3.1 Pin Attributes
Table 3-1. Analog Front-End and Clock Balls
PIN I/O EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
Differential Converter Sampling Clock. In
the Non-DES Mode, the analog inputs
are sampled on the positive transitions of
CLK+/- U2/V1 I this clock signal. In the DES Mode, the
selected input is sampled on both
transitions of this clock. This clock must
be AC-coupled.
Differential DCLK Reset. A positive pulse
on this input is used to reset the DCLKI
and DCLKQ outputs of two or more
ADC12D1x00RFs to synchronize them
with other ADC12D1x00RFs in the
system. DCLKI and DCLKQ are always in
phase with each other, unless one
DCLK_RST+/- V2/W1 I channel is powered down, and do not
require a pulse from DCLK_RST to
become synchronized. The pulse applied
here must meet timing relationships with
respect to the CLK input. Although
supported, this feature has been
superseded by AutoSync.
Reference Clock Input. When the
AutoSync feature is active, and the
ADC12D1x00RF is in Slave Mode, the
internal divided clocks are synchronized
RCLK+/- Y4/W5 I with respect to this input clock. The delay
on this clock may be adjusted when
synchronizing multiple ADCs. This
feature is available in ECM through
Control Register (Addr: Eh).

Reference Clock Output 1 and 2. These
signals provide a reference clock at a
rate of CLK/4, when enabled,
independently of whether the ADC is in
Master or Slave Mode. They are used to
drive the RCLK of another
ADC12D1x00RF, to enable automatic
synchronization for multiple ADCs
RCOut1+/- Y5/U6 O (AutoSync feature). The impedance of
RCOut2+/- V6/V7 each trace from RCOut1 and RCOut2 to
the RCLK of another ADC12D1x00RF
should be 100-Ωdifferential. Having two
clock outputs allows the auto-
synchronization to propagate as a binary
tree. Use the DOC Bit (Addr: Eh, Bit 1) to
enable or disable this feature; default is
disabled.
External Reference Resistor terminals. A
3.3-kΩ±0.1% resistor should be
connected between Rext+/-. The Rext
resistor is used as a reference to trim
Rext+/- C3/D3 I/O internal circuits which affect the linearity
of the converter; the value and precision
of this resistor should not be
compromised.
Input Termination Trim Resistor
terminals. A 3.3-kΩ±0.1% resistor should
be connected between Rtrim+/-. The
Rtrim resistor is used to establish the
calibrated 100-Ωinput impedance of VinI,
Rtrim+/- C1/D2 I/O VinQ and CLK. These impedances may
be fine tuned by varying the value of the
resistor by a corresponding percentage;
however, the tuning range and
performance is not specified for such an
alternate value.
Temperature Sensor Diode Positive
(Anode) and Negative (Cathode)
Tdiode+/- E2/F3 Passive Terminals. This set of pins is used for die
temperature measurements. It has not
been fully characterized.

PIN I/O EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
Bandgap Voltage Output or LVDS
Common-mode Voltage Select. This pin
provides a buffered version of the
bandgap output voltage and is capable of
sourcing or sinking 100 µA and driving a
VBG B1 O load of up to 80 pF. Alternately, this pin
may be used to select the LVDS digital
output common-mode voltage. If tied to
logic-high, the 1.2-V LVDS common-
mode voltage is selected; 0.8 V is the
default.
Common-Mode Voltage Output or Signal
Coupling Select. If AC-coupled operation
at the analog inputs is desired, this pin
should be held at logic-low level. This pin
is capable of sourcing or sinking up to
100 µA. For DC-coupled operation, this
VCMO C2 I/O pin should be left floating or terminated
into high impedance. In DC-coupled
Mode, this pin provides an output voltage
which is the optimal common-mode
voltage for the input signal and should be
used to set the common-mode voltage of
the driving buffer.
Differential signal I- and Q-inputs. In the
Non-Dual Edge Sampling (Non-DES)
Mode, each I- and Q-input is sampled
and converted by its respective channel
with each positive transition of the CLK
input. In Non-ECM (Non-Extended
Control Mode) and DES Mode, both
channels sample the I-input. In Extended
Control Mode (ECM), the Q-input may
optionally be selected for conversion in
DES Mode by the DEQ Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit
6).
Each I- and Q-channel input has an
internal common-mode bias that is
disabled when DC-coupled Mode is
VinI+/- H1/J1 I selected. Both inputs must be either AC-
VinQ+/- N1/M1 or DC-coupled. The coupling mode is
selected by the VCMO Pin.
In Non-ECM, the full-scale range of these
inputs is determined by the FSR Pin;
both I- and Q-channels have the same
full-scale input range. In ECM, the full-
scale input range of the I- and Q-channel
inputs may be independently set through
the Control Register (Addr: 3hand Addr:
Bh). The high and low full-scale input
range setting in Non-ECM corresponds to
the mid and minimum full-scale input
range in ECM.
The input offset may also be adjusted in
ECM.

Calibration cycle initiate. The user can
command the device to execute a self-
calibration cycle by holding this input high
a minimum of tCAL_H after having held it
low a minimum of tCAL_L. If this input is
held high at the time of power on, the
automatic power-on calibration cycle is
CAL D6 I inhibited until this input is cycled low-then-
high. This pin is active in both ECM and
Non-ECM. In ECM, this pin is logically
OR'd with the CAL Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 15)
in the Control Register. Therefore, both
pin and bit must be set low and then
either can be set high to execute an on-
command calibration.
Calibration Delay select. By setting this
input logic-high or logic-low, the user can
select the device to wait a longer or
shorter amount of time, respectively,
CalDly V4 I before the automatic power-on self-
calibration is initiated. This feature is pin-
controlled only and is always active
during ECM and Non-ECM.
Calibration Running indication. This
output is logic-high while the calibration
CalRun B5 O sequence is executing. This output is
logic-low otherwise.
DDR Phase select. This input, when
logic-low, selects the Data-to-DCLK
phase relationship. When logic-high, it
selects the 90° Data-to-DCLK phase
relationship, that is, the DCLK transition
indicates the middle of the valid data
DDRPh W4 I outputs. This pin only has an effect when
the chip is in 1:2 Demuxed Mode, that is,
the NDM pin is set to logic-low. In ECM,
this input is ignored and the DDR phase
is selected through the Control Register
by the DPS Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 14); the
default is Mode.

PIN I/O EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
Dual Edge Sampling (DES) Mode select.
In the Non-Extended Control Mode (Non-
ECM), when this input is set to logic-high,
the DES Mode of operation is selected,
meaning that the VinI input is sampled by
both channels in a time-interleaved
manner. The VinQ input is ignored. When
DES V5 I this input is set to logic-low, the device is
in Non-DES Mode, that is, the I- and Q-
channels operate independently. In the
Extended Control Mode (ECM), this input
is ignored and DES Mode selection is
controlled through the Control Register by
the DES Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 7); default is
Non-DES Mode operation.
Do Not Connect. These pins are used for
D1, D7, E3, internal purposes and should not be
DNC NONE
F4, W3, U7 connected, that is, left floating. Do not
ground.
Extended Control Enable bar. Extended
feature control through the SPI interface
is enabled when this signal is asserted
(logic-low). In this case, most of the direct
control pins have no effect. When this
ECE B3 I signal is deasserted (logic-high), the SPI
interface is disabled, all SPI registers are
reset to their default values, and all
available settings are controlled through
the control pins.
Full-Scale input Range select. In Non-
ECM, when this input is set to logic-low or
logic-high, the full-scale differential input
range for both I- and Q-channel inputs is
set to the lower or higher FSR value,
respectively. In the ECM, this input is
FSR Y3 I ignored and the full-scale range of the I-
and Q-channel inputs is independently
determined by the setting of Addr: 3hand
Addr: Bh, respectively. The high (lower)
FSR value in Non-ECM corresponds to
the mid (minimum) available selection in
ECM; the FSR range in ECM is greater.
Not Connected. This pin is not bonded
NC C7 NONE and may be left floating or connected to
any potential.
Non-Demuxed Mode select. Setting this
input to logic-high causes the digital
output bus to be in the 1:1 Non-Demuxed
Mode. Setting this input to logic-low
NDM A5 I causes the digital output bus to be in the
1:2 Demuxed Mode. This feature is pin-
controlled only and remains active during
ECM and Non-ECM.

Power Down I- and Q-channel. Setting
either input to logic-high powers down the
respective I- or Q-channel. Setting either
input to logic-low brings the respective I-
or Q-channel to a operational state after a
PDI U3 finite time delay. This pin is active in both
I
PDQ V3 ECM and Non-ECM. In ECM, each Pin is
logically OR'd with its respective Bit.
Therefore, either this pin or the PDI and
PDQ Bit in the Control Register can be
used to power down the I- and Q-channel
(Addr: 0h, Bit 11 and Bit 10), respectively.
Serial Clock. In ECM, serial data is shifted
into and out of the device synchronously
to this clock signal. This clock may be
SCLK C5 I disabled and held logic-low, as long as
timing specifications are not violated
when the clock is enabled or disabled.
Serial Chip Select bar. In ECM, when this
signal is asserted (logic-low), SCLK is
used to clock in serial data which is
SCS C4 I present on SDI and to source serial data
on SDO. When this signal is deasserted
(logic-high), SDI is ignored and SDO is in
tri-stated.
Serial Data-In. In ECM, serial data is
SDI B4 I shifted into the device on this pin while
SCS signal is asserted (logic-low).
Serial Data-Out. In ECM, serial data is
shifted out of the device on this pin while
SDO A3 O SCS signal is asserted (logic-low). This
output is tri-stated when SCS is
deasserted.

PIN I/O EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
Data Clock Output for the I- and Q-
channel data bus. These differential clock
outputs are used to latch the output data
and, if used, should always be terminated
with a 100-Ωdifferential resistor placed as
closely as possible to the differential
receiver. Delayed and non-delayed data
DCLKI+/- K19/K20 outputs are supplied synchronously to this
O
DCLKQ+/- L19/L20 signal. In 1:2 Demux Mode or Non-
Demux Mode, this signal is at ¼ or ½ the
sampling clock rate, respectively. DCLKI
and DCLKQ are always in phase with
each other, unless one channel is
powered down, and do not require a
pulse from DCLK_RST to become
synchronized.

DI6+/- F18/F19 I- and Q-channel Digital Data Outputs. In
DI5+/- E19/E20 Non-Demux Mode, this LVDS data is
DI4+/- D19/D20 transmitted at the sampling clock rate. In
DI3+/- D18/E18 Demux Mode, these outputs provide ½
DI2+/- C19/C20 the data at ½ the sampling clock rate,
DI1+/- B19/B20 synchronized with the delayed data, that
DI0+/- B18/C17 is, the other ½ of the data which was
· · O sampled one clock cycle earlier.
DQ11+/- M18/M19 Compared with the DId and DQd outputs,
DQ10+/- N19/N20 these outputs represent the later time
DQ9+/- N17/N18 samples. If used, each of these outputs
DQ8+/- P19/P20 should always be terminated with a 100-Ω
DQ7+/- P17/P18 differential resistor placed as closely as
DQ6+/- R18/R19 possible to the differential receiver.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) All voltages are measured with respect to GND = GNDTC = GNDDR = GNDE= 0 V, unless otherwise specified.
(3) When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply limits, that is, less than GND or greater than VA, the current at that pin
should be limited to 50 mA. In addition, overvoltage at a pin must adhere to the maximum voltage limits. Simultaneous overvoltage at
multiple pins requires adherence to the maximum package power dissipation limits. These dissipation limits are calculated using JEDEC
JESD51-7 thermal model. Higher dissipation may be possible based on specific customer thermal situation and specified package
thermal resistances from junction to case.

(1) Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. There is no specification of operation at the
Absolute Maximum Ratings.Recommended Operating Conditions indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not
ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see the 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 = GNDTC = GNDDR = GNDE = 0 V, unless otherwise specified.
(3) Proper common-mode voltage must be maintained to ensure proper output codes, especially during input overdrive.
(4) This rating is intended for DC-coupled applications; the voltages and duty cycles listed may be safely applied to VIN+/- for the lifetime of
the part.

(1) The analog inputs, labeled "I/O", are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes beyond the Absolute Maximum Ratings may
damage this device.
(2) To ensure accuracy, it is required that VA, VTC, VEand VDR be well-bypassed. Each supply pin must be decoupled with separate bypass
capacitors.
(3) Typical figures are at TA= 25°C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are specified to TI's AOQL (Average Outgoing
Quality Level).
(4) Calculation of Full-Scale Error for this device assumes that the actual reference voltage is exactly its nominal value. Full-Scale Error for
this device, therefore, is a combination of Full-Scale Error and Reference Voltage Error. See Figure 4-8. For relationship between Gain
Error and Full-Scale Error, see Specification Definitions for Gain Error.
(5) This parameter is specified by design and is not tested in production.

(1) This parameter is specified by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.
(2) The –3 dB point is the traditional Full-Power Bandwidth (FPBW) specification. Although the insertion loss is approximately half at this
frequency, the dynamic performance of the ADC does not necessarily begin to degrade to a level below which it may be effectively used
in an application. The ADC may be used at input frequencies above the –3 dB FPBW point, for example for the ADC12D1000RF, into
the 5th Nyquist zone. Depending on system requirements, it is only necessary to compensate for the insertion loss.

5 Detailed Description
5.1 Overview
The ADC12D1x00RF device is a versatile A/D converter with an innovative architecture which permits
very high-speed operation. The controls available ease the application of the device to circuit solutions.
Optimum performance requires adherence to the provisions discussed here and in Application Information.
This section covers an overview, a description of control modes (Extended Control Mode and Non-
Extended Control Mode), and features.
The ADC12D1x00RF uses a calibrated folding and interpolating architecture that achieves a high Effective
Number of Bits (ENOB). The use of folding amplifiers greatly reduces the number of comparators and
power consumption. Interpolation reduces the number of front-end amplifiers required, minimizing the load
on the input signal and further reducing power requirements. In addition to correcting other non-idealities,
ON-chip calibration reduces the INL bow often seen with folding architectures. The result is an extremely
fast, high performance, low power converter.
The analog input signal (which is within the converter's input voltage range) is digitized to twelve bits at
speeds of 150/150 MSPS to 3.2/2.0 GSPS, typical. Differential input voltages below negative full-scale will
cause the output word to consist of all zeroes. Differential input voltages above positive full-scale will
cause the output word to consist of all ones. Either of these conditions at the I- or Q-input will cause the
Out-of-Range I-channel or Q-channel output (ORI or ORQ), respectively, to output a logic-high signal.
In ECM, an expanded feature set is available through the Serial Interface. The ADC12D1x00RF builds
upon previous architectures, introducing a new DES Mode timing adjust feature, AutoSync feature for
multi-chip synchronization and increasing to 15-bit for gain and 12-bit plus sign for offset the independent
programmable adjustment for each channel.
Each channel has a selectable output demultiplexer which feeds two LVDS buses. If the 1:2 Demux Mode
is selected, the output data rate is reduced to half the input sample rate on each bus. When Non-Demux
Mode is selected, the output data rate on each channel is at the same rate as the input sample clock and
only one 12-bit bus per channel is active.

5.3.1 Input Control and Adjust
There are several features and configurations for the input of the ADC12D1x00RF so that it may be used
in many different applications. This section covers AC/DC-coupled Mode, input full-scale range adjust,
input offset adjust, DES/Non-DES Mode, and sampling clock phase adjust.
5.3.1.1 AC- and DC-coupled Mode
The analog inputs may be AC- or DC-coupled. See AC/DC-Coupled Mode Pin (VCMO) for information on
how to select the desired mode and DC-coupled Input Signals and AC-coupled Input Signals for
applications information.
5.3.1.2 Input Full-Scale Range Adjust
The input full-scale range for the ADC12D1x00RF may be adjusted through Non-ECM or ECM. In Non-
ECM, a control pin selects a higher or lower value; see Full-Scale Input Range Pin (FSR). In ECM, the
input full-scale range may be adjusted with 15-bits of precision. See VIN_FSR in Electrical Characteristics:
Analog Input/Output and Reference for electrical specification details. The higher and lower full-scale input
range settings in Non-ECM correspond to the mid and min full-scale input range settings in ECM. It is
necessary to execute an on-command calibration following a change of the input full-scale range. See
Memory for information about the registers.
5.3.1.3 Input Offset Adjust
The input offset adjust for the ADC12D1x00RF may be adjusted with 12-bits of precision plus sign through
ECM. See Memory for information about the registers.
5.3.1.4 DES Timing Adjust
The performance of the ADC12D1x00RF in DES Mode depends on how well the two channels are
interleaved, that is, that the clock samples either channel with precisely a 50% duty-cycle, each channel
has the same offset (nominally code 2047/2048), and each channel has the same full-scale range. The
ADC12D1x00RF includes an automatic clock phase background adjustment in DES Mode to automatically
and continuously adjust the clock phase of the I- and Q-channels. In addition to this, the residual fixed

timing skew offset may be further manually adjusted, and further reduce timing spurs for specific
applications. See the DES Timing Adjust (Addr: 7h). As the DES Timing Adjust is programmed from 0dto
127d, the magnitude of the Fs/2-Fin timing interleaving spur will decrease to a local minimum and then
increase again. The default, nominal setting of 64dmay or may not coincide with this local minimum. The
user may manually skew the global timing to achieve the lowest possible timing interleaving spur.
5.3.1.5 Sampling Clock Phase Adjust
The sampling clock (CLK) phase may be delayed internally to the ADC up to 825 ps in ECM. This feature
is intended to help the system designer remove small imbalances in clock distribution traces at the board
level when multiple ADCs are used, or to simplify complex system functions such as beam steering for
phase array antennas.
Additional delay in the clock path also creates additional jitter when using the sampling clock phase adjust.
Because the sampling clock phase adjust delays all clocks, including the DCLKs and output data, the user
is strongly advised to use the minimal amount of adjustment and verify the net benefit of this feature in his
system before relying on it.
5.3.2 Output Control and Adjust
There are several features and configurations for the output of the ADC12D1x00RF so that it may be used
in many different applications. This section covers DDR clock phase, LVDS output differential and
common-mode voltage, output formatting, Demux/Non-demux Mode, Test Pattern Mode, and Time Stamp.
5.3.2.1 SDR / DDR Clock
The ADC12D1x00RF output data can be delivered in Double Data Rate (DDR) or Single Data Rate
(SDR). For DDR, the DCLK frequency is half the data rate and data is sent to the outputs on both edges
of DCLK; see Figure 5-1. The DCLK-to-Data phase relationship may be either or 90°. For Mode, the
Data transitions on each edge of the DCLK. Any offset from this timing is tOSK; see Electrical
Characteristics: AC for details. For 90° Mode, the DCLK transitions in the middle of each Data cell. Setup
and hold times for this transition, tSU and tH, may also be found in Electrical Characteristics: AC. The
DCLK-to-Data phase relationship may be selected through the DDRPh Pin in Non-ECM (see Dual Data
Rate Phase Pin (DDRPh)) or the DPS bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 14) in ECM.
Figure 5-1. DDR DCLK-to-Data Phase Relationship
For SDR, the DCLK frequency is the same as the data rate and data is sent to the outputs on a single
edge of DCLK; see SDR DCLK-to-Data Phase Relationship. The Data may transition on either the rising
or falling edge of DCLK. Any offset from this timing is tOSK; see Electrical Characteristics: AC for details.
The DCLK rising / falling edge may be selected through the SDR bit in the Configuration Register (Addr:
0h; Bit: 2) in ECM only.

5.3.2.2 LVDS Output Differential Voltage
The ADC12D1x00RF is available with a selectable higher or lower LVDS output differential voltage. This
parameter is VOD and may be found in Electrical Characteristics: Digital Control and Output Pin. The
desired voltage may be selected through the OVS Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 13). For many applications, in which
the LVDS outputs are very close to an FPGA on the same board, for example, the lower setting is
sufficient for good performance; this will also reduce the possibility for EMI from the LVDS outputs to other
signals on the board. See Memory for more information.
5.3.2.3 LVDS Output Common-Mode Voltage
The ADC12D1x00RF is available with a selectable higher or lower LVDS output common-mode voltage.
This parameter is VOS and may be found in Electrical Characteristics: Digital Control and Output Pin. See
LVDS Output Common-mode Pin (VBG) for information on how to select the desired voltage.
5.3.2.4 Output Formatting
The formatting at the digital data outputs may be either offset binary or two's complement. The default
formatting is offset binary, but two's complement may be selected through the 2SC Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 4);
see Memory for more information.
5.3.2.5 Test Pattern Mode
The ADC12D1x00RF can provide a test pattern at the four output buses independently of the input signal
to aid in system debug. In Test Pattern Mode, the ADC is disengaged and a test pattern generator is
connected to the outputs, including ORI and ORQ. The test pattern output is the same in DES Mode or
Non-DES Mode. Each port is given a unique 12-bit word, alternating between 1's and 0's. When the part is
programmed into the Demux Mode, the test pattern’s order is described in Table 5-2. If the I- or Q-channel
is powered down, the test pattern will not be output for that channel.

5.3.2.6 Time Stamp
The Time Stamp feature enables the user to capture the timing of an external trigger event, relative to the
sampled signal. When enabled through the TSE Bit (Addr: 0h; Bit: 3), the LSB of the digital outputs (DQd,
DQ, DId, DI) captures the trigger information. In effect, the 12-bit converter becomes an 11-bit converter
and the LSB acts as a 1-bit converter with the same latency as the 11-bit converter. The trigger should be
applied to the DCLK_RST input. It may be asynchronous to the ADC sampling clock.

5.3.3 Calibration Feature
The ADC12D1x00RF calibration must be run to achieve specified performance. The calibration procedure
is exactly the same regardless of how it was initiated or when it is run. Calibration trims the analog input
differential termination resistors, the CLK input resistor, and sets internal bias currents which affect the
linearity of the converter. This minimizes full-scale error, offset error, DNL, and INL, which results in the
maximum dynamic performance, as measured by: SNR, THD, SINAD (SNDR) and ENOB.
5.3.3.1 Calibration Control Pins and Bits
Table 5-4 is a summary of the pins and bits used for calibration. See Ball Descriptions and Equivalent
Circuits for complete pin information and Figure 4-6 for the timing diagram.

5.3.3.2 How to Execute a Calibration
Calibration may be initiated by holding the CAL pin low for at least tCAL_L clock cycles, and then holding it
high for at least another tCAL_H clock cycles, as defined in Electrical Characteristics: Calibration. The
minimum tCAL_L and tCAL_H input clock cycle sequences are required to ensure that random noise does not
cause a calibration to begin when it is not desired. The time taken by the calibration procedure is specified
as tCAL. The CAL Pin is active in both ECM and Non-ECM. However, in ECM, the CAL Pin is logically
OR'd with the CAL Bit, so both the pin and bit are required to be set low before executing another
calibration through either pin or bit.
5.3.3.3 Power-on Calibration
For standard operation, power-on calibration begins after a time delay following the application of power,
as determined by the setting of the CalDly Pin and measured by tCalDly (see Electrical Characteristics:
Calibration). This delay allows the power supply to come up and stabilize before the power-on calibration
takes place. The best setting (short or long) of the CalDly Pin depends upon the settling time of the power
supply.
TI strongly recommends setting CalDly Pin (to either logic-high or logic-low) before powering the device on
because this pin affects the power-on calibration timing. This may be accomplished by setting CalDly
through an external 1-kΩresistor connected to GND or VA. If the CalDly Pin is toggled while the device is
powered-on, it can execute a calibration even though the CAL Pin/Bit remains logic-low.
The power-on calibration will be not be performed if the CAL pin is logic-high at power-on. In this case, the
calibration cycle will not begin until the on-command calibration conditions are met. The ADC12D1x00RF
will function with the CAL pin held high at power up, but no calibration will be done and performance will
be impaired.

If it is necessary to toggle the CalDly Pin before the system power-up sequence, then the CAL Pin/Bit
must be set to logic-high during the toggling and afterwards for 109Sampling Clock cycles. This will
prevent the power-on calibration, so an on-command calibration must be executed or the performance will
be impaired.
5.3.3.4 On-Command Calibration
In addition to the power-on calibration, TI recommends executing an on-command calibration whenever
the settings or conditions to the device are altered significantly, to obtain optimal parametric performance.
Some examples include: changing the FSR through either ECM or Non-ECM, power-cycling either
channel, and switching into or out of DES Mode. For best performance, TI also recommends that an on-
command calibration be run 20 seconds or more after application of power and whenever the operating
temperature changes significantly, relative to the specific system performance requirements.
Due to the nature of the calibration feature, TI recommends avoiding unnecessary activities on the device
while the calibration is taking place. For example, do not read or write to the Serial Interface or use the
DCLK Reset feature while calibrating the ADC. Doing so will impair the performance of the device until it is
re-calibrated correctly. Also, TI recommends not applying a strong narrow-band signal to the analog inputs
during calibration because this may impair the accuracy of the calibration; broad spectrum noise is
acceptable.
5.3.3.5 Calibration Adjust
The sequence of the calibration event itself may be adjusted. This feature can be used if a shorter
calibration time than the default is required; see tCAL in Electrical Characteristics: Calibration. However, the
performance of the device, when using this feature is not ensured.
The calibration sequence may be adjusted through CSS (Addr: 4h, Bit 14). The default setting of CSS =
1bexecutes both RIN and RIN_CLK Calibration (using Rtrim) and internal linearity Calibration (using Rext).
Executing a calibration with CSS = 0bexecutes only the internal linearity Calibration. The first time that
Calibration is executed, it must be with CSS = 1bto trim RIN and RIN_CLK. However, once the device is at
its operating temperature and RIN has been trimmed at least one time, it will not drift significantly. To save
time in subsequent calibrations, trimming RIN and RIN_CLK may be skipped, that is, by setting CSS = 0b.
5.3.3.6 Read/Write Calibration Settings
When the ADC performs a calibration, the calibration constants are stored in an array which is accessible
through the Calibration Values register (Addr: 5h). To save the time which it takes to execute a calibration,
tCAL, or to allow re-use of a previous calibration result, these values can be read from and written to the
register at a later time. For example, if an application requires the same input impedance, RIN, this feature
can be used to load a previously determined set of values. For the calibration values to be valid, the ADC
must be operating under the same conditions, including temperature, at which the calibration values were
originally determined by the ADC.
To read calibration values from the SPI, do the following:
1. Set ADC to desired operating conditions.
2. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 1.
3. Read exactly 240 times the Calibration Values register (Addr: 5h). The register values are R0, R1, R2...
R239 where R0 is a dummy value. The contents of R<239:1> should be stored.
4. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 0.
5. Continue with normal operation.

To write calibration values to the SPI, do the following:
1. Set ADC to operating conditions at which Calibration Values were previously read.
2. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 1.
3. Write exactly 239 times the Calibration Values register (Addr: 5h). The registers should be written with
stored register values R1, R2... R239.
4. Make two additional dummy writes of 0000h.
5. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 0.
6. Continue with normal operation.
5.3.3.7 Calibration and Power Down
If PDI and PDQ are simultaneously asserted during a calibration cycle, the ADC12D1x00RF will
immediately power down. The calibration cycle will continue when either or both channels are powered
back up, but the calibration will be compromised due to the incomplete settling of bias currents directly
after power up. Therefore, a new calibration should be executed upon powering the ADC12D1x00RF back
up. In general, the ADC12D1x00RF should be recalibrated when either or both channels are powered
back up, or after one channel is powered down. For best results, this should be done after the device has
stabilized to its operating temperature.
5.3.3.8 Calibration and the Digital Outputs
During calibration, the digital outputs (including DI, DId, DQ, DQd, and OR) are set logic-low, to reduce
noise. The DCLK runs continuously during calibration. After the calibration is completed and the CalRun
signal is logic-low, it takes an additional 60 Sampling Clock cycles before the output of the
ADC12D1x00RF is valid converted data from the analog inputs. This is the time it takes for the pipeline to
flush, as well as for other internal processes.
5.3.4 Power Down
On the ADC12D1x00RF, the I- and Q-channels may be powered down individually. This may be
accomplished through the control pins, PDI and PDQ, or through ECM. In ECM, the PDI and PDQ pins
are logically OR'd with the Control Register setting. See Power-Down I-channel Pin (PDI) and Power-
Down Q-channel Pin (PDQ) for more information.

5.4 Device Functional Modes
5.4.1 DES and Non-DES Mode
The ADC12D1x00RF can operate in Dual-Edge Sampling (DES) or Non-DES Mode. The DES Mode
allows for a single analog input to be sampled by both I- and Q-channels. One channel samples the input
on the rising edge of the sampling clock and the other samples the same input signal on the falling edge
of the sampling clock. A single input is thus sampled twice per clock cycle, resulting in an overall sample
rate of twice the sampling clock frequency, for example, 3.2/2.0 GSPS with a 1600/1000 MHz sampling
clock. Because DES Mode uses both I- and Q-channels to process the input signal, both channels must
be powered up for the DES Mode to function properly.
In Non-ECM, only the I-input may be used for the DES Mode input. See Dual Edge Sampling Pin (DES)
for information on how to select the DES Mode. In ECM, either the I- or Q-input may be selected by first
using the DES bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 7) to select the DES Mode. The DEQ Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit: 6) is used to
select the Q-input, but the I-input is used by default. Also, both I- and Q-inputs may be driven externally,
that is, DESIQ Mode, by using the DIQ bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 5). See The Analog Inputs for more information
about how to drive the ADC in DES Mode.
In DESCLKIQ Mode, the I- and Q-channels sample their inputs 180° out-of-phase with respect to one
another, similar to the other DES Modes. DESCLKIQ Mode is similar to the DESIQ Mode, except that the
I- and Q-channels remain electrically separate internal to the ADC12D1x00RF. For this reason, both I- and
Q-inputs must be externally driven for the DESCLKIQ Mode. The DCK Bit (Addr: Eh, Bit: 6) is used to
select the 180° sampling clock mode.
The DESCLKIQ Mode results in the best bandwidth for the interleaved modes. In general, the bandwidth
decreases from Non-DES Mode to DES Mode (specifically, DESI or DESQ) because both channels are
sampling off the same input signal and non-ideal effects introduced by interleaving the two channels lower
the bandwidth. Driving both I- and Q-channels externally (DESIQ Mode and DESCLKIQ Mode) results in
better bandwidth because each channel is being driven, which reduces routing losses. The DESCLKIQ
Mode has better bandwidth than the DESIQ Mode because the routing internal to the ADC12D1600/1000
is simpler, which results in less insertion loss.
In the DES Mode, the outputs must be carefully interleaved to reconstruct the sampled signal. If the device
is programmed into the 1:4 Demux DES Mode, the data is effectively demultiplexed by 1:4. If the sampling
clock is 1600/1000 MHz, the effective sampling rate is doubled to 3.2/2.0 GSPS and each of the 4 output
buses has an output rate of 800/500 MSPS. All data is available in parallel. To properly reconstruct the
sampled waveform, the four bytes of parallel data that are output with each DCLK must be correctly
interleaved. The sampling order is as follows, from the earliest to the latest: DQd, DId, DQ, DI. See
Figure 4-3. If the device is programmed into the Non-Demux DES Mode, two bytes of parallel data are
output with each edge of the DCLK in the following sampling order, from the earliest to the latest: DQ, DI.
See Figure 4-4.
5.4.2 Demux and Non-Demux Mode
The ADC12D1x00RF may be in one of two demultiplex modes: Demux Mode or Non-Demux Mode (also
sometimes referred to as 1:1 Demux Mode). In Non-Demux Mode, the data from the input is simply output
at the sampling rate on one 12-bit bus. In Demux Mode, the data from the input is output at half the
sampling rate, on twice the number of buses. Demux and Non-Demux Mode may only be selected by the
NDM pin. In Non-DES Mode, the output data from each channel may be demultiplexed by a factor of 1:2
(1:2 Demux Non-DES Mode) or not demultiplexed (Non-Demux Non-DES Mode). In DES Mode, the
output data from both channels interleaved may be demultiplexed (1:4 Demux DES Mode) or not
demultiplexed (Non-Demux DES Mode).
See Table 5-5 for a selection of available modes.

5.5.1 Control Modes
The ADC12D1x00RF may be operated in one of two control modes: Non-extended Control Mode (Non-
ECM) or Extended Control Mode (ECM). In the simpler Non-ECM (also sometimes referred to as Pin
Control Mode), the user affects available configuration and control of the device through the control pins.
The ECM provides additional configuration and control options through a serial interface and a set of 16
registers, most of which are available to the customer.
5.5.1.1 Non-Extended Control Mode
In Non-extended Control Mode (Non-ECM), the Serial Interface is not active and all available functions are
controlled through various pin settings. Non-ECM is selected by setting the ECE Pin to logic-high. For the
control pins, "logic-high" and "logic-low" refer to VAand GND, respectively. Nine dedicated control pins
provide a wide range of control for the ADC12D1x00RF and facilitate its operation. These control pins
provide DES Mode selection, Demux Mode selection, DDR Phase selection, execute Calibration,
Calibration Delay setting, Power-down I-channel, Power-down Q-channel, Test Pattern Mode selection,
and Full-Scale Input Range selection. In addition to this, two dual-purpose control pins provide for AC/DC-
coupled Mode selection and LVDS output common-mode voltage selection. See Table 5-6 for a summary.

5.5.1.1.1 Dual Edge Sampling Pin (DES)
The Dual Edge Sampling (DES) Pin selects whether the ADC12D1x00RF is in DES Mode (logic-high) or
Non-DES Mode (logic-low). DES Mode means that a single analog input is sampled by both I- and Q-
channels in a time-interleaved manner. One of the ADCs samples the input signal on the rising sampling
clock edge (duty cycle corrected); the other ADC samples the input signal on the falling sampling clock
edge (duty cycle corrected). In Non-ECM, only the I-input may be used for DES Mode, a.k.a. DESI Mode.
In ECM, the Q-input may be selected through the DEQ Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit: 6), a.k.a. DESQ Mode. In ECM,
both the I- and Q-inputs may be selected, a.k.a. DESIQ or DESCLKIQ Mode.
To use this feature in ECM, use the DES bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 7). See
DES/Non-DES Mode for more information.
5.5.1.1.2 Non-Demultiplexed Mode Pin (NDM)
The Non-Demultiplexed Mode (NDM) Pin selects whether the ADC12D1x00RF is in Demux Mode (logic-
low) or Non-Demux Mode (logic-high). In Non-Demux Mode, the data from the input is produced at the
sampled rate at a single 12-bit output bus. In Demux Mode, the data from the input is produced at half the
sampled rate at twice the number of output buses. For Non-DES Mode, each I- or Q-channel will produce
its data on one or two buses for Non-Demux or Demux Mode, respectively. For DES Mode, the selected
channel will produce its data on two or four buses for Non-Demux or Demux Mode, respectively.
This feature is pin-controlled only and remains active during both Non-ECM and ECM. See Demux/Non-
demux Mode for more information.
5.5.1.1.3 Dual Data Rate Phase Pin (DDRPh)
The Dual Data Rate Phase (DDRPh) Pin selects whether the ADC12D1x00RF is in Mode (logic-low) or
90° Mode (logic-high) for DDR Mode. If the device is in SDR Mode, then the DDRPh Pin selects whether
the ADC12D1x00RF is in Falling Mode (logic-low) or Rising Mode (logic-high). For DDR Mode, the Data
may transition either with the DCLK transition (0° Mode) or halfway between DCLK transitions (90° Mode).
The DDRPh Pin selects the mode for both the I-channel: DI- and DId-to-DCLKI phase relationship and for
the Q-channel: DQ- and DQd-to-DCLKQ phase relationship.
To use this feature in ECM, use the DPS bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 14). See SDR /
DDR Clock for more information.
5.5.1.1.4 Calibration Pin (CAL)
The Calibration (CAL) Pin may be used to execute an on-command calibration or to disable the power-on
calibration. The effect of calibration is to maximize the dynamic performance. To initiate an on-command
calibration through the CAL pin, bring the CAL pin high for a minimum of tCAL_H input clock cycles after it
has been low for a minimum of tCAL_L input clock cycles. Holding the CAL pin high upon power on will
prevent execution of the power-on calibration. In ECM, this pin remains active and is logically OR'd with
the CAL bit.
To use this feature in ECM, use the CAL bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 15). See
Calibration Feature for more information.
5.5.1.1.5 Calibration Delay Pin (CalDly)
The Calibration Delay (CalDly) Pin selects whether a shorter or longer delay time is present, after the
application of power, until the start of the power-on calibration. The actual delay time is specified as tCalDly
and may be found in Electrical Characteristics: Calibration. This feature is pin-controlled only and remains
active in ECM. TI recommends selecting the desired delay time before power-on and not dynamically alter
this selection.
See Calibration Feature for more information.

5.5.1.1.6 Power-Down I-channel Pin (PDI)
The Power-down I-channel (PDI) Pin selects whether the I-channel is powered down (logic-high) or active
(logic-low). The digital data output pins, DI and DId, (both positive and negative) are put into a high
impedance state when the I-channel is powered down. Upon return to the active state, the pipeline will
contain meaningless information and must be flushed. The supply currents (typicals and limits) are
available for the I-channel powered down or active and may be found in Electrical Characteristics: Power
Supply. The device should be recalibrated following a power-cycle of PDI (or PDQ).
This pin remains active in ECM. In ECM, either this pin or the PDI bit (Addr: 0h; Bit: 11) in the Control
Register may be used to power down the I-channel. See Power Down for more information.
5.5.1.1.7 Power-Down Q-channel Pin (PDQ)
The Power-down Q-channel (PDQ) Pin selects whether the Q-channel is powered down (logic-high) or
active (logic-low). This pin functions similarly to the PDI pin, except that it applies to the Q-channel. The
PDI and PDQ pins function independently of each other to control whether each I- or Q-channel is
powered down or active.
This pin remains active in ECM. In ECM, either this pin or the PDQ bit (Addr: 0h; Bit: 10) in the Control
Register may be used to power down the Q-channel. See Power Down for more information.
5.5.1.1.8 Test Pattern Mode Pin (TPM)
The Test Pattern Mode (TPM) Pin selects whether the output of the ADC12D1x00RF is a test pattern
(logic-high) or the converted analog input (logic-low). The ADC12D1x00RF can provide a test pattern at
the four output buses independently of the input signal to aid in system debug. In TPM, the ADC is
disengaged and a test pattern generator is connected to the outputs, including ORI and ORQ. See Test
Pattern Mode for more information.
5.5.1.1.9 Full-Scale Input Range Pin (FSR)
The Full-Scale Input Range (FSR) Pin selects whether the full-scale input range for both the I- and Q-
channel is higher (logic-high) or lower (logic-low). The input full-scale range is specified as VIN_FSR in
Electrical Characteristics: Analog Input/Output and Reference. In Non-ECM, the full-scale input range for
each I- and Q-channel may not be set independently, but it is possible to do so in ECM. The device must
be calibrated following a change in FSR to obtain optimal performance.
To use this feature in ECM, use the Configuration Registers (Addr: 3hand Bh). See Input Control and
Adjust for more information.
5.5.1.1.10 AC- and DC-Coupled Mode Pin (VCMO)
The VCMO Pin serves a dual purpose. When functioning as an output, it provides the optimal common-
mode voltage for the DC-coupled analog inputs. When functioning as an input, it selects whether the
device is AC-coupled (logic-low) or DC-coupled (floating). This pin is always active, in both ECM and Non-
ECM.
5.5.1.1.11 LVDS Output Common-mode Pin (VBG)
The VBG Pin serves a dual purpose. When functioning as an output, it provides the bandgap reference.
When functioning as an input, it selects whether the LVDS output common-mode voltage is higher (logic-
high) or lower (floating). The LVDS output common-mode voltage is specified as VOS and may be found in
Electrical Characteristics: Digital Control and Output Pin. This pin is always active, in both ECM and Non-
ECM.

5.5.1.2 Extended Control Mode
In Extended Control Mode (ECM), most functions are controlled through the Serial Interface. In addition to
this, several of the control pins remain active. See Table 5-1 for details. ECM is selected by setting the
ECE Pin to logic-low. If the ECE Pin is set to logic-high (Non-ECM), then the registers are reset to their
default values. So, a simple way to reset the registers is by toggling the ECE pin. Four pins on the
ADC12D1x00RF control the Serial Interface: SCS, SCLK, SDI and SDO. This section covers the Serial
Interface. The Register Definitions are located at the end of the data sheet so that they are easy to find,
see Memory.
5.5.1.2.1 The Serial Interface
The ADC12D1x00RF offers a Serial Interface that allows access to the sixteen control registers within the
device. The Serial Interface is a generic 4-wire (optionally 3-wire) synchronous interface that is compatible
with SPI type interfaces that are used on many micro-controllers and DSP controllers. Each serial
interface access cycle is exactly 24 bits long. A register-read or register-write can be accomplished in one
cycle. The signals are defined in such a way that the user can opt to simply join SDI and SDO signals in
his system to accomplish a single, bidirectional SDI/O signal. A summary of the pins for this interface may
be found in Table 5-7. See Figure 4-7 for the timing diagram and Electrical Characteristics: Serial Port
Interface for timing specification details. Control register contents are retained when the device is put into
power-down mode. If this feature is unused, the SCLK, SDI, and SCS pins may be left floating because
they each have an internal pullup.
Table 5-7. Serial Interface Pins
PIN NAME
C4 SCS (Serial Chip Select bar)
C5 SCLK (Serial Clock)
B4 SDI (Serial Data In)
A3 SDO (Serial Data Out)
SCS: Each assertion (logic-low) of this signal starts a new register access, that is, the SDI command field
must be ready on the following SCLK rising edge. The user is required to deassert this signal after the
24th clock. If the SCS is deasserted before the 24th clock, no data read/write will occur. For a read
operation, if the SCS is asserted longer than 24 clocks, the SDO output will hold the D0 bit until SCS is
deasserted. For a write operation, if the SCS is asserted longer than 24 clocks, data write will occur
normally through the SDI input upon the 24th clock. Setup and hold times, tSCS and tHCS, with respect to
the SCLK must be observed. SCS must be toggled in between register access cycles.
SCLK: This signal is used to register the input data (SDI) on the rising edge; and to source the output
data (SDO) on the falling edge. The user may disable the clock and hold it at logic-low. There is no
minimum frequency requirement for SCLK; see fSCLK in Electrical Characteristics: Serial Port Interface for
more details.
SDI: Each register access requires a specific 24-bit pattern at this input, consisting of a command field
and a data field. If the SDI and SDO wires are shared (3-wire mode), then during read operations, it is
necessary to tri-state the master which is driving SDI while the data field is being output by the ADC on
SDO. The master must be tri-stated before the falling edge of the 8th clock. If SDI and SDO are not shared
(4-wire mode), then this is not necessary. Setup and hold times, tSH and tSSU, with respect to the SCLK
must be observed.
SDO: This output is normally tri-stated and is driven only when SCS is asserted, the first 8 bits of
command data have been received and it is a READ operation. The data is shifted out, MSB first, starting
with the 8th clock's falling edge. At the end of the access, when SCS is deasserted, this output is tri-stated
once again. If an invalid address is accessed, the data sourced will consist of all zeroes. If it is a read
operation, there will be a bus turnaround time, tBSU, from when the last bit of the command field was read
in until the first bit of the data field is written out.

Bit 15 CAL: Calibration Enable. When this bit is set to 1b, an on-command calibration is initiated. This bit is not reset automatically
upon completion of the calibration. Therefore, the user must reset this bit to 0band then set it to 1bagain to execute another
calibration. This bit is logically OR'd with the CAL Pin; both bit and pin must be set to 0bbefore either is used to execute a
calibration.
Bit 14 DPS: DCLK Phase Select. In DDR, set this bit to 0bto select the Mode DDR Data-to-DCLK phase relationship and to 1bto
select the 90° Mode. In SDR, set this bit to 0bto transition the data on the Rising edge of DCLK; set this bit to 1bto transition
the data on the Falling edge of DCLK. (1)
Bit 13 OVS: Output Voltage Select. This bit sets the differential voltage level for the LVDS outputs including Data, OR, and DCLK. 0b
selects the lower level and 1bselects the higher level. See VOD in Electrical Characteristics: Digital Control and Output Pin for
details.
Bit 12 TPM: Test Pattern Mode. When this bit is set to 1b, the device will continually output a fixed digital pattern at the digital Data
and OR outputs. When set to 0b, the device will continually output the converted signal, which was present at the analog
inputs. See Test Pattern Mode for details about the TPM pattern.
Bit 11 PDI: Power-down I-channel. When this bit is set to 0b, the I-channel is fully operational; when it is set to 1b, the I-channel is
powered-down. The I-channel may be powered-down through this bit or the PDI Pin, which is active, even in ECM.
Bit 10 PDQ: Power-down Q-channel. When this bit is set to 0b, the Q-channel is fully operational; when it is set to 1b, the Q-channel
is powered down. The Q-channel may be powered down through this bit or the PDQ Pin, which is active, even in ECM.
Bit 9 Reserved. Must be set as shown.
Bit 8 LFS: Low-Frequency Select. If the sampling clock (CLK) is at or below 300 MHz, set this bit to 1bfor improved performance.
Bit 7 DES: Dual-Edge Sampling Mode select. When this bit is set to 0b, the device will operate in the Non-DES Mode; when it is set

6 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
6.1 Application Information
6.1.1 The Analog Inputs
The ADC12D1x00RF will continuously convert any signal which is present at the analog inputs, as long as
a CLK signal is also provided to the device. This section covers important aspects related to the analog
inputs including: acquiring the input, driving the ADC in DES Mode, the reference voltage and FSR, out-of-
range indication, AC- and DC-coupled signals, and single-ended input signals.
6.1.1.1 Acquiring the Input
The Aperture Delay, tAD, is the amount of delay, measured from the sampling edge of the clock input, after
which signal present at the input pin is sampled inside the device. Data is acquired at the rising edge of
CLK+ in Non-DES Mode and both the falling and rising edges of CLK+ in DES Mode. In Non-DES Mode,
the I- and Q-channels always sample data on the rising edge of CLK+. In DES Mode, that is, DESI,
DESQ, DESIQ, and DESCLKIQ, the I-channel samples data on the rising edge of CLK+ and the Q-
channel samples data on the falling edge of CLK+. The digital equivalent of that data is available at the
digital outputs a constant number of sampling clock cycles later for the DI, DQ, DId and DQd output
buses, a.k.a. Latency, depending on the demultiplex mode which is selected. In addition to the Latency,
there is a constant output delay, tOD, before the data is available at the outputs. See tOD in the timing
diagrams. See tLAT, tAD, and tODin Electrical Characteristics: AC.
6.1.1.2 Driving the ADC in DES Mode
The ADC12D1x00RF can be configured as either a 2-channel, 1600/1000 GSPS device (Non-DES Mode)
or a 1-channel 3.2/2.0 GSPS device (DES Mode). When the device is configured in DES Mode, there is a
choice for with which input to drive the single-channel ADC. These are the 3 options:
DES externally driving the I-channel input only. This is the default selection when the ADC is configured
in DES Mode. It may also be referred to as “DESI” for added clarity.
DESQ externally driving the Q-channel input only.
DESIQ, DESCLKIQ externally driving both the I- and Q-channel inputs. VinI+ and VinQ+ should be
driven with the exact same signal. VinI- and VinQ- should be driven with the exact same signal, which is
the differential compliment to the one driving VinI+ and VinQ+.
The input impedance for each I- and Q-input is 100-differential (or 50-single-ended), so the trace to
each VinI+, VinI-, VinQ+, and VinQ- should always be 50-single-ended. If a single I- or Q-input is being
driven, then that input will present a 100-differential load. For example, if a 50-single-ended source is
driving the ADC, then a 1:2 balun will transform the impedance to 100-differential. However, if the ADC
is being driven in DESIQ Mode, then the 100-differential impedance from the I-input will appear in
parallel with the Q-input for a composite load of 50-differential and a 1:1 balun would be appropriate.
See Figure 6-1 for an example circuit driving the ADC in DESIQ Mode. A recommended part selection is
using the Mini-Circuits TC1-1-13MA+ balun with Ccouple = 0.22 µF.

Figure 6-1. Driving DESIQ Mode
In the case that only one channel is used in Non-DES Mode or that the ADC is driven in DESI or DESQ
Mode, the unused analog input should be terminated to reduce any noise coupling into the ADC. See
Table 6-1 for details.* The timing for these figures is shown for the one input only (I or Q). However, both
I- and Q-inputs may be used. For this case, the I-channel functions precisely the same as the Q-channel,
with VinI, DCLKI, DId, and DI instead of VinQ, DCLKQ, DQd, and DQ. Both I- and Q-channel use the
same CLK.

6.1.1.3 FSR and the Reference Voltage
The full-scale analog differential input range (VIN_FSR) of the ADC12D1x00RF is derived from an internal
bandgap reference. In Non-ECM, this full-scale range has two settings controlled by the FSR Pin; see
Full-Scale Input Range Pin (FSR). The FSR Pin operates on both I- and Q-channels. In ECM, the full-
scale range may be independently set for each channel through Addr:3hand Bhwith 15 bits of precision;
see Memory. The best SNR is obtained with a higher full-scale input range, but better distortion and SFDR
are obtained with a lower full-scale input range. It is not possible to use an external analog reference
voltage to modify the full-scale range, and this adjustment should only be done digitally, as described.
A buffered version of the internal bandgap reference voltage is made available at the VBG Pin for the user.
The VBG pin can drive a load of up to 80 pF and source or sink up to 100 μA. It should be buffered if more
current than this is required. This pin remains as a constant reference voltage regardless of what full-scale
range is selected and may be used for a system reference. VBG is a dual-purpose pin and it may also be
used to select a higher LVDS output common-mode voltage; see LVDS Output Common-mode Pin (VBG).

6.1.1.4 Out-Of-Range Indication
Differential input signals are digitized to 12 bits, based on the full-scale range. Signal excursions beyond
the full-scale range, that is, greater than +VIN_FSR/2 or less than -VIN_FSR/2, will be clipped at the output. An
input signal which is above the FSR will result in all 1's at the output and an input signal which is below
the FSR will result in all 0's at the output. When the conversion result is clipped for the I-channel input, the
Out-of-Range I-channel (ORI) output is activated such that ORI+ goes high and ORI- goes low while the
signal is out of range. This output is active as long as accurate data on either or both of the buses would
be outside the range of 000hto FFFh. The Q-channel has a separate ORQ which functions similarly.
6.1.1.5 Maximum Input Range
The recommended operating and absolute maximum input range may be found in Recommended
Operating Condtions and Absolute Maximum Ratings, respectively. Under the stated allowed operating
conditions, each Vin+ and Vin- input pin may be operated in the range from 0 V to 2.15 V if the input is a
continuous 100% duty cycle signal and from 0 V to 2.5 V if the input is a 10% duty cycle signal. The
absolute maximum input range for Vin+ and Vin- is from –0.15 V to 2.5 V. These limits apply only for input
signals for which the input common-mode voltage is properly maintained.
6.1.1.6 AC-Coupled Input Signals
The ADC12D1x00RF analog inputs require a precise common-mode voltage. This voltage is generated
on-chip when AC-coupling Mode is selected. See AC/DC-Coupled Mode Pin (VCMO) for more information
about how to select AC-coupled Mode.
In AC-coupled Mode, the analog inputs must of course be AC-coupled. For an ADC12D1x00RF used in a
typical application, this may be accomplished by on-board capacitors, as shown in Figure 6-2. For the
ADC12D1600RFRB, the SMA inputs on the Reference Board are directly connected to the analog inputs
on the ADC12D1600RF, so this may be accomplished by DC blocks (included with the hardware kit).
When the AC-coupled Mode is selected, an analog input channel that is not used (for example, in DES
Mode) should be connected to AC ground, for example, through capacitors to ground. Do not connect an
unused analog input directly to ground.
Figure 6-2. AC-Coupled Differential Input
The analog inputs for the ADC12D1x00RF are internally buffered, which simplifies the task of driving
these inputs and the RC pole which is generally used at sampling ADC inputs is not required. If the user
desires to place an amplifier circuit before the ADC, care should be taken to choose an amplifier with
adequate noise and distortion performance, and adequate gain at the frequencies used for the application.

6.1.1.7 DC-Coupled Input Signals
In DC-coupled Mode, the ADC12D1x00RF differential inputs must have the correct common-mode
voltage. This voltage is provided by the device itself at the VCMO output pin. TI recommends using this
voltage because the VCMO output potential will change with temperature and the common-mode voltage of
the driving device should track this change. Full-scale distortion performance falls off as the input
common-mode voltage deviates from VCMO. Therefore, TI recommends keeping the input common-mode
voltage within 100 mV of VCMO (typical), although this range may be extended to ±150 mV (maximum).
See VCMI in Electrical Characteristics: Analog Input/Output and Reference and ENOB vs. VCMI in Typical
Characteristics . Performance in AC- and DC-coupled Mode are similar, provided that the input common-
mode voltage at both analog inputs remains within 100 mV of VCMO.
6.1.1.8 Single-Ended Input Signals
The analog inputs of the ADC12D1x00RF are not designed to accept single-ended signals. The best way
to handle single-ended signals is to first convert them to differential signals before presenting them to the
ADC. The easiest way to accomplish single-ended to differential signal conversion is with an appropriate
balun-transformer, as shown in Figure 6-3.
Figure 6-3. Single-Ended to Differential Conversion Using a Balun
When selecting a balun, it is important to understand the input architecture of the ADC. The impedance of
the analog source should be matched to the ADC12D1x00RF's ON-chip 100-differential input
termination resistor. The range of this termination resistor is specified as RIN in Electrical Characteristics:
Analog Input/Output and Reference.
6.1.2 The Clock Inputs
The ADC12D1x00RF has a differential clock input, CLK+ and CLK-, which must be driven with an AC-
coupled, differential clock signal. This provides the level shifting necessary to allow for the clock to be
driven with LVDS, PECL, LVPECL, or CML levels. The clock inputs are internally terminated to 100-
differential and self-biased. This section covers coupling, frequency range, level, duty-cycle, jitter, and
layout considerations.
6.1.2.1 CLK Coupling
The clock inputs of the ADC12D1x00RF must be capacitively coupled to the clock pins as indicated in
Figure 6-4.
Figure 6-4. Differential Input Clock Connection
The choice of capacitor value will depend on the clock frequency, capacitor component characteristics and
other system economic factors. For example, on the ADC12D1600RFRB, the capacitors have the value
Ccouple = 4.7 nF which yields a highpass cutoff frequency, fc= 677.2 kHz.

6.1.2.2 CLK Frequency
Although the ADC12D1x00RF is tested and its performance is ensured with a differential 1- or 1.6-GHz
sampling clock, it will typically function well over the input clock frequency range; see fCLK(min) and
fCLK(max) in Electrical Characteristics: AC. Operation up to fCLK(max) is possible if the maximum ambient
temperatures indicated are not exceeded. Operating at sample rates above fCLK(max) for the maximum
ambient temperature may result in reduced device reliability and product lifetime. This is due to the fact
that higher sample rates results in higher power consumption and die temperatures. If fCLK < 300 MHz,
enable LFS in the Control Register (Addr: 0h, Bit 8).
6.1.2.3 CLK Level
The input clock amplitude is specified as VIN_CLK in Electrical Characteristics: Sampling Clock. Input clock
amplitudes above the max VIN_CLK may result in increased input offset voltage. This would cause the
converter to produce an output code other than the expected 2047/2048 when both input pins are at the
same potential. Insufficient input clock levels will result in poor dynamic performance. Both of these results
may be avoided by keeping the clock input amplitude within the specified limits of VIN_CLK.
6.1.2.4 CLK Duty Cycle
The duty cycle of the input clock signal can affect the performance of any A/D converter. The
ADC12D1x00RF features a duty cycle clock correction circuit which can maintain performance over the
20%-to-80% specified clock duty-cycle range. This feature is enabled by default and provides improved
ADC clocking, especially in the Dual-Edge Sampling (DES) Mode.
6.1.2.5 CLK Jitter
High speed, high performance ADCs such as the ADC12D1x00RF require a very stable input clock signal
with minimum phase noise or jitter. ADC jitter requirements are defined by the ADC resolution (number of
bits), maximum ADC input frequency and the input signal amplitude relative to the ADC input full scale
range. The maximum jitter (the sum of the jitter from all sources) allowed to prevent a jitter-induced
reduction in SNR is found to be tJ(MAX) =(VIN(P-P)/ VFSR) × (1/(2(N+1) ×π× fIN))
where
tJ(MAX) is the rms total of all jitter sources in seconds
VIN(P-P) is the peak-to-peak analog input signal
VFSR is the full-scale range of the ADC
"N" is the ADC resolution in bits and fIN is the maximum input frequency, in Hertz, at the ADC analog
input. (1)
tJ(MAX) is the square root of the sum of the squares (RSS) of the jitter from all sources, including: the ADC
input clock, system, input signals and the ADC itself. Because the effective jitter added by the ADC is
beyond user control, TI recommends keeping the sum of all other externally added jitter to a minimum.
6.1.2.6 CLK Layout
The ADC12D1x00RF clock input is internally terminated with a trimmed 100-resistor. The differential
input clock line pair should have a characteristic impedance of 100 and (when using a balun), be
terminated at the clock source in that (100 ) characteristic impedance.
It is a good practice to keep the ADC input clock line as short as possible, tightly coupled, keep it well
away from any other signals, and treat it as a transmission line. Otherwise, other signals can introduce
jitter into the input clock signal. Also, the clock signal can introduce noise into the analog path if it is not
properly isolated.

6.1.3 The LVDS Outputs
The Data, ORI, ORQ, DCLKI and DCLKQ outputs are LVDS. The electrical specifications of the LVDS
outputs are compatible with typical LVDS receivers available on ASIC and FPGA chips; but they are not
IEEE or ANSI communications standards compliant due to the low 1.9-V supply used on this chip. These
outputs should be terminated with a 100-differential resistor placed as closely to the receiver as
possible. If the 100-differential resistance is built in to the receiver, then an externally placed resistor is
not necessary. This section covers common-mode and differential voltage, and data rate.
6.1.3.1 Common-Mode and Differential Voltage
The LVDS outputs have selectable common-mode and differential voltage, VOS and VOD; see Electrical
Characteristics: Digital Control and Output Pin. See Output Control and Adjust for more information.
Selecting the higher VOS will also increase VOD slightly. The differential voltage, VOD, may be selected for
the higher or lower value. For short LVDS lines and low noise systems, satisfactory performance may be
realized with the lower VOD. This will also result in lower power consumption. If the LVDS lines are long
and/or the system in which the ADC12D1x00RF is used is noisy, it may be necessary to select the higher
VOD.
6.1.3.2 Output Data Rate
The data is produced at the output at the same rate it is sampled at the input. The minimum
recommended input clock rate for this device is fCLK(MIN); see Electrical Characteristics: AC. However, it is
possible to operate the device in 1:2 Demux Mode and capture data from just one 12-bit bus, for example,
just DI (or DId) although both DI and DId are fully operational. This will decimate the data by two and
effectively halve the data rate.
6.1.3.3 Terminating Unused LVDS Output Pins
If the ADC is used in Non-Demux Mode, then only the DI and DQ data outputs will have valid data present
on them. The DId and DQd data outputs may be left not connected; if unused, they are internally tri-
stated.
Similarly, if the Q-channel is powered-down (that is, PDQ is logic-high), the DQ data output pins, DCLKQ
and ORQ may be left not connected.
6.1.4 Synchronizing Multiple ADC12D1x00RFS in a System
The ADC12D1x00RF has two features to assist the user with synchronizing multiple ADCs in a system;
AutoSync and DCLK Reset. The AutoSync feature is new and designates one ADC12D1x00RF as the
Master ADC and other ADC12D1x00RFs in the system as Slave ADCs. The DCLK Reset feature
performs the same function as the AutoSync feature, but is the first generation solution to synchronizing
multiple ADCs in a system; it is disabled by default. For the application in which there are multiple Master
and Slave ADC12D1x00RFs in a system, AutoSync may be used to synchronize the Slave
ADC12D1x00RFs to each respective Master ADC12D1x00RF and the DCLK Reset may be used to
synchronize the Master ADC12D1x00RFs to each other.
If the AutoSync or DCLK Reset feature is not used, see Table 6-2 for recommendations about terminating
unused pins.

6.1.4.1 AutoSync Feature
AutoSync is a new feature which continuously synchronizes the outputs of multiple ADC12D1x00RFs in a
system. The feature may be used to synchronize the DCLK and data outputs of one or more Slave
ADC12D1x00RFs to one Master ADC12D1x00RF. Several advantages of this feature include: no special
synchronization pulse required, any upset in synchronization is recovered upon the next DCLK cycle, and
the Master/Slave ADC12D1x00RFs may be arranged as a binary tree so that any upset will quickly
propagate out of the system.
An example system is shown below in Figure 6-5 which consists of one Master ADC and two Slave ADCs.
For simplicity, only one DCLK is shown; in reality, there is DCLKI and DCLKQ, but they are always in
phase with one another.
Figure 6-5. AutoSync Example
To synchronize the DCLK (and Data) outputs of multiple ADCs, the DCLKs must transition at the same
time, as well as be in phase with one another. The DCLK at each ADC is generated from the CLK after
some latency, plus tOD minus tAD. Therefore, in order for the DCLKs to transition at the same time, the
CLK signal must reach each ADC at the same time. To tune out any differences in the CLK path to each
ADC, the tAD adjust feature may be used. However, using the tAD adjust feature will also affect when the
DCLK is produced at the output. If the device is in Demux Mode, then there are four possible phases
which each DCLK may be generated on because the typical CLK = 1GHz and DCLK = 250 MHz for this
case. The RCLK signal controls the phase of the DCLK, so that each Slave DCLK is on the same phase
as the Master DCLK.
The AutoSync feature may only be used through the Control Registers. For more information, see AN-
2132 Synchronizing Multiple GSPS ADCs in a System: The AutoSync Feature (SNAA073).
6.1.4.2 DCLK Reset Feature
The DCLK reset feature is available through ECM, but it is disabled by default. DCLKI and DCLKQ are
always synchronized, by design, and do not require a pulse from DCLK_RST to become synchronized.

SNAS519H JULY 2011REVISED AUGUST 2015
The DCLK_RST signal must observe certain timing requirements, which are shown in Figure 4-5 of the
Timing Diagrams. The DCLK_RST pulse must be of a minimum width and its deassertion edge must
observe setup and hold times with respect to the CLK input rising edge. These timing specifications are
listed as tPWR, tSR and tHR and may be found in Electrical Characteristics: AC.
The DCLK_RST signal can be asserted asynchronously to the input clock. If DCLK_RST is asserted, the
DCLK output is held in a designated state (logic-high) in Demux Mode; in Non-Demux Mode, the DCLK
continues to function normally. Depending upon when the DCLK_RST signal is asserted, there may be a
narrow pulse on the DCLK line during this reset event. When the DCLK_RST signal is deasserted, there
are tSYNC_DLY CLK cycles of systematic delay and the next CLK rising edge synchronizes the DCLK output
with those of other ADC12D1x00RFs in the system. For 90° Mode (DDRPh = logic-high), the
synchronizing edge occurs on the rising edge of CLK, 4 cycles after the first rising edge of CLK after
DCLK_RST is released. For Mode (DDRPh = logic-low), this is 5 cycles instead. The DCLK output is
enabled again after a constant delay of tOD.
For both Demux and Non-Demux Modes, there is some uncertainty about how DCLK comes out of the
reset state for the first DCLK_RST pulse. For the second (and subsequent) DCLK_RST pulses, the DCLK
will come out of the reset state in a known way. Therefore, if using the DCLK Reset feature, TI
recommends applying one "dummy" DCLK_RST pulse before using the second DCLK_RST pulse to
synchronize the outputs. This recommendation applies each time the device or channel is powered-on.
When using DCLK_RST to synchronize multiple ADC12D1x00RFs, it is required that the Select Phase bits
in the Control Register (Addr: Eh, Bits 3,4) be the same for each Master ADC12D1x00RF.
6.1.5 Recommended System Chips
TI recommends these other chips including temperature sensors, clocking devices, and amplifiers to
support the ADC12D1x00RF in a system design.
6.1.5.1 Temperature Sensor
The ADC12D1x00RF has an on-die temperature diode connected to pins Tdiode+/- which may be used to
monitor the die temperature. TI also provides a family of temperature sensors for this application which
monitor different numbers of external devices, see Table 6-3.
Table 6-3. Temperature Sensor Recommendation
NUMBER OF EXTERNAL RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE
DEVICES MONITORED SENSOR
1 LM95235
2 LM95213
4 LM95214
The temperature sensor (LM95235/13/14) is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System
Management Bus (SMBus) interface that can monitor the temperature of one, two, or four remote diodes
as well as its own temperature. It can be used to accurately monitor the temperature of up to one, two, or
four external devices such as the ADC12D1x00RF, a FPGA, other system components, and the ambient
temperature.
The temperature sensor reports temperature in two different formats for 127.875°C/–128°C range and
0°/255°C range. It has a Sigma-Delta ADC core which provides the first level of noise immunity. For
improved performance in a noisy environment, the temperature sensor includes programmable digital
filters for Remote Diode temperature readings. When the digital filters are invoked, the resolution for the
Remote Diode readings increases to 0.03125°C. For maximum flexibility and best accuracy, the
temperature sensor includes offset registers that allow calibration for other types of diodes.
Diode fault detection circuitry in the temperature sensor can detect the absence or fault state of a remote
diode: whether D+ is shorted to the power supply, D- or ground, or floating.

6.1.5.2 Clocking Device
The clock source can be a PLL/VCO device such as the LMX2531LQxxxx family of products. The specific
device should be selected according to the desired ADC sampling clock frequency. The
ADC12D1600RFRB uses the LMX2531LQ1570E, with the ADC clock source provided by the Aux PLL
output. Other devices which may be considered based on clock source, jitter cleaning, and distribution
purposes are the LMK01XXX, LMK02XXX, LMK03XXX, and LMK04XXX product families.

7 Power Supply Recommendations
7.1 System Power-on Considerations
Data-converter-based systems draw sufficient transient current to corrupt their own power supplies if not
adequately bypassed. A 10-μF capacitor must be placed within one inch (2.5 cm) of the device power pins
for each supply voltage. A 0.1-μF capacitor must be placed as close as possible to each supply pin,
preferably within 0.5 cm. Leadless chip capacitors are preferred due to their low-lead inductance.
As is the case with all high-speed converters, the ADC12D1600RF device must be assumed to have little
power supply noise-rejection. Any power supply used for digital circuitry in a system where a large amount
of digital power is consumed must not be used to supply power to the ADC12D1600RF device. If not a
dedicated supply, the ADC supplies must be the same supply used for other analog circuitry.
There are a couple important topics to consider associated with the system power-on event including
configuration and calibration, and the Data Clock.
7.1.1 Power-on, Configuration, and Calibration
Following the application of power to the ADC12D1x00RF, several events must take place before the
output from the ADC12D1x00RF is valid and at full performance; at least one full calibration must be
executed with the device configured in the desired mode.
Following the application of power to the ADC12D1x00RF, there is a delay of tCalDly and then the Power-
on Calibration is executed. This is why TI recommends setting the CalDly Pin through an external pullup
or pulldown resistor. This ensures that the state of that input will be properly set at the same time that
power is applied to the ADC and tCalDly will be a known quantity. For the purpose of this section, it is
assumed that CalDly is set as recommended.
The Control Bits or Pins must be set or written to configure the ADC12D1x00RF in the desired mode. This
must take place through either Extended Control Mode or Non-ECM (Pin Control Mode) before
subsequent calibrations will yield an output at full performance in that mode. Some examples of modes
include DES and Non-DES Mode, Demux and Non-demux Mode, and Full-Scale Range.
The simplest case is when device is in Non-ECM and the Control Pins are set by pullup and pulldown
resistors, see Figure 7-1. For this case, the settings to the Control Pins ramp concurrently to the ADC
voltage. Following the delay of tCalDly and the calibration execution time, tCAL, the output of the
ADC12D1x00RF is valid and at full performance. If it takes longer than tCalDly for the system to stabilize at
its operating temperature, TI recommends executing an on-command calibration at that time.
Another case is when the FPGA configures the Control Pins (Non-ECM) or writes to the SPI (ECM), see
Figure 7-2. It is always necessary to comply with the Operating Ratings and Absolute Maximum ratings,
that is, the Control Pins may not be driven below the ground or above the supply, regardless of what the
voltage currently applied to the supply is. Therefore, it is not recommended to write to the Control Pins or
SPI before power is applied to the ADC12D1x00RF. As long as the FPGA has completed writing to the
Control Pins or SPI, the Power-on Calibration will result in a valid output at full performance. Once again,
if it takes longer than tCalDly for the system to stabilize at its operating temperature, TI recommends
executing an on-command calibration at that time.
Due to system requirements, it may not be possible for the FPGA to write to the Control Pins or SPI
before the Power-on Calibration takes place, see Figure 7-3. It is not critical to configure the device before
the Power-on Calibration, but it is critical to realize that the output for such a case is not at its full
performance. Following an On-command Calibration, the device will be at its full performance.

7.1.2 Power-on and Data Clock (DCLK)
Many applications use the DCLK output for a system clock. For the ADC12D1x00RF, each I- and Q-
channel has its own DCLKI and DCLKQ, respectively. The DCLK output is always active, unless that
channel is powered-down or the DCLK Reset feature is used while the device is in Demux Mode. As the
supply to the ADC12D1x00RF ramps, the DCLK also comes up, see this example from the
ADC12D1600RFRB: Figure 7-4. While the supply is too low, there is no output at DCLK. As the supply
continues to ramp, DCLK functions intermittently with irregular frequency, but the amplitude continues to
track with the supply. Much below the low end of operating supply range of the ADC12D1x00RF, the
DCLK is already fully operational.
Figure 7-4. Supply and DCLK Ramping
7.2 Supply Voltage
The ADC12D1600RF device is specified to operate with nominal supply voltages of 1.9 V (VA, VTC, VE
and VDR). For detailed information regarding the operating voltage minimums and maximums see
Section 4.3.
The voltage on a pin (except VinI+/- and VinQ+/-), including a transient basis, must not have a voltage that
is in excess of the supply voltage or below ground by more than 150 mV. A pin voltage that is higher than
the supply or that is below ground can be a problem during start-up and shutdown of power. Ensure that
the supplies to circuits driving any of the input pins, analog or digital, do not rise faster than the voltage at
the ADC12D1600RF power pins.
The values in Section 4.1 must be strictly observed including during power up and power down. A power
supply that produces a voltage spike at power turnon, turnoff, or both can destroy the ADC12D1600RF
device. Many linear regulators produce output spiking at power on unless there is a minimum load
provided. Active devices draw very little current until the supply voltages reach a few hundred millivolts.
The result can be a turnon spike that destroys the ADC12D1600RF device, unless a minimum load is
provided for the supply. A 100-Ωresistor at the regulator output provides a minimum output current during
power up to ensure that no turnon spiking occurs. Whether a linear or switching regulator is used, TI
recommends using a soft-start circuit to prevent overshoot of the supply.

8 Layout
8.1 Layout Guidelines
8.1.1 Power Planes
All supply buses for the ADC should be sourced from a common linear voltage regulator. This ensures
that all power buses to the ADC are turned on and off simultaneously. This single source will be split into
individual sections of the power plane, with individual decoupling and connection to the different power
supply buses of the ADC. Due to the low voltage but relatively high supply current requirement, the
optimal solution may be to use a switching regulator to provide an intermediate low voltage, which is then
regulated down to the final ADC supply voltage by a linear regulator. See the documentation provided for
the ADC12D1600RFRB for additional details on specific regulators that are recommended for this
configuration.
Power for the ADC should be provided through a broad plane which is located on one layer adjacent to
the ground planes. Placing the power and ground planes on adjacent layers will provide low impedance
decoupling of the ADC supplies, especially at higher frequencies. The output of a linear regulator should
feed into the power plane through a low impedance multi-via connection. The power plane should be split
into individual power peninsulas near the ADC. Each peninsula should feed a particular power bus on the
ADC, with decoupling for that power bus connecting the peninsula to the ground plane near each
power/ground pin pair. Using this technique can be difficult on many printed circuit CAD tools. To work
around this, 0-Ωresistors can be used to connect the power source net to the individual nets for the
different ADC power buses. As a final step, the 0-Ωresistors can be removed and the plane and
peninsulas can be connected manually after all other error checking is completed.
8.1.2 Bypass Capacitors
The general recommendation is to have one 100-nF capacitor for each power/ground pin pair. The
capacitors should be surface mount multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors similar to Panasonic part number
ECJ-0EB1A104K.
8.1.3 Ground Planes
Grounding should be done using continuous full ground planes to minimize the impedance for all ground
return paths, and provide the shortest possible image/return path for all signal traces.
8.1.4 Power System Example
The ADC12D1600RFRB uses continuous ground planes (except where clear areas are needed to provide
appropriate impedance management for specific signals), see Figure 8-1. Power is provided on one plane,
with the 1.9-V ADC supply being split into multiple zones or peninsulas for the specific power buses of the
ADC. Decoupling capacitors are connected between these power bus peninsulas and the adjacent ground
planes using vias. The capacitors are located as close to the individual power/ground pin pairs of the ADC
as possible. In most cases, this means the capacitors are located on the opposite side of the PCB to the
ADC.

8.3 Thermal Management
The Heat Slug Ball Grid Array (HSBGA) package is a modified version of the industry standard plastic
BGA (Ball Grid Array) package. Inside the package, a copper heat spreader cap is attached to the
substrate top with exposed metal in the center top area of the package. This results in a 20%
improvement (typical) in thermal performance over the standard plastic BGA package.
Figure 8-5. HSBGA Conceptual Drawing
The center balls are connected to the bottom of the die by vias in the package substrate, Figure 8-5. This
gives a low thermal resistance between the die and these balls. Connecting these balls to the PCB ground
planes with a low thermal resistance path is the best way dissipate the heat from the ADC. These pins
should also be connected to the ground plane through a low impedance path for electrical purposes. The
direct connection to the ground planes is an easy method to spread heat away from the ADC. Along with
the ground plane, the parallel power planes will provide additional thermal dissipation.
The center ground balls should be soldered down to the recommended ball pads (see AN-1126
(SNOA021)). These balls will have wide traces which in turn have vias which connect to the internal
ground planes, and a bottom ground pad/pour if possible. This ensures a good ground is provided for
these balls, and that the optimal heat transfer will occur between these balls and the PCB ground planes.
In spite of these package enhancements, analysis using the standard JEDEC JESD51-7 four-layer PCB
thermal model shows that ambient temperatures must be limited to 70/77°C to ensure a safe operating
junction temperature for the ADC12D1x00RF. However, most applications using the ADC12D1x00RF will
have a printed-circuit-board (PCB) which is more complex than that used in JESD51-7. Typical circuit
boards will have more layers than the JESD51-7 (eight or more), several of which will be used for ground
and power planes. In those applications, the thermal resistance parameters of the ADC12D1x00RF and
the circuit board can be used to determine the actual safe ambient operating temperature up to a
maximum of 85°C.
Three key parameters are provided to allow for modeling and calculations. Because there are two main
thermal paths between the ADC die and external environment, the thermal resistance for each of these
paths is provided. θJC1 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the exposed metal area on
the top of the HSBGA package. θJC2 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the center
group of balls on the bottom of the HSBGA package. The final parameter is the allowed maximum junction
temperature, TJ.
In other applications, a heat sink or other thermally conductive path can be added to the top of the
HSBGA package to remove heat. In those cases, θJC1 can be used along with the thermal parameters for
the heat sink or other thermal coupling added. Representative heat sinks which might be used with the
ADC12D1x00RF include the Cool Innovations p/n 3-1212XXG and similar products from other vendors. In
many applications, the PCB will provide the primary thermal path conducting heat away from the ADC
package. In those cases, θJC2 can be used in conjunction with PCB thermal modeling software to
determine the allowed operating conditions that will maintain the die temperature below the maximum
allowable limit. Additional dissipation can be achieved by coupling a heat sink to the copper pour area on
the bottom side of the PCB.

Typically, dissipation will occur through one predominant thermal path. In these cases, the following
calculations can be used to determine the maximum safe ambient operating temperature for the
ADC12D1000RF, for example:
TJ= TA+ PD× (θJC+θCA) (2)
TJ= TA+ PC(MAX) × (θJC+θCA) (3)
For θJC, the value for the primary thermal path in the given application environment should be used (θJC1
or θJC2). θCA is the thermal resistance from the case to ambient, which would typically be that of the heat
sink used. Using this relationship and the desired ambient temperature, the required heat sink thermal
resistance can be found. Alternately, the heat sink thermal resistance can be used to find the maximum
ambient temperature. For more complex systems, thermal modeling software can be used to evaluate the
PCB system and determine the expected junction temperature given the total system dissipation and
ambient temperature.

9.1.2 Device Nomenclature
9.1.2.1 Specification Definitions
APERTURE (SAMPLING) DELAY is the amount of delay, measured from the sampling edge of the CLK
input, after which the signal present at the input pin is sampled inside the device.
APERTURE JITTER (tAJ)is the variation in aperture delay from sample-to-sample. Aperture jitter can be
effectively considered as noise at the input.
CODE ERROR RATE (CER) is the probability of error and is defined as the probable number of word
errors on the ADC output per unit of time divided by the number of words seen in that amount of time. A
CER of 10-18 corresponds to a statistical error in one word about every 31.7 years for the
ADC12D1600RF.
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that the clock waveform is at a logic high to the total time of
one clock period.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step
size of 1 LSB. It is measured at the relevant sample rate, fCLK, with fIN = 1MHz sine wave.
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 states that the
converter is equivalent to a perfect ADC of this many (ENOB) number of bits.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the transfer function. It can be calculated from Offset
and Full-Scale Errors. The Positive Gain Error is the Offset Error minus the Positive Full-Scale Error. The
Negative Gain Error is the Negative Full-Scale Error minus the Offset Error. The Gain Error is the
Negative Full-Scale Error minus the Positive Full-Scale Error; it is also equal to the Positive Gain Error
plus the Negative Gain Error.
GAIN FLATNESS is the measure of the variation in gain over the specified bandwidth. For example, for
the ADC12D1600RF, from D.C. to Fs/2 is to 800 MHz for the Non- DES Mode and from D.C. to Fs/2 is
1600 MHz for the DES Mode.
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of worst case deviation of the ADC transfer function
from an ideal straight line drawn through the ADC transfer function. The deviation of any given code from
this straight line is measured from the center of that code value step. The best fit method is used.
INSERTION LOSS is the loss in power of a signal due to the insertion of a device, for example, the
ADC12D1x00RF, expressed in dB.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is a measure of the near-in 3rd order distortion products (2f2-
f1, 2f1- f2) which occur when two tones which are close in frequency (f1, f2) are applied to the ADC input. It
is measured from the input tone's level to the higher of the two distortion products (dBc) or simply the level
of the higher of the two distortion products (dBFS).
LSB (LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the smallest value or weight of all bits. This value is

where VFS is the differential full-scale amplitude VIN_FSR as set by the FSR input and "N" is the ADC
resolution in bits, which is 12 for the ADC12D1x00RF.
LOW VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL SIGNALING (LVDS) DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE (VID and
VOD)is two times the absolute value of the difference between the VD+ and VD- signals; each signal
measured with respect to Ground. VOD peak is VOD,P= (VD+-VD-) and VOD peak-to-peak is VOD,P-P=
2*(VD+-VD-); for this product, the VOD is measured peak-to-peak.
Figure 9-1. LVDS Output Signal Levels
LVDS OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE (VOS)is the midpoint between the D+ and D- pins output voltage
with respect to ground; that is, [(VD+) +( VD-)]/2. See Figure 9-1.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that are skipped and will never appear at the ADC outputs.
These codes cannot be reached with any input value.
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 (NFSE) is a measure of how far the first code transition is from the
ideal 1/2 LSB above a differential VIN/2 with the FSR pin low. For the ADC12D1x00RF the reference
voltage is assumed to be ideal, so this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference voltage
error.
NOISE FLOOR DENSITY is a measure of the power density of the noise floor, expressed in dBFS/Hz and
dBm/Hz. '0 dBFS' is defined as the power of a sinusoid which precisely uses the full-scale range of the
ADC.
NOISE POWER RATIO (NPR) is the ratio of the sum of the power inside the notched bins to the sum of
the power in an equal number of bins outside the notch, expressed in dB.
OFFSET ERROR (VOFF)is a measure of how far the mid-scale point is from the ideal zero voltage
differential input.
Offset Error = Actual Input causing average of 8k samples to result in an average code of 2047.5.
OUTPUT DELAY (tOD)is the time delay (in addition to Latency) after the rising edge of CLK+ before the
data update is present at the output pins.
OVER-RANGE RECOVERY TIME is the time required after the differential input voltages goes from ±1.2V
to 0V for the converter to recover and make a conversion with its rated accuracy.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of input clock cycles between initiation of conversion and
when that data is presented to the output driver stage. The data lags the conversion by the Latency plus
the tOD.
POSITIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (PFSE) is a measure of how far the last code transition is from the ideal
1-1/2 LSB below a differential +VIN/2. For the ADC12D1x00RF the reference voltage is assumed to be
ideal, so this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference voltage error.
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the fundamental for a
single-tone to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components below one-half the sampling
frequency, not including harmonics or DC.

value of the fundamental for a single-tone to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below
half the input clock frequency, including harmonics but excluding DC.
SPURIOUS-FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the rms values
of the input signal at the output and the peak spurious signal, where a spurious signal is any signal
present in the output spectrum that is not present at the input, excluding DC.
θJA is the thermal resistance between the junction to ambient.
θJC1 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the exposed metal area on the top of the
HSBGA package.
θJC2 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the center group of balls on the bottom of the
HSBGA package.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio expressed in dB, of the rms total of the first nine
harmonic levels at the output to the level of the fundamental at the output. THD is calculated as
(5)
where Af1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output) frequency and Af2 through Af10 are the RMS
power of the first 9 harmonic frequencies in the output spectrum.
Second Harmonic Distortion (2nd Harm) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the RMS power
in the input frequency seen at the output and the power in its 2nd harmonic level at the output.
Third Harmonic Distortion (3rd Harm) is the difference expressed in dB between the RMS power in
the input frequency seen at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic level at the output.
