1.3 Description  
The 12-bit 1.6/1.0 GSPS ADC12D800/500RF is an RF-sampling GSPS ADC that can directly sample input  
frequencies up to and above 2.7 GHz. The ADC12D800/500RF augments the very large Nyquist zone of  
TI’s GSPS ADCs with excellent noise and linearity performance at RF frequencies, extending its usable  
range beyond the 7th Nyquist zone  
The ADC12D800/500RF provides a flexible LVDS interface which has multiple SPI programmable options  
to facilitate board design and FPGA/ASIC data capture. The LVDS outputs are compatible with IEEE  
1596.3-1996 and supports programmable common mode voltage. The product is packaged in a lead-free  
292-ball thermally enhanced BGA package over the rated industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Description  
Differential signal I- and Q-inputs. In the Non-Dual  
Edge Sampling (Non-DES) Mode, each I- and Q-  
input is sampled and converted by its respective  
channel with each positive transition of the CLK  
input. In Non-ECM (Non-Extended Control Mode)  
and DES Mode, both channels sample the I-input.  
In Extended Control Mode (ECM), the Q-input  
may optionally be selected for conversion in DES  
Mode by the DEQ Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 6).  
V
A
50k  
Each I- and Q-channel input has an internal  
common mode bias that is disabled when DC-  
coupled Mode is selected. Both inputs must be  
either AC- or DC-coupled. The coupling mode is  
selected by the VCMO Pin.

In Non-ECM, the full-scale range of these inputs is  
determined by the FSR Pin; both I- and Q-  
channels have the same full-scale input range. In  
ECM, the full-scale input range of the I- and Q-  
channel inputs may be independently set via the  
Control Register (Addr: 3h and Addr: Bh). Note  
that the high and low full-scale input range setting  
in Non-ECM corresponds to the mid and minimum  
full-scale input range in ECM.

Differential Converter Sampling Clock. In the Non-  
DES Mode, the analog inputs are sampled on the

Differential DCLK Reset. A positive pulse on this  
input is used to reset the DCLKI and DCLKQ  
outputs of two or more ADC12D800/500RFs in  
order to synchronize them with other  
ADC12D800/500RFs in the system. DCLKI and  
DCLKQ are always in phase with each other,  
unless one channel is powered down, and do not  
require a pulse from DCLK_RST to become  
synchronized. The pulse applied here must meet  
timing relationships with respect to the CLK input.

Common Mode Voltage Output or Signal Coupling  
Select. If AC-coupled operation at the analog  
inputs is desired, this pin should be held at logic-  
low level. This pin is capable of sourcing/ sinking  
up to 100 µA. For DC-coupled operation, this pin  
should be left floating or terminated into high-  
impedance. In DC-coupled Mode, this pin provides  
an output voltage which is the optimal common-

Calibration cycle initiate. The user can command  
the device to execute a self-calibration cycle by  
holding this input high a minimum of tCAL_H after  
having held it low a minimum of tCAL_L. If this input  
is held high at the time of power-on, the automatic  
power-on calibration cycle is inhibited until this  
input is cycled low-then-high. This pin is active in  
both ECM and Non-ECM. In ECM, this pin is  
logically OR'd with the CAL Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 15)  
in the Control Register. Therefore, both pin and bit  
must be set low and then either can be set high to  
execute an on-command calibration.

Power Down I- and Q-channel. Setting either input  
to logic-high powers down the respective I- or Q-

respective I- or Q-channel to a operational state  
after a finite time delay. This pin is active in both  
ECM and Non-ECM. In ECM, each Pin is logically  
OR'd with its respective Bit. Therefore, either this  
pin or the PDI and PDQ Bit in the Control Register  
can be used to power-down the I- and Q-channel

channel inputs is independently determined by the  
setting of Addr: 3h and Addr: Bh, respectively.  
Note that the high (lower) FSR value in Non-ECM

outputs represent the earlier time samples. If  
used, each of these outputs should always be  
terminated with a 100Ω differential resistor placed  
as closely as possible to the differential receiver.

(1) Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. There is no specification of operation at the  
Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not ensure specific  
performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The ensured specifications apply  
only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test  
conditions.  
(2) All voltages are measured with respect to GND = GNDTC = GNDDR = GNDE = 0V, unless otherwise specified.  
(3) When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply limits, i.e. less than GND or greater than VA, the current at that pin should  
be limited to 50 mA. In addition, over-voltage at a pin must adhere to the maximum voltage limits. Simultaneous over-voltage at multiple  
pins requires adherence to the maximum package power dissipation limits. These dissipation limits are calculated using JEDEC  
JESD51-7 thermal model. Higher dissipation may be possible based on specific customer thermal situation and specified package  
thermal resistances from junction to case.  
(4) Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kresistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through 0.  
Charged device model simulates a pin slowly acquiring charge (such as from a device sliding down the feeder in an automated  
assembler) then rapidly being discharged.

(2) To ensure accuracy, it is required that VA, VTC, VE and VDR be well-bypassed. Each supply pin must be decoupled with separate bypass  
capacitors.  
(3) Typical figures are at TA = 25°C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are specified to TI's AOQL (Average Outgoing  
Quality Level).  
(4) Calculation of Full-Scale Error for this device assumes that the actual reference voltage is exactly its nominal value. Full-Scale Error for  
this device, therefore, is a combination of Full-Scale Error and Reference Voltage Error. See Figure 4-2. For relationship between Gain  
Error and Full-Scale Error, see Specification Definitions for Gain Error.  
(5) This parameter is ensured by design and is not tested in production.

(1) This parameter is ensured by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.  
(2) The -3dB point is the traditional Full-Power Bandwidth (FPBW) specification. Although the insertion loss is approximately half at this  
frequency, the dynamic performance of the ADC does not necessarily begin to degrade to a level below which it may be effectively used  
in an application. The ADC may be used at input frequencies above the -3dB FPBW point, for example, into the 5th and 6th Nyquist  
zones. Depending on system requirements, it is only necessary to compensate for the insertion loss.

Specification Definitions  
APERTURE (SAMPLING) DELAY is the amount of delay, measured from the sampling edge of the CLK  
input, after which the signal present at the input pin is sampled inside the device.  
APERTURE JITTER (tAJ) is the variation in aperture delay from sample-to-sample. Aperture jitter can be  
effectively considered as noise at the input.  
CODE ERROR RATE (CER) is the probability of error and is defined as the probable number of word  
errors on the ADC output per unit of time divided by the number of words seen in that amount of time. A  
CER of 10-18 corresponds to a statistical error in one word about every 31.7 years for the ADC12D800RF.  
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that the clock waveform is at a logic high to the total time of  
one clock period.  
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step  
size of 1 LSB. It is measured at the relevant sample rate, fCLK, with fIN = 1MHz sine wave.  
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-  
Noise and Distortion Ratio, or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD 1.76) / 6.02 and states that the  
converter is equivalent to a perfect ADC of this many (ENOB) number of bits.  
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the transfer function. It can be calculated from Offset  
and Full-Scale Errors. The Positive Gain Error is the Offset Error minus the Positive Full-Scale Error. The  
Negative Gain Error is the Negative Full-Scale Error minus the Offset Error. The Gain Error is the  
Negative Full-Scale Error minus the Positive Full-Scale Error; it is also equal to the Positive Gain Error  
plus the Negative Gain Error.  
GAIN FLATNESS is a measure of the variation in gain over the specified bandwidth. For example, for the  
ADC12D800RF, from D.C. to Fs/2 is to 400 MHz for the Non-DES Mode and from D.C to Fs/2 is to 800  
MHz for the DES Mode.  
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of worst case deviation of the ADC transfer function  
from an ideal straight line drawn through the ADC transfer function. The deviation of any given code from  
this straight line is measured from the center of that code value step. The best fit method is used.  
INSERTION LOSS is the loss in power of a signal due to the insertion of a device, e.g. the  
ADC12D800/500RF, expressed in dB.  
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is measure of the near-in 3rd order distortion products (2f2 - f1,  
2f1 - f2) which occur when two tones which are close in frequency (f1, f2) are applied to the ADC input. It is  
measured from the input tones power of the higher of the two distortion products (dBFS). The input tones  
are typically -7dBFS.  
LSB (LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the smallest value or weight of all bits. This value is  
VFS / 2N  
where VFS is the differential full-scale amplitude VIN_FSR as set by the FSR input and "N" is the ADC  
resolution in bits, which is 10 for the ADC12D800/500RF.  
LOW VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL SIGNALING (LVDS) DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE (VID and  
VOD) is two times the absolute value of the difference between the VD+ and VD- signals; each signal  
measured with respect to Ground. VOD peak is VOD,P= (VD+ - VD-) and VOD peak-to-peak is VOD,P-P  
=
2*(VD+ - VD-); for this product, the VOD is measured peak-to-peak.

LVDS OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE (VOS) is the midpoint between the D+ and D- pins output voltage  
with respect to ground; i.e., [(VD+) +( VD-)]/2. See Figure 4-1.  
MISSING CODES are those output codes that are skipped and will never appear at the ADC outputs.  
These codes cannot be reached with any input value.  
MSB (MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the largest value or weight. Its value is one half of full  
scale.  
NEGATIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (NFSE) is a measure of how far the first code transition is from the  
ideal 1/2 LSB above a differential VIN/2 with the FSR pin low. For the ADC12D800/500RF the reference  
voltage is assumed to be ideal, so this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference voltage  
error.  
NOISE FLOOR DENSITY is a measure of the power density of the noise floor, espressed in dBFS/Hz and  
dBm/Hz. '0 dBFS' is defined as the power of a sinusoid which precisely uses the full-scale range of the  
ADC.  
NOISE POWER RATIO (NPR) is the ratio of the sum of the power inside the notched bins to the sum of  
the power in an equal number of bins outside the notch, expressed in dB.  
OFFSET ERROR (VOFF) is a measure of how far the mid-scale point is from the ideal zero voltage  
differential input.  
Offset Error = Actual Input causing average of 8k samples to result in an average code of 2047.5.  
OUTPUT DELAY (tOD) is the time delay (in addition to Latency) after the rising edge of CLK+ before the  
data update is present at the output pins.  
OVER-RANGE RECOVERY TIME is the time required after the differential input voltages goes from ±1.2V  
to 0V for the converter to recover and make a conversion with its rated accuracy.  
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) is the number of input clock cycles between initiation of conversion and  
when that data is presented to the output driver stage. The data lags the conversion by the Latency plus  
the tOD  
.
POSITIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR (PFSE) is a measure of how far the last code transition is from the ideal  
1-1/2 LSB below a differential +VIN/2. For the ADC12D800/500RF the reference voltage is assumed to be  
ideal, so this error is a combination of full-scale error and reference voltage error.  
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the fundamental for a  
single-tone to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components below one-half the sampling  
frequency, not including harmonics or DC.  
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/(N+D) or SINAD) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms  
value of the fundamental for a single-tone to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below  
half the input clock frequency, including harmonics but excluding DC.  
SPURIOUS-FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the rms values  
of the input signal at the output and the peak spurious signal, where a spurious signal is any signal  
present in the output spectrum that is not present at the input, excluding DC.

θJA is the thermal resistance between the junction to ambient.  
θJC1 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the exposed metal area on the top of the  
HSBGA package.  
θJC2 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the center group of balls on the bottom of the  
HSBGA package.  
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio expressed in dB, of the rms total of the first nine  
harmonic levels at the output to the level of the fundamental at the output. THD is calculated as

where Af1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output) frequency and Af2 through Af10 are the RMS  
power of the first 9 harmonic frequencies in the output spectrum.  
Second Harmonic Distortion (2nd Harm) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the RMS  
power in the input frequency seen at the output and the power in its 2nd harmonic level at the output.  
Third Harmonic Distortion (3rd Harm) is the difference expressed in dB between the RMS power in  
the input frequency seen at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic level at the output.

Functional Description  
The ADC12D800/500RF is a versatile A/D converter with an innovative architecture which permits very  
high speed operation. The controls available ease the application of the device to circuit solutions.  
Optimum performance requires adherence to the provisions discussed here and in the Applications  
Information Section. This section covers an overview, a description of control modes (Extended Control  
Mode and Non-Extended Control Mode), and features.  
6.1 Overview  
The ADC12D800/500RF uses a calibrated folding and interpolating architecture that achieves a high  
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB). The use of folding amplifiers greatly reduces the number of comparators  
and power consumption. Interpolation reduces the number of front-end amplifiers required, minimizing the  
load on the input signal and further reducing power requirements. In addition to correcting other non-  
idealities, on-chip calibration reduces the INL bow often seen with folding architectures. The result is an  
extremely fast, high performance, low power converter.  
The analog input signal (which is within the converter's input voltage range) is digitized to twelve bits at  
speeds of 200/200 MSPS to 1.6/1.0 GSPS, typical. Differential input voltages below negative full-scale will  
cause the output word to consist of all zeroes. Differential input voltages above positive full-scale will  
cause the output word to consist of all ones. Either of these conditions at the I- or Q-input will cause the  
Out-of-Range I-channel or Q-channel output (ORI or ORQ), respectively, to output a logic-high signal.  
In ECM, an expanded feature set is available via the Serial Interface. The ADC12D800/500RF builds upon  
previous architectures, introducing a new DES Mode timing adjust feature, AutoSync feature for multi-chip  
synchronization and increasing to 15-bit for gain and 12-bit plus sign for offset the independent  
programmable adjustment for each channel.  
Each channel has a selectable output demultiplexer which feeds two LVDS buses. If the 1:2 Demux Mode  
is selected, the output data rate is reduced to half the input sample rate on each bus. When Non-Demux  
Mode is selected, the output data rate on each channel is at the same rate as the input sample clock and  
only one 12-bit bus per channel is active.  
6.2 Control modes  
The ADC12D800/500RF may be operated in one of two control modes: Non-extended Control Mode (Non-  
ECM) or Extended Control Mode (ECM). In the simpler Non-ECM (also sometimes referred to as Pin  
Control Mode), the user affects available configuration and control of the device through the control pins.  
The ECM provides additional configuration and control options through a serial interface and a set of 16  
registers, most of which are available to the customer.  
6.2.1 Non-Extended Control Mode  
In Non-extended Control Mode (Non-ECM), the Serial Interface is not active and all available functions are  
controlled via various pin settings. Non-ECM is selected by setting the ECE Pin to logic-high. Note that, for  
the control pins, "logic-high" and "logic-low" refer to VA and GND, respectively. Nine dedicated control pins  
provide a wide range of control for the ADC12D800/500RF and facilitate its operation. These control pins  
provide DES Mode selection, Demux Mode selection, DDR Phase selection, execute Calibration,  
Calibration Delay setting, Power Down I-channel, Power Down Q-channel, Test Pattern Mode selection,  
and Full-Scale Input Range selection. In addition to this, two dual-purpose control pins provide for AC/DC-  
coupled Mode selection and LVDS output common-mode voltage selection. See Table 6-1 for a summary.

6.2.1.1 Dual Edge Sampling Pin (DES)  
The Dual Edge Sampling (DES) Pin selects whether the ADC12D800/500RF is in DES Mode (logic-high)  
or Non-DES Mode (logic-low). DES Mode means that a single analog input is sampled by both I- and Q-  
channels in a time-interleaved manner. One of the ADCs samples the input signal on the rising sampling  
clock edge (duty cycle corrected); the other ADC samples the input signal on the falling sampling clock  
edge (duty cycle corrected). In Non-ECM, only the I-input may be used for DES Mode, a.k.a. DESI Mode.  
In ECM, the Q-input may be selected via the DEQ Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit: 6), a.k.a. DESQ Mode. In ECM, both  
the I- and Q-inputs may be selected, a.k.a. DESIQ Mode.  
To use this feature in ECM, use the DES bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 7). See  
DES/Non-DES Mode for more information.  
6.2.1.2 Non-Demultiplexed Mode Pin (NDM)  
The Non-Demultiplexed Mode (NDM) Pin selects whether the ADC12D800/500RF is in Demux Mode  
(logic-low) or Non-Demux Mode (logic-high). In Non-Demux Mode, the data from the input is produced at  
the sampled rate at a single 12-bit output bus. In Demux Mode, the data from the input is produced at half  
the sampled rate at twice the number of output buses. For Non-DES Mode, each I- or Q-channel will  
produce its data on one or two buses for Non-Demux or Demux Mode, respectively. For DES Mode, the  
selected channel will produce its data on two or four buses for Non-Demux or Demux Mode, respectively.  
If Non-Demux Mode is selected, the default is DDR Mode. If Demux Mode is selected, the default is SDR  
Mode.  
This feature is pin-controlled only and remains active during both Non-ECM and ECM. See Demux/Non-  
demux Mode for more information.  
6.2.1.3 Dual Data Rate Phase Pin (DDRPh)  
The Dual Data Rate Phase (DDRPh) Pin selects whether the ADC12D800/500RF is in 0° Mode (logic-low)  
or 90° Mode (logic-high) for DDR Mode. If the device is in SDR Mode, then the DDRPh Pin selects  
whether the ADC12D800/500RF is in Falling Mode (logic-low) or Rising Mode (logic-high). For DDR Mode,  
the Data may transition either with the DCLK transition (0° Mode) or halfway between DCLK transitions  
(90° Mode). The DDRPh Pin selects the mode for both the I-channel: DI- and DId-to-DCLKI phase  
relationship and for the Q-channel: DQ- and DQd-to-DCLKQ phase relationship.

To use this feature in ECM, use the DPS bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 14). See SDR /  
DDR Clock for more information.  
6.2.1.4 Calibration Pin (CAL)  
The Calibration (CAL) Pin may be used to execute an on-command calibration or to disable the power-on  
calibration. The effect of calibration is to maximize the dynamic performance. To initiate an on-command  
calibration via the CAL pin, bring the CAL pin high for a minimum of tCAL_H input clock cycles after it has  
been low for a minimum of tCAL_L input clock cycles. Holding the CAL pin high upon power-on will prevent  
execution of the power-on calibration. In ECM, this pin remains active and is logically OR'd with the CAL  
bit.  
To use this feature in ECM, use the CAL bit in the Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 15). See  
Calibration Feature for more information.  
6.2.1.5 Calibration Delay Pin (CalDly)  
The Calibration Delay (CalDly) Pin selects whether a shorter or longer delay time is present, after the  
application of power, until the start of the power-on calibration. The actual delay time is specified as tCalDly  
and may be found in Converter Electrical Characteristics Calibration. This feature is pin-controlled only  
and remains active in ECM. It is recommended to select the desired delay time prior to power-on and not  
dynamically alter this selection.  
See Calibration Feature for more information.  
6.2.1.6 Power Down I-channel Pin (PDI)  
The Power Down I-channel (PDI) Pin selects whether the I-channel is powered down (logic-high) or active  
(logic-low). The digital data output pins, DI and DId, (both positive and negative) are put into a high  
impedance state when the I-channel is powered down. Upon return to the active state, the pipeline will  
contain meaningless information and must be flushed. The supply currents (typicals and limits) are  
available for the I-channel powered down or active and may be found in Converter Electrical  
Characteristics Power Supply Characteristics. The device should be recalibrated following a power-cycle  
of PDI (or PDQ).  
This pin remains active in ECM. In ECM, either this pin or the PDI bit (Addr: 0h; Bit: 11) in the Control  
Register may be used to power-down the I-channel. See Power Down for more information.  
6.2.1.7 Power Down Q-channel Pin (PDQ)  
The Power Down Q-channel (PDQ) Pin selects whether the Q-channel is powered down (logic-high) or  
active (logic-low). This pin functions similarly to the PDI pin, except that it applies to the Q-channel. The  
PDI and PDQ pins function independently of each other to control whether each I- or Q-channel is  
powered down or active.  
This pin remains active in ECM. In ECM, either this pin or the PDQ bit (Addr: 0h; Bit: 10) in the Control  
Register may be used to power-down the Q-channel. See Power Down for more information.  
6.2.1.8 Test Pattern Mode Pin (TPM)  
The Test Pattern Mode (TPM) Pin selects whether the output of the ADC12D800/500RF is a test pattern  
(logic-high) or the converted analog input (logic-low). The ADC12D800/500RF can provide a test pattern  
at the four output buses independently of the input signal to aid in system debug. In TPM, the ADC is  
disengaged and a test pattern generator is connected to the outputs, including ORI and ORQ. See Test  
Pattern Mode for more information.

6.2.1.9 Full-Scale Input Range Pin (FSR)  
The Full-Scale Input Range (FSR) Pin selects whether the full-scale input range for both the I- and Q-  
channel is higher (logic-high) or lower (logic-low). The input full-scale range is specified as VIN_FSR in  
Converter Electrical Characteristics Analog Input/Output and Reference Characteristics. In Non-ECM, the  
full-scale input range for each I- and Q-channel may not be set independently, but it is possible to do so in  
ECM. The device must be calibrated following a change in FSR to obtain optimal performance.  
To use this feature in ECM, use the Configuration Registers (Addr: 3h and Bh). See Input Control and  
Adjust for more information.  
6.2.1.10 AC/DC-Coupled Mode Pin (VCMO  
)
The VCMO Pin serves a dual purpose. When functioning as an output, it provides the optimal common-  
mode voltage for the DC-coupled analog inputs. When functioning as an input, it selects whether the  
device is AC-coupled (logic-low) or DC-coupled (floating). This pin is always active, in both ECM and Non-  
ECM.  
6.2.1.11 LVDS Output Common-mode Pin (VBG  
)
The VBG Pin serves a dual purpose. When functioning as an output, it provides the bandgap reference.  
When functioning as an input, it selects whether the LVDS output common-mode voltage is higher (logic-  
high) or lower (floating). The LVDS output common-mode voltage is specified as VOS and may be found in  
Converter Electrical Characteristics Digital Control and Output Pin Characteristics. This pin is always  
active, in both ECM and Non-ECM.  
6.2.2 Extended Control Mode  
In Extended Control Mode (ECM), most functions are controlled via the Serial Interface. In addition to this,  
several of the control pins remain active. See Table 6-4 for details. ECM is selected by setting the ECE  
Pin to logic-low. If the ECE Pin is set to logic-high (Non-ECM), then the registers are reset to their default  
values. So, a simple way to reset the registers is by toggling the ECE pin. Four pins on the  
ADC12D800/500RF control the Serial Interface: SCS, SCLK, SDI and SDO. This section covers the Serial  
Interface. The Register Definitions are located at the end of the datasheet so that they are easy to find,  
see Register Definitions.  
6.2.2.1 The Serial Interface  
The ADC12D800/500RF offers a Serial Interface that allows access to the sixteen control registers within  
the device. The Serial Interface is a generic 4-wire (optionally 3-wire) synchronous interface that is  
compatible with SPI type interfaces that are used on many micro-controllers and DSP controllers. Each  
serial interface access cycle is exactly 24 bits long. A register-read or register-write can be accomplished  
in one cycle. The signals are defined in such a way that the user can opt to simply join SDI and SDO  
signals in his system to accomplish a single, bidirectional SDI/O signal. A summary of the pins for this  
interface may be found in Table 6-2. See Figure 4-9 for the timing diagram and Converter Electrical  
Characteristics Serial Port Interface for timing specification details. Control register contents are retained  
when the device is put into power-down mode. If this feature is unused, the SCLK, SDI, and SCS pins  
may be left floating because they each have an internal pull-up.

SCS: Each assertion (logic-low) of this signal starts a new register access, i.e. the SDI command field  
must be ready on the following SCLK rising edge. The user is required to de-assert this signal after the  
24th clock. If the SCS is de-asserted before the 24th clock, no data read/write will occur. For a read  
operation, if the SCS is asserted longer than 24 clocks, the SDO output will hold the D0 bit until SCS is  
de-asserted. For a write operation, if the SCS is asserted longer than 24 clocks, data write will occur  
normally through the SDI input upon the 24th clock. Setup and hold times, tSCS and tHCS, with respect to  
the SCLK must be observed. SCS must be toggled in between register access cycles.  
SCLK: This signal is used to register the input data (SDI) on the rising edge; and to source the output  
data (SDO) on the falling edge. The user may disable the clock and hold it at logic-low. There is no  
minimum frequency requirement for SCLK; see fSCLK in Converter Electrical Characteristics Serial Port  
Interface for more details.  
SDI: Each register access requires a specific 24-bit pattern at this input, consisting of a command field  
and a data field. If the SDI and SDO wires are shared (3-wire mode), then during read operations, it is  
necessary to tri-state the master which is driving SDI while the data field is being output by the ADC on  
SDO. The master must be tri-stated before the falling edge of the 8th clock. If SDI and SDO are not shared  
(4-wire mode), then this is not necessary. Setup and hold times, tSH and tSSU, with respect to the SCLK  
must be observed.  
SDO: This output is normally tri-stated and is driven only when SCS is asserted, the first 8 bits of  
command data have been received and it is a READ operation. The data is shifted out, MSB first, starting  
with the 8th clock's falling edge. At the end of the access, when SCS is de-asserted, this output is tri-  
stated once again. If an invalid address is accessed, the data sourced will consist of all zeroes. If it is a  
read operation, there will be a bus turnaround time, tBSU, from when the last bit of the command field was  
read in until the first bit of the data field is written out.

6.3.1 Input Control and Adjust  
There are several features and configurations for the input of the ADC12D800/500RF so that it may be  
used in many different applications. This section covers AC/DC-coupled Mode, input full-scale range  
adjust, input offset adjust, DES/Non-DES Mode, and sampling clock phase adjust.  
6.3.1.1 AC/DC-coupled Mode  
The analog inputs may be AC or DC-coupled. See AC/DC-Coupled Mode Pin (VCMO) for information on  
how to select the desired mode and DC-coupled Input Signals and AC-coupled Input Signals for  
applications information.  
6.3.1.2 Input Full-Scale Range Adjust  
The input full-scale range for the ADC12D800/500RF may be adjusted via Non-ECM or ECM. In Non-  
ECM, a control pin selects a higher or lower value; see Full-Scale Input Range Pin (FSR). In ECM, the  
input full-scale range may be adjusted with 15-bits of precision. See VIN_FSR in Converter Electrical  
Characteristics Analog Input/Output and Reference Characteristics for electrical specification details. Note  
that the higher and lower full-scale input range settings in Non-ECM correspond to the mid and min full-  
scale input range settings in ECM. It is necessary to execute an on-command calibration following a  
change of the input full-scale range. See Register Definitions for information about the registers.  
6.3.1.3 Input Offset Adjust  
The input offset adjust for the ADC12D800/500RF may be adjusted with 12-bits of precision plus sign via  
ECM. See Register Definitions for information about the registers.  
6.3.1.4 DES/Non-DES Mode  
The ADC12D800/500RF can operate in Dual-Edge Sampling (DES) or Non-DES Mode. The DES Mode  
allows for a single analog input to be sampled by both I- and Q-channels. One channel samples the input  
on the rising edge of the sampling clock and the other samples the same input signal on the falling edge  
of the sampling clock. A single input is thus sampled twice per clock cycle, resulting in an overall sample  
rate of twice the sampling clock frequency, e.g. 1.6/1.0 GSPS with a 800/500 MHz sampling clock. Since  
DES Mode uses both I- and Q-channels to process the input signal, both channels must be powered up  
for the DES Mode to function properly.  
In Non-ECM, only the I-input may be used for the DES Mode input. See Dual Edge Sampling Pin (DES)  
for information on how to select the DES Mode. In ECM, either the I- or Q-input may be selected by first  
using the DES bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 7) to select the DES Mode. The DEQ Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit: 6) is used to  
select the Q-input, but the I-input is used by default. Also, both I- and Q-inputs may be driven externally,  
i.e. DESIQ Mode, by using the DIQ bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 5). See THE ANALOG INPUTS for more information  
about how to drive the ADC in DES Mode.  
In DESCLKIQ Mode, the I- and Q-channels sample their inputs 180° out-of-phase with respect to one  
another, similar to the other DES Modes. DESCLKIQ Mode is similar to the DESIQ Mode, except that the  
I- and Q-channels remain electrically separate internal to the ADC12D800/500RF. For this reason, both I-  
and Q-inputs must be externally driven for the DESCLKIQ Mode. The DCK Bit (Addr: Eh, Bit: 6) is used to  
select the 180° sampling clock mode.

www.ti.com  
The DESCLKIQ Mode results in the best bandwidth for the interleaved modes. In general, the bandwidth  
decreases from Non-DES Mode to DES Mode (specifically, DESI or DESQ) because both channels are  
sampling off the same input signal and non-ideal effects introduced by interleaving the two channels lower  
the bandwidth. Driving both I- and Q-channels externally (DESIQ Mode and DESCLKIQ Mode) results in  
better bandwidth because each channel is being driven, which reduces routing losses. The DESCLKIQ  
Mode has better bandwidth than the DESIQ Mode because the routing internal to the ADC12D800/500 is  
simpler, which results in less insertion loss.  
In the DES Mode, the outputs must be carefully interleaved in order to reconstruct the sampled signal. If  
the device is programmed into the 1:4 Demux DES Mode, the data is effectively demultiplexed by 1:4. If  
the sampling clock is 800/500 MHz, the effective sampling rate is doubled to 1.6/1.0 GSPS and each of  
the 4 output buses has an output rate of 400/250 MSPS. All data is available in parallel. To properly  
reconstruct the sampled waveform, the four bytes of parallel data that are output with each DCLK must be  
correctly interleaved. The sampling order is as follows, from the earliest to the latest: DQd, DId, DQ, DI.  
See Figure 4-5. If the device is programmed into the Non-Demux DES Mode, two bytes of parallel data  
are output with each edge of the DCLK in the following sampling order, from the earliest to the latest: DQ,  
DI. See Figure 4-6.  
6.3.1.5 DES Timing Adjust  
The performance of the ADC12D800/500RF in DES Mode depends on how well the two channels are  
interleaved, i.e. that the clock samples either channel with precisely a 50% duty-cycle, each channel has  
the same offset (nominally code 2047/2048), and each channel has the same full-scale range. The  
ADC12D800/500RF includes an automatic clock phase background adjustment in DES Mode to  
automatically and continuously adjust the clock phase of the I- and Q-channels. In addition to this, the  
residual fixed timing skew offset may be further manually adjusted, and further reduce timing spurs for  
specific applications. See the DES Timing Adjust (Addr: 7h). As the DES Timing Adjust is programmed  
from 0d to 127d, the magnitude of the Fs/2-Fin timing interleaving spur will decrease to a local minimum  
and then increase again. The default, nominal setting of 64d may or may not coincide with this local  
minimum. The user may manually skew the global timing to achieve the lowest possible timing interleaving  
spur.  
6.3.1.6 Sampling Clock Phase Adjust  
The sampling clock (CLK) phase may be delayed internally to the ADC up to 825 ps in ECM. This feature  
is intended to help the system designer remove small imbalances in clock distribution traces at the board  
level when multiple ADCs are used, or to simplify complex system functions such as beam steering for  
phase array antennas.  
Additional delay in the clock path also creates additional jitter when using the sampling clock phase adjust.  
Because the sampling clock phase adjust delays all clocks, including the DCLKs and output data, the user  
is strongly advised to use the minimal amount of adjustment and verify the net benefit of this feature in his  
system before relying on it.  
6.3.2 Output Control and Adjust  
There are several features and configurations for the output of the ADC12D800/500RF so that it may be  
used in many different applications. This section covers DDR clock phase, LVDS output differential and  
common-mode voltage, output formatting, Demux/Non-demux Mode, Test Pattern Mode, and Time Stamp.  
6.3.2.1 SDR / DDR Clock  
The ADC12D800/500RF output data can be delivered in Double Data Rate (DDR) or Single Data Rate  
(SDR). For DDR, the DCLK frequency is half the data rate and data is sent to the outputs on both edges  
of DCLK; see Figure 6-3. The DCLK-to-Data phase relationship may be either 0° or 90°. For 0° Mode, the  
Data transitions on each edge of the DCLK. Any offset from this timing is tOSK; see Converter Electrical  
Characteristics AC Electrical Characteristics for details. For 90° Mode, the DCLK transitions in the middle

of each Data cell. Setup and hold times for this transition, tSU and tH, may also be found in Converter  
Electrical Characteristics AC Electrical Characteristics. The DCLK-to-Data phase relationship may be  
selected via the DDRPh Pin in Non-ECM (see Dual Data Rate Phase Pin (DDRPh)) or the DPS bit in the  
Configuration Register (Addr: 0h; Bit: 14) in ECM. Note that for DDR Mode, the 1:2 Demux Mode is not  
available.

For SDR, the DCLK frequency is the same as the data rate and data is sent to the outputs on a single  
edge of DCLK; see Figure 6-4. The Data may transition on either the rising or falling edge of DCLK. Any  
offset from this timing is tOSK; see Converter Electrical Characteristics AC Electrical Characteristics for  
details. The DCLK rising / falling edge may be selected via the SDR bit in the Configuration Register  
(Addr: 0h; Bit: 2) in ECM only.

6.3.2.2 LVDS Output Differential Voltage  
The ADC12D800/500RF is available with a selectable higher or lower LVDS output differential voltage.  
This parameter is VOD and may be found in Converter Electrical Characteristics Digital Control and Output  
Pin Characteristics. The desired voltage may be selected via the OVS Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 13). For many  
applications, in which the LVDS outputs are very close to an FPGA on the same board, for example, the  
lower setting is sufficient for good performance; this will also reduce the possibility for EMI from the LVDS  
outputs to other signals on the board. See Register Definitions for more information.  
6.3.2.3 LVDS Output Common-Mode Voltage  
The ADC12D800/500RF is available with a selectable higher or lower LVDS output common-mode  
voltage. This parameter is VOS and may be found in Converter Electrical Characteristics Digital Control  
and Output Pin Characteristics. See LVDS Output Common-mode Pin (VBG) for information on how to  
select the desired voltage.

6.3.2.4 Output Formatting  
The formatting at the digital data outputs may be either offset binary or two's complement. The default  
formatting is offset binary, but two's complement may be selected via the 2SC Bit (Addr: 0h, Bit 4); see  
Register Definitions for more information.  
6.3.2.5 Demux/Non-demux Mode  
The ADC12D800/500RF may be in one of two demultiplex modes: Demux Mode or Non-Demux Mode  
(also sometimes referred to as 1:1 Demux Mode). In Non-Demux Mode, the data from the input is simply  
output at the sampling rate on one 12-bit bus. In Demux Mode, the data from the input is output at half the  
sampling rate, on twice the number of buses. Demux/Non-Demux Mode may only be selected by the NDM  
pin. In Non-DES Mode, the output data from each channel may be demultiplexed by a factor of 1:2 (1:2  
Demux Non-DES Mode) or not demultiplexed (Non-Demux Non-DES Mode). In DES Mode, the output  
data from both channels interleaved may be demultiplexed (1:4 Demux DES Mode) or not demultiplexed  
(Non-Demux DES Mode).  
Note that for 1:2 Demux Mode, the Dual Data Rate (DDR) is not available. See Table 6-5 for a selection of  
available modes.

6.3.2.6 Test Pattern Mode  
The ADC12D800/500RF can provide a test pattern at the four output buses independently of the input  
signal to aid in system debug. In Test Pattern Mode, the ADC is disengaged and a test pattern generator  
is connected to the outputs, including ORI and ORQ. The test pattern output is the same in DES Mode or  
Non-DES Mode. Each port is given a unique 12-bit word, alternating between 1's and 0's. When the part is  
programmed into the Demux Mode, the test pattern’s order is described in Table 6-6. If the I- or Q-channel  
is powered down, the test pattern will not be output for that channel.

6.3.2.7 Time Stamp  
The Time Stamp feature enables the user to capture the timing of an external trigger event, relative to the  
sampled signal. When enabled via the TSE Bit (Addr: 0h; Bit: 3), the LSB of the digital outputs (DQd, DQ,  
DId, DI) captures the trigger information. In effect, the 12-bit converter becomes an 11-bit converter and  
the LSB acts as a 1-bit converter with the same latency as the 11-bit converter. The trigger should be  
applied to the DCLK_RST input. It may be asynchronous to the ADC sampling clock.  
6.3.3 Calibration Feature  
The ADC12D800/500RF calibration must be run to achieve specified performance. The calibration  
procedure is exactly the same regardless of how it was initiated or when it is run. Calibration trims the  
analog input differential termination resistors, the CLK input resistor, and sets internal bias currents which  
affect the linearity of the converter. This minimizes full-scale error, offset error, DNL and INL, which results  
in the maximum dynamic performance, as measured by: SNR, THD, SINAD (SNDR) and ENOB.  
6.3.3.1 Calibration Control Pins and Bits  
Table 6-8 is a summary of the pins and bits used for calibration. See Ball Descriptions and Equivalent  
Circuits for complete pin information and Figure 4-8 for the timing diagram.

6.3.3.2 How to Execute a Calibration  
Calibration may be initiated by holding the CAL pin low for at least tCAL_L clock cycles, and then holding it  
high for at least another tCAL_H clock cycles, as defined in Converter Electrical Characteristics Calibration.  
The minimum tCAL_L and tCAL_H input clock cycle sequences are required to ensure that random noise does  
not cause a calibration to begin when it is not desired. The time taken by the calibration procedure is  
specified as tCAL. The CAL Pin is active in both ECM and Non-ECM. However, in ECM, the CAL Pin is  
logically OR'd with the CAL Bit, so both the pin and bit are required to be set low before executing another  
calibration via either pin or bit.  
6.3.3.3 Power-on Calibration  
For standard operation, power-on calibration begins after a time delay following the application of power,  
as determined by the setting of the CalDly Pin and measured by tCalDly (see Converter Electrical  
Characteristics Calibration). This delay allows the power supply to come up and stabilize before the  
power-on calibration takes place. The best setting (short or long) of the CalDly Pin depends upon the  
settling time of the power supply.  
It is strongly recommended to set CalDly Pin (to either logic-high or logic-low) before powering the device  
on since this pin affects the power-on calibration timing. This may be accomplished by setting CalDly via  
an external 1kΩ resistor connected to GND or VA. If the CalDly Pin is toggled while the device is powered-  
on, it can execute a calibration even though the CAL Pin/Bit remains logic-low.  
The power-on calibration will be not be performed if the CAL pin is logic-high at power-on. In this case, the  
calibration cycle will not begin until the on-command calibration conditions are met. The  
ADC12D800/500RF will function with the CAL pin held high at power up, but no calibration will be done  
and performance will be impaired.  
If it is necessary to toggle the CalDly Pin before the system power up sequence, then the CAL Pin/Bit  
must be set to logic-high during the toggling and afterwards for 109 Sampling Clock cycles. This will  
prevent the power-on calibration, so an on-command calibration must be executed or the performance will  
be impaired.  
6.3.3.4 On-command Calibration  
In addition to the power-on calibration, it is recommended to execute an on-command calibration  
whenever the settings or conditions to the device are altered significantly, in order to obtain optimal  
parametric performance. Some examples include: changing the FSR via either ECM or Non-ECM, power-  
cycling either channel, and switching into or out of DES Mode. For best performance, it is also  
recommended that an on-command calibration be run 20 seconds or more after application of power and  
whenever the operating temperature changes significantly, relative to the specific system performance  
requirements.

SNAS502E JULY 2011REVISED MARCH 2013  
Due to the nature of the calibration feature, it is recommended to avoid unnecessary activities on the  
device while the calibration is taking place. For example, do not read or write to the Serial Interface or use  
the DCLK Reset feature while calibrating the ADC. Doing so will impair the performance of the device until  
it is re-calibrated correctly. Also, it is recommended to not apply a strong narrow-band signal to the analog  
inputs during calibration because this may impair the accuracy of the calibration; broad spectrum noise is  
acceptable.  
6.3.3.5 Calibration Adjust  
The sequence of the calibration event itself may be adjusted. This feature can be used if a shorter  
calibration time than the default is required; see tCAL in Converter Electrical Characteristics Calibration.  
However, the performance of the device, when using this feature is not ensured.  
The calibration sequence may be adjusted via CSS (Addr: 4h, Bit 14). The default setting of CSS = 1b  
executes both RIN and RIN_CLK Calibration (using Rtrim) and internal linearity Calibration (using Rext).  
Executing a calibration with CSS = 0b executes only the internal linearity Calibration. The first time that  
Calibration is executed, it must be with CSS = 1b to trim RIN and RIN_CLK. However, once the device is at  
its operating temperature and RIN has been trimmed at least one time, it will not drift significantly. To save  
time in subsequent calibrations, trimming RIN and RIN_CLK may be skipped, i.e. by setting CSS = 0b.  
6.3.3.6 Read/Write Calibration Settings  
When the ADC performs a calibration, the calibration constants are stored in an array which is accessible  
via the Calibration Values register (Addr: 5h). To save the time which it takes to execute a calibration, tCAL  
,
or to allow re-use of a previous calibration result, these values can be read from and written to the register  
at a later time. For example, if an application requires the same input impedance, RIN, this feature can be  
used to load a previously determined set of values. For the calibration values to be valid, the ADC must be  
operating under the same conditions, including temperature, at which the calibration values were originally  
determined by the ADC.  
To read calibration values from the SPI, do the following:  
1. Set ADC to desired operating conditions.  
2. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 1.  
3. Read exactly 240 times the Calibration Values register (Addr: 5h). The register values are R0, R1, R2...  
R239 where R0 is a dummy value. The contents of R<239:1> should be stored.  
4. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 0.  
5. Continue with normal operation.  
To write calibration values to the SPI, do the following:  
1. Set ADC to operating conditions at which Calibration Values were previously read.  
2. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 1.  
3. Write exactly 239 times the Calibration Values register (Addr: 5h). The registers should be written with  
stored register values R1, R2... R239.  
4. Make two additional dummy writes of 0000h.  
5. Set SSC (Addr: 4h, Bit 7) to 0.  
6. Continue with normal operation.

6.3.3.7 Calibration and Power-Down  
If PDI and PDQ are simultaneously asserted during a calibration cycle, the ADC12D800/500RF will  
immediately power down. The calibration cycle will continue when either or both channels are powered  
back up, but the calibration will be compromised due to the incomplete settling of bias currents directly  
after power up. Therefore, a new calibration should be executed upon powering the ADC12D800/500RF  
back up. In general, the ADC12D800/500RF should be recalibrated when either or both channels are  
powered back up, or after one channel is powered down. For best results, this should be done after the  
device has stabilized to its operating temperature.  
6.3.3.8 Calibration and the Digital Outputs  
During calibration, the digital outputs (including DI, DId, DQ, DQd and OR) are set logic-low, to reduce  
noise. The DCLK runs continuously during calibration. After the calibration is completed and the CalRun  
signal is logic-low, it takes an additional 60 Sampling Clock cycles before the output of the  
ADC12D800/500RF is valid converted data from the analog inputs. This is the time it takes for the pipeline  
to flush, as well as for other internal processes.  
6.3.4 Power Down  
On the ADC12D800/500RF, the I- and Q-channels may be powered down individually. This may be  
accomplished via the control pins, PDI and PDQ, or via ECM. In ECM, the PDI and PDQ pins are logically  
OR'd with the Control Register setting. See Power Down I-channel Pin (PDI) and Power Down Q-channel  
Pin (PDQ) for more information.  
6.4 Applications Information  
6.4.1 THE ANALOG INPUTS  
The ADC12D800/500RF will continuously convert any signal which is present at the analog inputs, as long  
as a CLK signal is also provided to the device. This section covers important aspects related to the analog  
inputs including: acquiring the input, driving the ADC in DES Mode, the reference voltage and FSR, out-of-  
range indication, AC/DC-coupled signals, and single-ended input signals.  
6.4.1.1 Acquiring the Input  
The Aperture Delay, tAD, is the amount of delay, measured from the sampling edge of the clock input, after  
which signal present at the input pin is sampled inside the device. Data is acquired at the rising edge of  
CLK+ in Non-DES Mode and both the falling and rising edges of CLK+ in DES Mode. In Non-DES Mode,  
the I- and Q-channels always sample data on the rising edge of CLK+. In DES Mode, i.e. DESI, DESQ,  
DESIQ, and DESCLKIQ, the I-channel samples data on the rising edge of CLK+ and the Q-channel  
samples data on the falling edge of CLK+. The digital equivalent of that data is available at the digital  
outputs a constant number of sampling clock cycles later for the DI, DQ, DId and DQd output buses, a.k.a.  
Latency, depending on the demultiplex mode which is selected. In addition to the Latency, there is a  
constant output delay, tOD, before the data is available at the outputs. See tOD in the Timing Diagrams.  
See tLAT, tAD, and tODin Converter Electrical Characteristics AC Electrical Characteristics.  
6.4.1.2 Driving the ADC in DES Mode  
The ADC12D800/500RF can be configured as either a 2-channel, 800/500 GSPS device (Non-DES Mode)  
or a 1-channel 1.6/1.0 GSPS device (DES Mode). When the device is configured in DES Mode, there is a  
choice for with which input to drive the single-channel ADC. These are the 3 options:  
DES – externally driving the I-channel input only. This is the default selection when the ADC is configured  
in DES Mode. It may also be referred to as “DESI” for added clarity.  
DESQ – externally driving the Q-channel input only.

SNAS502E JULY 2011REVISED MARCH 2013  
DESIQ, DESCLKIQ – externally driving both the I- and Q-channel inputs. VinI+ and VinQ+ should be  
driven with the exact same signal. VinI- and VinQ- should be driven with the exact same signal, which is  
the differential compliment to the one driving VinI+ and VinQ+.  
The input impedance for each I- and Q-input is 100differential (or 50single-ended), so the trace to  
each VinI+, VinI-, VinQ+, and VinQ- should always be 50single-ended. If a single I- or Q-input is being  
driven, then that input will present a 100differential load. For example, if a 50single-ended source is  
driving the ADC, then a 1:2 balun will transform the impedance to 100differential. However, if the ADC  
is being driven in DESIQ Mode, then the 100differential impedance from the I-input will appear in  
parallel with the Q-input for a composite load of 50differential and a 1:1 balun would be appropriate.  
See Figure 6-5 for an example circuit driving the ADC in DESIQ Mode. A recommended part selection is  
using the Mini-Circuits TC1-1-13MA+ balun with Ccouple = 0.22µF.

6.4.1.3 FSR and the Reference Voltage  
The full-scale analog differential input range (VIN_FSR) of the ADC12D800/500RF is derived from an  
internal bandgap reference. In Non-ECM, this full-scale range has two settings controlled by the FSR Pin;  
see Full-Scale Input Range Pin (FSR). The FSR Pin operates on both I- and Q-channels. In ECM, the full-  
scale range may be independently set for each channel via Addr:3h and Bh with 15 bits of precision; see  
Register Definitions. The best SNR is obtained with a higher full-scale input range, but better distortion  
and SFDR are obtained with a lower full-scale input range. It is not possible to use an external analog  
reference voltage to modify the full-scale range, and this adjustment should only be done digitally, as  
described.  
A buffered version of the internal bandgap reference voltage is made available at the VBG Pin for the user.  
The VBG pin can drive a load of up to 80 pF and source or sink up to 100 μA. It should be buffered if more  
current than this is required. This pin remains as a constant reference voltage regardless of what full-scale  
range is selected and may be used for a system reference. VBG is a dual-purpose pin and it may also be  
used to select a higher LVDS output common-mode voltage; see LVDS Output Common-mode Pin (VBG).

6.4.1.4 Out-Of-Range Indication  
Differential input signals are digitized to 12 bits, based on the full-scale range. Signal excursions beyond  
the full-scale range, i.e. greater than +VIN_FSR/2 or less than -VIN_FSR/2, will be clipped at the output. An  
input signal which is above the FSR will result in all 1's at the output and an input signal which is below  
the FSR will result in all 0's at the output. When the conversion result is clipped for the I-channel input, the  
Out-of-Range I-channel (ORI) output is activated such that ORI+ goes high and ORI- goes low while the  
signal is out of range. This output is active as long as accurate data on either or both of the buses would  
be outside the range of 000h to FFFh. The Q-channel has a separate ORQ which functions similarly.  
6.4.1.5 Maximum Input Range  
The recommended operating and absolute maximum input range may be found in Operating Ratings and  
Absolute Maximum Ratings, respectively. Under the stated allowed operating conditions, each Vin+ and  
Vin- input pin may be operated in the range from 0V to 2.15V if the input is a continuous 100% duty cycle  
signal and from 0V to 2.5V if the input is a 10% duty cycle signal. The absolute maximum input range for  
Vin+ and Vin- is from -0.15V to 2.5V. These limits apply only for input signals for which the input common  
mode voltage is properly maintained.  
6.4.1.6 AC-coupled Input Signals  
The ADC12D800/500RF analog inputs require a precise common-mode voltage. This voltage is generated  
on-chip when AC-coupling Mode is selected. See AC/DC-Coupled Mode Pin (VCMO) for more information  
about how to select AC-coupled Mode.  
In AC-coupled Mode, the analog inputs must of course be AC-coupled. For an ADC12D800/500RF used  
in a typical application, this may be accomplished by on-board capacitors, as shown in Figure 6-6. For the  
ADC12D800RFRB, the SMA inputs on the Reference Board are directly connected to the analog inputs on  
the ADC12D800RF, so this may be accomplished by DC blocks (included with the hardware kit).  
When the AC-coupled Mode is selected, an analog input channel that is not used (e.g. in DES Mode)  
should be connected to AC ground, e.g. through capacitors to ground . Do not connect an unused analog  
input directly to ground.

Figure 6-6. AC-coupled Differential Input  
The analog inputs for the ADC12D800/500RF are internally buffered, which simplifies the task of driving  
these inputs and the RC pole which is generally used at sampling ADC inputs is not required. If the user  
desires to place an amplifier circuit before the ADC, care should be taken to choose an amplifier with  
adequate noise and distortion performance, and adequate gain at the frequencies used for the application.

6.4.1.7 DC-coupled Input Signals  
In DC-coupled Mode, the ADC12D800/500RF differential inputs must have the correct common-mode  
voltage. This voltage is provided by the device itself at the VCMO output pin. It is recommended to use this  
voltage because the VCMO output potential will change with temperature and the common-mode voltage of  
the driving device should track this change. Full-scale distortion performance falls off as the input common  
mode voltage deviates from VCMO. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the input common-mode voltage  
within 100 mV of VCMO (typical), although this range may be extended to ±150 mV (maximum). See VCMI  
in Converter Electrical Characteristics Analog Input/Output and Reference Characteristics and ENOB vs.  
VCMI in Typical Performance Plots. Performance in AC- and DC-coupled Mode are similar, provided that  
the input common mode voltage at both analog inputs remains within 100 mV of VCMO  
.
6.4.1.8 Single-Ended Input Signals  
The analog inputs of the ADC12D800/500RF are not designed to accept single-ended signals. The best  
way to handle single-ended signals is to first convert them to differential signals before presenting them to  
the ADC. The easiest way to accomplish single-ended to differential signal conversion is with an  
appropriate balun-transformer, as shown in Figure 6-7.

Figure 6-7. Single-Ended to Differential Conversion Using a Balun  
When selecting a balun, it is important to understand the input architecture of the ADC. The impedance of  
the analog source should be matched to the ADC12D800/500RF's on-chip 100differential input  
termination resistor. The range of this termination resistor is specified as RIN in Converter Electrical  
Characteristics Analog Input/Output and Reference Characteristics.  
6.4.2 THE CLOCK INPUTS  
The ADC12D800/500RF has a differential clock input, CLK+ and CLK-, which must be driven with an AC-  
coupled, differential clock signal. This provides the level shifting necessary to allow for the clock to be  
driven with LVDS, PECL, LVPECL, or CML levels. The clock inputs are internally terminated to 100Ω  
differential and self-biased. This section covers coupling, frequency range, level, duty-cycle, jitter, and  
layout considerations.  
6.4.2.1 CLK Coupling  
The clock inputs of the ADC12D800/500RF must be capacitively coupled to the clock pins as indicated in  
Figure 6-8.

SNAS502E JULY 2011REVISED MARCH 2013  
www.ti.com  
The choice of capacitor value will depend on the clock frequency, capacitor component characteristics and  
other system economic factors. For example, on the ADC12D800RFRB, the capacitors have the value  
Ccouple = 4.7 nF which yields a highpass cutoff frequency, fc = 677.2 kHz.  
6.4.2.2 CLK Frequency  
Although the ADC12D800/500RF is tested and its performance is ensured with a differential 1.0/1.6 GHz  
sampling clock, it will typically function well over the input clock frequency range; see fCLK(min) and  
fCLK(max) in Converter Electrical Characteristics AC Electrical Characteristics. Operation up to fCLK(max) is  
possible if the maximum ambient temperatures indicated are not exceeded. Operating at sample rates  
above fCLK(max) for the maximum ambient temperature may result in reduced device reliability and  
product lifetime. This is due to the fact that higher sample rates results in higher power consumption and  
die temperatures.  
6.4.2.3 CLK Level  
The input clock amplitude is specified as VIN_CLK in Converter Electrical Characteristics Sampling Clock  
Characteristics. Input clock amplitudes above the max VIN_CLK may result in increased input offset voltage.  
This would cause the converter to produce an output code other than the expected 2047/2048 when both  
input pins are at the same potential. Insufficient input clock levels will result in poor dynamic performance.  
Both of these results may be avoided by keeping the clock input amplitude within the specified limits of  
VIN_CLK  
.
6.4.2.4 CLK Duty Cycle  
The duty cycle of the input clock signal can affect the performance of any A/D converter. The  
ADC12D800/500RF features a duty cycle clock correction circuit which can maintain performance over the  
20%-to-80% specified clock duty-cycle range. This feature is enabled by default and provides improved  
ADC clocking, especially in the Dual-Edge Sampling (DES) Mode.  
6.4.2.5 CLK Jitter  
High speed, high performance ADCs such as the ADC12D800/500RF require a very stable input clock  
signal with minimum phase noise or jitter. ADC jitter requirements are defined by the ADC resolution  
(number of bits), maximum ADC input frequency and the input signal amplitude relative to the ADC input  
full scale range. The maximum jitter (the sum of the jitter from all sources) allowed to prevent a jitter-  
induced reduction in SNR is found to be  
tJ(MAX) = ( VIN(P-P)/ VFSR) x (1/(2(N+1) x π x fIN))  
(1)  
where tJ(MAX) is the rms total of all jitter sources in seconds, VIN(P-P) is the peak-to-peak analog input signal,  
VFSR is the full-scale range of the ADC, "N" is the ADC resolution in bits and fIN is the maximum input  
frequency, in Hertz, at the ADC analog input.  
tJ(MAX) is the square root of the sum of the squares (RSS) of the jitter from all sources, including: the ADC  
input clock, system, input signals and the ADC itself. Since the effective jitter added by the ADC is beyond  
user control, it is recommended to keep the sum of all other externally added jitter to a minimum.  
6.4.2.6 CLK Layout  
The ADC12D800/500RF clock input is internally terminated with a trimmed 100resistor. The differential  
input clock line pair should have a characteristic impedance of 100and (when using a balun), be  
terminated at the clock source in that (100) characteristic impedance.  
It is good practice to keep the ADC input clock line as short as possible, tightly coupled, keep it well away  
from any other signals, and treat it as a transmission line. Otherwise, other signals can introduce jitter into  
the input clock signal. Also, the clock signal can introduce noise into the analog path if it is not properly  
isolated.

6.4.3 THE LVDS OUTPUTS  
The Data, ORI, ORQ, DCLKI and DCLKQ outputs are LVDS. The electrical specifications of the LVDS  
outputs are compatible with typical LVDS receivers available on ASIC and FPGA chips; but they are not  
IEEE or ANSI communications standards compliant due to the low +1.9V supply used on this chip. These  
outputs should be terminated with a 100differential resistor placed as closely to the receiver as possible.  
If the 100differential resistance is built in to the receiver, then an externally placed resistor is not  
necessary. This section covers common-mode and differential voltage, and data rate.  
6.4.3.1 Common-mode and Differential Voltage  
The LVDS outputs have selectable common-mode and differential voltage, VOS and VOD; see Converter  
Electrical Characteristics Digital Control and Output Pin Characteristics. See Output Control and Adjust for  
more information.  
Selecting the higher VOS will also increase VOD slightly. The differential voltage, VOD, may be selected for  
the higher or lower value. For short LVDS lines and low noise systems, satisfactory performance may be  
realized with the lower VOD. This will also result in lower power consumption. If the LVDS lines are long  
and/or the system in which the ADC12D800/500RF is used is noisy, it may be necessary to select the  
higher VOD  
.
6.4.3.2 Output Data Rate  
The data is produced at the output at the same rate it is sampled at the input. The minimum  
recommended input clock rate for this device is fCLK(MIN); see Converter Electrical Characteristics AC  
Electrical Characteristics. However, it is possible to operate the device in 1:2 Demux Mode and capture  
data from just one 12-bit bus, e.g. just DI (or DId) although both DI and DId are fully operational. This will  
decimate the data by two and effectively halve the data rate.  
6.4.3.3 Terminating Unused LVDS Output Pins  
If the ADC is used in Non-Demux Mode, then only the DI and DQ data outputs will have valid data present  
on them. The DId and DQd data outputs may be left not connected; if unused, they are internally tri-  
stated.  
Similarly, if the Q-channel is powered-down (i.e. PDQ is logic-high), the DQ data output pins, DCLKQ and  
ORQ may be left not connected.  
6.4.4 SYNCHRONIZING MULTIPLE ADC12D800/500RFS IN A SYSTEM  
The ADC12D800/500RF has two features to assist the user with synchronizing multiple ADCs in a system;  
AutoSync and DCLK Reset. The AutoSync feature is new and designates one ADC12D800/500RF as the  
Master ADC and other ADC12D800/500RFs in the system as Slave ADCs. The DCLK Reset feature  
performs the same function as the AutoSync feature, but is the first generation solution to synchronizing  
multiple ADCs in a system; it is disabled by default. For the application in which there are multiple Master  
and Slave ADC12D800/500RFs in a system, AutoSync may be used to synchronize the Slave  
ADC12D800/500RF(s) to each respective Master ADC12D800/500RF and the DCLK Reset may be used  
to synchronize the Master ADC12D800/500RFs to each other.  
If the AutoSync or DCLK Reset feature is not used, see Table 6-10 for recommendations about  
terminating unused pins.

6.4.4.1 AutoSync Feature  
AutoSync is a new feature which continuously synchronizes the outputs of multiple ADC12D800/500RFs  
in a system. It may be used to synchronize the DCLK and data outputs of one or more Slave  
ADC12D800/500RFs to one Master ADC12D800/500RF. Several advantages of this feature include: no  
special synchronization pulse required, any upset in synchronization is recovered upon the next DCLK  
cycle, and the Master/Slave ADC12D800/500RFs may be arranged as a binary tree so that any upset will  
quickly propagate out of the system.  
An example system is shown below in Figure 6-9 which consists of one Master ADC and two Slave ADCs.  
For simplicity, only one DCLK is shown; in reality, there is DCLKI and DCLKQ, but they are always in  
phase with one another.

CLK  
Figure 6-9. AutoSync Example  
In order to synchronize the DCLK (and Data) outputs of multiple ADCs, the DCLKs must transition at the  
same time, as well as be in phase with one another. The DCLK at each ADC is generated from the CLK  
after some latency, plus tOD minus tAD. Therefore, in order for the DCLKs to transition at the same time,  
the CLK signal must reach each ADC at the same time. To tune out any differences in the CLK path to  
each ADC, the tAD adjust feature may be used. However, using the tAD adjust feature will also affect when  
the DCLK is produced at the output. If the device is in Demux Mode, then there are four possible phases  
which each DCLK may be generated on because the typical CLK = 1GHz and DCLK = 250 MHz for this  
case. The RCLK signal controls the phase of the DCLK, so that each Slave DCLK is on the same phase  
as the Master DCLK.  
The AutoSync feature may only be used via the Control Registers. For more information, see AN-2132.  
6.4.4.2 DCLK Reset Feature  
The DCLK reset feature is available via ECM, but it is disabled by default. DCLKI and DCLKQ are always  
synchronized, by design, and do not require a pulse from DCLK_RST to become synchronized.  
The DCLK_RST signal must observe certain timing requirements, which are shown in Figure 4-7 of the  
Timing Diagrams. The DCLK_RST pulse must be of a minimum width and its deassertion edge must  
observe setup and hold times with respect to the CLK input rising edge. These timing specifications are  
listed as tPWR, tSR and tHR and may be found in Converter Electrical Characteristics AC Electrical  
Characteristics.

SNAS502E JULY 2011REVISED MARCH 2013  
The DCLK_RST signal can be asserted asynchronously to the input clock. If DCLK_RST is asserted, the  
DCLK output is held in a designated state (logic-high) in Demux Mode; in Non-Demux Mode, the DCLK  
continues to function normally. Depending upon when the DCLK_RST signal is asserted, there may be a  
narrow pulse on the DCLK line during this reset event. When the DCLK_RST signal is de-asserted, there  
are tSYNC_DLY CLK cycles of systematic delay and the next CLK rising edge synchronizes the DCLK output  
with those of other ADC12D800/500RFs in the system. For 90° Mode (DDRPh = logic-high), the  
synchronizing edge occurs on the rising edge of CLK, 4 cycles after the first rising edge of CLK after  
DCLK_RST is released. For 0° Mode (DDRPh = logic-low), this is 5 cycles instead. The DCLK output is  
enabled again after a constant delay of tOD  
.
For both Demux and Non-Demux Modes, there is some uncertainty about how DCLK comes out of the  
reset state for the first DCLK_RST pulse. For the second (and subsequent) DCLK_RST pulses, the DCLK  
will come out of the reset state in a known way. Therefore, if using the DCLK Reset feature, it is  
recommended to apply one "dummy" DCLK_RST pulse before using the second DCLK_RST pulse to  
synchronize the outputs. This recommendation applies each time the device or channel is powered-on.  
When using DCLK_RST to synchronize multiple ADC12D800/500RFs, it is required that the Select Phase  
bits in the Control Register (Addr: Eh, Bits 3,4) be the same for each Master ADC12D800/500RF.  
6.4.5 SUPPLY/GROUNDING, LAYOUT AND THERMAL RECOMMENDATIONS  
6.4.5.1 Power Planes  
All supply buses for the ADC should be sourced from a common linear voltage regulator. This ensures  
that all power buses to the ADC are turned on and off simultaneously. This single source will be split into  
individual sections of the power plane, with individual decoupling and connection to the different power  
supply buses of the ADC. Due to the low voltage but relatively high supply current requirement, the  
optimal solution may be to use a switching regulator to provide an intermediate low voltage, which is then  
regulated down to the final ADC supply voltage by a linear regulator. Please refer to the documentation  
provided for the ADC12D800RFRB for additional details on specific regulators that are recommended for  
this configuration.  
Power for the ADC should be provided through a broad plane which is located on one layer adjacent to  
the ground plane(s). Placing the power and ground planes on adjacent layers will provide low impedance  
decoupling of the ADC supplies, especially at higher frequencies. The output of a linear regulator should  
feed into the power plane through a low impedance multi-via connection. The power plane should be split  
into individual power peninsulas near the ADC. Each peninsula should feed a particular power bus on the  
ADC, with decoupling for that power bus connecting the peninsula to the ground plane near each  
power/ground pin pair. Using this technique can be difficult on many printed circuit CAD tools. To work  
around this, zero ohm resistors can be used to connect the power source net to the individual nets for the  
different ADC power buses. As a final step, the zero ohm resistors can be removed and the plane and  
peninsulas can be connected manually after all other error checking is completed.  
6.4.5.2 Bypass Capacitors  
The general recommendation is to have one 100nF capacitor for each power/ground pin pair. The  
capacitors should be surface mount multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors similar to Panasonic part number  
ECJ-0EB1A104K.  
6.4.5.3 Ground Planes  
Grounding should be done using continuous full ground planes to minimize the impedance for all ground  
return paths, and provide the shortest possible image/return path for all signal traces.

6.4.5.4 Power System Example  
The ADC12D800RFRB uses continuous ground planes (except where clear areas are needed to provide  
appropriate impedance management for specific signals), see Figure 6-10. Power is provided on one  
plane, with the 1.9V ADC supply being split into multiple zones or peninsulas for the specific power buses  
of the ADC. Decoupling capacitors are connected between these power bus peninsulas and the adjacent  
ground planes using vias. The capacitors are located as close to the individual power/ground pin pairs of  
the ADC as possible. In most cases, this means the capacitors are located on the opposite side of the  
PCB to the ADC.

6.4.5.5 Thermal Management  
The Heat Slug Ball Grid Array (HSBGA) package is a modified version of the industry standard plastic  
BGA (Ball Grid Array) package. Inside the package, a copper heat spreader cap is attached to the  
substrate top with exposed metal in the center top area of the package. This results in a 20%  
improvement (typical) in thermal performance over the standard plastic BGA package.

Figure 6-11. HSBGA Conceptual Drawing  
The center balls are connected to the bottom of the die by vias in the package substrate, Figure 6-11. This  
gives a low thermal resistance between the die and these balls. Connecting these balls to the PCB ground  
planes with a low thermal resistance path is the best way dissipate the heat from the ADC. These pins  
should also be connected to the ground plane via a low impedance path for electrical purposes. The direct  
connection to the ground planes is an easy method to spread heat away from the ADC. Along with the  
ground plane, the parallel power planes will provide additional thermal dissipation.  
The center ground balls should be soldered down to the recommended ball pads (See AN-1126). These  
balls will have wide traces which in turn have vias which connect to the internal ground planes, and a  
bottom ground pad/pour if possible. This ensures a good ground is provided for these balls, and that the  
optimal heat transfer will occur between these balls and the PCB ground planes.  
In spite of these package enhancements, analysis using the standard JEDEC JESD51-7 four-layer PCB  
thermal model shows that ambient temperatures must be limited to 70/77°C to ensure a safe operating  
junction temperature for the ADC12D800/500RF. However, most applications using the  
ADC12D800/500RF will have a printed circuit board which is more complex than that used in JESD51-7.  
Typical circuit boards will have more layers than the JESD51-7 (eight or more), several of which will be  
used for ground and power planes. In those applications, the thermal resistance parameters of the  
ADC12D800/500RF and the circuit board can be used to determine the actual safe ambient operating  
temperature up to a maximum of 85°C.  
Three key parameters are provided to allow for modeling and calculations. Because there are two main  
thermal paths between the ADC die and external environment, the thermal resistance for each of these  
paths is provided. θJC1 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the exposed metal area on  
the top of the HSBGA package. θJC2 represents the thermal resistance between the die and the center  
group of balls on the bottom of the HSBGA package. The final parameter is the allowed maximum junction  
temperature, TJ.  
In other applications, a heat sink or other thermally conductive path can be added to the top of the  
HSBGA package to remove heat. In those cases, θJC1 can be used along with the thermal parameters for  
the heat sink or other thermal coupling added. Representative heat sinks which might be used with the  
ADC12D800/500RF include the Cool Innovations p/n 3-1212XXG and similar products from other vendors.  
In many applications, the printed circuit board will provide the primary thermal path conducting heat away  
from the ADC package. In those cases, θJC2 can be used in conjunction with printed circuit board thermal  
modeling software to determine the allowed operating conditions that will maintain the die temperature  
below the maximum allowable limit. Additional dissipation can be achieved by coupling a heat sink to the  
copper pour area on the bottom side of the printed circuit board.  
Typically, dissipation will occur through one predominant thermal path. In these cases, the following  
calculations can be used to determine the maximum safe ambient operating temperature for the  
ADC12D500RF, for example:  
TJ = TA + PD × (θJC+θCA  
)
TJ = TA + PC(MAX) × (θJC+θCA  
)

For θJC, the value for the primary thermal path in the given application environment should be used (θJC1  
or θJC2). θCA is the thermal resistance from the case to ambient, which would typically be that of the heat  
sink used. Using this relationship and the desired ambient temperature, the required heat sink thermal  
resistance can be found. Alternately, the heat sink thermal resistance can be used to find the maximum  
ambient temperature. For more complex systems, thermal modeling software can be used to evaluate the  
printed circuit board system and determine the expected junction temperature given the total system  
dissipation and ambient temperature.  
6.4.6 SYSTEM POWER-ON CONSIDERATIONS  
There are a couple important topics to consider associated with the system power-on event including  
configuration and calibration, and the Data Clock.  
6.4.6.1 Power-on, Configuration, and Calibration  
Following the application of power to the ADC12D800/500RF, several events must take place before the  
output from the ADC12D800/500RF is valid and at full performance; at least one full calibration must be  
executed with the device configured in the desired mode.  
Following the application of power to the ADC12D800/500RF, there is a delay of tCalDly and then the  
Power-on Calibration is executed. This is why it is recommended to set the CalDly Pin via an external pull-  
up or pull-down resistor. This ensures that the state of that input will be properly set at the same time that  
power is applied to the ADC and tCalDly will be a known quantity. For the purpose of this section, it is  
assumed that CalDly is set as recommended.  
The Control Bits or Pins must be set or written to configure the ADC12D800/500RF in the desired mode.  
This must take place via either Extended Control Mode or Non-ECM (Pin Control Mode) before  
subsequent calibrations will yield an output at full performance in that mode. Some examples of modes  
include DES/Non-DES Mode, Demux/Non-demux Mode, and Full-Scale Range.  
The simplest case is when device is in Non-ECM and the Control Pins are set by pull-up/down resistors,  
see Figure 6-12. For this case, the settings to the Control Pins ramp concurrently to the ADC voltage.  
Following the delay of tCalDly and the calibration execution time, tCAL, the output of the ADC12D800/500RF  
is valid and at full performance. If it takes longer than tCalDly for the system to stabilize at its operating  
temperature, it is recommended to execute an on-command calibration at that time.  
Another case is when the FPGA configures the Control Pins (Non-ECM) or writes to the SPI (ECM), see  
Figure 6-13. It is always necessary to comply with the Operating Ratings and Absolute Maximum ratings,  
i.e. the Control Pins may not be driven below the ground or above the supply, regardless of what the  
voltage currently applied to the supply is. Therefore, it is not recommended to write to the Control Pins or  
SPI before power is applied to the ADC12D800/500RF. As long as the FPGA has completed writing to the  
Control Pins or SPI, the Power-on Calibration will result in a valid output at full performance. Once again,  
if it takes longer than tCalDly for the system to stabilize at its operating temperature, it is recommended to  
execute an on-command calibration at that time.  
Due to system requirements, it may not be possible for the FPGA to write to the Control Pins or SPI  
before the Power-on Calibration takes place, see Figure 6-14. It is not critical to configure the device  
before the Power-on Calibration, but it is critical to realize that the output for such a case is not at its full  
performance. Following an On-command Calibration, the device will be at its full performance.

6.4.6.2 Power-on and Data Clock (DCLK)  
Many applications use the DCLK output for a system clock. For the ADC12D800/500RF, each I- and Q-  
channel has its own DCLKI and DCLKQ, respectively. The DCLK output is always active, unless that  
channel is powered-down or the DCLK Reset feature is used while the device is in Demux Mode. As the  
supply to the ADC12D800/500RF ramps, the DCLK also comes up, see this example from the  
ADC12D800RFRB: Figure 6-15. While the supply is too low, there is no output at DCLK. As the supply  
continues to ramp, DCLK functions intermittently with irregular frequency, but the amplitude continues to  
track with the supply. Much below the low end of operating supply range of the ADC12D800/500RF, the  
DCLK is already fully operational.

6.4.7 RECOMMENDED SYSTEM CHIPS  
TI recommends these other chips including temperature sensors, clocking devices, and amplifiers in order  
to support the ADC12D800/500RF in a system design.  
6.4.7.1 Temperature Sensor  
The ADC12D800/500RF has an on-die temperature diode connected to pins Tdiode+/- which may be  
used to monitor the die temperature. TI also provides a family of temperature sensors for this application  
which monitor different numbers of external devices, see Table 6-11.

LM95235  
LM95213  
LM95214  
The temperature sensor (LM95235/13/14) is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System  
Management Bus (SMBus) interface that can monitor the temperature of one, two, or four remote diodes  
as well as its own temperature. It can be used to accurately monitor the temperature of up to one, two, or  
four external devices such as the ADC12D800/500RF, a FPGA, other system components, and the  
ambient temperature.  
The temperature sensor reports temperature in two different formats for +127.875°C/-128°C range and  
0°/255°C range. It has a Sigma-Delta ADC core which provides the first level of noise immunity. For  
improved performance in a noisy environment, the temperature sensor includes programmable digital  
filters for Remote Diode temperature readings. When the digital filters are invoked, the resolution for the  
Remote Diode readings increases to 0.03125°C. For maximum flexibility and best accuracy, the  
temperature sensor includes offset registers that allow calibration for other types of diodes.  
Diode fault detection circuitry in the temperature sensor can detect the absence or fault state of a remote  
diode: whether D+ is shorted to the power supply, D- or ground, or floating.

CAL: Calibration Enable. When this bit is set to 1b, an on-command calibration is initiated. This bit is not reset automatically  
upon completion of the calibration. Therefore, the user must reset this bit to 0b and then set it to 1b again to execute another

DEQ: DES Q-input select, a.k.a. DESQ Mode. When the device is in DES Mode, this bit selects the input that the device will  
operate on. The default setting of 0b selects the I-input and 1b selects the Q-input.  
Bit 5  
DIQ: DES I- and Q-input, a.k.a. DESIQ Mode. When in DES Mode, setting this bit to 1b shorts the I- and Q-inputs internally to  
the device. If the bit is left at its default 0b, the I- and Q-inputs remain electrically separate. In this mode, both the I- and Q-  
inputs must be externally driven; see DES/Non-DES Mode for more information.(1)  
The allowed DES Modes settings are shown below. For DESCLKIQ Mode, see Addr Eh.

CAM(11:0): Coarse Adjust Magnitude. This 12-bit value determines the amount of delay that will be applied to the input CLK  
signal. The range is 0 ps delay for CAM(11:0) = 0d to a maximum delay of 825 ps for CAM(11:0) = 2431d (±95 ps due to PVT  
variation) in steps of ~340 fs. For code CAM(11:0) = 2432d and above, the delay saturates and the maximum delay applies.  
Additional, finer delay steps are available in register Dh. Either STA (Bit 3) or SA (Addr: Dh, Bit 8) must be selected to enable  
this function.

Bits 15:7  
DRC(8:0): Delay Reference Clock (8:0). These bits may be used to increase the delay on the input reference clock when  
synchronizing multiple ADCs. The delay may be set from a minimum of 0s (0d) to a maximum of 1200 ps (319d). The delay  
remains the maximum of 1200 ps for any codes above or equal to 319d. See SYNCHRONIZING MULTIPLE  
ADC12D800/500RFS IN A SYSTEM for more information.  
Bit 6  
DCK: DESCLKIQ Mode. Set this bit to 1b to enable Dual-Edge Sampling, in which the Sampling Clock samples the I- and Q-  
channels 180º out of phase with respect to one another, i.e. the DESCLKIQ Mode. To select the DESCLKIQ Mode, Addr: 0h,  
Bits <7:5> must also be set to 000b. See Input Control and Adjust for more information.(1)  
Bit 5  
Reserved. Must be set as shown.  
Bits 4:3  
SP(1:0): Select Phase. These bits select the phase of the reference clock which is latched. The codes correspond to the  
following phase shift:  
00 = 0°  
01 = 90°  
10 = 180°  
11 = 270°  
Bit 2  
Bit 1  
Bit 0  
ES: Enable Slave. Set this bit to 1b to enable the Slave Mode of operation. In this mode, the internal divided clocks are  
synchronized with the reference clock coming from the master ADC. The master clock is applied on the input pins RCLK. If this  
bit is set to 0b, then the device is in Master Mode.  
DOC: Disable Output reference Clocks. Setting this bit to 0b sends a CLK/4 signal on RCOut1 and RCOut2. The default  
setting of 1b disables these output drivers. This bit functions as described, regardless of whether the device is operating in  
Master or Slave Mode, as determined by ES (Bit 2).  
DR: Disable Reset. The default setting of 1b leaves the DCLK_RST functionality disabled. Set this bit to 0b to enable  
DCLK_RST functionality.

NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.  
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.  
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.  
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability  
information and additional product content details.  
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.  
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that  
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.  
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between  
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.  
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight  
in homogeneous material)  
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.  
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.  
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation  
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.  
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish  
value exceeds the maximum column width.

IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other  
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest  
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and  
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale  
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.  
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms  
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary  
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily  
performed.  
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and  
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide  
adequate design and operating safeguards.  
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or  
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information  
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or  
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the  
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.  
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration  
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered  
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.  
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service  
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.  
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.  
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements  
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support  
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which  
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause  
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use  
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.  
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to  
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and  
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.  
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties  
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.  
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in  
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components  
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and  
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.  
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of  
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
