DESCRIPTION
The ADS5422 is a high-dynamic range, 14-bit, 62MSPS,
pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). It includes a
high-bandwidth linear track-and-hold amplifier that gives good
spurious performance up to the Nyquist rate. The clock input
can accept a low-level differential sine wave or square wave
signal down to 0.5V
PP
, further improving the Signal-to-Noise
Ratio (SNR) performance.
The ADS5422 has a 4V
PP
differential input range
(2V
PP
2 inputs) for optimum Spurious-Free Dynamic
Range (SFDR). The differential operation gives the lowest
even-order harmonic components. A lower input voltage can
also be selected using the internal references, further optimizing
SFDR.
The ADS5422 is available in an LQFP-64 package.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instru-
ments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published

APPLICATION INFORMATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS5422 is a high-speed, high-performance, CMOS
ADC built with a fully differential pipeline architecture. Each
stage contains a low-resolution quantizer and digital error
correction logic ensuring good differential linearity. The con-
version process is initiated by a rising edge of the external
convert clock. Once the signal is captured by the input track-
and-hold amplifier, the bits are sequentially encoded starting
with the Most Significant Bit (MSB). This process results in a
data latency of 10 clock cycles after which the output data is
available as a 14-bit parallel word either coded in a Straight
Offset Binary or Binary Twos Complement format.
The analog input of the ADS5422 consists of a differential
track-and-hold circuit, as shown in Figure 1. The differential
topology produces a high level of AC performance at high
sampling rates. It also results in a very high usable input
bandwidthespecially important for Intermediate Frequency
(IF) or undersampling applications. Both inputs (IN,
IN
)
require external biasing up to a common-mode voltage that
is typically at the mid-supply level (+VS/2). This is because
the on-resistance of the CMOS switches is lowest at this
voltage, minimizing the effects of the signal-dependent,

ANALOG INPUTS
TYPES OF APPLICATIONS
The analog input of the ADS5422 can be configured in
various ways and driven with different circuits, depending on
the application and the desired level of performance. Offering
an extremely high dynamic range at high input frequencies,
the ADS5422 is particularly well-suited for communication
systems that digitize wideband signals. Features on the
ADS5422, like the input range selector, or the option of an
external reference, provide the needed flexibility to accom-
modate a wide range of applications. In any case, the analog
interface/driver requirements should be carefully examined
before selecting the appropriate circuit configuration. The
circuit definition should include considerations on the input
frequency spectrum and amplitude, as well as the available
power supplies.
DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS
The ADS5422 input structure is designed to accept the
applied signal in differential format. Differential operation of
the ADS5422 requires an input signal that consists of an in-
phase and a 180° out-of-phase component simultaneously
applied to the inputs (IN,
IN
). Differential signals offer a
number of advantages, which in many applications will be
instrumental in achieving the best harmonic performance of
the ADS5422:
The signal amplitude is half of that required for the single-
ended operation and is, therefore, less demanding to
achieve while maintaining good linearity performance from
the signal source.
The reduced signal swing allows for more headroom of
the interface circuitry and, therefore, a wider selection of
the best suitable driver amplifier.
Even-order harmonics are minimized.
Improves the noise immunity based on the common-
mode input rejection of the converter.
Both inputs are identical in terms of their impedance and
performance with the exception that by applying the signal to
the complementary input (
IN
) instead of the IN input will invert
the orientation of the input signal relative to the output code.
INPUT FULL-SCALE RANGE VERSUS PERFORMANCE
Employing dual-supply amplifiers and AC-coupling will usually
yield the best results. DC-coupling and/or single-supply ampli-
fiers impose additional design constraints due to their head-
room requirements, especially when selecting the
4VPP input range. The full-scale input range of the ADS5422
is defined either by the settings of the reference select pins
(SEL1, SEL2) or by an external reference voltage
(see Table I). By choosing between the different signal input
ranges, trade-offs can be made between noise and distortion
performance. For maximizing the SNRimportant for time-
domain applicationsthe 4VPP range may be selected. This
range may also be used with low-level (6dBFS to 40dBFS)
but high-frequency inputs (multi-tone). The 3VPP range may be
considered for achieving a combination of both low-noise and
distortion performance. Here, the SNR number is typically 3dB
down compared to the 4VPP range, whereas an improvement
in the distortion performance of the driver amplifier may be
realized due to the reduced output power level required.
INPUT BIASING (VCM)
The ADS5422 operates from a single +5V supply, and
requires each of the analog inputs to be externally biased to
a common-mode voltage of typically +2.5V. This allows a
symmetrical signal swing while maintaining sufficient head-
room to either supply rail. Communication systems are usu-
ally AC-coupled in between signal processing stages, mak-
ing it convenient to set individual common-mode voltages
and allow optimizing the DC operating point for each stage.
Other applications, such as imaging, process mainly unipolar
or DC-restored signals. In this case, the common-mode
voltage can be shifted such that the full input range of the
converter is utilized.
It should be noted that the CM pin is not internally buffered,
but ties directly to the reference ladder; therefore, it is
recommended to keep loading of this pin to a minimum
(< 100µA) to avoid an increase in the nonlinearity of the
converter. Additionally, the DC voltage at the CM pin is not
precisely +2.5V, but is subject to the tolerance of the top and
bottom references, as well as the resistor ladder. Further-
more, the common-mode voltage typically declines with an
increase in sampling frequency. This, however, does not
affect the performance.
INPUT IMPEDANCE
The input of the ADS5422 is capacitive, and the driving source
needs to provide the slew current to charge or discharge the
input sampling capacitor while the track-and-hold amplifier is
in track mode (see Figure 1). This effectively results in a
dynamic input impedance that is a function of the sampling
frequency. Figure 2 depicts the differential input impedance of
the ADS5422 as a function of the input frequency.

For applications that use op amps to drive the ADC, it is
recommended that a series resistor be added between the
amplifier output and the converter inputs. This will isolate the
capacitive input of the converter from the driving source and
avoid gain peaking, or instability; furthermore, it will create a 1st-
order, low-pass filter in conjunction with the specified input
capacitance of the ADS5422. Its cutoff frequency can be
adjusted further by adding an external shunt capacitor from
each signal input to ground. The optimum values of this RC
network, however, depend on a variety of factors including the
ADS5422 sampling rate, the selected op amp, the interface
configuration, and the particular application (time domain versus
frequency domain). Generally, increasing the size of the series
resistor and/or capacitor will improve the SNR; however, de-
pending on the signal source, large resistor values can be
detrimental to the harmonic distortion performance. In any case,
the use of the RC network is optional but optimizing the values
to adapt to the specific application is encouraged.
ANALOG INPUT DRIVER CONFIGURATIONS
The following section provides some principal circuit sugges-
tions on how to interface the analog input signal to the
ADS5422. Applications that have a requirement for DC-
coupling a new differential amplifier, such as the THS4502,
can be used to drive the ADS5422, as shown in Figure 3. The
THS4502 amplifier allows a single-ended to differential con-
version to be performed easily, which reduces component
cost. In addition, the VCM pin on the THS4502 can be directly
tied to the common-mode pin (CM) of the ADS5422 in order
to set up the necessary bias voltage for the converter inputs.
As shown in Figure 3, the THS4502 is configured for unity
gain. If required, higher gain can easily be configured, and a
low-pass filter can be created by adding small capacitors
(e.g., 10pF) in parallel to the feedback resistors. Due to the
THS4502 driving a capacitive load, small series resistors in
the output ensure stable operation. Further details of this and
other functions of the THS4502 may be found in its product
datasheet located at the Texas Instruments web site
(www.ti.com). In general, differential amplifiers provide for a
high-performance driver solution for baseband applications,
and different differential amplifier models can be selected
depending on the system requirements.
TRANSFORMER-COUPLED INTERFACE CIRCUITS
If the application allows for AC-coupling but requires a signal
conversion from a single-ended source to drive the ADS5422
differentially, using a transformer offers a number of advan-
tages. As a passive component, it does not add to the total
noise, and by using a step-up transformer, further signal
amplification can be realized. As a result, the signal swing of
the amplifier driving the transformer can be reduced, leading
to an increased headroom for the amplifier and improved
distortion performance.
A transformer interface solution is given in Figure 4. The input
signal is assumed to be an IF and bandpass filtered prior to the
IF amplifier. Dedicated IF amplifiers are commonly fixed-gain
blocks and feature a very high bandwidth, a low-noise figure,
and a high intercept point, but at the expense of high quiescent
currents, which are often around 100mA. The IF amplifier may
be AC-coupled, or directly connected to the primary side of the
transformer. A variety of miniature RF transformers are readily
available from different manufacturers, (e.g., Mini-Circuits,
Coilcraft, or Trak). For selection, it is important to carefully
examine the application requirements and determine the cor-
rect model, the desired impedance ratio, and frequency char-
acteristics. Furthermore, the appropriate model must support
the targeted distortion level and should not exhibit any core
saturation at full-scale voltage levels. The transformer center
tap can be directly tied to the CM pin of the converter because
it does not appreciably load the ADC reference (see Figure 4).
The value of termination resistor RT must be chosen to satisfy
the termination requirements of the source impedance (RS). It
can be calculated using the equation RT = n2 RS to ensure
proper impedance matching.

TRANSFORMER-COUPLED, SINGLE-ENDED-TO-
DIFFERENTIAL CONFIGURATION
For applications in which the input frequency is limited to
approximately 10MHz (e.g., baseband), a high-speed opera-
tional amplifier may be used. The OPA847 is configured for
the noninverting mode; this amplifies the single-ended input
signal and drives the primary of a RF transformer, as shown
in Figure 5. To maintain the very low distortion performance
of the OPA847, it may be advantageous to set the full-scale
input range of the ADS5422 to 3VPP.
The circuit also shows the use of an additional RC low-pass
filter placed in series with each converter input. This optional
filter can be used to set a defined corner frequency and
attenuate some of the wideband noise. The actual compo-
nent values would need to be tuned for individual application
requirements. As a guideline, resistor values are typically in
the range of 10 to 50, and capacitors in the range of 10pF
to 100pF. In any case, the RIN and CIN values should have
a low tolerance. This will ensure that the ADS5422 sees
closely matched source impedances.

AC-COUPLED, DIFFERENTIAL INTERFACE
WITH GAIN
The interface circuit example presented in Figure 6 employs
two OPA847s (decompensated voltage-feedback op amps),
optimized for gains of 12V/V or higher. Implementing a new
compensation technique allows the OPA847s to operate with
a reduced signal gain of 8.5V/V, while maintaining the high
loop gain and the associated excellent distortion perfor-
mance offered by the decompensated architecture. For a
detailed discussion on this circuit and the compensation
scheme, refer to the OPA847 data sheet (SBOS251) avail-
able at www.ti.com. Input transformer, T1, converts the
single-ended input signal to a differential signal required at
the inverting inputs of the amplifier, which are tuned to
provide a 50 impedance match to an assumed 50 source.
To achieve the 50 input match at the primary of the 1:2
transformer, the secondary must see a 200 load imped-
ance. Both amplifiers are configured for the inverting mode
resulting in close gain and phase matching of the differential
signal. This technique, along with a highly symmetrical lay-
out, is instrumental in achieving a substantial reduction of the
2nd-harmonic, while retaining excellent 3rd-order perfor-
mance. A common-mode voltage, VCM, is applied to the
noninverting inputs of the OPA847. Additional series 20
resistors isolate the output of the op amps from the capaci-
tive load presented by the 40pF capacitors and the input
capacitance of the ADS5422. This 20/47pF combination
sets a pole at approximately 85MHz and rolls off some of the
wideband noise resulting in a reduction of the noise floor.
The measured 2-tone, 3rd-order distortion for the amplifier
portion of the circuit of Figure 6 is shown in Figure 7. The
curve is for a total 2-tone envelope of 4VPP, requiring two
tones, each 2VPP across the OPA847 outputs. The basic
measurement dynamic range for the two close-in spurious
tones is approximately 85dBc. The 4VPP test does not show
measurable 3rd-order spurious until 25MHz.

REFERENCE
REFERENCE OPERATION
Integrated into the ADS5422 is a bandgap reference circuit
including logic that provides a +1.5V or +2V reference output
by selecting the corresponding pin-strap configuration. Table I
gives an overview of the possible reference options and pin
configurations.
Figure 8 shows the basic model of the internal reference
circuit. The functional blocks are a 1V bandgap voltage
reference, a selectable gain amplifier, the drivers for the top
and bottom reference (REFT, REFB), and the resistive refer-
ence ladder. The ladder resistance measures approximately
1k between the REFT and REFB pins. The ladder is split
into two equal segments establishing a common-mode volt-
age at the ladder midpoint, labeled CM. The ADS5422
requires solid bypassing for all reference pins to keep the
effects of clock feedthrough to a minimum and to achieve the
specified level of performance. Figure 8 shows the recom-
mended decoupling scheme. All 0.1µF capacitors should be
located as close to the pins as possible. In addition, pins
REFT, CM, and REFB should be decoupled with tantalum
surface-mount capacitors (2.2µF or 4.7µF).
When operating the ADS5422 with the internal reference, the
effective full-scale input span for each of the inputs, IN and
IN
, is determined by the voltage at the VREF pin, given to:
(1)
Input Span (differential, each input) = V
REF
= (REFT REFB) in V
PP
The top and bottom reference outputs may be used to
provide up to 1mA of current (sink or source) to external
circuits. Degradation of the differential linearity (DNL) and,
consequently, the dynamic performance, of the ADS5422
can occur if this limit is exceeded.
USING EXTERNAL REFERENCES
For even more design flexibility, the ADS5422 can be
operated with external references. The utilization of an
external reference voltage can be considered for applica-
tions requiring higher accuracy, improved temperature sta-
bility, or a continuous adjustment of the converter full-scale
range. Especially in multichannel applications, the use of a
common external reference offers the benefit of improving
the gain matching between converters. Selection between
internal or external reference operation is controlled through
the VREF pin. The internal reference will become disabled if
the voltage applied to the VREF pin exceeds +3.5VDC. Once
selected, the ADS5422 requires two reference voltagesa
top reference voltage applied to the REFT pin and a bottom
reference voltage applied to the REFB pin (see Table I).
The full-scale range is determined by FSR = 2 x (VREFT
VREFB). It is recommended to maintain the common-mode
voltage of +2.5V. As illustrated in Figure 9, a micropower
reference (REF1004) and a dual, single-supply amplifier
(OPA2234) can be used to generate a precision external
reference. Note that the function of the range select pins,
SEL1 and SEL2, are disabled while the converter is oper-
ating in external reference mode.

DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
CLOCK INPUT
Unlike most ADCs, the ADS5422 contains internal clock
conditioning circuitry. This enables the converter to adapt to
a variety of application requirements and different clock
sources. With no input signal connected to either clock pin,
the threshold level is set to approximately +1.6V by the on-
chip resistive voltage divider, as shown in Figure 10. The
parallel combination of R1 || R2 and R3 || R4 sets the input
impedance of the clock inputs (CLK, CLK) to approximately
2.7k single-ended, or 5.5k differentially. The associated
ground referenced input capacitance is approximately 5pF
for each input. If a logic voltage other than the nominal +1.6V
is desired, the clock inputs can be externally driven to
establish an alternate threshold voltage.
Applying a single-ended clock signal will provide satisfactory
results in many applications. However, unbalanced high-speed
logic signals can introduce a high amount of disturbances,
such as ringing or ground bouncing. In addition, a high
amplitude may cause the clock signal to have unsymmetrical
rise-and-fall times, potentially affecting the converter distortion
performance. Proper termination practice and a clean PC
board layout will help to keep those effects to a minimum.
To take full advantage of the excellent distortion performance of
the ADS5422, it is recommended to drive the clock inputs
differentially. A differential clock improves the digital feedthrough
immunity and minimizes the effect of modulation between the
signal and the clock. Figure 12 illustrates a simple method of
converting a square wave clock from single-ended to differential
using an RF transformer. Small surface-mount transformers are
readily available from several manufacturers (e.g., model ADT1-
1 by Mini-Circuits). A capacitor in series with the primary side
ca n be inserted to block any DC voltage present in the signal.
The secondary side connects directly to the two clock inputs of
the converter because the clock inputs are self-biased.

(3V/5V)
The ADS5422 can be interfaced to standard TTL or CMOS
logic and accepts 3V or 5V compliant logic levels. In this
case, the clock signal should be applied to the CLK input,
while the complementary clock input (CLK) should be by-
passed to ground by a low-inductance ceramic chip capaci-
tor, as shown in Figure 11. Depending on the quality of the
signal, inserting a series, damping resistor may be beneficial
to reduce ringing. When digitizing at high sampling rates the
clock should have a 50% duty cycle (tH = tL) to maintain good
distortion performance. FIGURE 12. Connecting a Ground-Referenced Clock Source

The clock inputs of the ADS5422 can be connected in a
number of ways. However, the best performance is obtained
when the clock input pins are driven differentially. Operating in
this mode, the clock inputs accommodate signal swings rang-
ing from 2.5VPP down to 0.5VPP differentially. This allows direct
interfacing of clock sources such as voltage-controlled crystal
oscillators (VCXO) to the ADS5422. The advantage here is the
elimination of external logic, usually necessary to convert the
clock signal into a suitable logic (TTL or CMOS) signal that
otherwise would create an additional source of jitter. In any
case, a very low-jitter clock is fundamental to preserving the
excellent AC performance of the ADS5422. The converter
itself is specified for a low jitter, characterizing the outstanding
capability of the internal clock and track-and-hold circuitry.
Generally, as the input frequency increases, the clock jitter
becomes more dominant for maintaining a good signal-to-
noise ratio. This is particularly critical in IF sampling applica-
tions where the sampling frequency is lower than input fre-
quency (undersampling). The following equation can be used
to calculate the achievable SNR for a given input frequency
and clock jitter (tJA in ps rms):
SNR 20 log 1
2 ft
10 IN JA

(2)
Depending on the nature of the clock sources output imped-
ance, impedance matching might become necessary. For
this, a termination resistor, RT, may be installed, as shown in
Figure 13. To calculate the correct value for this resistor,
consider the impedance ratio of the selected transformer and
the differential clock input impedance of the ADS5422, which
is approximately 5.5k.
Shown in Figure 13 is one preferred method for clocking the
ADS5422. Here, the single-ended clock source can be either
a square wave or a sine wave. Using the high-speed differ-
ential translator SN65LVDS100 from Texas Instruments, a
low-jitter clock can be generated to drive the clock inputs of
the ADS5422 differentially.
FIGURE 13. Differential Clock Driver Using an LVDS Translator.
MINIMUM SAMPLING RATE
The pipeline architecture of the ADS5422 uses a switched-
capacitor technique in its internal track-and-hold stages. With
each clock cycle, charges representing the captured signal
level are moved within the ADC pipeline core. The high
sampling speed necessitates the use of very small capacitor
values. In order to hold the droop errors low, the capacitors
require a minimum refresh rate. To maintain accuracy of the
acquired sample charge, the sampling clock on the ADS5422
should not drop below the specified minimum of 1MHz.
DATA OUTPUT FORMAT (BTC)
The ADS5422 makes two data output formats available, either
the Straight Offset Binary (SOB) code or the Binary Twos
Complement (BTC) code. The selection of the output coding
is controlled through the BTC pin. Applying a logic HIGH will
enable the BTC coding, while a logic LOW will enable the
Straight Offset Binary code. The BTC output format is widely
used to interface to microprocessors, for example. The two
code structures are identical, with the exception that the MSB
is inverted for the BTC format; see Table II.
If the input signal exceeds the full-scale range, the data
outputs will exhibit the respective full-scale code depending
on the selected coding format.

OUTPUT ENABLE (
OE
)
The digital outputs of the ADS5422 can be set to high
impedance (tri-state), exercising the output enable pin (
OE
).
For normal operation, this pin must be at a logic LOW
potential while a logic HIGH voltage disables the outputs.
Even though this function affects the output driver stage, the
threshold voltages for the
OE
pin do not depend on the
output driver supply (VDRV), but are fixed (see the Electrical
Characteristics Table and the Digital Inputs Sections). Oper-
ating the
OE
function dynamically (e.g., through high-speed
multiplexing) should be avoided as it will corrupt the conver-
sion process.
POWER-DOWN (PD)
A power-down pin is provided which, when taken HIGH,
shuts down portions within the ADS5422 and reduces the
power dissipation to less than 40mW. The remaining active
blocks include the internal reference ensuring a fast reactiva-
tion time. During power-down, data in the converter pipeline
is lost and new valid data will be subject to the specified
pipeline delay. If the PD pin is not used, it should be tied to
ground or a logic LOW level.
OUTPUT LOADING
It is recommended to keep the capacitive loading on the data
output lines as low as possible, preferably below 15pF.
Higher capacitive loading causes larger dynamic currents as
the digital outputs are changing. For example, with a typical
output slew rate of 0.8V/ns and a total capacitive loading of
10pF (including 4pF output capacitance, 5pF input capaci-
tance of external logic buffer, and 1pF PC board parasitics),
a bit transition can cause a dynamic current of (10pF 0.8V/
1ns = 8mA). These high current surges can feed back to the
analog portion of the ADS5422 and adversely affect the
performance. If necessary, external buffers or latches close
to the converter output pins may be used to minimize the
capacitive loading. They also provide the added benefit of
isolating the ADS5422 from any digital activities on the bus
coupling back high-frequency noise.
POWER SUPPLIES
When defining the power supplies for the ADS5422, it is highly
recommended to consider linear supplies instead of switching
types. Even with good filtering, switching supplies may radiate
noise that could interfere with any high-frequency input signal
and cause unwanted modulation products. At its full conver-
sion rate of 62MSPS, the ADS5422 typically requires 240mA
of supply current on the +5V supplies (+VS). Note that this
supply voltage should stay within a 5% tolerance.
POWER DISSIPATION
A majority of the ADS5422 total power consumption is used
for biasing, therefore, independent of the applied clock fre-
quency. Figure 14 shows the typical variation in power
consumption versus the clock speed. The current on the
VDRV supply is directly related to the capacitive loading of
the data output pins and care should be taken to minimize
such loading.

DIGITAL OUTPUT DRIVER SUPPLY (VDRV)
A dedicated supply pin, VDRV, provides power to the logic
output drivers of the ADS5422 and may be operated with a
supply voltage in the range of +3.0V to +5.0V. This can
simplify interfacing to various logic families, in particular low-
voltage CMOS. It is recommended to operate the ADS5422
with a +3.3V supply voltage on VDRV. This will lower the
power dissipation in the output stages due to the lower output
swing and reduce current glitches on the supply line that may
affect the AC performance of the converter. The analog
supply (+VSA) and digital supply (+VSD) may be tied together,
with a ferrite bead or inductor between the supply pins. Each
of the these supply pins must be bypassed separately with at
least one 0.1µF ceramic chip capacitor, forming a pi-filter, as
shown in Figure 15. The recommended operation for the
ADS5422 is +5V for the +VS pins and +3.3V on the output
driver pin (VDRV).
The configuration of the supplies requires that a specific
power-up sequence be followed for the ADS5422. Analog
voltage must be applied to the analog supply pin (+VSA)
before applying a voltage to the driver supply (VDRV) or
before bringing both the digital supply (+VSD) and VDRV
simultaneously. Powering up +VSD and VDRV prior to +VSA
will cause a large current on +VSA and result in the ADS5422
not functioning properly.

LAYOUT AND DECOUPLING
CONSIDERATIONS
Proper grounding and bypassing, short lead length, and the
use of ground planes are particularly important for high-
frequency designs. Achieving optimum performance with a
fast sampling converter like the ADS5422 requires careful
attention to the PC board layout to minimize the effect of
board parasitics and optimize component placement. A mul-
tilayer board usually ensures best results and allows conve-
nient component placement.
The ADS5422 should be treated as an analog component
and the +VSA pins connected to a clean analog supply. This
will ensure the most consistent results, since digital supplies
often carry a high level of switching noise which could couple
into the converter and degrade the performance. As men-
tioned previously, the driver supply pins (VDRV) should also
be connected to a low-noise supply. Supplies of adjacent
digital circuits may carry substantial current transients. The
supply voltage must be thoroughly filtered before connecting
to the VDRV supply of the converter. All ground connections
on the ADS5422 are internally bonded to the metal flag
(bottom of package) that forms a large ground plane. All
ground pins should directly connect to an analog ground
plane that covers the PC board area under the converter.
Due to its high sampling frequency, the ADS5422 generates
high-frequency current transients and noise (clock
feedthrough) that are fed back into the supply and reference
lines. If not sufficiently bypassed, this will add noise to the
conversion process. See Figure 15 for the recommended
supply decoupling scheme for the ADS5422. All +VS pins
should be bypassed with a combination of 10nF, 0.1µF
ceramic chip capacitors (0805, low ESR) and a 10µF tanta-
lum tank capacitor. A similar approach may be used on the
driver supply pins, VDRV. In order to minimize the lead and
trace inductance, the capacitors should be located as close
to the supply pins as possible. They are best placed directly
under the package where double-sided component mounting
is allowed. In addition, larger bipolar decoupling capacitors
(2.2µF to 10µF), effective at lower frequencies, should also be
used on the main supply pins. They can be placed on the PC
board in proximity (< 0.5") of the ADC.
If the analog inputs to the ADS5422 are driven differentially,
it is especially important to optimize towards a highly sym-
metrical layout. Small trace length differences may create
phase shifts compromising a good distortion performance.
For this reason, the use of two single op amps rather than
one dual amplifier enables a more symmetrical layout and a
better match of parasitic capacitances. The pin orientation of
the ADS5422 package follows a flow-through design with the
analog inputs located on one side of the package, whereas
the digital outputs are located on the opposite side of the
quad-flat package. This provides a good physical isolation
between the analog and digital connections. While designing
the layout, it is important to keep the analog signal traces
separated from any digital lines to prevent noise coupling
onto the analog portion.
Try to match trace length for the differential clock signal (if
used) to avoid mismatches in propagation delays. Single-
ended clock lines must be short and should not cross any
other signal traces.
Short-circuit traces on the digital outputs will minimize capaci-
tive loading. Trace length should be kept short to the receiving
gate (< 2") with only one CMOS gate connected to one digital
output. If possible, the digital data outputs should be buffered
(with the TI SN74AVC16244, for example). Dynamic perfor-
mance can also be improved with the insertion of series
resistors at each data output line. This sets a defined time
constant and reduces the slew rate that would otherwise flow
due to the fast edge rate. The resistor value can be chosen to
result in a time constant of 15% to 25% of the used data rate.
