ADC10080
10-Bit, 80 MSPS, 3V, 78.6 mW A/D Converter
General Description
The ADC10080 is a monolithic CMOS analog-to-digital con-
verter capable of converting analog input signals into 10-bit
digital words at 80 Megasamples per second (MSPS). This
converter uses a differential, pipeline architecture with digital
error correction and an on-chip sample-and-hold circuit to
provide a complete conversion solution and to minimize pow-
er consumption, while providing excellent dynamic perfor-
mance. A unique sample-and-hold stage yields a full-power
bandwidth of 400 MHz. Operating on a single 3.0V power
supply, this device consumes just 78.6 mW at 80 MSPS, in-
cluding the reference current. The Standby feature reduces
power consumption to just 15 mW.
The differential inputs provide a full scale selectable input
swing of 2.0 VP-P, 1.5 VP-P, 1.0 VP-P, with the possibility of a
single-ended input. Full use of the differential input is recom-
mended for optimum performance. An internal +1.2V preci-
sion bandgap reference is used to set the ADC full-scale
range, and also allows the user to supply a buffered refer-
enced voltage for those applications requiring increased ac-
curacy. The output data format is user choice of offset binary
or two’s complement.
This device is available in the 28-lead TSSOP package and
will operate over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to
+85°C.

Note 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 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.
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = VSSA = VSSIO = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: When the voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (VIN < VSSA or VIN > VDDA), 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.
Note 4: The absolute maximum junction temperature (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. In the 28-
pin TSSOP, θJA is 96°C/W, so PDMAX = 1,302 mW at 25°C and 677 mW at the maximum operating ambient temperature of 85°C. Note that the power dissipation
of this device under normal operation will typically be about 78.6 mW. The values for maximum power dissipation listed above will be reached only when the
ADC10080 is operated in a severe fault condition.
Note 5: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through 0Ω.
Note 6: The 235°C reflow temperature refers to infrared reflow. For Vapor Phase Reflow (VPR) the following conditions apply: Maintain the temperature at the
top of the package body above 183°C for a minimum of 60 seconds. The temperature measured on the package body must not exceed 220°C. Only one excursion
above 183°C is allowed per reflow cycle. The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitude up to 500 mV beyond the supply rails will not
damage this device. However, input errors will be generated if the input goes above VDDA or VDDIO and below VSSA or VSSIO.
20048507
Note 7: To guarantee accuracy, it is required that |VDDA–VDDIO| 100 mV and separate bypass capacitors are used at each power supply pin.
Note 8: With the test condition for 2 VP-P differential input, the 10-bit LSB is 1.95 mV.
Note 9: Typical figures are at TA = TJ = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing
Quality Level).
Note 10: Timing specifications are tested at TTL logic levels, VIL = 0.4V for a falling edge, and VIH = 2.4V for a rising edge.
Note 11: Optimum dynamic performance will be obtained by keeping the reference input at +1.2V.
Note 12: IVDDIO 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, VDDIO, and the rate at which the outputs are switching (which is signal dependent). IDR = VDR x (C0 x f0 + C1 x f1 + C2 + f2 +....C11 x f11) where VDR is the
output driver supply voltage, Cn is the total load capacitance on the output pin, and fn is the average frequency at which the pin is toggling.
Note 13: Power consumption includes output driver power. (fIN = 0 MHz).
Note 14: The input bandwidth is limited using a 10 pF capacitor between VIN and VIN+.
Note 15: VCOM is typical value, measured at room temperature. It is not guaranteed by test. This pin should not be loaded.

Specification Definitions
APERTURE DELAY is the time after the rising 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.
COMMON MODE VOLTAGE (VCM) is the d.c. potential
present at both signal inputs to the ADC.
CONVERSION LATENCY See PIPELINE DELAY.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of
the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB.
DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that a repetitive digital
waveform is high to the total time of one period. The specifi-
cation here refers to the ADC clock input signal.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE
BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise and
Distortion or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD - 1.76) / 6.02
and states 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
INTEGRAL NON LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the de-
viation of each individual code from a line drawn from negative
full scale through positive full scale. The deviation of any given
code from this straight line is measured from the center of that
code value.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never ap-
pear at the ADC outputs. The ADC10080 is guaranteed not
to have any missing codes.
NEGATIVE FULL SCALE ERROR is the difference between
the input voltage (VIN+ − VIN) just causing a transition from
negative full scale to the first code and its ideal value of
0.5 LSB.
OFFSET ERROR is the input voltage that will cause a tran-
sition from a code of 01 1111 1111 to a code of 10 0000 0000.
OUTPUT DELAY is the time delay after the rising edge of the
clock before the data update is presented at the output pins.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of clock cycles
between initiation of conversion and when that data is pre-
sented to the output driver stage. Data for any given sample
is available at the output pins the Pipeline Delay plus the Out-
put Delay after the sample is taken. New data is available at
every clock cycle, but the data lags the conversion by the
pipeline delay.
POSITIVE FULL SCALE ERROR is the difference between
the actual last code transition and its ideal value of 1½ LSB
below positive full scale.
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 DC.
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 dBc, 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 f6 are the RMS power in the first 6
harmonic frequencies.
Second Harmonic Distortion (2nd Harm) is the difference
expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the input fre-
quency at the output and the power in its 2nd harmonic level
at the output.
Third Harmonic Distortion (3rd Harm) is the difference, ex-
pressed in dB, between the RMS power in the input frequency
at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic level at the
output.

ADC10080
Functional Description
The ADC10080 uses a pipeline architecture and has error
correction circuitry to help ensure maximum performance.
Differential analog input signals are digitized to 10 bits. In dif-
ferential mode each analog input signal should have a peak-
to-peak voltage equal to 1.0V, 0.75V or 0.5V, depending on
the state of the IRS pin (pin 5), and be centered around VCM
and be 180° out of phase with each other. If single ended
operation is desired, VIN- may be tied to the VCOM pin (pin 4).
A single ended input signal may then be applied to VIN+, and
should have a mid range value of VCOM. The signal amplitude
should be 2.0V, 1.5V or 1.0V peak-to-peak, depending on the
state or the IRS pin (pin 5).
Applications Information
1.0 ANALOG INPUTS
The ADC10080 has two analog signal inputs, VIN+ and VIN−.
These two pins form a differential input pair. There is one
common mode pin VCOM that may be used to set the common
mode input voltage.
1.1 REFERENCE PINS
The ADC10080 is designed to operate with a 1.2V reference.
The voltages at VCOM, VREFT, and VREFB are derived from the
reference voltage. It is very important that all grounds asso-
ciated with the reference voltage and the input signal make
connection to the analog ground plane at a single point to
minimize the effects of noise currents in the ground path. The
three Reference Bypass Pins VREF, VREFT and VREFB, are
made available for bypass purposes only. These pins should
each be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor. DO NOT
LOAD these pins.
1.2 VCOM PIN
This pin supplies a voltage for possible use to set the common
mode input voltage. This pin may also be connected to VIN-,
so that VIN+ may be used as a single ended input. This pin
should be bypassed with at least a 0.1 uF capacitor. Do not
load this pin.
1.3 SIGNAL INPUTS
The signal inputs are VIN+ and VIN−. The input signal ampli-
tude is defined as VIN+ − VIN− and is represented in Figure
3:
20048547
FIGURE 3. Input Voltage Waveforms for a 2VP-P
Differential Input
A single ended input signal is shown in Figure 4.
20048548
FIGURE 4. Input Voltage Waveform for a 2VP-P Single
Ended Input
The internal switching action at the analog inputs causes en-
ergy to be output from the input pins. As the driving source
tries to compensate for this, it adds noise to the signal. To
prevent this, use 18 series resistors at each of the signal
input pins with a 25 pF capacitor across the inputs, as shown
in Figure 5. These components should be placed close to the
ADC because the input pins of the ADC is the most sensitive
part of the system and this is the last opportunity to filter the
input. The two 18 resistors and the 25 pF capacitor form a
low-pass filter with a -3 dB frequency of 177 MHz.
1.4 CLK PIN
The CLK signal controls the timing of the sampling process.
Drive the clock input with a stable, low jitter clock signal in the
frequency range indicated in the AC Electrical Characteristics
Table with rise and fall times of less than 2 ns. The trace car-
rying 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 CLK signal also drives an internal state ma-
chine. If the CLK is interrupted, or its frequency is too low, the
charge on internal capacitors can dissipate to the point where
the accuracy of the output data will degrade. This is what limits
the lowest sample rate. The duty cycle of the clock signal can
affect the performance of any A/D Converter. Because
achieving a precise duty cycle is difficult, the ADC10080 is
designed to maintain performance over a range of duty cy-
cles. While it is specified and performance is guaranteed with
a 50% clock duty cycle, performance is typically maintained
with minimum clock low and high times indicated in the AC
Electrical Characteristics Table. Both minimum high and low
times may not be held simultaneously.
1.5 STBY PIN
The STBY pin, when high, holds the ADC10080 in a power-
down mode to conserve power when the converter is not
being used. The power consumption in this state is 15 mW.
The output data pins are undefined in this mode. Power con-
sumption during power-down is not affected by the clock
frequency, or by whether there is a clock signal present. The
data in the pipeline is corrupted while in power down.
1.6 DF PIN
The DF (Data Format) pin, when high, forces the ADC10080
to output the 2’s complement data format. When DF is tied
low, the output format is offset binary.
1.7 IRS PIN
The IRS (Input Range Select) pin defines the input signal am-
plitude that will produce a full scale output. The table below
describes the function of the IRS pin.

pins. The offset binary data is present at these outputs while
the DF and STBY pins are low. Be very careful when driving
a high capacitance bus. The more capacitance the output
drivers must charge for each conversion, the more instanta-
neous digital current flows through VDDIO and VSSIO. These
large charging current spikes can cause on-chip noise and
couple into the analog circuitry, degrading dynamic perfor-
mance. Adequate bypassing, limiting output capacitance and
careful attention to the ground plane will reduce this problem.
Additionally, bus capacitance beyond the specified
10 pF/pin will cause tOD to increase, making it difficult to prop-
erly latch the ADC output data. The result could be an appar-
ent reduction in dynamic performance. To minimize noise due
to output switching, minimize the load currents at the digital
outputs. This can be done by minimizing load capacitance
and by connecting buffers between the ADC outputs and any
other circuitry, which will isolate the outputs from trace and
other circuit capacitances and limit the output currents, which
could otherwise result in performance degradation. Only one
driven input should be connected to the ADC output pins.
