This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments 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 specifications.

commonly used functions. The parallel pins are DFS (analog 4-level control pin) and OE (digital control pin). The
analog control pins can be easily configured using a simple resistor divider (with 10% tolerance resistors).

When the serial interface is not used, the SDATA pin can also be used as a digital control pin to place the device
in standby mode. To enable this, the RESET pin must be tied high. In this mode, SEN and SCLK do not have
any alternative functions. Keep SEN tied high and SCLK tied low on the board.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has a set of internal registers that can be accessed by the serial interface
formed by the SEN (serial interface enable), SCLK (serial interface clock), and SDATA (serial interface data)
pins. Serial shift of bits into the device is enabled when SEN is low. Serial data SDATA are latched at every
falling edge of SCLK when SEN is active (low). The serial data are loaded into the register at every 16th SCLK
falling edge when SEN is low. If the word length exceeds a multiple of 16 bits, the excess bits are ignored. Data
can be loaded in multiples of 16-bit words within a single active SEN pulse. The first eight bits form the register
address and the remaining eight bits are the register data. The interface can work with SCLK frequency from
20MHz down to very low speeds (a few hertz) and also with non-50% SCLK duty cycle.
Register Initialization
After power-up, the internal registers must be initialized to the default values. This initialization can be
accomplished in one of two ways:
1. Either through hardware reset by applying a high pulse on RESET pin (of width greater than 10ns), as shown
in Figure 12; or
2. By applying a software reset. When using the serial interface, set the RESET bit (D7 in register 00h) high.
This setting initializes the internal registers to the default values and then self-resets the RESET bit low. In
this case, the RESET pin is kept low.

Serial Register Readout
The serial register readout function allows the contents of the internal registers to be read back on the
OVR_SDOUT pin. This readback may be useful as a diagnostic check to verify the serial interface
communication between the external controller and the ADC.
After power-up and device reset, the OVR_SDOUT pin functions as an over-range indicator pin by default. When
the readout mode is enabled, OVR_SDOUT outputs the contents of the selected register serially:
1. Set the READOUT register bit to '1'. This setting puts the device in serial readout mode and disables any
further writes to the internal registers except the register at address 0. Note that the READOUT bit itself is
also located in register 0. The device can exit readout mode by writing READOUT = 0. Only the contents of
the register at address 0 cannot be read in the register readout mode.
2. Initiate a serial interface cycle specifying the address of the register (A7 to A0) whose content has to be
read.
3. The device serially outputs the contents (D7 to D0) of the selected register on the OVR_SDOUT pin.
4. The external controller can latch the contents at the falling edge of SCLK.
5. To exit the serial readout mode, the reset register bit READOUT = 0 enables writes into all registers of the
device. At this point, the OVR_SDOUT pin becomes an over-range indicator pin.
(1) The OVR_SDOUT pin finctions as OVR (READOUT = 0).
(2) The OVR_SDOUT pin finctions as a serial readout (READOUT = 1).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS412x/4x are lower sampling speed members of the ADS41xx family of ultralow power analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs). The conversion process is initiated by a rising edge of the external input clock and the analog
input signal is sampled. The sampled signal is sequentially converted by a series of small resolution stages, with
the outputs combined in a digital correction logic block. At every clock edge the sample propagates through the
pipeline, resulting in a data latency of 10 clock cycles. The output is available as 14-bit data or 12-bit data, in
DDR LVDS mode or CMOS mode, and coded in either straight offset binary or binary twos complement format.
ANALOG INPUT
The analog input consists of a switched-capacitor-based, differential, sample-and-hold architecture. This
differential topology results in very good ac performance even for high input frequencies at high sampling rates.
The INP and INM pins must be externally biased around a common-mode voltage of 0.95V, available on the
VCM pin. For a full-scale differential input, each input INP and INM pin must swing symmetrically between (VCM
+ 0.5V) and (VCM 0.5V), resulting in a 2VPP differential input swing. The input sampling circuit has a high 3dB
bandwidth that extends up to 550MHz (measured from the input pins to the sampled voltage). Figure 101 shows
an equivalent circuit for the analog input.
Figure 101. Analog Input Equivalent Circuit
Drive Circuit Requirements
For optimum performance, the analog inputs must be driven differentially. This technique improves the
common-mode noise immunity and even-order harmonic rejection. A 5Ωto 15Ωresistor in series with each input
pin is recommended to damp out ringing caused by package parasitics. It is also necessary to present low
impedance (less than 50Ω) for the common-mode switching currents. This impedance can be achieved by using
two resistors from each input terminated to the common-mode voltage (VCM).
Note that the device includes an internal R-C filter from each input to ground. The purpose of this filter is to
absorb the glitches caused by the opening and closing of the sampling capacitors. The cutoff frequency of the
R-C filter involves a trade-off. A lower cutoff frequency (larger C) absorbs glitches better, but also reduces the
input bandwidth and the maximum input frequency that can be supported. On the other hand, with no internal
R-C filter, high input frequency can be supported but now the sampling glitches must be supplied by the external
driving circuit. The inductance of the package bond wires limits the ability of the external driving circuit to support
the sampling glitches.

SBAS520A FEBRUARY 2011REVISED MARCH 2011
In the ADS412x/4x, the R-C component values have been optimized while supporting high input bandwidth
(550MHz). However, in applications where very high input frequency support is not required, filtering of the
glitches can be improved further with an external R-C-R filter; see Figure 104 and Figure 105).
In addition, the drive circuit may have to be designed to provide a low insertion loss over the desired frequency
range and matched impedance to the source. While designing the drive circuit, the ADC impedance must be
considered. Figure 102 and Figure 103 show the impedance (ZIN = RIN || CIN) looking into the ADC input pins.

Driving Circuit
Two example driving circuit configurations are shown in Figure 104 and Figure 105one optimized for low
bandwidth (tlow input frequencies) and the other one for high bandwidth to support higher input frequencies. In
Figure 104, an external R-C-R filter with 3.3pF is used to help absorb sampling glitches. The R-C-R filter limits
the bandwidth of the drive circuit, making it suitable for low input frequencies (up to 250MHz). Transformers such
as ADT1-1WT or WBC1-1 can be used up to 250MHz.
For higher input frequencies, the R-C-R filter can be dropped. Together with the lower series resistors (5Ωto
10Ω), this drive circuit provides higher bandwidth to support frequencies up to 500MHz (as shown in Figure 105).
A transmission line transformer such as ADTL2-18 can be used.
Note that both the drive circuits have been terminated by 50Ωnear the ADC side. The termination is
accomplished by a 25Ωresistor from each input to the 0.95V common-mode (VCM) from the device. This
termination allows the analog inputs to be biased around the required common-mode voltage.

SBAS520A FEBRUARY 2011REVISED MARCH 2011
The mismatch in the transformer parasitic capacitance (between the windings) results in degraded even-order
harmonic performance. Connecting two identical RF transformers back-to-back helps minimize this mismatch and
good performance is obtained for high-frequency input signals. An additional termination resistor pair may be
required between the two transformers, as shown in Figure 104 and Figure 105. The center point of this
termination is connected to ground to improve the balance between the P (positive) and M (negative) sides. The
values of the terminations between the transformers and on the secondary side must be chosen to obtain an
effective 50Ω(for a 50Ωsource impedance).
Figure 104 and Figure 105 use 1:1 transformers with a 50Ωsource. As explained in the Drive Circuit
Requirements section, this architecture helps to present a low source impedance to absorb sampling glitches.
With a 1:4 transformer, the source impedance is 200Ω. The higher source impedance is unable to absorb the
sampling glitches effectively and can lead to degradation in performance (compared to using 1:1 transformers).
In almost all cases, either a bandpass or low-pass filter is needed to obtain the desired dynamic performance, as
shown in Figure 106. Such a filter presents low source impedance at the high frequencies corresponding to the
sampling glitch and helps avoid the performance loss with the high source impedance.
Figure 106. Drive Circuit with 1:4 Transformer
Input Common-Mode
To ensure a low-noise, common-mode reference, the VCM pin is filtered with a 0.1µF low-inductance capacitor
connected to ground. The VCM pin is designed to directly drive the ADC inputs. Each ADC input pin sinks a
common-mode current of approximately 0.6µA per MSPS of clock frequency.

CLOCK INPUT
The ADS412x/4x clock inputs can be driven differentially (sine, LVPECL, or LVDS) or single-ended (LVCMOS),
with little or no difference in performance between them. The common-mode voltage of the clock inputs is set to
VCM using internal 5kΩresistors. This setting allows the use of transformer-coupled drive circuits for sine-wave
clock or ac-coupling for LVPECL and LVDS clock sources. Figure 107 shows an equivalent circuit for the input
clock.
NOTE: CEQ is 1pF to 3pF and is the equivalent input capacitance of the clock buffer.
Figure 107. Input Clock Equivalent Circuit
A single-ended CMOS clock can be ac-coupled to the CLKP input, with CLKM connected to ground with a 0.1μF
capacitor, as shown in Figure 108. For best performance, the clock inputs must be driven differentially, reducing
susceptibility to common-mode noise. For high input frequency sampling, it is recommended to use a clock
source with very low jitter. Band-pass filtering of the clock source can help reduce the effects of jitter. There is no
change in performance with a non-50% duty cycle clock input. Figure 109 shows a differential circuit.

DIGITAL FUNCTIONS AND LOW LATENCY MODE
The device has several useful digital functions such as test patterns, gain, and offset correction. All of these
functions require extra clock cycles for operation and increase the overall latency and power of the device.
Alternately, the device has a low-latency mode in which the raw ADC output is routed to the output data pins with
a latency of 10 clock cycles. In this mode, the digital functions are bypassed. Figure 110 shows more details of
the processing after the ADC.
The device is in low-latency mode after reset. In order to use any of the digital functions, the low-latency mode
must first be disabled by setting the DIS LOW LATENCY register bit to '1'. After this, the respective register bits
must be programmed as described in the following sections and in the Serial Register Map section.
Figure 110. Digital Processing Block Diagram
GAIN FOR SFDR/SNR TRADE-OFF
The ADS412x/4x include gain settings that can be used to improve SFDR performance. The gain is
programmable from 0dB to 6dB (in 0.5dB steps) using the GAIN register bits. For each gain setting, the analog
input full-scale range scales proportionally, as shown in Table 9.
The SFDR improvement is achieved at the expense of SNR; for each gain setting, the SNR degrades
approximately between 0.5dB and 1dB. The SNR degradation is reduced at high input frequencies. As a result,
the gain is very useful at high input frequencies because the SFDR improvement is significant with marginal
degradation in SNR. Therefore, the gain can be used to trade-off between SFDR and SNR.
After a reset, the device is in low-latency mode and gain function is disabled. To use gain:
First, disable the low-latency mode (DIS LOW LATENCY = 1).
This setting enables the gain and puts the device in a 0dB gain mode.
For other gain settings, program the GAIN bits.

OFFSET CORRECTION
The ADS412x/4x has an internal offset corretion algorithm that estimates and corrects dc offset up to ±10mV.
The correction can be enabled using the EN OFFSET CORR serial register bit. Once enabled, the algorithm
estimates the channel offset and applies the correction every clock cycle. The time constant of the correction
loop is a function of the sampling clock frequency. The time constant can be controlled using the OFFSET CORR
TIME CONSTANT register bits, as described in Table 10.

After the offset is estimated, the correction can be frozen by setting FREEZE OFFSET CORR = 1. Once frozen,
the last estimated value is used for the offset correction of every clock cycle. Note that offset correction is
disabled by a default after reset.
After a reset, the device is in low-latency mode and offset correction is disabled. To use offset correction:
First, disable the low-latency mode (DIS LOW LATENCY = 1).
Then set EN OFFSET CORR to '1' and program the required time constant.

POWER DOWN
The ADS412x/4x has three power-down modes: power-down global, standby, and output buffer disable.
Power-Down Global
In this mode, the entire chip (including the ADC, internal reference, and the output buffers) are powered down,
resulting in reduced total power dissipation of about 10mW. The output buffers are in a high-impedance state.
The wake-up time from the global power-down to data becoming valid in normal mode is typically 100µs. To
enter the global power-down mode, set the PDN GLOBAL register bit.
Standby
In this mode, only the ADC is powered down and the internal references are active, resulting in a fast wake-up
time of 5µs. The total power dissipation in standby mode is approximately 130mW at 125MSPS. To enter the
standby mode, set the STBY register bit.
Output Buffer Disable
The output buffers can be disabled and put in a high-impedance state; wakeup time from this mode is fast,
approximately 100ns. This can be controlled using the PDN OBUF register bit or using the OE pin.
Input Clock Stop
In addition, the converter enters a low-power mode when the input clock frequency falls below 1MSPS. The
power dissipation is approximately 80mW.
POWER-SUPPLY SEQUENCE
During power-up, the AVDD and DRVDD supplies can come up in any sequence. The two supplies are
separated in the device. Externally, they can be driven from separate supplies or from a single supply.

DIGITAL OUTPUT INFORMATION
The ADS412x/4x provide either 14-bit data or 12-bit data, respectively, and an output clock synchronized with the
data.
Output Interface
Two output interface options are available: double data rate (DDR) LVDS and parallel CMOS. They can be
selected using the LVDS CMOS serial interface register bit or using the DFS pin.
DDR LVDS Outputs
In this mode, the data bits and clock are output using low voltage differential signal (LVDS) levels. Two data bits
are multiplexed and output on each LVDS differential pair, as shown in Figure 112 and Figure 113.

LVDS Output Data and Clock Buffers
The equivalent circuit of each LVDS output buffer is shown in Figure 115. After reset, the buffer presents an
output impedance of 100Ωto match with the external 100Ωtermination.
The VDIFF voltage is nominally 350mV, resulting in an output swing of ±350mV with 100Ωexternal termination.
The VDIFF voltage is programmable using the LVDS SWING register bits from ±125mV to ±570mV.
Additionally, a mode exists to double the strength of the LVDS buffer to support 50Ωdifferential termination. This
mode can be used when the output LVDS signal is routed to two separate receiver chips, each using a 100Ω
termination. The mode can be enabled using the LVDS DATA STRENGTH and LVDS CLKOUT STRENGTH
register bits for data and output clock buffers, respectively.
The buffer output impedance behaves in the same way as a source-side series termination. By absorbing
reflections from the receiver end, it helps to improve signal integrity.
NOTE: Use the default buffer strength to match 100Ωexternal termination (ROUT = 100Ω). To match with a 50Ωexternal termination, set the
LVDS STRENGTH bit (ROUT = 50Ω).

Parallel CMOS Interface
In CMOS mode, each data bit is output on a separate pin as the CMOS voltage level, for every clock cycle. The
rising edge of the output clock CLKOUT can be used to latch data in the receiver. Figure 116 depicts the CMOS
output interface.
Switching noise (caused by CMOS output data transitions) can couple into the analog inputs and degrade SNR.
The coupling and SNR degradation increases as the output buffer drive is made stronger. To minimize this
degradation, the CMOS output buffers are designed with controlled drive strength. The default drive strength
ensures a wide data stable window. It is recommended to use short traces (one to two inches or 2,54cm to
5,08cm) terminated with less than 5pF load capacitance, as shown in Figure 117.

Figure 117. Using the CMOS Data Outputs
CMOS Interface Power Dissipation
With CMOS outputs, the DRVDD current scales with the sampling frequency and the load capacitance on every
output pin. The maximum DRVDD current occurs when each output bit toggles between '0' and '1' every clock
cycle. In actual applications, this condition is unlikely to occur. The actual DRVDD current would be determined
by the average number of output bits switching, which is a function of the sampling frequency and the nature of
the analog input signal.
Digital Current as a Result of CMOS Output Switching = CL×DRVDD ×(N ×fAVG)
where:
CL= load capacitance,
N×FAVG = average number of output bits switching. (1)
Figure 94 details the current across sampling frequencies at 2 MHz analog input frequency.

Input Over-Voltage Indication (OVR Pin)
The device has an OVR pin that provides information about analog input overload. At any clock cycle, if the
sampled input voltage exceeds the positive or negative full-scale range, the OVR pin goes high. The OVR
remains high as long as the overload condition persists. The OVR pin is a CMOS output buffer (running off
DRVDD supply), independent of the type of output data interface (DDR LVDS or CMOS).
For a positive overload, the D[13:0] output data bits are 3FFFh in offset binary output format and 1FFFh in twos
complement output format. For a negative input overload, the output code is 0000h in offset binary output format
and 2000h in twos complement output format.
Output Data Format
Two output data formats are supported: twos complement and offset binary. Each mode can be selected using
the DATA FORMAT serial interface register bit or controlling the DFS pin in parallel configuration mode. In the
event of an input voltage overdrive, the digital outputs go to the appropriate full-scale level.
BOARD DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Grounding
A single ground plane is sufficient to give good performance, provided the analog, digital, and clock sections of
the board are cleanly partitioned. See the ADS414x, ADS412x EVM User Guide (SLWU067) for details on layout
and grounding.
Supply Decoupling
Because the ADS412x/4x already include internal decoupling, minimal external decoupling can be used without
loss in performance. Note that decoupling capacitors can help filter external power-supply noise, so the optimum
number of capacitors depends on the actual application. The decoupling capacitors should be placed very close
to the converter supply pins.
Exposed Pad
In addition to providing a path for heat dissipation, the PowerPAD is also electrically internally connected to the
digital ground. Therefore, it is necessary to solder the exposed pad to the ground plane for best thermal and
electrical performance. For detailed information, see application notes QFN Layout Guidelines (SLOA122) and
QFN/SON PCB Attachment (SLUA271), both available for download at the TI web site (www.ti.com).

DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
Analog Bandwidth The analog input frequency at which the power of the fundamental is reduced by 3 dB with
respect to the low-frequency value.
Aperture Delay The delay in time between the rising edge of the input sampling clock and the actual time at
which the sampling occurs. This delay is different across channels. The maximum variation is specified as
aperture delay variation (channel-to-channel).
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter) The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Clock Pulse Width/Duty Cycle The duty cycle of a clock signal is the ratio of the time the clock signal remains
at a logic high (clock pulse width) to the period of the clock signal. Duty cycle is typically expressed as a
percentage. A perfect differential sine-wave clock results in a 50% duty cycle.
Maximum Conversion Rate The maximum sampling rate at which specified operation is given. All parametric
testing is performed at this sampling rate unless otherwise noted.
Minimum Conversion Rate The minimum sampling rate at which the ADC functions.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions at analog input values spaced exactly
1 LSB apart. The DNL is the deviation of any single step from this ideal value, measured in units of LSBs.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL) The INL is the deviation of the ADC transfer function from a best fit line determined
by a least squares curve fit of that transfer function, measured in units of LSBs.
Gain Error Gain error is the deviation of the ADC actual input full-scale range from its ideal value. The gain
error is given as a percentage of the ideal input full-scale range. Gain error has two components: error as a
result of reference inaccuracy and error as a result of the channel. Both errors are specified independently as
EGREF and EGCHAN.
To a first-order approximation, the total gain error is ETOTAL ~ EGREF + EGCHAN.
For example, if ETOTAL =±0.5%, the full-scale input varies from (1 0.5/100) x FSideal to (1 + 0.5/100) x FSideal.
Offset Error The offset error is the difference, given in number of LSBs, between the ADC actual average idle
channel output code and the ideal average idle channel output code. This quantity is often mapped into millivolts.
Temperature Drift The temperature drift coefficient (with respect to gain error and offset error) specifies the
change per degree Celsius of the parameter from TMIN to TMAX. It is calculated by dividing the maximum deviation
of the parameter across the TMIN to TMAX range by the difference TMAX TMIN.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio SNR is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the noise floor power (PN),
excluding the power at dc and the first nine harmonics.
(2)
SNR is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the
reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter
full-scale range.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD) SINAD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the power
of all the other spectral components including noise (PN) and distortion (PD), but excluding dc.
(3)
SINAD is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the
reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter
full-scale range.

Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) ENOB is a measure of the converter performance as compared to the
theoretical limit based on quantization noise.
(4)
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the power of the
first nine harmonics (PD).
(5)
THD is typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier).
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) The ratio of the power of the fundamental to the highest other
spectral component (either spur or harmonic). SFDR is typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier).
Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion IMD3 is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (at frequencies f1
and f2) to the power of the worst spectral component at either frequency 2f1f2or 2f2f1. IMD3 is either given
in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the reference, or dBFS (dB
to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter full-scale range.
DC Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (DC PSRR) DC PSSR is the ratio of the change in offset error to a change
in analog supply voltage. The dc PSRR is typically given in units of mV/V.
AC Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (AC PSRR) AC PSRR is the measure of rejection of variations in the
supply voltage by the ADC. If ΔVSUP is the change in supply voltage and ΔVOUT is the resultant change of the
ADC output code (referred to the input), then:
(6)
Voltage Overload Recovery The number of clock cycles taken to recover to less than 1% error after an
overload on the analog inputs. This is tested by separately applying a sine wave signal with 6dB positive and
negative overload. The deviation of the first few samples after the overload (from the expected values) is noted.
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) CMRR is the measure of rejection of variation in the analog input
common-mode by the ADC. If ΔVCM_IN is the change in the common-mode voltage of the input pins and ΔVOUT is
the resulting change of the ADC output code (referred to the input), then:
(7)
Crosstalk (only for multi-channel ADCs) This is a measure of the internal coupling of a signal from an
adjacent channel into the channel of interest. It is specified separately for coupling from the immediate
neighboring channel (near-channel) and for coupling from channel across the package (far-channel). It is usually
measured by applying a full-scale signal in the adjacent channel. Crosstalk is the ratio of the power of the
coupling signal (as measured at the output of the channel of interest) to the power of the signal applied at the
adjacent channel input. It is typically expressed in dBc.
