MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 Description The MCP37231/21-200 is Microchip's baseline 16-/14bit 200 Msps pipelined ADC family, featuring built-in high-order digital decimation filters, gain and offset adjustment per channel and fractional delay recovery. The MCP37D31/21-200 device family features digital down-conversion and CW beamforming capability, in addition to the features offered by the MCP37231/21200. All devices feature harmonic distortion correction and DAC noise cancellation that enable high-performance specifications with SNR of 74.7 dBFS (typical), and SFDR of 90 dBc (typical). These A/D converters exhibit industry-leading lowpower performance with only 490 mW operation while using the LVDS interface at 200 Msps. This superior low-power operation coupled with high dynamic performance makes these devices ideal for various high-performance, high-speed data acquisition systems, including communications equipment, radar and portable instrumentation. The output decimation filter option improves SNR performance up to 93.5 dBFS with the 512x decimation setting. The digital down-conversion option, in conjunction with the decimation and quadrature output options, offers great flexibility in digital communication system design, including cellular base-stations and narrow-band communications. Gain, phase and DC offset can be adjusted independently for each input channel, allowing for simplified implementation of CW beamforming and ultrasound Doppler imaging applications. These devices can have up to eight differential input channels through an input MUX. The sampling rate is up to 200 Msps when a single channel is used, or 25 Msps per channel when all eight input channels are used. In dual or octal-channel mode, the Fractional Delay Recovery (FDR) feature digitally corrects the difference in sampling instance between different channels, so that all inputs appear to have been sampled at the same time. The differential full-scale analog input range is programmable up to 2.975 VP-P. The ADC output data can be coded in two's complement or offset binary representation, with or without the data randomizer option. The output data is available as full-rate CMOS or Double-Data-Rate (DDR) LVDS. Additionally, a serialized LVDS option is also available for the 16-bit octal-channel mode. These devices also include various features designed to maximize flexibility in the user's applications and minimize system cost, such as a programmable PLL clock, output data rate control and phase alignment and programmable digital pattern generation. The device's operational modes and feature sets are configured by setting up the user-programmable registers. The device is available in Pb-free TFBGA-121 and VTLA-124 packages. The device with a TFBGA-121 Package is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications and operates over the extended temperature range of -40C to +125C. Package Types Bottom View Dimension: 8 mm x 8 mm x 1.08 mm Ball Pitch: 0.65 mm Ball Diameter: 0.4 mm (a) TFBGA-121 Package (AEC-Q100 Qualified). Bottom View The device samples the analog input on the rising edge of the clock. The digital output code is available after 28 clock cycles of data latency. Latency will increase if any of the digital signal post-processing (DSPP) options are enabled. AutoSync mode offers a great design flexibility when multiple devices are used in applications. It allows multiple devices to sample input synchronously at the same clock. Dimension: 9 mm x 9 mm x 0.9 mm (b) VTLA-124 Package1.

DS20005322E-page 9 MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 Notes: 1. When the VCM output is used for the common-mode voltage of analog inputs (i.e. by connecting to the center-tap of a balun), the VCM pin should be decoupled with a 0.1 F capacitor, and should be directly tied to the VCMIN+ and VCMIN- pins. 2. CMOS output mode: WCK/OVR- is WCK and WCK/OVR+ is OVR. DDR LVDS output mode: The rising edge of DCLK+ is WCK and the falling edge is OVR. OVR: OVR will be held "High" when analog input overrange is detected. Digital signal post-processing will cause OVR to assert early relative to the output data. See Figure 2-2 for LVDS timing of these bits. WCK: WCK is normally "Low". WCK is "High" while data from the first channel is sent out. In single-channel mode, WCK stays "High" except when in I/Q output mode. In serialized LVDS (octal) output mode, the WCK output is asserted "High" on the MSb bit. See Section 4.12.5 "Word Clock (WCK)" for further WCK description. 3. DDR LVDS: Two data bits are multiplexed onto each differential output pair. The output pins shown here are for the "Even bit first", which is the default setting of OUTPUT_MODE<1:0> in Address 0x62 (Register 5-20). The even data bits (Q0, Q2, Q4, Q6, Q8, Q10, Q12, Q14) appear when DCLK+ is "High". The odd data bits (Q1, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q9, Q11, Q13, Q15) appear when DCLK+ is "Low". See Addresses 0x65 (Register 5-23) and 0x68 (Register 5-26) for output polarity control. See Figures 2-2 to 2-6 for LVDS output timing diagrams. 4. VCMIN is used for Auto-Calibration only. VCMIN+ and VCMIN- should be tied together always. There should be no voltage difference between the two pins. Typically both VCMIN+ and VCMIN- are tied to the VCM output pin together, but they can be tied to another common-mode voltage if external VCM is used. This pin has High Z input in Shutdown, Standby and Reset modes. 5. Available for the MCP37231-200 and MCP37D31-200 devices only. Leave these pins floating (No Connect) if not used. 18-bit mode: DM1/DM+ and DM2/DM- are the last LSb bits. DM2/DM- is the LSb. In LVDS output, DM1/DM+ and DM2/DM- are the LSb pair. DM1/DM+ appears at the falling edge and DM2/DM- is at the rising edge of the DCLK+. Other than 18-bit mode: DM1/DM+ and DM2/DM- are High Z in LVDS mode. 6. CAL pin stays "Low" at power-up until the first power-up calibration is completed. When the first calibration has completed, this pin has "High" output. It stays "High" until the internal calibration is restarted by hardware or a soft reset command. In Reset mode, this pin is "Low". In Standby and Shutdown modes, this pin will maintain the prior condition. 7. If the SPI address is dynamically controlled, the Address pin must be held constant while CS is "Low". 8. The phase of DCLK relative to the data output bits may be adjusted depending on the operating mode. This is controlled differently depending on the configuration of the digital signal post-processing, PLL and/or DLL. See also Addresses 0x52, 0x64 and 0x6D (Registers 5-7, 5-22 and 5-28) for more details. 9. The device is in Reset mode while this pin stays "Low". On the rising edge of RESET, the device exits Reset mode, initializes all internal user registers to default values, and begins power-up calibration. 10. (a) SLAVE = "High": The device is selected as slave and the SYNC pin becomes input pin. (b) SLAVE = "Low": The device is selected as master and the SYNC pin becomes output pin. In SLAVE/SYNC operation, master and slave devices are synchronized to the same clock. DS20005322E-page 10 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

Pins that need to be grounded A24, A64, B20, B54 GND 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc. These pins are not supply pins, but need to be tied to ground. DS20005322E-page 15 MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 Notes: 1. These pins are for the internal reference voltage outputs. They should not be driven. External decoupling circuits are required. See Section 4.5.3, "Decoupling Circuits for Internal Voltage Reference and Bandgap Output" for details. 2. VCMIN is used for Auto-Calibration only. VCMIN+ and VCMIN- should be tied together always. There should be no voltage difference between the two pins. Typically both VCMIN+ and VCMIN- are tied to the VCM output pin together, but they can be tied to another common-mode voltage if external VCM is used. This pin has High Z input in Shutdown, Standby and Reset modes. 3. When the VCM output is used for the common-mode voltage of analog inputs (i.e. by connecting to the centertap of a balun), the VCM pin should be decoupled with a 0.1 F capacitor, and should be directly tied to the VCMIN+ and VCMIN- pins. 4. ADR1 (for A1 bit) is internally bonded to GND (`0'). If ADR0 is dynamically controlled, ADR0 must be held constant while CS is "Low". 5. The device is in Reset mode while this pin stays "Low". On the rising edge of RESET, the device exits Reset mode, initializes all internal user registers to default values, and begins power-up calibration. 6. CAL pin stays "Low" at power-up until the first power-up calibration is completed. When the first calibration has completed, this pin has "High" output. It stays "High" until the internal calibration is restarted by hardware or a soft reset command. In Reset mode, this pin is "Low". In Standby and Shutdown modes, this pin will maintain the prior condition. 7. The phase of DCLK relative to the data output bits may be adjusted depending on the operating mode. This is controlled differently depending on the configuration of the digital signal post-processing, PLL and/or DLL. See also Addresses 0x52, 0x64 and 0x6D (Registers 5-7, 5-22 and 5-28) for more details. 8. DDR LVDS: Two data bits are multiplexed onto each differential output pair. The output pins shown here are for the "Even bit first", which is the default setting of OUTPUT_MODE<1:0> in Address 0x62 (Register 5-20). The even data bits (Q0, Q2, Q4, Q6, Q8, Q10, Q12, Q14) appear when DCLK+ is "High". The odd data bits (Q1, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q9, Q11, Q13, Q15) appear when DCLK+ is "Low". See Addresses 0x65 (Register 5-23) and 0x68 (Register 5-26) for output polarity control. See Figures 2-2 to 2-6 for LVDS output timing diagrams. 9. Available for the MCP37231-200 and MCP37D31-200 devices only. Leave these pins floating (No Connect) if not used. 10. 18-bit mode: DM1/DM+ and DM2/DM- are the last LSb bits. DM2/DM- is the LSb. In LVDS output, DM1/DM+ and DM2/DM- are the LSb pair. DM1/DM+ appears at the falling edge and DM2/DM- is at the rising edge of the DCLK+. Other than 18-bit mode: DM1/DM+ and DM2/DM- are High Z in LVDS mode. 11. CMOS output mode: WCK/OVR- is WCK and WCK/OVR+ is OVR. DDR LVDS output mode: The rising edge of DCLK+ is WCK and the falling edge is OVR. OVR: OVR will be held "High" when analog input overrange is detected. Digital signal post-processing will cause OVR to assert early relative to the output data. See Figure 2-2 for LVDS timing of these bits. WCK: WCK is normally "Low". WCK is "High" while data from the first channel is sent out. In single-channel mode, WCK stays "High" except when in I/Q output mode. In serialized LVDS (octal) output mode, the WCK output is asserted "High" on the MSb bit. See Section 4.12.5 "Word Clock (WCK)" for further WCK description. 12. (a) SLAVE = "High": The device is selected as slave and the SYNC pin becomes input pin. (b) SLAVE = "Low": The device is selected as master and the SYNC pin becomes output pin. In SLAVE/SYNC operation, master and slave devices are synchronized to the same clock. DS20005322E-page 16 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

This 1.8V digital supply voltage is used for the digital I/O circuit, including SPI, CMOS and LVDS data output drivers. Standby Mode: Most of the internal circuits are turned off, except the internal reference, clock, bias circuits and SPI interface. Shutdown Mode: All circuits including reference and clock are turned off except the SPI interface. Power dissipation (typical) is calculated by using the following equation: (a) During operation: PDISS = VDD18 x (IDD_A18 + IDD_D18) + VDD12 x (IDD_A12 + IDD_D12), where IDD_D18 is the digital I/O current for LVDS or CMOS output. VDD18 = 1.8V and VDD12 = 1.2V are used for typical value calculation. (b) During Standby mode: PDISS_STANDBY = (ISTANDBY_AN + ISTANDBY_DIG) x 1.2V (c) During Shutdown mode: PDISS_SHDN = IDD_SHDN x 1.2V This parameter is ensured by design, but not 100% tested in production. This parameter is ensured by characterization, but not 100% tested in production. See Table 4-2 for details. Differential reference voltage output at REF1+/- and REF0+/- pins. VREF1 = VREF1+ - VREF1-. VREF0 = VREF0+ - VREF0-. These references should not be driven. Input capacitance refers to the effective capacitance between one differential input pin pair. Channel cross-talk is measured when AIN = -1 dBFS at 12 MHz is applied on one channel while other channel(s) are terminated with 50. See Figure 3-39 for details. The ADC core conversion rate. In multi-channel mode, the conversion rate of an individual channel is fS/N, where N is the number of input channels used. See Figure 4-8 for the details of the clock input circuit.

MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 4.0 THEORY OF OPERATION output is also available in 16-bit octal-channel mode. In this mode, each input channel is output serially over a unique LVDS pair. The MCP37231/21-200 and MCP37D31/21-200 device family is a low-power, 16-/14-bit, 200 Msps Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with built-in features including Harmonic Distortion Correction (HDC), DAC Noise Cancellation (DNC), Dynamic Element Matching (DEM) and flash error calibration. 4.1 Figure 4-1 shows the simplified block diagram of the ADC core. The first stage consists of a 17-level flash ADC, multi-level Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) and a residue amplifier with a gain of 8. Stages 2 to 6 consist of a 9-level (3-bit) flash ADC, multi-level DAC and a residue amplifier with a gain of 4. The last stage is a 9-level 3-bit flash ADC. Dither is added in each of the first three stages.The digital outputs from all seven stages are combined in a digital error correction logic block and digitally processed for the final output. Depending on the product number selection, the device offers various built-in digital signal post-processing features, such as FIR decimation filters, Digital DownConversion (DDC), Fractional Delay Recovery (FDR), continuous CW beamforming and digital gain and offset correction. These built-in advanced digital signal post-processing sub-blocks, which are individually controlled, can be used for various special applications such as I/Q demodulation, digital down-conversion, and ultrasound imaging. The first three stages include patented digital calibration features: * Harmonic Distortion Correction (HDC) algorithm that digitally measures and cancels ADC errors arising from distortions introduced by the residue amplifiers * DAC Noise Cancellation (DNC) algorithm that corrects DAC's nonlinearity errors * Dynamic Element Matching (DEM) which randomizes DAC errors, thereby converting harmonic distortion to white noise When the device is first powered-up, it performs internal calibrations by itself and runs with default settings. From this point, the user can configure the device registers using the SPI command. In multi-channel mode, the input channel selection and MUX scan order are user-configurable, and the inputs are sequentially multiplexed by the input MUX defined by the scan order. The device samples the analog input on the rising edge of the clock. The digital output code is available after 28 clock cycles of data latency. Latency will increase if any of the various digital signal post-processing (DSPP) options are enabled. These digital correction algorithms are first applied during the Power-on Reset sequence and then operate in the background during normal operation of the pipelined ADC. These algorithms automatically track and correct any environmental changes in the ADC. More details of the system correction algorithms are shown in Section 4.13 "System Calibration". The output data can be coded in two's complement or offset binary format, and randomized using the user option. Data can be output using either the CMOS or LVDS (LowVoltage Differential Signaling) interface.

The supply pins require an appropriate bypass capacitor (ceramic) to attenuate the high-frequency noise present in most application environments. The ground pins provide the current return path. These ground pins must connect to the ground plane of the PCB through a low-impedance connection. A ferrite bead can be used to separate analog and digital supply lines if a common power supply is used for both analog and digital sections. The voltage regulators for each supply need to have sufficient output current capabilities to support a stable ADC operation. 4.2.1 POWER-UP SEQUENCE Figure 2-7 shows the internal power-up sequence events of the device. The power-up sequence of the device is initiated by a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit which monitors the analog 1.2V supply voltage (AVDD12): (a) Once the AVDD12 reaches the Power-on Reset threshold (~ 0.8V), there will be a Power-on Reset stabilization period (218 clock cycles) before triggering the power-up calibration (TPCAL). (b) All other supply voltages (AVDD18, DVDD18, DVDD12) must be stabilized before or within the POR stabilization period (TPOR-S). The order that these supply voltages are applied and stabilized will not affect the power-up sequence. DS20005322E-page 42 4.3 Input Sample Rate In single-channel mode, the device samples the input at full speed. In multi-channel mode, the core ADC is multiplexed between the selected channels. The resulting effective sample rate per channel is shown in Equation 4-1. For example, with 200 Msps operation, the input is sampled at the full 200 Msps rate if a single channel is used, or at 25 Msps per channel if all eight channels are used. EQUATION 4-1: SAMPLE RATE PER CHANNEL Full ADC Sample Rate fs Sample Rate/Channel = --------------------------------------------------------------------Number of Channel Used 4.4 Analog Input Channel Selection The analog input is auto-multiplexed sequentially as defined by the channel-order selection bit setting. The user can configure the input MUX using the following registers: * SEL_NCH<2:0> in Address 0x01 (Register 5-2): Select the total number of input channels to be used. * Addresses 0x7D - 0x7F (Registers 5-37-5-39): Select auto-scan channel order. The user can select up to eight input channels. If all eight input channels are to be used, SEL_NCH<2:0> is set to 000 and the input channel sampling order is set using Addresses 0x7D - 0x7F (Registers 5-37-5-39). Regardless of how many channels are selected, all eight channels must be programmed in Addresses 0x7D - 0x7F (Registers 5-37-5-39) without duplication. Program the addresses of the selected channels in sequential order, followed by the unused channels. The order of the unused channels has no effect. The device samples the first N-Channels listed in Addresses 0x7D - 0x7F (Registers 5-37-5-39) sequentially, where N is the total number of channels to be used, defined by the SEL_NCH<2:0>. Table 4-1 shows examples of input channel selection using Addresses 0x7D - 0x7F (Registers 5-37-5-39). 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 Analog Input Circuit 4.5.1 The analog input (AIN) of all MCP37XXX devices is a differential, CMOS switched capacitor sample-and-hold circuit. Figure 4-2 shows the equivalent input structure of the device. The input impedance of the device is mostly governed by the input sampling capacitor (CS = 6 pF) and input sampling frequency (fS). The performance of the device can be affected by the input signal conditioning network (see Figure 4-3). The analog input signal source must have sufficiently low output impedance to charge the sampling capacitors (CS = 6 pF) within one clock cycle. A small external resistor (e.g., 5) in series with each input is recommended, as it helps reduce transient currents and dampens ringing behavior. A small differential shunt capacitor at the chip side of the resistors may be used to provide dynamic charging currents and may improve performance. The resistors form a low-pass filter with the capacitor and their values must be determined by application requirements and input frequency. The VCM pin provides a common-mode voltage reference (0.9V), which can be used for a center-tap voltage of an RF transformer or balun. If the VCM pin voltage is not used, the user may create a commonmode voltage at mid-supply level (AVDD18/2). ANALOG INPUT DRIVING CIRCUIT 4.5.1.1 Differential Input Configuration The device achieves optimum performance when the input is driven differentially, where common-mode noise immunity and even-order harmonic rejection are significantly improved. If the input is single-ended, it must be converted to a differential signal in order to properly drive the ADC input. The differential conversion and common-mode application can be accomplished by using an RF transformer or balun with a center-tap. Additionally, one or more anti-aliasing filters may be added for optimal noise performance and should be tuned such that the corner frequency is appropriate for the system. Figure 4-3 shows an example of the differential input circuit with transformer. Note that the input-driving circuits are terminated by 50 near the ADC side through a pair of 25 resistors from each input to the common-mode (VCM) from the device. The RF transformer must be carefully selected to avoid artificially high harmonic distortion. The transformer can be damaged if a strong RF input is applied or an RF input is applied while the MCP37XXX is powered-off. The transformer has to be selected to handle sufficient RF input power. Figure 4-4 shows an input configuration example when a differential output amplifier is used. 1 MCP37XXX Hold Sample 50 5 Analog Input CS = 6 pF 3 pF VCM AVDD18 MABAES0060 6 1 1 4 6 MABAES0060 3 3 4 50 25 0.1 F 25 5 AIN- Hold Sample 50 3 pF CS = 6 pF FIGURE 4-3: Configuration.

This single-ended input configuration is not recommended for the best performance. SNR and SFDR performance degrades significantly when the device is operated in a single-ended configuration.

The SENSE pin voltage is used to select the reference voltage source and configure the input full-scale range. A comparator detects the SENSE pin voltage and configures the full-scale input range into one of the three possible modes which are summarized in Table 4-2. Figure 4-6 shows an example of how the SENSE pin should be driven. The SENSE pin can sink or source currents as high as 500 A across all operational conditions. Therefore, it may require a driver circuit, unless the SENSE reference source provides sufficient output current.

SNR/SFDR Performance The SENSE pin is used to configure the full-scale input range of the ADC. Depending on the application conditions, the SNR, SFDR and dynamic range performance are affected by the SENSE pin configuration. Table 4-3 summarizes these settings. * High-Reference Mode This mode is enabled by setting the SENSE pin to AVDD12 (1.2V). This mode provides the highest input full-scale range (2.975 VP-P) and the highest SNR performance. Figure 3-17 and Figure 3-20 show SNR/SFDR versus input amplitude in High-Reference mode. TABLE 4-3: * Low-Reference Mode This mode is enabled by setting the SENSE pin to ground. This mode is suitable for applications which have a smaller input full-scale range. This mode provides improved SFDR characteristics, but SNR is reduced by -6 dB compared to the High-Reference Mode. * SENSE Mode This mode is enabled by driving the SENSE pin with an external voltage source between 0.4V and 0.8V. This mode allows the user to adjust the input full-scale range such that SNR and dynamic range are optimized in a given application system environment. SENSE VS.

Figure 4-8 shows the equivalent clock input circuit. The device has two internal voltage references, and these references are available at pins REF0 and REF1. REF0 is the internal voltage reference for the ADC input stage, while REF1 is for all remaining stages. VTLA-124 Package Device: Figure 4-7 shows the recommended circuit for the REF1 and REF0 pins for the VTLA-124 package. Placing a 2.2 F ceramic capacitor with two additional optional capacitors (22 nF and 220 nF) between the positive and negative reference pins is recommended. The negative reference pin is then grounded through a 220 nF capacitor. The capacitors should be placed as close to the ADC as possible with short and thick traces. Vias on the PCB are not recommended for this reference pin circuit.

Equivalent Clock Input The clock input amplitude range is between 300 mVP-P and 800 mVP-P. When a single-ended clock source is used, an RF transformer or balun can be used to convert the clock into a differential signal for the best ADC performance. Figure 4-9 shows an example clock input circuit. The common-mode voltage is internally generated and a center-tap is not required. The back-to-back Schottky diodes across the transformer's secondary current limit the clock amplitude to approximately 0.8 VP-P differential. This limiter helps prevent large voltage swings of the input clock while preserving the high slew rate that is critical for low jitter. 2.2 F CLK+ 220nF 220 nF Clock Source Coilcraft WBC1-1TL 6 1 4 3 50 0.1 F FIGURE 4-7: External Circuit for Voltage Reference and VBG pins for the VTLA-124 Package.

MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 4.6.1 CLOCK JITTER AND SNR PERFORMANCE In a high-speed pipelined ADC, the SNR performance is directly limited by thermal noise and clock jitter. Thermal noise is independent of input clock and dominant term at low-input frequency. On the other hand, the clock jitter becomes a dominant term as input frequency increases. Equation 4-2 shows the SNR jitter component, which is expressed in terms of the input frequency (fIN) and the total amount of clock jitter (TJitter), where TJitter is a sum of the following two components: * Input clock jitter (phase noise) * Internal aperture jitter (due to noise of the clock input buffer). EQUATION 4-2: SNR VS.CLOCK JITTER SNR Jitter dBc = - 20 log 10 2 f IN T Jitter where the total jitter term (Tjitter) is given by: T Jitter = 2 2 t Jitter , Clock Input + t Aperture , ADC The clock jitter can be minimized by using a high-quality clock source and jitter cleaners as well as a bandpass filter at the external clock input, while a faster clock slew rate improves the ADC aperture jitter. With a fixed amount of clock jitter, the SNR degrades as the input frequency increases. This is illustrated in Figure 4-10. If the input frequency increases from 10 MHz to 20 MHz, the maximum achievable SNR degrades about 6 dB. For every decade (e.g. 10 MHz to 100 MHz), the maximum achievable SNR due to clock jitter is reduced by 20 dB. 160 Jitter = 0.0625 ps 140 Jitter = 0.125 ps SNR (dBc) 120 Jitter = 0.25 ps Jitter = 0.5 ps Jitter = 1 ps 100 80 60 40 20 0 1 FIGURE 4-10: 10 100 Input Frequency (fIN, MHz) 1000 SNR vs. Clock Jitter. 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

When the device is first powered-up, the external clock input (CLK+/-) is directly used for the ADC timing as default. After this point, the user can enable the DLL or PLL circuit by setting the register bits. Figure 4-11 shows the clock control blocks. Table 4-4 shows an example of how to select the ADC clock depending on the operating conditions.

The sampling frequency (fS) of the ADC core comes directly from the input clock buffer Output data is synchronized with the output data clock (DCLK), which comes directly from the input clock buffer. While using decimation, output clock rate and phase delay are controlled by the digital clock output control block The sampling frequency (fS) is generated by the PLL circuit.

DS20005322E-page 51 MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 4.7.1 USING DLL MODE Using the DLL block is the best option when output clock phase control is needed while the clock multiplication and digital decimation are not required. When the DLL block is enabled, the user can control the input clock Duty Cycle Correction (DCC) and the output clock phase delay. See the DLL block in Figure 4-11 for details. Table 4-5 summarizes the DLL control register bits. In addition, see Table 4-21 for the output clock phase control.

If decimation is used, the output clock phase delay is controlled using DCLK_PHDLY_DEC<2:0> in Address 0x64. Input Clock Duty Cycle Correction The ADC performance is sensitive to the clock duty cycle. The ADC achieves optimum performance with 50% duty cycle, and all performance characteristics are ensured when the duty cycle is 50% with 1% tolerance. When CLK_SOURCE = 0, the external clock is used as the sampling frequency (fS) of the ADC core. When the external input clock is not high-quality (for example, duty cycle is not 50%), the user can enable the internal clock duty cycle correction circuit by setting the EN_DUTY bit in Address 0x52 (Register 5-7). When duty cycle correction is enabled (EN_DUTY=1), only the falling edge of the clock signal is modified (rising edge is unaffected). Because the duty cycle correction process adds additional jitter noise to the clock signal, this option is recommended only when an asymmetrical input clock source causes significant performance degradation or when the input clock source is not stable. Note: The clock duty cycle correction is only applicable when the DLL block is enabled (EN_DLL = 1). It is not applicable for the PLL output. 4.7.1.2 DLL Block Reset Event The DLL must be reset if the clock frequency is changed. The DLL reset is controlled by using the RESET_DLL bit in Address 0x52 (Register 5-7). The DLL has an automatic reset with the following events: * During power-up: Stay in reset until the RESET_DLL bit is cleared. * When a SOFT_RESET command is issued while the DLL is enabled: the RESET_DLL bit is automatically cleared after reset. 4.7.2 USING PLL MODE The PLL block is mainly used when clock multiplication is needed. When CLK_SOURCE = 1, the sampling frequency (fS) of the ADC core is coming from the internal PLL block. The recommended PLL output clock range is from 80 MHz to 250 MHz. The external clock input is used as the PLL reference frequency. The range of the clock input frequency is from 5 MHz to 250 MHz. Note: 4.7.2.1 The PLL mode is only supported for sampling frequencies between 80 MHz and 250 MHz. PLL Output Frequency and Output Control Parameters The internal PLL can provide a stable timing output ranging from 80 MHz to 250 MHz. Figure 4-11 shows the PLL block using a charge-pump-based integer N PLL DS20005322E-page 52 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 and the PLL output control block. The PLL block includes various user control parameters for the desired output frequency. Table 4-6 summarizes the PLL control register bits and Table 4-7 shows an example of register bit settings for the PLL charge pump and loop filter. The PLL block consists of: * Reference Frequency Divider (R) * Prescaler - which is a feedback divider (N) * Phase/Frequency Detector (PFD) * Current Charge Pump * Loop Filter - a 3rd order RC low-pass filter * Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) The external clock at the CLK+ and CLK- pins is the input frequency to the PLL. The range of input frequency (fREF) is from 5 MHz to 250 MHz. This input frequency is divided by the reference frequency divider (R) which is controlled by the 10-bit-wide PLL_REFDIV<9:0> setting. In the feedback loop, the VCO frequency is divided by the prescaler (N) using PLL_PRE<11:0>. The ADC core sampling frequency (fS), ranging from 80 MHz to 250 MHz, is obtained after the output frequency divider (PLL_OUTDIV<3:0>). For stable operation, the user needs to configure the PLL with the following limits: * Input clock frequency (fREF) = 5 MHz to 250 MHz * Charge pump input frequency = 4 MHz to 50 MHz EQUATION 4-3: N fVCO = ---- fREF = 1.075 GHz to 1.325 GHz R Where: N = 1 to 4095 controlled by PLL_PRE<11:0> R = 1 to 1023 controlled by PLL_REFDIV<9:0> See Addresses 0x54 to 0x57 (Registers 5-9 - 5-12) for these bits settings. The tuning range of the VCO is 1.075 GHz to 1.325 GHz. N and R values must be chosen so the VCO is within this range. In general, lower values of the VCO frequency (fVCO) and higher values of the charge pump frequency (fQ) should be chosen to optimize the clock jitter. Once the VCO output frequency is determined to be within this range, set the final ADC sampling frequency (fS) with the PLL output divider using PLL_OUTDIV<3:0>. Equation 4-4 shows how to obtain the ADC core sampling frequency: EQUATION 4-4: * VCO output frequency = 1.075 to1.325 GHz * PLL output frequency after output divider = 80 MHz to 250 MHz The charge pump is controlled by the PFD, and forces sink (DOWN) or source (UP) current pulses onto the loop filter. The charge pump bias current is controlled by the PLL_CHAGPUMP<3:0> bits, approximately 25 A per step. The loop filter consists of a 3rd order passive RC filter. Table 4-7 shows the recommended settings of the charge pump and loop filter parameters, depending on the charge pump input frequency range (output of the reference frequency divider). When the PLL is locked, it tracks the input frequency (fREF) with the ratio of dividers (N/R). The PLL operating status is monitored by the PLL status indication bits: <PLL_VCOL_STAT> and <PLL_VCOH_STAT> in Address 0xD1 (Register 5-80). Equation 4-3 shows the VCO output frequency (fVCO) as a function of the two dividers and reference frequency: 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

The PLL can be calibrated by toggling the PLL_CAL_TRIG bit in Address 0x6B (Register 5-27) or by sending a SOFT_RESET command (See Address 0x00, Register 5-1). The PLL calibration status is observed by the PLL_CAL_STAT bit in Address 0xD1 (Register 5-80). 4.7.2.3 Monitoring of PLL Drifts The PLL drifts can be monitored using the status monitoring bits in Address 0xD1 (Register 5-80). Under normal operation, the PLL maintains a lock across all temperature ranges. It is not necessary to actively monitor the PLL unless extreme variations in the supply voltage are expected or if the input reference clock frequency has been changed.

These options are individually enabled or disabled by setting the Configuration bits. Table 4-9 summarizes the digital signal post-processing (DSPP) options that are available for each device family. TABLE 4-9: DIGITAL SIGNAL POST PROCESSING (DSPP) OPTIONS Digital Signal Post Processing Option Available Operating Mode Fractional Delay Recovery (FDR) Dual and octal-channel modes FIR Decimation Filters * Single and dual-channel modes * CW octal-channel mode * DDC for I and Q data Digital Gain and Offset correction per channel Available for all channels Digital-Down Conversion (DDC) * Single and dual-channel modes * CW octal-channel mode Continuous Wave (CW) Beamforming CW octal-channel mode 4.8.1 FRACTIONAL DELAY RECOVERY FOR DUAL- AND OCTAL-CHANNEL MODES The FDR feature is available in dual and octal-channel modes only. When FDR is enabled, the built-in highorder, band-limited interpolation filter compensates for the time delay between input samples of different channels. Due to the finite bandwidth of the interpolation filter, the fractional delay recovery is not guaranteed for input frequencies near the Nyquist frequency (fS/2). For example, in dual-channel mode, FDR can operate correctly for input frequencies in the range from 0 to 0.45*fS (or from 0.55*fs to fS if the input is in the 2nd Nyquist band). In octal-channel mode, FDR can operate correctly for input frequencies in the range from 0 to 0.38*fS. See Table 4-11 for the summary of the input bandwidth requirement for FDR. The FDR process takes place in the digital domain and requires 59 clock cycles of processing time. Therefore, the output data latency is also increased by 59 clock periods.

Figure 4-15 shows a simplified decimation filter block, and Table 4-13 shows the register settings. The decimation rate is controlled by FIR_A<8:0> and FIR_B<7:0> register settings (Addresses 0x7A - 0x7C: Registers 5-34 - ). These registers are thermometer encoded. In single-channel mode, FIR B is disabled and only FIR A is used. In this mode, the maximum programmable decimation rate is 512x using nine cascaded decimation stages. In dual-channel mode or when using the Digital DownConversion (DDC) in I/Q mode, both FIR A and FIR B are used (see Figure 4-15). In this case, both channels are set to the same decimation rate. Note that stage 1A in FIR A is unused: the user must clear FIR_A<0> in Address 0x7A (Register 5-34). In dual-channel mode, the maximum programmable decimation rate is up to 256x, which is half the single-channel decimation rate (512x). TABLE 4-12: Decimation Rate DECIMATION RATE VS. SNR PERFORMANCE SNR (dBFS) 16-Bit Output Mode 18-Bit Output Mode(1) 1x 74.5 74.5 2x 76.7 76.7 4x 79.5 79.5 8x 82.3 82.3 16x 84.8 84.8 32x 87.1 87.4 64x 89.2 89.7 128x 91.0 91.8 256x 92.0 93.2 92.3 93.5 512x Note 1: DM1DM2 bit is enabled. The overall SNR performance can be improved with higher decimation rate. In theory, 3 dB improvement is expected with each successive stage of decimation (2x per stage), but the actual improvement is approximately 2.5 dB per stage due to finite attenuation in the FIR filters. When using a high decimation rate option (128x or above) in 16-bit mode, the user may consider enabling two additional LSb output bits using the DM1DM2 bit setting in Address 0x68 (Register 5-26). This results in 18-bit resolution. The recommended decimation rates for adding these two additional bits are 128x or above. This option is available for 16-bit devices only (MCP37231-200 and MCP37D31-200). Table 4-12 summarizes the decimation rate versus SNR performance in 16-bit and 18-bit output modes. The results indicate that the SNR is marginally improved with higher decimation rates. Therefore, the user may benefit from the 18-bit output mode when a high decimation rate is used. When a low decimation rate is used, there is no benefit to SNR or SFDR performance although the 18-bit output is enabled. Table 4-13 summarizes the related control parameters for using decimation filters. DS20005322E-page 58 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 4.8.2.1 Output Data Rate and Clock Phase Control When Decimation is Used When decimation is used, it also reduces the output clock rate and output bandwidth by a factor equal to the decimation rate applied: the output clock rate is therefore no longer equal to the ADC sampling clock. The user needs to adjust the output clock and data rates in Address 0x02 (Register 5-3) based on the decimation applied. This allows the output data to be synchronized to the output data clock. Phase shifts in the output clock can be achieved using DCLK_PHDLY_DEC<2:0> in Address 0x64 (Register 5-22). Only four output sampling phases are available when a decimation rate of 2x is used, while all eight clock phases are available for other decimation rates. See Section 4.12.9 "Output Data and Clock Rates" for more details. 4.8.2.2 Using Decimation with CW Beamforming and Digital DownConversion Decimation can be used in conjunction with CW octalchannel mode or DDC. In CW octal-channel mode operation, the eight input channels are summed into a single channel prior to entering the decimation filters. When DDC is enabled, the I and Q outputs can be decimated using the same signal path for the dualchannel mode: I and Q data are fed into Channel A and B, respectively. In DDC mode, the half-band filter already includes a 2x decimation rate. Therefore, the maximum decimation rate setting for I/Q filtering is 128x for the FIR_A<8:1> and FIR_B<7:0>.

MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 4.8.3 DIGITAL DOWN-CONVERSION (MCP37D31/21-200 ONLY) Example: If the ADC is sampling an input at 200 Msps, but the user is only interested in a 5 MHz span which is centered at 67 MHz, the digital down-conversion may be used to mix the sampled ADC data with 67 MHz to convert it to DC. The resulting signal can then be decimated by 16x such that the bandwidth of the ADC output is 6.25 MHz (200 Msps/16x decimation gives 12.5 Msps with 6.25 MHz Nyquist bandwidth). If fS/8 mode is selected, then a single 25 Msps channel is output, where 6.25 MHz in the output data corresponds to 67 MHz at the ADC input. If I/Q mode is selected, then two 12.5 Msps channels are output, where DC corresponds to 67 MHz and the channels represent inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) components of the downconversion. The Digital Down-Conversion (DDC) feature is available in single-, dual- and CW octal-channel modes in the MCP37D31/21-200. This feature can be optionally combined with the decimation filter and used to: * translate the input frequency spectrum to a lower frequency band * remove the unwanted out-of-band portion * output the resulting signal as either I/Q data or as a real signal centered at 25% of the output data rate. Figure 4-16 and Figure 4-17 show the DDC configuration for single- and dual-channel DDC mode, respectively. The DDC includes a 32-bit, complex numerically controlled oscillator (NCO), a selectable (high/low) half-band filter, optional decimation, and two output modes (I/Q or fS/8). 4.8.3.1 Single-Channel DDC Figure 4-16 shows the single-channel DDC configuration. Each of these processing sub-blocks are individually controlled. Examples of setting registers for selected output type are shown in Tables 4-14 and 4-15. Frequency translation is accomplished with the NCO. The NCO frequency is programmable from 0 Hz to fS. Phase and amplitude dither can be enabled to improve spurious performance of the NCO. This DDC feature can be used in a variety of highspeed signal-processing applications, including digital radio, wireless base stations, radar, cable modems, digital video, MRI imaging, etc. I or IDEC (Note 5) Q or QDEC FIR_A<8:1> (Note 3) I CH.

Otherwise, I/Q of each channel will be output separately, similar to a four-channel input device with the WCK output pin toggling synchronously with the Idata of Channel A. Note that the NCO phase can be adjusted uniquely for each of the two input channels (see Figure 4-18). Examples of setting registers for selected output type are shown in Tables 4-16 and 417. Figure 4-17 shows the dual-channel DDC configuration. Each channel includes the same processing elements as shown in the single-channel DDC, however the I/Q outputs cannot be separately decimated since the device only supports two channels of decimation (four would be required for I/Q of Channel A and I/Q of Channel B).

MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 4.8.3.3 Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) The on-board Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) provides the frequency reference for the in-phase and quadrature mixers in the digital down-converter (DDC). The NCO serves as a quadrature local oscillator, capable of producing an NCO frequency of between 0 Hz and fS with a resolution of fS/232, where fS is the ADC core sampling frequency.

The following equation is NCO_TUNE<31:0> register: EQUATION 4-5: used to set the NCO FREQUENCY 32 Mod f NCO f S NCO_TUNE<31:0> = round 2 ------------------------------------ fS Where: fS = sampling frequency (Hz) fNCO = desired NCO frequency (Hz) Mod (fNCO, fS) = gives the remainder of fNCO/fS Mod() is a remainder function.

In principle, these will dither the quantization error created by the use of digital circuits in the mixer and local oscillator, thus reducing spurs at the expense of noise. In practice, the DDC circuitry has been designed with sufficient noise and spurious performance for most applications. In the worst-case scenario, the NCO has an SFDR of greater than 116 dB when the amplitude dither is enabled, and 112 dB when disabled. Although the SNR ( 93 dB) of the DDC is not significantly affected by the dithering option, using the NCO with dithering options enabled is always recommended for the best performance. 4.8.3.5 NCO for fS/8 and fS/(8xDER) The output of the first down-conversion block (DDC1) is a complex signal (comprising I and Q data) which can then be optionally decimated further up to 128x to provide both a lower output data rate and input channel filtering. If fS/8 mode is enabled, a second mixer stage (DDC2) will convert the I/Q signals to a real signal centered at half of the current Nyquist frequency; i.e., if the output data rate in I/Q mode is 25 Msps per channel (12.5 MHz Nyquist), then in fS/8 mode the output data rate would be 50 Msps (25 Msps each for I and Q), and the signal would be re-centered around 12.5 MHz. In single-channel mode, this is done at the output of the decimation filters (if used). In dual-channel mode, this must be done prior to the decimation. DS20005322E-page 63 MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 When decimation is enabled, the I/Q outputs are upconverted by fS/(8xDER), where DER is the additional decimation rate added by the FIR decimation filters. This provides a decimated output signal centered at fS/8 or fS/(8xDER) in the frequency domain. 4.8.3.8 4.8.3.6 The user can select high- or low-pass half-band filter using the HBFILTER_A and HBFILTER_B bits in Address 0x80 (Register 5-40). These filters provide greater than 90 dB of attenuation in the attenuation band and less than 1 mdB (10-3 dB) of ripple in the passband region of 20% of the input sampling rate. For example, for an ADC sample rate of 200 MSPS, these filters provide less than 1 mdB of ripple over a bandwidth of 40 MHz. NCO Phase Offset Control The user can add phase offset to the NCO frequency using the NCO phase offset control registers (Addresses 0x86 to 0x95, Registers 5-46 - 5-61). CH(n)_NCO_PHASE<15:0> is the 16-bit-wide NCO phase offset control parameter for Channel n. A 0x0000 value in the register corresponds to no offset, and a 0xFFFF corresponds to an offset of 359.995. The phase offset can be controlled with 0.005 per step. The following equation is used to program the NCO phase offset register: EQUATION 4-6: NCO PHASE OFFSET CH(n)_NCO_PHASE<15:0> = 2 16 Offset Value ( --------------------------------------- Where: 360 The filter responses shown in Figures 4-15 and 4-16 indicate a ripple of 0.5 mdB and an alias rejection of 90 dB. The output of the half-band filter is a DC-centered complex signal (I and Q). This I and Q signal is then carried to the next down-conversion stage (DDC2) for frequency translation (up-conversion), if the DDC is enabled. Note: n = channel number Half-Band Filter The frequency translation is followed by a half-band digital filter, which is used to reduce the sample rate by a factor of two while rejecting aliases that fall into the band of interest. Offset Value () = desired phase offset value in degrees The half-band filter delays the data output by 80 clock cycles: 2 (due to decimation) x 40 cycles (due to group delay) In-Band Ripple 0.0005 A decimal number is used for the binary contents of CH(n)_NCO_PHASE<15:0>. 0 In-Phase and Quadrature Signals When the first down-conversion is enabled, it produces In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) components as shown in Equation 4-7: EQUATION 4-7: I AND Q SIGNALS I = ADC COS 2 f NCO t + (a) Q = ADC SIN 2 fNCO t + (b) where: CH(n)_NCO_PHASE<15:0> = 360 ---------------------------------------------------------------------16 (c) 2 = 0.005493164 CH(n)_NCO_PHASE<15:0> t = k/fS, with k =1, 2, 3,..., n fNCO = NCO frequency I and Q outputs are interleaved where I data is output on the rising edge of the WCK. If I and Q outputs are selected in dual-channel mode with DDC enabled, I data of Channel 0 is output at the rising edge of WCK, followed by Q data of Channel 0, then I and Q data of Channel 1 in the same way.

See Figure 4-15 for details. DER is the decimation rate setting of the FIR A and FIR B filters. Divided by 2 is due to the 2x decimation included in the Half-Band Filter A.

Figure 4-21 shows a simplified block diagram of the digital offset and gain settings. Offset is applied prior to the gain. Offset and gain adjustments occur prior to DDC, Decimation or FDR when these features are used. 4.9.1 DIGITAL GAIN SETTINGS Note 1: Digital Offset Setting: Register mapping (0x9E - 0xA7) to the corresponding channel is not sequential to the channel order defined by CH_ORDER<23:0>, except for the octal-channel mode. See Table 4-18 for details. DIGITAL OFFSET SETTINGS The offset can be corrected using a 16-bit-wide global offset correction register (0x66) for all channels, offset correction registers for individual channels (0x9E0xA7) or by combining both global and individual offset correction registers. The offset control for individual channels can be used with DIG_OFFSET_WEIGHT <1:0> in 0xA7. The corresponding registers for each correction are shown in Figure 4-21. 2: Gain and NCO Phase Offset: Register mapping to the corresponding channel is sequential to the channel order defined by CH_ORDER<23:0>.

MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 4.10 Continuous Wave (CW) Beamforming and Ultrasound Doppler Signal Processing Using CW Octal-Channel Mode (MCP37D31/21-200 only) In modern ultrasound medical applications, large numbers of transducers are often used. The signals from these sensors are then coherently combined for higher transducer gain and directivity. The signals from each sensor arrive at the detection device with a different time delay. Also, in multi-channel scanning operations using the MUX, there is a time delay between acquiring input signals (see Section 4.8.1 "Fractional Delay Recovery for Dual- and Octal-Channel Modes"). These time delays may need to be corrected before all input signals are combined for the signal processing. Digital beamforming is a digital signal processing technique that requires summing all input signals from different channels after correcting for time delay. The time-delay correction involves the phase alignment of the detected signals with respect to a reference. HV Amp DAC Along with beamforming, many modern medical ultrasound devices support Doppler imaging, which processes phase information in addition to the classical magnitude detection (for brightness imaging). Ultrasound Doppler signal processing is used to determine movement in the body as represented by blood flow, which can help diagnose the functioning of a heart valve or blood vessel, etc. In a traditional ultrasound system, all of these functions are typically accomplished with discrete components. Figure 4-23 shows an example of an ultrasound system implementation using various specialized components. The MCP37D31/21-200 device has a built-in feature that can perform some of the functions that are done traditionally using extra components. Continuous wave (CW) digital beamforming and Doppler signal processing features are available, but these are offered in octal-channel operation only. Figure 4-22 shows a simplified block diagram for the ultrasound CW beamforming with DDC I/Q decimation. Note that the sub-blocks shown after the MUX are commonly used for all input channels.

DS20005322E-page 71 MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 4.10.1 BEAMFORMING Beamforming is achieved by scanning all inputs while correcting the phase of each channel with respect to a reference. This can be done using: * Fractional Delay Recovery (FDR) * Phase offset settings of each individual channel * Gain setting per channel While the CW input channel is multiplexed sequentially, the phase offset can be added to the NCO output (each channel individually). CH(n)_NCO_PHASE<15:0>, in Addresses 0x86 to 0x95 (Registers 5-46 - 5-61), corrects the time delay of the incoming signals with respect to the reference. The phase-compensated input signal is then downconverted by a wide dynamic range I/Q demodulator. The digital beamforming of the inputs is then obtained by summing I and Q data from individual channels. The combined I and Q data are fed to the half-band filter. Equation 4-8 shows the I and Q data of an individual channel with phase correction (phase offset), and the resulting digital beamforming signal. The processing blocks after the digital beamforming are the same as the sub-blocks used in single-channel operation described in Section 4.8.3.1 "SingleChannel DDC", except only limited decimation rates of the FIR A and FIR B filters are used due to the processing time requirement for summing the input signals from all channels. EQUATION 4-8: BEAMFORMING SIGNALS I CH n = ADC COS 2 f NCO t + n Q CH n = ADC SIN 2 fNCO t + n N I = ICH n n=0 N Q = 4.10.2 ULTRASOUND DOPPLER SIGNAL PROCESSING Doppler shift measurement requires summing the input signals from multiple transducer channels and mixing them with a phase-controlled local oscillator frequency. The resulting low-frequency output is then centered near DC and can measure a Doppler shift produced by moving objects, such as blood flow and changes in blood pressure in arteries, etc. In traditional Doppler measurement, many discrete analog components are typically used along with a high-resolution ADC (~18-bit range). This device has unique built-in features that are suitable for ultrasound Doppler shift measurements. By utilizing these features, system engineers can reduce many discrete components which are otherwise necessary for an ultrasound Doppler measurement system. The following built-in digital signal post-processing (DSPP) features in the MCP37D31/21-200 can be effectively used for the ultrasound Doppler signal processing applications: * Fractional Delay Recovery (FDR): Correct the time delay of signal sampled between channels. See details in Section 4.8.1 "Fractional Delay Recovery for Dual- and Octal-Channel Modes". * Digital Gain and Offset adjustment for each channel: See details in Section 4.9 "Digital Offset and Digital Gain Settings". * Down-Conversion for each channel with a unique phase of the same NCO frequency prior to summing the eight channels as shown in Figure 4-23. * After down-conversion by the DDC, the resulting signal can then be decimated to achieve very high SNR in a narrow bandwidth.

LVDS mode is recommended for data rates above 80 Msps. The digital output mode is selected by the OUTPUT_MODE<1:0> bits in Address 0x62 (Register 5-20). Figures 2-1 - 2-6 show the timing diagrams of the digital output. 4.12.1 FULL RATE CMOS MODE In full-rate CMOS mode, the data outputs (Q15 to Q0, DM1 and DM2), overrange indicator (OVR), word clock (WCK) and the data output clock (DCLK+, DCLK-) have CMOS output levels. The digital output should drive minimal capacitive loads. If the load capacitance is larger than 10 pF, a digital buffer should be used. DS20005322E-page 74 4.12.2 DOUBLE DATA RATE LVDS MODE In double-data-rate LVDS mode, the output is a parallel data stream which changes on each edge of the output clock. See Figure 2-2 for details. * Even-bit first option: Available for all resolution options including 18-bit option. See Figure 2-2 for details. * MSb-first option: Available for the 16-bit option only. See Figure 2-3 for details. In multi-channel configuration, the data is output sequentially with the WCK that is synchronized to the first sampled channel. The device outputs the following LVDS output pairs: * Output Data: - 16-/18-bit mode: Q7+/Q7- through Q0+/Q0- DM+/DM- (18-bit mode only) - 14-bit mode: Q6+/Q6- through Q0+/Q0* OVR/WCK * DCLK+/DCLKA 100 differential termination resistor is required for each LVDS output pin pair. The termination resistor should be located as close as possible to the LVDS receiver. By default, the outputs are standard LVDS levels: 3.5 mA output current with a 1.15V output common-mode voltage on a 100 differential load. See Address 0x63 (Register 5-21) for more details of the LVDS mode control. 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 Note: 4.12.3 Output Data Rate in LVDS Mode: In octal-channel mode, the input sample rate per channel is fS/8. Therefore, the output data rate required to shift out all 16 bits in DDR is still equivalent to fS. For example, if fS = 200 Msps, each channel's sample rate is fS/8 = 25 Msps, and the output clock rate (DCLK) for 16-bit DDR output is 200 MHz. Each channel's data is serialized by the data serializer, and the outputs are available through eight LVDS output lanes. Each differential LVDS output pair holds a single input channel's data, and clocks out data with double data rate (DDR), which is synchronized with WCK/OVR bit: st * Q7+/Q7- pair: 1 channel selected * Q6+/Q6- pair: 2nd channel selected * * * Q0+/Q0- pair: last channel selected OVERRANGE BIT (OVR) The input overrange status bit is asserted (logic high) when the analog input has exceeded the full-scale range of the ADC in either the positive or negative direction. In LVDS DDR Output mode, the OVR bit is multiplexed with the word clock (WCK) output bit such that OVR is output on the falling edge of the data output clock and WCK on the rising edge. The OVR bit has the same pipeline latency as the ADC data bits. In multi-channel mode, the OVR is output independently for each input channel and is synchronized to the data. In serialized LVDS mode (for 16-bit octal channel), the MSb is asserted coincident with the WCK rising edge. OVR will be asserted if any of the channels are overranged, but it does not specify which channel is overranged. See Address 0x68 (Register 5-26) for OVR and WCK control options. If DSPP options are enabled, OVR pipeline latency will be unaffected; however, the data will incur additional delay. This has the effect of allowing the OVR indicator to precede the affected data. 4.12.5 4.12.6 LVDS OUTPUT POLARITY CONTROL In LVDS mode, the output polarity can be controlled independently for each LVDS pair. Table 4-20 summarizes the LVDS output polarity control register bits. TABLE 4-20: SERIALIZED LVDS MODE This output mode is only available for octal-channel operation with 16-bit data output, and uses eight output lanes: a single LVDS pair for each channel output as shown in Figure 2-6. 4.12.4 multiplexed with the OVR bit. See Address 0x07 (Register 5-5) and Address 0x68 (Register 5-26) for OVR and WCK control options. WORD CLOCK (WCK) The word clock output bit indicates the start of a new data set. In single-channel mode, this bit is disabled except for I/Q output mode. In DDR output with multichannel mode, it is always asserted coincidentally with the data from the first sampled channel, and 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

This current can be adjusted by using the LVDS_IMODE<2:0> bit setting in Address 0x63 (Register 5-21). Available output drive currents are 1.8 mA, 3.5 mA, 5.4 mA and 7.2 mA. 4.12.8 OPTIONAL LVDS DRIVER INTERNAL TERMINATION In most cases, using an external 100 termination resistor will give excellent LVDS signal integrity. In addition, an optional internal 100 termination resistor can be enabled by setting the LVDS_LOAD bit in Address 0x63 (Register 5-21). The internal termination helps absorb any reflections caused by imperfect impedance termination at the receiver. 4.12.9 OUTPUT DATA AND CLOCK RATES The user can reduce output data and output clock rates using Address 0x02 (Register 5-3). When decimation or digital down-conversion (DDC) is used, the output data rate has to be reduced to synchronize with the reduced output clock rate. 4.12.10 PHASE SHIFTING OF OUTPUT CLOCK (DCLK) In full-rate CMOS mode, the data output bit transition occurs at the rising edge of DCLK+, so the falling edge of DCLK+ can be used to latch the output data. In double-data-rate LVDS mode, the data transition occurs at both the rising and falling edges of DCLK+. For adequate setup and hold time when latching the data into the external host device, the user can shift the phase of the digital clock output (DCLK+/DCLK-) relative to the data output bits. DS20005322E-page 75 MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 The output phase shift (delay) is controlled by each unique register depending on which timing source is used or if decimation is used. Table 4-21 shows the output clock phase control registers for each Configuration mode: (a) when DLL is used, (b) when decimation is used, and (c) when PLL is used.

The device includes an output data randomizer option. When this option is enabled, the digital output is randomized by applying an exclusive-OR logic operation between the LSb (D0) and all other data output bits. To decode the randomized data, the reverse operation is applied: an exclusive-OR operation is applied between the LSb (D0) and all other bits. The DCLK, OVR, WCK, DM1, DM2 and LSb (D0) outputs are not affected. Figure 4-25 shows the block diagram of the data randomizer and decoder logic. The output randomizer is enabled by setting the EN_OUT_RANDOM bit in Address 0x07 (Register 5-5).

See TEST_PATTERNS<2:0> in Address 0x62 (Register 5-20) for the predefined test patterns. For the user-defined patterns, Addresses 0x74 - 0x77 (Registers 5-29 - 5-32) can be programmed using the SPI interface. When an output test mode is enabled, the ADC's analog section can still be operational, but does not drive the digital outputs. The outputs are driven only with the selected test pattern. 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

In addition to the output at the Qn[15:0] pins, the two MSbs, PN[15] and PN[14], are copied to OVR and WCK pins, respectively. The two LSbs, PN[1] and PN[0], are also copied to DM1 and DM2 pins, respectively. * 14-Bit Mode: The output PN[15:2] is directly applied to the output pins Qn[13:0].

The system calibration is performed by: * Power-up calibration, which takes place during the Power-on Reset sequence (requires 227 clock cycles) * Background calibration, which takes place during normal operation (per 230 clock cycles). Background calibration time is invisible to the user, and primarily affects the ADC's ability to track variations in ambient temperature. The calibration status is monitored by the CAL pin or the ADC_CAL_STAT bit in Address 0xC0 (Register 579). See Address 0x07 (Register 5-5) and 0x1E (Register 5-6) for time delay control of the autocalibration. Table 4-22 shows the calibration time for various ADC core sample rates.

ADC CORE SAMPLE RATE fS (Msps) 200 150 100 70 50 Power-Up Calibration Time (s) 0.67 0.9 1.34 1.92 2.68 Background Calibration Time (s) 5.37 7.16 10.73 15.34 21.48 4.13.1 RESET COMMAND Although the background calibration will track changes in temperature or supply voltage, changes in clock frequency or register configuration should be followed by a recalibration of the ADC. This can be accomplished via either the Hard or Soft Reset command. The recalibration time is the same as the power-up calibration time (227 clock cycles). Resetting the device is highly recommended when exiting from Shutdown or Standby mode after an extended amount of time. During the reset, the device has the following state: * No ADC output * No change in power-on condition of internal reference * Most of the internal clocks are not distributed * Contents of internal user registers: - Not affected by Soft Reset - Reset to default values by Hardware Reset * Current consumption of the digital section is negligible, but no change in the analog section.

On the rising edge, all internal calibration registers and user registers are initialized to their default states and recalibration of the ADC begins. The recalibration time is the same as the power-up calibration time. See Figure 2-8 for the timing details of the hardware RESET pin. 4.13.1.2 Soft Reset The user can issue a Soft Reset command for a fast recalibration of the ADC by setting the SOFT_RESET bit to `0' in Address 0x00 (Register 5-1). During Soft Reset, all internal calibration registers are initialized to their initial default states. User registers are unaffected. When exiting the Soft Reset (changing from `0' to `1'), an automatic device calibration takes place. 4.14 Power Dissipation and Power Savings The power dissipation of the ADC core is proportional to the sample rate (fS). The digital power dissipation of the CMOS outputs are determined primarily by the strength of the digital drivers and the load condition on each output pin. The maximum digital load current (ILOAD) can be calculated as: EQUATION 4-10: 4.14.1 POWER-SAVING MODES This device has two power-saving modes: * Shutdown * Standby They are set by the SHUTDOWN and STANDBY bits in Address 0x00 (Register 5-1). In Shutdown mode, most of the internal circuitry, including the reference and clock, are turned off with the exception of the SPI interface. During Shutdown, the device consumes 23 mA (typical), primarily due to digital leakage. When exiting from Shutdown, issuing a Soft Reset at the same time is highly recommended. This will perform a fast recalibration of the ADC. The contents of the internal registers are not affected by the Soft Reset. In Standby mode, most of the internal circuitry is disabled except for the reference, clock and SPI interface. If the device has been in standby for an extended period of time, the current calibration value may not be accurate. Therefore, when exiting from Standby mode, executing the device Soft Reset at the same time is highly recommended. CMOS OUTPUT LOAD CURRENT I LOAD = DVDD1.8 f DCLK N CLOAD Where: N = Number of bits CLOAD = Capacitive load of output pin The capacitive load presented at the output pins needs to be minimized to minimize digital power consumption. The output load current of the LVDS output is constant, since it is set by LVDS_IMODE<2:0> in Address 0x63 (Register 5-21). 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

Figure 4-27 shows the system configuration using the AutoSync feature. Three examples with timing diagram are shown in Figure 2-9 - Figure 2-11. Once the devices are synchronized, each device performs internal calibration (TPCAL) before sending out valid data output. Any ADC data output before the calibration is complete should be ignored. Note that the calibration time varies slightly from device to device, and the internal calibration status can be monitored using the CAL pin or ADC_CAL_STAT bit in the Register Address 0xC0. The valid synchronized output is available when all devices complete their own internal calibration. For this reason, the user has two options for the synchronized output: (a) monitor the calibration status of individual devices and wait until all devices complete calibrations or (b) use an external AND gate as shown in Figure 4-26. Master and all Slave devices are synchronized when the AND gate output toggles to "High". The AutoSync feature can be used with the following steps: * Master device is selected by setting SLAVE pin to "GND": SYNC pin becomes output pin. * Slave device is selected by setting SLAVE pin to "High" (or tie to DVDD): SYNC pin becomes input pin. * Feed the Master's SYNC pin output to Slave's SYNC pin. * Use AutoSync mode using (a) Power-On Reset (Figure 2-9), (b) RESET Pin (Figure 2-10), or (c) SOFT RESET bit (Figure 2-11). Note: The maximum sample rate may be affected by the PCB layout due to the parasitic capacitances between the Master and Slave devices. DS20005322E-page 80 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 5.0 SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI) The user can configure the ADC for specific functions or optimized performance by setting the device's internal registers through the serial peripheral interface (SPI). The SPI communication uses three pins: CS, SCLK and SDIO. Table 5-1 summarizes the SPI pin functions. The SCLK is used as a serial timing clock and can be used up to 50 MHz. SDIO (Serial Data Input/Output) is a dual-purpose pin that allows data to be sent or read from the internal registers. The Chip Select pin (CS) enables SPI communication when active-low. The falling edge of CS followed by a rising edge of SCLK determines the start of the SPI communication. When CS is tied to high, SPI communication is disabled and the SPI pins are placed in high-impedance mode. The internal registers are accessible by their address. Figures 5-1 and 5-2 show the SPI data communication protocols for this device with MSb-first and LSb-first options, respectively. It consists of: TABLE 5-1: Pin Name Descriptions CS Chip Select pin. SPI mode is initiated at the falling edge. It needs to maintain active-low for the entire period of the SPI communication. The device exits the SPI communication at the rising edge. SCLK Serial clock input pin. * Writing to the device: Data is latched at the rising edge of SCLK * Reading from the device: Data is latched at the falling edge of SCLK SDIO Serial data input/output pin. This pin is initially an input pin (SDI) during the first 16-bit instruction header. After the instruction header, its I/O status can be changed depending on the R/W bit: * if R/W = 0: Data input pin (SDI) for writing * if R/W = 1: Data output pin (SDO) for reading * 16-bit wide instruction header + Data byte 1 + Data byte 2 + . . . + Data Byte N Table 5-2 summarizes the bit functions. The R/W bit of the instruction header indicates whether the command is a read (`1') or a write (`0'): * If the R/W bit is `1', the SDIO pin changes direction from an input (SDI) to an output (SDO) after the 16-bit wide instruction header. By selecting the R/W bit, the user can write the register or read back the register contents. The W1 and W2 bits in the instruction header indicate the number of data bytes to transmit or receive in the following data frame. Bits A2 - A0 are the SPI device address bits. These bits are used when multiple devices are used in the same SPI bus. A2 is internally hardcoded to `0'. Bits A1 and A0 correspond to the logic level of the ADR1 and ADR0 pins, respectively. Note: In the VTLA-124 package, ADR1 is internally bonded to ground (logic `0'). The R9 - R0 bits represent the starting address of the Configuration register to write or read. The data bytes following the instruction header are the register data. All register data is eight bits wide. Data can be sent in MSb-first mode (default) or in LSb-first mode, which is determined by the <LSb_ FIRST> bit setting in Address 0x00 (Register 5-1). In Write mode, the data is clocked in at the rising edge of the SCLK. In the Read mode, the data is clocked out at the falling edge of the SCLK. 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

Note 1: All address and bit locations that are not included in the following register map table should not be written or modified by the user. 2: Some registers include factory-controlled bits (FCB). Do not overwrite these bits. Figures 2-5 and 2-6 show the timing details. 5.2 Configuration Registers The internal registers are mapped from Addresses 0x00 - 0x15D. These user registers are not sequentially located. Some user Configuration registers include factory-controlled bits. The factorycontrolled bits should not be overwritten by the user. All user Configuration registers are read/write, except for the last four registers, which are read-only. Each register is made of an 8-bit-wide volatile memory, and their default values are loaded during the power-up sequence or by using the hardware RESET pin. All registers are accessible by the SPI command using the register address. Table 5-3 shows the user-register memory map, and Registers 5-1 - 5-82 show the details of the register bit functions.

The lower nibble (bit <3:0>) has a higher priority when the mirrored bits have different values. During Shutdown mode, most of the internal circuits including the reference and clock are turned-off except for the SPI interface. When exiting from Shutdown (changing from `1' to `0'), executing the device Soft Reset simultaneously is highly recommended for a fast recalibration of the ADC. The internal user registers are not affected. This bit forces the device into Soft Reset mode, which initializes the internal calibration registers to their initial default states. The user-registers are not affected. When exiting Soft Reset mode (changing from `0' to `1'), the device performs an automatic device calibration including PLL calibration if PLL is enabled. DLL is reset if enabled. During Soft Reset, the device has the following states: - no ADC output - no change in power-on condition of internal reference - most of the internal clocks are not distributed - power consumption: (a) digital section - negligible, (b) analog section - no change During Standby mode, most of the internal circuits are turned off except for the reference, clock and SPI interface. When exiting from Standby mode (changing from `1' to `0') after an extended amount of time, executing Soft Reset simultaneously is highly recommended.

If up-converter is not enabled (disabled), output is I/Q data. DDC and NCO are enabled. For DDC function, bits 0, 2 and 5 need to be enabled all together. 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

By enabling this bit, the phase offset corrections in Addresses 0x086 - 0x095 (Registers 5-46 - 5-61) are also enabled. EN_DSPP_8 is a global setting bit to enable SEL_FDR and LVDS_8CH bits (Address 0x62 - Register 5-20). When CW mode is enabled, the ADC output is the result of the summation (addition) of all eight channels' data after each channel's digital phase offset, digital gain, and digital offset are controlled using the Addresses 0x86 - 0xA7 (Registers 5-46 to 5-78). The result is similar to the beamforming in the phased-array sensors. DS20005322E-page 112 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.

MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 7.0 TERMINOLOGY Analog Input Bandwidth (Full-Power Bandwidth) The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of the fundamental frequency (as determined by FFT analysis) is reduced by 3 dB. Aperture Delay or Sampling Delay This is the time delay between the rising edge of the input sampling clock and the actual time at which the sampling occurs. Aperture Uncertainty The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay. 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: EQUATION 7-1: SNRJITTER = - 20 log 2 fIN t JITTER Calibration Algorithms This device utilizes two patented analog and digital calibration algorithms, Harmonic Distortion Correction (HDC) and DAC Noise Cancellation (DNC), to improve the ADC performance. The algorithms compensate various sources of linear impairments such as capacitance mismatch, charge injection error and finite gain of operational amplifiers. These algorithms execute in both power-up sequence (foreground) and background mode: * Power-Up Calibration: The calibration is conducted within the first 227 clock cycles after power-up. The user needs to wait this Power-Up Calibration period after the device is powered-up for an accurate ADC performance. * Background Calibration: This calibration is conducted in the background while the ADC performs conversions. The update rate is about every 230 clock cycles. Pipeline Delay (LATENCY) LATENCY is the number of clock cycles between the initiation of conversion and when that data is presented to the output driver stage. Data for any given sample is available after the pipeline delay plus the output delay after that sample is taken. New data is available at every clock cycle, but the data lags the conversion by the pipeline delay plus the output delay. Latency is increased if digital signal post-processing is used. Clock Pulse Width and Duty Cycle The clock duty cycle is the ratio of the time the clock signal remains at a logic high (clock pulse width) to one clock period. Duty cycle is typically expressed as a percentage. A perfect differential sine-wave clock results in a 50% duty cycle. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL, No Missing Codes) An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSb apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. No missing codes to 16-bit resolution indicates that all 65,536 codes must be present over all the operating conditions. Integral Nonlinearity (INL) INL is the maximum deviation of each individual code from an ideal straight line drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) SNR is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the noise floor power (PN), below the Nyquist frequency and excluding the power at DC and the first nine harmonics. EQUATION 7-2: PS SNR = 10 log ------- PN SNR is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter full-scale range. Channel Crosstalk This is a measure of the internal coupling of a signal from an adjacent channel into the channel of interest in the multi-channel mode. It is measured by applying a full-scale input signal in the adjacent channel. Crosstalk is the ratio of the power of the coupling signal (as measured at the output of the channel of interest) to the power of the signal applied at the adjacent channel input. It is typically expressed in dBc. 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc. DS20005322E-page 135 MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD) Maximum Conversion Rate SINAD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the power of all the other spectral components including noise (PN) and distortion (PD) below the Nyquist frequency, but excluding DC: The maximum clock rate at which parametric testing is performed. EQUATION 7-3: The minimum clock rate at which parametric testing is performed. PS SINAD = 10 log ---------------------- P D + PN = - 10 log 10 SNR - ----------10 - 10 Minimum Conversion Rate Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) THD - -----------10 SINAD is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter full-scale range. Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) SFDR is the ratio of the power of the fundamental to the highest other spectral component (either spur or harmonic). SFDR is typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) or dBFS. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the summed power of the first 13 harmonics (PD). EQUATION 7-5: PS THD = 10 log -------- PD The effective number of bits for a sine wave input at a given input frequency can be calculated directly from its measured SINAD using the following formula: EQUATION 7-4: SINAD - 1.76 ENOB = ---------------------------------6.02 Gain Error Gain error is the deviation of the ADC's actual input full-scale range from its ideal value. The gain error is given as a percentage of the ideal input full-scale range. Gain error is usually expressed in LSb or as a percentage of full-scale range (%FSR). THD is typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier). THD is also shown by: EQUATION 7-6: 2 2 2 2 V2 + V3 + V4 + + Vn THD = - 20 log -----------------------------------------------------------------2 V1 Where: V1 = RMS amplitude of the fundamental frequency V1 through Vn = Amplitudes of the second through nth harmonics Gain-Error Drift Gain-error drift is the variation in gain-error due to a change in ambient temperature, typically expressed in ppm/C. Offset Error The major carry transition should occur for an analog value of 50% LSb below AIN+ = AIN-. Offset error is defined as the deviation of the actual transition from that point. Temperature Drift The temperature drift for offset error and gain error specifies the maximum change from the initial (+25C) value to the value across the TMIN to TMAX range. DS20005322E-page 136 Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion (Two-Tone IMD, IMD3) Two-tone IMD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (at frequencies fIN1 and fIN2) to the power of the worst spectral component at either frequency 2fIN1 - fIN2 or 2fIN2 - fIN1. Two-tone IMD is a function of the input amplitudes and frequencies (fIN1 and fIN2). It is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the ADC full-scale range. 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200 Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) Common-mode rejection is the ability of a device to reject a signal that is common to both sides of a differential input pair. The common-mode signal can be an AC or DC signal or a combination of the two. CMRR is measured using the ratio of the differential signal gain to the common-mode signal gain and expressed in dB with the following equation: EQUATION 7-7: Where: A DIFF CMRR = 20 log ------------------ ACM ADIFF = Output Code/Differential Voltage ADIFF = Output Code/Common Mode Voltage 2014-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.
