DESCRIPTION
The ADS5203 is a dual 10-bit, 40MSPS Analog-to-Digi-
tal Converter (ADC). It simultaneously converts each
analog input signal into a 10-bit, binary coded digital
word up to a maximum sampling rate of 40MSPS per
channel. All digital inputs and outputs are 3.3V
TTL/CMOS compatible.
An innovative dual-pipeline architecture implemented i n
a CMOS process and the 3.3V supply results in very low
power dissipation. In order to provide maximum flexibil-
ity, both top and bottom voltage references can be set
from user-supplied voltages. Alternatively, i f no external
references are available, the on-chip internal refer-
ences can be used. Both ADCs share a common refer-
ence to improve offset and gain matching. If external
reference voltage levels are available, the internal refer-
ences can be powered down independently from the
rest of the chip, resulting in even greater power savings.
The ADS5203 is characterized for operation from
–40°C to +85°C and is available in a TQFP-48 package.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas Instruments
semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by
ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that
all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper
handling and installation procedures can cause
damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance
degradation to complete device failure. Precision
integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage
because very small parametric changes could cause
the device not to meet its published specifications.

(1) 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 ½LSB
before the first code transition. The full-scale point is defined as a level ½LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from
the center of each particular code to the best-fit line between these two endpoints.
(2) An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1LSB 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
1LSB ensures no missing codes.
(3) Zero error is defined as the difference in analog input voltagebetween the ideal voltage and the actual voltagethat will switch the ADC output
from code 0 to code 1. The ideal voltage level is determined by adding the voltage corresponding to ½LSB to the bottom reference level. The
voltage corresponding to 1LSB is found from the dif ference of top and bottom references divided by the number of ADC output levels (1024).
Full-scale error is defined as the difference in analog input voltagebetween the ideal voltage and the actual voltagethat will switch the ADC
output from code 1022 to code 1023. The ideal voltage level is determined by subtracting the voltage corresponding to 1.5LSB from the top
reference level. The voltage corresponding to 1LSB is found from the difference of top and bottom references divided by the number of ADC
output levels (1024).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The ADS5203 implements a dual high-speed, 10-bit,
40MSPS converter in a cost-effective CMOS process.
The differential inputs on each channel are sampled
simultaneously. Signal inputs are differential and the
clock signal is single-ended. The clock signal is either
80MHz or 40MHz, depending on the device
configuration set by the user. Powered from 3.3V, the
dual-pipeline design architecture ensures low-power
operation and 10-bit resolution. The digital inputs are
3.3V TTL/CMOS compatible. Internal voltage
references are included for both bottom and top
voltages. Alternatively, the user may apply externally
generated reference voltages. In doing so, the input
range can be modified to suit the application.
The ADC is a 5-stage pipelined ADC with 4 stages of
fully-differential switched capacitor sub-ADC/MDAC
pairs and a single sub-ADC in stage 5. All stages deliver
2 bits of the final conversion result. A digital error
correction is used to compensate for modest
comparator offsets in the sub-ADCs.
SAMPLE-AND-HOLD AMPLIFIER
Figure 5 shows the internal SHA architecture. The
circuit is balanced and fully differential for good supply
noise rejection. The sampling circuit has been kept as
simple as possible to obtain good performance for
high-frequency input signals.
Figure 5. SHA Architecture.
The analog input signal is sampled on capacitors CSP
and CSN while the internal device clock is low. The
sampled voltage is transferred to capacitors CHP and
CHN and held on these while the internal device clock
is high. The SHA can sample both single-ended and
differential input signals.
The load presented to the AIN pin consists of the
switched input sampling capacitor CS (approximately
2pF) and its various stray capacitances. A simplified
equivalent circuit for the switched capacitor input is
shown in Figure 6. The switched capacitor circuit is
modeled a s a r e s i s t o r R IN. fCLK is the clock frequency,
which is 40MHz at full speed, and CS is the sampling
capacitor. Using 25 series resistors and a differential
15pF capacitor at the A/B+ and A/B inputs is
recommended to reduce noise.
NOTE: AIN can be any variation
of A or B inputs.
VCM = 0.5 S (V(A/B+) + V(A/B))
VCM
fCLK = 40MHz
Figure 6. Equivalent Circuit for the Switched
Capacitor Input.
ANALOG INPUT, DIFFERENTIAL
CONNECTION
The analog input of the ADS5203 is a differential
architecture that can be configured in various ways
depending on the signal source and the required level
of performance. A fully differential connection will
deliver the best performance from the converter. The
analog inputs must not go below AVSS or above AVDD.
The inputs can be biased with any common-mode
voltage provided that the minimum and maximum input
voltages stay within the range AVSS to AVDD. It is
recommended to bias the inputs with a common-mode
voltage around AVDD/2. This can be accomplished
easily with the output voltage source CML, which is
equal to AVDD/2. CML is made available to the user to
help simplify circuit design. This output voltage source
is not designed to be a reference or to be loaded but
makes an excellent DC bias source and stays well
within the analog input common-mode voltage range
over temperature.

DCCOUPLED DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG
INPUT CIRCUIT
Driving the analog input differentially can be achieved
in various ways. Figure 7 gives an example where a
single-ended signal is converted into a di fferential signal
by using a fully differential amplifier such as the
THS4141. The input voltage applied to VOCM of the
THS4141 shifts the output signal into the desired
common-mode level. VOCM can be connected to CML
of the ADS5203, the common-mode level is shifted to
AVDD/2.

ACCOUPLED DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG

Driving the analog input differentially can be achieved by
using a transformer-coupling, as illustrated in Figure 8.

ANALOG INPUT, SINGLEENDED
CONFIGURATION
For a single-ended configuration, the input signal is
applied to only one of the two inputs. The signal applied
to the analog input must not go below AVSS or above
AVDD. The inputs can b e b iased with any c ommon-mode
voltage provided that the minimum and maximum input
voltage stays within the range AVSS to AVDD. It is
recommended to bias the inputs with a common-mode
voltage around AVDD/2. This can be accomplished easily
with the output voltage source CML, which is equal to
AVDD/2. An example for this is shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9. ACCoupled, Single-Ended Configuration.
The signal amplitude to achieve full scale is 2Vp-p. The
signal, which is applied at A/B+ is centered at the bias
voltage. The input A/B is also centered at the bias
voltage. The CML output is connected via a 4.7k
resistor to bias the input signal. There is a direct
DC-coupling from CML to A/B while this input is
AC-decoupled through the 10µF and 0.1µF capacitors.
The decoupling minimizes the coupling of A/B+ into the
A/B path.

REFERENCE TERMINALS
The ADS5203s input range is determined by the voltages
on its REF B and REF T pins. The ADS5203 has an int er -
nal voltage reference generator that sets the ADC refer-
ence voltages REFB = 1V and REFT = 2V. The internal
ADC references must be decoupled to the PCB AVSS
plane. The recommended decoupling scheme is shown
in Figure 10. The internal reference voltages common-
mode voltage is 1. 5V.
Figure 10. Recommended External Decoupling for
the Internal ADC Reference.
External ADC references can also be chosen. The
ADS5203 internal references must be disabled by tying
PWDN_REF HIGH before applying the external
reference sources to the REFT and REFB pins. The
external reference voltages common-mode voltage
should be 1.5V for best ADC perform ance.
Figure 11. External ADC Reference Configuration.
DIGITAL INP UTS
Digital inputs a re C LK, STDBY, P WDN_REF, OE, MODE,
and SE LB . Thes e input s dont have a pull-down resistor
to ground, theref ore, they should not be lef t floating.
The C LK signal a t h igh frequencies should b e considered
as an analog input. CLK should be referenced to AVDD
and AVSS to reduce noise coupling from the digital logic.
Overshoot/undershoot should be minimized by proper
termination of the signal close to the ADS5203. An
important cause of performance degradation for a
high-speed ADC is clock jitter. Clock jitter causes
uncertainty i n the s ampling instant of the ADC, in a ddition
to t he inherent u ncertainty on t he s ampling instant caused
by the part it self, as specified by its aperture jitter. There
is a theor et ical relations hip between the fr equency f and
resolution (2N) of a signal that needs to be sampled on
one hand, and on the other hand the maximum amount
of aperture error dtmax that is tolerable. It is given by the
following relation:dtmax = 1/[π f 2(N+1)]
As an e xample, for a 10-bit converter with a 2 0MHz input,
the jitter needs to be kept less than 7.8ps in order not to
have changes in the LS B of the ADC output due to the
total aperture error.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The output of ADS5203 is an unsigned binary code.
Capacitive l oading on the o utput should be kept a s low a s
possible (a maxim um loading of 10pF is recom m ended)
to ensure best performance. Higher output loading
causes higher dynamic output currents and can,
theref ore, increase noise coupling into the parts analog
front end. To d rive higher l oads, t he u se of a n o utput buffer
is rec omm ended.
When clocking output data f rom ADS5203, it is important
to ob s er ve its timin g r e l a ti o n to COUT. Please refer to the
timing section for detailed information on the pipeline
latency in the different modes.
For s afest system timing, COUT and COUT s hould be u sed
to latch the output data, (see Figures 1 to 4). In Figure 4,
COUT can be used by the receiving device to identify
whether the data presently on the bus is from channel A
or B.
LAYOUT, DECOUPLING , AND GROUNDING
RULES
Proper grounding and layout of the PCB on which the
ADS5203 is populat ed is ess ent ial to achieve the stated
performance. It is advised to use separate analog and
digital ground planes that ar e spliced underneath the IC.
The ADS5203 has digital and analog pins on opposite
sides of the package to make this easier. Since there is
no connection internally between analog and digital
grounds, they have to be joined on t he PCB. It is a dvised
to do this at one point in close proximity to the ADS5203.

As for power supplies, separate analog and digital
supply pins are provided on the part (AVDD/DVDD). The
supply to the digital output drivers is kept separate as
well (DRVDD). Lowering the voltage on this supply to
3.0V in s t ead of the nominal 3.3V improves performance
because of the lower switching noise caused by the
output buffers.
Due to the high sampling rate and switched-capacitor
architecture, the ADS5203 generates transients on the
supply and reference lines. Proper decoupling of these
lines is, therefore, essential.
NOTES
1. Integral 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 ½LSB before the first code transition. The
full-scale point is defined as a level ½LSB beyond the
last code transition. The deviation is measured from t h e
center of each particular code to the true straight line
between these two endpoints.
2. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)An ideal ADC
exhibits code t ransitions that a re e xactly 1LSB a part. 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 tes t (i.e. , (las t trans ition lev el
first transition level)/(2n 2 )). Using this d efinition for DNL
separates the effects of gain and offset err or.
A minimum DNL better than 1LSB ensures no missing
codes.
3. Zero and Full-Scale ErrorZero error is defined as
the difference in analog input voltagebetween the
ideal voltage and the actual voltagethat will switch the
ADC output from code 0 to code 1. The ideal voltage
level i s d e t e r m i ned by adding the voltage corresponding
to ½LSB to the bottom reference level. The voltage
corresponding to 1LSB is found from the difference of
top and bottom references divided by the number of
ADC output levels (1024).
Full-scale error is defined as the difference in analog
input vo l t a g e between the ideal voltage and the actual
voltagethat will switch the ADC output from code
1022 to code 1023. The ideal voltage level is
determined by subtracting the voltage corresponding to
1.5LSB from the top reference level. The voltage
corresponding to 1LSB is found from the difference of
top and bottom references divided by the number of
ADC output levels (1024).
4. Analog Input BandwidthThe analog input
bandwidth i s defined as the max. frequency of a 1dBFS
input sine that can be applied to the device for which an
extra 3dB attenuation is observed in the reconstructed
output signal.
5. Output TimingOutput timing td(o) is measured
from the 1.5V level of the CLK input falling edge to the
10%/90% level of the digital output. The digital output
load is not higher than 10pF.
Output hold time th(o) is measured from the 1.5V level
of the COUT input rising edge to the 10%/90% level of
the digital output. The digital output is load is not less
than 2pF. Aperture delay td(A) is measured from the
1.5V level of the CLK input to the actual sampling
instant.
The OE signal is asynchronous. OE timing tdis is
measured from the VIH(MIN) level of OE to the
high-impedance state of the output data. The digital
output load is not higher than 10pF. OE timing ten is
measured from the VIL(MAX) level of OE to the instant
when the output data reaches VOH(min) or VOL(max)
output levels. The digital output load is not higher than
10pF.
6. Pipeline Delay (latency)The number of clock
cycles be t ween conversion initiation on an input sample
and the corresponding output data being made
available from the ADC pipeline. Once the data pipeline
is full, new valid output data is provided on every clock
cycle. The first valid data is available on the output pins
after the latency time plus the output delay time td(o)
through the digital output buf fers. Note that a minimum
td(o) is not guaranteed because data can transition
before or after a CLK edge. It is possible to use CLK for
latching data, but at the risk of the prop delay varying
over temperature, causing data to transition one CLK
cycle earlier or later. The recommended method is to
use the latch signals COUT and COUT which are
designed to provide reliable setup and hold times with
respect to the data out.
7. Wake-Up TimeWake-up time is from the
power-down state to accurate ADC samples being
taken, and is specified for external reference sources
applied t o the device and an 80MHz clock applied at the
time of release of STDBY. Cells that need to power up
are the bandgap, bias generator, SHAs, and ADCs.
8. Power-Up TimePower-up time is from the
power-down state to accurate ADC samples being
taken with an 80MHz clock applied at the time of release
of STDBY. Cells that need to power up are the bandgap,
internal reference circuit, bias generator, SHAs, and
ADCs.
