PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD13280 is a complete dual channel signal process-
ing solution including on board amplifiers, references,
ADCs and output termination components to provide
optimized system performance. The AD13280 has on-
chip track-and-hold circuitry and utilizes an innovative
multipass architecture to achieve 12-bit, 80MSPS
performance. The AD13280 uses innovative high-density
circuit design and laser-trimmed thin-film resistor
networks to achieve exceptional channel matching, impedance
control, and performance while still maintaining excellent
isolation, and providing for significant board area savings.
Multiple options are provided for driving the analog input,
including single-ended, differential, and optional series filtering.
The AD13280 also offers the user a choice of Analog Input
Signal ranges to further minimize additional external signal
conditioning, while still remaining general purpose.
The AD13280 operates with +/- 5.0V for the Analog signal
conditioning with a separate +5.0V supply for the Analog to
Digital conversion, and +3.3V digital supply for the output
stage. Each channel is completely independent allowing
operation with independent Encode and Analog Inputs, and
maintaining minimal crosstalk and interference.
The AD13280 is packaged in a 68-lead Ceramic Gull Wing
Package. Manufacturing is done on Analog Devices, Inc. Mil-
38534 Qualified Manufacturers Line (QML) and components
are available up to Class-H (-40°C to 85°C). The components
are manufactured using Analog Devices, Inc. high-speed
complimentary bipolar process (XFCB).

NOTES
1. Gain tests are performed on AMP-IN-X-1input voltage range.
2. Full Power Bandwidth is the frequency at which the spectral power of the fundamental frequency (as determined by FFT analysis) is reduced by 3dB.
3. All AC specifications tested by driving ENCODE and ENCODE differentially. Single-ended input: AMP-IN-X-1 = 1Vpp, AMP-IN-X-2 = GND
4. Minimum and Maximum conversion rates allow for variation in Encode Duty Cycle of 50% ±5%.
5. Analog Input signal power at -1 dBFS; signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio of signal level to total noise (first 5 harmonics removed).
Encode = 80MSPS. SNR is reported in dBFS, related back to converter full scale.
6. Analog Input signal power at -1 dBFS; signal-to-noise and distortion (SINAD) is the ratio of signal level to total noise + harmonics.
Encode = 80MSPS. SINAD is reported in dBFS, related back to converter full scale.
7. Analog Input signal at -1 dBFS; SFDR is ratio of converter fullscale to worst spur.
8. Both input tones at -7 dBFS; two tone intermodulation distortion (IMD) rejection is the ratio of either tone to the worst 3rd order intermod product.
9. Channel to Channel Isolation tested with A channel grounded and a Fullscale signal applied to B channel.
10. Digital output logic levels: DVCC = 3.3V, CLOAD = 10pF. Capacitive loads > 10pF will degrade performance.
11. For differential input: +IN = 1Vpp and -IN = 1Vpp (signals are 180° out of phase). For single-ended input: +IN = 2Vpp and = -IN = GND.

Caution: ESD (electrostatic discharge) senstive device. Electrostatic charges as high
as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge
without detection. Although the AD13280 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry,
permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges.
Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation
or loss of functionality.

DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
Analog Bandwidth
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of the
fundamental frequency (as determined by the FFT analysis) is
reduced by 3 dB.
Aperture Delay
The delay between a differential crossing of ENCODE and
ENCODE command and the instant at which the analog input is
sampled.
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter)
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Differential Analog Input Resistance, Differential Analog
Input Capacitance, and Differential Analog Input Impedance
The real and complex impedances measured at each analog input
port. The resistance is measured statically and the capacitance
and defferential input impedances are measured with a network
analyzer.
Differential Analog Input Voltage Range
The peak-to-peak differential voltage that must be applied to the
converter to generate a full-scale response. Peak differential
voltage is computed by observing the voltage from the other pin,
which is 180 degrees out of phase. Peak-to-peak differential is
computed by rotating the inputs phase 180 degrees and taking
the peak measurement again. The difference is then computed
between both peak measurements.
Differential Nonlinerity
The deviation of any code from a ideal 1 LSB step.
Encode Plus Width/Duty Cycle
Pulse width high is the minimum amount of time that the
ENCODE pulse should be left in logic “1” state to achieve rated
performance; pulse width low is the minimum time ENCODE
pulse should be left in low state. At a given clock rate, these
specs define an acceptable Encode duty cycle.
Harmonic Distortion
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
worst harmonic component.
Integral Nonlinearity
The deviation of the transfer function from a reference line
measured in fractions of 1 LSB using a “best straight line”
determined by a least square curve fit.
Minimum Conversion Rate
The encode rate at which the SNR of the lowest analog signal
frequency drops by no more than 3 dB below the guaranteed
limit.
Maximum Conversion Rate
The encode rate at which parametric testing is performed.
Output Propagation Delay
The delay between a differential crossing of ENCODE and
ENCODE command and the time when all output data bits are
within valid logic levels.
Overvoltage Recovery Time
The amount of time required for the converter to recover to
0.02% accuracy after an analog input signal of the specified
percentage of full scale is reduced to midscale.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio
The ratio of a change in input offset voltage to a change in power
supply voltage.
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion (SINAD)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set at 1 dB below full scale) to
the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components, including
harmonics but excluding dc. May be reported in dB (i.e., degrades
as signal level is lowered) or in dBFS (always related back to
converter full scale).
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (without Harmonics)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set at 1 dB below full scale) to
the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components, excluding
the first five harmonics and dc. May be reported in dB (i.e.,
degrades as signal level is lowered) or in dBFS (always related back
to converter full scale).
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the peak
spurious spectral component. The peak spurious component may or
may not be a harmonic.
Transient Response
The time required for the converter to achieve 0.02% accuracy when
a one-half full-scale step function is applied to the analog input.
Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion Rejection
The ratio of the rms value of either input tone to the rms value of the
worst third order intermodulation product; reported in dBc.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD13280 is a high-dynamic range 12-bit, 80MHz pipline delay (3
pipelines) analog-to-digital converter. The custom analog input section
provides input ranges of 1 and 2 vp-p and input impedance configura-
tions of 50, 100 and 200 ohms.
The AD13280 employs four monolithic ADI components per channel
(AD8037, AD8138, AD8031, and a custom ADC IC), along with
multiple passive resistor networks and decoupling capacitors to fully
integrate a complete 12-bit analog-to-digital converter.
In the single ended input configuration the input signal is passed
through a precision laser trimmed resistor divider allowing the user to
externally select operation with a full scale signal of ±0.5V, or ±1.0V by
choosing the proper input terminal for the application. The result of the
resistor divider is to apply a full-scale input approximately 0.4V to the
non-inverting input of the internal AD8037 amplifier.
The AD13280 analog input includes an AD8037 amplifier featuring an
innovative architecture that maximizes the dynamic range capability on
the amplifiers inputs and outputs. The AD8037 amplifier provides a
high input impedance and gain for driving the AD8138 in a single-
ended to differential amplifier configuration. The AD8138 has a -3dB
bandwidth at 300MHz and delivers a differential signal with the lowest
harmonic distortion available in a differential amplifier. The AD8138
differential outputs help balance the differential inputs to the custom
ADC maximizing the performance of the device.
The AD8031 provides the buffer for the internal reference analog-to-
digital comverter. The internal reference voltage of the custom ADC is
designed to track the offsets and drifts and is used to ensure matching
over an extended temperature range of operation. The reference voltage
is connected to the output common mode input on the AD8138. This
reference voltage sets the output common mode on the AD8138 at 2.4V,
which is the mid-supply level for the ADC.
The custom ADC has complementary analog input pins, AIN and AIN.
Each analog input is centered at 2.4V and should swing ±0.55V around
this reference. Since AIN and AIN are 180 degrees out of phase, the
differential analog input signal is 2.2V peak-to-peak. Both analog
inputs are buffered prior to the first track-and-hold.
The custom ADC digital outputs drive 100 ohm series resistors (Figure
5.) The result is a 12-bit parallel digital CMOS-compatible word, coded
as two’s complement.
USING THE SINGLE-ENDED INPUT
The AD13280 has been designed with the user’s ease of operation in
mind. Multiple input configurations have been included on board to
allow the user a choice of input signal levels and input impedance. The
standard inputs are ±0.5V and ±1.0V. The user can select the input
impedance of the AD13280 on any input by using the other inputs as
alternate locations for the GND. The following chart summarizes the
impedance options available at each input location.
AMP-IN-X-1 = 100 when AMP-IN-X-2 open
AMP-IN-X-1 = 50 when AMP-IN-X-2 is shorted to GND
AMP-IN-X-2 = 200 when AMP-IN-X-1 open
Each channel has two analog inputs AMP-IN-A-1 and AMP-IN-A-2 or
AMP-IN-B-1 and AMP-IN-B-2. Use AMP-IN-A-1 or AMP-IN-B-1
when an input of ±.5V fullscale is desired. Use AMP-IN-A-2 or AMP-
IN-B-2 when ±1V fullscale is desired. Each channel has an AMP-OUT
which must be tied to either a non-inverting or inverting input of a
differential amplifier with the remaining input grounded. For example,
Side A, AMP-OUT-A (Pin 6) must be tied to A+IN (Pin 5) with A-IN
(Pin 5) tied to ground for non-inverting operation or AMP-OUT-A (pin
6) tied to A-IN (Pin 4) with A+IN (Pin 5) tied to ground for inverting
operation.
AD13280
USING THE DIFFERENTIAL INPUT
Each channel of the AD13280 was designed with two optional
differential inputs, A+IN, A-IN and B+IN, B-IN. The inputs provide
system designers with the ability to bypass the AD8037 amplifier and
drive the AD8138 directly. The AD8138 differential ADC driver can be
deployed in either a single-ended or differential input configuration.
The differential analog inputs have a nominal input impedance of 620
ohms and nominal full-scale input range of 1.2Vp-p. The AD8138
amplifier drives a differential filter and the custom analog-to-digital
converter. The differential input configuration provides the lowest
even-order harmonics and signal-to-noise (SNR) performance
improvement of up to 3dB (SNR = 73dBFS). Exceptional care was
taken in the layout of the differential input signal paths. The differential
input transmission line characteristics are matched and balanced. Equal
attention to system level signal paths must be provided in order to
realize significant performance improvements.
APPLYING THE AD13280
Encoding the AD13280
The AD13280 encode signal must be a high quality, extremely low
phase noise source, to prevent degradation of performance. Maintaining
12-bit accuracy at 80MSPS places a premium on encode clock phase
noise. SNR performance can easily degrade 3 dB to 4 dB with 37MHz
input signals when using a high-jitter clock source. See Analog
Devices’ Application Note AN-501, “Aperture Uncertainty and ADC
System Performance” for complete details. For optimum performance,
the AD13280 must be clocked differentially. The encode signal is
usually ac-coupled into the ENCODE and ENCODE pins via a
transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased internally and require
no additional bias.
Shown below is one preferred method for clocking the AD13280. The
clock source (low jitter) is converted from single-ended to differential
using an RF transformer. The back-to-back Schottky diodes across the
transformer secondary limit clock excursions into the AD13280 to
approximately 0.8 V p-p differential. This helps prevent the large
voltage swings of the clock from feeding through to the other portions
of the AD13280, and limits the noise presented to the ENCODE inputs.
A crystal clock oscillator can also be used to drive the RF transformer if
an appropriate limited resistor (typically 100 ) is placed in the series
with the primary.
Figure 6: Crystal Clock Oscillator - Differential Encode
If a low jitter ECL/PECL clock is available, another option is to ac-
couple a differential ECL/PECL signal to the encode input pins as
shown below. A device that offers excellent jitter performance is the
MC100LVEL16 (or same family) from Motorola.

Jitter Consideration
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for any ADC can be predicted. When
normalized to ADC codes, Equation 1 accurately predicts the SNR
based on three terms. These are jitter, average DNL error, and thermal
noise. Each of these terms contributes to the noise within the converter.

For a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter like the AD13280, aperture jitter
can greatly affect the SNR performance as the analog frequency is
increased. The chart below shows a family of curves that demonstrates
the expected SNR performance of the AD13280 as jitter increases. The
chart is derived from the above equation.

Devices' Application Note AN-501, "Aperture Uncertainty and ADC
System Performance.

Power Supplies
Care should be taken when selecting a power source. Linear supplies
are strongly recommended. Switching supplies tend to have radiated
components that may be "received" by the AD13280. Each of the
power supply pins should be decoupled as closely to the package as
possible using 0.1 µF chip capacitors.
The AD13280 has separate digital and analog power supply pins. The
analog supplies are denoted AVCC and the digital supply pins are
denoted DVCC. AVCC and DV CC should be separate power supplies.
This is because the fast digital output swings can couple switching
current back into the analog supplies. Note that AVCC must be held
within 5% of 5V. The AD13280 is specified for DVCC = 3.3V as this is
a common supply for digital ASICs.
Output Loading
Care must be taken when designing the data receivers for the AD13280 .
The digital outputs drive an internal series resistor (e.g. 100) followed
by a gate like 75LCX574. To minimize capacitive loading, there should
only be one gate on each output pin. An example of this is shown in the
evaluation board schematic shown in Figure. The digital outputs of the
AD13280 have a constant output slew rate of 1 V/ns. A typical CMOS
gate combined with a PCB trace will have a load of approximately
10pF. Therefore, as each bit switches, 10 mA (10 pF X 1 v ÷ 1ns) of
dynamic current per bit will flow in or out of the device. A full scale
transition can cause up to 140 mA (14 bits X 10 mA/bit) of transient
current through the output stages. These switching currents are
confined between ground and the DVCC pin. Standard TTL gates should
be avoided since they can appreciably add to the dynamic switching
currents of the AD13280. It should also be noted that extra capacitive
loading will increase output timing and invalidate timing specifications.
Digital output timing is guaranteed with 10 pF loads.

LAYOUT INFORMATION
The schematic of the evaluation board (Figure 9.) represents a typical
implementation of the AD13280. The pinout of the AD13280 is very
straightforward and facilitates ease of use and the implementation of
high frequency/high resolution design practices. It is recommended that
high quality ceramic chip capacitors be used to decouple each supply
pin to ground directly at the device. All capacitors can be standard high
quality ceramic chip capacitors.
Care should be taken when placing the digital output runs. Because the
digital outputs have such a high-slew rate, the capacitive loading on the
digital outputs should be minimized. Circuit traces for the digital
outputs should be kept short and connect directly to the receiving gate.
Internal circuitry buffers the outputs of the ADC through a resistor
network to eliminate the need to externally isolate the device from the
receiving gate.
EVALUATION BOARD
The AD13280 evaluation board (Figure 10.) is designed to provide
optimal performance for evaluation of the AD13280 analog-to-digital
converter. The board encompasses everything needed to insure the
highest level of performance for evaluating the AD13280. The board
requires an analog input signal, encode clock and power supply inputs.
The clock is buffered on-board to provide clocks for the latches. The
digital outputs and out clocks are available at the standard 40-pin
connectors J1 and J2.
Power to the analog supply pins is connected via banana jacks. The
analog supply powers the associated components and the analog section
of the AD13280. The digital outputs of the AD13280 are powered via
banana jacks with 3.3V. Contact the factory if additional layout or
applications assistance is required.
