ADC12C105
12-Bit, 95/105 MSPS A/D Converter
General Description
The ADC12C105 is a high-performance CMOS analog-to-
digital converter capable of converting analog input signals
into 12-bit digital words at rates up to 105 Mega Samples Per
Second (MSPS). This converter uses a differential, pipelined
architecture with digital error correction and an on-chip sam-
ple-and-hold circuit to minimize power consumption and the
external component count, while providing excellent dynamic
performance. A unique sample-and-hold stage yields a full-
power bandwidth of 1 GHz. The ADC12C105 may be oper-
ated from a single +3.0V or +3.3V power supply and
consumes low power.
A separate +2.5V supply may be used for the digital output
interface which allows lower power operation with reduced
noise. A power-down feature reduces the power consumption
to very low levels while still allowing fast wake-up time to full
operation. The differential inputs accept a 2V full scale differ-
ential input swing. A stable 1.2V internal voltage reference is
provided, or the ADC12C105 can be operated with an exter-
nal 1.2V reference. Output data format (offset binary versus
2's complement) and duty cycle stabilizer are pin-selectable.
The duty cycle stabilizer maintains performance over a wide
range of clock duty cycles.
The ADC12C105 is available in a 32-lead LLP package and
operates over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to
+85°C.

Pin Descriptions and Equivalent Circuits
Pin No. Symbol Equivalent Circuit Description
ANALOG I/O
5VIN+
Differential analog input pins. The differential full-scale input signal
level is 2VP-P with each input pin signal centered on a common
mode voltage, VCM.
6VIN-
2VRP 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. A 0.1 µF capacitor should
be placed between VRP and VRN as close to the pins as possible,
and a 1 µF capacitor should be placed in parallel.
VRP and VRN should not be loaded. VCMO may be loaded to 1mA
for use as a temperature stable 1.5V reference.
It is recommended to use VCMO to provide the common mode
voltage, VCM, for the differential analog inputs, VIN+ and VIN−.
32 VCMO
1VRN
31 VREF
Reference Voltage. This device provides an internally developed
1.2V reference. When using the internal reference, VREF should be
decoupled to AGND with a 0.1 µF and a 1 µF low equivalent series
inductance (ESL) capacitor .
This pin may be driven with an external 1.2V reference voltage.
This pin should not be used to source or sink current.
12 OF/DCS
This is a four-state pin controlling the input clock mode and output
data format.
OF/DCS = VA, output data format is 2's complement without duty
cycle stabilization applied to the input clock
OF/DCS = AGND, output data format is offset binary, without duty
cycle stabilization applied to the input clock.
OF/DCS = (2/3)*VA, output data is 2's complement with duty cycle
stabilization applied to the input clock
OF/DCS = (1/3)*VA, output data is offset binary with duty cycle
stabilization applied to the input clock.
DIGITAL I/O
11 CLK The clock input pin.
The analog input is sampled on the rising edge of the clock input.
30 PD
This is a two-state input controlling Power Down.
PD = VA, Power Down is enabled and power dissipation is reduced.
PD = AGND, Normal operation.

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: Parameters specified in dBFS indicate 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 0 Ω
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 2.6V or below GND as described in the Operating Ratings section.

Note 9: With a full scale differential input of 2VP-P , the 12-bit LSB is 488 µV.
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: IDR is the current consumed by the switching of the output drivers and is primarily determined by load capacitance on the output pins, the supply voltage,
VDR, and the rate at which the outputs are switching (which is signal dependent). IDR=VDR(C0 x f0 + C1 x f1 +....C11 x f11) where VDR is the output driver power
supply voltage, Cn is total capacitance on the output pin, and fn is the average frequency at which that pin is toggling.
Note 13: 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.
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.
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 ADC12C105 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 2047 to 2048.
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.

ADC12C105
Functional Description
Operating on a single +3.3V supply, the ADC12C105 uses a
pipeline architecture and has error correction circuitry to help
ensure maximum performance. The differential analog input
signal is digitized to 12 bits. The user has the choice of using
an internal 1.2V stable reference, or using an external 1.2V
reference. Any external reference is buffered on-chip to ease
the task of driving that pin.
The output word rate is the same as the clock frequency. The
analog input is acquired at the rising edge of the clock and the
digital data for a given sample is delayed by the pipeline for
7 clock cycles. The digital outputs are CMOS compatible sig-
nals that are clocked by a synchronous data ready output
signal (DRDY, pin 21) at the same rate as the clock input. Duty
cycle stabilization and output data format are selectable using
the quad state function OF/DCS pin (pin 12). The output data
can be set for offset binary or two's complement.
Power-down is selectable using the PD pin (pin 30). A logic
high on the PD pin reduces the converter power consumption.
For normal operation, the PD pin should be connected to the
analog ground (AGND).
Applications Information
1.0 OPERATING CONDITIONS
We recommend that the following conditions be observed for
operation of the ADC12C105:
2.7V VA 3.6V
2.4V VDR VA
20 MHz fCLK 105 MHz
1.2V internal reference
VREF = 1.2V (for an external reference)
VCM = 1.5V (from VCMO)
2.0 ANALOG INPUTS
2.1 Signal Inputs
2.1.1 Differential Analog Input Pins
The ADC12C105 has one pair of analog signal input pins,
VIN+ and VIN−, which form a differential input pair. The input
signal, VIN, is defined as
VIN = (VIN+) – (VIN−)
Figure 3 shows the expected input signal range. Note that the
common mode input voltage, VCM, should be 1.5V. Using
VCMO (pin 32) 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 2.6V.
Each analog input pin of the differential pair should have a
maximum peak-to-peak voltage of 1V, 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.

FIGURE 3. Expected Input Signal Range
For single frequency sine waves the full scale error in LSB
can be described as approximately
EFS = 4096 ( 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 4). 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.
30023116
FIGURE 4. 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).

2.1.2 Driving the Analog Inputs
The VIN+ and the VIN− inputs of the ADC12C105 have an in-
ternal sample-and-hold circuit which consists of an analog
switch followed by a switched-capacitor amplifier.
Figure 5 and Figure 5 show examples of single-ended to dif-
ferential conversion circuits. The circuit in Figure 5 works well
for input frequencies up to approximately 70MHz, while the
circuit in Figure 6 works well above 70MHz.
30023120
FIGURE 5. Low Input Frequency Transformer Drive Circuit
30023121
FIGURE 6. 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.
The SFDR performance of the converter depends on the ex-
ternal signal conditioning circuity used, as this affects how
quickly the sample-and-hold charging glitch will settle. An ex-
ternal resistor and capacitor network as shown in Figure 7
should be used to isolate the charging glitches at the ADC
input from the external driving circuit and to filter the wideband
noise at the converter input. These components should be
placed close to the ADC inputs because the analog input of
the ADC is the most sensitive part of the system, and this is
the last opportunity to filter that input. For Nyquist applications
the RC pole should be at the ADC sample rate. The ADC input
capacitance in the sample mode should be considered when
setting the RC pole. For wideband undersampling applica-
tions, the RC pole should be set at least 1.5 to 2 times the
maximum input frequency to maintain a linear delay re-
sponse.
2.1.3 Input Common Mode Voltage
The input common mode voltage, VCM, should be in the range
of 1.4V to 1.6V and be a value such that the peak excursions
of the analog signal do not go more negative than ground or
more positive than 2.6V. It is recommended to use VCMO (pin
32) as the input common mode voltage.
If the ADC12C105 is operated with VA=3.6V, a resistor of ap-
proximately 1K should be used from the VCMO pin to
AGND.This will help maintain stability over the entire temper-
ature range when using a high supply voltage.
2.2 Reference Pins
The ADC12C105 is designed to operate with an internal or
external 1.2V reference. The internal 1.2 Volt reference is the
default condition when no external reference input is applied
to the VREF pin. If a voltage is applied to the VREF pin, then
that voltage is used for the reference. The VREF pin should
19 www.national.com
ADC12C105
always 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, VCMO, and VRN) are made
available for bypass purposes. These pins should each be
bypassed to AGND with a low ESL (equivalent series induc-
tance) 1 µF capacitor placed very close to the pin to minimize
stray inductance. A 0.1 µF capacitor should be placed be-
tween VRP and VRN as close to the pins as possible, and a 1
µF capacitor should be placed in parallel. This configuration
is shown in Figure 7. It is necessary to avoid reference oscil-
lation, which could result in reduced SFDR and/or SNR.
VCMO may be loaded to 1mA for use as a temperature stable
1.5V 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 VCMO may result in performance degradation.
The nominal voltages for the reference bypass pins are as
follows:
VCMO = 1.5 V
VRP = 2.0 V
VRN = 1.0 V
2.3 OF/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. With OF/DCS = VA the
output data format is 2's complement and duty cycle stabi-
lization is not used. With OF/DCS = AGND the output data
format is offset binary and duty cycle stabilization is not used.
With OF/DCS = (2/3)*VA the output data format is 2's com-
plement and duty cycle stabilization is applied to the clock. If
OF/DCS is (1/3)*VA the output data format is offset binary and
duty cycle stabilization is applied to the clock. While the sense
of this pin may be changed "on the fly," doing this is not rec-
ommended as the output data could be erroneous for a few
clock cycles after this change is made.
3.0 DIGITAL INPUTS
Digital CMOS compatible inputs consist of CLK, and PD.
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°.
The clock signal also drives an internal state machine. 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. However, if that source is used to drive
other devices, then each driven pin should be AC terminated
with a series RC to ground, such that the resistor value is
equal to the characteristic impedance of the clock line and the
capacitor value is
where tPD is the signal propagation rate down the clock line,
"L" is the line length and ZO is the characteristic impedance
of the clock line. This termination should be as close as pos-
sible to the ADC clock pin but beyond it as seen from the clock
source. Typical tPD is about 150 ps/inch (60 ps/cm) on FR-4
board material. The units of "L" and tPD should be the same
(inches or centimeters).
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 ADC12C105 has a Duty Cycle Stabilizer. It is
designed to maintain performance over a clock duty cycle
range of 30% to 70%.
3.2 Power-Down (PD)
The PD pin, when high, holds the ADC12C105 in a power-
down mode to conserve power when the converter is not
being used. The power consumption in this state is 5 mW if
the clock is stopped when PD is high. The output data pins
are undefined and the data in the pipeline is corrupted while
in the power down mode.
The Power Down Mode Exit Cycle time is determined by the
value of the components on pins 1, 2, and 32 and is about 3
ms with the recommended components on the VRP, VCMO and
VRN reference bypass pins. These capacitors loose their
charge in the Power Down mode and must be recharged by
on-chip circuitry before conversions can be accurate. Smaller
capacitor values allow slightly faster recovery from the power
down mode, but can result in a reduction in SNR, SINAD and
ENOB performance.
4.0 DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Digital outputs consist of the CMOS signals D0-D11, and
DRDY.
The ADC12C105 has 13 CMOS compatible data output pins
corresponding to the converted input value and a data ready
(DRDY) signal that should be used to capture the output data.
Valid data is present at these outputs while the PD pin is low.
Data should be captured and latched with the rising edge of
the DRDY signal.
Be very careful when driving a high capacitance bus. The
more capacitance the output drivers must charge for each
conversion, the more instantaneous digital current flows
through VDR and DRGND. These large charging current
spikes can cause on-chip ground noise and couple into the
analog circuitry, degrading dynamic performance. Adequate
bypassing, limiting output capacitance and careful attention
to the ground plane will reduce this problem. The result could
be an apparent reduction in dynamic performance.

FIGURE 7. Application Circuit
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-
C12C105 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.
The VDR pin provides power for the output drivers and may be
operated from a supply in the range of 2.4V to VA. This en-
ables lower power operation, reduces the noise coupling
effects from the digital outputs to the analog circuitry and sim-
plifies interfacing to lower voltage devices and systems.
6.0 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essen-
tial to ensure accurate conversion. Maintaining separate ana-
log and digital areas of the board, with the ADC12C105
between these areas, is required to achieve specified perfor-
mance.
The ground return for the data outputs (DRGND) carries the
ground current for the output drivers. The output current can
exhibit high transients that could add noise to the conversion
process. To prevent this from happening, the DRGND pins
should NOT be connected to system ground in close proximity
to any of the ADC12C105's other ground pins.
Capacitive coupling between the typically noisy digital circuit-
ry and the sensitive analog circuitry can lead to poor perfor-
mance. The solution is to keep the analog circuitry separated
from the digital circuitry, and to keep the clock line as short as
possible.
The effects of the noise generated from the ADC output
switching can be minimized through the use of 22 resistors
in series with each data output line. Locate these resistors as
close to the ADC output pins as possible.
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 area.
Generally, analog and digital lines should cross each other at
90° to avoid crosstalk. To maximize accuracy in high speed,
high resolution systems, however, avoid crossing analog and
digital lines altogether. It is important to keep clock lines as
short as possible and isolated from ALL other lines, including
other digital lines. Even the generally accepted 90° crossing
should be avoided with the clock line as even a little coupling
can cause problems at high frequencies. This is because oth-
er lines can introduce jitter into the clock line, which can lead
to degradation of SNR. Also, the high speed clock can intro-
duce noise into the analog chain.
Best performance at high frequencies and at high resolution
is obtained with a straight signal path. That is, the signal path
through all components should form a straight line wherever
possible.
Be especially careful with the layout of inductors and trans-
formers. Mutual inductance can change the characteristics of
the circuit in which they are used. Inductors and transformers
should not be placed side by side, even with just a small part
of their bodies beside each other. For instance, place trans-
formers for the analog input and the clock input at 90° to one
another to avoid magnetic coupling.
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces
to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. Any ex-
ternal component (e.g., a filter capacitor) connected between
the converter's input pins and ground or to the reference input
pin and ground should be connected to a very clean point in
the ground plane.
All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, reference compo-
nents, etc.) should be placed in the analog area of the board.
All digital circuitry and dynamic I/O lines should be placed in
the digital area of the board. The ADC12C105 should be be-
tween these two areas. Furthermore, all components in the
reference circuitry and the input signal chain that are con-
nected to ground should be connected together with short
21 www.national.com
ADC12C105
traces and enter the ground plane at a single, quiet point. All
ground connections should have a low inductance path to
ground.
7.0 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
To achieve the best dynamic performance, the clock source
driving the CLK input must have a sharp transition region and
be free of jitter. Isolate the ADC clock from any digital circuitry
with buffers, as with the clock tree shown in Figure 8. The
gates used in the clock tree must be capable of operating at
frequencies much higher than those used if added jitter is to
be prevented.
As mentioned in Section 6.0, 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, which can lead to reduced SNR perfor-
mance, and the clock can introduce noise into other lines.
Even lines with 90° crossings have capacitive coupling, so try
to avoid even these 90° crossings of the clock line.
