    2, 3, etc. The 3rd order intermodulation products are 2fa+ fb, 2fb + fa, 2fa – fb and 2fb – fa. The intermodulationdistortion is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of eitherinput tone to the RMS value of the largest 3rd orderintermodulation product.

    Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)

    Spurious free dynamic range is the peak harmonic orspurious noise that is the largest spectral componentexcluding the input signal and DC. This value is expressedin decibels relative to the RMS value of a full scale inputsignal.

    Input Bandwidth

    The input bandwidth is that input frequency at which theamplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by3dB for a full scale input signal.

    Aperture Delay Time

    The time from when a rising ENC equals the ENC voltageto the instant that the input signal is held by the sample andhold circuit.

    Aperture Delay Jitter

    The variation in the aperture delay time from conversion toconversion. This random variation will result in noisewhen sampling an AC input. The signal to noise ratio dueto the jitter alone will be:

    SNRJITTER = –20log (2π) • FIN • TJITTER

    CONVERTER OPERATION

    As shown in Figure 1, the LTC1744 is a CMOS pipelinedmultistep converter. The converter has four pipelinedADC stages; a sampled analog input will result in adigitized value five cycles later, see the Timing Diagramsection. The analog input is differential for improvedcommon mode noise immunity and to maximize the inputrange. Additionally, the differential input drive will reduceeven order harmonics of the sample-and-hold circuit. Theencode input is also differential for improved commonmode noise immunity.

    DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

    Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion Ratio

    The signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio [S / (N + D)] is theratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental inputfrequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequencycomponents at the ADC output. The output is band limitedto frequencies above DC to below half the samplingfrequency.

    Signal-to-Noise Ratio

    The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio between theRMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency andthe RMS amplitude of all other frequency componentsexcept the first five harmonics and DC.

    Total Harmonic Distortion

    Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the RMS sum of allharmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself. Theout-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency bandbetween DC and half the sampling frequency. THD isexpressed as:

    THD LogV V V Vn

    V= + + +20 2 3 4

    1

    2 2 2 2...

    where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental fre-quency and V2 through Vn are the amplitudes of thesecond through nth harmonics. The THD calculated in thisdata sheet uses all the harmonics up to the fifth.

    Intermodulation Distortion

    If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectralcomponent, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity canproduce intermodulation distortion (IMD) in addition toTHD. IMD is the change in one sinusoidal input caused bythe presence of another sinusoidal input at a differentfrequency.

    If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are appliedto the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transferfunction can create distortion products at the sum anddifference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m and n = 0, 1,

    The LTC1744 has two phases of operation, determined bythe state of the differential ENC/ENC input pins. For brev-ity, the text will refer to ENC greater than ENC as ENC highand ENC less than ENC as ENC low.

    Each pipelined stage shown in Figure 1 contains an ADC,a reconstruction DAC and an interstage residue amplifier.In operation, the ADC quantizes the input to the stage andthe quantized value is subtracted from the input by theDAC to produce a residue. The residue is amplified andoutput by the residue amplifier. Successive stages operateout of phase so that when the odd stages are outputtingtheir residue, the even stages are acquiring that residueand visa versa.

    When ENC is low, the analog input is sampled differentiallydirectly onto the input sample-and-hold capacitors, insidethe “Input S/H” shown in the block diagram. At the instantthat ENC transitions from low to high, the sampled inputis held. While ENC is high, the held input voltage isbuffered by the S/H amplifier which drives the first pipelinedADC stage. The first stage acquires the output of the S/Hduring this high phase of ENC. When ENC goes back low,

    the first stage produces its residue which is acquired bythe second stage. At the same time, the input S/H goesback to acquiring the analog input. When ENC goes backhigh, the second stage produces its residue which isacquired by the third stage. An identical process is re-peated for the third stage, resulting in a third stage residuethat is sent to the fourth stage ADC for final evaluation.

    Each ADC stage following the first has additional range toaccommodate flash and amplifier offset errors. Resultsfrom all of the ADC stages are digitally delayed such thatthe results can be properly combined in the correctionlogic before being sent to the output buffer.

    SAMPLE/HOLD OPERATION AND INPUT DRIVE

    Sample Hold Operation

    Figure 2 shows an equivalent circuit for the LTC1744CMOS differential sample-and-hold. The differential ana-log inputs are sampled directly onto sampling capacitors(CSAMPLE) through CMOS transmission gates. This directcapacitor sampling results in lowest possible noise for a

    given sampling capacitor size. The capacitors shownattached to each input (CPARASITIC) are the summation ofall other capacitance associated with each input.

    During the sample phase when ENC/ENC is low, thetransmission gate connects the analog inputs to the sam-pling capacitors and they charge to and track the differen-tial input voltage. When ENC/ENC transitions from low tohigh the sampled input voltage is held on the samplingcapacitors. During the hold phase when ENC/ENC is highthe sampling capacitors are disconnected from the inputand the held voltage is passed to the ADC core forprocessing. As ENC/ENC transitions from high to low theinputs are reconnected to the sampling capacitors toacquire a new sample. Since the sampling capacitors stillhold the previous sample, a charging glitch proportional to

    the change in voltage between samples will be seen at thistime. If the change between the last sample and the newsample is small the charging glitch seen at the input will besmall. If the input change is large, such as the change seenwith input frequencies near Nyquist, then a larger chargingglitch will be seen.

    Common Mode Bias

    The ADC sample-and-hold circuit requires differentialdrive to achieve specified performance. Each input shouldswing ±0.8V for the 3.2V range or ±0.5V for the 2V range,around a common mode voltage of 2.5V. The VCM outputpin (Pin 2) may be used to provide the common mode biaslevel. VCM can be tied directly to the center tap of atransformer to set the DC input level or as a reference levelto an op amp differential driver circuit. The VCM pin mustbe bypassed to ground close to the ADC with 4.7µF orgreater.

    Input Drive Impedance

    As with all high performance, high speed ADCs the dy-namic performance of the LTC1744 can be influenced bythe input drive circuitry, particularly the second and thirdharmonics. Source impedance and input reactance caninfluence SFDR. At the falling edge of encode the sample-and-hold circuit will connect the 7pF sampling capacitor tothe input pin and start the sampling period. The samplingperiod ends when encode rises, holding the sampled inputon the sampling capacitor. Ideally the input circuitryshould be fast enough to fully charge the sampling capaci-tor during the sampling period 1/(2FENCODE); however,this is not always possible and the incomplete settling maydegrade the SFDR. The sampling glitch has been designedto be as linear as possible to minimize the effects ofincomplete settling.

    For the best performance, it is recomended to have asource impedence of 100Ω or less for each input. Thesource impedence should be matched for the differentialinputs. Poor matching will result in higher even orderharmonics, especially the second.

    Input Drive Circuits

    Figure 3 shows the LTC1744 being driven by an RFtransformer with a center tapped secondary. The second-ary center tap is DC biased with VCM, setting the ADC inputsignal at its optimum DC level. Figure 3 shows a 1:1 turnsratio transformer. Other turns ratios can be used if thesource impedence seen by the ADC does not exceed 100Ωfor each ADC input. A disadvantage of using a transformeris the loss of low frequency response. Most small RFtransformers have poor performance at frequencies be-low 1MHz.

    frequencies higher than 40MHz, the capacitors may needto be decreased to prevent excessive signal loss.

    Reference Operation

    Figure 5 shows the LTC1744 reference circuitry consistingof a 2.5V bandgap reference, a difference amplifier andswitching and control circuit. The internal voltage refer-ence can be configured for two pin selectable input rangesof 2V(±1V differential) or 3.2V(±1.6V differential). Tyingthe SENSE pin to ground selects the 2V range; tying theSENSE pin to VDD selects the 3.2V range.

    The 2.5V bandgap reference serves two functions: itsoutput provides a DC bias point for setting the commonmode voltage of any external input circuitry; additionally,the reference is used with a difference amplifier to gener-ate the differential reference levels needed by the internalADC circuitry.

    Figure 4a demonstrates the use of operational amplifiersto convert a single ended input signal into a differentialinput signal. The advantage of this method is that itprovides low frequency input response; however, thelimited gain bandwidth of most op amps will limit theSFDR at high input frequencies.

    Figure 4b shows the LT6600, a low noise differentialamplifier and lowpass filter, used as an input driver. TheLT6600 provides two functions: it serves as a 4th orderlowpass filter and as a single-ended to differential con-verter. Additionally it can be programmed with one exter-nal resistor to provide a gain from 1 to 4. Three versionsof this device are available having lowpass filter band-widths of 2.5MHz, 10MHz or 20MHz.

    The 37Ω resistors and 18pF capacitors on the analoginputs serve two purposes: isolating the drive circuitryfrom the sample-and-hold charging glitches and limitingthe wideband noise at the converter input. For input

    An external bypass capacitor of 4.7µF or larger is requiredfor the 2.5V reference output, VCM. This provides a highfrequency low impedance path to ground for internal andexternal circuitry. This is also the compensation capacitorfor the reference. It will not be stable without this capacitor.

    The difference amplifier generates the high and low refer-ence for the ADC. High speed switching circuits areconnected to these outputs and they must be externallybypassed. Each output has two pins: REFHA and REFHBfor the high reference and REFLA and REFLB for the lowreference. The doubled output pins are needed to reducepackage inductance. Bypass capacitors must be con-nected as shown in Figure 5.

    Other voltage ranges in between the pin selectable rangescan be programmed with two external resistors as shownin Figure 6a. An external reference can be used by applyingits output directly or through a resistor divider to SENSE.It is not recommended to drive the SENSE pin with a logicdevice since the logic threshold is close to ground andVDD. The SENSE pin should be tied high or low as close tothe converter as possible. If the SENSE pin is drivenexternally, it should be bypassed to ground as close to thedevice as possible with a 1µF ceramic capacitor.

    Input Range

    The input range can be set based on the application. Foroversampled signal processing in which the input fre-quency is low (10MHz), the 2V range will have the best SFDR perfor-mance but the SNR will degrade by 3.5dB. See the TypicalPerformance Characteristics section.

    Driving the Encode Inputs

    The noise performance of the LTC1744 can depend on theencode signal quality as much as on the analog input. TheENC/ENC inputs are intended to be driven differentially,primarily for noise immunity from common mode noisesources. Each input is biased through a 6k resistor to a 2Vbias. The bias resistors set the DC operating point fortransformer coupled drive circuits and can set the logicthreshold for single-ended drive circuits.

    Any noise present on the encode signal will result inadditional aperture jitter that will be RMS summed with theinherent ADC aperture jitter.

    In applications where jitter is critical (high input frequen-cies) take the following into consideration:

    1. Differential drive should be used.

    2. Use as large an amplitude as possible; if transformercoupled use a higher turns ratio to increase theamplitude.

    3. If the ADC is clocked with a sinusoidal signal, filter theencode signal to reduce wideband noise.

    4. Balance the capacitance and series resistance at bothencode inputs so that any coupled noise will appear atboth inputs as common mode noise.

    The encode inputs have a common mode range of 1.8V toVDD. Each input may be driven from ground to VDD forsingle-ended drive.

    Maximum and Minimum Encode Rates

    The maximum encode rate for the LTC1744 is 50Msps. Forthe ADC to operate properly the ENCODE signal shouldhave a 50% (±5%) duty cycle. Each half cycle must haveat least 9.5ns for the ADC internal circuitry to have enoughsettling time for proper operation. Achieving a precise50% duty cycle is easy with differential sinusoidal driveusing a transformer or using symmetric differential logicsuch as PECL or LVDS. When using a single-endedENCODE signal asymmetric rise and fall times can resultin duty cycles that are far from 50%.

    At sample rates slower than 50Msps the duty cycle canvary from 50% as long as each half cycle is at least 9.5ns.

    The lower limit of the LTC1744 sample rate is determinedby droop of the sample-and-hold circuits. The pipelinedarchitecture of this ADC relies on storing analog signals onsmall valued capacitors. Junction leakage will dischargethe capacitors. The specified minimum operating fre-quency for the LTC1744 is 1Msps.

    DIGITAL OUTPUTS

    Digital Output Buffers

    Figure 9 shows an equivalent circuit for a single outputbuffer. Each buffer is powered by OVDD and OGND, iso-lated from the ADC power and ground. The additionalN-channel transistor in the output driver allows operationdown to low voltages. The internal resistor in series withthe output makes the output appear as 50Ω to externalcircuitry and may eliminate the need for external dampingresistors.

    Output Loading

    As with all high speed/high resolution converters thedigital output loading can affect the performance. Thedigital outputs of the LTC1744 should drive a minimalcapacitive load to avoid possible interaction between thedigital outputs and sensitive input circuitry. The outputshould be buffered with a device such as an ALVCH16373CMOS latch. For full speed operation the capacitive loadshould be kept under 10pF. A resistor in series with theoutput may be used but is not required since the ADC hasa series resistor of 43Ω on chip.

    Lower OVDD voltages will also help reduce interferencefrom the digital outputs.

    Format

    The LTC1744 parallel digital output can be selected foroffset binary or 2’s complement format. The format isselected with the MSBINV pin; high selects offset binary.

    Overflow Bit

    An overflow output bit indicates when the converter isoverranged or underranged. When OF outputs a logic highthe converter is either overranged or underranged.

    Output Clock

    The ADC has a delayed version of the ENC input availableas a digital output, CLKOUT. The CLKOUT pin can be usedto synchronize the converter data to the digital system.This is necessary when using a sinusoidal ENCODE. Datawill be updated just after CLKOUT falls and can be latchedon the rising edge of CLKOUT.

    Output Driver Power

    Separate output power and ground pins allow the outputdrivers to be isolated from the analog circuitry. The powersupply for the digital output buffers, OVDD, should be tiedto the same power supply as for the logic being driven. Forexample if the converter is driving a DSP powered by a 3Vsupply then OVDD should be tied to that same 3V supply.OVDD can be powered with any voltage up to 5V. The logicoutputs will swing between OGND and OVDD.

    Output Enable

    The outputs may be disabled with the output enable pin,OE. OE low disables all data outputs including OF andCLKOUT. The data access and bus relinquish times are tooslow to allow the outputs to be enabled and disabledduring full speed operation. The output Hi-Z state isintended for use during long periods of inactivity.

    GROUNDING AND BYPASSING

    The LTC1744 requires a printed circuit board with a cleanunbroken ground plane. A multilayer board with an inter-nal ground plane is recommended. The pinout of theLTC1744 has been optimized for a flowthrough layout sothat the interaction between inputs and digital outputs isminimized. Layout for the printed circuit board shouldensure that digital and analog signal lines are separated asmuch as possible. In particular, care should be taken notto run any digital track alongside an analog signal track, anencode signal track or underneath the ADC.

    High quality ceramic bypass capacitors should be used atthe VDD, VCM, REFHA, REFHB, REFLA and REFLB pins asshown in the block diagram on the front page of this datasheet. Bypass capacitors must be located as close to thepins as possible. Of particular importance are the capaci-tors between REFHA and REFLB and between REFHB andREFLA. These capacitors should be as close to the deviceas possible (1.5mm or less). Size 0402 ceramic capacitors

    are recomended. The large 4.7µF capacitor between REFHAand REFLA can be somewhat further away. The tracesconnecting the pins and bypass capacitors must be keptshort and should be made as wide as possible.

    The LTC1744 differential inputs should run parallel andclose to each other. The input traces should be as short aspossible to minimize capacitance and to minimize noisepickup.

    An analog ground plane separate from the digital process-ing system ground should be used. All ADC ground pinslabeled GND should connect to this plane. All ADC VDDbypass capacitors, reference bypass capacitors and inputfilter capacitors should connect to this analog plane. TheLTC1744 has three output driver ground pins, labeledOGND (Pins 27, 38 and 47). These grounds should con-nect to the digital processing system ground. The outputdriver supply, OVDD should be connected to the digitalprocessing system supply. OVDD bypass capacitors shouldbypass to the digital system ground. The digital process-ing system ground should connected to the analog planeat ADC OGND (Pin 38).

    HEAT TRANSFER

    Most of the heat generated by the LTC1744 is transferredfrom the die through the package leads onto the printedcircuit board. In particular, ground pins 12, 13, 36 and 37are fused to the die attach pad. These pins have the lowestthermal resistance between the die and the outside envi-ronment. It is critical that all ground pins are connected toa ground plane of sufficient area. The layout of the evalu-ation circuit shown on the following pages has a low ther-mal resistance path to the internal ground plane by usingmultiple vias near the ground pins. A ground plane of thissize results in a thermal resistance from the die to ambientof 35°C/W. Smaller area ground planes or poorly connectedground pins will result in higher thermal resistance.
