DESCRIPTION
The THS10082 is a CMOS, low-power, 10-bit, 8 MSPS
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The speed, resolution,
bandwidth, and single-supply operation are suited for
applications in radar, imaging, high-speed acquisition, and
communications. A multistage pipelined architecture with
output error correction logic provides for no missing codes
over the full operating temperature range. Internal control
registers allow for programming the ADC into the desired
mode. The THS10082 consists of two analog inputs,
which are sampled simultaneously. These inputs can be
selected individually and configured to single-ended or
differential inputs. An integrated 16 word deep FIFO
allows the storage of data in order to take the load off
of the processor connected to the ADC. Internal
reference voltages for the ADC (1.5 V and 3.5 V) are
provided.
An external reference can also be chosen to suit the dc
accuracy and temperature drift requirements of the
application. Two different conversion modes can be
selected. In the single conversion mode, a single and
simultaneous conversion can be initiated by using the
single conversion start signal (CONVST). The conversion
clock in th e s i n g l e conversion mode is generated internally
using a clock oscillator circuit. In the continuous
conversion mode, an external clock signal is applied to the
CONV_CLK input of the THS10082. The internal clock
oscillator is switched off in the continuous conversion
mode.
The THS10082C is characterized for operation from 0°C
to 70°C, and the THS10082I is characterized for operation
from –40°C to 85°C.

DVDD 18 I Digital supply voltage
D0D9 16, 912 I/O/Z Digital input, output; D0 = LSB
RA0 13 I Digital input. RA0 is used as an address line (RA0) for the control register. This is required for writing to
control register 0 and control register 1. See Table 8.
RA1 14 I Digital input. RA1 is used as an address line (RA1) for the control register. This is required for writing to
control register 0 and control register 1. See Table 8.
OV_FL 32 O Overflow o u t p u t . Indicates whether an overflow in the FIFO occurred. OV_FL is set to active high level if an
overflow occurs. It is set back to low level with a reset of the THS10082 or a reset of the FIFO.
REFIN 28 I Common-mode reference input for the analog input channels. It is recommended that this pin be
connected to the reference output REFOUT.
REFP 26 I Reference input, requires a bypass capacitor of 10 µF to AGND in order to bypass the internal reference
voltage. A n e xternal reference voltage at this input can be applied. This option can be programmed through
control register 0. See Table 9.
REFM 25 I Reference input, requires a bypass capacitor of 10 µF to AGND in order to bypass the internal reference
voltage. A n e xternal reference voltage at this input can be applied. This option can be programmed through
control register 0. See Table 9.
RESET 31 I Hardware reset of the THS10082. Sets the control register to default values.
REFOUT 27 O Analog fixed reference output voltage of 2.5 V. Sink and source capability of 250 µA. The reference output
requires a capacitor of 10 µF to AGND for filtering and stability.
RD(1) 19 I The R D input is used only if the WR input is configured as a write only input. In this case, it is a digital input,
active low as a data read select from the processor. See timing section.
WR (R/W)(1) 20 I This input is programmable. It functions as a read-write input (R/W) and can also be configured as a
write-only input (WR), which is active low and used as data write select from the processor . In this case, the
RD input is used as a read input from the processor. See timing section.
(1) The start conditions of RD and WR (R/W) are unknown. The first access to the ADC has to be a write access to initialize the ADC.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Reference Voltage
The THS10082 has a built-in reference, which provides the reference voltages for the ADC. VREFP is set to 3.5 V and
VREFM is set to 1.5 V. An external reference can also be used through two reference input pins, REFP and REFM, if the
reference source is programmed as external. The voltage levels applied to these pins establish the upper and lower limits
of the analog inputs to produce a full-scale and zero-scale reading respectively.
Analog Inputs
The THS10082 consists of two analog inputs, which are sampled simultaneously. These inputs can be selected individually
and configured as single-ended or differential inputs. The desired analog input channel can be programmed.
Analog-to-Digital Converter
The THS10082 uses a 10-bit pipelined multistaged architecture with four 1-bit stages followed by four 2-bit stages, which
achieves a high sample rate with low power consumption. The THS10082 distributes the conversion over several smaller
ADC sub-blocks, refining the conversion with progressively higher accuracy as the device passes the results from stage
to stage. This distributed conversion requires a small fraction of the number of comparators used in a traditional flash ADC.
A sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) within each of the stages permits the first stage to operate on a new input sample while
the second through the eighth stages operate on the seven preceding samples.
DATA_AV
In continuous conversion mode, the first DATA_AV signal is delayed by (7+TL) cycles of the CONV_CLK after a FIFO reset.
This is due to the latency of the pipeline architecture of the THS10082.
Conversion Modes
The conversion can be performed in two different conversion modes. In the single conversion mode, the conversion is
initiated by an external signal (CONVST). An internal oscillator controls the conversion time. In the continuous conversion
mode, an external clock signal is applied to the clock input (CONV_CLK). A new conversion is started with every falling
edge of the applied clock signal.
Sampling Rate
The maximum possible conversion rate per channel is dependent on the selected analog input channels. Table 1 shows
the maximum conversion rate in the continuous conversion mode for different combinations.

SINGLE CONVERSION MODE
In single conversion mode, a single conversion of the selected analog input channels is performed. The single conversion
mode is selected by setting bit 1 of control register 0 to 1.
A single conversion is initiated by pulsing the CONVST input. On the falling edge of CONVST, the sample and hold stages
of the selected analog inputs are placed into hold simultaneously, and the conversion sequence for the selected channels
is started.
The conversion clock in single conversion mode is generated internally using a clock oscillator circuit. The signal DATA_AV
(data available) becomes active when the trigger level is reached and indicates that the converted sample(s) is (are) written
into the FIFO and can be read out. The trigger level in the single conversion mode can be selected according to Table 13.
Figure 26 shows the timing of the single conversion mode. In this mode, up to two analog input channels can be selected
to be sampled simultaneously (see Table 2).

Figure 26. Timing of Single Conversion Mode
The time (t2) between consecutive starts of single conversions is dependent on the number of selected analog input
channels. The time tDATA_AV, until DATA_AV becomes active is given by: tDATA_AV = tpipe + n ×tc. This equation is valid for
a trigger level which is equivalent to the number of selected analog input channels. For all other trigger level conditions refer
to the timing specifications of single conversion mode.
CONTINUOUS CONVERSION MODE
The internal clock oscillator used in the single-conversion mode is switched off in continuous conversion mode. In
continuous conversion mode, (bit 1 of control register 0 set to 0) the ADC operates with a free running external clock signal
CONV_CLK. With every rising edge of the CONV_CLK signal a new converted value is written into the FIFO.
Figure 27 shows the timing of continuous conversion mode when one analog input channel is selected. The maximum
throughput rate is 8 MSPS in this mode. The timing of the DATA_AV signal is shown here in the case of a trigger level set
to 1 or 4.
