(1) Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see
CONVERTER ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS. The ensured specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some
performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
(2) All voltages are measured with respect to GND = AVSS = DVSS = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
(3) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(4) When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is, less than AVSS or DVSS, or greater than AVDD or DVDD), the
current at that pin should be limited to 25 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 25 mA to two.
(5) The absolute maximum junction temperatures (TJmax) for this device is 150°C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by
TJmax, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA, and can be calculated using the formula
PDMAX = (TJmax - TA)/θJA. The values for maximum power dissipation listed above will be reached only when the ADC1175 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). Obviously, such conditions should always be avoided.

(1) The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes up to 6.5V or to 500 mV below GND will not damage this
device. However, errors in the A/D conversion can occur if the input goes above VDD or below GND by more than 50 mV. As an
example, if AVDD is 4.75VDC, the full-scale input voltage must be ≤4.80VDC to ensure accurate conversions. See Figure 2.
(2) To ensure accuracy, it is required that AVDD and DVDD be well bypassed. Each supply pin must be decoupled with separate bypass
capacitors.

SPECIFICATION DEFINITIONS
ANALOG INPUT 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. The test is performed with fIN equal to 100 kHz
plus integer multiples of fCLK. The input frequency at which the output is −3 dB relative to the low frequency input
signal is the full power bandwidth.
APERTURE JITTER is the time uncertainty of the sampling point (tDS), or the range of variation in the sampling
delay.
BOTTOM OFFSET is the difference between the input voltage that just causes the output code to transition to
the first code and the negative reference voltage. Bottom offset is defined as EOB = VZT - VRB, where VZT is the
first code transition input voltage. Note that this is different from the normal Zero Scale Error.
DIFFERENTIAL GAIN ERROR is the percentage difference between the output amplitudes of a high frequency
reconstructed sine wave at two different d.c. levels.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1
LSB.
DIFFERENTIAL PHASE ERROR is the difference in the output phase of a reconstructed small signal sine wave
at two different d.c. levels.
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.
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from
zero scale (½LSB below the first code transition) through positive full scale (½LSB above the last code
transition). The deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured from the center of that code value.
The end point test method is used.
OUTPUT DELAY is the time delay after the rising edge of the input clock before the data update is present at the
output pins.
OUTPUT HOLD TIME is the length of time that the output data is valid after the rise of the input clock.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of clock cycles between initiation of conversion and when that data
is presented to the output stage. Data for any give sample is available 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.
SAMPLING (APERTURE) DELAY is that time required after the fall of the clock input for the sampling switch to
open. The Sample/Hold circuit effectively stops capturing the input signal and goes into the "hold" mode tDS after
the clock goes low.
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio of the rms value of the input signal to the rms value of the other
spectral components below one-half the sampling frequency, not including harmonics or d.c.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/(N+D) or SINAD) is the ratio of the rms value of the input signal to
the rms value of all of the other spectral components below half the clock frequency, including harmonics but
excluding d.c.
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, 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.
TOP OFFSET is the difference between the positive reference voltage and the input voltage that just causes the
output code to transition to full scale and is defined as EOT = VFT −VRT. Where VFT is the full scale transition
input voltage. Note that this is different from the normal Full Scale Error.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio of the rms total of the first six harmonic components, to the
rms value of the input signal.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ADC1175 uses a new, unique architecture to achieve 7.2 effective bits at and maintains superior dynamic
performance up to ½ the clock frequency.
The analog signal at VIN that is within the voltage range set by VRT and VRB are digitized to eight bits at up to 30
MSPS. Input voltages below VRB will cause the output word to consist of all zeroes. Input voltages above VRT will
cause the output word to consist of all ones. VRT has a range of 1.0 Volt to the analog supply voltage, AVDD,
while VRB has a range of 0 to 4.0 Volts. VRT should always be between 1.0 Volt and 2.8 Volts more positive than
VRB.
If VRT and VRTS are connected together and VRB and VRBS are connected together, the nominal values of VRT and
VRB are 2.6V and 0.6V, respectively. If VRT and VRTS are connected together and VRB is grounded, the nominal
value of VRT is 2.3V.
Data is acquired at the falling edge of the clock and the digital equivalent of the data is available at the digital
outputs 2.5 clock cycles plus tOD later. The ADC1175 will convert as long as the clock signal is present at pin 12.
The Output Enable pin OE, when low, enables the output pins. The digital outputs are in the high impedance
state when the OE pin is high.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
THE ANALOG INPUT
The analog input of the ADC1175 is a switch followed by an integrator. The input capacitance changes with the
clock level, appearing as 4 pF when the clock is low, and 11 pF when the clock is high. Since a dynamic
capacitance is more difficult to drive than a fixed capacitance, choose an amplifier that can drive this type of load.
The LMH6702, LMH6609, LM6152, LM6154, LM6181 and LM6182 have been found to be excellent devices for
driving the ADC1175. Do not drive the input beyond the supply rails. Figure 19 shows an example of an input
circuit using the LMH6702.
Driving the analog input with input signals up to 2.8 VP-P will result in normal behavior where signals above VRT
will result in a code of FFh and input voltages below VRB will result in an output code of zero. Input signals above
2.8 VP-P may result in odd behavior where the output code is not FFh when the input exceeds VRT.
REFERENCE INPUTS
The reference inputs VRT (Reference Top) and VRB (Reference Bottom) are the top and bottom of the reference
ladder. Input signals between these two voltages will be digitized to 8 bits. External voltages applied to the
reference input pins should be within the range specified in Operating Ratings (1.0V to AVDD for VRT and 0V to
(AVDD - 1.0V) for VRB). Any device used to drive the reference pins should be able to source sufficient current
into the VRT pin and sink sufficient current from the VRB pin.
The reference ladder can be self-biased by connecting VRT to VRTS and connecting VRB to VRBS to provide top
and bottom reference voltages of approximately 2.6V and 0.6V, respectively, with VCC = 5.0V. This connection is
shown in Figure 19. If VRT and VRTS are tied together, but VRB is tied to analog ground, a top reference voltage of
approximately 2.3V is generated. The top and bottom of the ladder should be bypassed with 10µF tantalum
capacitors located close to the reference pins.
The reference self-bias circuit of Figure 19 is very simple and performance is adequate for many applications.
Superior performance can generally be achieved by driving the reference pins with a low impedance source.
By forcing a little current into or out of the top and bottom of the ladder, as shown in Figure 20, the top and
bottom reference voltages can be trimmed and performance improved over the self-bias method of Figure 19.
The resistive divider at the amplifier inputs can be replaced with potentiometers. The LMC662 amplifier shown
was chosen for its low offset voltage and low cost. Note that a negative power supply is needed for these
amplifiers if their outputs are required to go slightly negative to force the required reference voltages.
If reference voltages are desired that are more than a few tens of millivolts from the self-bias values, the circuit of
Figure 21 will allow forcing the reference voltages to whatever levels are desired. This circuit provides the best
performance because of the low source impedance of the transistors. Note that the VRTS and VRBS pins are left
floating.
VRT can be anywhere between VRB + 1.0V and the analog supply voltage, and VRB can be anywhere between
ground and 1.0V below VRT. To minimize noise effects and ensure accurate conversions, the total reference
voltage range (VRT - VRB) should be a minimum of 1.0V and a maximum of about 2.8V. If VRB is not required to
be below about +700mV, the -5V points in Figure 21 can be returned to ground and the negative supply
eliminated.

Driving the reference to force desired values requires driving with a low impedance source, provided by the
transistors. Pins 16 and 22 are not connected.
Figure 21.
POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
Many A/D converters draw sufficient transient current to corrupt their own power supplies if not adequately
bypassed. A 10µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed within an inch (2.5 centimeters)
of the A/D power pins, with a 0.1 µF ceramic chip capacitor placed as close as possible to the converter's power
supply pins. Leadless chip capacitors are preferred because they have low lead inductance.
While a single voltage source should be used for the analog and digital supplies of the ADC1175, these supply
pins should be well isolated from each other to prevent any digital noise from being coupled to the analog power
pins. A wideband choke, such as the JW Miller FB20010-3B, is recommended between the analog and digital
supply lines, with a ceramic capacitor close to the analog supply pin. Avoid inductive components in the analog
supply line.
The converter digital supply should not be the supply that is used for other digital circuitry on the board. It should
be the same supply used for the A/D analog supply.
As is the case with all high speed converters, the ADC1175 should be assumed to have little a.c. power supply
rejection, especially when self-biasing is used by connecting VRT and VRTS together.

No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of the supply voltages or below ground, not even on a
transient basis. This can be a problem upon application of power to a circuit. Be sure that the supplies to circuits
driving the CLK, OE, analog input and reference pins do not come up any faster than does the voltage at the
ADC1175 power pins.
Pins 11 and 13 are both labeled DVDD. Pin 11 is the supply point for the digital core of the ADC, where pin 13 is
used only to provide power to the ADC output drivers. As such, pin 11 may be connected to a voltage source
that is less than the +5V used for AVDD and DVDD to ease interfacing to low voltage devices. Pin 11 should never
exceed the pin 13 potential by more than 0.5V.
THE ADC1175 CLOCK
Although the ADC1175 is tested and its performance is ensured with a 20MHz clock, it typically will function with
clock frequencies from 1MHz to 30MHz.
If continuous conversions are not required, power consumption can be reduced somewhat by stopping the clock
at a logic low when the ADC1175 is not being used. This reduces the current drain in the ADC1175's digital
circuitry from a typical value of 2.5mA to about 100µA.
Note that powering up the ADC1175 without the clock running may not save power, as it will result in an
increased current flow (by as much as 170%) in the reference ladder. In some cases, this may increase the
ladder current above the specified limit. Toggling the clock twice at 1MHz or higher and returning it to the low
state will eliminate the excess ladder current.
An alternative power-saving technique is to power up the ADC1175 with the clock active, then halt the clock in
the low state after two or more clock cycles. Stopping the clock in the high state is not recommended as a
power-saving technique.
LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals is essential to ensure accurate conversion. Separate analog
and digital ground planes that are connected beneath the ADC1175 may be used, but best EMI practices require
a single ground plane. However, it is important to keep analog signal lines away from digital signal lines and
away from power supply currents. This latter requirement requires the careful separation and placement of power
planes. The use of power traces rather than one or more power planes is not recommended as higher
frequencies are not well filtered with lumped capacitances. To filter higher frequency noise components it is
necessary to have sufficient capacitance between the power and ground planes.
If separate analog and digital ground planes are used, the analog and digital grounds may be in the same layer,
but should be separated from each other. If separate analog and digital ground layers are used, they should
never overlap each other.
Capacitive coupling between a typically noisy digital ground plane and the sensitive analog circuitry can lead to
poor performance that may seem impossible to isolate and remedy. The solution is to keep the analog circuity
well separated from the digital circuitry.
Digital circuits create substantial supply and ground current transients. The logic noise thus generated could
have significant impact upon system noise performance. The best logic family to use in systems with A/D
converters is one which employs non-saturating transistor designs, or has low noise characteristics, such as the
74HC(T) and 74AC(T)Q families. The worst noise generators are logic families that draw the largest supply
current transients during clock or signal edges, like the 74F and the 74AC(T) families. In general, slower logic
families will produce less high frequency noise than do high speed logic families.
Since digital switching transients are composed largely of high frequency components, total ground plane copper
weight will have little effect upon the logic-generated noise. This is because of the skin effect. Total surface area
is more important than is total ground plane volume.
An effective way to control ground noise is by using a single, solid ground plane, splitting the power plane into
analog and digital areas and having power and ground planes in adjacent board layers. There should be no
traces within either the power or the ground layers of the board. The analog and digital power planes should
reside in the same board layer so that they can not overlap each other. The analog and digital power planes
define the analog and digital areas of the board.

Generally, analog and digital lines should cross each other at 90 degrees to avoid getting digital noise into the
analog path. In high frequency systems, however, avoid crossing analog and digital lines altogether. Clock lines
should be isolated from ALL other lines, analog and digital. Even the generally accepted 90 degree crossing
should be avoided as even a little coupling can cause problems at high frequencies. Best performance at high
frequencies and at high resolution is obtained with a straight signal path.
Be especially careful with the layout of inductors. Mutual inductance can change the characteristics of the circuit
in which they are used. Inductors should not be placed side by side, not even with just a small part of their
bodies being beside each other.
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input.
Any external component (e.g., a filter capacitor) connected between the converter's input and ground should be
connected to a very clean point in the ground return.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The ADC1175 is a.c. tested and its dynamic performance is ensured. To meet the published specifications, the
clock source driving the CLK input must be free of jitter. For best a.c. performance, isolating the ADC clock from
any digital circuitry should be done with adequate buffers, as with a clock tree. See Figure 22.
Figure 22. Isolating the ADC clock from Digital Circuitry.
It is good practice to keep the ADC clock line as short as possible and to keep it well away from any other
signals. Other signals can introduce jitter into the clock signal.
COMMON APPLICATION PITFALLS
Driving the inputs (analog or digital) beyond the power supply rails. For proper operation, all inputs should
not go more than 50mV below the ground pins or 50mV above the supply pins. Exceeding these limits on even a
transient basis can cause faulty or erratic operation. It is not uncommon for high speed digital circuits to exhibit
undershoot that goes more than a volt below ground due to improper line termination. A resistor of 50Ωto 100Ω
in series with the offending digital input, located close to the signal source, will usually eliminate the problem.
Care should be taken not to overdrive the inputs of the ADC1175. Such practice may lead to conversion
inaccuracies and even to device damage.
Attempting to drive a high capacitance digital data bus. The more capacitance the output drivers must
charge for each conversion, the more instantaneous digital current is required from DVDD and DGND. These
large charging current spikes can couple into the analog section, degrading dynamic performance. Buffering the
digital data outputs (with an 74AC541, for example) may be necessary if the data bus to be driven is heavily
loaded. Dynamic performance can also be improved by adding 47Ωto 100Ωseries resistors at each digital
output, reducing the energy coupled back into the converter output pins.
Using an inadequate amplifier to drive the analog input. As explained in THE ANALOG INPUT, the
capacitance seen at the input alternates between 4 pF and 11 pF with the clock. This dynamic capacitance is
more difficult to drive than is a fixed capacitance, and should be considered when choosing a driving device. The
LMH6702, LMH6609, LM6152, LM6154, LM6181 and LM6182 have been found to be excellent devices for
driving the ADC1175 analog input.

Driving the VRT pin or the VRB pin with devices that can not source or sink the current required by the
ladder. As mentioned in REFERENCE INPUTS, care should be taken to see that any driving devices can source
sufficient current into the VRT pin and sink sufficient current from the VRB pin. If these pins are not driven with
devices than can handle the required current, these reference pins will not be stable, resulting in a reduction of
dynamic performance.
Using a clock source with excessive jitter, using an excessively long clock signal trace, or having other
signals coupled to the clock signal trace. This will cause the sampling interval to vary, causing excessive
output noise and a reduction in SNR performance. Simple gates with RC timing is generally inadequate as a
clock source.
Input test signal contains harmonic distortion that interferes with the measurement of dynamic signal to
noise ratio. Harmonic and other interfering signals can be removed by inserting a filter at the signal input.
Suitable filters are shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24. The circuit of Figure 23 has cutoff of about 5.5 MHz and is
suitable for input frequencies of 1 MHz to 5 MHz. The circuit of Figure 24 has a cutoff of about 11 MHz and is
suitable for input frequencies of 5 MHz to 10 MHz. These filters should be driven by a generator of 75 Ohm
source impedance and terminated with a 75 ohm resistor.

Use at input frequencies of 5 MHz to 10 MHz.

Not considering the effect on a driven CMOS digital circuit(s) when the ADC1175 is in the power down
mode. Because the ADC1175 output goes into a high impedance state when in the power down mode, any
CMOS device connected to these outputs will have their inputs floating when the ADC is in power down. Should
the inputs of the circuit being driven by the ADC digital outputs float to a level near 2.5V, a CMOS device could
exhibit relative large supply currents as the input stage toggles rapidly. The solution is to use pull-down resistors
at the ADC outputs. The value of these resistors is not critical, as long as they do not cause excessive currents
in the outputs of the ADC1175. Low pull-down resistor values could result in degraded SNR and SINAD
performance of the ADC1175. Values between 5 kΩand 100 kΩshould work well.
