HMCAD1520
v04.1015
HIGH SPEED MULTI-MODE 8/12/14-BIT
1000/640/105 MSPS A/D CONVERTER
General Description
The HMCAD1520 is a versatile high performance low power analog-to-digital converter (ADC), with interleaving High
Speed Modes to increase sampling rate. Integrated Cross Point Switches activate the input selected by the user.
In Single Channel Mode, one of the four inputs can be selected as valid input to the single ADC channel. In Dual
Channel Mode, any two of the four inputs can be selected to each ADC channel. In Quad Channel Mode and Precision
Mode, any input can be assigned to any ADC channel.
An internal, low jitter and programmable clock divider makes it possible to use a single clock source for all opera-
tional modes.
The HMCAD1520 is based on a proprietary structure, and employs internal reference circuitry, a serial control inter-
face and a serial LVDS output data. Data and frame synchronization clocks are supplied for data capture at the
receiver. Internal digital ne gain can be set separately for each ADC to calibrate for gain errors.
Various modes and conguration settings can be applied to the ADC through the serial control interface (SPI). each
channel can be powered down independently and output data format can be selected through this interface. A full chip
idle mode can be set by a single external pin. Register settings determine the exact function of this pin.
HMCAD1520 is designed to interface easily with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) from several vendors.

Start up Initialization
As part of the HMCAD1520 power-on sequence both a reset and a power down cycle have to be applied to ensure
correct start-up initialization. Reset can be done in one of two ways:
1. By applying a low-going pulse (minimum 20 ns) on the RESETN pin (asynchronous).
2. By using the serial interface to set the ‘rst’ bit high. Internal registers are reset to default values when this
bit is set. The ‘rst’ bit is self-reset to zero. When using this method, do not apply any low-going pulse on the
RESETN pin.
Power down cycling can be done in one of two ways:
1. By applying a high-going pulse (minimum 20 ns) on the PD pin (asynchronous).
2. By cycling the ‘pd’ bit in register 0Fhex to high (reg value ‘0200’hex) and then low (reg value ‘0000’hex).

Register Initialization
To set the HMCAD1520 in Precision Mode, the following registers must be changed from the default value. Suggested
values are:
Address Data Function
0x31 0x0008 Sets HMCAD1520 in precision mode,
Clock divider to 1
0x53 0x0004 Sets the LVDS output in dual 8 bit mode
Serial Interface
The HMCAD1520 conguration registers can be accessed through a serial interface formed by the pins SDATA
(serial interface data), SCLK (serial interface clock) and CSN (chip select, active low). The following occurs when
CSN is set low:
•Serial data are shifted into the chip
•At every rising edge of SCLK, the value present at SDATA is latched
•SDATA is loaded into the register every 24th rising edge of SCLK
Multiples of 24-bit words data can be loaded within a single active CSN pulse. If more than 24 bits are loaded into
SDATA during one active CSN pulse, only the rst 24 bits are kept. The excess bits are ignored. Every 24-bit word
is divided into two parts:
•The rst eight bits form the register address
•The remaining 16 bits form the register data
Acceptable SCLK frequencies are from 20MHz down to a few hertz. Duty-cycle does not have to be tightly controlled.

The HMCAD1520 has four main operating modes controlled by the register bits precision_mode and high_speed_
mode as dened in table 6. Power down mode, as described in section ‘Startup Initialization’, must be activated after
or during a change of operating mode to ensure correct operation. The high speed modes all utilize interleaving to
achieve high sampling speed. Quad channel mode interleaves 2 ADC branches, dual channel mode interleaves
4 ADC branches, while single channel mode interleave all 8 ADC branches. In precision mode interleaving is not
required and each ADC channel uses one ADC branch only.

Only one of the 4 bits should be activated at the same time.
clk_divide<1:0> allows the user to apply an input clock frequency higher than the sampling rate. The clock divider
will divide the input clock frequency by a factor of 1, 2, 4, or 8, dened by the clk_divide<1:0> register. By setting the
clk_divide<1:0> value relative to the channel_num<2:0> value, the same input clock frequency can be used for all
settings on number of channels. e.g: When increasing the number of channels from 1 to 4, the maximum sampling
rate is reduced by a factor of 4. By letting clk_divide<1:0> follow the channel_num<2:0> value, and change it from 1 to
4, the internal clock divider will provide the reduction of the sampling rate without changing the input clock frequency.

Each ADC is connected to the four input signals via a full exible cross point switch, set up by inp_sel_adcx. In single
channel mode, any one of the four inputs can be selected as valid input to the single ADC channel. In dual channel
mode, any two of the four inputs can be selected to each ADC channel. In quad channel mode and precision mode,
any input can be assigned to any ADC channel. The switching of inputs can be done during normal operation, and no
additional actions are needed. The switching will occur instantaneously at the end of each SPI command.

The full-scale voltage range of HMCAD1520 can be adjusted using an internal 6-bit DAC controlled by the fs_cntrl
register. Changing the value in the register by one step, adjusts the full-scale range by approximately 0.3%. This
leads to a maximum range of ±10% adjustment. Table 9 shows how the register settings correspond to the full-scale
range. Note that the values for full-scale range adjustment are approximate. The DAC is, however, guaranteed to be
monotonous.
The full-scale control and the programmable gain features differ in two major ways:
1. The full-scale control function is an analog, whereas the programmable gain is a digital function.
2. The programmable gain function has much coarser gain steps and larger range compared to the full-scale
control function.

There are two registers that impact performance and power dissipation.
The adc_curr register scales the current consumption in the ADC core. The performance is guaranteed at the nomi-
nal setting. Lower power consumption can be achieved by reducing the adc_curr value, see table 10. The impact on
performance will depend on the ADC sampling rate.

To optimize start up time, a register is provided where the start-up time in clock cycles can be set. Some internal cir-
cuitry have start up times that are clock frequency independent. Default counter values are set to accommodate these
start up times at the maximum clock frequency (sampling rate). This will lead to increased start up times at low clock
frequencies. Setting the value of this register to the nearest higher clock frequency will reduce the count values of the
internal counters, to better t the actual start up time, such that the start up time will be reduced. The start up times
from power down and sleep modes are changed by this register setting. If the clock divider is used (set to other than 1),
the input clock frequency must be divided by the divider factor to nd the correct clock frequency range (see table 7).

12-bit LVDS mode is default for all operational modes. If another LVDS mode is to be used, the lvds_output_mode
register setting must be changed accordingly.
When 8-bit LVDS mode is used, the LSBs are truncated and the data output will have 8-bit resolution. See HMCAD1511
and HMCAD1510 for detailed description.
When 14 or 16 bit LVDS output mode is selected the output data will be a 13 bit left justied word lled up with ‘0’s on
the LSB side. The different high speed modes uses the LVDS outputs as dened by table 15.

For the 14-bit precision mode 14, 16 or dual 8-bit LVDS mode should be used. If the default 12-bit LVDS mode is used,
the data output will be truncated to 12 bit. If the 16-bit LVDS mode is used the data output will be a 14-bit left justied
word lled up with ‘00’ on the LSB side. If the dual 8-bit output mode is used the 8 most signicant bit of the 14 bit data
word will be available on the LVDS ‘A’ output and the remaining 6 bit will be left justied and lled up with ‘00’ on the
LVDS ‘B’ output, see table 16.

Maximum data output bit-rate for the HMCAD1520 is 1 Gb/s. The maximum sampling rate for the different congura-
tions is given by table 17. The sampling rate is set by the frequency of the input clock (FS). The frame-rate, i.e. the
frequency of the FCLK signal on the LVDS outputs, depends on the selected mode and the sampling frequency (FS)
as dened in table 18.

To ease timing in the receiver when using multiple HMCAD1520, the device has the option to adjust the timing of the
output data and the frame clock. The propagation delay with respect to the ADC input clock can be moved one LVDS
clock cycle forward or backward, by using lvds_delay and lvds_advance, respectively. See gure 11 for details. Note
that LCLK is not affected by lvds_delay or lvds_advance settings.

The LVDS output interface of HMCAD1520 is a DDR interface. The default setting is with the LCLK rising and falling
edge transitions in the middle of alternate data windows. The phase for LCLK can be programmed relative to the
output frame clock and data bits using phase_ddr<1:0>. The LCLK phase modes are shown in gure 12. The default
timing is identical to setting phase_ddr<1:0>=’10’.

The default data output format is offset binary. Two’s complement mode can be selected by setting the btc_mode bit
to ‘1’ which inverts the MSB.
The rst bit of the frame (following the rising edge of FCLKP) is the LSB of the ADC output for default settings.
Programming the msb_rst mode results in reverse bit order, and the MSB is output as the rst bit following the FCLKP
rising edge.

The current delivered by the LVDS output drivers can be congured as shown in table 20. The default current is 3.5mA,
which is what the LVDS standard species.
The LVDS interface offers good robustness at the RSDS (Reduced Swing Differential Signaling), given a careful LVDS wire
layout. Using the 1.5mA RSDS will reduce the power consumption signicantly compared to default 3.5mA LVDS.
Setting the ilvds_lclk<2:0> register controls the current drive strength of the LVDS clock output on the LCLKP and LCLKN
pins.
Setting the ilvds_frame<2:0> register controls the current drive strength of the frame clock output on the FCLKP and
FCLKN pins.
Setting the ilvds_dat<2:0> register controls the current drive strength of the data outputs on the D[8:1]P and D[8:1]N pins.

The off-chip load on the LVDS buffers may represent a characteristic impedance that is not perfectly matched with
the PCB traces. This may result in reections back to the LVDS outputs and loss of signal integrity. This effect can be
mitigated by enabling an internal termination between the positive and negative outputs of each LVDS buffer. Internal
termination mode can be selected by setting the en_lvds_term bit to ‘1’. Once this bit is set, the internal termination
values for the bit clock, frame clock, and data buffers can be independently programmed using sets of three bits. Table
21 shows how the internal termination of the LVDS buffers are programmed. The values are typical values and can
vary by up to ±20% from device to device and across temperature.

The HMCAD1520 device has several modes for power management, from sleep modes with short start up time to
full power down with extremely low power dissipation. There are two sleep modes, both with the LVDS clocks (FCLK,
LCLK) running, such that the synchronization with the receiver is maintained. The rst is a light sleep mode (sleep*_
ch) with short start up time, and the second a deep sleep mode (sleep) with the same start up time as full power down.
Setting sleep4_ch<n> = ‘1’ sets channel <n> in a Quad Channel setup in sleep mode, setting sleep2_ch<n> = ‘1’ sets
channel <n> in a Dual Channel setup in sleep mode and at last setting sleep1_ch1 = ‘1’ sets the ADC channel in a
Single Channel setup in sleep mode. This is a light sleep mode with short start up time.
Setting sleep = ‘1’, puts all channels to sleep, but keeps FCLK and LCLK running to maintain LVDS synchronization.
The start up time is the same as for complete power down. Power consumption is signicantly lower than for setting
all channels to sleep by using the sleep*_Channel register.
Setting pd = ‘1’ completely powers down the chip, including the band-gap reference circuit. Start-up time from this
mode is signicantly longer than from the sleep*_Channel mode. The synchronization with the LVDS receiver is lost
since LCLK and FCLK outputs are put in high-Z mode.
Setting pdn_pin_cfg<1:0> = ‘x1’ congures the circuit to enter sleep channel mode (all channels off) when the PD pin
is set high. This is equal to setting all channels to sleep by using sleep*_ch. The channels can not be powered down
separately using the PD pin. Setting pdn_pin_cfg<1:0> = ‘10’ congures the circuit to enter (deep) sleep mode when
the PD pin is set high (equal to setting sleep=’1’). When pdn_pin_cfg <1:0>= ‘00’, which is the default, the circuit enters
the power down mode when the PD pin is set high.
The lvds_pd_mode register congures whether the LVDS data output drivers are powered down or kept alive in sleep
and sleep channel modes. LCLK and FCLK drivers are not affected by this register, and are always on in sleep and
sleep channel modes. If lvds_pd_mode is set low (default), the LVDS output is put in high Z mode, and the driver is
completely powered down. If lvds_pd_mode is set high, the LVDS output is set to constant 0, and the driver is still on
during sleep and sleep channel modes.

There is a digital ne gain implemented for each ADC branch to adjust the ne gain errors between the branches.
The gain is controlled by fgain_branch* as dened in table 24. For the high speed interleaved modes, there will be no
missing codes when using digital ne gain, due to higher resolution internally (1 bit).
To enable the ne gain function the register bit ne_gain_en has to be activated, set to ‘1’.

To ease the LVDS synchronization setup of HMCAD1520, several test patterns can be set up on the outputs. Normal
ADC data are replaced by the test pattern in these modes. Setting en_ramp to ‘1’ sets up a repeating full-scale ramp
pattern on all data outputs. The ramp starts at code zero and is increased 1LSB every clock cycle. It returns to zero
code and starts the ramp again after reaching the full-scale code.
A constant value can be set up on the outputs by setting single_custom_pat to ‘1’, and programming the desired value
in bits_custom1<15:0>. In this mode, bits_custom1<15:0> replaces the ADC data at the output, and is controlled by
LSB-rst and MSB-rst modes in the same way as normal ADC data are.
The device may also be set up to alternate between two codes by programming dual_custom_pat to ‘1’. The two
codes are the contents of bits_custom1<15:0> and bits_custom2<15:0>.
Since bit_custom*<15:0> is a 16 bit word there will be a truncation at the LSB side when using less than 16 bits in the
LVDS output word. If 12-bit output is selected bit <15:4> will be used, if 14-bit output is used bit <15:2> will be used and
if dual 8-bit is selected bit<15:8> will be put on the LVDS ‘A’ output and bit <7:0> will be put on the LVDS ‘B’ output.
Two preset patterns can also be selected:
1. Deskew pattern: Set using pat_deskew, this mode replaces the ADC output with a pattern consisting of alter-
nating zeros and ones - MSB will be a zero. For a 12-bit output the pattern will be: ‘010101010101’
2. Sync pattern: Set using pat_sync, the normal ADC word is in this mode replaced by a xed synchronization
pattern where the output word is split in two and the upper part of the word is ones and the lower part is zeros.
For a 12-bit output the pattern will be: ‘111111000000’.
Note: Only one of the above patterns should be selected at the same time.

HMCAD1520
v04.1015
HIGH SPEED MULTI-MODE 8/12/14-BIT
1000/640/105 MSPS A/D CONVERTER
Theory of Operation
HMCAD1520 is a Multi-Mode high-speed, CMOS
ADC, consisting of 8 ADC branches, congured in
different channel modes, using interleaving to achieve
high speed sampling. For all practical purposes, the
device can be considered to contain 4 ADCs. Fine gain
is adjusted for each of the eight branches separately.
HMCAD1520 utilizes a LVDS output, described in
‘Register Description, LVDS Output Conguration and
Control’. The clocks needed (FCLK, LCLK) for the
LVDS interface are generated by an internal PLL.
The HMCAD1520 operate from one clock input, which
can be differential or single ended. The sampling
clocks for each of the four channels are generated
from the clock input using a carefully matched clock
buffer tree. Internal clock dividers are utilized to control
the clock for each ADC during interleaving. The clock
tree is controlled by the Mode of operations.
HMCAD1520 uses internally generated references.
The differential reference value is 1V. This results in
a differential input of −1V to correspond to the zero
code of the ADC, and a differential input of +1V to
correspond to the maximum code.
The ADC employs a Pipeline converter architecture.
each Pipeline Stage feeds its output data into the
digital error correction logic, ensuring excellent
differential linearity and no missing codes.
HMCAD1520 operates from two sets of supplies
and grounds. The analog supply and ground set is
identied as AVDD and AVSS, while the digital set is
identied by DVDD and DVSS.
Interleaving Effects and Sampling Order
Interleaving ADCs will generate interleaving artifacts
caused by gain, offset and timing mismatch between
the ADC branches. The design of HMCAD1520 has
been optimized to minimize these effects. It is not
possible, though, to eliminate mismatch, such that
additional compensation may be needed. The internal
digital ne gain control may be used to compensate
for gain errors between the ADC branches. Due to
the optimization of HMCAD1520 there is not a one-
to-one correspondence between the sampling order,
LVDS output order and the branch number. Tables
25, 26 and 27 give an overview of the corresponding
branches, LVDS outputs and sampling order for the
different high speed modes.

Precision Mode
In precision mode the resolution of each ADC channel
is increased from 12 bits to 14 bits. In order to get the
additional performance, the LVDS outputs have to be
set up in 14, 16 or dual 8-bit conguration.
When digital ne gain (registers 34-37hex) is used in
precision mode, the mapping between ADC channel
and ADC branch in table 28 should be used.

Analog Input
The analog input to HMCAD1520 is a switched capacitor
track-and-hold amplier optimized for differential
operation. Operation at common mode voltages at mid
supply is recommended even if performance will be
good for the ranges specied. The VCM pin provides
a voltage suitable as common mode voltage reference.
The internal buffer for the VCM voltage can be
switched off, and driving capabilities can be changed
programming the ext_vcm_bc<1:0> register.

Figure 13: Input conguration
Figure 13 shows a simplied drawing of the input
network. The signal source must have sufficiently low
output impedance to charge the sampling capacitors
within one clock cycle. A small external resistor (e.g.
22 ohm) in series with each input is recommended as it
helps reducing 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 lter with the capacitor, and
values must therefore be determined by requirements
for the application.
DC-Coupling
Figure 14 shows a recommended conguration for
DC-coupling. Note that the common mode input
voltage must be controlled according to specied
values. Preferably, the CM_EXT output should be
used as reference to set the common mode voltage.

with HMCAD1520 input specications.

A signal transformer or series capacitors can be

transformer. Make sure that a transformer with
sufficient linearity is selected, and that the bandwidth
of the transformer is appropriate. The bandwidth
should exceed the sampling rate of the ADC with at
least a factor of 10. It is also important to minimize
phase mismatch between the differential ADC inputs
for good HD2 performance. This type of transformer
coupled input is the preferred conguration for high
frequency signals as most differential ampliers do
not have adequate performance at high frequencies.

Magnetic coupling between the transformers and PCB
traces may impact channel crosstalk, and must hence
be taken into account during PCB layout.
If the input signal is traveling a long physical distance
from the signal source to the transformer (for example
a long cable), kick-backs from the ADC will also
travel along this distance. If these kick-backs are
not terminated properly at the source side, they are
reected and will add to the input signal at the ADC
input. This could reduce the ADC performance. To
avoid this effect, the source must effectively terminate
the ADC kick-backs, or the traveling distance should
be very short.

Figure 16: AC coupled input
Figure 16 shows AC-coupling using capacitors.
Resistors from the CM_EXT output, RCM, should be
used to bias the differential input signals to the correct
voltage. The series capacitor, CI, form the high-
pass pole with these resistors, and the values must
therefore be determined based on the requirement to
the high-pass cut-off frequency.
Note that Start Up Time from Sleep Mode and Power
Down Mode will be affected by this lter as the time
required to charge the series capacitors is dependent
on the lter cut-off frequency.
Clock Input and Jitter Considerations
Typically high-speed ADCs use both clock edges to
generate internal timing signals. In HMCAD1520 only
the rising edge of the clock is used. Hence, input clock
duty cycles between 30% and 70% are acceptable.
The input clock can be supplied in a variety of formats.
The clock pins are AC-coupled internally, hence a wide
common mode voltage range is accepted. Differential
clock sources such as LVDS, LVPECL or differential
sine wave can be utilized. LVDS/LVPECL clock signals
must be appropriately terminated as close as possible
to the ADC clock input pins. For CMOS inputs, the
CLKN pin should be connected to ground, and the
CMOS clock signal should be connected to CLKP.
CMOS inputs are not recommended above 200MHz.
For differential sine wave clock input the amplitude
must be at least +/- 0.8 Vpp. No additional conguration
is needed to set up the clock source format.
The quality of the input clock is extremely important for
high-speed, high-resolution ADCs. The contribution to
SNR from clock jitter with a full scale signal at a given
frequency is shown in equation 1.

where fIN is the signal frequency, and εt is the total
rms jitter measured in seconds. The rms jitter is the
total of all jitter sources including the clock generation
circuitry, clock distribution and internal ADC circuitry.
For applications where jitter may limit the obtainable
performance, it is of utmost importance to limit the clock
jitter. This can be obtained by using precise and stable
clock references (e.g. crystal oscillators with good jitter
specications) and make sure the clock distribution
is well controlled. It might be advantageous to use
analog power and ground planes to ensure low noise
on the supplies to all circuitry in the clock distribution.
It is of utmost importance to avoid crosstalk between
the ADC output bits and the clock and between the
analog input signal and the clock since such crosstalk
often results in harmonic distortion.
The jitter performance is improved with reduced rise
and fall times of the input clock. Hence, optimum jitter
performance is obtained with LVDS or LVPECL clock
with fast edges. CMOS and sine wave clock inputs will
result in slightly degraded jitter performance.
If the clock is generated by other circuitry, it should
be re-timed with a low jitter master clock as the last
operation before it is applied to the ADC clock input.
LVDS output frequencies
The relationship between LVDS bitrate and sampling
frequency is:
LVDSbitrate = FS/Nb * N_lvds
Where:
FS is the sampling frequency.
N_lvds is number of output bits on the LVDS interface.
Nb is given by:

If the input clock divider is used FS is given by:
FS = F_clk / clock divide factor
The LCLK frequency is given by:
F_lclk = LVDSBitrate/2
Application Usage Example
This section gives an overview on how HMCAD1520
can be used in an application utilizing all active modes
with a single clock source. The example assumes
that a low jitter 500MHz clock source is applied. A
differential clock should be used, and can be generated
from a single ended low jitter crystal oscillator, using a
transformer or balun in conjunction with ac-coupling to
convert from single ended to differential signal.
Since the resolution is 12 bits in the high speed modes
and 14 bits in precision mode, it will be an advantage to
set the LVDS outputs to 14 or 16 bits to avoid changing
the LVDS interface when going from one of the high
speed modes to precision mode or vice versa. The
extra bits added in the LSB position of the transferred
word can simply be removed in the receiver. In this
example 14 bit LVDS is chosen.
Start-up Initialization
The start-up sequence will be as follows:
•Apply power
•Apply reset (RESETN low, then high, or SPI com-
mand 0x00 0x0001)
•Set power down (PD pin high or SPI command
0x0F 0x0200)
•Set 14bit LVDS output mode (SPI command 0x53
0x0002)
•Set LVDS bit clock phase (phase_ddr, register
0x42)) if other than default must be used (depends
on the receiver).
•Select operating mode, for instance dual channel
high speed mode, and clock divider factor (SPI
command 0x31 0x0102).
•Set active mode (PD pin low or SPI command 0x0F
0x0000)
•Select analog inputs, for instance input 1 on chan-
nel 1 and input 3 on channel 2 (SPI commands
0x3A 0202 and 0x3B 0808)
Change Mode
When changing operational mode, power down must
be activated due to internal synchronization routines.
A typical mode change will then be like this:
•Set power down (PD pin high or SPI command
0x0F 0x0200)
•Change mode to for example Single channel mode
(SPI command 0x31 0x0001)
•Set active mode (PD pin low or SPI command 0x0F
0x0000)
•Select analog inputs, for instance Input 1 (SPI
commands 0x3A 0202 and 0x3B 0202)

in this example and the SPI commands to apply for
each mode.
