2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TS8388BFS is an 8 bit 1GSPS ADC based on an advanced high speed bipolar technology (B6HF from SIEMENS) featuring a cutoff
frequency of 25 GHz.
The TS8388BFS includes a front-end master/slave Track and Hold stage (S/H), followed by an analog encoding stage and interpolation
circuitry.
Successive banks of latches are regenerating the analog residues into logical data before entering an error correction circuitry and a
resynchronization stage followed by 75 differential output buffers.
The TS8388BFS works in fully differential mode from analog inputs up to digital outputs.
The TS8388BFS features a full power input bandwidth of 1.5 GHz.
Control pin GORB is provided to select either Gray or Binary data output format.
Gain control pin is provided in order to adjust the ADC gain.
A Data Ready output asynchronous reset (DRRB) is available on TS8388BFS.
The TS8388BFS uses only vertical isolated NPN transistors together with oxide isolated polysilicon resistors, which allow enhanced radiation
tolerance (no performance drift measured at 150kRad total dose).

Note 1 : Differential output buffers are internally loaded by 75 resistors. Buffer bias current = 11 mA.
Note 2 : See definition of terms
Note 3 : Histogram testing based on sampling of a 10 MHz sinewave at 50 MSPS.
Note 4 : Output error amplitude < ± 4 LSB around worst code.
Note 5 : Maximum jitter value obtained for single–ended clock input on the JTS8388B die (chip on board) : 200 fs.
(500 fs expected on TS8388BFS)
Note 6 : Digital output back termination options depicted in Application Notes figures 3,4,5 .
Note 7 : With a typical value of TD = 465 ps, at 1 GSPS, the timing safety margin for the data storing using the ECLinPS 10E452 output
registers from Motorola is of ± 315 ps, equally shared before and after the rising edge of the Data Ready signals (DR, DRB).
Note 8 : The clock inputs may be indifferently entered in differential or single–ended, using ECL levels or 4 dBm typical power level into the
50 termination resistor of the inphase clock input.
(4 dBm into 50 clock input correspond to 10 dBm power level for the clock generator.)
Note 9 : At 1GSPS, 50/50 clock duty cycle, TC2 = 500 ps (TC1). TDR - TOD = -100 ps (typ) does not depend on the sampling rate.
Note 10 : Specified loading conditions for digital outputs :
- 50 or 75 controlled impedance traces properly 50 / 75 terminated, or unterminated 75 controlled impedance traces.
- Controlled impedance traces far end loaded by 1 standard ECLinPS register from Motorola.( e.g. : 10E452 ) ( Typical input parasitic
capacitance of 1.5 pF including package and ESD protections. )
Note 11 : Termination load parasitic capacitance derating values :
- 50 or 75 controlled impedance traces properly 50 / 75 terminated : 60 ps / pF or 75 ps per additionnal ECLinPS load.
- Unterminated ( source terminated ) 75 controlled impedance lines : 100 ps / pF or 150 ps per additionnal ECLinPS termination
load.
Note 12 :apply proper 50 / 75 impedance traces propagation time derating values : 6 ps / mm (155 ps/inch) for TSEV8388BF Evaluation Board.
Note 13 : Values for TOD and TDR track each other over temperature, ( 1 % variation for TOD - TDR per 100 oC. temperature variation ).
Therefore TOD - TDR variation over temperature is negligible. Moreover, the internal ( onchip ) and package skews between each
Data TODs and TDR effect can be considered as negligible.Consequently, minimum values for TOD and TDR are never more than
100 ps apart. The same is true for the TOD and TDR maximum values (see Advanced Application Notes about TOD - TDR variation
over temperature in section 7).

DIOD/DRRB 49 This pin has a double function (can be left open or grounded if not
used) :
DIOD : die junction temperature monitoring pin.
DRRB : asynchronous data ready reset function
Note 1 : Following pin numbers 37 (CLK), 40 (CLKB), 54 (VIN) and 57 (VINB) have to be connected to GND through a 50 resistor as close
as possible to the package.(50 termination preferred option).
Note 2 : The common mode level of the output buffers is 1.2V below the positive digital supply.
For ECL compatibility the positive digital supply must be set at 0V (ground ).
For LVDS compatibility (output common mode at +1.2V) the positive digital supply must be set at 2.4V.
If the subsequent LVDS circuitry can withstand a lower level for input common mode, it is recommended to lower the positive digital
supply level in the same proportion in order to spare power dissipation.

6. DEFINITION OF TERMS
(BER) Bit Error Rate Probability to exceed a specified error threshold for a sample. An error code is a code that differs
by more than +/- 4 LSB from the correct code.
(BW) Full power input
bandwidth Analog input frequency at which the fundamental component in the digitally reconstructed output
has fallen by 3 dB with respect to its low frequency value (determined by FFT analysis) for input
at Full Scale.
(SINAD) Signal to noise and
distortion ratio Ratio expressed in dB of the RMS signal amplitude, set to 1dB below Full Scale, to the RMS
sum of all other spectral components, including the harmonics except DC.
(SNR) Signal to noise ratio Ratio expressed in dB of the RMS signal amplitude, set to 1dB below Full Scale, to the RMS
sum of all other spectral components excluding the five first harmonics.
(THD) Total harmonic
distorsion Ratio expressed in dBc of the RMS sum of the first five harmonic components, to the RMS value
of the measured fundamental spectral component.
(SFDR) Spurious free dynamic
range Ratio expressed in dB of the RMS signal amplitude, set at 1dB below Full Scale, to the RMS
value of the next highest spectral component (peak spurious spectral component). SFDR is the
key parameter for selecting a converter to be used in a frequency domain application ( Radar
systems, digital receiver, network analyzer ....). It may be reported in dBc (i.e., degrades as
signal levels is lowered), or in dBFS (i.e. always related back to converter full scale).
(ENOB) Effective Number Of Bits Where A is the actual input amplitude and V
is the full scale range of the ADC under test
(DNL) Differential non
linearity The Differential Non Linearity for an output code i is the difference between the measured step
size of code i and the ideal LSB step size. DNL (i) is expressed in LSBs. DNL is the maximum
value of all DNL (i). DNL error specification of less than 1 LSB guarantees that there are no
missing output codes and that the transfer function is monotonic.
(INL) Integral non linearity The Integral Non Linearity for an output code i is the difference between the measured input
voltage at which the transition occurs and the ideal value of this transition.
INL (i) is expressed in LSBs, and is the maximum value of all |INL (i)|.
(DG) Differential gain The peak gain variation (in percent) at five different DC levels for an AC signal of 20% Full
Scale peak to peak amplitude. FIN = 5 MHz. (TBC)
(DP) Differential phase Peak Phase variation (in degrees) at five different DC levels for an AC signal of 20% Full Scale
peak to peak amplitude. FIN = 5 MHz. (TBC)
(TA) Aperture delay Delay between the rising edge of the differential clock inputs (CLK,CLKB) (zero crossing point),
and the time at which (VIN,VINB) is sampled.
(JITTER) Aperture uncertainty Sample to sample variation in aperture delay. The voltage error due to jitter depends on the slew
rate of the signal at the sampling point.
(TS) Settling time Time delay to achieve 0.2 % accuracy at the converter output when a 80% Full Scale step
function is applied to the differential analog input.

reduced to midscale.
(TOD) Digital data
Output delay Delay from the falling edge of the differential clock inputs (CLK,CLKB) (zero crossing point) to
the next point of change in the differential output data (zero crossing) with specified load.
(TD1) Time delay from Data to
Data Ready Time delay from Data transition to Data ready.
(TD2) Time delay from Data
Ready to Data General expression is TD1 = TC1 + TDR - TOD with TC = TC1 + TC2 = 1 encoding clock period.
(TC) Encoding clock period TC1 = Minimum clock pulse width (high) TC = TC1 + TC2
TC2 = Minimum clock pulse width (low)
(TPD) Pipeline Delay Number of clock cycles between the sampling edge of an input data and the associated output
data being made available, (not taking in account the TOD). For the TS8388BFS the TPD is 4
clock periods.
SINAD - 1.76 + 20 log (A/V/2)

(TRDR) Data Ready reset delay Delay between the falling edge of the Data Ready output asynchronous Reset signal (DDRB)
and the reset to digital zero transition of the Data Ready output signal (DR).
(TR) Rise time Time delay for the output DATA signals to rize from 20% to 80% of delta between low level and
high level.
(TF) Fall time Time delay for the output DATA signals to fall from 80% to 20% of delta between low level and
high level.
(PSRR) Power supply
rejection ratio Ratio of input offset variation to a change in power supply voltage.
(NRZ) Non return to zero When the input signal is larger than the upper bound of the ADC input range, the output code is
identical to the maximum code and the Out of Range bit is set to logic one. When the input
signal is smaller than the lower bound of the ADC input range, the output code is identical to the
minimum code, and the Out of range bit is set to logic one. (It is assumed that the input signal
amplitude remains within the absolute maximum ratings).
(IMD) InterModulation Distortion The two tones intermodulation distortion ( IMD ) rejection is the ratio of either input tone to the
worst third order intermodulation products. The input tones levels are at - 7dB Full Scale.
(NPR) Noise Power Ratio The NPR is measured to characterize the ADC performance in response to broad bandwidth
signals. When using a notch-filtered broadband white-noise generator as the input to the ADC
under test, the Noise Power Ratio is defined as the ratio of the average out-of-notch to the
average in-notch power spectral density magnitudes for the FFT spectrum of the ADC output
sample test.

7. APPLYING THE TS8388BFS
7.1. TIMING INFORMATIONS
7.1.1. TIMING VALUE FOR TS8388BFS
Timing values as defined in 3.3 are advanced datas, issuing from electric simulations fitted with measurements.
Timing values are given at CQFP68 package inputs/outputs, taking into account package internal controlled impedance traces propagation
delays, gullwing pin model, and specified termination loads.
Propagation delays in 50/75 ohms impedance traces are NOT taken into account for TOD and TDR.
Apply proper derating values corresponding to termination topology.
The min/max timing values are valid over the full temperature range in the following conditions :
Note 1 : Specified Termination Load (Differential output Datas and Data Ready) :
50 ohms resistor in parallel with 1 standard ECLinPS register from Motorola, (e.g : 10E452)
(Typical ECLinPS inputs shows a typical input capacitance of 1.5 pF (including package and ESD protections)
If addressing an output Dmux, take care if some Digital outputs do not have the same termination load and apply corresponding derating value
given below.
Note 2 : Output Termination Load derating values for TOD and TDR :
~ 35 ps/pF or 50 ps per additionnal ECLinPS load.
Note 3 :Propagation time delay derating values have also to be applied for TOD and TDR :
~ 6 ps/mm (155 ps/inch) for TSEV8388B Evaluation Board.
Apply proper time delay derating value if a different dielectric layer is used.
7.1.2. PROPAGATION TIME CONSIDERATIONS
TOD and TDR Timing values are given from pin to pin and DO NOT include the additionnal propagation times between device pins and
input/output termination loads. For the TSEV8388B Evaluation Board, the propagation time delay is 6ps/mm (155ps/inch) corresponding to 3.4
(@10GHz) dielectric constant of the RO4003 used for the Board.
If a different dielectric layer is used (for instance Teflon), please use appropriate propagation time values.
TD does NOT depend on propagation times because it is a differential data.
(TD is the time difference between Data Ready output delay and digital Data output delay)
TD is also the most straightforward data to measure, again because it is differential :
TD can be measured directly onto termination loads, with matched Oscilloscopes probes.
7.1.3. TOD - TDR VARIATION OVER TEMPERATURE
Values for TOD and TDR track each other over temperature (1 percent variation for TOD - TDR per 100 degrees Celsius temperature variation).
Therefore TOD - TDR variation over temperature is negligible. Moreover, the internal (onchip) and package skews between each Data TODs
and TDR effect can be considered as negligible.
Consequently, minimum values for TOD and TDR are never more than 100 ps apart. The same is true for the TOD and TDR maximum values.
In other terms :
If TOD is at 1150 ps, TDR will not be at 1620 ps ( maximum time delay for TDR ).
If TOD is at 1660 ps, TDR will not be at 1110 ps ( minimum time delay for TDR ) However, external TOD - TDR values may be dictated by total
digital datas skews between every TODs (each digital data) and TDR :
MCM Board , bonding wires and output lines lengths differences, and output termination impedance mismatches.
The external (on board) skew effect has NOT been taken into account for the specification of the minimum and maximum values for TOD-TDR.
7.1.4. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Analog input is sampled on the rising edge of external clock input (CLK,CLKB) after TA (aperture delay) of typically 250ps .
The digitized data is available after 4 clock periods latency (pipeline delay (TPD)), on clock rising edge, after 1360 ps typical propagation delay
TOD.
The Data Ready differential output signal frequency (DR,DRB) is half the external clock frequency, that is it switches at the same rate as the
digital outputs.
The Data Ready output signal (DR,DRB) switches on external clock falling edge after a propagation delay TDR of typically 1320 ps.
A Master Asynchronous Reset input command DRRB ( ECL compatible single-ended input) is available for initializing the differential Data
Ready output signal ( DR,DRB ) .This feature is mandatory in certain applications using interleaved ADCs or using a single ADC with
demultiplexed outputs. Actually, without Data Ready signal initialization, it is impossible to store the output digital datas in a defined order.

7.2. PRINCIPLE OF DATA READY SIGNAL CONTROL BY DRRB INPUT COMMAND
7.2.1. DATA READY OUTPUT SIGNAL RESET
The Data Ready signal is reset on falling edge of DRRB input command, on ECL logical low level (-1.8V). DRRB may also be tied to VEE = - 5V
for Data Ready output signal Master Reset. So long DRRB remains at logical low level, (or tied to VEE = - 5V), the Data Ready output remains
at logical zero and is independant of the external free running encoding clock.
The Data Ready output signal (DR,DRB) is reset to logical zero after TRDR= 920 ps typical.
TRDR is measured between the -1.3V point of the falling edge of DRRB input command and the zero crossing point of the differential Data
Ready output signal (DR,DRB).
The Data Ready Reset command may be a pulse of 1 ns minimum time width.
7.2.2. DATA READY OUTPUT SIGNAL RESTART
The Data Ready output signal restarts on DRRB command rising edge, ECL logical high levels (-0.8V).
DRRB may also be Grounded, or is allowed to float, for normal free running Data Ready output signal.
The Data Ready signal restart sequence depends on the logical level of the external encoding clock, at DRRB rising edge instant :
1) The DRRB rising edge occurs when external encoding clock input (CLK,CLKB) is LOW :
The Data Ready output first rising edge occurs after half a clock period on the clock falling edge, after a delay time TDR = 1320 ps already
defined hereabove.
2) The DRRB rising edge occurs when external encoding clock input (CLK,CLKB) is HIGH :
The Data Ready output first rising edge occurs after one clock period on the clock falling edge, and a delay TDR = 1320ps.
Consequently, as the analog input is sampled on clock rising edge, the first digitized data corresponding to the first acquisition ( N ) after Data
Ready signal restart ( rising edge ) is always strobed by the third rising edge of the data ready signal.
The time delay (TD1) is specified between the last point of a change in the differential output data (zero crossing point) to the rising or falling
edge of the differential Data Ready signal (DR,DRB) (zero crossing point).
Note 1 : For normal initialization of Data Ready output signal, the external encoding clock signal frequency and level must be controlled.
It is reminded that the minimum encoding clock sampling rate for the ADC is 10 MSPS and consequently the clock cannot be stopped.
Note 2 : One single pin is used for both DRRB input command and die junction temperature monitoring.
Pin denomination will be DRRB/DIOD.( On former version denomination was DIOD. )
Temperature monitoring and Data Ready control by DRRB is not possible simultaneously.

7.3. ANALOG INPUTS (VIN) (VINB)
The analog input Full Scale range is 0.5 Volts peak to peak (Vpp), or -2 dBm into the 50 ohms termination resistor.
In differential mode input configuration, that means 0.25 Volt on each input, or +/- 125 mV around zero volt. The input common mode is
GROUND.
The typical input capacitance is 3 pF for TS8388BFS in CQFP package.
The input capacitance is mainly due to the package.(note : the ESD protections are not connected(but present) on the inputs.

Differential versus single ended analog input operation
The TS8388BFS can operate at full speed in either differential or single ended configuration.
This is explained by the fact the ADC uses a high input impedance differential preamplifier stage, (preceeding the Sample and hold stage),
which has been designed in order to be entered either in differential mode or single–ended mode.
This is true so long as the out of phase analog input pin VINB is 50 ohms terminated very closely to one of the neighboring shield ground pins
(52, 53, 58, 59) which constitute the local ground reference for the inphase analog input pin (VIN).
Thus the differential analog input preamplifier will fully reject the local ground noise ( and any capacitively and inductively coupled noise) as
common mode effects.
In typical single–ended configuration, enter on the (VIN) input pin, with the inverted phase input pin (VINB) grounded through the 50 ohms
termination resistor.
In single–ended input configuration, the in-phase input amplitude is 0.5 Volt peak to peak,centered on 0V. (or -2 dBm into 50 ohms.)
The inverted phase input is at ground potential through the 50 ohms termination resistor.
However, dynamic performances can be somewhat improved by entering either analog or clock inputs in differential mode.

7.4. CLOCK INPUTS (CLK) (CLKB)
The TS8388BFS can be clocked at full speed without noticeable performance degradation in either differential or single ended configuration.
This is explained by the fact the ADC uses a differential preamplifier stage for the clock buffer, which has been designed in order to be entered
either in differential or single–ended mode.
7.4.1. SINGLE ENDED CLOCK INPUT (GROUND COMMON MODE)
Although the clock inputs were intended to be driven differentially with nominal -0.8V / -1.8V ECL levels, the TS8388BFS clock buffer can
manage a single–ended sinewave clock signal centered around 0 Volt. This is the most convenient clock input configuration as it does not
require the use of a power splitter.
No performance degradation ( e.g. : due to timing jitter) is observed in this particular single–ended configuration up to 1.2GSPS Nyquist
conditions ( Fin = 600 MHz ).
This is true so long as the inverted phase clock input pin is 50 ohms terminated very closely to one of the neighbouring shield ground pin, which
constitutes the local Ground reference for the inphase clock input.
Thus the TS8388BFS differential clock input buffer will fully reject the local ground noise ( and any capacitively and inductively coupled noise) as
common mode effects.
Moreover, a very low phase noise sinewave generator must be used for enhanced jitter performance.
The typical inphase clock input amplitude is 1 Volt peak to peak, centered on 0 Volt (ground) common mode.
This corresponds to a typical clock input power level of 4 dBm into the 50 ohms termination resistor.
Do not exceed 10 dBm to avoid saturation of the preamplifier input transistors.
The inverted phase clock input is grounded through the 50 ohms termination resistor.

7.4.2. DIFFERENTIAL ECL CLOCK INPUT
The clock inputs can be driven differentially with nominal -0.8V / -1.8V ECL levels.
In this mode, a low phase noise sinewave generator can be used to drive the clock inputs, followed by a power splitter (hybrid junction) in order
to obtain 180 degrees out of phase sinewave signals. Biasing tees can be used for offseting the common mode voltage to ECL levels.
Note : As the biasing tees propagation times are not matching, a tunable delay line is required in order to ensure the signals to be 180 degrees
out of phase especially at fast clock rates in the GSPS range.

7.5. CLOCK SIGNAL DUTY CYCLE ADJUST
At fast sampling rates, ( 1 GSPS and above), the device performance ( especially the SNR ) may be improved by tuning the Clock duty cycle
(CLK,CLKB).
In single ended configuration, when using a sinewave clock generator, the clock signal duty cycle can be easily adjusted by simply offseting the
inphase clock signal using a biasing tee, (as the out of phase clock input is at ground level ).

Note 2 : For an input CLK signal of 4 dBm into 50 ohms, the typical offset value to achieve a 40 / 60 clock duty cycle is -180 mV on CLK.
7.6. NOISE IMMUNITY INFORMATIONS
Circuit noise immunity performance begins at design level.
Efforts have been made on the design in order to make the device as insensitive as possible to chip environment perturbations resulting from
the circuit itself or induced by external circuitry.
(Cascode stages isolation, internal damping resistors, clamps, internal (onchip) decoupling capacitors.)
Furthermore, the fully differential operation from analog input up to the digital outputs provides enhanced noise immunity by common mode
noise rejection.
Common mode noise voltage induced on the differential analog and clock inputs will be canceled out by these balanced differential amplifiers.
Moreover, proper active signals shielding has been provided on the chip to reduce the amount of coupled noise on the active inputs :
The analog inputs and clock inputs of the TS8388BFS device have been surrounded by ground pins, which must be directly connected to the
external ground plane.

7.7. DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The TS8388BFS differential output buffers are internally 75 ohms loaded. The 75 ohms resistors are connected to the digital ground pins
through a -0.8v level shift diode (see Figures 3,4,5 on next page).
The TS8388BFS output buffers are designed for driving 75 ohms (default) or 50 ohms properly terminated impedance lines or coaxial cables.
An 11 mA bias current flowing alternately into one of the 75 ohms resistors when switching ensures a 0.825 V voltage drop across the resistor
(unterminated outputs).
The VPLUSD positive supply voltage allows the adjustment of the output common mode level from -1.2V (VPLUSD=0V for ECL output
compatibility) to +1.2V (VPLUSD=2.4V for LVDS output compatibility).
Therefore,the single ended output voltages vary approximately between -0.8V and -1.625V, ( outputs unterminated ), around -1.2V common
mode voltage.
Three possible line driving and back-termination scenarios are proposed (assuming VPLUSD=0V) :
1 ) 75 Ohms impedance transmission lines, 75 ohms differentialy terminated (Fig. 3) :
Each output voltage varies between -1V and -1.42V (respectively +1.4V and +1V), leading to +/- 0.41V =0.825 V in differential, around -1.21 V
(respectively +1.21V) common mode for VPLUSD=0V (respectively 2.4V).
2 ) 50 ohms impedance transmission lines, 50 ohms differentialy termination (Fig. 4) :
Each output voltage varies between -1.02V and -1.35V (respectively +1.38V and +1.05V), leading to +/- 0.33V=660 mV in differential, around -
1.18V (respectively +1.21V) common mode for VPLUSD=0V (respevtively 2.4V).
3 ) 75 ohms impedance open transmission lines (Fig. 5) :
Each output voltage varies between -1.6 V and -0.8 V (respectively +0.8V and +1.6V), which are true ECL levels, leading to +/- 0.8V=1.6V in
differential, around -1.2V (respectively +1.2V) common mode for VPLUSD=0V (respectively 2.4V).
Therefore, it is possible to drive directly high input impedance storing registers, without terminating the 75 ohms transmission lines.
In time domain, that means that the incident wave will reflect at the 75 ohms transmission line output and travel back to the generator ( i.e. the
75 ohms data output buffer ). As the buffer output impedance is 75 ohms, no back reflection will occur.
Note : This is no longer true if a 50 ohms transmission line is used, as the latter is not matching the buffer 75 ohms output impedance.
Each differential output termination length must be kept identical .
It is recommended to decouple the midpoint of the differential termination with a 10 nF capacitor to avoid common mode perturbation in case of
slight mismatch in the differential output line lengths.
Too large mismatches ( keep < a few mm ) in the differential line lengths will lead to switching currents flowing into the decoupling capacitor
leading to switching ground noise.
The differential output voltage levels ( 75 or 50 ohms termination ) are not ECL standard voltage levels, however it is possible to drive standard
logic ECL circuitry like the ECLinPS logic line from MOTOROLA.
At sampling rates exceeding 1GSPS, it may be difficult to trigger the HP16500 or any other Acquisition System with digital outputs.
It becomes necessary to regenerate digital data and Data Ready by means of external amplifiers, in order to be able to test the TS8388BFS at
its optimum performance conditions.

7.8. OUT OF RANGE BIT
An Out of Range (OR,ORB) bit is provided that goes to logical high state when the input exceeds the positive full scale or falls below the
negative full scale.
When the analog input exceeds the positive full scale, the digital output datas remain at high logical state, with (OR,ORB) at logical one.
When the analog input falls below the negative full scale, the digital outputs remain at logical low state, with (OR,ORB) at logical one again.
7.9. GRAY OR BINARY OUTPUT DATA FORMAT SELECT
The TS8388BFS internal regeneration latches indecision (for inputs very close to latches threshold) may produce errors in the logic encoding
circuitry and leading to large amplitude output errors.
This is due to the fact that the latches are regenerating the internal analog residues into logical states with a finite voltage gain value (Av) within
a given positive amount of time (t) :
Av= exp((t)/τ) , with τ the positive feedback regeneration time constant.
The TS8388BFS has been designed for reducing the probability of occurence of such errors to approximately 10-13 (targetted for the
TS8388BFS at 1GSPS).
A standard technique for reducing the amplitude of such errors down to +/-1 LSB consists to output the digital datas in Gray code format.
Though the TS8388BFS has been designed for featuring a Bit Error Rate of 10-13 with a binary output format, it is possible for the user to select
between the Binary or Gray output data format, in order to reduce the amplitude of such errors when occuring, by storing Gray output codes.
Digital Datas format selection :
BINARY output format if GORB is floating or VCC.
GRAY output format if GORB is connected to ground (0V).
7.10. DIODE PIN 49
One single pin is used for both DRRB input command and die junction monitoring. The pin denomination is DRRB/DIOD. Temperature
monitoring and Data Ready control by DRRB is not possible simultaneously.
(See section 7.2 for Data Ready Reset input command).
The operating die junction temperature must be kept below145°C, therefore an adequate cooling system has to be set up.

9. TSEV8388BF : CHIP EVALUATION BOARD (SEE SEPARATE TSEV8388BF SPECIFICATION)
TSEV8388 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TSEV8388BF Evaluation Board (CEB) is a prototype board which has been designed in order to facilitate the evaluation and the
characterization of the TS8388BFS device up to its 1.5 GHz full power bandwidth at up to 1 GSPS in the military temperature range.
The high speed of the TS8388BFS requires careful attention to circuit design and layout to achieve optimal performance.
This four metal layer board with internal ground plane has the adequate functions in order to allow a quick and simple evaluation of the
TS8388BFS ADC performances over the temperature range.
The TSEV8388BF Evaluation Board is very straightforward as it only implements the TS8388BFS ADC, SMA connectors for input / output
accesses and a 2.54 mm pitch connector compatible with HP16500C high frequency probes.
The board also implements a de–embedding fixture in order to facilitate the evaluation of the high frequency insertion loss of the input microstrip
lines, and a die junction temperature measurement setting.
The board is constituted by a sandwich of two dielectric layers, featuring low insertion loss and enhanced thermal characteristics for operation in
the high frequency domain and extended temperature range.
The board dimensions are 130 mm x 130 mm.
The board set comes fully assembled and tested, with the TS8388BFS in CQFP68 package installed.
