AD9057THEORY OF OPERATION5V The AD9057 combines Analog Devices’ proprietary MagAmp gray code conversion circuitry with flash converter technology to provide a high performance, low cost ADC. The design VREF OUT10k ⍀ architecture ensures low power, high speed, and 8-bit accuracy. AD9057 A single-ended TTL/CMOS compatible ENCODE input controls 0.110k ⍀ FVREF IN ADC timing for sampling the analog input pin and strobing the 5V digital outputs (D7–D0). An internal voltage reference (VREF AD8041 OUT) may be used to control ADC gain and offset or an exter- VIN1k ⍀ AIN(–0.5V nal reference may be applied.

The track-and-hold circuit holds the analog input value during the conversion process Figure 3. DC-Coupled AD9057 (Inverted VIN) (beginning with the rising edge of the encode command). The Voltage Reference track-and-hold’s output signal passes through the gray code and A stable and accurate 2.5 V voltage reference is built into the flash conversion stages to generate coarse and fine digital AD9057 (VREF OUT). The reference output may be used to representations of the held analog input level.

MagAmp/Flash architecture of the AD9057 results in three Some applications may require greater accuracy, improved pipeline delays for the output data. temperature performance, or gain adjustments that cannot be obtained using the internal reference. An external voltage may USING THE AD9057 be applied to the VREF IN with VREF OUT disconnected for Analog Inputs gain adjustment of up to ± 10% (the VREF IN pin is internally The AD9057 provides a single-ended analog input impedance tied directly to the ADC circuitry). ADC gain and offset will of 150 kW. The input requires a dc bias current of 6 mA (typical) vary simultaneously with external reference adjustment with a centered near 2.5 V (±10%). The dc bias may be provided by 1:1 ratio (a 2% or 50 mV adjustment to the 2.5 V reference the user or may be derived from the ADC’s internal voltage varies ADC gain by 2% and ADC input range center offset by reference. Figure 2 shows a low cost dc bias implementation 50 mV). Theoretical input voltage range versus reference input allowing the user to capacitively couple ac signals directly into voltage may be calculated from the following equations: the ADC without additional active circuitry. For best dynamic performance, the VREF OUT pin should be decoupled to VRANGE (p-p) = VREF IN/2.5 ground with a 0.1 mF capacitor (to minimize modulation of VMIDSCALE = VREF IN the reference voltage) and the bias resistor should be approxi- V mately 1 kW. A 1 kW bias resistor (± 20%) is included within TOP-OF-RANGE = VREF IN + VRANGE/2 the AD9057 and may be used to reduce application board size VBOTTOM-OF-RANGE = VREF IN – VRANGE /2 and complexity. Digital Logic (5 V/3 V Systems) The digital inputs and outputs of the AD9057 can easily be 5V configured to interface directly with 3 V or 5 V logic systems. The encode and power-down (PWRDN) inputs are CMOS VREF OUT stages with TTL thresholds of 1.5 V, making the inputs compat- ible with TTL, 5 V CMOS, and 3 V CMOS logic families. As VREF IN0.1 F with all high speed data converters, the encode signal should be 1k ⍀ clean and jitter free to prevent degradation of ADC dynamic performance.
