not required
to convert continuously, power can be saved between conversion intervals by placing the THS1041 into
power-down mode. This is achieved by setting bit 3 (PWDN) of the control register to 1. In power-down mode,
the device typically consumes less than 0.1 mW. Power-down mode is exited by resetting control register bit
3 to 0. On power up, typical wake-up and power-up times apply. See power supply section.
In systems where the ADC must run continuously, but where the clamp is not required, the supply current can
be reduced by approximately 1.2 mA by setting the control register bit 6 (CLDIS) to 1, which disables the clamp
circuit. Similarly, when REFSENSE is tied to AVDD, the reference generator is disabled and supply current
reduced by approximately 1.2 mA.
output format and digital I/O
While the OE pin is held low , ADC conversion results are output at pins I/O0 (LSB) to I/O9 (MSB). The ADC input
over-range indicator is output at pin OVR. OVR is also disabled when OE is held high.
The default ADC output data format is unsigned binary (output codes 0 to 1023). The output format can be
switched to 2s complement (output codes −512 to 511) by setting control register bit 5 (TWOC) to 1.
writing to the internal registers through the digital I/O bus
Pulling pin OE high disables the I/O and OVR pin output drivers, placing the driver outputs in a high impedance
state. This allows control register data to be loaded into the THS1041 by presenting it on the I/O0 to I/O9 pins
and pulsing the WR pin high then low to latch the data into the chosen control or DAC register.
Figure 41 shows an example register write cycle where the clamp DAC code is set to 10F (hex) by writing to
clamp registers 1 and 2 (see the register map in Table 2). Pins I/O0 to I/O7 are driven to the clamp DAC code
lower byte (0F hex), and pins I/08 and I/O9 are both driven to 0 to select clamp register 1 as the data destination.
The clamp low-byte data is then loaded into this register by pulsing WR high. The top 2 bits of the DAC word
are then loaded by driving 01(hex) on pins I/O0 to I/O7 and by driving pin I/O8 to 1 and pin I/O9 to 0 to select
clamp register 2 as the data destination. WR is pulsed a second time to latch this second control word into clamp
register 2. Interface timing parameters are given in Figures 1 and 2.

digital control registers
The THS1041 contains two clamp registers and a control register for user programming of THS1041 operation.
Binary data can be written into these registers by using pins I/O0 to I/O9 and the WR and OE pins (see the
previous section). In input mode, the two I/O bus MSBs are address bits, 00 addressing clamp register 1, 01
clamp register 2, and 10 the control register. The clamp registers and control registers are write only registers,
and stored values cannot be read on the I/O data bus.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
driving the THS1041 analog inputs
driving the clock input
Obtaining good performance from the THS1041 requires care when driving the clock input.
Different sections of the sample-and-hold and ADC operate while the clock is low or high. The user should
ensure that the clock duty cycle remains near 50% to ensure that all internal circuits have as much time as
possible in which to operate.
The CLK pin should also be driven from a low jitter source for best dynamic performance. To maintain low jitter
at the CLK input, any clock buffers external to the THS1041 should have fast rising edges. Use a fast logic family
such as AC or ACT to drive the CLK pin, and consider powering any clock buffers separately from any other
logic on the PCB to prevent digital supply noise appearing on the buffered clock edges as jitter.
As the CLK input threshold is nominally around AVDD/2, any clock buffers need to have an appropriate supply
voltage to drive above and below this level.

Figure 42 shows an equivalent circuit for the THS1041 AIN+ and AIN− pins. The load presented to the system

The charging current pulses into AIN+ and AIN− can make the signal sources jump or ring, especially if the
sources are slightly inductive at high frequencies. Inserting a small series resistor of 20 or less and a small
capacitor to ground of 20 pF or less in the input path can damp source ringing (see Figure 44). The resistor and
capacitor values can be made larger than 20 and 20 pF if reduced input bandwidth and a slight gain error (due
to potential division between the external resistors and the AIN equivalent resistors) are acceptable.
Note that the capacitors should be soldered to a clean analog ground with a common ground point to prevent
any voltage drops in the ground plane appearing as a differential voltage at the ADC inputs.

designing the dc clamp
Figure 38 shows the basic operation of the clamp circuit with the analog input AIN+ coupled via an RC circuit.
AIN− must be connected to a dc source whose voltage level keeps the THS1041 dif ferential input within the ADC
input range. The clamp voltage output level may be established by an analog voltage on the CLAMPIN pin or
by programming the on-chip clamp DAC.
(Note that it is possible to reverse the AIN+ and AIN− connections if signal inversion is also required. The
following section assumes that the signal is coupled to AIN+ and that AIN− is connected to a suitable dc bias
level).
initial clamp acquisition time
Acquisition time is the time required to reach the target clamp voltage at AIN+ when the clamp switch SW1 is
closed for the first time. The acquisition time is given by
TACQ +CIN RlN ln ǒVC
VEǓ
where VC is the dif ference between the dc level of the input VIN and the target clamp output voltage, VClamp.
VE is the difference between the ideal VC and the actual VC obtained during the acquisition time. The maximum
tolerable error depends on the application requirements.
For example, consider clamping an incoming video signal that has a black level near 0.3 V to a black level of
1.3 V at the THS1041 AIN+ input. The voltage VC required across the input coupling capacitor is thus
1.3 − 0.3 = 1 V. If a 10 mV or less clamp voltage error VE gives acceptable system operation, the source
resistance RIN is 20 and the coupling capacitor CIN is 1 µF, then the total clamp pulse duration required to
reach this error is:
TACQ = 1 µF × 20 × ln(1/0.01) = 92 µs (approximate)

APPLICATION INFORMATION
initial clamp acquisition time (continued)
Initial acquisition can be performed in two ways:
DPulsing the CLAMP pin as in normal operation. Provided that clamp droop (see below) is negligible, initial
acquisition is complete when the total clamped (CLAMP = high) time equals TACQ.
DPulling the CLAMP pin high for the required acquisition time before starting normal operation. This method
is faster, though possibly less convenient for the user to implement.
clamp droop
The charging currents drawn by the sample-and-hold switched capacitor input can charge or discharge CIN,
causing the dc voltage at AIN+ to drift towards the dc bias voltage at AIN− during the time between clamp pulses.
This effect is called clamp droop.
Voltage droop is a function of the AIN+ and AIN− input currents to the THS1041, IIN, and the time between clamp
intervals, tD:
VDROOP [ǒIIN
CINǓ td(approximate)
Worst case droop between clamping intervals occurs for maximum input bias current. Maximum input current
is IINFS, which occurs when the input level is at its maximum or minimum.
For example, at 40 MSPS IINFS is approximately 20 µA for a 2-V input range at AIN (assuming 2 V appear across
RIN2—see driving the sample and hold reference inputs to calculate RIN2). Note that IINFS may vary from this
by ±30% because of processing variations and voltage dependencies. Designs should allow for this variation.
If the time td between clamping intervals is 63.5 µs and C IN is 1 µF, then the maximum clamp level droop between
clamp pulses is
VDROOP(max) +20 mAń1mF 63.5 ms+1.25 mV (approximate, ignoring 30% tolerance)
+0.62 LSB at PGA gain +1, 2 V ADC references
If this droop is greater than can be tolerated in the application, then increase CIN to slow the droop and hence
reduce the voltage change between clamp pulses.
If a high leakage capacitor is used for coupling the input source to the AIN pin then the droop may be significantly
worse than calculated above. Avoid using electrolytic and tantalum coupling capacitors as these have higher
leakage currents than nonpolarized capacitor types. Electrolytic and tantalum capacitors also tend to have
higher parasitic inductance, which can cause problems at high input frequencies.
steady-state clamp voltage error
During the clamp pulse (CLAMP = high), the dc voltage on AIN is refreshed from the clamp voltage. Provided
that droop is not excessive, clamping fully reverses the ef fect of droop. However, using very short clamp pulses
with long intervals between pulses (td) can result in a steady-state voltage difference, VCOS, between the dc
voltage at AIN and V(Clamp).
Figure 47 shows the approximate voltage waveform at AIN resulting from a a large clamp droop during td and
clamp voltage reacquisition during the clamp pulse time, tc.

Figure 47. Approximate Waveforms at AIN During Droop and Clamping
The voltage change at AIN during acquisition has been approximated as a linear charging ramp by assuming
that almost all of VCOS appears across RIN, giving a charging current VCOS/RIN (this is a reasonable
approximation when VCOS is large enough to be of concern). The voltage change at AIN during clamp
acquisition is then:
DVAIN +VCOS td
RIN CIN
The peak-to-peak voltage variation at AIN must equal the clamp droop voltage at steady state. Equating the
droop voltage to the clamp acquisition voltage change gives:
VCOS +RIN IIN td
tc
Thus for low offset voltage, keep RIN low, design for low droop and ensure that the ratio td/tc is not unreasonably
large.
reference decoupling
VREF pin
When the on-chip reference generator is enabled, the VREF pin should be decoupled to the circuit board’s
analog ground plane close to the THS1041 AGND pin via a 1-µF capacitor and a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor.
REFT and REFB pins
In any mode of operation, the REFT and REFB pins should be decoupled as shown in Figure 48. Use short
board traces between the THS1041 and the capacitors to minimize parasitic inductance.

CLAMPOUT decoupling (when used as dc bias source)
When using CLAMPOUT as a dc biasing reference (e.g., MODE = AVDD), the CLAMPOUT pin should be
decoupled to the circuit board’s analog ground plane close to the THS1041 AGND pin via a 1-µF capacitor and
a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor.
supply decoupling
The analog (AVDD, AGND) and digital (DVDD, DGND) power supplies to the THS1041 should be separately
decoupled for best performance. Each supply needs at least a 10-µF electrolytic or tantalum capacitor (as a
charge reservoir) and a 100-nF ceramic type capacitor placed as close as possible to the respective pins (to
suppress spikes and supply noise).
digital output loading and circuit board layout
The THS1041 outputs are capable of driving rail-to-rail with up to 10 pF of load per pin at 40-MHz clock frequency
and 3-V digital supply. Minimizing the load on the outputs improves THS1041 signal-to-noise performance by
reducing the switching noise coupling from the THS1041 output buffers to the internal analog circuits. The
output load capacitance can be minimized by buf fering the THS1041 digital outputs with a low input capacitance
buffer placed as close to the output pins as physically possible, and by using the shortest possible tracks
between the THS1041 and this buffer. Inserting small resistors in the range 100 to 300 between the
THS1041 I/O outputs and their loads can help minimize the output-related noise in noise-critical applications.
Noise levels at the output buf fers, which may af fect the analog circuits within THS1041, increase with the digital
supply voltage. Where possible, consider using the lowest DVDD that the application can tolerate.
Use good layout practices when designing the application PCB to ensure that any off-chip return currents from
the THS1041 digital outputs (and any other digital circuits on the PCB) do not return via the supplies to any
sensitive analog circuits. The THS1041 should be soldered directly to the PCB for best performance. Socketing
the device degrades performance by adding parasitic socket inductance and capacitance to all pins.
user tips for obtaining best performance from the THS1041
DChoose differential input mode for best distortion performance.
DChoose a 2-V ADC input span for best noise performance.
DChoose a 1-V ADC input span for best distortion performance.
DDrive the clock input CLK from a low-jitter, fast logic stage, with a well-decoupled power supply and short
PCB traces.
DUse a small RC filter (typically 20 and 20 pF) between the signal source(s) the AIN+ (and AIN−) input(s)
when the systems bandwidth requirements allow this.

definitions
DIntegral nonlinearity (INL)—Integral nonlinearity refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line
drawn from zero to full scale. The point used as zero occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. The
full-scale point is defined as a level 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from
the center of each particular code to the true straight line between these two endpoints.
DDifferential nonlinearity (DNL)—An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB apart. DNL
is the deviation from this ideal value. Therefore this measure indicates how uniform the transfer function
step sizes are. The ideal step size is defined here as the step size for the device under test (i.e., (last
transition level – first transition level) ÷ (2n – 2)). Using this definition for DNL separates the effects of gain
and offset error. A minimum DNL better than –1 LSB ensures no missing codes.
DZero-error—Zero-error is defined as the dif ference in analog input voltage—between the ideal voltage and
the actual voltage—that switches the ADC output from code 0 to code 1. The ideal voltage level is
determined by adding the voltage corresponding to 1/2 LSB to the bottom reference level. The voltage
corresponding to 1 LSB is found from the difference of top and bottom references divided by the number
of ADC output levels (1024).
DFull-scale error—Full-scale error is defined as the difference in analog input voltage—between the ideal
voltage and the actual voltage—that will switch the ADC output from code 1022 to code 1023. The ideal
voltage level is determined by subtracting the voltage corresponding to 1.5 LSB from the top reference level.
The voltage corresponding to 1 LSB is found from the difference of top and bottom references divided by
the number of ADC output levels (1024).
DWake-up time—Wake-up time is from the power-down state to accurate ADC samples being taken and is
specified for MODE = AGND with external reference sources applied to the device at the time of release
of power-down, and an applied 40-MHz clock. Circuits that need to power up are the bandgap, bias
generator, SHPGA, and ADC.
DPower-up time—Power-up time is from the power-down state to accurate ADC samples being taken and
is specified for MODE = AVDD/2 or AVDD and an applied 40-MHz clock. Circuits that need to power up
include VREF reference generation (A1), bias generator, ADC, the SHPGA, and the on-chip ADC reference
generator (A2).

the analog input is sampled.

that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which
have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such
components to meet such requirements.
