Dual 10-bit, 200 MSPS Low-Power A/D Converter with
Parallel LVDS/CMOS Outputs
General Description
The ADC10DV200 is a monolithic analog-to-digital converter
capable of converting two analog input signals into 10-bit dig-
ital words at rates up to 200 Mega Samples Per Second
(MSPS). The digital output mode is selectable and can be ei-
ther differential LVDS or CMOS signals. This converter uses
a differential, pipelined architecture with digital error correc-
tion and an on-chip sample-and-hold circuit to minimize die
size and power consumption while providing excellent dy-
namic performance. A unique sample-and-hold stage yields
a full-power bandwidth of 900MHz. Fabricated in core CMOS
process, the ADC10DV200 may be operated from a single
1.8V power supply. The ADC10DV200 achieves approxi-
mately 9.6 effective bits at Nyquist and consumes just 280mW
at 170MSPS in CMOS mode and 450mW at 200MSPS in
LVDS mode. The power consumption can be scaled down
further by reducing sampling rates.

These pins should each be bypassed to AGND with a low ESL
(equivalent series inductance) 0.1 µF capacitor placed very
close to the pin to minimize stray inductance. An 0201 size 0.1
µF capacitor should be placed between VRP and VRN as close
to the pins as possible.
VRP and VRN should not be loaded. VRM may be loaded to 1mA
for use as a temperature stable 0.9V reference.
It is recommended to use VRM to provide the common mode
voltage, VCM for the differential analog inputs.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
guaranteed to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under
the listed test conditions. Operation of the device beyond the maximum Operating Ratings is not recommended.
Note 2: Units of dBFS indicates the value that would be attained with a full-scale input signal.
Note 3: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = AGND = DRGND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 4: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is, VIN < AGND, or VIN > VA), the current at that pin should be limited to ±5 mA. The
±50 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of ±5 mA to 10.
Note 5: The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by TJ,max, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, (θJA), and the ambient temperature, (TA), and
can be calculated using the formula PD,max = (TJ,max - TA )/θJA. The values for maximum power dissipation listed above will be reached only when the device is
operated in a severe fault condition (e.g. when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is reversed). Such
conditions should always be avoided.
Note 6: Human Body Model is 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine Model is 220 pF discharged through 0Ω resistor. Charged device model
simulates a pin slowly acquiring charge (such as from a device sliding down the feeder in an automated assembler) then rapidly being discharged.
Note 7: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non-lead-free packages.
Note 8: The inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes above VA or below GND will not damage this device, provided current is limited per
(Note 4). However, errors in the A/D conversion can occur if the input goes above VA or below AGND.
30082011
Note 9: With a full scale differential input of 1.5VP-P , the 10-bit LSB is 1.465mV.
Note 10: Typical figures are at TA = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norms at the time of product characterization. The typical specifications are not
guaranteed.
Note 11: The input capacitance is the sum of the package/pin capacitance and the sample and hold circuit capacitance.
Note 12: CMOS Specifications are for FCLK = 170 MHz.
Note 13: SNR minimum and typical values are for LVDS mode. Typical values for CMOS mode are typically 0.2dBFS lower.
Note 14: SFDR minimum and typical values are for LVDS mode. Typical values for CMOS mode are typically 2dBFS lower.
Note 15: SINAD minimum and typical values are for LVDS mode. Typical values for CMOS mode are typically 0.1dBFS lower.
Note 16: This parameter is guaranteed by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.

Specification Definitions
APERTURE DELAY is the time after the falling edge of the
clock to when the input signal is acquired or held for conver-
sion.
APERTURE JITTER (APERTURE UNCERTAINTY) is the
variation in aperture delay from sample to sample. Aperture
jitter manifests itself as noise in the output. The amount of
SNR reduction can be calculated as
SNR Reduction = 20 x log10[½ x π x ƒA x tj]
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time during one cycle
that a repetitive digital waveform is high to the total time of
one period. The specification here refers to the ADC clock
input signal.
COMMON MODE VOLTAGE (VCM) is the common DC volt-
age applied to both input terminals of the ADC.
CONVERSION LATENCY is the number of clock cycles be-
tween initiation of conversion and when that data is presented
to the output driver stage. Data for any given sample is avail-
able at the output pins the Pipeline Delay plus the Output
Delay after the sample is taken. New data is available at every
clock cycle, but the data lags the conversion by the pipeline
delay.
CROSSTALK is coupling of energy from one channel into the
other channel.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of
the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE
BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise and
Distortion Ratio or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD -
1.76) / 6.02 and says that the converter is equivalent to a
perfect ADC of this (ENOB) number of bits.
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH is a measure of the frequency
at which the reconstructed output fundamental drops 3 dB
below its low frequency value for a full scale input.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the
transfer function. It can be calculated as:
Gain Error = Positive Full Scale Error − Negative Full Scale
Error
It can also be expressed as Positive Gain Error and Negative
Gain Error, which are calculated as:
PGE = Positive Full Scale Error - Offset Error
NGE = Offset Error - Negative Full Scale Error
INTEGRAL NON LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the de-
viation of each individual code from a best fit straight line. The
deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured
from the center of that code value.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is the creation of
additional spectral components as a result of two sinusoidal
frequencies being applied to the ADC input at the same time.
It is defined as the ratio of the power in the intermodulation
products to the total power in the original frequencies. IMD is
usually expressed in dBFS.
LSB (LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the small-
est value or weight of all bits. This value is VFS/2n, where
“VFS” is the full scale input voltage and “n” is the ADC reso-
lution in bits.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never ap-
pear at the ADC outputs. The ADC is guaranteed not to have
any missing codes.
MSB (MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the largest
value or weight. Its value is one half of full scale.
NEGATIVE FULL SCALE ERROR is the difference between
the actual first code transition and its ideal value of ½ LSB
above negative full scale.
OFFSET ERROR is the difference between the two input
voltages [(VIN+) – (VIN-)] required to cause a transition from
code 511 to 512.
OUTPUT DELAY is the time delay after the falling edge of the
clock before the data update is presented at the output pins.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) See CONVERSION LATEN-
CY.
POSITIVE FULL SCALE ERROR is the difference between
the actual last code transition and its ideal value of 1½ LSB
below positive full scale.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) is a measure
of how well the ADC rejects a change in the power supply
voltage. PSRR is the ratio of the Full-Scale output of the ADC
with the supply at the minimum DC supply limit to the Full-
Scale output of the ADC with the supply at the maximum DC
supply limit, expressed in dB.
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in
dB, of the rms value of the input signal to the rms value of the
sum of all other spectral components below one-half the sam-
pling frequency, not including harmonics or DC.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/N+D or
SINAD) Is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the
input signal to the rms value of all of the other spectral com-
ponents below half the clock frequency, including harmonics
but excluding d.c.
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the differ-
ence, expressed in dB, between the rms values of the input
signal and the peak spurious signal, where a spurious signal
is any signal present in the output spectrum that is not present
at the input.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio, ex-
pressed in dB, of the rms total of the first six harmonic levels
at the output to the level of the fundamental at the output. THD
is calculated as
where f1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output) fre-
quency and f2 through f7 are the RMS power of the first six
harmonic frequencies in the output spectrum.
SECOND HARMONIC DISTORTION (2ND HARM) is the dif-
ference expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the input
frequency at the output and the power in its 2nd harmonic
level at the output.
THIRD HARMONIC DISTORTION (3RD HARM) is the dif-
ference, expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the
input frequency at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic
level at the output.

ADC10DV200
Functional Description
Operating on a single +1.8V supply, the ADC10DV200 digi-
tizes two differential analog input signals to 10 bits, using a
differential pipelined architecture with error correction circuitry
and an on-chip sample-and-hold circuit to ensure maximum
performance. The user has the choice of using an internal
0.75V stable reference, or using an external 0.75V reference.
Any external reference is buffered on-chip to ease the task of
driving that pin. Duty cycle stabilization and output data format
are selectable using the quad state function DF/DCS pin (pin
20). The output data can be set for offset binary or two's com-
plement.
Applications Information
1.0 OPERATING CONDITIONS
We recommend that the following conditions be observed for
operation of the ADC10DV200:
1.7V VA 1.9V
1.7V VDR VA
45 MHz fCLK 200 MHz, with DCS off
65 MHz fCLK 200 MHz, with DCS on
0.75V internal reference
VREF = 0.75V (for an external reference)
VCM = 0.9V (from VRM)
2.0 ANALOG INPUTS
2.1 Signal Inputs
2.1.1 Differential Analog Input Pins
The ADC10DV200 has a pair of analog signal input pins for
each of two channels. VIN+ and VIN− form a differential input
pair. The input signal, VIN, is defined as
VIN = (VIN+) – (VIN−)
Figure 4shows the expected input signal range. Note that the
common mode input voltage, VCM, should be 0.9V. Using
VRM (pins 5,11) for VCM will ensure the proper input common
mode level for the analog input signal. The positive peaks of
the individual input signals should each never exceed 2.2V.
Each analog input pin of the differential pair should have a
maximum peak-to-peak voltage of 1.5V, be 180° out of phase
with each other and be centered around VCM.The peak-to-
peak voltage swing at each analog input pin should not ex-
ceed the 1V or the output data will be clipped.
30082080
FIGURE 4. Expected Input Signal Range
For single frequency sine waves the full scale error in LSB
can be described as approximately
EFS = 1024 ( 1 - sin (90° + dev))
Where dev is the angular difference in degrees between the
two signals having a 180° relative phase relationship to each
other (see Figure 5). For single frequency inputs, angular er-
rors result in a reduction of the effective full scale input. For
complex waveforms, however, angular errors will result in
distortion.
30082081
FIGURE 5. Angular Errors Between the Two Input Signals
Will Reduce the Output Level or Cause Distortion
It is recommended to drive the analog inputs with a source
impedance less than 100. Matching the source impedance
for the differential inputs will improve even ordered harmonic
performance (particularly second harmonic).

C10DV200.

2.1.2 Driving the Analog Inputs
The VIN+ and the VIN− inputs of the ADC10DV200 have an
internal sample-and-hold circuit which consists of an analog
switch followed by a switched-capacitor amplifier.
Figure 6 and Figure 7 show examples of single-ended to dif-
ferential conversion circuits. The circuit in Figure 6 works well
for input frequencies up to approximately 70MHz, while the
circuit in Figure 7 works well above 70MHz.
30082082
FIGURE 6. Low Input Frequency Transformer Drive Circuit
30082083
FIGURE 7. High Input Frequency Transformer Drive Circuit
One short-coming of using a transformer to achieve the sin-
gle-ended to differential conversion is that most RF trans-
formers have poor low frequency performance. A differential
amplifier can be used to drive the analog inputs for low fre-
quency applications. The amplifier must be fast enough to
settle from the charging glitches on the analog input resulting
from the sample-and-hold operation before the clock goes
high and the sample is passed to the ADC core.
2.1.3 Input Common Mode Voltage
The input common mode voltage, VCM, should be in the range
of 0.8V to 1.0V and be a value such that the peak excursions
of the analog signal do not go more negative than ground or
more positive than the VA supply. It is recommended to use
VRM (pins 5,11) as the input common mode voltage.
If the ADC10DV200 is operated with VA=1.8V, a resistor of
approximately 1K should be used from the VRM pin to AG-
ND. This will help maintain stability over the entire tempera-
ture range when using a high supply voltage.
2.2 Reference Pins
The ADC10DV200 is designed to operate with an internal or
external voltage reference. The voltage on the VREF pin se-
lects the source and level of the reference voltage. An internal
0.75 Volt reference is used when a voltage between 1.4 V to
VA is applied to the VREF pin. An internal 0.5 Volt reference is
used when a voltage between 0.2V and AGND is applied to
the VREF pin. If a voltage between 0.2V and 1.4V is applied to
the VREF pin, then that voltage is used for the reference. SNR
will improve without a significant degradation in SFDR for
VREF=1.0V. SNR will decrease if VREF=0.5V, yet linearity will
be maintained. If using an external reference the VREF pin
should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor close
to the reference input pin.
It is important that all grounds associated with the reference
voltage and the analog input signal make connection to the
ground plane at a single, quiet point to minimize the effects of
noise currents in the ground path.
The Reference Bypass Pins (VRP, VRM, and VRN) for channels
A and B are made available for bypass purposes. These pins
should each be bypassed to AGND with a low ESL (equivalent
www.national.com 18
ADC10DV200
series inductance) 0.1 µF capacitor placed very close to the
pin to minimize stray inductance. A 0.1 µF capacitor should
be placed between VRP and VRN as close to the pins as pos-
sible. This configuration is shown in Figure 8. It is necessary
to avoid reference oscillation, which could result in reduced
SFDR and/or SNR. VRM may be loaded to 1mA for use as a
temperature stable 0.9V reference. The remaining pins
should not be loaded.
Smaller capacitor values than those specified will allow faster
recovery from the power down mode, but may result in de-
graded noise performance. Loading any of these pins, other
than VRM may result in performance degradation.
The nominal voltages for the reference bypass pins are as
follows:
VRM = 0.9 V
VRP = 1.33 V
VRN = 0.55 V
2.3 DF/DCS Pin
Duty cycle stabilization and output data format are selectable
using this quad state function pin. When enabled, duty cycle
stabilization can compensate for clock inputs with duty cycles
ranging from 30% to 70% and generate a stable internal clock,
improving the performance of the part. See Table 1 for DF/
DCS voltage vs output format description. DCS mode of op-
eration is limited to 65 MHz fCLK 200 MHz.
3.0 DIGITAL INPUTS
Digital CMOS compatible inputs consist of CLK, PD_A,
PD_B, and OUTSEL.
3.1 Clock Input
The CLK controls the timing of the sampling process. To
achieve the optimum noise performance, the clock input
should be driven with a stable, low jitter clock signal in the
range indicated in the Electrical Table. The clock input signal
should also have a short transition region. This can be
achieved by passing a low-jitter sinusoidal clock source
through a high speed buffer gate. The trace carrying the clock
signal should be as short as possible and should not cross
any other signal line, analog or digital, not even at 90°.
If the clock is interrupted, or its frequency is too low, the
charge on the internal capacitors can dissipate to the point
where the accuracy of the output data will degrade. This is
what limits the minimum sample rate.
The clock line should be terminated at its source in the char-
acteristic impedance of that line. Take care to maintain a
constant clock line impedance throughout the length of the
line. Refer to Application Note AN-905 for information on set-
ting characteristic impedance. It is highly desirable that the
the source driving the ADC clock pins only drive that pin.
The duty cycle of the clock signal can affect the performance
of the A/D Converter. Because achieving a precise duty cycle
is difficult, the ADC10DV200 has a Duty Cycle Stabilizer.
4.0 DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Digital outputs consist of the LVDS signals D0-D9, OR, and
DRDY.
The ADC10DV200 has 12 LVDS compatible data output pins:
10 data output pins corresponding to the converted input val-
ue, a data ready (DRDY) signal that should be used to capture
the output data and an over-range indicator (OR) which is set
high when the sample amplitude exceeds the 10-Bit conver-
sion range. Valid data is present at these outputs while the
PD pin is low. A-Channel data should be captured and latched
with the rising edge of the DRDY signal and B-Channel data
should be captured and latched with the falling edge of DRDY.
To minimize noise due to output switching, the load currents
at the digital outputs should be minimized. This can be
achieved by keeping the PCB traces less than 2 inches long;
longer traces are more susceptible to noise. The character-
istic impedance of the LVDS traces should be 100, and the
effective capacitance < 10pF. Try to place the 100 termina-
tion resistor as close to the receiving circuit as possible. (See
Figure 8)

ADC10DV200
5.0 POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
The power supply pins should be bypassed with a 0.1 µF ca-
pacitor and with a 100 pF ceramic chip capacitor close to each
power pin. Leadless chip capacitors are preferred because
they have low series inductance.
As is the case with all high-speed converters, the AD-
C10DV200 is sensitive to power supply noise. Accordingly,
the noise on the analog supply pin should be kept below 100
mVP-P.
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of the
supply voltages, not even on a transient basis. Be especially
careful of this during power turn on and turn off.
