The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the ADC is limited by three different factors: quantization noise, thermal noise, and jitter, as shown in Equation 4. The quantization noise is typically not noticeable in pipeline converters and is 86 dBFS for a 14-bit ADC. The thermal noise limits SNR at low input frequencies and the clock jitter sets SNR for higher input frequencies.
The SNR limitation resulting from sample clock jitter can be calculated by Equation 5:
The total clock jitter (TJitter) has two components: the internal aperture jitter (130 fs) is set by the noise of the clock input buffer and the external clock jitter. TJitter can be calculated by Equation 6:
External clock jitter can be minimized by using high-quality clock sources and jitter cleaners as well as band-pass filters at the clock input. A faster clock slew rate also improves the ADC aperture jitter.
The ADS54J42 has a thermal noise of approximately 71.1 dBFS and an internal aperture jitter of 120 fS. SNR, depending on the amount of external jitter for different input frequencies, is shown in Figure 132.
The ADS54J42 is designed for wideband receiver applications demanding excellent dynamic range over a large input frequency range. A typical schematic for an ac-coupled receiver is shown in Figure 133.
NOTE:
GND = AGND and DGND are connected in the PCB layout.Typical applications involving transformer-coupled circuits are discussed in this section. Transformers (such as ADT1-1WT or WBC1-1) can be used up to 300 MHz to achieve good phase and amplitude balances at the ADC inputs. When designing dc-driving circuits, the ADC input impedance must be considered. Figure 134 and Figure 135 show the impedance (ZIN = RIN || CIN) across the ADC input pins.
By using the simple drive circuit of Figure 136, uniform performance can be obtained over a wide frequency range. The buffers present at the analog inputs of the device help isolate the external drive source from the switching currents of the sampling circuit.
For optimum performance, the analog inputs must be driven differentially. This architecture improves common-mode noise immunity and even-order harmonic rejection. A small resistor (5 Ω to 10 Ω) in series with each input pin is recommended to damp out ringing caused by package parasitics, as shown in Figure 136.
Figure 137 and Figure 138 show the typical performance at 170 MHz and 230 MHz, respectively.
