Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion Ratio The signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio [S/(N + D)] is the ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency components at the ADC output. The output is band limited to frequencies above DC to below half the sampling frequency. Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) Signal-to-Noise Ratio Input Bandwidth The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency components except the first five harmonics and DC. The input bandwidth is that input frequency at which the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by 3dB for a full scale input signal. Spurious free dynamic range is the peak harmonic or spurious noise that is the largest spectral component excluding the input signal and DC. This value is expressed in decibels relative to the RMS value of a full scale input signal. Aperture Delay Time Total Harmonic Distortion Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the RMS sum of all harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself. The out-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency band between DC and half the sampling frequency. THD is expressed as: THD = 20Log ((V22 + V32 + V42 + . . . Vn2)/V1) where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental frequency and V2 through Vn are the amplitudes of the second through nth harmonics. The THD calculated in this data sheet uses all the harmonics up to the fifth. Intermodulation Distortion If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can produce intermodulation distortion (IMD) in addition to THD. IMD is the change in one sinusoidal input caused by the presence of another sinusoidal input at a different frequency. If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are applied to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer function can create distortion products at the sum and difference frequencies of mfa nfb, where m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. The 3rd order intermodulation products are 2fa + fb, 2fb + fa, 2fa - fb and 2fb - fa. The intermodulation distortion is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of either The time from when CLK reaches mid-supply to the instant that the input signal is held by the sample and hold circuit. Aperture Delay Jitter The variation in the aperture delay time from conversion to conversion. This random variation will result in noise when sampling an AC input. The signal to noise ratio due to the jitter alone will be: SNRJITTER = -20log (2 * fIN * tJITTER) CONVERTER OPERATION As shown in Figure 1, the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 is a CMOS pipelined multistep converter. The converter has six pipelined ADC stages; a sampled analog input will result in a digitized value five cycles later (see the Timing Diagram section). For optimal AC performance the analog inputs should be driven differentially. For cost sensitive applications, the analog inputs can be driven single-ended with slightly worse harmonic distortion. The CLK input is single-ended. The LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 has two phases of operation, determined by the state of the CLK input pin. Each pipelined stage shown in Figure 1 contains an ADC, a reconstruction DAC and an interstage residue amplifier. In operation, the ADC quantizes the input to the stage and the quantized value is subtracted from the input by the 224876fa 13 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO DAC to produce a residue. The residue is amplified and output by the residue amplifier. Successive stages operate out of phase so that when the odd stages are outputting their residue, the even stages are acquiring that residue and vice versa. When CLK is low, the analog input is sampled differentially directly onto the input sample-and-hold capacitors, inside the "Input S/H" shown in the block diagram. At the instant that CLK transitions from low to high, the sampled input is held. While CLK is high, the held input voltage is buffered by the S/H amplifier which drives the first pipelined ADC stage. The first stage acquires the output of the S/H during this high phase of CLK. When CLK goes back low, the first stage produces its residue which is acquired by the second stage. At the same time, the input S/H goes back to acquiring the analog input. When CLK goes back high, the second stage produces its residue which is acquired by the third stage. An identical process is repeated for the third, fourth and fifth stages, resulting in a fifth stage residue that is sent to the sixth stage ADC for final evaluation. Each ADC stage following the first has additional range to accommodate flash and amplifier offset errors. Results from all of the ADC stages are digitally synchronized such that the results can be properly combined in the correction logic before being sent to the output buffer. SAMPLE/HOLD OPERATION AND INPUT DRIVE Sample/Hold Operation Figure 2 shows an equivalent circuit for the LTC2248/ LTC2247/LTC2246 CMOS differential sample-and-hold. The analog inputs are connected to the sampling capacitors (CSAMPLE) through NMOS transistors. The capacitors shown attached to each input (CPARASITIC) are the summation of all other capacitance associated with each input. During the sample phase when CLK is low, the transistors connect the analog inputs to the sampling capacitors and they charge to and track the differential input voltage. When CLK transitions from low to high, the sampled input voltage is held on the sampling capacitors. During the hold phase when CLK is high, the sampling capacitors are disconnected from the input and the held voltage is passed to the ADC core for processing. As CLK transitions from high to low, the inputs are reconnected to the sampling capacitors to acquire a new sample. Since the sampling capacitors still hold the previous sample, a charging glitch proportional to the change in voltage between samples will be seen at this time. If the change between the last sample and the new sample is small, the charging glitch seen at the input will be small. If the input change is large, such as the change seen with input frequencies near Nyquist, then a larger charging glitch will be seen. Single-Ended Input For cost sensitive applications, the analog inputs can be driven single-ended. With a single-ended input the harmonic distortion and INL will degrade, but the SNR and DNL will remain unchanged. For a single-ended input, AIN+ should be driven with the input signal and AIN- should be connected to 1.5V or VCM. Common Mode Bias For optimal performance the analog inputs should be driven differentially. Each input should swing 0.5V for the 2V range or 0.25V for the 1V range, around a common mode voltage of 1.5V. The VCM output pin (Pin 31) may be used to provide the common mode bias level. VCM can be tied directly to the center tap of a transformer to set the DC input level or as a reference level to an op amp differential driver circuit. The VCM pin must be bypassed to ground close to the ADC with a 2.2F or greater capacitor.

Equivalent Input Circuit 224876fa 14 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Input Drive Impedance As with all high performance, high speed ADCs, the dynamic performance of the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 can be influenced by the input drive circuitry, particularly the second and third harmonics. Source impedance and reactance can influence SFDR. At the falling edge of CLK, the sample-and-hold circuit will connect the 4pF sampling capacitor to the input pin and start the sampling period. The sampling period ends when CLK rises, holding the sampled input on the sampling capacitor. Ideally the input circuitry should be fast enough to fully charge the sampling capacitor during the sampling period 1/(2FENCODE); however, this is not always possible and the incomplete settling may degrade the SFDR. The sampling glitch has been designed to be as linear as possible to minimize the effects of incomplete settling. For the best performance, it is recommended to have a source impedance of 100 or less for each input. The source impedance should be matched for the differential inputs.

Differential Drive with an Amplifier Input Drive Circuits Figure 3 shows the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 being driven by an RF transformer with a center tapped secondary. The secondary center tap is DC biased with VCM, setting the ADC input signal at its optimum DC level. Terminating on the transformer secondary is desirable, as this provides a common mode path for charging glitches caused by the sample and hold. Figure 3 shows a 1:1 turns ratio transformer. Other turns ratios can be used if the source impedance seen by the ADC does not exceed 100 for each ADC input. A disadvantage of using a transformer is the loss of low frequency response. Most small RF transformers have poor performance at frequencies below 1MHz. Figure 4 demonstrates the use of a differential amplifier to convert a single ended input signal into a differential input signal. The advantage of this method is that it provides low frequency input response; however, the limited gain bandwidth of most op amps will limit the SFDR at high input frequencies.

The 25 resistors and 12pF capacitor on the analog inputs serve two purposes: isolating the drive circuitry from the sample-and-hold charging glitches and limiting the wideband noise at the converter input. 224876fa 15 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO For input frequencies above 70MHz, the input circuits of Figure 6, 7 and 8 are recommended.

The internal voltage reference can be configured for two pin selectable input ranges of 2V (1V differential) or 1V (0.5V differential). Tying the SENSE pin to VDD selects the 2V range; tying the SENSE pin to VCM selects the 1V range. The 1.5V bandgap reference serves two functions: its output provides a DC bias point for setting the common mode voltage of any external input circuitry; additionally, the reference is used with a difference amplifier to generate the differential reference levels needed by the internal ADC circuitry. An external bypass capacitor is required for the 1.5V reference output, VCM. This provides a high frequency low impedance path to ground for internal and external circuitry. The difference amplifier generates the high and low reference for the ADC. High speed switching circuits are connected to these outputs and they must be externally bypassed. Each output has two pins.

Bypass capacitors must be connected as shown in Figure 9. a low-jitter squaring circuit before the CLK pin (see Figure 11). Other voltage ranges in-between the pin selectable ranges can be programmed with two external resistors as shown in Figure 10. An external reference can be used by applying its output directly or through a resistor divider to SENSE. It is not recommended to drive the SENSE pin with a logic device. The SENSE pin should be tied to the appropriate level as close to the converter as possible. If the SENSE pin is driven externally, it should be bypassed to ground as close to the device as possible with a 1F ceramic capacitor. The noise performance of the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 can depend on the clock signal quality as much as on the analog input. Any noise present on the clock signal will result in additional aperture jitter that will be RMS summed with the inherent ADC aperture jitter. Input Range The input range can be set based on the application. The 2V input range will provide the best signal-to-noise performance while maintaining excellent SFDR. The 1V input range will have better SFDR performance, but the SNR will degrade by 5.8dB. See the Typical Performance Characteristics section. In applications where jitter is critical, such as when digitizing high input frequencies, use as large an amplitude as possible. Also, if the ADC is clocked with a sinusoidal signal, filter the CLK signal to reduce wideband noise and distortion products generated by the source. Figures 12 and 13 show alternatives for converting a differential clock to the single-ended CLK input. The use of a transformer provides no incremental contribution to phase noise. The LVDS or PECL to CMOS translators provide little degradation below 70MHz, but at 140MHz will degrade the SNR compared to the transformer solution.

For high crest factor signals such as WCDMA or OFDM, where the nominal power level must be at least 6dB to 8dB below full scale, the use of these translators will have a lesser impact. storing analog signals on small valued capacitors. Junction leakage will discharge the capacitors. The specified minimum operating frequency for the LTC2248/LTC2247/ LTC2246 is 1Msps. The transformer in the example may be terminated with the appropriate termination for the signaling in use. The use of a transformer with a 1:4 impedance ratio may be desirable in cases where lower voltage differential signals are considered. The center tap may be bypassed to ground through a capacitor close to the ADC if the differential signals originate on a different plane. The use of a capacitor at the input may result in peaking, and depending on transmission line length may require a 10 to 20 ohm series resistor to act as both a low pass filter for high frequency noise that may be induced into the clock line by neighboring digital signals, as well as a damping mechanism for reflections. DIGITAL OUTPUTS Maximum and Minimum Conversion Rates The maximum conversion rate for the LTC2248/LTC2247/ LTC2246 is 65Msps (LTC2248), 40Msps (LTC2247), and 25Msps (LTC2246). For the ADC to operate properly, the CLK signal should have a 50% (5%) duty cycle. Each half cycle must have at least 7.3ns (LTC2248), 11.8ns (LTC2247), and 18.9ns (LTC2246) for the ADC internal circuitry to have enough settling time for proper operation. An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit can be used if the input clock has a non 50% duty cycle. This circuit uses the rising edge of the CLK pin to sample the analog input. The falling edge of CLK is ignored and the internal falling edge is generated by a phase-locked loop. The input clock duty cycle can vary from 40% to 60% and the clock duty cycle stabilizer will maintain a constant 50% internal duty cycle. If the clock is turned off for a long period of time, the duty cycle stabilizer circuit will require a hundred clock cycles for the PLL to lock onto the input clock. To use the clock duty cycle stabilizer, the MODE pin should be connected to 1/3VDD or 2/3VDD using external resistors. The lower limit of the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 sample rate is determined by droop of the sample-and-hold circuits. The pipelined architecture of this ADC relies on Table 1 shows the relationship between the analog input voltage, the digital data bits, and the overflow bit. Table 1.

Each buffer is powered by OVDD and OGND, isolated from the ADC power and ground. The additional N-channel transistor in the output driver allows operation down to low voltages. The internal resistor in series with the output makes the output appear as 50 to external circuitry and may eliminate the need for external damping resistors.

Digital Output Buffer 224876fa 18 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO As with all high speed/high resolution converters, the digital output loading can affect the performance. The digital outputs of the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 should drive a minimal capacitive load to avoid possible interaction between the digital outputs and sensitive input circuitry. The output should be buffered with a device such as an ALVCH16373 CMOS latch. For full speed operation the capacitive load should be kept under 10pF. Lower OVDD voltages will also help reduce interference from the digital outputs. Data Format Output Driver Power Separate output power and ground pins allow the output drivers to be isolated from the analog circuitry. The power supply for the digital output buffers, OVDD, should be tied to the same power supply as for the logic being driven. For example if the converter is driving a DSP powered by a 1.8V supply, then OVDD should be tied to that same 1.8V supply. OVDD can be powered with any voltage from 500mV up to 3.6V. OGND can be powered with any voltage from GND up to 1V and must be less than OVDD. The logic outputs will swing between OGND and OVDD. Using the MODE pin, the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 parallel digital output can be selected for offset binary or 2's complement format. Connecting MODE to GND or 1/3VDD selects offset binary output format. Connecting MODE to 2/3VDD or VDD selects 2's complement output format. An external resistor divider can be used to set the 1/3VDD or 2/3VDD logic values. Table 2 shows the logic states for the MODE pin. Output Enable Table 2.

The outputs may be disabled with the output enable pin, OE. OE high disables all data outputs including OF. The data access and bus relinquish times are too slow to allow the outputs to be enabled and disabled during full speed operation. The output Hi-Z state is intended for use during long periods of inactivity. The converter may be placed in shutdown or nap modes to conserve power. Connecting SHDN to GND results in normal operation. Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE to VDD results in sleep mode, which powers down all circuitry including the reference and typically dissipates 1mW. When exiting sleep mode it will take milliseconds for the output data to become valid because the reference capacitors have to recharge and stabilize. Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE to GND results in nap mode, which typically dissipates 15mW. In nap mode, the on-chip reference circuit is kept on, so that recovery from nap mode is faster than that from sleep mode, typically taking 100 clock cycles. In both sleep and nap modes, all digital outputs are disabled and enter the Hi-Z state. 224876fa 19 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Grounding and Bypassing The LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 requires a printed circuit board with a clean, unbroken ground plane. A multilayer board with an internal ground plane is recommended. Layout for the printed circuit board should ensure that digital and analog signal lines are separated as much as possible. In particular, care should be taken not to run any digital track alongside an analog signal track or underneath the ADC. High quality ceramic bypass capacitors should be used at the VDD, OVDD, VCM, REFH, and REFL pins. Bypass capacitors must be located as close to the pins as possible. Of particular importance is the 0.1F capacitor between REFH and REFL. This capacitor should be placed as close to the device as possible (1.5mm or less). A size 0402 ceramic capacitor is recommended. The large 2.2F capacitor between REFH and REFL can be somewhat further away. The traces connecting the pins and bypass capacitors must be kept short and should be made as wide as possible. The LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 differential inputs should run parallel and close to each other. The input traces should be as short as possible to minimize capacitance and to minimize noise pickup. Heat Transfer Most of the heat generated by the LTC2248/LTC2247/ LTC2246 is transferred from the die through the bottomside exposed pad and package leads onto the printed circuit board. For good electrical and thermal performance, the exposed pad should be soldered to a large grounded pad on the PC board. It is critical that all ground pins are connected to a ground plane of sufficient area. Clock Sources for Undersampling Undersampling raises the bar on the clock source and the higher the input frequency, the greater the sensitivity to clock jitter or phase noise. A clock source that degrades SNR of a full-scale signal by 1dB at 70MHz will degrade SNR by 3dB at 140MHz, and 4.5dB at 190MHz. In cases where absolute clock frequency accuracy is relatively unimportant and only a single ADC is required, a 3V canned oscillator from vendors such as Saronix or Vectron can be placed close to the ADC and simply connected directly to the ADC. If there is any distance to the ADC, some source termination to reduce ringing that may occur even over a fraction of an inch is advisable. You must not allow the clock to overshoot the supplies or performance will suffer. Do not filter the clock signal with a narrow band filter unless you have a sinusoidal clock source, as the rise and fall time artifacts present in typical digital clock signals will be translated into phase noise. The lowest phase noise oscillators have single-ended sinusoidal outputs, and for these devices the use of a filter close to the ADC may be beneficial. This filter should be close to the ADC to both reduce roundtrip reflection times, as well as reduce the susceptibility of the traces between the filter and the ADC. If you are sensitive to close-in phase noise, the power supply for oscillators and any buffers must be very stable, or propagation delay variation with supply will translate into phase noise. Even though these clock sources may be regarded as digital devices, do not operate them on a digital supply. If your clock is also used to drive digital devices such as an FPGA, you should locate the oscillator, and any clock fan-out devices close to the ADC, and give the routing to the ADC precedence. The clock signals to the FPGA should have series termination at the driver to prevent high frequency noise from the FPGA disturbing the substrate of the clock fan-out device. If you use an FPGA as a programmable divider, you must re-time the signal using the original oscillator, and the retiming flip-flop as well as the oscillator should be close to the ADC, and powered with a very quiet supply. For cases where there are multiple ADCs, or where the clock source originates some distance away, differential clock distribution is advisable. This is advisable both from the perspective of EMI, but also to avoid receiving noise from digital sources both radiated, as well as propagated in the waveguides that exist between the layers of multilayer PCBs. The differential pairs must be close together and distanced from other signals. The differential pair should be guarded on both sides with copper distanced at least 3x the distance between the traces, and grounded with vias no more than 1/4 inch apart. 224876fa 20 J3 CLOCK INPUT R8 49.9 C12 0.1F VDD E1 EXT REF VCM VDD R9 1k R7 1k L1 BEAD NC7SVU04 VCM VDD 4 2 EXT 5 REF 6 3 1 JP3 SENSE 4 * C19 0.1F R10 33 VDD GND R16 1k R15 1k R14 1k VDD 1/3VDD 2/3VDD VDD 6 4 2 GND C15 2.2F VDD 7 GND 8 5 3 1 C8 0.1F C2 8.2pF C11 0.1F VDD JP4 MODE JP2 OE C7 2.2F R6 12.4 VDD C4 0.1F R4 24.9 R3 24.9 R2 12.4 C14 0.1F VCM VDD VDD C9 1F C6 1F JP1 SHDN R5 50 *3 2 T1 ETC1-1T 5 1 C13 0.1F C3 0.1F VCM C1 0.1F C10 0.1F C5 4.7F 6.3V NC7SVU04 R1 OPT C20 0.1F 29 30 31 32 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 REFL C26 10F 6.3V MODE D4 OVDD OF D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 R18 100k R17 105k OGND 33 GND SENSE VCM VDD OE SHDN CLK GND VDD REFL D3 D1 D2 AIN- REFH REFH D0 AIN+ LTC2248/LTC2247/ LTC2246 LT1763 C16 0.1F VCC 39 VCC OE1 VDD C28 1F VCC 28 7 4 10 18 15 21 31 E3 GND C18 0.1F C25 4.7F E4 PWR GND E2 VDD 3V 5 6 8 7 C17 0.1F 24LC025 1 VCC A0 2 WP A1 3 A2 SCL 4 A3 SDA RN4A 33 RN4B 33 RN4C 33 RN4D 33 RN3A 33 RN3B 33 RN3C 33 RN3D 33 RN2A 33 RN2B 33 RN2C 33 RN2D 33 RN1A 33 RN1B 33 RN1C 33 RN1D 33 VDD 2 O0 3 O1 5 O2 6 O3 8 O4 9 O5 11 O6 12 O7 13 O8 14 O9 16 O10 17 O11 19 O12 20 O13 22 O14 23 O15 GND GND LE1 VCC LE2 OE2 GND GND VCC GND VCC GND GND GND 74VCX16373MTD 47 I0 46 I1 44 I2 43 I3 41 I4 40 I5 38 I6 37 I7 36 I8 35 I9 33 I10 32 I11 30 I12 29 I13 27 I14 26 I15 1 24 48 25 42 NC7SV86P5X 1 8 IN OUT 2 7 ADJ GND 3 6 GND GND 4 5 BYP SHDN VCC C27 0.01F 20 21 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 34 45 VCC C21 0.1F R11 10k R12 10k C22 0.1F VCC R13 10k C23 0.1F 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 40 38 22554 TA02 C24 0.1F 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 40 3201S-40G1 39 39 37 37 35 35 33 33 31 31 29 29 27 27 25 25 23 23 21 21 19 19 17 17 15 15 13 13 11 11 9 9 7 7 5 5 3 3 1 1 U U W J1 ANALOG INPUT VCC APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO U Evaluation Circuit Schematic of the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 224876fa 21 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Silkscreen Top Topside Inner Layer 2 GND Inner Layer 3 Power 224876fa 22 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 U U W U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Bottomside Silkscreen Bottom U PACKAGE DESCRIPTIO UH Package 32-Lead Plastic QFN (5mm x 5mm) (Reference LTC DWG # 05-08-1693) BOTTOM VIEW--EXPOSED PAD 5.00 0.10 (4 SIDES) 0.70 0.05 0.23 TYP (4 SIDES) R = 0.115 TYP 0.75 0.05 0.00 - 0.05 31 32 PIN 1 TOP MARK (NOTE 6) 1 2 5.50 0.05 4.10 0.05 3.45 0.05 (4 SIDES) 3.45 0.10 (4-SIDES) PACKAGE OUTLINE 0.40 0.10 0.25 0.05 0.50 BSC RECOMMENDED SOLDER PAD LAYOUT 0.200 REF NOTE: 1.
