where: ƒIN is input signal frequency

Particularly in undersampling applications, special consider-
ation should be given to clock jitter. The clock input should be
treated as an analog input in order to achieve the highest
level of performance. Any overshoot or undershoot of the
clock signal may cause degradation of the performance.
When digitizing at high sampling rates, the clock should have
50% duty cycle (tH = tL), along with fast rise and fall times of
2ns or less. The clock input of the ADS825 can be driven with
either 3V or 5V logic levels. Using low-voltage logic (3V) may
lead to improved AC performance of the converter.
Digital Outputs
The output data format of the ADS822 and ADS825 are in
positive Straight Offset Binary code, as shown in Tables I
and II. This format can easily be converted into the Binary
Two’s Complement code by inverting the MSB.
It is recommended to keep the capacitive loading on the data
lines as low as possible (≤ 15pF). Higher capacitive loading
will cause larger dynamic currents as the digital outputs are
changing. Those high current surges can feed back to the
analog portion of the ADS822 and ADS825 and affect the
performance. If necessary, external buffers or latches close
to the converter’s output pins may be used to minimize the
capacitive loading. They also provide the added benefit of
isolating the ADS822 and ADS825 from any digital noise
activities on the bus coupling back high frequency noise.

Digital Output Driver (VDRV)
The ADS822 features a dedicated supply pin for the output
logic drivers, VDRV, which are not internally connected to
the other supply pins. Setting the voltage at VDRV to +5V or
+3V, the ADS822 and ADS825 produce corresponding logic
levels and can directly interface to the selected logic family.
The output stages are designed to supply sufficient current
to drive a variety of logic families. However, it is recom-
mended to use the ADS822 and ADS825 with +3V logic
supply. This will lower the power dissipation in the output
stages due to the lower output swing and reduce current
glitches on the supply line which may affect the AC-perfor-
mance of the converter. In some applications, it might be
advantageous to decouple the VDRV pin with additional
capacitors or a pi filter.
GROUNDING AND DECOUPLING
Proper grounding and bypassing, short lead length, and the
use of ground planes are particularly important for high-
frequency designs. Multilayer PC boards are recommended
for best performance since they offer distinct advantages like
minimizing ground impedance, separation of signal layers by
ground layers, etc. The ADS822 and ADS825 should be
treated as analog components. Whenever possible, the
supply pins should be powered by the analog supply. This
will ensure the most consistent results, since digital supply
lines often carry high levels of noise which otherwise would
be coupled into the converter and degrade the achievable
performance. All ground connections on the ADS822 and
ADS825 are internally joined together obviating the design of
split ground planes. The ground pins (1, 16, 26) should
directly connect to an analog ground plane which covers the
PC board area around the converter. 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 signal path. Due to their high sampling rates,
the ADS822 and ADS825 generate high frequency current
transients, and noise (clock feedthrough) that are fed back
into the supply and reference lines. This requires that all
supply and reference pins are sufficiently bypassed.
Figure 9 shows the recommended decoupling scheme for
the ADS822 and ADS825. In most cases, 0.1µF ceramic
chip capacitors at each pin are adequate to keep the imped-
ance low over a wide frequency range. Their effectiveness
largely depends on the proximity to the individual supply pin.
Therefore, they should be located as close to the supply pins
as possible. In addition, a larger bipolar capacitor (1µF to
22µF) should be placed on the PC board in proximity of the
converter circuit.
