Detailed Description
Theory of Operation
The HI5746 is a 10-bit fully differential sampling pipeline A/D
converter with digital error correction logic. Figure 25 depicts
the circuit for the front end differential-in-diff erential-out sample-
and-hold (S/H). The switches are controlled by an internal
sampling clock which is a non-ov erlapping two phase signal, φ1
and φ2 , derived from the master sampling clock. During the
sampling phase, φ1 , the input signal is applied to the sampling
capacitors, CS . At the same time the holding capacitors, CH ,
are discharged to analog ground. At the f alling edge of φ1 the
input signal is sampled on the bottom plates of the sampling
capacitors. In the next clock phase, φ2 , the two bottom plates of
the sampling capacitors are connected together and the
holding capacitors are switched to the op amp output nodes.
The charge then redistributes between CS and CH completing
one sample-and-hold cycle. The front end sample-and-hold
output is a fully-differential, sampled-data representation of the
analog input. The circuit not only performs the sample-and-hold
function but will also convert a single-ended input to a fully-
differential output for the conv erter core. During the sampling
phase, the VIN pins see only the on-resistance of a s witch and
CS . The relatively small v alues of these components result in a
typical full power input bandwidth of 250MHz f or the con v erter .

As illustrated in the functional block diagram and the timing
diagram in Figure 1, eight identical pipeline subconverter
stages, each containing a two-bit flash converter and a
two-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converter , follow the S/H
circuit with the ninth stage being a two bit flash converter.
Each converter stage in the pipel ine will be sampling in one
phase and amplifying in the other clock phase. Each
individual subconv erter clock signal is offset by 180 degrees
from the previous stage clock signal resulting in alternate
stages in the pipeline performing the same operation.
The output of each of the eight identical two-bit subconverter
stages is a two-bit digital word contain ing a supplementary bit
to be used b y the digital error correction logi c. The output of
each subcon verter stage is input to a digital dela y line which is
controlled by the internal sampling clock. The function of the
digital delay line is to time align the digital outputs of the eigh t
identical two-bit subco nverter stages with the corresponding
output of the ninth stage flash conv erter before applyin g the
eighteen bit result to the digital error correction lo gic. The
digital error correction logic uses the sup plementary bits to
correct any error that may exist before generating the final ten
bit digital data output of the conv erter .
Because of the pipeline nature of this converter, the digital
data representing an analog input sample is output to the
digital data bus on the 7th cycle of the clock after the analog
sample is taken. This time delay is specified as the data
latency. After the data latency time, the digital data
representing each succeeding analog sample is output
during the following clock cycle. The digital output data is
synchronized to the external sampling clock by a double
buffered latching technique. The output of the digital error
correction circuit is available in two’s complement or offset
binary format depending on the state of the Data Format
Select (DFS) control input (see Table 1, A/D Code Table).
Reference Voltage Inputs, VREF - and VREF+
The HI5746 is designed to acce pt tw o external reference
vol tage sources at the VREF input pins. Typical operation of
the conv erter requires VREF+ to be set at +2.5V and VREF - to
be set at 2.0V. How ever, it should be noted that the input
structure of the VREF+ and VREF - input pins consists of a
resistiv e voltage divider with one resistor of the divider
(nominally 500) connected betw een V REF+ an d VREF - and
the other resistor of the divider (nominally 2000) co nnected
between VREF - and analog ground. This allows the user the
option of supplying only the +2.5V VREF+ voltage reference
with the + 2.0 V VREF - being generated internally by the
voltag e division action of the input structure .
The HI5746 is tested with VREF - equal to +2.0V and VREF+
equal to +2.5V yielding a fully differential analog input voltage
range of ±0.5V. VREF+ and VREF - can differ from the abov e
vo ltages (see the Typical P e rformance Curves, Fi gure 8
through Figure 13).
In order to minimi ze ov erall con verter noise it is recomme nded
that adequate high freq uency deco upling be pro v ided at both
of the ref erence voltage input pins, VREF+ and VREF -.
Analog Input, Differential Connection
The analog input to the HI5746 is a differential input that can
be configured in various ways depending on the signal
source and the required level of performance. A fully
differential connection (Figure 26 and Figure 27) will give the
best performance for the converter.
Since the HI5746 is powered by a single +5V analog supply,
the analog input is limited to be between ground and +5V.
For the differential input connection this implies the analog
input common mode voltage can range from 0.25V to 4.75V.
The performance of the ADC does not change significantly
with the value of the analog input common mode voltage.
A DC voltage source, VDC , equal to 3.2V (typi cal), is made
av ailable to the user to help simplify circuit design when using
an A C cou pled differential input. This low output i mpedance
vo ltage source is not designed to be a ref erence but mak es an
e xcellent DC b ias source and sta ys w ell with in the analog
input common mode v ol tage ra nge o v er temper ature (see the
Typical Performance Curves , Figure 21 ).
For the AC coupled differential input (Figure 26) assume
the difference between VREF+, typically 2.5V, and VREF-,
typically 2.0V, is 0.5V. Full scale is achieved when the VIN
and -VIN input signals are 0.5VP- P , with -VIN being
180 degrees out of phase with VIN . The converter will be

at positive full scale when the VIN+ inp ut is at
VDC + 0.25V and the VIN- input is at VDC - 0.25V (VIN+ -
VIN- = +0.5V). Conversely, the conver ter will be at
negative fullscale when the VIN+ input is equal to VDC -
0.25V and VIN- is at VDC + 0.25V (VIN+ - VIN- = -0.5V).
The analog input can be DC coupled (Figure 27) as long as
the inputs are within the analog input common mode voltage
range (0.25V VDC 4.75V).
The resistors, R, in Figure 27 are not absolutely necessary
but may be used as load setting resistors. A capacitor, C,
connected from VIN+ to VIN- will help filter any high
frequency noise on the inputs, also improving performance.
Values around 20pF are suffic ient and can be used on AC
coupled inputs as well. Note, however, that the value of
capacitor C chosen must take into account the highest
frequency component of the analog input signal.
Analog Input, Single-Ended Connection
The configuration shown in Figure 28 may be used with a
single ended AC coupled input.
Again, assume the difference between VREF+, typically 2.5V,
and VREF-, typically 2V, is 0.5V. If VIN is a 1VP-P sinewave,
then VIN+ is a 1VP-P sinewave riding on a positive voltage
equal to VDC . The converter wil l be at positive full scale
when VIN+ is at VDC + 0.5V (VIN+ - VIN- = +0.5V) and will
be at negative full scale when VIN+ is equal to
VDC - 0.5V (VIN+ - VIN- = -0.5V). Sufficient headroom m ust
be provided such that the input voltage never goes ab ove
+5V or below A GND. In this case, VDC could range betw een
0.5V and 4.5V without a significant change in ADC
perf ormance. The simplest wa y to produce VDC is to use the
DC bias source, VDC , output of the HI5746.
The single ended analog input can be DC coupled
(Figure 27) as long as the inpu t is within the analog input
common mode voltage range.
The resistor, R, in Figure 29 is not absolutely necessary but
may be used as a load setting resistor. A capacitor, C,
connected from VIN+ to VIN- will help filter any high
frequency noise on the inputs, also improving perfor m ance.
Values around 20pF are sufficient and can be used on AC
coupled inputs as well. Note, however, that the value of
capacitor C chosen must tak e into account the highest
frequency component of the analog input signal.
A single ended source may give better ov erall system
performance if it is first converted to differential before
driving the HI5746.
Digital Output Control and Clock Requirements
The HI5746 provides a standard high-speed interface to
external TTL logic families.
In order to ensure rated performance of the HI5746, the duty
cycle of the clock should be held at 50% ±5%. It must also
have low jitter and operate at standard TTL levels.
Pe rformance of the HI5746 will only be guaranteed at
conversion rates above 1 MSPS. This ensures proper
performance of the internal dynamic circuits. Similarly, when
power is first applied to the converter, a maximum of 20
cycles at a sample rate above 1 MSPS will have to be
performed before valid data is available.
A Data Form at Select (DFS) pin is provided which will
determine the format of the digital data outputs. When at
logic low, the data will be output in offset binary format.
When at logic high, the data will be output in two’s
complement format. Refer to Table 1 for further information.

The output enable pin, OE, when pulled high will three-state
the digital outputs to a high impedance state. Set the OE
input to logic low for normal operation.
Supply and Ground Considerations
The HI5746 has separate analog and digital supply and
ground pins to keep digital noise out of the analog signal
path. The digital data outputs also have a separate supply
pin, DVCC2 , which can be pow ered from a 3V or 5V su pply.
This allows the outputs to interface with 3V logic if so
desired.
The part should be mounted on a bo ard that provides
separate low impedance connections for the analog and
digital supplies and grounds. For best performance, the
supplies to the HI5746 should be driven by clean, linear
regulated supplies. The board should also have good high
frequency decoupling capacitors mounted as close as
possible to the converter. If the part is powered off a single
supply then the analog supply should be isolated with a
ferrite bead from the digital supply.
Refer to the application note “Using In tersil High Speed A/D
Converters” (AN9214) for additional considerations when
using high speed conv erters.
Static Performance Definitions
Offset Error (VOS)
The midscale code transition should occur at a level 1/4 LSB
above half-scale. Offset is defined as the deviation of the
actual code transition from this point.
Full-Scale Error (FSE)
The last code transition should occur f or an analog input that
is 3/4 LSB below positive Full scale (+FS) with the offset
error removed. Fullscale error is defined as the deviation of
the actual code transition from this point.
Differential Linearity Error (DNL)
DNL is the worst case deviation of a code width from the
ideal value of 1 LSB.
Integral Linearity Error (INL)
INL is the worst case deviation of a code center from a best
fit straight line calculated from the measured data.
Power Supply Sensitivity
Each of the power supplies are moved plus and minus 5%
and the shift in the offset and full scale error (in LSBs) is
noted.
Dynamic Performance Definitions
F ast F ourier Transform (FFT) techniques are used to e valuate
the dynamic performance of the HI5746. A low distortion sine
wa ve is applied to the input, it is coherently sampled, and the
output is stored in RAM. The data is then transf ormed into the
frequency domain with an FFT and analyz ed to evaluate the
dynamic performance of the A/D. The sine wav e input to the
part is -0.5dB down from Fullscale f or all these tests .

SNR and SINAD are quoted in dB. The distortion numbers are
quoted in dBc (decibels with respect to carrier) and DO NOT
include any correction f actors f or normalizing to full scale.
Effective Number Of Bits (ENOB)
The effective number of bits (ENOB) is calculated from the
SINAD data by:
ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76 + VCORR) / 6.02,
where: VCORR = 0.5 dB.
VCORR adjusts the SINAD, and hence the ENOB, for the
amount the analog input signal is below fullscale.
Signal To Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the measured RMS signal to RMS sum
of all the other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, fS/2, excluding DC.
Signal To Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the measured RMS signal to RMS noise
at a specified input and sampling frequency. The noise is the
RMS sum of all of the spectral components below fS/2
excluding the fundamental, the first five harmonics and DC.
Total Harmonic Distor tion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the first 5 harmonic
components to the RMS value of the fundamental input
signal.
2nd and 3rd Harmonic Distortion
This is the ratio of the RMS value of the applicab l e harmonic
component to the RMS v a lue of the fundamental in put si gnal.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the ratio of the fundamen ta l RMS amplitude to the
RMS amplitude of the next largest spectral component in the
spectrum below fS / 2.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
Nonlinearities in the signal path will tend to generate
intermodulation products when two tones, f1 and f2 , are
present at the inputs. The ratio of the measured signal to
the distortion terms is calculated. The terms included in the
calculation are (f1+f2), (f1-f2), (2f1), (2f2), (2f1+f2), (2f1-f2),
(f1+2f2), (f1-2f2). The ADC is tested with each tone 6dB
below full scale.
Transient Response
Transient response is measured by providing a full scale
transition to the analog input of the ADC and measuring the
number of cycles it takes for the output code to settle within
10-bit accuracy.
Over-Voltage Recovery
Over-Voltage Recov ery is measured by providing a full scale
transition to the analog i nput of the ADC which overdrives
the input by 200mV, and measuring the number of cycles it
takes for the output code to settle within 10-bit accuracy.
Full Power Input Bandwidth (FPBW)
Full power input bandwidth is the analog input frequency at
which the amplitude of the digitally reconstructed output has
decreased 3dB below the amplitude of the input sine wave.
The input sine wave has an amplitude which swings from
-FS to +FS. The bandwidth given is measured at the
specified sampling frequency.
Video Definitions
Differential Gain and Differential Phase are two commonly
f ound video specifications for characterizing the distortion of
a chrominance signal as it is offset through the input voltage
range of an ADC.
Differential Gain (DG)
Differential Gain is the peak difference in chrominance
amplitude (in percent) relative to the reference burst.
Differential Phase (DP )
Diff erential Phase is the peak difference in chrominance
phase (in degrees) relative to the reference burst.
Timing Definitions
Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 for these definitions.
Aperture Delay (tAP)
Aperture delay is the time delay between the external
sample command (the falling edge of the clock) and the time
at which the signal is actually sampled. This delay is due to
internal clock path propagation delays.
Aper tu re Ji tt er (tAJ)
Aperture jitter is the RMS variation in the aperture delay due
to variation of internal clock path delays.
Data Hold Time (tH)
Data hold time is the time to where the previous data (N - 1)
is no longer valid.
Data Output Delay Time (tOD)
Data output delay time is the time to where the ne w data (N)
is valid.
Data Latency (tLAT)
After the analog sample is tak en, the digital data representing
an analog input sample is output to the digital data bus on
the 7th cycle of the clock after the analog sample is taken.
This is due to the pipeline nature of the con verter where the
analog sample has to ripple through the internal subconv erter
stages. This delay is specified as the data latency. After the
data latency time, the digital data representing each
succeeding analog sample is output during the following
clock cycle. The di gital data l ags t he ana log in put sa mple by 7
sample clock cycles .
Power-Up Initialization
This time is defined as the maxim um number of cloc k cycles
that are required to initialize the converter at power-up. The
requirement arises from the need to initialize the dynamic
circuits within the converter.
