OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS

APPLICATION GROUPS
Burr-Brown operational amplifiers are listed in eight applications groups
described below. This helps you determine and select the best operational
amplifier available for a design. Instrumentation amplifiers and isolation
amplifiers are described in Sections 3 and 4 respectively.
LOW DRIFT
Low drift operational amplifiers are best suited for applications where
accuracy must be preserved over a substantial temperature range. These
amplifiers are optimized to minimize the initial input offset voltage and input
offset voltage change with temperature. Input offset drifts from 0.1 ~V
to
5~VrC are available within this group.

rc

LOW BIAS CURRENT
Low bias current operational amplifiers consist of FET input designs. This
group includes amplifiers with input bias currents from O.OlpA to 5OpA.
Applications with large feedback resistances or large source resistances (long
time constants, integrators, current sources, etc.) and buffer applications will
benefit by the use of low bias current amplifiers.
LOW NOISE
This group contains low noise bipolar and FET input operational amplifiers.
Burr-Brown units offer guaranteed noise spectral density, 100% tested. In
applications such as low noise signal conditioning, light measurements,
radiation measurements, photodiode circuits or low noise data acquisition,
the fully characterized and tested voltage noise performance of these units
allows the designer to truly bound noise errors.

WIDEBAND
Wideband operational amplifiers have bandwidths greater than SMHz. This
group also contains fast settling and high slew rate amplifiers. These amplifiers reduce phase errors at high frequencies and accurately reproduce
complex waveforms. These amplifiers are well suited for pulse, video, fast
settling, and multiplexing applications.
HIGH VOLTAGE
Amplifiers in this group are designed to provide large output voltage swings
and to operate on wide ranges of supply voltage. Output voltages from ±10V
and ±14SV (up to 290V, single supply) are available in this applications
group. These amplifiers provide good frequency response and performance in
other parameters. Most models have electrically isolated packages and
automatic thermal sensing and shutdown. All units have PET inputs to
minimize bias current errors when the amplifier is used with the large
resistances usually found with high-voltage amplifiers.
HIGH CURRENT
These amplifiers provide output currents from ±lA to ±lOA. They are used
with small load resistances, coax cable driving, and with power booster
applications. Many units have self-contained thermal sensing and shutdown
to automatically protect the amplifiers from overheating and damage. All of
these units have electrically isolated packages.
UNITY-GAIN BUFFER (POWER BOOSTER)
Unity-gain buffer amplifiers have a wide variety of applications. They are
used to boost the output current capability of another amplifier, buffer an
impedance that might load a critical circuit or to be an input impedance
converter from an input thai must not be loaded. These amplifiers may also be
used inside the feedback loop of another operational amplifier to form a
current~boosted composite amplifier.
SPECIAL PURPOSE
Special purpose op amps provide features or performance that don't fit
conventional categories. These include op amps specified for very wide
temperature range and devices with sWitchable inputs.

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS SELECTION GUIDES
The following Selection Guides show parameters for the high grade. Refer to
the Product Data Sheet for a full selection of grades. Models shown in
boldface are new products introduced since publication of the previous Burr-

Brown IC Data Book.

LOWDRIFf
Low offset voltage drift vs temperature performance in both FET and bipolar
input types is obtained by our sophisticated drift compensation techniques.
First, the drift is measured and then special laser trim techniques are used to
minimize the drift and the initial offset voltage at 25°C. Finally, "max drift"
performance is retested for conformance with specifications.

LOW BIAS CURRENT
Our many years of experience in designing, manufacturing and testing FET
amplifiers give us unique abilities in providing low and ultra-low bias current
op amps. These amplifiers offer bias currents as low as 75fA (75 x to-ISA) and
voltage drift as low as IJ,lVrC. With offset voltage laser-trimmed to as low
as 250J,lV, the need for expensive trim pot adjustments is eliminated.

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS GLOSSARY
COMMON·MODE INPUT IMPEDANCE
Effective impedance (resistance in parallel with capacitance) between either
input of an amplifier and its common, or ground terminal.
COMMON-MODE REJECTION (CMR)
When both inputs of a differential amplifier experience the same commonmode voltage (CMV), the output should, ideally, be unaffected. CMR is the
ratio of the common-mode input voltage change to the differential input
voltage (error voltage) which produces the same output change.

IIII

--....

CMR (in dB) =20 10g)O CMV/Error Voltage
Thus a CMR of 80dB means that IV of common-mode voltage will cause an
error of 100llV (referred to input).

I I.

S

COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE (CMV)
That portion of an input signal common to both inputs of a differential
amplifier. Mathematically it is defined as the average of the signals at the two
inputs:

COMMON·MODE VOLTAGE GAIN
Ratio of the output signal voltage (ideally zero) to the common-mode input
signal voltage.
COMMON·MODE VOLTAGE RANGE
Range of input voltage for linear, nonsaturated operation.
DIFFERENTIAL INPUT IMPEDANCE
Apparent impedance, resistance in parallel with capacitance, between the two
input terminals.

FULL POWER FREQUENCY RESPONSE
Maximum frequency at which a device can supply its peak~to-peak rated
output voltage and current, without introducing significant distortion.
GAIN-BANDWIDTH PRODUCT
Product of small signal, open-loop gain and frequency at that gain.

INPUT BIAS CURRENT
DC input current required at each input of an amplifier to provide zero output
voltage when the input signal and input offset voltage are zero. The specified
maximum is for each input.

INPUT BIAS CURRENT vs SUPPLY VOLTAGE
Sensitivity of input bias current to power supply voltages.

INPUT BIAS CtiRR~NT vs TEMPERATURE
Sensitivity of input bias current to temperature.

INPUT CURRENT NOISE
Input current that would produce, at the output of a noiseless amplifier, the
same output as that produced by the inherent noise generated internally in the
amplifier when the source resistances are large.

INPUT OFFSET CURRENT
Difference of the two input bias currents of a differential amplifier.

INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE
DC input voltage required to provide zero voltage at the output of an amplifier
when the input signal and input bias currents are zero.

INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE vs SUPPLY VOLTAGE (PSR)
Sensitivity of input offset voltage to the power supply voltages. Both power
supply voltages are changed in the same direction and magnitude over the
operating voltage range.

INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE vs TEMPERATURE (DRIFf)
Rate of change of input offset voltage with temperature. At Burr.,.Brown, this
is the change in input offset voltage from +25°C to the maximum specification
temperature, plus the change in input offset voltage from +25°C to the
minimum specification temperature, this quantity is divided by the specified
temperature range.

INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE vs TIME
The sensitivity of input offset voltage to time.

DESCRIPTION
The OPA177 and OPA77 precision bipolar op amps
feature very low offset voltage and drift. Laser-trimmed
offset, drift and input bias current virtually eliminate
the need for costly external trimming. Their high
performance and low cost make them ideally suited to
a wide range of precision instrumentation.
The low quiescent current of the OPA 177 and OPA77
dramatically reduce warm-up drift and errors due to

thermoelectric effects in input interconnections. They
provide an effective alternative to chopper-stabilized
amplifiers. The low noise of the OPAI77 and OPA77
maintains accuracy.
OPAI77 and OPA77 performance gradeouts are avail;
able. Packaging options include 8-pin plastic DIP, 8pin ceramic DIP, and SO-8 surface-mount packages.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The OPAI77 is unity-gain stable. making it easy to use and
free from osciliations in the widest range of circuitry. Applications with noisy or high impedance power supply lines
may require decoupling capacitors close to the device pins.
In most cases 0.1 JJ.F ceramic capacitors are adequate.
The OPAI77 has very low offset voltage and drift. To
achieve highest performance. circuit layout and mechanical
conditions must be optimized. Offset voltage and drift can
be degraded by small thermoelectric potentials at the op amp
inputs. Connections of dissimilar metals will generate thermal potential which can mask the ultimate performance of

by assuring that they are equal in both input terminals.
I. Keep connections made to the two input terminals close
together.
2. Locate heat sources as far as possible from the critical
input circuitry.
3. Shield the op amp and input circuitry from air currents
such as cooling fans.
OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPAl77 and OPA77 have been laser-trimmed for low
offset voltage and drift so most circuits will not require
extemal adjustment. Figure I shows the optional connection
of an external potentiometer to adjust offset voltage. This
adjustment should not be used to compensate for offsets
created elsewhere in a system since this can introduce
excessive temperature drift.

INPUT PROTECTION

The inputs of the OPAl77 and OPA77 are protected with
soon series input resistors and diode clamps as shown in the
simplified circuit diagram. The inputs can withstand ±JOV
differential inputs without damage. The protection diodes
will. of course. conduct current when the uiputs are overdriven. This may disturb the slewing behavior of unity-gain
follower applications, but will not damage the op amp.
NOISE PERFORMANCE

The noise performance of the OPAI77 and OPA77 is optimized for circuit impedances in the range of 2k{l to SOW.
Total noise in an application is a combination of the op
amp's input voltage noise and input bias current noise
reacting with circuit impedances. For applications with higher
source impedance. the OPA627 PET-input op amp will
generally provide lower noise. For very low impedance
applications, the OPA27 will provide lower noise.

FIGURE 2. Input Bias Current Cancellation.

INPUT BIAS CURRENT CANCELLATION
The input stage base current of the OPAI77 is internally
compensated with an equal and opposite cancellation current.
The resulting input bias current is the difference between the
input stage base current and the cancellation current. This
residual input bias current can be positive or negative.

When the bias current is cancelled in this manner, the input
bias current and input offset current are approximately the
same magnitude. As a result, it is not necessary to balance
the DC resistance seen at the two input tenninals (Figure 2).
A resistor added to balance the input resistances may actually
increase offset and noise.

DESCRIPTION
The OPA54I is a power operational amplifier capable
of operation from power supplies up to ±40V and
continuous output currents up to 5A. Internal current
limit circuity can be user-programmed with a single
extemal resistor, protecting the amplifier and load
from fault conditions. The OPA541 is fabricated using
a proprietary bipolar/FET process.
Pinout is compatible with popular hybrid power amplifiers such as the OPA511, OPA512 and the 3573.

The OPA541 uses a single current-limit resistor to set
both the positive and negative current limits. Applications currently using hybrid power amplifiers requiring two current-limit resistors need not be modified.
The OPA54I is available in an II-pin power plastic

package and an industry-standard 8-pin T0-3 hermetic package. The power plastic package has a copper-lead frame to maximize heat transfer. On the TO3 package, the case is isolated from all circuitry,
allowing it to be mounted directly to a heat sink
without special insulators.

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SUPPLIES
The OPAS41 is specified for operation from power supplies
up to ±40V. It can also be operated from. unbalanced or
single power supplies as long as the total power supply
voltage does not exceed SOY. The power supplies should be
bypassed with low series impedance capacitors such as
ceramic or tantalum. These should be located as near as
practical to the amplifier's power supply pins. Good power
amplifier circuit layout is, in general, like good high frequency layout. Consider the path of large power supply and
output currents. Avoid routing these connections near lowlevel input circuitry to avoid waveform distortion and oscillations.

CURRENT LIMIT
Internal current limit circuitry is controlled by a single
external resistor, RCL' Output load current flows through this
external resistor. The current limit is activated when the
voltage across this resistor is approximately a base-emitter
turn-on voltage. The value of the current limit resistor is
approximately:
AM,BMSM
AP

= 0.S09 _ 0.057

R
CL

I IUMI

R = 0.S13 _ 0.02
CL
lIuMI

Because of the intemal structure of the OPAS41, the
actual current limit depends on whether current is positive or
negative. The above RcLgives an average value. For a given
Rw +Ioor will actually be limited at about 10% below the
expected level, while -lOUT will be limited about 10% above
the expected level.
The current limit value decreases with increasing temperature due to the temperature coefficient of a base-emitter
junction voltage. Similarly, the current limit value increases
at low temperatures. Current limit versus resistor value and
temperature effects are shown in the Typical Performance
Curves. Approximate values for RCL at other temperatures
may be calculated by adjusting RCL as follows:
AR
CL

= -2mV X (T -

The adjustable current limit can be set to provide protection from short cirCuits. The safe short-circuit current depends on power supply voltage. See the discussion on Safe
Operating Area to determine the proper current limit value.

to SA, but rrns current would be 3.5A, and a current limiting
resistor with a lower power rating could be used. Some
applications (such as voice amplification) are assured of
signals with much lower duty cycles, allowing a current
resistor with a low power rating. Wire-wound resistors may
be used for ~L Some wire-wound resistors, however, have
excessive inductance and may cause loop-stability problerns. Be sure to evaluate circuit performance with resistor
type planned for production to assure proper circuit operation.

HEAT SINKING
Power amplifiers are rated by case temperature, not ambient. .
temperature as with signal op amps. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the case temperature
as shown on the power derating curve. All points on the
power derating slope produce a maximum internal junction
temperature of + 150°C. Sufficient heat sinking must be
provided to keep the case temperature within safe bounds for
the maximum ambient temperature power dissipation. The
thermal resistance of the heat sink required may be calculated by:
T CASE - T AMBIENT
8
lIS
PD (max)

=

Commercially available heat sinks often specify their thermal resistance. These ratings are often suspect, however,
since they depend greatly on the mounting environment and
air flow conditions. Actual thermal performance should be
verified by measurement of case temperature under the
required load and environmental conditions.
No insulating hardware is required when using the TO-3
package. Since mica and other similar insulators typically
add approximately 0.7°C/W thermal resistance, their elimination significantly improves thermal performance. See BurrBrown Application Note AN-S3 for further details on heat
sinking. On the power plastic. package, the metal tab is
connected to -Vs' and appropriate actions should be taken
when mounting on a heat sink or chassis.

SAFE OPERATING AREA
The safe operating area (SOA) plot provides comprehensive
information on the power handling abilities of the OPA541.
It shows the allowable output current as a function of the
voltage across the conducting output transistor (see Figure
I). This voltage is equal to the power supply voltage minus
the output voltage. For example, as the amplifier output
swings near the positive power supply voltage, the voltage
across the output transistor decreases and the device can
safely provide large output currents demanded by the load.

Since the full load current flows through RCL' it must be
selected for sufficient power dissipation. For a SA current
limit on the TO-3 package, the formula yields an ~L of
o.lOsn (0.143n on the power plastic package due to different internal resistances). A continuous SA through o.losn
would require an RCL that can dissipate 2.62SW.

Short circuit protection requires evaluation of SOA. When
the amplifier output is shorted to ground, the full power
supply voltage is impressed across the conducting output
transistor. The current limit must be set to a value which is
safe for the power supply voltage used. For instance, with Vs
±3SV, a short to ground would force 35V across the conducting power transistor. A current limit of I.SA would be safe.

Sinusoidal outputs create dissipation according to rms load
current. For the same RCL' AC peaks would still be limited

Reactive, or EMF-generating, loads such as DC motors can
present difficult SOA requirements. With a purely reactive

REPLACING HYBRID POWER AMPUFIERS
The·OPA541 can be used in applications currently using
various hybrid power amplifiers, including the OPA50l,
OPASII, OPA512, and 3573. Of course, the application
must be evaluated to assure that the output capability and
other perfonnance attributes of the OPA541 meet the necessary requirement. These hybrid power amplifiers use two
current limit resistors to independently. set the positive and
negative current limit value. Since the OPAS41 uses only
one current limit resistor to set both the positive and negative
current limit, only one resistor (see Figure 4) need be
installed. If installed, the resistor connected to pin 2 (1"0-3
package) is superfluous, but it does no hann.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
For most circuit configurations, the OPA603 current-feedback op amp can be treated like a conventional op amp. As
with a conventional op amp, the feedback network connected to the invening input controls the closed-loop gain.
But with a current-feedback op amp, the impedance of the
feedback network also controls the open-loop gain and
frequency response.
Feedback resistor values can be selected to provide a nearly
constant closed-loop bandwidth over a very wide range of
gain. This is in contrast to a cdnventional op amp where
circuit bandwidth is inversely proponional to the closedloop gain, sharply limiting bandwidth at high gain.
Figures 4a and 4b show appropriate feedback resistor values
versus closed-loop gain for maximum bandwidth with minimal peaking. The dual venical axes of these curves also
show the resulting bandwidth. Note that the bandwidth remains nearly constant as gain is increased.
With control of the open-loop characteristics of the op amp,
dynamic behavior can be tailored to an application's requirements. Lower feedback resistance gives wider bandwidth,
more frequency-response peaking and more pulse response
overshoot. The higher open-loop gain resulting from lower
feedback network resistors also yields lower distonion.
Higher feedback network resistance gives an over-damped
response with little or no peaking and overshoot. This may
be beneficial when driving capacitive loads. Feedback network impedance can also be varied to optimize dynamic
performance. To achieve wider bandwidth, use a feedback
resistor value somewhat lower than indicated in Figure 4.

EXTENDING BANDWIDTH
For gains less than approximately 20, bandwidth can be
extended by adding a capacitor, CF, in parallel with a lower
value for RF. The optimum gain-setting resistor value in this
case is far lower than those shown in Figure 1. For ±ISV
operation, select RF with the following equation:

C F will range from I pF to IOpF depending on the selected
gain, load, and circuit layout. Adjust C F to optimize bandwidth and minimize peaking. Figure 5 shows bandwidth
which can be acheived using this technique.
Typical values for this capacitor range from IpF to IOpF
depending on closed-loop gain and load characteristics. Too
large a value of C F can cause instability.

UNITY·GAIN OPERATION
As Figure 4b indicates, the OP~603 can be operated in unity
gain. A feedback resistor (approximately 2.8kO) sets the appropriate open-loop characteristics mid resistor ~ is omitted. Just as with gains greater than one, the value of the
feedback resistor (and capacitor if used) can be optimized
for the desired dynamic response and load characteristics.

Care should be exercised not to exceed the maximum differential input voltage rating of ±6V. Large input voltage steps
which exceed the device's slew rate of lOOOV/J1s can apply
excessive differential input voltage.

CIRCUIT LAVOUT
With any high-speed, wide-bandwidth circuitry, careful circuit layout will ensure best performance. Make short, direct
circuit interconnections and avoid stray wiring capacitance-especially at the inverting input pin. A component-side
ground plane will help ensure low ground impedance. Do
not place the ground plane under or near the inputs and
feedback network.
Power supplies should be bypassed with good high-frequency capacitors positioned close to the op amp pins. In
most cases, a O.OIIlF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a
2.21lF solid tantalum capacitor at each power supply pin is
adequate. The OPA603 can deliver high load current-up to
150mA peak. Applications with low impedance or capacitive loads demand large current transients from the power
supplies. It is the .power supply ·bypass capacitors which
must supply these current transients. Larger bypass capacitors such asl~F solid tanuilum capacitors may improve
performance in these applications.

POWER DISSIPATION
High output current causes increased internal power dissipation in the OPA603. Copper leadframe construction maximizes heat dissipation compared to conventional plastic
packages. To achieve best heat dissipation, solder the device
directly to the circuit board and use wide circuit board
traces. Solder the unused pins, (l~ 5 and 8) to a top-side
ground plane for improved power dissipation. Limit the load
and signal conditions depending on maximum ambient temperature to assure operation within the power derating curve.
The OPA603 may be operated at reduced power supply

voltage to minimize power dissipation. Detailed specifications are provided for both ±15V and ±5V operation.

The OPA620 is a precision wide band monolithic operational amplifier featuring very fast settling time, low
differential gain and phase error, and high output current drive capability.
The OPA620 is internally compensated for unity-gain
stability. This amplifier has a very low offset, fully
symmetrical differential input due to its "classical"
operational amplifier circuit architecture. Unlike "current-feedback" amplifier designs, the OPA620 may be

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE

The OPA620 provides a level of speed and precision not
previously attainable in monolithic form. Unlike current
feedback amplifiers, the OPA620's design uses a "Classical" operational amplifier architecture and can therefore be
used in all traditional operational amplifier applications.
While it is true that current feedback amplifiers can provide
wider bandwidth at higher gains, they offer many disadvantages. The asymmetrical input characteristics of current
feedback amplifiers (i.e. one input is a low impedance)
prevents them from being used in a variety of applications.
In addition, unbalanced inputs make input bias current errors
difficult to correct. Bias current cancellation through matching of inverting and non-inverting input resistors is impossible because the input bias currents are uncorrelated. Current noise is also asymmetrical and is usually significantly
higher on the inverting input. Perhaps most important, settling time to 0.01 % is often extremely poor due to intemal
design tradeoffs. Many current feedback designs exhibit settling times to 0.01% in excess of 10 microseconds even
though 0.1 % settling times are reasonable. Such amplifiers
are completely inadequate for fast settling 12-bit applications.
The OPA620's "Classical" operational amplifier architecture employs true differential and fully symmetrical inputs
to eliminate these troublesome problems. All traditional
circuit configurations and op amp theory apply to the
OPA620. The use of low-drift thin-film resistors allows
intemal operating currents to be laser-trimmed at waferlevel to optimize AC performance such as bandwidth and
settling time. as well as DC parameters such as input offset
voltage and drift. The result is a wide band, high-frequency
monolithic operational amplifier with a gain-bandwitdth
product of 200MHz, a 0.0 I % settling time of 25ns, and an
input offset voltage of 10011V.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS

Maximizing the OPA620's capability requires some wiring
precautions and high-frequency layout techniques. Oscillation, ringing. poor bandwidth and settling, gain peaking, and
instability are typical problems plaguing all high-speed
amplifiers when they are improperly used. In general, all
printed circuit board conductors should be wide to provide
low resistance, low impedance signal paths. They should
also be as short as possible. The entire physical circuit
should be as small as practical. Stray capacitances should be
minimized, especially at high impedance nodes, such as the
amplifier's input terminals. Stray signal coupling from the
output or power supplies to the inputs should be minimized.
All circuit element leads should be no longer than 1/4 inch
(6mm) to minimize lead inductance, and low values of
resistance should be used. This will minimize time constants
formed with the circuit capacitances and will eliminate
stray, parasitic circuits.
Tcnon~

Grounding is the most important application consideration
for the OPA620, as it is with all high-frequency circuits. Oscillations at frequencies of 200MHz and above can easily
occur if good grounding techniques are not used. A heavy
ground plane (20z copper recommended) should connect all
unused areas on the component side. Good ground planes
can reduce stray signal pickup, provide a low resistance, low
inductance common return path for signal and power, and
can conduct heat from active circuit package pins into
ambient air by convection.

Supply bypassing is extremely critical and must always be
used, especially when driving high current loads. BOth . .
power supply leads should be bypassed to ground as close as
possible to the amplifier pins. Tantalum capacitors (lJlF to
10JlF) with very short leads are recommended. Although not
required, a parallel O.01JlF ceramic may be added if desired.
Surface mount bypass capacitors will produce excellent results due to their low lead inductance. Additionally, suppression filters can be used to isolate noisy supply lines. PropIII
erly bypassed and modulation-free power supply lines allow
I I.
full amplifier output and optimum settling time performance.

I!

Points to Remember
I) Don't use point-to-point wiring as the increase in wiring
inductance will be detrimental to AC performance. However, if it must be used, very short, direct signal paths are
required. The input signal ground return, the load ground
return, and the power supply common should all be connected to the same physical point to eliminate ground loops,
which can cause unwanted feedback.
2) Good component selection is essential. Capacitors used in
critical locations should be a low inductance type with a high
quality dielectric material. Likewise, diodes used in critical
locations should be Schottky barrier types, such as HP50822835 for fast recovery and minimum charge storage. Ordinary diodes will not be suitable in RF circuits.
3) Whenever possible, solder the OPA620 directly into the
PC board without using a socket. Sockets add parasitic capacitance and inductance, which can seriously degrade AC
performance or produce oscillations. If sockets must be
used, consider using zero-profile solderless sockets such as
Augat part number 8134-HC-5P2. Alternately, Teflon standoffs located close to the amplifier's pins can be used to
mount feedback components.
4) Resistors used in feedback networks should have values
of a few hundred ohms for best performance. Shunt capacitance problems limit the acceptable resistance range to about
I ill on the high end and to a value that is within the
amplifier's output drive limits on the low end. Metal film
and carbon resistors will be satisfactory, but wirewound
resistors (even "non-inductive" types) are absolutely unacceptable in high-frequency circuits.
5) Surface mount components (chip resistors, capacitors,
etc) have low lead inductance and are therefore strongly recommended. Circuits using all surface mount components

with the OPA620KU (SOIC package) will offer the best AC
performance. The parasitic package inductance and capacitance for the SOIC is lower than the both the Cerdip and 8lead Plastic DIP.
6) Avoid overloading the output. Remember that output
current must be provided by the amplifier to drive its own
feedback network as well as to drive its load. Lowest distortion is achieved with high impedance loads.

INPUT PROTECTION
Static damage has been well recognized for MOSFET devices, but any semiconductor device deserves protection
from this .potentially damaging source. The OPA620 incorporates on-chip ESD protection diodes as shown in Figure 2.
This eliminates the. need for the user to add external protection diodes, which. can add capacitance and degrade AC
performance.

7) Don't forget that these amplifiers use ±5V supplies. Although they will operate perfectly well with +SV and-S.2V,
use of ±lSV supplies will destroy the part.
8) Standard commercial test equipment has not been designed to test devices in the OPA620's speed range. Benchtop op amp testers and ATE systems will require a special
test head to successfully test these amplifiers.
9) Terminate transmission line loads. Unterminated lines,
such as coaxial cable, can appear to the amplifier to be a
capacitive or inductive load. By terminating a transmission
line with its characteristic impedance, the amplifier's load
then appears purely resistive.
10) Plug-in prototype boards and wire-wrap boards will not
be satisfactory. A clean layout using RF techniques is essential; there are no shortcuts.
OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPA620's input offset voltage is laser-trimmed and
will require no further adjustment for most applications.
However, if additional adjustment is needed, the circuit in
Figure I can be used without degrading offset drift with
temperature. Avoid external adjustment whenever possible
since extraneous noise, such as power supply noise, can be
inadvertently coupled into the amplifier's inverting input
terminal. Remember that additional offset errors can be
created by the amplifier's input bias currents. Whenever
possible. match the impedance seen by both inputs as is
shown with R3. This will reduce input bias current errors to
the amplifier's offset current, which is typically only 0.2J,1A.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE
The OPA621 provides a level of speed and precision not
previously attainable in monolithic form. Unlike current
feedback amplifiers, the OPA621's design uses a "Classical" operational amplifier architecture and can therefore be
used in all traditional operational amplifier applications.
While it is true that current feedback amplifiers can provide
wider bandwidth at higher gains, they offer many disadvantages. The asymmetrical input characteristics of current
feedback amplifiers (i.e. one input is a low impedance)
prevents them from being used in a variety of applications.
In addition, unbalanced inputs make input bias current errors
difficult to correct. Bias current cancellation through matching of inverting and non-inverting input resistors is impossible because the input bias currents are uncorrelated. Current noise is also asymmetrical and is usually significantly
higher on the inverting input. Perhaps most important, settling time \0 0.01 % is often extremely poor due to internal
design tradeoffs. Many current feedback designs exhibit
settling times to 0.01 % in excess of 10 microseconds even
though 0.1 % settling times are reasonable. Such amplifiers
are completely inadequate for fast settling 12-bit applications.

The OPA621's "Classical" operational amplifier architecture employs true differential and fully symmetrical inputs
to eliminate these troublesome problems. All traditional
circuit configurations and op amp theory apply to the
OPA621. The use of low-drift thin-film resistors allows
internal operating currents to be laser-trimmed at waferlevel to optimize AC performance such as bandwidth and
settling time, as well as DC parameters such as input offset
voltage and drift. The result is a wideband, high-frequency
monolithic operational amplifier with a gain-bandwidth
product of 500MHz, a 0.01% settling time of 25ns, and an
input offset voltage of 100~V.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS

Maximizing the OPA621's capability requires some wiring
precautions and high-frequency layout techniques. Oscillation, ringing, poor bandwidth and settling, gain peaking, and
instability are typical problems plaguing all high-speed
amplifiers when they are improperly used. In general, all
printed circuit board conductors should be wide to provide
low resistance, low impedance signal paths. They should
also be as short as .possible; The entire physical circuit
should be as small as practical. Stray capacitances should be
minimized, especially at high impedance nodes, such as the
amplifier's input terminals. Stray signal coupling from the
output or power supplies to the inputs should be minimized.
All circuit element leads should be no longer than 1/4 inch
(6mm) to minimize lead inductance, and low values of
resistance should be used. This will minimize time constants
formed with the circuit capacitances and will eliminate
stray. parasitic circuits.
Grounding is the most important application consideration
for the OPA621. as it is with all high-frequency circuits. Os-

cillations at frequencies of 500MHz and above can easily
occur if good grounding techniques are not used. A heavy
ground plane (20z copper recommended) should connect all
unused areas on the component side. Good ground planes
can reduce stray signal pickup, provide a low resistance, low
inductance common return path for signal and power, and
can conduct heat from active circuit package pins into
ambient air by convection.
Supply bypassing is extremely critical and must always be
used, especially when driving high current loads. Both
power supply leads should be bypassed to ground as close as
possible to the amplifier pins. Tantalum capacitors (IIJF to
101JF) with very short leads are recommended. Although not
required, a parallel 0.011JF ceramic may be added if desired.
Surface mount bypass capacitors will produce excellent
results due to their low lead inductance. Additionally, suppression filters can be used to isolate noisy supply lines.
Properly bypassed and modulation-free power supply lines
allow full amplifier output and optimum settling time performance.

Points to Remember
1) Don't use point-to-point wiring as the increase in wiring

inductance will be detrimental to AC performance. However. if it must be used, very short, direct signal paths are
required. The input signal ground return, the load ground
return, and the power supply common should all be connected to the same physical point to eliminate ground loops,
which can cause unwanted feedback.
2) Good component selection is essential. Capacitors used in
critical locations should be a low inductance type with a high
quality dielectric material. Likewise, diodes used in critical
locations should be Schottky barrier types, such as HP50822835 for fast recovery and minimum charge storage. Ordinary diodes will not be suitable in RF circuits.
3) Whenever possible, solder the OPA621 directly into the
PC board without using a socket. Sockets add parasitic capacitance and inductance, which can seriously degrade AC
performance or produce oscillations. If sockets must be
used. consider using zero-profile solderless sockets such as
Augat part number 8134-HC-5P2. Alternately, Teflon'" standoffs located close to the amplifier's pins can be used to
mount feedback components.
4) Resistors used in feedback networks should have values
of a few hundred ohms for best performance. Shunt capacitance problems limit the acceptable resistance range to about
lIill on the high end and to a value that is within the
amplifier's output drive limits on the low end. Metal film
and carbon resistors will be satisfactory, but wirewound
resistors (even "non-inductive" types) .are absolutely unacceptable in high-frequency circuits.
5) Surface mount components (chip resistors, capacitors,
etc) have low lead inductance and are therefore strongly recommended. Circuits using all surface mount components
with the OPA621KU (SOIC package) will offer the best AC
performance. The parasitic package inductance and capaciTcRon3 E. T. On PenH de Nemours & Co.

tance for the SOIC is lower than the both the Cerdip and 8lead Plastic DIP.
6) Avoid overloading the output. Remember that output
current must be provided by the amplifier to drive its own
feedback network as well as to drive its load. Lowest distortion is achieved with high impedance loads.
7) Don't forget that these amplifiers use ±5V supplies. Allhough they will operate perfectly well with +5V and -5.2V,
use of ±15V supplies will destroy the part.
8) Standard commercial test equipment has not been designed to test devices in the OPA62l's speed range. Benchtop op amp testers and ATE systems will require a speCial
test head to successfully test these amplifiers.
9) Terminate transmission line loads. Unterminated lines,
such as coaxial cable, can appear to the amplifier to be a
capacitive or inductive load. By terminating a transmission
line with its characteristic impedance, the amplifier's load
then appears purely resistive.
10) Plug-in prototype boards and wire-wrap boards will not
be satisfactory. A clean layout using RF techniques is
essential; there are no shortcuts.
OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPA62l's input offset voltage is laser-trimmed and will
require no further adjustment for most applications. However. if additional adjustment is needed, the circuit in Figure
I can be used without degrading offset drift with temperature. Avoid external adjustment whenever possible since extraneous noise, such as power supply noise, can be inadvertently coupled into the amplifier's inverting input terminal.
Remember that additional offset errors can be created by the
amplifier's input bias currents. Whenever possible, match
the impedance seen by both inputs as is shown with R3. This
will reduce input bias current errors to the amplifier's offset
current. which is typically only 0.2J,lA.

CAPACITIVE LOADS
The OPA621's output stage has been optimized to drive
resistive loads as low as SOO. Capacitive loads, however,
will decrease the amplifier's phase margin which may cause
high frequency peaking or osciIIations. Capacitive loads
greater than lSpF should be buffered by connecting a small
resistance, usually SO to 2S0, in series with the output as
shown in Figure 6. This is particularly important when
driving high capacitance loads such as flash AID converters.

reduce the internal thermal rise and wiII result in cooler,
more reliable operation. At extreme temperatures and under
full load conditions a heat sink is necessary. See "Maximum
Power Dissipation" curve, Figure 4.
The internal power dissipation is given by the equation P D=
PDQ + P DL' where PDQ is the quiescent power dissipation and
P DL is the power dissipation in the output stage due to the
load. (For±Vcc= ±SV, PDQ = lOVx 28mA= 280mW, max).
For the case where the amplifier is driving a grounded load
(RL) with a DC voltage (±VOUT) the maximum value of P DL
occurs at ±VOUT = ±Vcc/2, and is equal to P DL' max =
(±Vccf/4RL' Note that it is the voltage across the output
transistor, and not the load, that determines the power dissipated in the output stage.
When the output is shorted to common PDL = SV X ISOmA
= 7S0mW. Thus. P D= 280mW + 7S0mW:; lW. Note that

COMPENSATION
The OPA621 is stable in inverting gains of ?-2VN and in
non-inverting gains ?+2VN. Phase margin for both configurations is approximately 50°. Inverting and non-inverting gains of unity should be avoided. The minimum stable
gains of +2VN and -2VN are the most demanding circuit
configurations for loop stability and oscillations are most
likely to occur in these gains. If possible, use the device in
a noise gain greater than three to improve phase margin and
reduce the susceptibility to oscillation. (Note that, from a
stability standpoint, an inverting gain of -2VN is equivalent
to a noise gain of 3.) Gain and phase response for other gains
are shown in the Typical Performance Curves.

The high-frequency response of the OPA621 in a good
layout is flat with freql1ency for higher-gain circuits. However, low-gain circuits and configurations where large feedback resistances are used, can produce high-frequency gain
peaking. This peaking can be minimized by connecting a
small capacitor in parallel with the feedback resistor. This
capacitor compensates for the closed-loop, high frequency,
transfer function zero that results from the time constant
formed by the input capacitance of the amplifier (typically
2pF after PC board mounting), and the input and feedback
resistors. The selected compensation capacitor may be a
trimmer, a fixed capacitor, or a planned PC board capacitance. The capacitance value is strongly dependent on circuit
layout and closed-loop gain. Using small resistor values will
preserve the phase margin and avoid peaking by keeping the
break frequency of this zero sufficiently high. When high
closed-loop gains are required, a three~resistor attenuator
(tee network) is recommended to avoid using large value
resistors with large time constants.
SETTLING TIME

Settling time is defined as the total time required, from the
input signal step, for the output to settle to within the

specified error band around the final value. This error band
is expressed as a percentage. of the value of the output
transition, a 2V step. Thus, settling time to 0.01 % requires
an error band of ±2oo!!V centered around the final value of
2V.
Settling time, specified in an inverting gain of two, occurs in
only 25ns to 0.01% for a 2V step, making the OPA621 one
of the fastest settling monolithic amplifiers commercially
available. Settling time increases with closed-loop gain and
output voltage change as described in the Typical Performance Curves. Preserving settling time requires critical attention to the details as mentioned under "Wiring Precautions."
The amplifier also recovers quickly from input overloads.
Overload recovery time to linear operation from a 50%
overload is typically only 30ns.
In practice, settling time measurements on the OPA621
prove to be very difficult to perform. Accurate measurement
is next to impossible in all but the very best equipped labs.
Among other things, a fast flat-top generator and high speed
oscilloscope are needed. Unfortunately, fast flat-top genera~
tors, which settle to 0.01 % in sufficient time, are scarce and
expensive. Fast oscilloscopes, however, are more commonly
available. For best results a sampling oscilloscope is recommended. Sampling scopes typically have bandwidths that
are greater than IGHz and very low capacitance inputs.
They also exhibit faster settling times in response to signals
that would tend to overload a real-time oscilloscope.
Figure 7 shows the test circuit used to measure settling time
for the OPA621. This approach uses a 16-bit sampling oscilloscope to monitor the input and output pulses. These waveforms are captured by the sampling scope, averaged, and
then subtracted from each other in software to produce the
error signal. This technique eliminates the need for the
traditional "false-summing junction," which adds extra parasitic capacitance. Note that instead of an additional flat-top
generator, this technique uses the scope's built-in calibration
source as the input signal.

DIFFERENTIAL GAIN AND PHASE

Differential Gain (DG) and Differential Phase (DP) are
among the more important specifications for video applications. DG is defined as the percent change in closed-loop
gain over a specified change in output voltage level. DP is
defined as the change in degrees of the closed-loop phase
over the same output voltage change. Both DG and DP are
specified at the NTSC sub-carrier frequency of 3.S8MHz.
DG and DP increase with closed-loop gain and output
voltage transition as shown in the Typical Performance
Curves. All measurements were performed using a Tektronix
model VM700 Video Measurement Set.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The OPA627 is unity-gain stable. The OPA637 may be used
to achieve higher speed and bandwidth in circuits with noise
gain greater than five. Noise gain refers to the closed-loop .
gain of a circuit as if the non-inverting op amp input were
being driven. For example, the OPA637 may be used in a
non-inverting amplifier with gain greater than five, or an
inverting amplifier of gain greater than four.

OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPA627/637 is laser-trimmed for low offset voltage
and drift. so many circuits will not require external adjustment. Figure 3 shows the optional connection of an external
potentiometer to adjust offset voltage. This adjustment should
not be used to compensate for offsets created elsewhere in a
system (such as in later amplification stages or in an AID
converter) because this could introduce excessive temperature drift.

When choosing between the OPA627 or OPA637, it is
important to consider the high frequericy noise gain of your
circuit configuration. Circuits with a feedback capacitor
(Figure 1) place the op amp in unity noise-gain at high
frequency. These applications must use the OPA627 for
proper stability. An exception is the circuit in Figure 2,
where a small feedback capacitance is used to compensate
for the input capacitance at the op amp's inverting input. In
this case, the closed-loop noise gain remains constant with
frequency, so if tLle closed-loop gain is equal to five or
greater. the OPA637 may be used.

NOISE PERFORMANCE
Some bipolar op amps may provide lower voltage noise
performance, but both voltage noise .and bias current noise
contribute to the total noise of a system. The OPA627/637
is unique in providing very low voltage noise and very low
current noise. This provides optimum noise performance
over a wide range of sources, including reactive source
impedances. This can be seen in the performance curve
showing the noise of a source resistor combined with the
noise of an OPA627. Above a 2kn source resistance, the op
amp contributes little additional noise. Below lkn, op amp
noise dominates over the resistor noise, but compares
favorably with precision bipolar op amps.

CIRCUIT LAYOUT
As with any high speed, wide bandwidth circuit, careful
layout will ensure best performance. Make short, direct
interconnections and avoid stray wiring capacitanceespecially at the input pins and feedback circuitry.

The case connection (pin 8 of TO-99 metal package only)
should be connected to an AC ground for lowest possible
pickup of external fields. While DC ground would be the
most likely choice, pin 8 could also be connected to either
power supply. (The case is not internally connected to the
negative power supply as it is with most common op amps.)
For lowest possible input bias current. the case may be
driven as a guard-see Input Bias Current section. Pin 8 of
the plastic DIP and SOIC versions has no internal connection.
Power supply connections should be bypassed with good
high frequency capacitors positioned close to the op amp
pins. In most cases O.lJ.lF ceramic capacitors are adequate.
The OPA627/637 is capable of high output current (in

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol. 33b

Or, Call Customer Service at 1.. 800·548·6132 (USA Only)
excess of 4SmA). Applications with low impedance loads or
capacitive loads with fast transient signals demand large
currents from the power supplies. Larger bypass capacitors
such as IllF solid tantalum capacitors may improve dynamic
performance in these applications.
INPUT BIAS CURRENT
Difet fabrication of the OPA627/637 provides very low
input bias current. Since the gate current of a FET doubles
approximately every 10°C, to achieve lowest input bias
current, the die temperature should be kept as low as possible. The high speed and therefore higher quiescent current
of the OPA627/637 can lead to higher chip temperature. A
simple press-on heat sink stich as the Burr-Brown model
807HS (TO-99 metal package) can reduce chip temperature
by approximately ISoC, lowering the IB to one-third its
warmed-up value. The 807HS heat sink can also reduce lowfrequency voltage noise caused by air currents and thermoelectric effects. See the data sheet on the 807HS for details.
Temperature rise in the plastic DIP and SOIC packages can
be minimized by soldering the device to the circuit board.
Wide copper traces will also help dissipate heat.
The OPA627/637 may also be operated at reduced power
supply voltage to minimize power dissipation and temperature rise. Using ±5V power suppiies reduces power dissipation to one-third of that at ±ISV. This reduces the IB of TO99 metal package devices to approximately one-fourth the
value at ±ISV.
Leakage currents between printed circuit board traces can
easily exceed the input bias current of the OPA627/637. A
circuit board "guard" pattern (Figure 4) reduces lealaige
effects. By surrounding critical high impedance input circuitry with a low impedance circuit connection at the same
potential, leakage current will flow harmlessly to the lowimpedance node. The case-connection (TO-99 metal pack-

age only) may also be driven at guard potential to minimize
any leakage which might occur from the input pins to the
case. The case is not internally connected to -Vs'
Input bias current may also be degraded by improper handling or cleaning. Contamination from handling parts and
circuit boards may be removed with cleaning solvents and
deionized water. Each rinsing operation should be followed
by a 30-minute bake at 8SoC.
Many FET-input op amps exhibit large changes in input bias
current with changes in input voltage. Input stage cascode
circuitry makes the input bias current of the OPA627/637
virtually constant with wide common-mode voltage changes.
Th~s is ideal for accurate high input-impedance buffer a p P I i - "
cations.
PHASE-REVERSAL PROTECTION
The OPA627/637 has internal phase-reversal protection.
Many FET-input op amps exhibit a phase reversal when the
input is driven beyond its linear common-mode range. This
is most often encountered in non-inverting circuits when the
input is driven below -12V, causing the output to reverse
into the positive rail. The input circuitry of the OPA627/637
does not induce phase reversal with excessive commonmode voltage, so the output limits into the appropriate rail.
OUTPUT OVERLOAD
When the inputs to the OPA627/637. are overdriven, the
output voltage of the OPA627/637 smoothly limits at approximately 2.SV from the positive and negative power
supplies. If driven to the negative swing limit, recovery
takes approximately SOOns. When the output is driven into
the positive limit, recovery takes approximately 6lJ.S. Output
recovery of the OPA627 can be improved using the output
clamp circuit shown in Figure S. Diodes at the inverting
input prevent degradation of input bias current. .

FIGURE 5. Clamp Circuit for Improved Overload Recovery.
CAPACITIVE LOADS
As with any high-speed op amp, best dynamic performance
ean be achieved by minimizing the capacitive load. Since a
load capacitance presents a decreasing impedance at higher
frequency. a load capacitance which.is easily driven by a
slow op amp can cause a high-speed op amp to perform
poorly. See the typical curves showing settling times as a
function of capacitive load. The lower bandwidth of the
OPA627 makes it the better choice for driving large capacitive loads. Figure 6 shows a circuit for driving very large
load capacitance. This circuit's two-pole response can also
be used· to sharply limit system bandwidth. This is often
useful in reducing the noise of systems which do not require
the full bandwidth of the OPA627.

INPUT PROTECTION
The inputs of the OPA627/637 are protected for voltages
between +Vs + 2V and -Vs - 2V. If the input voltage can
exceed these limits. the amplifier should be protected. The
diode clamps shown in Figure 7a will prevent the input
volta~e from exceeding one forward diode voltage drop
beyond the power supplies-well within the safe limits. If

the input source can deliver current in excess of the maximum forward current of the protection diodes, use'a series
resistor, Rs' to limit the current. Be aware that adding resistance to the input will increase noise. The 4n V/-.JHz theoretical thermal noise of a 11<0 resistor will add to the 4.5nV/
..JHz noise of the OPA627/637 (by the square-root of the sum
of the squares), producing a total. noise of 6nVJ-.JHz. Resistors below 1000 add negligible noise.
Leakage current in. the protection diodes can increase the
total input bias current of the circuit. The specified maximum leakage current for commonly used diodes such as the
lN4l48 is approximately 25nA-more than .a thousand
times largerthan the input bias current of the OPA627/637.
Leakage current of these diodes is typically much lower and
may be adequate in. many applications. Light faliing on the
junction of the protection diodes can dramatically increase
leakage current. so common glass-packaged diodes should
be shielded from ambient light. Very low leakage can be
achieved by using a diode-connected FET as shown. The
2N4117 A is specified at 1pA and its metal case shields the
jnnction from light.
Sometimes input protection is required on I/V converters of
inverting amplifiers (Figure 7b). Although in normal opera~
tion •.the voltage at the summing junction will be near zero
(equal. to the offset voitage of the amplifier), large input
transients may cause this node to exceed 2V beyond the
power supplies. In this case, the summing junction should be
protected with diode clamps connected to ground. Even with
the the low voltage present at the summing junction, common signal diodes may have excessive leakage current.
Since the reverse voltage on these diodes is clamped, a
diode-connected signal iransistorcan be used as an inexpensive low leakage diode (Figure 7b)_

DESCRIPTION

due to its "classical" operational amplifier circuit architecture. Unlike "current-feedback" amplifier designs,
the OPA675/676 may be used in all op amp applications
requiring high speed and precision.

The OPA675 and OPA676 are wideband monolithic
operational amplifiers with two independent differential inputs. Either input can be selected by an external
logic signal. The OPA675 is compatible with ECL
logic while the OPA676 is TIL compatible. Both amplifiers are externally compensated and feature very fast
input selection speed: ECL = 4ns, TIL = 6ns. This
amplifier features fully symmetrical differential inputs

Low distortion and crosstalk make these amplifiers
suitable for RF and video applications.
The OPA675 and OPA676 are available in KG (O°Cto
+70°C) and SG (-55°C to+125°C) grades. All grades
are packaged in a 16-pin DIP.

THEORY OF OPERATION
An OPA675 simplified circuit is shown in Figure 1. It is a
"classical" high-speed op-amp architecture with one important exception - the amplifier has two ECL logic selectable
differential input stages. An appropriate differential ECL
logic signal on A and A (labeled B Select) will tum on either
Q5 or Q6, steering operating (tail) current to either differential input pair QI and Q2 or Q3 and Q4. The input pair
receiving the tail current operates as a conventional op-amp
input stage while the de-selected input pair receiving no tail
current appears as an open circuit. The de-selected inputs
have only a few pF parasitic capacitance and in the off
condition exhibit only a very low leakage (bias) current of
about lOOpA. Two feedback networks can be connected to
each input separately allowing a wide range of circuit
applications. The feedback network connected to the se-

Temperature (·C)

lected input operates in a normal op amp fashion while the
feedback network connected to the de-selected input is
totally inactive, appearing only as an additional load to the
amplifier's output stage.
The switched-input op amp (SWOP AMP) circuit of the
OPA676 is basically the same as the OPA675 but a TTL
compatible level shifter (Figure 2) has been added to its input
selection logic circuit.
Standard TTL (OPA676) and ECL (OPA675) logic levels
may be applied. to each input selection circuit but only
350mV is typically required to switch between inputs. This
logic input sensitivity allows simpler high-speed logic driver
circuitry and it minimizes digital noise coupling into adjacent wide band analog circuitry and allows single ended ECL
inputs to be used with VDD applied to the other input.

The OPA675 and OPA676 are designed to be frequency
compensated by a single capacitor connected from pin 5 to
ground. Recommended compensation is shown in Typical
Perfonnance Curves. A small variable capacitor may be
trimmed for best bandwidth. settling time. and gain peaking.
This amplifier is designed for optimum perfonnance in gains
of 5VN to 20 VN but it can also be used over a far wider
range of gains with excellent results. Closed-loop gain/phase
(Bode) plots are shown in the Typical Perfonnance Curves.
OFFSET TRIM
Input offset voltage is low enough for many video applications. If desired. offset voltage can be trimmed with a lill
potentiometer connected to +Vcc' Trimming offset voltage in
this manner will effect both input A and input B; independent
control of input offset will require that trim adjust current be
summed into one or both inputs. This technique is shown in
a few applications circuits on the pages to follow.

APPLICATION TIPS
Wideband amplifier circuits require good layout techniques
to be successful. The use of short, direct signal paths and
heavy (20z copper recommended) ground planes are absolutely necessary to achieve the performance level inherent in
the OPA6751676. Oscillation, ringing, poor bandwith and
settling, gain peaking, and instability are typical problems
that plague all high-speed amplifiers when they are used in
poor layouts. The OPA675 and OPA676 are no different in
this respect - any amplifier with a gain bandwith product of
a few GHz requires some care be taken in its application.

Points to remember:

I.

Use a heavy copper ground plane on the component side
·of your PC board. This provides a low inductance
ground and it also conducts heat from active circuit
package pins into ambient air by convection.

2.

Bypass power supply pins directly at the active device.
The use of tantalum capacitors (1 to IO(lF/IOV) with
very short leads is highly recommended. Supply pins
should not be left unbypassed.

12. Terminate transmission line loads. Unterminated lines,
such as coaxial cable, can appear to the amplifier to be
a capacitive or inductive load. By terminating a transmission line with its characteristic impedance, the
amplifier's load then appears as a purely resistive impedance.
13. For clean, fast input selection the logic input pins should
be terminated with appropriate resistors. Resistors should
be connected from input selection pins to ground plane
with short leads. Failure to terminate long lines will
result in ringing and poor high frequency switching.
14. Plug-in prototype boards and wire-wrap boards will not
be satisfactory. A clean layout using RF techniques is
required; there is no shortcut.

Frequency = 1MHz

FIGURE 11. OPA676 Carrier Feedthrough and Switching
Transient Test Circuit.
3.

Signal paths should be short and direct. Feedback resistors, compensation capacitors, termination resistors, etc
should have lead lengths no longer than 1/4 inch (6cm).

4.

Surface mount components (chip resistors, capacitors,
etc) have low inductance and are therefore recommended. Parasitic inductance and capacitance should be
avoided if best performance is to be achieved.

5.

Resistors used in feedback networks should have values
of a few hundred ohms for best performance. Shunt capacitance problems limit the acceptable range to about
lill or on the high resistance end and to a value that is
within the amplifier's output drive limits on the low end.
Metal film and carbon compensation resistors will be
satisfactory.

6.

Wirewound resistors (even "non-inductive" types) are
absolutely unacceptable in high frequency circuits.

7.

Avoid overloading the output. Remember that output
current must be provided by the amplifier to drive its
own feedback network as well as to drive its "load."
Lowest distortion is achieved with high impedance
loads.

8.
9.

PC board traces for signal and power lines should be
wide to reduce impedance or inductance.
Don't forget that these amplifiers use ±5V supplies. Although they will operate perfectly well with +5V and
-5.2V, the use of ±15V supplies will result in destruction.

10. Standard commercial test equipment has not been designed to test devices in the OPA675/676 speed range.
Benchtop op-amp testers and ATE systems will require
a special test head to successfully test these amplifiers.
II. High-speed amplifiers can drive only a limited amount
of capacitance. If the load exceeds 10 to 20pF consider
using a fast buffer or a small resistor to isolate the capacitance from the amplifier's output. Capacitive loads
will cause loop instability if not compensated for.

DESCRIPTION
'lbe OPAIOl3 dual operational amplifier provides
precision performance in single power supply and low
power applications. It is laser trimmed for low offset
voltage and drift. greatly reducing the large errors
common with LM324-type op amps. Input offset current is also trimmed to reduce errors in high impedance
applications.
The OPAIOl3 is characterized for operation at both
+5V (single supply) and ±15V power supplies. When
Simplified Clrcuft
(Hall of Dual)

operated from a single supply, the input commonmode range includes ground and the output can swing
to within 15mV of ground. Completely independent
biasing networks eliminate interaction between the
two amplifi~ven when one is used as a comparator.
The OPAIOl3 is available in 8-pin plastic DIP and
metal TO-99 packages, specified for the O°C to 700C
and -55°C to 125°C temperature ranges.

INPUT PROTECTION

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

The circuitry of the OPAl013 is protected against overload
for input voltages ranging from the positive supply voltage
to 5V below the negative supply voltage (below ground in
single supply operation). No external protection circuitry is
required. as it is with other common single-supply op amps.

The OPAl013 is unity-gain stable. making it easy to use and
free from oscillations in the widest range of circuitry. Follow
good design practice by bypassing the power supplies close
to the op amp pins. In most cases 0.1 J1F ceramic capacitors
are adequate;

Furthermore. the OPAl013 is free from phase-reversal problems common with other single-supply op amps. When the
inputs are driven below ground (or below the negative
power supply). the output polarity remains correct.

SINGLE POWER SUPPLY OPERATION
The OPA 1013 is specified for operation from a single power·
supply. This means that linear operation continues with the
input terminals at (or even somewhat below) ground potential. When used in a non-inverting amplifier. OV input must
produce OV output. In practice. the output swing is limited
to approximately l5mV above ground with no load. Output
swing near ground can be optimized when the output load is
connected to ground. If the output must sink current. the
ability to swing near ground will be diminished. The output
swings to within approximately 200mV of ground when
sinking lmA.

COMPARATOR OPERAnON
The OPAl013 functions well as a comparator. where high

speed is not required. Sometimes. in fact. the low offset and
docile characteristics of the OPAl013 may simplify the
design of comparator circuitry. The two op amps in the
OPAl013 use completely independent bias circuitry to avoid
interaction when the inputs are over-driven. Driving one op
amp into saturation will not affect the characteristics of the
other amplifier. The outputs of the OPAl013 can drive one
TIL load. Quiescent current remains stable when the inputs
are overdriven.

The OPA2107 dual operational amplifier provides
precision D/~ perfonnance with the cost and space
savings of a dual op amp. It is useful in a wide range
of precision and low-noise analog circuitry and can be '
used to upgrade the perfonnance of designs currently
using BIFE~type amplifiers.

(8)

The OPA2107 is fabricated on a proprietary
dielectrically isolated (Dlfet) process. This holds input bias currents to very low levels without sacrificing
other important parameters. such as input offset voltage.
drift and noise. Laser-trimmed input circuitry yields
excellent DC perfonnance. Superior dynamic perfonnance is achieved, yet quiescent current is held to
under 2.5mA per amplifier. The OPA2107 is unitygain stable.

INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIERS
Instrumentation amplifiers are differential-input closed-loop
gain blocks whose committed circuit accurately amplifies the
voltage applied to their inputs, They respond mainly to the
difference between the two input signals and exhibit extremely high input impedance, both differentially and common-mode. The feedback network of this instrumentation
amplifier is included on the monolithic chip. No external
resistors are required for gains of 1. 10. 100. and 1000 in the
INA 102.
An operational amplifier. on the other hand. is an open-loop.
uncommitted device that requires external networks to close
the loop. While op amps can be used to achieve the same
basic function as instrumentation amplifiers. it is very difficult to reach the same level of performance. Using op amps
often leads to design tradeoffs when it is necessary to amplify
low-level signals in the presence of common-mode voltages
while maintaining high-input impedances. Figure 1 shows a
simplified model of an instrumentation amplifier that eliminates most of the problems associated with op amps.

THE INA102

A simplified schematic of the INAlO2 is shown on
the first page. A three-amplifier configuration is used to
provide the desirable characteristics of a premium performance instrumentation amplifier. In addition, INAlO2 has
features not normally found in integrated circuit instrumentation amplifiers.
The input buffers (AI and A z) incorporate high performance,
low-drift amplifier circuitry. The amplifiers are connected in
the noninverting configuration to provide the high input impedance (10IOn) desirable in instrumentation amplifier ap.plications. The offset voltage, and offset voltage versus
temperature, are low due to the monolithic design, and improved even further by state-of-the-art laser-trimming techniques.
The output stage (A3) is connected in a unity-gain differential amplifier configuration. A critical part of this stage is the
matching of the four 20k.{l resistors which provide the
difference function. These resistors must be initially well
matched and the matching must be maintained over temperature and time in order to retain good common-mode rejection.
All of the internal resistors are made of thin-film nichrome
on the integrated circuit. The critical resistors are lasertrimmed to provide the desired high gain accuracy and
common-mode rejection. Nichrome ensures long-term stability and provides excellent TCR and TCR tracking. This
provides gain accuracy and common-mode rejection when
the INA102 is operated over wide temperature ranges.
USING THE INA102

Figure 2 shows the simplest configuration of the INAI02.
The output voltage is a function of the differential input
voltage times the gain.
A gain of I, 10, 100, or lOOO is selected by programming pins
2 through 7 (see Table I). Notice that for the gain of 1000, a
special gain sense is provided to preserve accuracy. Although this is not always required, gain errors caused by
external resistance in series with the low value 40.04n
internal gain set resistor are thus eliminated.

Other gains between I and 10, lO and 100, and 100 and 1000
can also be obtained by connecting an external resistor
between pin 6 and either pin 2, 3, or 4, respectively (see
Figure 6 for application).
G = I + (40lRo) where Ro is the total resistance between the
two inverting inputs of the input op amps. At high gains.
where the value of Ra becomes smail, additional resistance
(i.e., relays or sockets) in the Ro circuit will contribute to a
gain error. Care should be taken to minimize this effect.
OPTIONAL OFFSET ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
It is sometimes desirable to null the input and/or output offset
to achieve higher accuracy. The quality of the potentiometer
will affect the results; therefore. choose one with good temperature and mechanical-resistance stability.

The optional offset null capabilities are shown in Figure 3. R4
adjustment affects only the input stage component of the
offset voltage. Note that the null condition will be disturbed
when the gain is changed. Also. the input drift will be
affected by approximately 0.311lVrC per 100llV of input
offset voltage that is trimmed. Therefore. care should be
taken when considering use of the control for removal of
other sources of offset. Output offset correction can be accomplished with AI' R I• Rz, and~, by applying a voltage to
Common (pin 10) through a buffer amplifier. This buffer
limits the resistance in series with pin 10 to minimize CMR
error. Resistance above o.ln will cause the common-mode
rejecti!ln to fall below 100dB. Be certain to keep this resistance low.
It is important to not exceed the input amplifiers' dynamic
range. The amplified differential input signal and its associated common-mode voltage should not cause the output of
Al or Az to exceed approximately ±12V with ±15V supplies.

OPTIONAL FILTERING
The INA 102 has provisions for accomplishing filtering with
one external capacitor between pins I I and 13. This singlepole filter can be used to reduce noise outside the signal
bandwidth, but with some degradation to AC CMR.
When it is important to preserve CMR versus frequency
(especially at 60Hz), two capacitors should be used. The
additional capacitor is connected between pins 8 and 10. This
will maintain a balance of impedances in the output stage.
Either of these capacitors could also be trimmed slightly, to
maximize CMR, if desired. Note that their ratio tracking will
affect CMR over temperature.

FIGURE 4. Optional Circuit for Externally Trimming CMR.

The INA 102 is laser-adjusted during manufacturing to assure
high CMR. However, if desired, a smaIl resistance can be
added in series with pin 10 to trim the CMR to an improved
level. Depending upon the nature of the internal imbalances,
either positive or negative resistance value could be required.
The circuit shown in Figure 4 acts as a bipolar potentiometer
and allows easy adjustment of CMR.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Many applications of instrumentation amplifiers involve the
amplification of low-level differential signals from. bridges
and transducers such as strain gages, thermocouples, and
RTDs. Some of the important parameters include commonmode rejection (differential cancellation of common-mode
offset and noise, see Figure I), input impedance,. offset

K

voltage and drift, gain accuracy, linearity. and noise. The
INAJ02 accomplishes all of these with high precision at
surprisingly low quiescent current. However. in higher gains
(> I 00). the bias current can cause a large offset error at the
output. This can saturate the output unless the source impedance is separated. e.g., two 500kn paths instead of one IMrl
unbalanced input. Figures 5 through 16 show some typical
applications circuits.

DESCRIPTION
The INA103 is an extremely low noise, low distortion monolithic instrumentation amplifier which is
especially suitable for amplification of low level
signals in audio systems. Input circuitry provides
near-theoretical limit noise performance for 2000
source impedances. A unique distortion-cancellation
network in the input stage reduces THD to extremely
low levels.
The INA 103 iseliually well-suited to preamplification and signal conditioning applications where low
noise is required. In many cases, transformer coupling can be replaced by the INA103 to reduce cost
and improve perforinance in signal conditioning
systems.
The wide supply range (±9V to ±25V) of the "INA 103
increases its versatility. A copper lead frame in the
plastic DIP package assures excellent thermal performance.

The INA103 pin configuration is compatible with the
AD625. In many applications, the INA103 can replace
the AD625 for improved performance. The INA103 is
available in 16-pin DIP packages specified for the
commercial (plastic DIP) and industrial (ceramic DIP)
temperature ranges.

DISCUSSION
OF PERFORMANCE
A simplified diagram of the INA103 is shown on the first
page. The design uses a current feedback architecture which
can be thought o( as a classical three-op-amp instrumentation
amplifier. The input stage (AI and Az) incorporates widebandwidth, low noise, low drift amplifier circuitry. The
unity-gain difference amp removes the common-mode signal
from this input stage output signal, giving a single-ended
output referred to the potential at the reference pin.
The Gain vs Frequency performance (shown in the Typical
Performance Curves) illustrates the advantage of the circuit
topology used in the INAI03: bandwidth remains nearly
constant over gain ranges from 1 to 100. This yields a gainbandwidth product (GBW) of>I00MHz at G = 1000. Gainrelated errors are greatly reduced due to this high GBW. A
distortion cancellation input stage and improved output stage
reduce THD + N to less than 0.002% from 20Hz to 20kHz.
The output can drive 200n loads with no crossover distortion
(at 1kHz).
These performance advantages make the INAI03 ideal for
instrumentation amplifier applications which require low
noise, excellent dynamic and· spectral response, and wide
bandwidth.
BASIC POWER SUPPLV
AND SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Figure 1 shows the proper connections for power supply and
signal. Supplies should be decoupled with IJ.IF tantalum
capacitors as close to the amplifier as possible. To avoid gain
and CMR errors introdliced by the external circuit, connect
grounds as indicated, being sure to minimize ground resistance. Resistance in series with the reference (pin 7) or the
sense (pin 11) will degrade CMR. Also, to maintain stability,
avoid capacitance from the output to the gain set, offset
adjust, and input pins. A suggested PC board layout is shown
in Figure 2.

FIGURE 2. Suggested PC Board Layout for INAI03. (Not
Available from Burr-Brown).
OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
As with aU instrumentation amplifiers, voltage offsets occur
in both the input and output stages of the INAI03. Inputreferred voltage offsets are multiplied by the overall gain of
the IA. Output-referred offsets are multiplied by the gain of
the output stage (usually gain = I). Input and output voltage
offsets are actively laser-trimmed to near zero at the factory;
Applications which require user voltage offset adjustment
can employ one of the methods discussed below.
Output voltage offset can be adjusted using the null pins on
the INAI03, as shown in Figure 3. Although the null pins
primarily adjust the output offset, they also have a small
effect on the input offset. For ImV of output offset change,
the input offset will change approximately 1J.lV. Also, offset
adjustment using the null pins will change the offset voltage
drift of the INAI03. For ImV of offset change, the output
offset drift changes by 3j1VfC. The change in input offset
drift is negligible.

For output voltage offset adjustment with no effect on voltage offset drift or input voltage offset. use the circuit shown
in Figure 4.
The INAI03 has no trim pins for input offset adjustment.
However. in AC coupled applications. input offset adjustment can be accomplished using the circuit shown in Figure
5.
The circuit shown in Figure 6 will provide automatic DC
restoration for the Figure 5 circuit. The low frequency rolloff of this circuit is a function of the IA gain.

The circuit shown in Figure 7 can also be used for Vos

GAIN SE.LECTION
Gain selection is accomplished by strapping together the
appropriate pins on the INA 103. Table I shows possible
gains from the internal resistors. To use the internal feedback
resistors. connect pin 13 to pin 15. and pin 2 to pin 6. Keep
the connections as short as possible to maintain accuracy.
Gains other than 1 and 100 can be set by adding an external
resistor. Ro. as shown in Figure 8. Gain accuracy is a fUflction
of resistor matching. For internal gains. accuracy is as shown
in Table I. For external Ro. accuracy is a function of the
external resistor accuracy. internal feedback resistor accuracy (typically 0.1%) and interconnection resistance (typically O.ln). The equation for choosing Ro is shown below:

(b) INA1D3 G = 1, V~

=±15V, R, = 600ll

A common problem wnh many Ie op amps and instrumentation ampliliers is shown in (a). Here, the amplifie(s input is driven beyond its linear common mode
range, lorcing the oulput 01 the amplifier Into !he supply ralls. The oulput then "folds back", i.e., a more positive input voltage now causes the oulput 01 !he amplifier
to go negative. The INA103 has protection circuitry to preVent fold·back, and as shown in (b), limits cleanly.

FIGURE 10. INAI03 Overload Condition Performance.
COMMON-MODE INPUT RANGE
For low distortion, the differential input signal and its common-mode voltage must not cause the input amplifiers' outputs to exceed their linear output range (See Max CommonModeVoltage vs Output Voltage curve). This can be avoided
by reducing the input stage gain and increasing the output
stage gain as shown in Figure 9, This is also useful for
increasing total gain.

Galn=1VN

(Od8)

Unlike some instrumentation amplifiers, the INAI03 will
limit cleanly under overload conditions. See Figure 10.
OPTIONAL COMMON-MODE REJECTiON TRIM
The INA 103 is laser-adjusted during !I1anufacturing to assure
high CMR. However, if desired, the circuit shown in Figure
II may be used to trim the CMR. Note that an approximate
+0.2% gain error is induced. .

OUTPUT SENSE
An output-sense terminal allows greater accuracy in connecting the load. By attaching this feedback point at the load, IR
drops due to load currents are eliminated since they are inside
the feedback loop. Proper connection is shown in Figure 1.
When more output current is needed, a power booster can be
placed within the feedback loop as shown in Figure 12.
Buffer errors are. reduced by the loop gain of the output
amplifier.

v.

Inductive source impedances may cause the INAI03 to
oscillate. Placing a 470pF capacitor from each input to
ground will prevent oscillation in such rare instances. Typical audio applications I!sing twisted pair or coax generally do
not require these capacitors.

APPLICATIONS
Many applications of instmmentation amplifiers involve the
amplification of low-level differential signals from bridges
and transducers such as strain gages, thermocouples, and
RTDs. Some of the important parameters include commonmode rejection (differential cancellation of common-mode
offset and noise), input impedance, offset voltage and drift,
gain accuracy, linearity and noise. The INAlO3 accomplishes all of these with high precision.
In addition, the INAI03 has been designed to provide extremely low noise and distor::::; for dynamic applications
such as microphone preamplifiers in professional-quality
mixing consoles.

FIGURE 12. Current Boosting the Output.

INPUT IMPEDANCE AND
PROTECTION CONSIDERATIONS
As with any low noise circuit, careful layout and power
supply bypassing is necessary to prevent the coupling of
noise sources into the INAlO3 through the power supply or
from EMI radiation.
A return path for the input bias currents must always be
provided. A resistor from the input to common will properly
bias floating sources such as transformers, thermocouples,
and AC-coupled inputs. This resistor should be high enough
in value to prevent loading the source. The input bias currents
flowing through these resistors will introduce a commonmode voltage to the amplifier, and caution should be exercised to assure that this common-mode voltage, in addition to
the input signal, does not cause the input amplifiers to
saturate. (See Common-Mode Input Range, above).
It is often necessary to decouple the input of the INAl03
from the source (for example, in audio mixing systems where
the INAlO3 may be placed on a buss). In this case, series
resistors may be used to decouple the input. The source
impedance presented to the INAlO3 should be as low as
possible, to minimize DC errors and noise which may result
due to the input bias current of the INAI03. In addition,
resistor values should be chosen to limit the input current to
the INA103 to lOrnA. While it is unlikely such currents
would result from a signal input, should one power supply
rail be lost due to a power supply failure or other system
fault, it is possible for large currents to flow from the other
power supply to ground through the input stage. Setting
ROECOUPLE ~ 2500 should be adequate to provide this protection. Figure 13 shows a circuit with a decoupled and protected input. A graph is included to assist in choosing the best
resistor values.

Although the INAlO3 contains internal 3ill feedback resistors to set input stage gain, external feedback resistors can be
used, as shown in Figure 14. For gains other than I or 100,
it is possible to improve gain accuracy and gain temperature

coefficient by using matched external feedback and gain set
resistors (the internal feedback resistors can have SOppm/"C
TCR). Other amplifiers, such as the AD625, have no internal
feedback resistors. When using the INAI03 to replace the

present in the existing circuit may be used (see Figure 14), or
the circuit may be modified to take advantage of the INAI03's
internal resistors.
The INAI03 input amplifiers are current feedback type. The
value of the feedback resistors affects the dynamic performance and stability. Feedback resistors less than 2.S1d1 may
result in instability. Feedback resistors larger than 31d1 will
result in reduced gain bandwidth and increased noise. For
example, feedback resistors of 201d1 will increase the gainof-lOOOinputreferred-noise of the INAI03 from InVNHzto
1.SnVr/Hz.
Figure IS is one way to make a microphone preamplifier
with the INAI03. This circuit is designed to allow the
microphone to be phantom powered, and also allows for a
20dB pad on the input. The DC restoration circuit using the
OPA627 has a low frequency cutoff of l.S9Hz, and automatically removes DC offsets from the amplified output
signal.
Figures 16 through 19 show other applications circuits.

DESCRIPTION
The INA1l7 is a precision unity-gain difference
amplifier with very high common-mode input voltage
range. It is a single monolithic Ie consisting of a.
precision op amp and integrated thin-film resistor
network. It can accurately measure small differential
voltages in the presence of common-mode signals up
to ±200V. The INAIl7 inputs are protected from
momentary common-mode or differential overloads
up to ±500V.
In many applications. where galvanic isolation is not
essential. the INA 117 can replace isolation amplifiers.
This can eliminate costly isolated input-side power
supplies and their associated ripple. noise and quiescent current. The INAll7's 0.001% nonlinearity and
200kHz bandwidth are superior to those of conventional isolation amplifiers.
The INA 117 is available in 8-pin plastic mini-DIP and
S0-8 surface-mount packages. specified for the ooe to
+700 e temperature range. The metal TO-99 models
are available specified for the -25°e to +85°e and
-55°e to +125°e temperature range.

COMMON-MODE REJECTION
Common-mode rejection (CMR) of the INA I 17 is dependent on the input resistor network. which is laser-trimmed for
accurate ratio matching. To maintain high CMR. it is important to have low source impedances driving the two inputs.
A 75.0 resistance in series with pin 2 or 3 will decrease CMR
from 86dB to 72dB.
Resistance in series with the reference pins will also degrade
CMR. A 4.0 resistance in series with pin I or 5 will decrease
CMRR from 86dB to 72dB.
Most applications do not require trimming. Figures 2 and 3
show optional circuits that may be used for trimming offset
voltage and common-mode rejection.
TRANSFER FUNCTION

difference amplifier. The transfer function is:

voltage drop across a series resistor, Rs' Figure 4 shows the
INAII7 used to measure the supply cunents of a device
under test. The circuit in Figure 5 measures the output
current of a power supply. If the power supply has a sense
connection, it can be connected to the output side of Rs to
eliminate the voltage-drop error. Another common application is current-to-voltage conversion as shown in Figure 6.

In all cases, the sense resistor imbalances the input resistor
matching of the INA 117, degrading its CMR. Also, the input
impedance of the INAl17 loads Rs' causing gain error in the
voltage-to-current conversion. Both of these errors can be
easily corrected.
The CMR error can be corrected with the addition of a
compensation resistor,1\:, equal in value to Rs as shown in
Figures 4, 5, and 6. If Rs is less than 200, the degradation
in CMR is negligible and 1\: can be omitted. If Rs is larger
than approximately 21en, trimming Rc may be required to
achieve greater than 86dB CMR. This is because the actual
INA1l7 input impedances have 1% typical mismatch.

If Rs is more than approximately 1000, the gain error will
be greater than the 0.02% specification of the INA 117. This
gain error can be corrected by slightly increasing the value
of Rs' The corrected value, Rs', can be calculated by-

,

~

Rs· 3801en

Example: For a I VIrnA transfer function, the nominal,
uncorrected value for Rs would be lien. A slightly larger
value, Rs' = 1002.60, compensates for the gain error due to
loading.
.
The 3801en term in the equation for Rs' has a tolerance of
±25%, so sense resistors above approximately 4000 may
require trimming to achieve gain accuracy better than 0.02%.
Of course, if a buffer amplifier is added as shown in Figure
7, both inputs see a low source impedance, and the sense
resistor is not loaded. As a result, there is no gain error or
CMR degradation. The buffer amplifier can operate as a
unity gain buffer or as an amplifier with noninverting gain.
Gain added ahead of the INAll7 improves both CMR and
signal-ta-noise. Added gain also allows a lower voltage drop
across the sense resistor~ The OPAl013 is a good choice for
the buffer amplifier since both its input and output can swing
close to its negative power supply.

these resistors produces approximately 5SOnVr/Hz noise.
The internal op amp contributes virtually no excess noise at
frequencies above 100Hz.
Many applications may be satisfied with less than the full
200kHz bandwidth of the INAII?ln these cases, the noise
can be reduced with a low-pass filter on the output. The twopole filter shown in Figure 9 limits bandwidth to 1kHz and
reduces noise by more than 15:1. Since the INAIl? has a
I/f noise comer frequency of approximately 100Hz, a cutoff
frequency below 100Hz will not further reduce noise.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure I shows the basic connections required for operation
of the INAI20. Applications with noisy or high impedance
power supply lines may require decoupling capacitors close
to the device pins as shown. The differential input voltage
is applied to pins 16 and 3.
The output is referred to the output common reference
terminal. pin 18. This terminal must have a low-impedance
connection to ground. A resistance of In or greater in series
with the common terminal could degrade common-mode rejection beyond the specified value.
SETTING THE GAIN

Gains of I. 10. 100 or 1000 can be configured by interconnecting the gain-set pins as shown in the table of Figure I.
These pin-strapped gains provide best gain accuracy and
drift because they are determined by the ratios of accurately
trimmed and matched on-chip resistors.
Digital gain control can be achieved using an analog multiplexer as shown in Figure 2. Since the switches are in series
with the high impedance gain-sense connections. pins 4 and
15. their series resistance does not significantly affect gain
error or drift. Gain error at G = I is slightly higher than with
direct pin connections shown in Figure 1. The gain is
selected with a two-bit address. Ao and A" The Multiplexer
Enable control is directly connected to V+ since a logic
"low" on this line would cause the input amplifiers to run
open-loop.
'Other gains may be set by connecting an external resistor.
Ro. as shown in Figure 3a. Gain accuracy using an external
gain-setting resistor is a function of Ro and the internal
20kn resistors. The internal resistors are typically within
±0.2% of nominal value and their drift under ±8Oppm/"C.
Inaccuracy and drift of Ro will contribute additional gain
error and drift.
Figure 3b snows an external gain-setting resistor connected
in parallel with internal resistors. By forming a portion of the

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement. Vol. 33b

effective Ro with internal resistors. gain accuracy and drift
can be somewhat improved.
Connections available on the INAI20 allow all input stage
gain-setting resistors to be provided externally. A custom
precision resistor network could be connected to provide the
highest accuracy and lowest gain drift for non-standard
gains. Impedance of this external network should be made
close to that of the internal network for best performance.
OFFSET TRIMMING

Many applications require no external offset voltage
trimming. Figure 4 shows optional circuits for trimming
offset voltage. Since the INAI20 has two amplification
stages. the offset voltage is comprised of two componentsthe input stage offset and output stage offset.
The input stage offset is equal to the combined offset of op
amps AI and ~. This input stage offset dominates at high
gain. When used in gains of 100 to 1000. it is often
sufficient to adjust the input stage offset with a potentiometer connected to pins 6 and 7 as shown. Connect both inputs
to ground and adjust for OV at the output. pin 1. Do not use
pins 6 and 7 to trim offset voltage at G = I or to correct for
offset in devices following the INAI20 since this can cause
excessive offset voltage drift.
At G = I. offset is dominated by the output stage. Output
stage offset can be trimmed by applying a correction voltage
at the output reference terminal. pin 18. Low impedance
must be maintained at this node to preserve the high CMR
of the INAI20. This is achieved by buffering the trim
voltage with an op amp as shown.
At intermediate gains it may be necessary to provide both
input stage and output stage offset adjustments. Again.
ground both inputs. Connect a jumper between pins 9 and II
(temporarily connects the INAI20 in high gain) and adjust
RI for OV at the output. pin 1. Then disconnect the jumper
and adjust the output offset control for OV output.

INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN PATH

The input impedance of the INAl20 is extremely highapproximately 1010n. This does not mean, however, that no
current flows in the input terminals. The input bias current
of the INA120 is typically ±lOnA (it can be either polarity).
High input impedance means that this input bias current
changes very little with varying input voltage.
Input circuitry must provide a path for this input bias current
if the INA I 20 is to function. Figure 5 shows various provisions for an input bias current path. Without an appropriate
current path. the inputs will float to a potential which

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol. 33b

exceeds the common-mode range of the INA120 and the
input amplifiers will saturate.
INPUT PROTECTION
The inputs of the INA 120 are protected for input voltages up
to 2V beyond the power supply voltages. If the input can
exceed these conditions, input clamp diodes should be provided as shown in Figure 6. Rs may not be required if the
input cannot supply more than 100rnA. If the input can
supply larger currents, choose Rs according to the maximum
source Voltage. limiting current to under 100rnA.

DISCUSSION OF
PERFORMANCE
A simplified diagmm of the PGA202/203 is shown on the
first· page. The design consists of a digitally-controlled,
differential transconductance front end stage using precision
FET buffers and the classical transimpedance output stage.
Gain switching is accomplished with a novel current steering technique that allows for fast settling when changing
gains. The result is a high performance. programmable
instrumentation amplifier with excellent speed and gain
accuracy.
The input stage uses a new circuit topology that includes
FET buffers to give extremely low input bias currents. The
differential input voltage is converted into a differential
output current with the transconductance gain selected by
steering the input stage bias current between four identical
input stages differing only in the value of the gain setting
resistor. Each input stage is individually laser-trimmed for
input offset. offset drift and gain.

OFFSET ADJUSTMENT

Figure 2 shows the offset adjustment circuits for the PGA202/
203. The input offset and the output offset are both sepamtely adjustable. Notice that because the PGA202/203 change
between four different input stages to change gain. the input
offset voltage will change slightly with gain. For systems
using computer autozeroing techniques. neither offset nor
drift is a major concern. but it should be noted that since the
input offset does change with gain. these systems should
perform an autozero cycle after each gain change for optimum performance.
In the output offset adjustment circuit. the choice of the
buffering op-amp is very important. The op-amp needs to
have low output impedance and a wide bandwidth to maintain full accumcy over the entire frequency range of the
PGA202/203. For these reasons we recommend the OPA602
as an excellent choice for this application.

The output stage is a differential transimpedance amplifier.
Unlike the classical difference amplifier output stage. the
common mode rejection is not limited by the resister matching. However. the output resistors are laser-trimmed to help
minimize the output offset and drift.
BASIC CONNECTIONS

Figure I shows the proper connection~ for power supply and
signal. The power supplies should be decoupled with II1F
tantalum capacitors placed as close to the amplifier as
possible for maximum performance. To avoid gain and
CMR errors introduced by the external components. you
should connect the grounds as indicated. Any resistance in
the sense line (pin 11) or the VREF line (pin 4) will lead to a
gain error. so these lines should be kept as short as possible.
Also to maintain stability. avoid capacitance from the output
to the input or the offset adjust pins.

GAIN SELECTION

OUTPUT SENSE

Gain selection is accomplished by the application of a 2-bit
digital word to the gain select inputs. Table I shows the gains
for the different possible values of the digital input word.
The logic inputs are referred to their own separate digital
common pin, which can be connected to any voltage between the minus supply and 8V below the positive supply.
The gains are all internally trimmed to an initial accuracy of
better than 0.1 %, so no external gain adjustment is required.
However, if necessary the gains can be increased by the use
of an external attenuator around the output stage as shown in
Figure 3. Recommended resistor values for certain selected
output gains are given in Table II.

An output sense has been provided to allow greater accuracy
in connecting the load. By attaching this feedback point to
the load at the load site, IR drops due to the load currents are
eliminated since they are inside the feedback loop. Proper
connection is shown in Figure 1. When more current is
required, a power booster can be placed in the feedback loop
as shown in Figure 4. Buffer errors are minimized by the
loop gain of the output amplifier.

OUTPUT FILTERING
The summing nodes of the output amplifier have also been
made available to allow for output filtering. By placing
matched capacitors in parallel with the existing internal
capacitors as shown in figure 5, you can lower the frequency response of the output amplifier. This will reduce the
noise of the amplifier, at the cost of a slower response. The
nominal frequency responses for some selected values of
capacitor are shown in Table 3.

FIGURE 3. Gain Increase with Buffered Attenuator.

COMMON-MODE INPUT RANGE
Unlike the classical three op-amp type of circuit, the· input
common-mode range of the PGA202/203 does not depend
on the differential input and the gain. In the standard three
op-amp circuit, the input common-mode signal must be kept
below the maximum output voltage of the input amplifier
minus 1/2 the final output voltage. If, for example, these
amplifiers can swing ±12V, then to get 12V at the output you
must restrict the input common-mode voltage to only 6V.
The circuitry of the PGA202/203 is such that the commonmode input range applies to either input pin regardless of the
output voltage.

INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
Because the PGA202/203 have FET inputs, the bilis currents
drawn through input source resistors have a negligible effect
on DC accuracy. The picoamp currents produce no more
than microvolts through megohm sources. The inputs are
also internally diode clamped to the supplies. Thus, input filtering and input series protection are easily achievable.

I
I
I

A return path for the input bias currents must always be
provided to prevent the charging of any stray capacitance.
Otherwise the amplifier could wander and saturate. A lMQ
to IOMQ resistor from the input to common will return
floating sources such as thermocouples and AC-coupled
inputs (see Applications Section, Figures 8 and 9.)

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The PGA202 and the PGA203 are fast-settling FEr input
programmable gain instrumentation amplifiers. Careful attention to minimize stray capacitance is necessary to achieve
specified performance. High source resistance will interact
with the input capacitance to reduce speed and overall
bandwidth. Also to maintain stability, avoid capacitance
from the output to the input or the offset adjust pins.

FIGURE 6. Isolated Programmable Gain Instrumentation
Amplifier.

Applications with balanced source impedance will provide
the best performance. In some applications, mismatched
source impedances may be required. If the impedance in the
negative input exceeds that in the positive input, stray
capacitance from the output will create a net negative feedback and improve the stability of the circuit. If, however, the
impedance in the positive input is greater, then the feedback
due to stray capacitance will be positive and instability may
result. The degree of positive feedback will, of course,
depend on the source impedance imbalance as well as the
board layout and the operating gain. The addition of a small
bypass capacitor of about 5 to 50pF directly across the input
terminals of the PGIA will generally eliminate any instability arising from these stray capacitances. CMR errors due to
the source imbalance will also be reduced by the addition of
this capacitor.
The PGA202 and the PGA203 are designed for fast settling
in response to changes in either the input voltage or the gain.
The bandwidth and the settling times are mostly determined
by the output stage and are therefore independent of gain,
except at the highest gain of the PGA202 where other factors
in the input stage begin to dominate.

APPLICATIONS
In addition to general purpose applications, the PGA202/203
are designed to handle two important and demanding classes
of appiications: inputs with high source impedances, and
rapid scanning data acquisition systems requiring fast settling time. Because the user has access to output sense and
, output common pins, current sources can also be constructed
with a minimum-of external components. Some basic application circuits are shown in Figures 6 through 14.

DESCRIPTION
The RCV420 is a precision current·loop receiver de·
signed to convert a 4-20mA input signal into a 05V output signal. As a monolithic circuit. it offers high
reliability at low cost. The circuit consists of a premium
grade operational amplifier. an on-chip precision resistor
network. and a precision lOY reference. The RCV420
features 0.1 % overall conversion accuracy. 86dB CMR._
and ±40V common-mode input range.
The circuit introduces only a 1.5V drop at full scale.
which is useful in loops containing extra instrument
burdens or in intrinsically safe applications where
+Vee

transmitter compliance voltage is at a premium. The
lOY reference provides a precise lOY output with a
typical drift of 5ppm!'C.
The RCV420 is completely self·contained and offers
a highly versatile function. No adjustments are needed
for gain. offset. or CMR. This provides three important
advantages over discrete. board·level designs: 1) lower
initial design cost, 2) lower manufacturing cost, and
3) easy, cost-effective field repair of a precision cir·
cuit.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Refer to the figure on the first page. For 0-5V output with 420mA input, the required transimpedance of the circuit is:
VOUT/IIN = 5V/16mA = O.3125V/mA.
To achieve the desired output levels, OV for 4mA and 5V for
20mA, the output of the amplifier must be offset by an
amount:
Vos =-(4mA)(0.3125V/mA) = -1.25V.
The input current signal is connected to either +In or -In,
depending on the polarity of the signal, and returned to
ground through the center tap, <;. The balanced input-two
matched 750 sense resistors, Rs-provides maximum rejection of common-mode voltage signals on <; and true
differential current-to-voltage conversion. The sense resistors convert the input current signal into a proportional
voltage, which is amplified by the differential amplifier. The
voltage gain of the amplifier is:
AD = 5V1(16mA)(750) = 4.1667VN.
The tee network in the feedback path of the amplifier provides a summing junction used to genemte the required-l.25V
offset voltage. The input resistor network provides highinput impedance and attenuates common-mode input voltages to levels suitable for the operational amplifier's commonmode signal capabilities.

shifting. If the Ref In pin is not used for level shifting, then
it must be grounded to maintain high CMR.

GAIN AND OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
Figure 2 shows the circuit for adjusting the RCV420 gain.
Increasing the gain of the RCV420 is accomplished by
inserting a small resistor in the feedback path of the amplifier. Increasing the gain using this technique results in CMR
degradation, and therefore, gain adjustments should be kept
as small as possible. For example, a 1% increase in gain is
typically realized with a 1250 resistor, which degmdes CMR
by about 6dB.
A decrease in gain can be achieved by placing matched
resistors in pamllel with the sense resistors, also shown in
Figure 2. The adjusted gain is given by the following expression
VOUT/IIN = 0.3125 x Rx/(Rx + Rs)'
A 1% decrease in gain can be achieved with a 7.5kO resistor.
It is important to match the parallel resistance on each sense
resistor to maintain high CMR. The TCR mismatch between
the two external resistors will effect gain error drift and CMR
drift.
There are two methods for nulling the RCV420 output offset
voltage. The first method applies to applications using the
internal 10V reference for level shifting. For these applica-

BASIC POWER SUPPLY
AND SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Figure 1 shows the proper connections for power supply and
signal. Both supplies should be decoupled with I J.lF tantalum
capacitors as close to the amplifier as possible. To avoid gain
and CMR errors introduced by the external circuit, connect
grounds as indicated, being sure to minimize ground resistance. The input signal should be connected to either +In or
-In, depending on its polarity, and returned to ground through
the center tap, <;. The output of the voltage reference, Ref
Out, should be connected to Ref In for the necessary level

tions, the voltage reference output trim procedure can be used
to null offset errors at the output of the RCV420. The voltage
reference trim circuit is discussed under "Voltage Reference."
When the voltage reference is not used for level shifting or
when large offset adjustments are required, the circuit in
Figure 3 can be used for offset adjustment. A low impedance
on the Rcv Com pin is required to maintain high CMR.

ZERO ADJUSTMENT
Level shifting the RCV420 output voltage can be achieved
using either the Ref In pin or the Rcv Com pin. The disadvantage of using the Ref In pin is that there is an 8:1 voltage
attenuation from this pin to the output of the RCV420. Thus,
use the Rev Com pin for large offsets, because the voltage on
this pin is seen directly at the output. Figure 4 shows the
circuit used to level-shift the output of the RCV420 using the

+15VDC
100kfl

I---<..-INv-< 100kn

Rev Com pin. It is important to use a low-output impedance
amplifier to maintain high CMR. With this method of zero
adjustment, the RefIn pin must be conneeted to the Rev Com
pin.

MAINTAINING COMMON-MODE REJECTION
Two factors are important in maintaining high CMR: (1)
resistor matching and tracking (the internal resistor network
does this) and (2) source impedance. CMR depends on the
accurate matching of several resistor ratios. The high accuracies needed to maintain the specified CMR and CMR
temperature coefficient are difficult and expensive to reliably
achieve with discrete components. Any resistance imbalance
introduced by external circuitry directly affects CMR. These
imbalances can occur by: mismatching sense resistors when
gain is decreased, adding resistance in the feedback path
when gain is increased, and adding series resistance on the
Rcv Com pin.
The two sense resistors are laser-trimmed to typically match
within 0.01 %; therefore, when adding parallel resistance to
decrease gain, take care to match the parallel resistance on
each sense resistor. To maintain high CMR when increasing
the gain of the RCV420, keep the series resistance added to
the feedback network as small as possible. Whether the Rcv
Com pin is grounded or connected to a voltage reference for
level shifting, keep the series resistance on this pin as low as
possible. For example, a resistance of 200· on this pin
degrades CMR from 86dB to approximately 8OdB. For
applications requiring better than 86dB CMR, the circuit
shown in Figure 5 can be used to adjust CMR.

rent conditions exceeding these specifications. Refer to Figure 6. The simplest and least expensive method is a resistor
as shown in Figure 6a. The value of the resistor is determined
from the expression
Rx = Vcc /40mA - 750
and the full scale voltage drop is
VRX =20mA x Rx
for a system operating off of a 32V supply Rx = 7250 and
VRX =14.5V.ln applications that cannot tolerate such a large
voltage drop, use circuits 6b or 6c. In circuit 6b a power JFET
and source resistor are used as a current limit. The 2000
potentiometer, Rx' is adjusted to provide a current limit of
approximately 30mA. This circuit introduces a 1-4V drop at
full scale. If only a very small series voltage drop at full scale
can be tolerated, then a 0.032A series 217 fast-acting fuse
should be used, as shown in Figure 6c.

O.OO7ppm/"C per mV of trimmed voltage. Any mismatch in
TCR between the two sides of the potentiometer will also
affect drift, but the effect is divided by approximately 5; The
trim range of the voltage reference using this method is
typically ±400mV. The voltage reference trim can be used to
trim offset errors at the output of the RCV420. There is an 8:1
voltage attenuation from Ref In to RCV Out. and thus the trim
range at the output of the receiver is typica1ly±5OmV. The highfrequency noise (to 1MHz) of the voltage reference is typically
ImVp-p. When the voltage reference is used for level shifting.
its noise contribution at the output of the receiver is typically
125~Vp-p due to the 8: 1 attenuation from Renn to RCV Out.
The reference noise can be reduced by connecting an external
capacitor between the Noise Reduction pin and ground. For
example. a O.IJlF capacitor reduces the high-frequency noise
to about 200~Vp-p at the output of the reference and about
25~ Vp-p at the output of the receiver.

ISOLATION PRODUCTS

WHAT IS AN ISOLATION AMPLIFIER?
An isolation amplifier is a device with the primary function of providing
ohmic isolation (breaking the ohmic continuity of an electrical signal)
between the input signal/circuitry and the output of the amplifier. It usually
consists of an input operational amplifier or instrumentation amplifier
followed by a unity-gain isolation stage. The sole purpose of the unity-gain
isolation stage is to completely isolate the input from the output of the
device. Ideally, the ohmic continuity of the input signal is broken (at the
isolation barrier) yet accurate signal transfer without any attenuation is
achieved across the unity-gain isolation stage. An important feature of an
isolation amplifier is that it has a completely floating input which helps
eliminate cumbersome connections to source ground.
Figures I and 2 show typical isolation amplifier applications. The isolationmode voltage V1SO is the voltage that exists across the isolation barrier. The
contribution of the output-referred error caused by V1SO is (V,So/lMRR) x
Gain where IMRR is the Isolation Mode Rejection Ratio. VSIG is the differential input signal and VeM is the common-mode voltage. Leakage Current is the current that flows across the isolation barrier with some specified
isolation voltage applied between the input and the output.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ISOLATION AMPLIFIERS
Following is a discussion of some characteristics and terms unique to
isolation amplifiers.

COMMON·MODE VOLTAGE AND ISOLATION VOLTAGE
Some manufacturers (other than Burr-Brown) treat common-mode voltage
and isolation voltages synonymously in describing the use and lor specifications of isolation amplifiers. It is important to understand the significance
of these terms and the difference between them.

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol. 33b

For Immediate Assistance, Contact Your Local Salesperson
When the input common is grounded, the differential input signal VD (see
Figure I) can be floated by the amount VCM above the input ground. VCM is
the common-mode voltage (CMV) and is generally ±lOV, limited by the
CMV rating of the input stage amplifier. In applications involving higher
systems common-mode voltages, the input common terminal is not
grounded and the common-mode voltages are referenced across the isolation barrier to the output common terminal.

Figure 1. Typical Isolation Amplifier, Current (Input) Mode.

The isolation voltage VISO shown in Figure 1 is the potential difference
between the input common and the output common terminals. The isolation
voltage rating describes the amount of voltage that the isolation barrier can
withstand without breakdown. This feature of the isolation amplifier allows
two distinct ground connections to be made when necessary. It allows the
isolation amplifier to be used in applications involving very high commonmode voltages and in applications of breaking ground loops.
Many applications involve a large "system common-mode voltage." In such
applications, the isolation amplifier's input common terminal is not connected to any ground but the output common terminal is connected to the
system ground. In such a case, the term VCM shown in Figures 1 and 2
becomes negligible and VISO determines the safe limit for the system common-mode voltage. In this manner, the isolation amplifier can accommodate
common-mode voltages of 2000V or more.

COMMON-MODE REJECTION AND ISOLATION REJECTION
Isolation-mode rejection (IMR) is another term that some other manufacturers refer to as common-mode rejection (CMR). The preceding discussion on
the common-mode voltage and isolation voltage helps recognize the difference between CMR and IMR. The CMR is the measure of the input stage
amplifier's ability to reject common-mode input signals (common-mode
with reference to the output common) while transmitting the differential
signal across the isolation barrier. The isolation-mode rejection ratio
(IMRR) is defined by the equations shown in Figures 1 and 2. Thus,
understanding the IMR capability of isolation amplifiers allows their meaningful use in applications requiring very high common-mode rejection ratios
such as l00dB to l4OdB.
ISOLATION VOLTAGE RATINGS, TEST VOLTAGE
It is important to understand the significance of the continuous derated
isolation voltage specification and its relationship to the actual test voltage
applied to the unit. Since a "continuous" test is impractical in a product
manufacturing situation (implies infinite test duration) it is generally accepted practice to perform a production test at a higher voltage than the
continuous rating for some shorter length of time.
The important consideration is then the relationship between actual test
conditions and the continuous derated minimum specification." There are
several rules of thumb used throughout the industry to establish this
relationship. For most isolation amplifiers, Burr-Brown has chosen a very

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol. 33b

4-3

For Immed/ate Ass/stance, Contact Your Local Salesperson
conservative one: VTEST =(2 X VCONTINOUSRATINO) + l000V. This relationship
is appropriate for conditions where the system transient voltages are not well
defined. * Where the real voltages are well defined or where the isolation
voltage is not continuous, the user may choose to use a less conservative
derating to establish a specification from the test voltage.
Beginning with the introduction of the IS0120 and IS0121, new introductions are being tested for partial discharge. To accommodate poorly defined
transients, the part under test is exposed to a voltage 1.6 times the continuous
rated voltage and must display a partial discharge level of SSpC in a 100%
production test. This method is described in detail in the ISO 120 data sheet.

APPLICATIONS OF ISOLATION AMPLIFIERS
When one or more of the following conditions/requirements are present in
an application, an isolation amplifier would generally be the right choice as
a signal conditioning device:
• When ohmic is~lation between the signal source and the output is a
requirement (isolation impedance between the input and the output is
>10MQ).
• When common-mode noise and voltage rejection requirements
>l00dB.

are

• When is necessary to process· signals in the presence of, or riding on, high
.
common-mode voltages (CMV» lOY).
In general, most applications can be broadly categorized irito the following
four types:
• Amplifying and measuring low level signals in the presence of high
common-mode voltages.
• Breaking ground loops and/or eliminating source ground connections.
The isolation amplifier provides full floating input, eliminating the need for
connections to source ground, and thus allowing twO-wire hook-up to the
signal sources.
• Providing an interface between medical patient monitoring equipment
and the transducer/devices that may be in physical contact with the patients.
Such applications require high isolation voltage levels and very low leakage
currents.
• Providing isolation protection to electronic instruments/equipment.
Large common-mode voltages occasionally cause· hazardous electronic
faults. The low leakage currents and high isolation voltage capabilities of
isolation amplifiers help protect instruments ag~inst damage caused by
such faults.

Isolation amplifier perfonnance requirements vary significantly, depending
on the type of requirement. In applications where bandwidth and speed of
response are more important than gain accuracy and linearity, the optically
or capacitively coupled amplifiers will be the best choice. For applications
where gain accuracy and linearity are key parameters, Burr-Brown's family
of transfonner or capacitively coupled amplifiers are the suitable choice.

DESCRIPTION
The ISOl03 isolation amplifier provides both signal
and power across an isolation barrier. The ceramic
non-hermetic hybrid package with side-brazed pins
contains a transformer-coupled DC/DC converter and
a capacitor-coupled signal channel.
Extra power is available on the isolated input side for
external input conditioning circuitry. The converter is
protected from shorts to ground with an internal current limit, and the soft-start feature .limits the initial
cunents from the power source. Multiple-channel synchronization can be accomplished by applying a TTL
clock signal to paralleled Sync pins. The Enable con-

trol is used to tum off transformer drive while keeping
the 'signal channel demodulator active. This. feature
provides a convenient way to reduce quiescent cunent
for low power applications.
The wide .barrier pin spacing and internal insulation
allow for the generous 1500Vrms continuous rating.
Reliability is assured by 100% barrier breakdown testing that conforms to UL1244 test methods. Low barrier capacitance minimizes AC leakage cunents.
These specifications and built-in features make the
ISO I 03 easy to use, as well as providing for compact
PC board layouts.

MULTICHANNEL SYNCHRONIZATION
Synchronization of multiple IS0107s can be accomplished
by connecting pin 19 of each device to an external TfL level
oscillator, as shown in Figure 6. The PWS7S0-1 oscillator is
convenient because its nominal synchronizing output frequency is 1.6MHz, resulting in a 800kHz carrier in the
IS0107 (its nominal unsynchrOriized value). The open collector outpu~ typically switches 7.SmA to a 0.2V low level
so that the external pull-up resistor can be chosen for different pull-up voltages as shown in Figure 6. The number of
channels synchronized by one PWS7S0-1 is determined by
the total capacitance of the sync voltage conductors. They
must be less than l000pF to ensure TTL level switching at
800kHz. At higher frequencies the capacitance must be proportionally lower.
Customers can supply their own TfL level synchronization
logic, provided the frequency is between 1.25MHz. and
2MHz, and the duty cycle is greater than 25%.

THEORY OF OPERATION
A CHARGE BALANCE CONVERTER
The ISO 108/109 uses a charge-balance technique to achieve
high accuracy. The heart of this technique is an analog
integrator formed by an operation amplifier, feedback capacitor, and input resistor. The integrator's output voltage is
proportional to the charge stored in the capacitor. An input
voltage develops an input current of VIN/RIN' which is forced
to flow through the integrator capacitor. This current causes
the integrator output voltage to ramp negatively.
When the output of the integrator ramps to OV, the comparator trips, triggering the one-shot. This connects the reference
current to the integrator input during the one-shot period,
T os' .This switched current causes the integrator output to
ramp positively until the one-shot period ends. Then the
cycle starts again.
The oscillation is regulated by the balance of the current (or
charge) between the input current and the time-averaged
reset current. The equation of current balance is:
lIN = IREF • Duty Cycle

VrnlRJi.I = IREF • fOUT • Tos'
where Tos is the one-shot period and fOUT is the oscillation
frequency.

Integrator

1M

10M

CONNECTIONS AND BASIC OPERATION
External connections to the IS0108 and IS0109 are made as
shown in Figure 2. The transfer function of the VFC is fo
[MHz] = (20OpF)(40k)/(Cos + 5OpF)(RJN)' For a 10V full
scale input, RIN = 401d1 for optimum performance; adjustment of Cos then determines full~scale frequency as shown in
performance curve Output Pulse Width and Full-Scale Frequency vs External One-Shot Capacitance. The fullscale
frequency is typically 3MHz with Cos =OpF.
Selection of the external resistor and capacitor type is important. Temperature drift of an external input resistor and oneshot capacitor will affect temperature stability of the output
frequency. NPO ceramic capacitors will normally produce
the best results. Silver-mica types will result in slightly
higher drift, but may be adequate in many applications. A
low-temperature coefficient ftIm resistor should be used for

RJN'
The integrator capacitor serves as a "charge bucket," where

charge is accumulated from the input, VIN' and that charge is
drained during the one-shot period. While the size of the
bucket (capacitor value) is not critical, it must not leak.
Capacitor leakage or dielectric absorption can affect the linearity and offset of the transfer function. High-quality ceramic capacitors can be used for values less than 0.01~. Use
caution with higher value ceramic capacitors. High-K ceramic capacitors may have voltage nonlinearities than can
degrade overall linearity. Polystyrene, polycarbonate, or mylar
film capacitors are superior for high values. External integrator capacitor CF detennines the integrator output voltage
swing. It is recommended only for full-scale frequencies of
100kHz and below; in these cases, use C; Cos' Decreasing
the value of C F will increase the peak-to-peak output swing,
decrease jitter, but also decrease overrange capability.

Therefore, choosing ~ for 10mA output current results in
the lowest rise-time for a given capacitive load. If a low fullscale frequency is used, a larger pull-up resistor will reduce

ENABLE PIN
The Enable pin can be left open or tied to a TfL high level
for continuous output. A TfL low level applied to this pin
will tum off the open collector output device. This feature
allows multiple outputs to be tied together for one multiplexed output line. Individual ISOVFCs are selected one at
a time with the Enable control. A multichannel ISOVFC
system is shown in Figure 3. The 7442 BCD to 10 output
decoder selects the active channel output. This is more
accurate and convenient than switching sensitive input lines.

REFERENCE VOLTAGE
Figure 2. Note (2) shows a use of the reference voltage output
to offset the input of the ISOVFC so that bipolar inputs can
be accepted. Buried zener reference circuitry is used for low
noise and excellent temperature drift. Output current is
specified to 10mA and current-limited to approximately
20mA. Excessive or variable loads on VREF can decrease
frequency stability due to internal heating. Low level input
signals should be amplified before the ISOVFC.

MEASURING OUTPUT FREQUENCY
To complete an integrating AID conversion. the output frequency of the ISOI08 and ISOI09 must be counted. Simple
frequency counting is accomplished by counting output
pulses for a reference time (usually derived from a crystal
oscillator). This can be implemented with counter/timer
peripheral chips available for many popular microprocessor
families. Many micro-controllers have counter inputs that
can be programmed for frequency measurement.
Since fOUT is an open-collector device. the negative-going
edge provides the fastest logic transition. Clocking the counter
on the falling edge will provide the best results in noisy environments. Alternately, a Schmidt trigger may be used on
the rising edge.
Frequency can also be measured by accurately timing the
period of one or more cycles of the VFC's output. Frequency
must then be computed since it is inversely proponional to
the measured period. This measurement technique can provide higher measurement resolution in shon conversion
times. It is the method used in most high-perfonnance
laboratory frequency counters. It is usually necessary to
offset the transfer function so OV input causes a fmite
frequency out. Otherwise the output period (and therefore the
conversion time) approaches infmity. See Figure 4 and
application note AN-130 for funber details on counting techniques.

FREQUENCY NOISE
Frequency noise (small random variation in the output frequency or "jitter") limits the useful resolution of fast frequency measurement techniques. Long measurement time
averages the effect of frequency noise and achieves the
maximum useful resolution. The ISOI08 and ISOI09 are
designed to minimize frequency noise and allow improved
useful resolution with short measurement times. The performance curve Frequency Count Repeatability vs Counter
Gate Time shows the effect of noise as the counter gate time
is varied. It shows the one standard deviation (lcr) count variation (as a percentage ofFS counts) versus counter gate time.

ISOLATION
BARRIER VOLTAGE
The performance of the ISOI08 and IS0109 under conditions of isolation barrier voltage modulation is indicated in
performance curve IMRR vs Frequency. An example is for
a IMHz full scale frequency and 1500Vrms, 60Hz barrier
voltage; the output frequency is modulated -13OdB R.T.I. =
±67Hz or ±67ppm. This linear modulation occurs up to the
transient immunity limit of I OkV1J.lS as indicated on performance curve Recommended Range of Isolation Voltage. Above
this level the output is interrupted and/or toggled by the
barrier transients. Even under this condition, normal operation resumes as soon as the transient subsides. Over 20kV1J.lS
can be tolerated in this mode without damage to the integrated circuits or to the ceramic high-voltage barrier.

HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING
Burr-Brown Corporation has adopted a partial discharge test
criterion that conforms to the German VDE0884 Optocou-

4-30

pier Standards. This method requires the measurement of
minute current pulses (<5pC) while applying ~2500VIl1Ill
(lS0108) or 5600Vrms (IS0109), 60Hz high-voltage stress
across every device's isolation barrier. No partial discharge
may be initiated to pass this test. This criterion confirms
transient overvoltage (1.6 x V RA~ protection without damage
to the ISOVFC. Life-test results verify the absence of failure
under continuous rated voltage and maximum temperatUre.
This new test method represents the "state of the art" for nondestructive high voltage reliability testing. It is based on the
effects of non-uniform fields existing in heterogeneous dielectric material during barrierdegnidation. In the case ofvoid
non-uniformities, electric field stress begins to ionize the
void region before bridging the entire high voltage barrier.
The transient conduction of charge during and after the
ionization can be detected externally as a burst of O.OIJ.lS0.1J.lS current pulses that repeat on each AC voltage cycle.
The minimum AC barrier voltage that initiates partial discharge is defmed as the "inception voltage." Decreasing the
barrier voltage to a lower level is required before partial
discharge ceases and is defined as the "extinction voltage."
We have designed and characterized the package to yield an
inception voltage in excess of 2500Vrms for the ISO 108 and
5600Vrms for the ISOI09 so that transient overvoltages
below this level will not cause any damage. The extinction
voltage is above 1500Vrms for the ISOI08 and 3500Vrms
for the ISOI09, so that even overvoltage-induced partial
discharge will cease once the barrier voltage is reduced to the
rated level. Older high voltage test methods relied on applying a large enough overvoltage (above rating) to catastrophically break down marginal parts, but not so high as to damage
good ones. Our new partial discharge testing gives us more
confidence in barrier reliability· than breakdown/no breakdown criteria.

Low-Cost, High-Voltage, Internally Powered
OUTPUT ISOLATION AMPLIFIER
FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

• SELF-CONTAINED ISOLATED SIGNAL
AND OUTPUT POWER

The ISOl13 output isolation amplifier provides both
signal and output power across an isolation barrier in
a small double-wide DIP package. The ceramic nonhennetic hybrid package with side-brazed pins contains a transformer-coupled DC/DC converter and a
capacitor-coupled signal channel.

• SMALL PACKAGE SIZE: Double-Wide
(0.6") Sidebraze DIP
• CONTINUOUS AC BARRIER RATING:
1500Vrms

Extra power is available on the isolated output side for
driving external loads. The converter is protected from
shorts to ground with an internal current limit, and the
soft-start feature limits the initial currents from the
power source. Multiple-channel synchronization can
be accomplished by applying a 1TL clock signal to
paralleled Sync pins. The Enable control is used to
tum off transformer drive while keeping the signal
channel modulator active. This feature provides a eonvenient way to reduce quiescent current for low power
applications.

• WIDE BANDWIDTH: 20kHz Small Signal,
20kHz Full Power
• BUILT-IN ISOLATED OUTPUT POWER:
±10V to ±18V Input, ±50mA Output
• MULTICHANNEL SYNCHRONIZATION
CAPABILITY
• BOARD AREA ONLY 0.72In.2 (4.6cmZ)

APPLICATIONS

The wide barrier pin spacing and internal insulation
allow for the generous l500Vrms continuous rating.
Reliability is assured by 100% barrier breakdown
testing that conforms to ULl244 test methods. Low
barrier capacitance minimizes AC leakage currents.

• 4mA TO 20mA VII CONVERTERS
• MOTOR AND VALVE CONTROLLERS
• ISOLATED RECORDER OUTPUTS
• MEDICAL INSTRUMENTATION OUTPUTS
• GAS ANALYZERS

These specifications and built-in features make the
ISOl13 easy to use, and provides for compact PC
board layout.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The block diagram on the front page shows the isolation

which eliminate beat frequency interference. A proprietary
800kHz oscillator chip, power MOSFET transfonner drivers, patented square core wirebonded transfonner, and single
chip diode bridge provide power to the output side of the
isolation amplifier as well as external loads. The signal

SIGNAL AND POWER CONNECTIONS
Figure 1 shows the proper power supply and signal connections. All power supply pins should be bypassed as shown
with the 7t filter for +VCCI' an option recommended if more
than ±ISmA are drawn from the isolated supply. Separate
rectifier output pins (±Vco) and amplifier supply input pins
(±Vc) allow additional ripple filtering and/or regulation. The
separate input common pin and output sense are low current
inputs tied to the signal source ground, and output load, respectively, to minimize errors'due to IR drop in long conductors. Otherwise, connect Com 1 to Gnd I, and Sense to
V OIIT at the IS0113 socket. The enable pin may be left open
if the ISOI13 is continuously operated. If not, a TTL low
level will disable the internal DC/DC converter. The Sync
input must be grounded for unsynchronized operation while

DESCRIPTION
The IS0122P is a precision isolation amplifier incorporating a novel duty cycle modulation-demodulation
technique. The signal is transmitted digitally across
a 2pF differential capacitive barrier. With digital modulation the barrier characteristics do' not affect signal
integrity, resulting in excellent reliability and good high
frequency transient immunity across the barrier. Both
barrier capacitors are imbedded in the plastic body of
the package.

The IS0122P is easy to use. No external components
are required for operation. The key specifications are
0.020% max nonlinearity, 50kHz signal bandwidth,
and 200J.lVt'C Vos drift. A power supply range of
±4.5V to ±18V and quiescent currents of ±4.5mA on
VS1 and ±5.0mA on VS2 make these amplifiers ideal
for a wide range of applications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ISOl22P isolation amplifier uses an input and an output
section galvanically isolated by matched IpF isolating capacitors built into the plastic package. The input is duty-cycle
modulated and transmitted digitally across the barrier. The
output section receives the modulated signal, converts it back
to an analog voltage and removes the ripple component
inherent in the demodulation. Input and output sections are
fabricated, then laser trimmed for exceptional Circuitry matching common to both input and output sections. The sections
are then mounted on opposite ends of the package with the
isolating capacitors mounted between the two sections.

MODULATOR
An input amplifier (AI, Figure 1) integrates the difference
between the input current (Vn/200kO) and a switched ±l 00J.tA
current source. This current source is implemented by a
switchable 2001lA source and a fixed loollA current sink. To
understand the basic operation of the modulator, assume that
VIN = O.OV. The integrator will ramp in one direction until the
comparator threshold is exceeded. The comparator and sense
amp will force the current source to switch; the resultant
signal is a triangular waveform with a 50% duty cycle. The
internal oscillator forces the current source to switch at
500kHz. The resultant capacitor drive is It complementary
duty-cycle modulation square wave.

VOUT pin equal to VIN' The sample and hold amplifiers in the
output feedback loop serve to remove undesired ripple voltages inherent in the demodulation process.

BASIC OPERATION
SIGNAL AND SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Each power supply pin should be bypassed with 1!1F tantalum capacitors located as close to the amplifier as possible.
The internal frequency of the modulator/demodulator is set at
500kHz by an internal oscillator. Therefore if it is desired to
minimize any feedthrough rtoise (beat frequencies) from a
DC/DC converter, use a 1t filter on the supplies (see Figure
4). ISOl22P output has a 500kHz ripple of 2OmV, which
can be removed with it simple two pole low-pass filter with
a 100kHz cutoff using a low cost op amp. See Figure 4.
The input to the modulator is a current (set by the 200kO
integrator input resistor) that makes it possible to have an
input voltage greater than the input supplies, as long as the
output supply is at least ±15V. It is therefore possible when
using an unregulated DC/DC converter to minimize PSR
related output errors with ±5V voltage regulators on the
isolated side and still get the full ±1OV input and output
swing. An example of this application is shown in Figure 10.

CARRIER FREQUENCY CONSIDERATIONS
DEMODULATOR
The sense amplifier detects the signal transitions across the
capacitive barrier and drives a switched current source into
integrator A2. The output stage balances the duty-cycle
modulated current against the feedback current through the
200kO feedback resistor, resulting in an average value at the

The ISO 122P amplifier transmits the signal across the isolation barrier by a 500kHz duty cycle modulation technique.
For input signals having frequencies below 250kHz, this
system works like any linear amplifier. But for frequenCies
above 250kHz. the behavior is similar to that of a sampling
amplifier. The signal response to inputs greater than 250kHz
performance curve shows this behavior graphically; at input

frequencies above 250kHz the device generates an output
signal component of reduced magnitude at a frequency
below 250kHz. This is the aliasing effect of sampling at
frequencies less than 2 times the signal frequency (the
Nyquist frequency). Note that at the carrier frequency and its
harmonics, both the frequency and amplitude of the aliasing
go to zero.
ISOLATION MODE VOLTAGE INDUCED ERRORS

IMV can induce errors at the output as indicated by the plots
of IMV vs Frequency. It should be noted that if the IMV
frequency exceeds 250kHz, the output also will display spurious outputs (aliasing), in a manner similar to that for VIN >
250kHz and the amplifier response will be identical to that
shown in the Signal Response to Inputs Greater Than 250kHz
performance curve. This occurs because IMV -induced errors
behave like input-referred error signals. To predict the total
error, divide the isolation voltage by the IMR shown in the
IMR vs Frequency curve and compute the amplifier response
to this input-referred error signal from the data given in the
Signal Response to Inputs Greater than 250kHz performance
curve. For example if a 800kHz 100DVrms IMR is present,
then a total of [( -60dB) + (-30dB)] x (IODOV) = 32mV error
signal at 200kHz plus a IV, 800kHz error signal will be
present at the output.
HIGH IMV dV/dt ERRORS

As the IMV frequency increases and the dVIdt exceeds
1OOOVIllS, the sense amp may start to false trigger, and the
output will display spurious errors. The common mode current being sent across the barrier by the high slew rate is the
cause of the false triggering of the sense amplifier. Lowering
the power supply voltages below ±15V may decrease the
dVIdt to 500V/Ils for typical performance.

HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING
Burr-Brown Corporation has adopted a partial discharge test
criterion that conforms to the German VDE0884 Optocoupier Standards. This method requires the measurement of
minute current pulses (<5pC) while applying 2400Vrrns,
60Hz high voltage stress across every IS0122 isolation barrier. No partial discharge may be initiated to pass this test.
This criterion confirms transient overvoltage (1.6 x 1500Vrrns)
protection without damage to the ISOI22. Lifetest results
verify the·absence of failure under continuous rated voltage
and maximum temperature.

This new test method represents the "state of the art" for nondestructive high voltage reliability testing. It is based on the
effects of non-uniform fields that exist in heterogeneous
dielectric material during barrier degradation. In the case of
void non-uniformities, electric field stress begins to ionize
the void region before bridging the entire high voltage
barrier. The transient conduction of charge during and after
the ionization can be detected externally as a burst of 0.01O.llls ~u~ent pulses that repeat on each AC voltage cycle.
The mmtmum AC barrier voltage that inititates partial discharge is defined as the "inception voltage." Decreasing the
barrier voltage to a lower level is required before partial
discharge ceases and is defmed as the "extinction voltage."
We have characterized and developed the package insulation
processes to yield an inception voltage in excess of 2400Vrrns
so that transient overvoltages below this level will not
damage the ISOI22. The extinction voltage is above
1500Vrms so that even overvoltage induced partial discharge
will cease once the barrier voltage is reduced to the 1500Vrrns
(rated) level. Older high voltage test methods relied on
applying a large enough overvoltage (above rating) to break
down marginal parts, but not so high as to damage good ones.
Our new partial discharge testing gives us more confidence
in barrier reliability than breakdown/no breakdown criteria.

DESCRIPTION

Isolation Barrier

The IS0212P signal isolation amplifier is a member of
a series of low-cost isolation products from BurrBrown. The low-profile SIL plastic package allows
PCB spacings of 0.5" to be achieved, and the small
footprint results in efficient use of board space.
To provide isolation, the design uses high-efficiency,
miniature loroidal transformers in both the signal and
power paths. An uncommitted input amplifier and an
isolated external bipolar supply ensure the majority of
input interfacing or conditioning needs can be met. The
IS0212P accepts an input voltage range of ±5V for
single ISV supply operation or ±2.SV for single 12V
supply operation.

OPTIONAL OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
In many applications. the untrimmed input offset voltage will
be adequate. For situations where it is necessary to trim the
offset. a potentiometer can be used. See Figure I for details.
It is important to keep the traces to the offset adjust pins as
short as practical. because noise can be injected into the input
op amp via ·this route.

DISCUSSION
OF SPECIFICATIONS
The IS0212P is intended fOl applications where isolation
and input signal conditioning are required. Best signal-tonoise perfonnance is obtained when the input amplifier gain
setting is such that the fa pin has a full scale range of ±5V.
The bandwidth is internally limited to typically 1kHz. making the device ideal for use in conjunction with sensors that
monitor slowly varying processes. To power external functions or networks. 5mA at ±8V typical is available at the
isolated port.
LINEARITY PERFORMANCE.
The IS0212P offers non-linearity perfonnance compatible
with 12-bit resolution systems (0.025%). Note that the specification is based on a best-fit straight line.

USING :J:VSSl TO POWER EXTERNAL CIRCUITRY
The DC/DC converter in the IS0212P runs at a switching
frequency of 25kHz. Internal rectification and filtering is
sufficient for most applications at low frequencies or with no
external networks cOMected.
The ripple on ±VSSI will typically be IOOmVp-p at 25kHz.
Loading the supplies will increase the ripple unless extra
filtering is added externally; a capacitor of IIJF is nonnally
sufficient for most applications. although in some cases 101JF
may be required. Noise introduced onto ±VSSI should be
decoupled to prevent degraded perfonnance.

THEORY· OF OPERATION
The IS0212P has no gaivanic connection betwee~ the. input
and output. The analog input signal referenced to the input
common (Coml)is multiplied by the gain of the input
amplifier and accurately reproduced at the output. The output
section uses a differentiai design so either the Hi or Lo pin
may be referenced to the output common (Com 2). This
allows simple input signal inversion while maintaining the
high impedance input configuration. A simplified diagram of
the IS02l2P is shown in Figure 2. The design consists of a
DC/DC converter, an uncommitted input operational amplifier, a modulator circuit and a demodulator circuit. Magnetic
isolation is provided by separate transformers in the power
and signal paths.
The DC/DC converter provides power and synchronization
signals across the isolation barrier to operate the operational
amplifier and modulator circuitry. It also has sufficient
capacity to power external input signal conditioning networks. The uncommitted operational amplifier may be
configured for signal buffering or amplification, depending
on the application.
The modulator converts the input signal to an amplitudemodulated AC signal that is magnetically coupled to the
demodulator by a.·miniature transformer providing the signal-path isolation. The demodulator recovers the input signal
from the modulated signal using a synchronous technique to
minimize noise and interference.
ABOUT THE BARRIER
For any isolation product, barrier integrity is of paramount
importance in achieving high reliability. The IS02l2P uses·
miniature toroidal transformers designed to give maximum
isolation performance when encapsulated with a high-dielectric-strength material. The internal component layout is designed so that circuitry associated with each side of the
barrier is positioned at opposite ends of the package. Areas

'.

ISOLATION VOLTAGE RATINGS
Because a long term test is impractical in a manufacturing
situation, the generally. accepted practice is to perform a
production test at. a high voltage for some shorter time. The
relationship between actual test voltage and the continuous
derated maximum specification is an important one. Historically, Burr-Brown has chosen a deliberately conservative
one: VTFSr:= (2 XACrms continuous rating) + lOOOV for ten
seconds, followed by a test at rated ACrms voltage for one
minute. This choice was appropriate for conditions where
system transients were not well defined.

Recent improvements in high voltage stress testing have
produced a more meaningful test for determining maximum
permissible voltage ratings, and Burr-Brown has chosen to
apply this new technology in the manufacture and testing of
the IS0212P.
PARTIAL DISCHARGE

When an insulation defect such as a void occurs within an
insulation system, the defect will display localized corona or
ionization during exposure to high voltage stress. This ionization requires a higher applied voltage to start the discharge
and a lower voltage to' extinguish it OIice started. The higher
start voltage is known as the inception .voltage and the lower
voltage is called the. theextiriction voltage. Just as the total
insulation system has an biception voltage, so do the individual voids. A voltage will build up across a void until its
inception voltage is reached. At this point, the void will
ionize, effectively shorting itself out. This action redistributes electrical charge within the dielectric and is known as
partial discharge. If the applied voltage; gradient across the
device continues to rise. another partial discharge. cycle

begins. The importance of this phenomenon is that if the
discharge does not occur, the insulation system retains its
integrity. If the discharge begins and is allowed to continue,
the action of the ions and electrons within the defect will
eventually degrade any organic insulation system in which
they occur. The measurement of partial discharge is both
useful in rating the devices and in providing quality control
of the manufacturing process. The inception voltage of these
voids tends to be constant, so that the measurement of total
charge being re-distributed within the dielectric is a very
good indicator of the size of the voids and their likelihood of
becoming an incipient failure.
The bulk inception voltage, on the other hand, varies with the
insulation system and the number of ionization defects. This
directly establishes the absolute maximum voltage (transient) that can be applied across the test device before
destructive partial discharge can begin.

passed to Com 2 with a O.lJ.1F ceramic capacitor as close to
the device as possible. Short leads will minimize lead inductance. A ground plane will also reduce noise problems. If a
low impedance ground plane is not used, signal common
lines, and either DIP High or DIP Low pin should be tied
directly to the ground at the supply and Com 2 returned via
a separate trace to the supply ground.
To avoid gain and isolation mode (IMR) errors introduced by
the external circuit, connect grounds as indicated in Figure 3.
Layout practices associated with isolation amplifiers are very
important. In particular, the capacitance associated with the
barrier. and series resistance in the signal and reference
leads, must be minimized. Any capacitance across the barrier
will increase AC leakage and, in conjunction with ground
line resistance. may degrade high frequency IMR.

Measuring the bulk extinction voltage provides a lower,
more conservative, voltage from which to derive a safe
continuous rating. In production, it's acceptable to measure
at a level somewhat below the expected inception voltage
and then de-rate by a factor related to expectations about the
system transients. The isolation amplifier has been extensively evaluated under a combination of high temperatures
and high voltage to confirm its performance in this respect.
The ISD212P is free of partial discharges at rated voltages.

PARTIAL DISCHARGE TESTING IN PRODUCTION
Not only does this test method provide far more qualitative
information about stress withstand levels than did previous
stress tests, but it also provides quantitative measurements
from which quality assurance and control measures can be
based. Tests similar to this test have been used by some
manufacturers such as those of high voltage power distribution equipment for some time, but they employed a simple
measurement of RF noise to detect ionization. This method
was not quantitative with regard to energy of the discharge
and was not sensitive enough for small components such as
isolation amplifiers. Now, however, manufacturers of HV
test equipment have developed means to measure partial
discharge, and VDE; the German standards group, has adopted
use of this method for the testing of optc-couplers. To
accommodate poorly defined transients, the part under test is
exposed to a voltage that is 1.6 times the continuous rated
voltage and must display <5pC partial discharge level in a
100% production test.

VOLTAGE GAIN MODIFICATIONS
The uncommitted operational amplifier at the input can be
used to provide gain, signal inversion, active filtering or
current to voltage conversion. The standard design approach
for any op-amp stage can be used; provided that the full scale
voltage appearing on fa does not exceed ±5V.
If the input op-amp is overdriven, ripple at the output will
result. To prevent this, the feedback resistor should have a
minimum value of lOW.
Also, it should be noted that the current required to drive the
equivalent impedance of the feedback network is supplied by
the internal DC/DC converter and must be taken into account
when calculating the loading added to ±VSS1 '
Since gain inversion can be incorporated in either the input
or output stage of the ISD212P, it is possible to use the input
amplifier in a non-inverting configuration and preserve the
high impedance this configuration offers. Signal inversion at
the output is easily accomplished by connecting DIP High to
Com 2 instead of DIP Low.

ISOLATED POWER OUTPUT DRIVE CAPABILITY
On the input side of the IS0212P, there are two power
supplies capable of delivering 5mA at ±8V tapowerexternal

recommended that additional decoupling in the form of 10J.lF
Umtalurrt bead capacitors be added to improve the voltage
regulation. Loss of linearity wi11 result if additional filtering
is not used with an output load. Again, power'dissipated in
the feedback loop around the input op amp must be subtracted from the available power output at ±Vss I.

Power In

Because the frequencies of several IS02l2Ps can be marginaIly different, "beat" frequencies ranging from a few Hz to a
few kHz can exist in multiple amplifier applications. The
design of the IS02l2P accommodates "internal synchronous" noise, but a synchronous beat frequency noise wi11 not
be strongly attenuated, especially at very low frequencies if
it is introduced via the power, signal, or potential grounding
paths. To overcome this problem in systems where several
IS02l2Ps are used, the design aIlows'synchroniztion of each
oscillator in a system to one frequency. Do this by forcing the
timing node on the internal osci11ator with an external driver
connected to Clk In. See Figure 5. The driver maybe an
external component with Series 4000 CMOS characteristics,
or one of the IS0212Ps in the system can be used as the
master clock for the system. See Figure 6 and 7 for connections in multiple IS0212P installations.

NOISE
Output noise is generated by residual components of the
25kHz carrier that have not'been removed from the signal.
This noise may be reduced by adding an output low pass
filter (see Figure 8). The filter time constants should be set
below the carrier frequency. The output from the IS0212P is
a switched capacitor aiJd requires a high impedance load to
prevent degradation of linearity. Loads ofless'than lMQ wi11
cause an increase in noise at the carrier frequency and will
appear as ripple in the output waveform. Since the output
signal power is generated from the input side of the barrier,
decoupling of the ±Vss 1 outputs wiIl improve the signal to
noise ratio.

SYNCHRONIZATION,
OF THE INTERNAL OSCILLATOR
The IS02l2P has an internal osci11ator and associated timing
components, which can be synchronized, incorporated into
the design. This aIleviates the requirement for an external
high-power clock driver. The typical frequency of osci11ation
is 50kHz. The internal clock will start when power is applied
to the IS0212P and Clk In is not connected.

significant. Figure 7 illustrates a method of isolating the "Clk
Out" clamp diodes (Figure 5) from this charge.
A 22kQ resistor (recommended maximum to use) together
with the 39kQ internal oscillator timing resistor (Figure 5)
forms a potential divider. The ratio of these resistors should
be greater than 0.6 which ensures that the input voltage
triggers the inverter connected to "Clk In". If using a single
resistor, then account must be taken of the paralleled timing
resistors. This means that the 22kQ resistor must be halved
to drive two IS0212Ps, or divided by 8 if driving 8 IS02I 2Ps
to insure that the ratio of greater than 0.6 is maintained. The
series resistors shown in Figure 7 reduce the high frequency
content of the power supply current.

APPLICATIONS
The IS0212P isolation amplifier, together with a few low
cost components, can isolate and accurately convert a 4-to20mA input to a ±10V output with no external adjustment. Its

In Figure 8, the IS0212P's +V", isolated supply powers a
REF200 to provide an accurate 100J,LA current source. This
current is opposed by an equal but opposite current through
the 75kQ feedback resistor to establish an offset of -7.5V at
I., = OmA. With I., =4-to-20mA, the output is -5 to +5V. The
ratio of the 75kQ and 3.12kQ resistors assures the correct
gain.
The polarity of the output can be reversed by simply reversing the OIP HI and OIP LO pins. This could be used in the
Figure 8 circuit to change the -5V to +5V output to a +5V
to -5V output range.
The primary function of the output circuitry is to add gain to
produce a ± I OV output and to reduce output impedance. The
addition of a few resistors and capacitors provides a low pass
filter with a cut-off frequency equal to the full signal bandwidth of the IS0212P, typically 200Hz. The filter response
is flat to IdB and rolls off from cut off at -12dB per octave;

-

The accuracy of the REF200 and external resistors eliminates the need for expensive trim pots and adjustments. The
errors introduced by the external circuitry only add about
10% of the IS0212P's specified gain and offset voltage
error.

TILIN is used to optionally control the frequency of the oscillator with an external TIL level frequency source. The
input frequency must be twice the desired driver frequency,
since there is an internal divide by 2 circuit to produce a 50%
duty cycle output. The input duty cycle can vary from 12%
to 95%, (see the Typical Performance Curves). When in the
free running mode the TTLIN pin must be tied to ground.

TTLoUT is used to synchronize the outputs of multiple
PWS727s and/or PWS728s to minimize beat frequency
problem. s if desired. A standard open collector output is pro- _
vided, therefore a 330 to 3.3W resistor will be necessary,
depending on the amount of stray capacitance on the TILIN
line. A maximum of 8 PWS727s or PWS728s can be connected without the use of an external TIL buffer. Connect
the TILOUT of a master unit to the TTLIN of the slave units.
An Enable pin is provided so that the driver can be shut
down to minimize power use if required. A TIL low applied
to the pin will shut down the driver within one cycle
(1.251lS). A TIL high will enable driver outputs within one
cycle. The TTLoUT will still have an 800kHz signal when a
master driver is disabled, so other synchronized drivers will
not be shut down. The pin can be left open for normal
operation.
The +VIN pin supplies power to the converter. The VD pin
connects the power to the transformer through the internal
overcurrent sense resister. The other end of the overcurrent
sense resister is tied to +VIN' A 0.3!JF bypass capacitor must
be connected to the VD pin to reduce the ripple current
through the shunt resistor, otherwise false current limit
conditions can occur due to ripple voltage peaks. During
overload conditions the output drive shuts off for approximately 80j.lS, then turns back on for 20llS, resulting in a 25%
power up duty cycle. If the overload condition still exists,
then the output will shut off again. When the fault or the
excessive load is removed, the converter resumes normal
operation.
The Sync pin can be used to synchronize the internal oscillator of an IS0120 to the operating frequency of the converter. The Sync pin is connected directly to the secondary
of the transformer, so an 800kHz square wave of twice the
output magnitude is present. Minimum pc board trace length
should be used to minimize loading the transformer. When
making the connection to the IS0120, a simple frequency
divider circuit (see Figure 3) is necessary to match the
400kHz nominal frequency required by the IS0120. If this
function is not used, leave the pin disconnected.

If the total output current drawn by all the channels exceeds
2S0mA. then it will be necessary to circumvent the current
limit circuit by leaving the VD pin of the PWS7S0-lU open.
and connect the VD pin of the PWS7S0-2U directly to the
supply.

5V OPERAl10N
With SV operation. the transformer winding current ratio is
3:1. therefore generating much greater currents in the primary. The input ripple voltage will be larger. so an input pi
filter will be necessary to isolate the converter noise from the
rest of the circuit. For example. when the output is ±lSmA
the input current will be at least 120mA.
OUTPUT CURRENT RAl1NG
The PWS7S0-1 U oscillator contains soft start circuitry to
protect the FErs from high inrush currents during tum on.
The internal input current limit is 250mA peak to prevent
thermal overload of the MOSFETs. The maximum output
rating is ±30mA. Total current. which can be drawn from
each isolation channel. is the total of the power being drawn
froni both the +V and -V outputs. For example. if one output
is not used. then maximum current can be drawn from the
other output. In all cases the maximum current that can be
drawn from any individual channel is:

1+loUTI + !-IOUT1 < 60mA
It should be noted that many analog circuit functions do not
simultaneously draw equal current from both the positive
and negative supplies.
When mUltiple channel operation is used. the maximum
current of all channels must be reduced to prevent the overcurrent limit to trip. Alternately. bypass the overcurrent by

HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING
Burr-Brown Corporation has adopted a partial discharge test
criterion that confonns to the German VDE0884 optocoupIer standard. This method requires that less than 5pC partial
discharge crosses the isolation barrier with 1200Vnns 60Hz
applied. This criterion confinns transient overvoltage (1.5 X
750Vrms) protection without damage to the PWS750-2U or
PWS750-4U. Life test results verify the absence of high
voltage breakdown under continuous rated voltage and
maximum temperature.

The minimum AC barrier voltage that initiates partial discharge above 5pC is defined as the "inception voltage."
Decreasing the barrier voltage to a lower level is required

before partial discharge ceases; this.is known as "extinction
voltage." We have developed a package insulation system to
yield an inception voltage greater than 1200Vnns so that
transient voltages below this level will not damage the isolation barrier. The extinction voltage is above 750Vnns so
that even overvoltage-induced partial discharge will cease
once the barrier voltage is reduced to the rated value.
Previous high voltage test methods relied on applying a
large· enough overvoltage (above rating) to break down
marginal units. but not so high as to permanently damage
good ones. Our partial discharge testing gives us more
confidence in barrier reliability than brealcdownlno brealcdown criteria.

ANALOG CIRCUIT FUNCTIONS

Analog circuits act as building blocks with which to perform a variety of
instrumentation, computation, and control functions. They provide a broad
range of versatile, proven, and ready to use computational functions for the
designer to use in developing simple or complex systems. The analog circuit
functions include multipliers, dividers, multifunction converters, true rms-toDC converters, logarithmic amplifiers, voltage and window comparators,
peak detectors, precision oscillators, and filters. The multifunction converters
also provide multiply, divide, square root, exponentiation, roots, sine, cosine,
arctangent, vector magnitude rms-to-DC and logarithmic amplifier functions.

5
.

The availability of these relatively complex functions as precise, versatile,
easy-to-use, low-cost building blocks has broadened the scope of practical
analog circuit systems and greatly simplified analog circuit designs. The
names of most analog circuit functions are self-explanatory and describe the
main functions they perform.
The functions are used mostly for processing and/or conditioning of analog
signals, and for simulation of algebraic and/or trigonometric analog computations. The variety of applications these functions are effectively used for is
limited only by the designer's creative imagination. Some of the interesting
applications for which analog circuit functions have found wide acceptance
are listed in the table on the following page.

Power Supplies
The ACF2101 can operate from supplies that range from
+4.SV and -IOV to ±18V. Since the output voltage integrates negatively from ground. a positive supply of +SV is
sufficient to attain specified performance. Using +SV and ISV power supplies reduces power dissipation by one-half
of that at ±ISV.

MODES OF OPERATION

The three basic modes of opemtion of each integmtor are
controlled by the Hold and Reset switches. In Integmte
mode. the output voltage integmtes negatively toward -IOV.

In Hold mode. the output voltage remains at the present
value. except for output droop. In Reset mode. the integmtion capacitor is discharged and the output voltage is driven
to analog common. See Figure 4.

use the Hold switch. connect the input current to the "Sw In"

holds the output voltage at a fixed level. For direct input.
connect the input current to the "In" pin that bypasses the
Hold switch and connects directly to the input summing

The ACF2101 switched integrator is a sampled

Careful printed circuit
must be used to minimize
external coupling from digital to analog circuitry and the
resulting charge transfer. Charge transfer results in a DC
charge offset error voltage. The ACF2IOt switches are
compensated to reduce charge transfer errors.
Since the ACF2101 switches contribute equal and opposite
charge for positive and negative logic input transitions. the
total error due to charge transfer is determined by the
switching sequence. For each switch. a logic transition

Droop
Droop is the change in the output voltage over time as a
result of the bias current of the amplifier. leakage of the
integration capacitor and leakage of the Reset and Hold
switches. Droop occurs in both the Integrate and Hold
modes of operation. Careful printed circuit layout must be
used to minimize external leakage currents as discussed
previously.
The droop is calculated by the equation:

Droop=~

C
where C is the integration capacitance in farads and the
result is in volts per second. For the internal integration
capacitance of I OOpF. the droop is calculated as:

200 x 10" IS

use as an automatic test system
useful in a wide variety of analog threshold detector
and window comparator applications.

Pm

CMPlOO. has two reference inputs and one analog
input which is common to both comparators. All inputs are attenuated by a voltage divider to provide
high common mode voltage operation. The analog
input attenuator is R-C tuned' to optimize operation,
with high-speed input waveforms. The reference input
attenuators are not RcC: tuned, Each attenuator network is followed by a buffer amplifier ahead of the
comparator circuits.
Complementary ECL output stages are capable of
driving 500 terminated transmission lines to a -2V
pull-down voltage. In addition,latch-enable inputs are
provided for each comparator, alloWing operation as a
sampling comparator.

DISCUSSION OF
SPECIFICATIONS

The propagation delay of the CMPIOO is virtually identical
for negative going and positive going analog input edges.

Differential Propagation Delay (Skew),

ANALOG INPUT
Offset Voltage, Vos
The value of the the comparison threshold for V REF lor V REF 2
= OV. Vos and maximum drift vs temperature of Vos are
guaranteed.

Propagation Delay Dispersion
Propagation Delay Dispersion is the variation in propagation
delay versus input overdrive. Note that propagation delay
may also be a function of input slew rate and of the previous
level.

Common Mode Error
As V REF varies over its range, there is a small gain error
which manifests itself as a change in the comparison level.
Common mode error drifts typically -15IlV/"C.

The input waveform for the propagation delay specification
is illustrated in the first typical performance curve, Propagation Delay vs Overdrive. The Propagation Delay listed in the
Electrical Specifications table is specified using an input
waveform with lOOmV overdrive, a previous level of -200mV
and a slew rate of 200V/!lS. A typical propagation delay
curve is also shown for a previous level of -I V. The outputs
are not latched for this specification.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Figure 1 illustrates the following analog and logic performance definitions.

Input to Output High Propagation Delay,

tpDH

tpOH is the propagation delay measured from the time the
input signal crosses the input offset voltage to the 50% point
of an output (Q output) Low-to-High transition. Output logic
is not latched for this definition.

Input to Output Low Propagation Delay,

tDlFF

tDlFF is the difference in propagation delay from one comparator to another. The skew between each half of one
CMPIOO is no greater than 200ps.

Overdrive
Overdrive is the voltage by which the input exceeds

VREF ±Vos'
Minimum Set·Up Time,

tpDL

tpOL is the propagation delay measured from the time the
input signal crosses the input offset voltage to the 50% point
of an output (Q output) High-to-Low transition. Output logic
is not latched for this definition.

Low-to-High transition.
Latch Enable to Output Low Delay, t DLoL
tOLOL is the propagation delay of latch logic circuits measured from the 50% point of the Latch Enable signal High-toLow transition to the 50% point of an output (Q) High-toLow transition.
Minimum latch Enable Pulse Width, tpw
tpw is the minimum time that the Latch Enable (LE) must be
High in order to acquire and hold an input signal change.
The actual timing perfonnance of CMPIOO is illustrated in
the Typical Perfonnance Curves.

OPERATING
CONSIDERATIONS
INPUT VOLTAGE

THE lATCH FUNCTION
The latch function is used for sampling the state of the
outputs and holding them until the output can be processed.
Figure I shows a timing diagram for differential input latch
enable controls, LE and LE. The latches of the CMPIOO are
transparent type latches. If LE is Low (LE is High), the Q
outputs indicate the sign of the' input difference voltage.
When LE goes High (LE Low), the comparator outputs are
held at the current state.
When the analog input signal passes through the reference
level, the comparator output Q changes, after a time of tpoH
or tpOL ' However, if the output is to be latched, the input
signal must have crossed the threshold for a time ts (set-up
time) before the rising edge of LE occurs in order to capture
the correct output state. On the other hand, in order to
capture a correct output state just before it changes, it is
necessary to maintain that output state for tH, (hold time)
after the rising edge of LE. tH = 0 for CMPlOO.
A minimum latch pulse width of tpw is needed to capture the
state of narrow pulses. See the Typical Perfonnance .Curves
for an example of sampling a narrow pulse.

10k ECl lOGIC
If the latching function is not used, the Latch Enable inputs
(LEI and LEz) should be returned to an ECL High voltage
(-O.SV) or to Digital Common (OV). LEI and LEz should be
returned to an ECL Low level (-I.8V), to an ECL bias
voltage (-1.3V) or to the -2V son load pull-down power
supply. Connecting an ECL input to -5.2V may create a
marginal transistor emitter-base breakdown situation over
the ambient temperature range and is not recommended.

Input reference voltages V REF I and V REF Z may vary from
-12V to +12V. The frequency-compensated analog input
network can also swing from -12V to +12V.

If a single (non-differential) ECL logic input is used, connect the complementary input to an ECL bias voltage (-I.3V).

Care must be taken to be sure that the Maximum Differential
Input Voltage is not exceeded. That is, the voltage between
Analog In and V REF I or between Analog In and VREF Z must
not exceed ±25V. If this voltage is exceeded by I or 2 volts,
even momentarily, emitter-base voltage breakdown of the
input transistors will occur and cause a pennanent shift of
the offset voltage, Vos' to an out-of-spec value. However,
the CMPIOO will continue to function and will not be
destroyed.

100k ECl lOGIC
The negative power supply, V-, of the CMPIOO can be
operated at -4.5V. The common mode input range of the
analog and reference inputs will be reduced to +12V to
-7.5V. Output levels are not affected by changing the Vpower supply voltage to -4.5V.

Input voltages to the CMPIOO of uncontrolled magnitude
may occur during system power-up. Take care to assure that
the Absolute Maximum Differential Input Voltage is not
exceeded during power-up.
DRIVING SOURCE IMPEDANCE
An apparenfslow response of the CMPlOO may be due a
combination of high source impedance and stray capacitance
to ground at the analog input. An R-C combination of lill
source resistance and IOpF to ground results in a IOns'time
constant-more than double the typical response time of the
CMPlOO.

5-20

TTL INPUTS
The operating common mode range of a logic input is -2V
to +2V. Thus one can bias the logic inputs to use them with
TTL inputs if the High input level is maintained below +2V.
In this case, the complementary logic input should be biased
at the TTL threshold of +1.4V.
LEVEL SHIFTING ECl to TTL
The ECL outputs can be translated to TTL using a Motorola
MClOl25 Quad ECL-TTL translator. The logic delay tOLDH
and tOLDL and the propagation delay \POL and tpOH will be
increased by the delay of the translator.

INSTALLATION

solution for preserving dynamic perfonnance and reducing
noise coupling into sensitive circuits.

TERMINATING ECl OUTPUTS
The best perfonnance will be achieved with the use of
proper ECL tenninations. Such a configuration is illustrated
in Figure 3. The open-emitter outputs of the CMP 100 are designed to be tenninated through son resistors to -2V or any
other equivalent termination. If high-speed ECL signals
must be routed more than a few centimeters, MicroStrip or
StripLine techniques may be required to insure proper transition times and prevent output ringing.

When passing power through a connector, use every available spare pin for making power supply return connections,
and use some of the pins as a Faraday shield to separate the
Analog and Digital Common lines.

POWER SUPPLY SELECTION
Linear power supplies are preferred. Although switching
power supply nns specifications may appear to indicate low
noise output, voltage spikes generated by switchers may be
hard to filter. Their high-frequency components may be
extremely difficult to keep out of the power supply return
system. If switchers must be used, their outputs must be
carefully filtered and the power supply itself should be
shielded and located as far away as possible from precision
analog circuits.
PRINTED CIRCUIT lAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Power Supply Wiring
Use heavy power supply and power supply common (ground)
wiring. A ground plane under the part is usually the best

Power Supply Returns
(ACOM, DC OM and PWRCOM)
For best perfonnance, connect ACOM (pin 13) and DCOM
(pin 4) to the ground plane under the comparator. PWRCOM.
(pin 5), which is connected to the collectors of the ECL
outputs, can be returned by separate printed circuit trace but
its inductance should be kept low to avoid ringing. Do not
connect ACOM and DCOM together at the end of a long
printed circuit trace and then run a single wire to the power
supply. To use separate ACOM and DCOM return printed
circuit traces, connect a IJlF to 47JlF tantalum capacitor
between DCOM and ACOM pins as close to the package as
possible.
Power Supply Bypassing
Every power supply line leading into the comparator must
be bypassed to the Common pins. The bypass capacitor
should be located as close to the comparator package as
possible and tied to a solid return, preferably to the ground
plane under the device. If the capacitors are not close enough
to the package, DC resistance and inductance may be above
acceptable levels. Use tantalum capacitors with values of
from IJlF to lO!!F. Parallel them with smaller ceramic ca-

pacitors for high frequency filtering if necessary. Electrolytic capacitors are not recommended because their high frequency response is poor.

Separate the Analog and Digital Signals
Digital signal paths entering or leaving the layout should
have minimum length to minimize crosstalk to analog wiring. Stray capacitive feedback from digital outputs to the
analog input may cause the outputs to appear fuzzy well
after the outputs have changed. Keep analog signals as far
away as possible from digital signals. If they must cross,
cross them at right angles. CoaXial cable may be necessary
for analog inputs in some situations.

CMP100 PERFORMANCE

if overcompensated. If the probe ground lead is too long,the
output may appear distorted and oscillatory. Use probes With
short (less than one inch) ground straps or use a coaxial
cable connection instead of a probe. Do not use Xl or
"straight" probes. Their bandwidth is 20MHz or less and
capacitive loading is high. The best method is to use 50n
matched terminations as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

MEASURING PROPAGATION DELAY
Figure 2 shows a circuit configuration used for evaluating
propagation delay. It uses 50n matched terminations between the instruments and the CMPIOO for best signal
integrity. An HP8130A Pulse Generator is used for the analog input and for the latching signals. The oscilloscope is an
HP54503A SOOMHz Digitizing Oscilloscope. nlis setup
was used to generate the dynamic performance wavefo!11lS
in the Typical Performance Curves section.

USING AN OSCILLOSCOPE
Oscilloscope probes should be matched to the oscilloscope.
Use an oscilloscope with at least 400MHz bandwidth.
Be sure the probe compensation is adjusted properly. Improper compensatiori will result in apparent overshoot and!
or ringing if undercompensated, and an apparent slow edge

CMP100 APPLICATIONS
ATE PIN RECEIVER
A typical ATE pin receiver application using CMP100 is
illustrated in Figure 4. The reference inputs. VREF 1 and VREF2
are driven by D/A conveners (Figure 5) while analog input
is driven directly from the device under test (DUT).

WINDOW COMPARATOR
Because of its high speed. the CMPIOO can be used to make
timing measurements on modest-speed digital or high-speed
analog waveforms. When the outputs of the CMPIOO are
combined with a NOR gate. a true window comparator
function is iinplemented. Refer to gate G3 of Figure 6. The
output pulse width generated by an input signal passing
through the reference levels can be measured. This could be
for a rise-timelfall-time measurement (setting the reference
levels at 10% and 90% of the signal height) of a modest
speed digital waveform. or for the width (and hence the
value) of aM analog ramp moving between two values from
an integrating type signal detector.
PULSE RECOVERY
The window comparator function can also be used to reconstruct pulses that have been degraded. Positive and/or negative reference levels can be set up to detect both High and
Low levels of the pulse.

A plot of the response of CMPIOO to a narrow pulse with
VREFI OV is shown in the Typical Performance Curves
section.

DETECTING TRANSIENTS
CMPIOO can be connected to Detect and Hold transient
occurrences above and below threshold voltages set by
VREF 1 and VREF 2 as illustrated in Figure 6. The outputs of
comparator I and comparator 2 are fed back to their LE
inputs in order to self-latch their outputs. The Reset control
is used to "unlock" the outputs after the transient occurrence
has been read. The output NOR gate G3 combines CMP100
outputs into a single-output window comparator function.

WIDE· BAND AMPLIFIERS

Note that the transient being detected must remain above
VREF 1 (or below VREF 2) longer than the propagation delay of
the CMPIOO plus the propagation delay of gates GI and G2.

FOR ANALOG INPUT SIGNAL CONDITIONING
In a component test application the analog input of the
CMPIOO is usually driven directly from the OUT output.
Other applications may requm: a high-speed buffer or voltage gain ahead of the CMPIOO. Recommended wide-bandwidth amplifiers are Burr-Brown OPA603 for up to ±IOV
signals, or OPA620/0PA621 for very wide-band ±3V signals. A high speed instrumentation amplifier such as the
Burr-Brown INA II 0 can be used for common mode rejection.

In an application where only one polarity of transient needs
to be captured, comparator 2 (not latched) can be used as the
source of the Reset control signal to unlock comparator I
based on a c\ifferent threshold condition (defined by VREF2)
on the analog input signal. This connection will stretch the
transient occurrence for the time the VREF 2 condition is
present.

FEATURES

APPLICATIONS

• WIDE BANDWIDTH:

• MODULATOR/DEMODULATOR
• VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING
• CRT GEOMETRY CORRECTION

• LOW NOISE
• LOW FEEDTHROUGH: -SOdB (5MHz)

• CRT FOCUS CORRECTION
• VOLTAGE·CONTROLLED CIRCUITS

• GROUND-REFERRED OUTPUT
• LOW OFFSET VOLTAGE

DESCRIPTION
The MPY600 is a wide-bandwidth four-quadrant signal multiplier. Its output voltage is equal to the algebraic product of the X and Y input voltages. For
signals up to 30M Hz, the on-board output op amp
provides the complete multiplication function with a
low-impedance voltage output. Differential current
outputs extend multiplier bandwidth to 7SMHz.
The MPY600 offers improved performance compared
to common semiconductor modulator or multiplier
circuits. It can be used for both two-quadrant (voltagecontro\1ed amplifier) and four-quadrant (double-balanced) applications: While previous devices required
cumbersome circuitry for trimming, balance and levelshifting, the MPY600 requires no external components. A single external resistor can be used to program the conversion gain for optimum spurious-free
dynamic range. When used as a modulator, carrier
feedthrough measures -{lOdB at SMHz.

POWER SUPPLIES
The MPY600 may be operated from power supplies from
±4.75V .to ±8V. Operation from ±5V supplies is recommended. Since input and output levels are ±2V. larger
supply voltage is not required for full output voltage swing.
Furthermore. power dissipation can be minimized by using
lower power supply voltage. Power supplies should be
bypassed with good high-frequency capacitors such as ceramic or solid tantalum.

Solving for V0 yields the transfer function of the circuit.

V y =2VDC'

-20

An intuitive understanding of the transfer function can be
gained by analogy to an op amp. Assuming that the openloop gain is infinite. any output voltage can be created by an
infmitesimally small quantity with the brackets. An applications circuit can be analyzed by assigning circuit voltages to
the X. Y and Z inputs and Setting the bracketed quantity
equal to zero.

TRANSFER FUNCTION
The open-loop transfer function of the MPY600 is:

10M

100M

The X input is specified for ±1 V full-scale differential input.
X inputs up to ±2V provide useful operation with somewhat
reduced accuracy and distortion performance. The Y input is
rated for ±2V full-scale input. The Y input gain (and therefore its full-scale range) can be varied with an external
resistor connected to the Ry terminals-see "Modulator/
Demodulator." Full-scale inputs (X = ±IV. Y = ±2V) produce a ±1 V output.
The differential inputs. XI' JS. and YI' Y z• make it easy to
trim offset voltage. The trim voltage is applied to the JS or
Yz input. which is otherwise grounded (see X z input. Figure
5). Polarity of the input signals can be reversed by interchanging the inputs (reversing the connections XI and JS.
for instance). The unused current outputs (pins 15 and 16)
must be grounded (or loaded-see discussion on current
outputs).
The output amplifier is operated in unity gain. The output
voltage can be increased (for small input signals) by placing
the internal output op amp in higher gain (Figure 2). This
reduces bandwidth and increases output offset voltage errors.

FIGURE 2. Adjusting the Scale Factor with Feedback.

CURRENT OUTPUT
The current output connections of the MPY600 can achieve
wider bandwidth multiplier operation (Figure 3). The current output is determined by the X and Y inputs only. so applications which use the Z input to modify the transfer
function (e.g., divider and square-root modes) cannot be
used. A full-scale input of ±1 V on the X and ±2V on the Y
inputs produces a 2mA differential current at the current
outputs. This consists of approximately 2.SmA quiescent
current ±lmA signal current on each output. The current
outputs may be used to drive any load impedance which
maintains the voltage on the current outputs within their
compliance range. This compliance limit is approximately
2.SV from the power supply voltages. The current outputs
and voltage output may be used simultaneously, if desired.
Output capacitance and stray capacitance at the current
output terminals will limit the multiplier bandwidth. This
makes large output resistors (greater than approximately
IkO) impractical. The current outputs can be used to drive
500 or 750 loads directly.
The circuit shown in Figure 4 uses the current outputs to
drive an external OPA621 op amp configured as a currentdifference amplifier. It operates in a noise gain of 3.5. The
OPA621 is stable in a noise gain of two or greater and has
a SOOMHz gain-bandwidth product. It achieves the full
bandwidth performance of the MPY600. R J determines the
transfer function gain. R, provides a proper load to optimize
high-frequency effects. R. is made equal to the parallel combination of R J and R3•

FIGURE 4. 75MHz DC-Coupled Multiplier.
MODULATOR/DEMODULATOR
The balanced modulator or demodulator shown in Figure 5
uses the basic multiplier configuration. It shows the offset of
the X input trimmed to null carrier feedthrough. It also
illustrates the use of Ry to change the gain of the Y input.
This can be used to optimize the spurious-free dynamic
range for a given input level. The Y input is optimized for
±2V inputs. For lower input signals, the Y input can be programmed for higher gain by connecting an external resistor
to the Ry terminals. The conceptual diagram in Figure 6
reveals why varying the Y-channel gain can yield improved
dynamic range. The Ry selection curve in Figure 5 shows the
optimum value of Ry for a given Y-input signal level.
DIVIDER OPERATION

The MPY600 can be configured as a divider as shown in
Figure 7. Numerator voltage is applied to the Z inputs;
denominator voltage is applied to the X inputs. Since the
feedback connection is made to a mUltiplying input, the

5-32

effective gain of the output amplifier varies as a function of
the denomimitor input. This causes the bandwidth to vary
with denominator (see Typical Performance Curves for divider bandwidth performance). Accuracy in divider operation is approximately 3% for a 10:1 denominator range.
Errors grow large and will eventually saturate the output as
the denominator voltage approaches OV.
SQUARE-ROOT CIRCUIT

The circuit in Figure 8 provides an output voltage proportional to the square-root of the input (for positive input
voltages). Diode D. prevents latch-up if the input should go
negative. The circuit can be configured for negative input
and positive output by reversing the polarity of both the X
and Y differential inputs. The output polarity can be inverted
by reversing the X input polarity and the diode. Accuracy
can be improved by trimming the offset at the Z input.

The REFI02 is a precision IOV voltage reference. The
drift is laser-trimmed to 2.SppmfC max (CM grade)
over the industrial temperature range and SppmfC
max (SM grade) over the military temperature range.
The REFlO2 achieves its precision without a heater.
This results in low-power, fast warm-up, excellent
stability, and low noise. The output voltage is extremely insensitive to both line and load variations and
can be externally adjusted with minimal effect on drift
and stability. Single supply operation from ll.4V to
36V and excellent overall specifications make the
REFl02 an ideal chl'Jice for demanding instrumentation and system reference applications. The REFl02 is
also available in die form.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Refer to the diagram on the first page of this data sheet. The
lOY output is derived from a compensated buried zener
diode DZ,• op amp AI' and resistor network RI-R•.
Approximately S.2V is applied to the non-inverting input of
Al by DZ I. R I• R2 , and R, are laser-trimmed to produce an
exact lOY output. The zener bias current is established from
the regulated output voltage through R•. Rs allows usertrimming of the output voltage by providing for small
external adjustment of the amplifier gain. Because the TCR
of Rs closely matches the TCR of R I, R, and R3 ' the voltage
trim has minimal effect on the reference drift. The output
voltage noise of the REFI02 is dominated by the noise of
the zener diode. A capacitor can be connected between the
Noise Reduction pin and ground to form a low-pass filter
with R6 and roll off the high-frequency noise of the zener.

DISCUSSION
OF PERFORMANCE
The REFI02 is designed for applications requiring a precision voltage reference where both the initial value at room
temperature and the drift over temperature are of importance
.to the user. Two basic methods of specifying voltage reference drift versus temperature are in common usage in the industry-the "butterfly method" and the "box method." The
REFI02 is specified with the more commonly used "box
method." The ··box" is formed by the high and low specification temperatures and a diagonal. the slope of which is
equal to the maximum specified drift.
Since the shape of the actual drift curve is not known, the
vertical position of the box is not exactly known either. It is,
however, bounded by VUPPER BOUND and VLOWER BOUND (see
Figure I). Figure I uses the REFlO2CM as an example. It
has a drift specification of 2.5ppm/"C maximum and a
specification temperature range of -25°C to +S5°C. The
"box" height, VI to V2, is 2.75mV.

INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC CIRCUIT CONNECTION
Figure 2 shows the proper connection of the REFI02. To
achieve the specified performance, pay careful attention to
layout. A low resistance star configuration will reduce voltage errors, noise pickup, and noise coupled from the powersupply. Commons should be connected as indicated being
sure to minimize interconnection resistances.
OPTIONAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

Optional output voltage adjustment circuits are shown in
Figures 3 and 4. Trimming the output voltage will change
the voltage drift by approximately O.OOSppm/"C per mV of
trimmed voltage. In the circuit in Figure 3, any mismatch in
TCR between the two sections of the potentiometer will also
affect drift, but the effect of the d TCR is reduced by a factor
of five by the internal resistor divider. A high quality potentiometer, with good mechanical stability, such as a cermet,
should De used. The circuit in Figure 3 has a minimum trim
range of ±300mV. The circuit in Figure 4 has less range but
provides higher resolution. The mismatch in TCR between

to the figure on the first page of the data sheet) and attenuates the high-frequency noise generated by the zener. Figure
5 shows the effect of a IIJ.F noise reduction capacitor on the
high frequency noise of the REF102. R6 is typically 7kQ so
the filter has a -3dB frequency of about 22Hz. The result is
a reduction in noise from about 8001lVp-P to under 200ll
Vp-p. If further noise reduction is required, use the circuit in
Figure 14.

(2)

NOTES: (I) Lead resistances here of up to a few ohms have negligible
effect on performance. (2) A resistance of 0.1 n in series with these
leads will cause a I mV error when the load current Is at its maximum of
lOrnA. This results in a 0.010/. error of 10V.

DISCUSSION OF
SPECIFICATIONS
RELATIVE ACCURACY
This term, also known as end point linearity or integral linearity. describes the transfer function of analog output to
digital input code. Relative accuracy describes the deviation
from a straight line after zero and fulI scale errors have been
removed.
DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY
Differential nonlinearity is the deviation from an ideal I LSB
change in the output when the input code changes by I LSB.
A differential nonlinearity specification of I LSB maximum
guarantees monotonicity.
GAIN ERROR
Gain error is the difference between the fulI-scale DAC output and the ideal value. The ideal fulI scale output value for
the DAC7802 is -(4095!4096)V REF' Gain error may be adjusted to zero using external trims as shown in Figures 3 and 5.
OUTPUT LEAKAGE CURRENT
The current which appears at lOUT A ahd loUT B with the DAC
loaded with alI zeros.
OUTPUT CAPACITANCE
This is the parasitic capacitance measured from lOUT
10UTB to AGND.

A

or

CHANNEL-TO-CHANNEL ISOLATION
The AC output error due to capacitive coupling from DACA
to DACB or DACB to DACA.
MULTIPLYING FEEDTHROUGH ERROR
The AC output error due to capacitive coupling from VREF to
loUT with the DAC loaded with all zeros.
OUTPUT CURRENT SETTLING TIME
The time required for the output current to settle to within
±O.OI % of final value for a fulI scale step.
DlGITAL-TO-ANALOG GLITCH ENERGY
The integrated area of the glitch pulse measured in nanovoltseconds. The key contributor to digital-to-analog glitch is
charge injected by digital logic switching transients.
DIGITAL CROSSTALK
Glitch impulse measured at the output of one DAC but
caused by a fulI scale transition on the other DAC. The
integrated area of the glitch pulse is measured in nanovoltseconds.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic of one half of a
DAC7802. The current from the VREF A pin is switched
between lOUT A and AGND by the CMOS FET switch for that
bit. This circuit architecture keeps the resistance at the VREF A
pin constant so the reference could be provided by either a
voltage or current, AC or DC, positive or negative polarity,
and have a voltage range up 10 ±20V.

FIGURE 1. Simplified DAC Circuit.

APPLICATIONS
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
The DAC7802 is designed to operate on VDO = +5V ±IO%.
For optimum performance and noise rejection, power supply
decoupling capacitors CD should be added as shown in the
application circuits. These capacitors (lJ.IF tantalum recommended) should be located close to the DAC7802. AGND
and DGND should be connected together at one point only,
preferably at the power supply ground point. Separate returns
minimize current flow in low level signal paths if properly
connected. Output op-amp analog ground should be tied as
near to the AGND pin of the DAC7802 as possible.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
To minimize the AC feedthrough when designing a PC
board for the DAC7802, great care should be taken to
minimize capacitive coupling between the V REF lines and the
lOUT lines. Similarly, capacitive coupling between DACs
may compromise the channel-to-channel isolation. Coupling
from any of the digital control or data lines might degrade the
glitch and digital crosstalk performance. Whenever possible,
solder the DAC7802 directly into the PC board without a
socket. Sockets add parasitic capacitance (which can degrade
AC performance as described) and resistance (which may
impact the DC accuracy).
AMPLIFIER OFFSET VOLTAGE
As with all precision CMOS MDACs, the output amplifier
used with the DAC7802 should have low input offset voltage
to preserve the transfer function linearity. The voltage output
of the amplifier has an error component which is the offset
voltage of the op-amp multiplied by the "noise gain" of the
circuit. This "noise gain" is equal to (;
was used to calculate MTTF at an ambient temperature of
25°C and 85"C. These test results yield MTTF of 2.5E+7
hours at 25°C and 2.6E+5 hours at 85°C. Additional tests
such as PCT have also been performed. Reliability reports
are available upon request.
Control circuitry omitted lor clarity.
A1. A2 OPA602 or 112 OPA2107.

UNIPOLAR CONFIGURATION
Figure 2 shows the DAC7802 in a typical unipolar (twoquadrant) multiplying configuration. The analog output values versus digital input code are listed in Table 11. The operational amplifiers used in this circuit can be single amplifiers,
such as the OPA602, or a dual amplifier such as the OPA2107.
Cl and C2 provide phase compensation to minimize settling
time and overshoot when using a high speed operational
amplifier.
If an application requires the DAC to have zero gain error,
the circuit shown in Figure 3 may be used. Resistors R2, and
R4 induce a positive gain error greater than worst case initial
negative gain error for a DAC7802KP. Trim resistors R I and
R3 provide a variable negative gain error and have sufficient
trim range to correct for the worst case initial positive gain
error plus the error produced by R2 and R4.

FIGURE 3. Unipolar Configuration with Gain Trim.

BIPOLAR CONFIGURATION
Figure 4 shows the DAC7802 in a typical bipolar (fourquadrant) multiplying configuration. The analog output values versus digital input code are listed in Table

m.

The operational amplifiers used in this circuit can be single
amplifiers such as the OPA602, a dual amplifier such as the
OPA2107, or a quad amplifier like the OPA404. CI and C2
proY-ide phase compensation to minimize settling time and
overshoot when using a high speed operational amplifier.
The bipolar offset resistors R5-R7 and Rg.;..RIO should be
ratio-matched to 0.01 % to ensure the specified gain error
performance.

If an application requires the DAC to have zero gain error,
the circuit shown in Figure 5 may be used. Resistors R2 and
R4 induce a positive gain error greater than worst case initial
negative gain error for a DAC7802KP. Trim resistors Rl and
R3 provide a variable negative gain error and have sufficient
trim range to correct for the worst case initial positive gain
error plus the error produced by R2 and R4.
12-BIT PLUS SIGN DACS
For a bipolar DAC with 13 bits of resolution, two solutions
are possible. As shown in Figure 6, the addition of a precision
difference amplifier and a high speed JFET switch provides
a 12-bit plus sign voltage-output DAC. When the switch
selects the op-amp output, the difference amplifier serves as
a non-inverting output buffer. If the analog ground side of the
switch is selected; the output of the difference amplifier is
inverted.
Another option, shown in Figure 7, also produces a 12-bit
plus sign output without the additional switch and digital
control line.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The PCM60P/66P is a dual output, 16-bit CMOS digital-toanalog audio converter. The PCM60P/66P, complete with
internal reference, has two glitch-free voltage outputs and
requires only a single +5V power supply. Output modes
using either one or two channels per DAC are user selectable. The PCM60P/66P accepts a serial data input format
that is compatible with other Burr-Brown PCM products
such as the industry standard PCM56P.
ONE DAC TWO-CHANNEL OPERATION
Normally, the PCM60P/66P is operated with a continuous
clock input in a two-channel output mode. This mode is
selected when SDM SEL is held low· (single DAC mode

select). Refer to the truth table shown by Table I for exact
control logic relationships. Data for left and right channel
output is loaded alternately into the PCM60P/66P while the
control logic switches the left and right output amplifiers
between the appropriate· integrate and hold modes. Data
word latching is controlled by WDCLK (word clock) and
channel selection is made by LRCLK (left/right clock).
Figure 1 shows the timing for the single DAC two-channel
mode of operation. The block diagram in Figure 2 shows
how a single DAC output provides switched output to both
integrate and hold amplifiers. Output between left and right
channels in this mode is not in phase. See Figure 3 for proper
connection of the PCM60P/66P in the two-channel DAC
mode.

TWO DAC TWO-CHANNEL OPERATION
In phase, two-channel output can be obtained by using two
PCM60P/66Ps and choosing the single DAC mode (setting
SDM SEL high). With the use of a high or low input level
on LRDAC (P left/right DAC select), each DAC can have its
right channel output dedicated to either left or right data
input with no additional input signals being required to latch
the appropriate data from an alternating L/R data word input

6.2~32

stream. In the single DAC mode, the PCM60P/66P's left
channel output is disabled and held at + VCOM' In this mode
both DACs share common inputs for DATA, CLK. WDCLK.
and LRCLK. Otherwise circuit connection is the same as
the two-channel DAC mode, with the exception of LRDAC
whose level selects whether the single DAC will output
dedicated left or right channel data.

into an analog type distortion analyzer. Figure 4 shows a
block diagram of the production THD + til test setup.

INTEGRATE AND HOLD OUTPUT AMPLIFIERS
The PCM60P/66P incorporates integrate and hold amplifiers
on each output channel. This allows a single, very fast DAC
10 feed both amplifiers and reduce circuit complexity. It also
serves to block the output glitch from the DAC to the
individual channel outputs and effectively makes the
PCM60P/66P outputs "glitch-free." The PCM60P/66P is a
single +5V supply device with a voltage output swing of
2.8Vp-p. The outputs swing asymmetrically around VCOM
(+VCC- 2.33V). See Table II for exact input/output relationships. Since true CMOS amplifiers are used on the PCM60P/
66P, the load resistance on the outputs should not be less
than lookn and the capacitive loads should not exceed
loopF. For maximum low-distortion performance, output
buffer amplifiers should be considered.
DIGITAL INPUT
Binary Two's
Complement (Hex)

In terms of signal measurement, THD + N is the ratio of
Distortion RMs + NoiseRMsiSignalRMs expressed in dB. For the
PCM60P/66P, THD + N is 100% tested at three different
output levels using the test setup shown in Figure 4. It is
significant to note that this circuit does not include any
output deglitching circuitry. This means the PCM60P/66P
meets even its -6OdB THD + N specification without use of
external deglitchers.
ABSOLUTE LINEARITY
Even though absolute integral and differential linearity specs
are not given for the PCM60P/66P, the extremely low THD
+ N performance is typically indicative of 14-bit to 15-bit
integral linearity in the DAC depending on the grade specified.
The relationship between THD + N and linearity, however,
is not such that an absolute linearity specification for every
individual output code can be guaranteed.

IDLE CHANNEL SNR
Another appropriate spec for a digital audio converter is idle
channel signal-to-noise ratio (idle channel SNR). This is the
ratio of the noise on either DAC output at bipolar zero in
relation to the full scale range of the DAC. The output of the
DAC is band limited from 20Hz to 20kHz and an Aweighted filter is applied to make this measurement.

DISCUSSION OF
SPECIFICATIONS
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION + NOISE

OFFSET, GAIN, AND TEMPERATURE DRIFT
The PCM60P/66P is specified for other important parameters such as channel separation and gain mismatch between
output channels. And although the PCM60P/66P is primarily meant for use in dynamic applications, typical specs are
also given for more traditional DC parameters such as gain
error, bipolar zero offset error, and temperature gain drift.

The key specification for the PCM60P/66P is total harmonic
distortion plus noise. Digital data words are read into the
PCM60P/66P at four times the standard audio sampling
frequency of 44.lkHz or 176.4kHz for each channel, such
that a sine wave output of 991Hz is realized. For production
testing, the output of the DAC goes to a programmable gain
amplifier to provide gain at lower signal output test levels
and then through a 20kHz low pass filter before being fed

TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
The data format of the PCM60P/66P is binary two's complement (BTC) with the most significant bit (MSB) being first
in the serial input bit stream. Table II describes the exact
input data to voltage output coding relationship. Any number of bits can precede the 16 bits to be loaded, as only the
last 16 will be transferred to the parallel DAC register on the
first positive edge of CLK (clock input) after WDCLK
(word clock) has gone low. All inputs to the PCM60P/66P
are TTL level cornpatible.
WDCLK DUTY CYCLE
WDCLK is the input signal that controls when data is loaded
and how long each output is in the integrate mode. It is
therefore recommended that a 50% (high) duty cycle be
maintained on WDCLK. This will ensure that each output
will have enough time to reach its fmal output value, and that
the output level of each channel will be within the gain
mismatch specification. Refer to Figure I for exact timing
relationships of WDCLK to CLK and LRCLK and the
outputs of the PCM60P/66P. The WDCLK can be high
longer than 50%, as long as setup and hold times shown in
Figure 5 are observed and the time high is roughly equivalent for both left and right channels.
SETUP AND HOLD TIMES
The individual serial data bit shifts, the serial to parallel data
transfer, and left/right control are triggered on positive CLK
edges. The setup time required for DATA, WDCLK, and
LRCLK to be latched by the next positive going CLK is
15ns minimum. A minimum hold time of 15ns is also
required after the positive going CLK edge for each data bit
to be shifted into the serial input register. Refer to Figure 5
for the timing relationship of these signals.
MAXIMUM CLOCK RATE
The 100% tested maximum clock rate of 8.47MHz for the
PCM60P/66P is derived by mUltiplying the standard audio
sample rate of 44. 1kHz times eight (4X oversampling times
two channels) times the standard audio word bit length of 24
(44.1kHz X4 X 2 X 24 = 8.47MHz). Note that this clock rate
accommodates a 24-bit word length, even though only 16
bits are actually being used.
"STOPPED·CLOCK" OPERATION
The PCM60P/66P is normally operated with a continuous
clock input signal. If the clock is to be stopped between input
data words, the last 16 bits shifted in are not actually shifted
from the serial register to the latched parallel DAC register
until the first clock after the one used to input bit 16 (LSB).
This means the data is not shifted into the DHC latch until
the start of the next 16-bit data word input, unless at least
one additiona~ clock accompanies the 16 used to serially
shift in data in the first place. In either case, the setup and
hold times for DATA, WDCLK, and LRCLK must still be
observed.

INSTALLATION
The PCM60P/66P only requires a single +5V supply. The
+5V supply, however, is used in deriving the internal reference. It is therefore very important that this supply be as
"clean" as possible to reduce coupling of supply noise to the

outputs. If a good analog supply is available at greater than
+5V, a zener diode can be used to obtain a stable +5V
supply. A 100JlF decoupling capacitor as shown in Figure 3
should be used regardless of how good the +5V supply is to
maximize power supply rejection. All grounds should be
connected to the analog ground plane as close to the PCM60P/
66P as possible.
FILTER CAPACITOR REQUIREMENTS
As shown in Figure 3, CREF and VREF SENSE should have
decoupling capacitors of O.IJlF (C4 ) and 10JlF (Cs) to +Vcc
respectively with no· special tolerance being required. To
maximize channel separation between left and right channels, 5% 300pF capacitors (C2 and C3 )' between VCOM and
left and right channel outputs are required in addition to a
5% 31lF capacitor (C,) between VCOM and +5V. The ratio of
10k to 1 is the important factor here for proper circuit
operation. Placement of all capacitors should be as close to
the appropriate pins of the PCM60P/66P as possible to
reduce noise pickup from surrounding circuitry.

APPLICATIONS
Probably the most popular use of the PCM60P/66P is in
applications requiring single power supply operation. For
example, the PCM60P/66P is ideal for automotive compact
disk (CD) and digital audio tape (DAT) playback units. To
use a more complex bipolar DAC requiring ±5V supplies in
the +12V application, for example, would require driving a
stable "floating" ground and regulating the +12V to +IOV.
The single supply CMOS PCM60P/66P would only require
a +5V zener diode to regulate its 50mW max supply. The
outputs could be AC coupled to the rest of the circuit for
perfectly acceptable high dynamic performance. The
PCM60P/66P is ideal in any application requiring a minimum of additional circuitry as well as ultra-low-power
CMOS performance.
Of course, the PCM60P/66P is the D/A converter of choice
in any application requiring very low power dissipation.
Portable battery powered test and measurement equipment
requiring very low distortion digital to analog converters
would be an ideal application for the CMOS PCM60P/66P
with its 50mW max power dissipation.

FIGURE 3. PCM6lP Setup and Hold Timing Diagram.
MAXIMUM CLOCK RATE
The maximum clock rate of 16.9MHz for the PCM61P is
derived by mUltiplying the standard audio sample rate of
44.lkHZ times sixteen (l6X oversampling) times the standard audio word bit length of 24 (44.lkHz x 16 x 24 =
l6.9MHz). Note that this clock rate accommodates a 24-bit
word length, even though only 18 bits are actually being used.

470kll

The MSB error ofthe PCM61P can be adjusted to make the
differential linearity error (DLE) at BPZ essentially zero.
This is important when the signal output levels are very low,
because zero crossing noise (DLE at BPZ) becomes very
significant when compared to the small code changes occurring in the LSB portion of the converter.

Differential linearity error at bipolar zero and THD are guaranteed to meet data sheet ,specifications without any external
adjustment. However, a provision has been made for an optional adjustment of the MSB linearity point, which makes it
possible to eliminate DLE error at BPZ. Two procedures are
given to allow either static or dynamic adjustment. The
,dynamic procedure is preferred because of the difficulty
associated with the static method (accurately measuring 16bit LSB steps).
After allowing ample warm-up time (5-10 minutes) to assure
stable operation of the PCM6IP, select input code 3FFFF
hexadecimal (all bits on except the MSB). Measure the
output voltage using a 6-1/2 digit voltmeter and record it.
Change the digital input code to 00000 hexadecimal (all bits
off except the MSB). Adjust the 100kQ potentiometer to
make the output read 22.9JlV more than the voltage reading
of the previous code (a ILSB step = 22.9JlV). A much simpler
method is to dynamically adjust the DLE at BPZ. Assuming
the device has been installed in a digital audio application circuit, send the appropriate digital input to produce a -6OdB
level sinusoidal output, then adjust the 100kQ potentiometer
until a minimum level of distortion is observed.

THEORY OF OPERATION
DUAL-DAC COL/NEAR ARCHITECTURE
Digital audio systems have traditionally used laser-trimmed,
current-source DACs in order to achieve sufficient accuracy.
However even the best of these suffer from potential lowlevel nonlinearity due to errors at the major carry bipolar
zero transition. More recently, DACs employing a different
architecture which utilizes noise shaping techniques and
very high oversampling frequencies, have been introduced
("Bitstream", "MASH", or I-bit DACs). These DACs overcome the low level linearity problem, but only at the expense
of signal-to-noise performance. and often to the detriment of
channel separation and intermodulation distortion if the
succeeding circuitry is not carefully designed.
The PCM63 is a new solution to the problem. It combines all
the advantages of a conventional DAC (excellent full scale
performance, high signal-to-noise ratio and ease of use) with
superior low-level performance. Two DACs are combined
in a complementary arrangement to produce an extremely
linear output. The two DACs share a common reference and
a common R-2R ladder to ensure perfect tracking under all
conditions. By interleaving the individual bits of each DAC
and employing precise laser trimming of resistors. the highly
accurate match required between DACs is achieved.
This new, complementary linear or dual-DAC Co/inear
approach. which steps away from zero with small steps in
both directions, avoids any glitching or "large" linearity
errors and provides an absolute current output. The low level
performance of the PCM63P is such that real 20-bit resolution can be realized, especially around the critical bipolar
zero point.
Table I shows the conversion made by the internal logic of
the PCM63P from binary two's complement (BTC). Also.
the resulting internal codes to the upper and lower DACs
(see front page block diagram) are listed. Notice that only
the LSB portions of either internal DAC are changing
around bipolar zero. This accounts for the superlative performance of the PCM63P in this area of operation.

DISCUSSION OF
SPECIFICATIONS
DYNAMIC SPECIFICATIONS
Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise
The key specification for the PCM63P is total harmonic
distortion plus noise (THD + N). Digital data words are read
into the PCM63P at eight times the standard compact disk
audio sampling frequency of 44. 1kHz (352.8kHz) so that a
sine wave output of 991Hz is realized. For production
testing, the output of the DAC goes to an I to V converter,
then to a programmable gain amplifier to provide gain at
lower si"nal output test levels, and then through a 40kHz
low passefilter before being fed into an analog type distortion
analyzer. Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the production
THD + N test setup.
For the audio bandwidth. THD + N of the PCM63P is
essentially flat for all frequencies. The typical performance
curve, "THD + N vs Frequency", shows four different output signal levels: OdB, -20dB. -40dB, and -60dB. The test
signals are derived from a special compact test disk (the
CBS CD-I). It is interesting to note that the -2OdB signal
falls only about lOdB below the full scale signal instead of
the expected 20dB. This is primarily due to the superior lowlevel signal performance of the dual-OAC Colinear architecture of the PCM63P.

measure of dynamic range, but it does not take into account

FIGURE I. Production THD + N Test Setup.

Colinear architecture of the PCM63P, with its ideal
perfonnance around bipolar zero, provides a more usable
dynamic range, even using the strict audio definition, than
any previously available D/A converter.

the code for bipolar zero while the output of the DAC is
band-limited from 20Hz to 20kHz and an A-weighted filter
is applied. The idle channel SNR for the PCM63P is typically greater than l20dB, making it ideal for low-noise
applications.

Level Linearity
Deviation from ideal versus actual signal level is sometimes
called "level linearity" in digital audio converter testing. See
the "-9OdB Signal Spectrum" plot in the Typical Performance Curves section for the power spectrum of a PCM63P
at a -9OdB output level. (The "-9OdB Signal" plot shows the
actual -90dB output of the DAC). The deviation from ideal
for PCM63P at this signal level is typically less than ±O.3dB.
For the "-llOdB Signal" plot in the Typical Perfonnance
Curves section, true 20-bit digital code is used to generate a
-IIOdB output signal. This type of performance is possible
only with the low-noise, near-theoretical perfonnance around
bipolar zero of the PCM63P's Co/inear DAC circuitry.
A commonly tested digital audio parameter is the amount of
deviation from ideal of a 1kHz signal when its amplitude is
decreased from -6OdB to -120dB. A digitally dithered input
signal is applied to reach effective output levels of -12OdB
using only the available l6-bit code from a special compact
disk test input. See the "16-Bit Level Linearity" plot in the
Typical Performance Curves section for the results of a
PCM63P tested using this l6-bit dithered fade-to-noise
signal. Note the very small deviation from ideal as the signal
goes from -60dB to -IOOdB.

DC SPECIFICATIONS
Idle Channel SNR
Another appropriate specification for a digital audio converter is idle channel signal-to-noise ratio (idle channel
SNR). This is the ratio of the noise on the DAC output at
bipolar zero in relation to the full scale range of the DAC. To
make this measurement, the digital input is continuously fed

6.2-44

Monotonicity
Because of the unique dual-DAC Co/inear architecture of
the PCM63P, increasing values of digital input will always
result in increasing values of DAC output as the signal
moves away from bipolar zero in one-LSB steps (in either
direction). The "16-Bit Monotonicity" plot in the Typical
Perfonnance Curves section was generated using 16-bit
digital code from a test compact disk. The test starts with 10
periods of bipolar zero. Next are 10 periods of alternating
lLSBs above and below zero, and then 10 periods of
alternating 2LSBs above and below zero, and so on until
lOLSBs above and below zero are reached. The signal
pattern then begins again at bipolar zero.
With PCM63P, the low-noise steps are clearly defined and
increase in near-perfect proportion. This perfonnance is
achieved without any external adjustments. By contrast,
sigma-delta C"Bitstream", "MASH", or I-bit DAC) architectures are too noisy to even see the first 3 or 4 bits change Cat
16 bits), other than by a change in the noise level.

Absolute Linearity
Even though absolute integral and differential linearity specs
are not given for the PCM63P. the extremely low THD + N
perfonnance is typically indicative of 16-bit to 17-bit integrallinearity in the DAC. depending on the grade specified.
The relationship between THO + N and linearity. however.
is not such that an absolute linearity specification for every
individual output code can be guaranteed.

Offset, Gain, And Temperature Drift
Although the PCM63P is primarily meant for use in dynamic applications, specifications are also given for more
traditional DC parameters such as gain error, bipolar zero
offset error, and temperature gain and offset drift.

sixteen times (16x oversampling) the standard audio word
bit length of 24 bits (44.1kHz X 16 X 24 = 16.9MHz). Note
that this clock rate accommodates a 24-bit word length, even
though only 20 bits are actually being used. The maximum
clock rate of 25MHz is guaranteed, but is not 100% final
tested. The setup and hold timing relationships are shown in
Figure 3.

DIGITAL INPUT
Timing Considerations
The PCM63P accepts TTL compatible logic input levels.
Noise immunity is enhanced by the use of differential
current mode logic input architectures on all input signal
lines. The data format of the PCM63P is binary two's
complement (BTC) with the most significant bit (MSB)
being first in the serial input bit stream. Table II describes
the exact relationship of input data to voltage output coding.
Any number of bits can precede the 20 bits to be loaded,
since only the last 20 will be transferred to the parallel DAC
register after LE (P20, Latch Enable) has gone low.
All DAC serial input data (P21, DATA) bit transfers are
triggered on positive clock (P18, CLK) edges. The serial-toparallel data transfer to the DAC occurs on the falling edge
of Latch Enable (P20, LE). The change in the output of the
DAC coincides with the falling edge of Latch Enable (P20,
LE). Refer to Figure 2 for graphical relationships of these
signals.

"Stopped Clock" Operation
The PCM63P is normally operated with a continuous clock
input signal. If the clock is to be stopped between input data
words, the last 20 bits shifted in are not actually shifted from
the serial register to the latched parallel DAC register until
Latch Enable (LE, P20) goes low. Latch Enable must remain
low until after the first clock cycle of the next data word to
insure proper DAC operation. In any case, the setup and hold
times for Data and LE must be observed as shown in Figure
3.

desired. Use of the MSB adjustments will only affect larger
dynamic signals (between OdB and -6dB). This improvement comes from bettering the gain match between the
upper and lower DACs at these signal levels. The change is
realized by small adjustments in the bit-2 weights of each
DAC. Great care should be taken, however, as improper
adjustment will easily result in degraded performance.
In theory, the adjustments would seem very simple to
perform, but in practice they are actually quite complex. The
first step in the theoretical procedure would involve making
each bit-2 weight ideal in relation to its code minus one
value (adjusting· each potentiometer for zero differential
nonlinearity error at the bit-2 major carries). This would be
the starting point of each lOOill potentiometer for the next
adjustment. Then, each potentiometer would be adjusted
equally, in opposite directions; to achieve the lowest fullscale THD + N possible (reversing the direction of rotation

POWER SUPPLIES
Refer to Figure 4 for proper connection of the PCM63P in
the voltage-out mode using the internal feedback resistor.
The feedback resistor connections (P9 and PIO) should be
left open if not used. The PCM63P only requires a ±5V
supply. Both positive supplies should be tied together at a
single point. Similarly, both negative supplies should be
connected together. No real advantage is gained by using
separate analog and digital supplies. It is more important that
both these supplies be as "clean" as possible to reduce
coupling of supply noise to the output. Power supply decoupiing capacitors should be used at each supply pin to
maximize power supply rejection, as shown in Figure 4,
regardless of how good the supplies are. Both commons
should be connected to an analog ground plane as close to
the PCM63P as possible.
FILTER CAPACITOR REQUIREMENTS
As shown in Figure 4, various size decoupling capacitors
can be used, with no special tolerances being required. The
size of the offset decoupling capacitor is not critical either,
with larger values (up to lOO~F) giving slightly better SNR
readings. All capacitors should be as close to the appropriate
pins of the PCM63P as possible to reduce noise pickup from
surrounding circuitry.

for both if 110 immediate improvement were noted). This
procedure would require the generation of the digital bit-2
major carry code to the input of the PCM63P and a DVM or
oscilloscope capable of reading the output voltage for a one
LSB step (5.72I!V) in addition to a distortion analyzer.
A morc practical approach would be to forego the minor
correction for the bit-2 major carry adjustment and only
adjust for upper and lower DAC gain matching. The problem is that just by connecting the MSB circuitry to the
PCM63P. the odds are that the upper and lower bit-2 weights
would be greatly changed from their unadjusted states and
thereby adversely affect the desired gain adjustment. Just
centering the IOOkQ potentiometers would not necessarily
provide the correct starting point. To guarantee that each
lOOkQ potentiometer would be set to the correct starting or
null point (no current into or out of the MSB adjust pins), the
voltage drop across each corresponding 330kQ resistor would
have to measure OV. A voltage drop of ±1.25mV across
either 330kQ resistor would correspond to a ±ILSB change
in the null point from its unadjusted state (ILSB in current
or 3.81nA x 330kQ = 1.26mV). Once these starting points
for each potentiometer had been set, each potentiometer
would then be adjusted equally, in opposite directions, to
achieve the lowest full-scale THD + N possible. If no immediate improvement were noted, the direction of rotation
for both potentiometers would be reversed. One direction of
potentiometer counter-rotations would only make the gain
mismatch and resulting THD + N worse, while the opposite
would gradually improve and then worsen the THD + N
after passing through a no mismatch point. The determina-

tion of the correct starting direction would be arbitrary. This
procedure still requires a good DVM in addition to a distortion
analyzer.
Each user will have to determine if a small improvement in
full-scale THD + N for their application is worth the expense of performing a proper MSB adjustment.

APPLICATIONS
The most common application for the PCM63P is in highperformance and professional digital audio playback, such
as in CD and DAT players. The circuit in Figure 6 shows the
PCM63P in a typical combination with a digital interface
format receiver chip (Yamaha YM3623), an 8x interpolating
digital filter (Burr-Brown DF1700P), and two third-order
low-pass anti-imaging filters (implemented using Burr-Brown
OPA2604APs).
Using an 8x digital filter increases the number of samples to
the DAC by a factor 'of 8, thereby reducing the need for a
higher order reconstruction or anti-imaging analog filter on
the DAC output. An analog filter can now be constructed
using a simple phase-linear OlC (generalized immittance
converter) architecture. Excellent sonic performance is
achieved using a digital filter in the design, while reducing
overall circuit complexity at the same time.
Because of its superior low-level performance, the PCM63P
is also ideally suited for other high-performance applications
such as direct digital synthesis (DDS).

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTERS

The Burr-Brown Analog-ta-Digital (AID) converter product line offers a
broad selection of devices that enable you to choose the perfonnance and
price range ideally suited for your application. For example, the highperfonnance 12-bit ADC80, which converts to 12-bit accuracy in 25J.ls, was
originated by Burr-Brown in 1975 and has become an industry standard.
The recently introduced ADC603 is a 12-bit, lOMHz AID converter that
offers the industry's highest perfonnance for RF signal processing applications. A high-resolution converter, the ADC76, converts 16 bits to ±O.003%
absolute accuracy in only 15J.ls and is packaged in a 32-pin triple-wide dualin-line package. Another perfonnance category is total harmonic distortion
for audio digital recording.
All devices are complete and fully specified, with a track record of high
reliability proven both in the field as well as in internal qualification testing.

DISCUSSION OF
PERFORMANCE
The accuracy of a successive approximation AID converter is
described by the transfer function shown in Figure 1. All
successive approximation AID converters have an inherent
Quantization Error of ±1/2 LSB. The remaining errors in the
AID converter are combinations of analog errors due to the
linear circuitry, matching and tracking properties of the
ladder and scaling networks, power supply rejection, and
reference errors. In summary, these errors consist ofil)itial
errors including Gain, Offset, Linearity, Differential Linearity, and Power Supply Sensitivity. Initial Gain and Offset
errors may be adjusted to zero. Gain drift over temperature
rotates the line (Figure I) about the zero or minus full scale
point (all bits Off) and Offset drift shifts the line left or right
over the operating temperature range. Linearity error is
unadjustable and is the most meaningful indicaior of AID
converter accuracy. Linearity error is the deviation of an
actual bit transition from the ideal transition value at any

binary (CSB) for unipolar input signal ranges and complementary offset binary (COB) for bipolar input signal ranges.
Complementary two's complement (CTC) may be obtained
by inverting MSB (Pin 1).

LAYOUT AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LAYOUT PRECAUTIONS
Analog and digital common are not connected internally in
the ADC7l but should be connected together as close to the
unit as possible, preferably to a large plane under the ADC.
If these grounds must be run separately, use wide conductor
patterns and a 0.0 1J.IF to 0.1J.IF non-polarized bypass capacitor between analog and digital commons at the unit. Low
impedance analog and digital commons returns are essential
for low noise performance. Coupling between analog inputs
and digital lines should be minimized by careful layout. The
comparator input (Pin 27) is extremely sensitive to noise.
Any connection to this point should be as short as possible
and shielded by Analog Common patterns.
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
The power supplies should be bypassed with tantalum capacitors as shown in Figure 8 to obtain noise free operation.
These capacitors should be located close to the ADC.
INPUT SCALING
The analog input should be scaled as close to the maximum
input signal range as possible in order to utilize the mal\imum
signal resolution of the AID converter. Connect the input
signal as shown in Table II. See Figure 9 for circuit details.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The accuracy of a successive approximation AID converter
is described by the transfer function shown in Figure 1. All
successive approximation AID converters have an inherent
quantization error of ±1/2LSB. Theremaining errors in the
AID converter are combinations of analog errors due to the
linear circuitry, matching and tracking properties of the
ladder and scaling networks, power supply rejection, and
reference errors. In summary, these errors consist of initial
errors including Gain, Offset, Linearity, Differential Linearity, and Power Supply Sensitivity. Initial Gain and Offset
errors may be adjusted to zero. Gain drift over temperature
rotates the line (Figure I) about the zero or minus full scale
point (all bits Off) and Offset drift shifts the line left or right
over the operating temperature range. Linearity error is
unadjustable and is the most meaningful indicator of AID
converter accuracy. Linearity error is the deviation of an
actual bit transition from the ideal transition value at any
level over the range of the AID converter. A differential
linearity error of ±1/2LSB means that the width of each bit
step over the range of the AID converter is lLSB, ±1/2LSB.

DISCUSSION
OF SPECIFICATIONS
The ADC76 is specified to meet critical performance criteria
for a wide variety of applications. The most critical specifications for an AID convener are linearity, drift. gain and
offset errors. and conversion speed effects on accuracy. This
ADC is factory-trimmed and tested for all critical key
specifications.
GAIN AND OFFSET ERROR

Initial Gain and Offset errors are factory-trimmed to typically ±o.1 % of FSR (±o.05% for unipolar offset) at 25°C.
These errors may be trimmed to zero by connecting external
trim potentiometers as shown in Figures 10 and II.

DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY ERROR

Differential linearity describes the step size between transition values. A differential linearity errorof±o.OO3% ofFSR
indicates that the size of any step may not vary from the ideal
step size by more than 0.003% of Full Scale Range.

ACCURACY VERSUS SPEED

In successive approximation AID converters, the conversion speed affects linearity and differential linearity errors.
Conversion speed and its effect on linearity and differential ~
linearity errors for the ADC76 are shown in Figure 6.
~

0.01

r---,---,---,..---,..---,

Changes in the DC power supply voltages will affect accuracy. The ADC76 power supply sensitivity is specified at
±o.OO3% of FSR/%Vs for the ±15V supplies and ±o.OOI5%
of FSR/%Vs for the +5V supply. Normally. regulated power
supplies with I % or less ripple are recommended for use
with this ADC. See Layout Precautions, Power Supply
Decoupling. and Figure 7.

Linearity error is not adjustable and is the most meaningful
indicator of AI D convener accuracy. Linearity is the deviation of an actual bit transition from the ideal transition value
at any level over the range of the AID convener.

LAYOUT AND

LAYOUT PRECAUTIONS
Analog and digital common are not connected internally in
the ADC76, but should be connected together as close to the
unit as possible, preferably to a large plane under the ADC.
If these grounds must be run separately, use a wide conductor pattern and a O.OIIlF to O.IIlF nonpolarized bypass
capacitor between analog and digital commons at the unit.
Low impedance analog and digital common returns are
essential for low noise performance. Coupling between
analog inputs and digital lines should be minimized by
careful layout. The comparator input (pin 27) is extremely
sensitive to noise. Any connection to this point should be as
short as possible and shielded by Analog Common or
±15VDC supply patterns.
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING

The power supplies should be bypassed with tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors as shown in Figure 7 to obtain noise
free operation. These capacitors should be located close to

OUTPUT DRIVE

Normally all ADC76 logic outputs will drive two standard
TTL loads; however, if long digital lines must be driven,
external logic buffers are recommended.
INPUT IMPEDANCE
The input signal to the ADC76 should be low impedance,
such as the output of an op amp, to avoid any errors due to
the relatively low input impedance of the ADC76.

If this impedance is not low, a buffer amplifier should be
added between the input signal and the direct input to the
ADC76 as shown in Figure 9.

Gain and Offset errors rnay be trimmed to zero using
external gain and offset trim potentiometers connected to the
ADC as shown in Figures 10 and 11. Multiturn potentiometers with IOOppm/"C or better TCRs are recommended for
minimum drift over temperature and time. These pots may
be any value from lOill to l00ill. All resistors should be
20% carbon or better. Pin 29 (Gain Adjust) and pin 27
(Offset Adjust) may be left open if no external adjustment is
required; however, pin 29 should always be bypassed with
O.oIIlf to Analog Common.

The analog input should be scaled as close to the maximum
input signal range as possible in order to utilize the maximum signal resolution of the AID converter. Connect the
input signal as shown in Table II. See Figure 8 for circuit
details.

DESCRIPTION
AND OPERATING FEATURES
The ADC700 is a 16-bit resolution successive approximation AID converter. Parallel digital data as well as serial data
is available. Several features have been included in the
ADC700 making it easier to interface with microprocessors
and/or serial data systems. Several analog input ranges are
available.
Some of the key operating features are described here. More
detail is given in later sections of the data sheet. Refer to the
block diagram above.
RESET

The ADC700 has a Reset input that must be asserted upon
power-up or after a power interruption. This initializes the
SAR, the output buffer register and Data Ready flag. Since
.microprocessor systems already use a power-on reset circuit,
the same system reset signal can be used to initialize the
ADC700.
PARALLEL DATA

The parallel data output is available through an 8-bit port
with 3-state output drivers. High byte and low byte are selected by HBEN (pin 10).
A buffer/latch is included between the successive approximation register (SAR) and the 3-state drivers. This feature
permits more flexible interface timing than is possible from
: most successive approximation converters.
The "old" word can be read during the next conversion. A
Data Ready flag (pin 12) is asserted when a "new" word is

9.1-24

in the buffer register. The Data Ready flag goes low ("0")
when the most significant byte (high byte) is read. If the
"old" word is not read, or if only the least significant byte
(low byte) is read, Data Ready is not reset. The next conversion output will overwrite the data latch when the conversion is complete. The Data Ready flag remains high. Refer
to timing diagrams in the Specifications section.
SERIAL DATA

Sixteen-bit serial data output is available (pin 11) along with
a serial output strobe (pin 14). This serial data strobe is not
the internal SAR clock but is a special strobe for serial data
consisting of 16 negative-going edges (during conversion)
occurring about 2000s after each serial data bit is valid.. This
feature eases the interface to shift registers or through optccouplers for applications requiring galvanic isolation.
STATUS

The familiar Status (or Busy) flag, present in successive approximation AID converters, is available (pin 13) and indicates that a conversion is in progress. Status is valid lIOnS
after assertion of the convert command (WR low). Status
cannot be used as a sample-hold control because there is not
enough time for the sample-hold to settle to the required
error band before the ADC700 makes its first conversion
decision.
CHIP SELECT

CS (pin 9) selects the ADC700. No other functions can be
implemented unless CS is asserted. WR (pin 7) is the startof-conversion strobe. RD. strobes each output data byte,
selectee! by HBEN (pin 10), to the 3-state drivers.

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol.33b

Or, Call Customer Service at 1·800·548·6132 (USA Only)
TWOS COMPLEMENT DATA CODE

Most Significant Bit, MSB

BTCEN (pin 23) is a logic function that implements the
Binary Twos Complement output code for bipolar (+ and -)
analog input signal operation. This feature is compatible
with twos complement arithmetic in microprocessor math
algorithms.

That binary digit that has the greatest value or weight. The
MSB weight is FSR/2.

Resolution
An N-bit binary-coded AID converter resolves the analog
input into 2N values represented by the 2N digital output
codes.

INTERNAL CLOCK
The ADC700 has a self-contained cIock to sequence the
AID logic. The clock is not available externally. An external
l6-pulse strobe (pin 14) is brought out to clock serial data
only. Use of ADC700 with external clock is not possible.

INTERNAL VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The ADC700 has an internal low-noise buried-zener voltage
reference. The reference circuit has been drift compensated
over the MIL temperature range using a laser irim algorithm.
The reference voltage is not available externally.

DISCUSSION
OF SPECIFICATIONS

ACCURACY
Linearity Error, Integral linearity Error (ILE)
Linearity Error is defined as the deviation of actual analog
input values from the ideal values about a straight line drawn
through the code mid-points near positive fulI scale (at + VFS
-lLSB) and at Zero input (at I/2LSB below the first code
transition, i.e. at Zero) or, in the case of bipolar operation,
near minus full scale (at 1/2LSB below the first code transition, i.e. at -V FS)' Despite the definition, however, code
transitions are easier to measure than code midpoints. Therefore linearity is measured as the deviation of the analog input
values from a line drawn between the first and last code
transitions. Linearity Error specifications are expressed in %
of FulI Scale Range (FSR)_ ADC700KH ILE is ±O.OO3% of
FSR which is 1/2 LSB at 14-bits_

BASIC DEFINITIONS

Differential Linearity Error (DLE), No Missing Codes

Refer to Figure 3. for an illustration of AID converter terminology and to Table II in the Calibration section.

Differential Linearity Error is defined as the deviation in
code width from the ideal value of 1LSB. If the DLE is
greater than -lLSB anywhere along the range, the AID will
have at least one missing code. ADC700KH is specified to
have a DLE of±O.006% of FSR, which is ±ILSB at 14 bits.
ADC700KH is specified to have no missing codes at the 14bit level over specified temperature ranges.

Full Scale Range, FSR
The nominal range of the AID converter. For ADC700, the
FSR is 20V forthe OV to +20V and the-lOY to +IOV input
ranges or IOV for the OV to + IOV and -5V to +5V input
ranges.

Least Significant Bit, LSB

Gain Error

The smallest analog input change resolved by the AID converter. For an AID converter with N bits output, the input
value of the LSB is FSR(2-N).

The deviation from the ideal magnitude of the input span
between the first code midpoint (at -VFS + l/2LSB, for
bipolar operation; at Zero for unipolar operation) to the last
code midpoint (VFS -lLSB). As with the linearity

Bipolar Offset Error-The deviation of the actual codemidpoint of the first code from the ideal value located
at I/2LSB below the ideal first transition value located at
-VFS +1/2LSB.
Again, transition values are the actual measured parameters.
Offset and Zero errors of the ADC700 may be trimmed 10
zero using external trim potentiometers. Offset Error is
expressed as a percentage of FSR.
Bipolar Zero Error-The deviation of the actual midscale-code midpoint value from zero. Transition values are
the actual measured parameter and it is 1/2 LSB below zero
volts. The error is comprised of Bipolar Offset Error, 1/2 the
Gain Error, and the Linearity Error of bit 1. Bipolar Zero
Error is expressed as a percentage of FSR.

Power Supply SensItivity
Power Supply Sensitivity describes the maximum change in
the full-scale transition value from the initial value for a
change in each power supply voltage. PSR is specified in
units of %FSR/% change in each supply voltage.

Power Supply WIrIng
Use heavy power supply and power supply common (ground)
wiring. A ground plane is usually the best solution for preserving dynamic performance and reducing noise coupling
into sensitive converter circuits.
When passing converter power through a connector, uSe
every available spare pin for making power supply return
connections, and use some of the pins as a Faraday shield to
separate the analog and digital common lines.

Power Supply Returns
(Analog Common and Digital Common)
Connect Analog Common and Digital Common together
right at the converter with the ground plane. This will usually
give the best performance. However, it may cause problems
for the system designer. Where it is absolutely necessary to
separate analog and digital power supply returns, each should
be separately returned to the power supply. Do not connect
Analog Common and Digital Common together and then run
a single wire to the power supply. Connect a 1 to 47!J.F
tantalum capacitor between Digital Common and Analog
Common pins as close to the package as possible.
Power Supply Bypassing
Every power-supply line leading into an AID converter must
be bypassed to its common pin. The bypass capacitor should
be located as close to the converter package as possible and
tied to a solid ground-connecting the capacitors to a noisy
ground defeats the purpose of the bypass. Use tantalum
capacitors with values of from IO!J.F to lOO!J.F and parallel
them with smaller ceramic capacitors for high frequency
filtering if necessary.

The major effect of power supply voltage deviations from
the rated values will be a small change in the Gain (scale
factor). Power Supply Sensitivity is also a function of ripple
frequency. Figure 4 illustrates typical Power Supply Sensitivity performance of ADC700 versus ripple frequency.

Separate Analog and Digital SIgnals
Digital signals entering or leaving the layout should have
minimum length to minimize crosstalk to analog wiring.
Keep analog signals as far away as possible from digital
signals. If they must cross, cross them at right angles. Coaxial
cable may be necessary for analog inputs in some situations.

INSTALLATION

Shield Other Sensitive Points
The mo~t critical of these is the comparator input (pin 1). If
this pin is not used for offset adjustment, then it should be
surrounded with ground plane or low-impedance power supply plane. If it is used for offset adjustment, the series

POWER SUPPLY SELECTION
Linear power supplies are preferred. Switching power supply specifications may appear to indicate low noise output,
but these specifications are rms specs. The spikes generated
in switchers may be hard to filter. Their high-frequency
components may be extremely difficult to keep out of the
power supply return system. If switchers must be used, their
outputs must be carefully filtered and the power supply itself
should be shielded and located as far away as possible from
precision analog circuits.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Because of the high resolution and linearity of the ADC700,
system design problems such as ground path resistance and
contact resistance become very important. For a l6-bit resolution converter with a +IOV Full-Scale Range, lLSB is
1531lV. Circuit situations that cause only second- or thirdorder errors in 8-, 10-, or 12-bit AID converters can induce
first-order errors in 16-bit resolution devices.

resistor and potentiometer should be located as close to the
converter as possible.
The Gain Adjust (pin 4) is an input that has a relatively high
input impedance and is susceptible to noise pickup. The
Gain Adjust pin should be bypassed with a O.OIIlF to O.l!1F
capacitor whether or not the gain adjust feature is used.
If the 20V Analog input range is used (pin 28), the 10V
Range input (pin 27) may need to be shielded with ground
plane to reduce noise pickup.

ANALOG SIGNAL SOURCE IMPEDANCE
The input impedance of the ADC700, typical of most successive approximation AID converters, is relatively low
(2.5kQ to lOill). The input current of a successive approximation A/D converter changes rapidly during the conversion algorithm as each bit current is compared to the
analog input current. Since the output impedance of a
closed-loop amplifier or a sample-hold amplifier increases
with frequency and, in addition, the amplifier must settle to
the required accuracy in time for the nex.t comparison/
decision after such a disturbance, care must be taken to
select the proper driving amplifier.
Unfortunately, high-accuracy operational amplifiers tend to
have low bandwidth, while wide-band amplifiers tend to
have lower accuracy. One solution is to use a wide-band but
perhaps less precise amplifier. Another solution is to add a
wide-band buffer amplifier such as the Burr-Brown OPA633
inside the feedback loop of a slower (but precision) amplifier, Figure 5. This reduces the output impedance at high frequencies yet preserves the accuracy at low frequencies.
When a sample/hold is needed, a high-linearity, high-speed
sample/hold such as the Burr-Brown SHC76 should be used
to drive the ADC700.

ANALOG INPUT RANGES
The analog input circuits of the ADC700 can be connected
to accept unipolar or bipolar input signals. These ranges and
connections are tabulated in Table I. Circuit connections are
shown in Figures 6 and 7. Gain and offset adjustments are
described in the calibration section.
To operate the ADC700 with a range that gives other convenient values for the LSB, the input resistor may be
increased or decreased slightly without seriously affecting
the Gain Drift of the converter. Since the input resistors of
the ADC700 are within ±2% from unit to unit, this can be

consistently done with a fixed series or parallel resistor. The
ADC700 can then be calibrated using the Gain and Offset
adjustments described in the calibration section. For example, using the ±lOV input range, one can decrease the
range slightly by paralleling the 10kQ input resistor (pin 28
to pin I) with a 610kQ metal film resistor to achieve a
300llV LSB instead of the nominal standard 305.175781lV
binary LSB.

OPTIONAL EXTERNAL GAIN AND OFFSET TRIM
Gain and Offset Error may be trimmed to zero using external
Gain and Offset trim potentiometers connected to the
ADC700 as shown in Figures 6 and Figure 7. A calibration
procedure in described in the Operating Instructions section.
Multiturn potentiometers with lOOppm/"C or betterTCR are
recommended for minimum drift over temperature. These
potentiometers may be any value from lOill to lOOill. All
resistors should be 20% carbon or better. Pin 1 (Comparator
In) and pin 4 (Gain Adjust) may be left open if no external
adjustment is planned; however, pin 4 should always be
bypassed with O.OIIlF or larger to Analog Common.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CALIBRATION
Offset and Gain may be trimmed by external Offset and
Gain potentiometers. Offset is adjusted first and then Gain.
Calibration values are listed in Table II for all ADC700
input ranges. Offset and Gain calibration can be accomplished to a precision of about ±l/2LSB using a static
adjustment procedure described below. By summing a small
sine or triangular wave voltage with the accurate calibration
voltage applied to the analog input, the output can be swept
through each of the calibration codes' to more accurately
deteimine the transition points listed in Table II. NOTE: The
transition points are not the same as the code midpoints used
in the static calibration example.

out the range. Thus. every input code width (quantum) must
have a finite width. If an input quantum has a value of zero
(a differential linearity error of -ILSB). a missing code will
occur.

LINEARITY ERROR
Linearity error is defined as the deviation of actual code
transition values from the ideal transition values. Ideal
transition values lie on a line drawn through zero (or minus
full scale for bipolar operation) and plus full scale. The zero
value is located at an analog input value I/2LSB before the
first code transition (OOOHEX to OOIHex)' The full-scale value
is located at an analog value 3/2LSB beyond the last code
transition (FFEaex to FFFHex) (see Figure I).

ADC774KP. KH. and TH grades are guaranteed to have no
missing codes to 12-bit resolution over their respective
specific;:ation temperature ranges.

UNIPOLAR OFFSET ERROR
An ADC774 connected for unipolar operation has an analog
input range of OV to plus full scale. The f1l'St output code
transaction should occur at an analog input value I/2LSB
above OV. The unipolar offset temperature coefficient specifies the change of this transition value versus a change in
ambient temperature.

BIPOLAR OFFSET ERROR

FFE

AID converter specifications have historically defined bipolar offset as the first transition value above the minus fullscale value. The ADC774 specifications. however. follow
the terminology defined for the 574 converter several years
ago. Thus. bipolar offset is located near the midscale value
of OV (bipolar zero) at the output code transition 7FFHEX to

Thus. for a converter connected for bipolar operation and

The last output transition (FFEaex to FFFHex ) occurs for an

value. The full-scale calibration temperature coefficient
specifies the maximum change of the code transition value
versus a change in ambient temperature.

scale calibration value. This change, of course, results in a
proponional change in all code transition values (i.e., a gain
error). The specification describes the maximum change in
the full-scale calibration value from the initial value for a
change in each power supply voltage.
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENTS
The temperature coefficients for full-scale calibration,
unipolar offset and bipolar offset specify the maximum
change from the +25°C value to the value at TMIN or T MAX •
QUANTIZATION UNCERTAINTY
Analog-to-digital conveners have an inherent quantization
error of ±1/2ILSB. This error is a fundamental property of
the quantization process and cannot be eliminated.
CODE WIDTH (QUANTUM)
Code width, or quantum, is defined as the range of analog
input values for which a given output code will occur. The
ideal code width is ILSB.

INSTALLATION
LAYOUT PRECAUTIONS
Analog (Pin 9) and digital (Pin 15) commons are not
connected together internally in the ADC774, but should be
connected together as close to the unit as possible and to an
analog common ground plane beneath the convener on the
component side of the board. In addition, a wide conductor
pattern should run directly from Pin 9 to the analog supply
common, and a separate wide conductor pattern from Pin IS
to the digital supply common. Analog common (Pin 9)
typically carries +8mA.
If the single-point system common cannot be established
directly at the converter; a single wide conductor pattern
then connects these two pins to the system common. In
either case, the common return of the analog input signal
should be referred to Pin 9 of the ADC. This prevents any
voltage drops that might occur in the power supply common
returns from appearing in series with the input signal.
If the 20V analog input range is used (etiher bipolar or
unipolar), the IOV range input (Pin 13) should be shielded
with ground plane to reduce noise pickUp. If the bipolar
offset input (Pin 12) is not used to externally trim the
unipolar offset as shown in Figure 2, connect it to Analog
Common (Pin 9).
Coupling between analog input and digital lines should be
minimized by careful layout. For instance, if the lines must
cross, they should do so at right angles. Parallel analog and
digital lines should be separated from each other by a pattern
connected to common.
If external fu II scale and offset potentiometers are used, the
potentiometers and associated resistors should be located as
close to the ADC774 as possible. If no trim adjustments are
used, the fixed resistors should likewise be as close as
possible.

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol. 33b

POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
Logic and analog power supplies should be bypassed with
10llF tantalum type capacitors located close to the converter
to obtain noise-free operation. Noise on the power supply
lines can degrade the converter's performance. Noise and
spikes from a switching power supply are especially troublesome.
ANALOG SIGNAL SOURCE IMPEDANCE
The signal source supplying the analog input signal to the
ADC774 will be driving into a nominal DC input impedance
of either 51dl or 101dl. However, the output impedance of
the driving source should be very low, such as the output
impedance provided by a wideband, fast-settling operational
amplifier. Transients in NO input current are caused by the
changes in output current of the internal D/A convener as it
tests the various bits. The output voltage of the driving
source must remain constant while furnishing these fast
current changes. If the application requires a sample/hold,
select a sample/hold with sufficient bandwidth to preserve
the accuracy or use a separate wideband buffer amplifier to
lower the output impedance.

RANGE CONNECTIONS
The ADC774 offers four standard input ranges: OV to + IOV,
OV to +20V, ±5V, and ±IOV. If a IOV input range is
required, the analog input signal should be connected to Pin
13 of the converter. A signal requiring a 20V range is
connected to Pin 14. In either case the other pin of the two
is left unconnected. Full-scale and offset adjustmens are
described below.
To operate the converter with a IO.24V (2.5mV LSB) or
20,48V (5mV LSB) input range, insert a 1200 1% metalfilm resistor in series with Pin 13 for the 10.24V range, or
a 240n 1% metal-film resistor in series with pin 14 for the
20.48V range. Offset adjustments are still perfomed as
described below. A fixed metal-film resistor can be used
because the input impedance of the ADC774 is trimmed to
typically less than ±2% of the nominal value.

CALIBRATION
OPTIONAL EXTERNAL FULL-SCALE AND
OFFSET ADJUSTMENTS
Offset and full-scale errors rnay be trimmed to zero using
external offset and full-scale trim potentiometers connected
to the ADC774 as shown in Figures 2 and 3 for unipolar and
bipolar operation.
CALIBRATION PROCEDUREUNIPOLAR RANGES

If adjustment of unipolar offset and full scale is not required,
replace R. with a son, I % metal-film resistor and connect
Pin 12 to Pin 9, omitting the adjustment network.
If adjustment is required, connect the converter as shown in
Figure 2. Sweep the input through the end-point transition
voltage (OV + I/2LSB; + 1.22mV for the 10V range, +2.44mV
for the IOV range) that causes the output code to be DBO ON

The Burr-Brown ADC774 can be easily interfaced to most
microprocessor systems and other digital systems. The microprocessor may take full control of each conversion. or the
converter may operate in a stand-alone mode. controlled
only by the RiC input. Full control consists of selecting an
8- or 12-bit conversion cycle. initiating the conversion. and
reading the output data when ready-choosing either 12 bits
all at once. or 8 bits followed by 4 bits in a left-justified
CS. AD' RiC. and CE)
format. The five control inputs
are all TIUCMOS-compatible. The functions of the control
inputs are described in Table II. The control function truth
table is listed in Table III.

ADC774 to replace the HI774.

STAND-ALONE OPERATION
For stand-alone operation. control of the converter isaccomplished by a single control line connected to

mode ~. and Au are connected to digital common and CE
and 12{8 are connected to VLOGIC (+5V). The output data are
presented as 12-bit words. The stand-alone mode is used in
systems containing dedicated input ports which do not
require full bus interface capability.

Ric.

Conversion is initiated by a high-to-low transition of I!!.C.
The three-state data output buffers are enable when RIC is
high and STATUS is low. Thus. there are two possible
modes of operation; conversion can be initiat~ with either
positive or negative pulses. In either case the RIC pulse must
remain low for a minimum for sOns.
Figure 4 illustrates timing when conversion is. initiated by
and RIC pulse which goes low and returns to the high state
during the .conversion. In this case. the three-state outputs
go to the high-impedance state in response to the falling
edge of RIC and are enable for external access of the data
after completion of the conversion. Figure 5 illustrates the
timing when conversion is initiated by a positive RIC pulse.
In this mode the output data from the previous conversion is
enable during the positive portion of RiC. A Dew conversion
is started on the falling edge of RiC. and the three-state
outputs return to the high-impedance state until· the next
occurrence of a high RIC pulse. Timing specifications for
stand-alone operation are listed in Table IV.

conversion continues for 8 bits. The full I2-bit conversion
will occur if Ao is low. If all 12 bits are read following an
8-bit conversion. the 3 LSBs (DBO-DB2) will be low Oogic
0) and DB3 will be high (logic I), A. is latched because it
is also involved in enabling the output buffers, No other
control inputs are latched.

CONVERSION START
The convener is commanded to initiate a conversion by a
transition occurring on any of three logic inputs (CE. CS.
and RIC) as shown in Table III. Conversion is initiated by
the last of the three to reach the required state and thus all
three may be dynamically controlled. If necessary. all three
may change state simultaneously, and the nominal delay
time is the same regardless of which input actually stans
conversion. If it is desired that a panicular input establish the

RIC Is High.

actual stan of conversion. the other two should be stable a
minimum of sOns prior to the transition of that input. Timing
relationships for stan of conversion timing are illustrated in
Figure 6. The specifications for timing are contained in
Table V.
The STATUS output shows the current stale of the convener
by being in a high state only during conversion. During this
time the three-state output buffers remain in a high-impedance state, and therefore data cannot be read during conversion. During this period additional transitions of the three
digital inputs which control conversion will be ignored. so
that conversion cannot be prematurely terminated or restaned. However. if A. changes state after the beginning of
conversion. any additional stan conversion transition will
latch the new state of Ao. possibly causing an incorrect
conversion length (8 bits versus 12 bits) for that conversion.

READING OUTPUT DATA
After conversion is initiated, the output data buffers remain
in a high-impedance siate until the following four logic
cOnditions are simultaneously met: RIC high, STATUS low,
CE high. and CS low. Upon satisfaction of these conditions,
the data lines are enabled according to the stale of inputs 12/
'8 and Au. See Figure 7 and Table V for timing relationships
and specifications.

9.1-40

In most applications the IUS input will be hard-wired in
either the high or low condition, although it is fully TTLand CMOS-compatible and may be actively driven if desired. When 1218 is high, all 12 output lines (i)BO-DBll)
are enabled simultaneously for full data word transfer 10 a
12-bit or 16-bit bus. In this situation the A. stale is ignored

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol.33b

Or, Call Customer Service at 1·800·548·6132 (USA Only)
fonnats of the two S-bil bytes are shown in Figure S. The
design of the ADC774 guarantees that the Ao input may be
toggled at any time with no damage to the converter; the
outputs which are tied together as illustrated in Figure 9
cannot be enabled at the same time.
In the majority of applications. the read operation will be
attempted only after the conversion is complete and the
STATUS output has gone low. In those situations requiring
the earliest possible access to the data. the read may be
started as much as (tnn + tHS ) before STATUS goes low.
Refer to Figure 7 for these timing relationships.

When 12/8 is low. the data is presented in the fonn of two
S-bit bytes. with selection of the byte of interest accomplished by the state of Ao during the read cycle. Connection
of the ADC774 to an S-bit bus for transfer of left-justified
data is illustrated in Figure 9. The Ao input is usually driven
by the least significant bit of the address bus. allowing
storage of the output data word in two consecutive memory
locations.
When Ao is low. the byte addressed contains the SMSBs.
When Au is high. the byte addressed contains the 4LSBs
from the conversion followed by four logic zeros which
have been forced by the control logic. The left-justified

DESCRIPTION

:IE

The ADS602 is a high-speed successive approximation analog-to-digital converter with internal sample/
hold amplifier. This unique design utilizes a bipolar
technology with on-chip thin film resistors to preserve
analog accuracy and a high-speed CMOS chip to
perform digital logic control. Outstanding linearity.
noise. and dynamic range are achieved by this converter design. The ADS602 is thoroughly tested for
dynamic performance.
The ADS602 is complete with internal reference.
clock. and comparator and is packaged in a 32-pin
ceramic DIP. Sample rate is set at the factory to
IMHz. Performance is guaranteed with no missing

codes over the input voltage. power supply. and operating temperature range. The gain and offset errors are
laser trimmed to specification. Optionally they rnay be
externally adjusted to zero.
The user can switch between unipolar (OV to +lOY)
and bipolar (±5V) operation through one digital logic
level input.

All digital input and output are TfL-compatible. Power
supply requirements are ±15V and +5V.

TABLE III. Control Input Truth Table.

Ric_

Conversion is initiated by a High-to-Low transition (Hold/
Convert) of RiC. This transition commands the sample/bold
to Hold and the converter logic to start the conversion. The
Sample-To-Hold settling time is so short that the sample/bold
is fully settled to the required accuracy before the first
successive approximation AID decision occurs.

Ric

The three-state data output buffers are enabled when
is
High and Status isLow _Thus, there are two possible modes of
operation; conversion can be initiat~ with either positive or
negative pulses. In either case the RIC pulse must remain low
for a minimum of sOns_
Figure 6 illustrates timing when the Hold/Convert command
is initiated by an RIC pulse which goes Low and returns to the
High state during the conversion. In this case, the three-state
outputs go to the high-impedance state in response to the
falling edge of RIC and are enabled for external access of the
data after completion of the conversion. Figure 7 illustrat~
the timing when Hold/Convert is initiated by a positive RIC
pulse. In this mode the output data from the previo~ conversion is enabled during the positive portion of RIC. A new
conversion is started on the falling edge of RIC, and the threestate outputs return to the high-impedance state until the next
occurrence of a high RIC pulse. Timing specifications for
stand-alone operation are listed in Table IV.

FIGURE 7. Ric Pulse High"---Output Enables Only While
Ric Is High.
Note that, unlike the RIC command input timing for nonsampling NO converters such as the ADC574N674A{774, a
time period (Acquisition Time) must be allowed for the
sample/hold amplifier to acquire the next sample. This time
period, occurring immediately after the conversion is complete (Status goes Low), is IJlS typical (1.5JlS maximum) for
acquisition to ±O.OI % of Full Scale Range for a lOY analog
input change from the previous held value to the next.
FULLY CONTROLLED OPERATION

Throughput Period
The throughput period, reciprocal of the sampling rate, (S-bit
or 12-bit) is determined by the state of the An input, which is
latched upon receipt of a Hold/Convert start transition (described below). If Ao is latched High, the conversion continues for S bits. The full l2-bit conversion will occur if Ao is
Low. If all 12 bits are read following an S-bit conversion, the
3LSBs (DBO-DB2) will be Low (logic 0) and DB3 will be
High (logic 1). Ao is latched because it is also involved in
enabling the output buffers. No other control inputs are
latched.
Conversion Start
The converter is commanded to initiate a Hold/Convert operatio!!...by a trans!!!on occurring on any of three logic inputs
(CE, CS, and RIC) as shown in Table III. Conversion is
initiated by the last of the three logic inputs to reach the
required state and thus all three may be dynamically controlled. If necessary all three may change state simultaneously, and the nominal delay time is the same regardless of
which input actually starts the operation. If it is desired that a
particular input establish the actual start of operation, the
other two should be stable a minimum of 50ns prior to the
transition of that input. Timing relationships for start of
operation timing are illustrated in Figure S. The specifications
for timing are contained in Table V.
The Status output indicates the current state of the converter
by being in a high state only during conversion. During this
time the three-state output buffers remain in a high-impedance state, and therefore data cannot be read during conversion. During this period additional transitions of the three
digital inputs which control conversion will be ignored, so
that conversion cannot be prematurely tenninated or restarted. However, if Ao changes state after the beginning of
operation, any additional Hold/Convert transition will latch
the new state of Ao' possibly resulting in an incorrect conversion length (S-bits vs. l2-bits) for that conversion.

9.1-70

FIGURE S. ConverSion Cycle Timing.
,READING OUTPUT DATA
After operation is initiated, the output data buffers remain in a
high-impedance state until the following four logic conditions are simultaneously met: RIC High, Status Low, CE
High and CS Low. Upon satisfaction of these conditions the
data lines are enabled according to the state of inputs I2,iS and
An. See Figure 11 and Table V for timing relationships and
specifications.

In most applications the 12,iii input will be hard-wired in
either the High or Low condition, although it is fully TIL-and
CMOS-compatible and may be actively driven if desired.
When 12/8 is High. all 12 output lines (DBO-DBll) are
enabled simultaneously for full data word transfer to a 12-bit
or 16-bit bus. In this situation the state of Ao is ignored.

When 12/8 is Low, the data is presented in the form of two 8bit bytes. with selection of the byte of interest accomplished
by the state of Ao during the Read cycle. Connection of the
ADS807/808 to an 8-bit bus for transfer of left-justified data
is illustrated in Figure 9. The Ao input is usually driven by the
least significant bit of the address bus. allowing storage of the
output data word in two consecutive memory locations.

FIGURE 10. l2-Bit Data Format for 8-Bit Bus Syslem.

When Ao is Low. the byte addressed contains the 8MSBs.
When Ao is High. the byte addressed contains the 4LSBs from
the conversion followed by four logic zeros which have been
forced by the control logic. The left-justified formats of the
two 8-bit bytes are shown in Figure 10. The design of the
ADS807/808 guarantees that the Aa input may be toggled at
any time with no damage to the converter; the outputs which
are tied together as illustrated in Figure 9 cannot be enabled at
the same time.

C2L..J

In the majority of applications the Reaa operation will be
attempted only after the conversion is complete and the Status
output has gone Low. In those situations requiring the earliest
possible access to the data, the Read operation may be started
as much as (too max + tas max) before Status goes Low. Of
course. Acquisition Time must be allowed for the samplel
hold before the next Hold/Convert operation is initiated.
Refer to Figure II for these timing relationships.

CAUTION
The ADS7800 is an ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive
device. The digital control inputs have a special FET structure. which turns on when the input exceeds the supply by
18V, to minimize ESD dan1age_ However, permanent
dan1age may occur on unconnected devices subject to high
energy electrostatic fields. When not in use, devices must be
stored in conductive foam or shunts. The protective foam
should be discharged to the destination socket before devices
are removed.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS7800 combines the advantages of advanced CMOS
technology (logic density, stable capacitors, and good
analog switches) with Burr-Brown's proven skills in lasertrimmed thin-film resistors to provide a complete sampling
analog-to-digital convener.
A basic charge-redistribution successive approximation
architecture convens analog input voltages into digital
words. Figure I shows the operation of a simplified three
bit charge redistribution A-to-D. Precision laser-trimmed
scaling resistors at the input divide standard input ranges
(±lOV or ±5V for the ADS7800) into levels compatible with
the CMOS characteristics of the internal capacitor array.

OPERATION
BASIC OPERATION
Figure 2 shows the simple hookup circuit required to operate
the ADS7800 in a ±10V range in the Conven Mode. A
conven command arriving on pin 19, RiC, (a pulse taking
pin 19 LOW for a minimum of 4Ons) puts the ADS7800 in
the hold mode, and a conversion is staned. Pin 21, BUSY,
will be held LOW during the conversion, and rises only after
the conversion is completed and the data has been transferred to the output latches. Thus, the rising edge of the
signal on pin 21 can be used to read the data from the
conversion. Also, during conversion, the BUSY signal puts
the output data lines in Hi-Z states and inhibits input lines.
This means that pulses on pin 19 are ignored, so that new

FIGURE 1. 3-Bit Charge Redistribution A-to-D.
While in the sampling mode, the capacitor array switch for
the MSB capacitor (SI) is in position "S", so that the charge
on the MSB capacitor is proponional to the voltage level of
the analog input signal, and the remaining array switches (Sz
and S3) are set to position "R" to provide an accurate bipolar
offset from the reference source REF. At the same time,
switch Sc is also in the closed position to auto-zero any
offset errors in the CMOS comparator.
When a conven command is received, switch SI is opened
to trap a charge on the MSB capacitor proponional to the
input level at the time of the sampling command, switches
Sz and S3 are opened to trap an offset charge, and switch Sc
is opened to float the comparator input. The charge trapped
on the capacitor array can now be moved between the three
capacitors in the array by connecting switches SI' Sz and S3
to positions "R" (to connect to REF) or "G" (to connect to
GND) successively, changing the voltage generated at the
comparator input node.
The first approximation connects the MSB capacitor via
switch SI to REF, while switches Sz and S3 are connected

HIGH or LOW, the logic will then latch SI in position "R"
or "G", and moves on to make the next approximation by
connecting Sz to REF and S3 to GND. 'Yhen the three
successive approximation steps are made for this simple
convener, the voltage level at the comparator will be within
I/2LSB of GND, and the data output word will be based on
reading the positions of SI' Sz and S3'

as a result of spurious signals or to shon-cycle the
ADS7800.
In the Read Mode, the input to pin 19 is kept normally LOW,
and a HIGH pulse is used to read data and initiate a
on pin 19
conversion. In this mode, the rising edge of

previous conversion becomes valid. The falling edge then

The ADS7800 will begin acquiring a new sample ~
as the conversion is completed, even before the BUSY
output rises on pin 21, and will track the input signal until
the next conversion is staned, whether in the Conven Mode

For use with an 8-bit bus, the data can be read out in two
bytes under the control of pin 18, HBE. With a LOW input
on pin 18, at the end of a conversion, the 8 LSBs of data
are loaded into the latches on pins 9 through 12 and 14
through 17. Taking pin 18 HIGH then loads the 4 MSBs on
pins 14 through 17, with pins 9 through 12 being forced
LOW.

CONTROLLING THE ADS7800
The ADS7800 can be easily interfaced to most microprocessor-based and other digital systems. The microprocessor
may take full control of each conversion, or the ADS7800
ma..! operate in a: stand-alone mode, controlled only by the
RIC input. Full control consists of initiating the conversion
and reading the output data at user command, transmitting
data either all 12-bits in one parallel word, or in two 8-bit
bytes. The three control inputs (CS, RiC and HBE) are all
'ITL/CMOS compatible. The functions of the control lines
are shown in Table II.

ANALOG INPUT RANGES
The ADS7800 offers two standard bipolar input ranges:
± IOV and ±5V. If a ±IOV range is required, the analog input
signal should be connected to pin I. A signal requiring a
±5V range should be connected to pin 2. In either case, the
other pin of the two must be grounded or connected to the
adjustment circuits described in the section on calibration.
(See Figures 4 and 5, or 10 and II.)

For stand-alone operation, control of the ADS7800 is accomplished by a single control line connected to RiC. In this
mode, CS and HBE are connected to GND. The output data
are presented as 12-bit words. The stand-alone mode is used
in systems containing dedicated input ports which do not
require full bus interface capability.
Conversion is initiated by a HIGH-to-LOW transition on
RiC. The three-state data output buffers are enabled when
RIC is HIGH and BUSY is HIGH. Thus, there are· two
possible modes of operation: conversion can be initiated
with either positive or negative pulses. In either case, the
RiC pulse must remain LOW a minimum of 4Ons.

CONVERSION START
A conversion is initiated on the ADS7800 only bya negative
transition occurring on RiC, as shown in Table I. No other
combination ofstates or transitions will initiate a conversion.
Conversion is inhibited if either CS or HBE are IDGH, or
if BUSY is LOW. CS and HBEshould be stable a minimum
of 25ns prior to the transition on RiC.Timing relationships
for start of conversion are illustrated in Figure 8.
The BUSY output indicates the current state of the converter
by being LOW only during conversion. During this time the
three-state output buffers remain in a Hi-Z state, and
therefore data cannot be read during conversion. During this
period, additional transitions on the three digital inputs (CS,
RiC and HBE) will be ignored, so that conversion cannot
be prematurely terminated or restarted.

OPTIONAL EXTERNAL GAIN AND OFFSET TRIM
Offset and full-scale errors may be trimmed to zero using
external offset and full-scale trim potentiometers connected

INTERNAL CLOCK

The ADS7800 has an internal clock that is factory trimmed
to achieve a typical conversion time of 2.47J1S, and a
maximum conversion time over the full operating temperature range of 2.7J1S. No external adjustments are required,
and with the guaranteed maximum acquisition time of
300ns, throughput performance is assured with convert
pulses as close as 3~s.
READING DATA
After conversion is initiated, the output buffers remain in a
Hi-Z state until the following three logic conditions are simultaneously met: RiC is HIGH, BUSY is HIGH and CS
is LOW. Upon satisfaction of these conditions, the data lines
are enabled according to the state of HBE. See Figure 9 and

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
First. trim offset. by applying at the input (pin I or 2) the
mid-point transition voltage (-2.44mV for the ±lOV range.
-1.22mV for the ±5V range.) With the ADS7800 converting continually. adjust potentiometer R. until the MSB (D II
on pin 5) is toggling alternately HIGH and LOW.
Next adjust full scale. by applying at the input a DC input
signal that is 312LSB below the nominal full scale voltage
(+9.9927V for the ±lOV range. +4.9963V for the ±5V
range.) With the ADS7800 converting continually. adjust
R2 until the LSB (DO on pin 17) is toggling HIGH and LOW
with all of the other bits HIGH.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Because of the high resolution and linearity of the ADS7800.
system design problems such as ground path resistance and
contact resistance become very important.

ANALOG SIGNAL SOURCE IMPEDANCE
The input resistance of the ADS7800 is 6.3kn or 4.2kn (for
the ±IOV and ±5V ranges respectively.) To avoid introducing distortion, the source resistance must be very low, or
constant with signal level. The output impedance provided
by most op amps is ideal.
Pins 23 (Vso) and 24 (VSA) are not connected internally on
the ADS7800. to maximize accuracy on the chip. They
should be connected together as close as possible to the unit.
Pin 24 may be slightly more sensitive than pin 23 to supply
variations, but to maintain maximum system accuracy, both
should be well isolated from digital supplies with wide load
variations.
To limit the effects of digital switching elsewhere in a
system on the analog performance of the system, it often
makes sense to run a separate +5V supply conductor from
the supply regulator to any analog components requiring
+5V. including the ADS7800.

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol.33b

The Vs pins (23 and 24) should be connected
together and bypassed with a parallel combination of a
6.8j1F Tantalum capacitor and a 0.1j1F ceramic capacitor
located close to the converter to obtain noise-free operation.
(S~ Figure 2.) The -Vs pin 22 should be bypassed with a
I j1F tantalum capacitor. again as close as possible to the
ADS7800.
Noise on the power supply lines can degrade converter performance. especially noise and spikes from a switching
power supply. Appropriate supplies or filters must be used.
The GND pins (4 and 13) are also separated internally, and
should be directly connected to a ground plane under the
converter if at all possible. A ground plane is usually the best
solution for preserving dynamic performance and reducing
noise coupling into sensitive converter circuits. Where any
compromises must be made. the common return of the
analog input signal should be referenced to pin 4, AGND.
on the ADS7800. which prevents any voltage drops that
might occur in the power supply common returns from
appearing in series with the input signal.

Coupling between analog input and digital lines should be
minimized by careful layout. For instance, if the lines must
cross, they should do so at right angles. Parallel analog and ~
digital lines should be separated from each other by a pattern ~
connected to common.

If external full scale and offset potentiometers are used. the
potentiometers and related resistors should be located as
close to the ADS7800 as possible.
REFERENCE BYPASS
Pin 3 (REF) should be bypassed with a 22j1F to 47J.lF
tantalum capacitor. A rated working voltage of 2V or more
is acceptable here. This pin is used to enhance the system
accuracy of the internal reference circuit, and is not recommended for driving external signals. If there are important
system reasons for using the ADS7800 reference externally,
the output of pin 3 must be appropriately buffered.

"HOT SOCKET" PRECAUTION
Two separate +5V Vs pins, 23 and 24, are used to minimize
noise caused by digital transients. If one pin is powered and
the other is not, the ADS7800 may "Latch Up" and draw
excessive current. In normal operation, this is not a problem
because both pins will be soldered together. However,
during evaluation, incoming inspection, repair, etc., where
the potential of a "Hot Socket" exists, care should be taken
to power the ADS7800 only after it has been socketed.
MINIMIZING "GLITCHES"
Coupling of external transienis into an analog-to-digital
convener can cause errors which are difficult to debug. In
addition to the discussions earlier on layout considerations
for supplies, bypassing and grounding, there are several
other useful steps that can be taken to get the best analog
performance out of a system using the ADS7800. These
potential system problem sources are panicularly imponant
to consider when developing a new system, and looking for
the causes of errors in breadboards.

First, care should be taken to avoid glitches during critical
times in the sampling and conversion process. Since·the
ADS7800 has an intemal sample/hold function, the signal
that puts it into the hold state (RiC going LOW) is critical,
falling
as it would be on any sample/hold amplifier. The
edge should be sharp and have minimal ringing, especially
during the 20ns after it falls.

Ric

9.1-82

Although not normally required, it is also good practice to
avoid glitching the ADS7800 while bit decisions are being
made. Since the above discussion calls for a fast, clean rise
and fall on Ric, it makes sense to keep the rising edge of
the conven pulse outside the time when bit decisions are
being made. In other words, the conven pulse should either
be shon (under lOOns so that it transitions before the MSB
decision), or relatively long (over 2.75JlS to transition after
the LSB decision).
Next, although the data outputs are forced into a Hi-Z state
during conversion, fast bus transients can still be capacitively coupled into the ADS7800. If the data bus experiences fast transients during conversion, these transients can
be attenuated by adding a logic buffer to the data outputs.
The BUSY output can be used to enable the buffer.
Naturally, transients on the analog input signal are to be
avoided, especially at times within ±2Ons of RiC going
LOW, when they may be trapped as pan of the charge on
the capacitor array. This requires careful layout of the circuit
in front of the ADS7800.
Finally, in multiplexed systems, the timing on when the
multiplexer is switched may affect the analog performance
of the system. In most applications, the multiplexer can be
switched as scion as Ric goes LOW (with appropriate
delays), but this may affect the conversion if the switched
signal shows glitches or significant ringing at the ADS7800
input. Whenever possible, it is safer to wait until the
conversion is completed before switching the multiplexer.
The extremely fast acquisition time and conversion time of
the ADS7800 make this practical in many applications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADC601 is a successive approximation analog-todigital converter as shown on the front page of this product
data sheet. A common problem with other successive approximation ND converters is input current transients caused
by the D/A converter's switching. This requires a fastsettling amplifier to drive the input and to provide a low
source impedance at high frequency.
To minimize this problem, the ADC60l's comparatoris connected in a differential mode, greatly reducing the input
transients, In addition, the input voltage scaling resistors
reduce the voltage that is applied to the + input of the
comparator. For best performance, a fast settiing wideband
sample/hold amplifier such as Burr-Brown's SHC804 is stilI
recommended to drive the ADC601. The small signal settling time of this amplifier should be less than lOOns if
sampling rates approach I MHz,
The accuracy of a successive approximation analog-todigital converter is described by the transfer function shown
in Figure I. All successive approximation AID converters

have an inherent quantization error of ±II2LSB. The remaining elTOIll in the NO converter are combinations of analog
errors due to the linear circuitry matching and tracking
properties of the ladder and scaling networks, power supply
rejection, reference errors and the dynamic errors of the OAC
and comparator. Initial gain and offset errors may be adjusted
to zero, gain drift over temperature rotates the transfer
function (Figure I) about the zero point, and offset drift shifts
the transfer function left or right over the operating temperature range. Linearity error is not adjustable, but it is the most
meaningful indicator of NO converter accuracy. Integral
linearity error is the deviation of an actual bit transition from
the best fit straight line transfer function of the NO converter. A differential linearity error of ±II2LSB means that
the width of each bit step over the range of the NO converter
is ILSB, ±112 LSB. The ADC601 is guaranteed to have no
missing codes over its specified temperature range.

ACCURACY VS CONVERSION TIME
In successive approximation NO converters, the conversion
time affects integral and differential linearity error. Conversion time effects on linearity and differential linearity error
for the ADC60 I are shown in the Typical Performance
Curves.

INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC CONNECTION
The basic connection for the AOC601 'is shown in Figure 2.
It is shown connected for ±5V bipolar input operation. Refer
to Table I for other connections.

INTERFACING
Because the ADC601 is a high-speed converter, it must be
driven from an amplifier source that has low impedance at
high frequency. The SHCS03, SHC804, and SHC5320 are
specifically designed to give accurate, stable results. At ihe
ADC601 output, the digital lines should be buffered by a
latch such as the 74LS574. These three-state drivers can then
connect directly to the data bus.

Each pair of these pins must be connected together externally. The connection between the digital supply pins and the
connection between the digital common pins must be as short
as possible. The analog and digital commons are not connected together internally in the ADC60l.

GROUND LOOPS
Figure 4 illustrates the interaction that occurs between the
analog and digital grounds when an ADC is connected into
a test circuit. This interaction is created by ground loops. The
circuit shows how ground loops are created when the AOC
tester combines digital and analog portions of the circuit
together. In this case, the loop is between the analog test
signal generator and the digital circuitry that detects the AOC
code. Here the digital ground connection between the AOC
and the tester is in parallel with the analog grounds. Some of
the digital current is diverted into the analog signal return,
which creates a code-dependent error signal due to the resistance in the analog signal return. This error distorts the
linearity measurement and induces hysteresis. It can be
substantially reduced if the analog and digital ground effects
are isolated from each other in the ADC tester. The best
method is to use a low resistance, low inductance ground
plane.

POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
Each power supply pin should be bypassed with a IjlF or
150jlF tantalum capacitor as shown in Figure 2. These capacitors should be located close to the ADC. Ceramic O.OljlF
bypass capacitors have been provided internally for more effective bypassing and need not be added externally.

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol. 33b

E
o

A special analog ground called "ground sense" (shown in
Figure 3) has been provided to eliminate the voltage drop
that' would otherwise be in the ground return of the internal
R-2R ladder. Measuring the input signal with respect to the
sense terminal (pin 27) makes the measurement independent
of the connection impedance between the sense terminal and
the analog common, pin 28. This sense pin must be connected to analog common as close to the input signal source
as possible or connected to the ground plane. Low impedance
analog and digital common returns are essential for low noise
performance. To minimize coupling between analog and
digital circuits on a layout, special attention should be taken
to ensure that the clock noise on the +5V supply line does not
couple into the analog inputs.

LAYOUT PRECAUTIONS

The ADC601 has two pins for analog common, two pins for
digital common, and two pins for each power supply input.

~

GROUND SENSE

The ADC601 is a high-speed anaIog-to-digital converter that
requires more attention to circuit board layout than general
purpose, lower speed NO converterS.

The wideband AOC601 comparator input (pin 26) is very
sensitive to noise. Any connection to this point should be as
short as possible and shielded by analog common or±15VDC
supply patterns. The clock output (pin 17) is sensitive to stray
capacitance, and capacitance on this pin could alter the clock
wave shape.

IIII

Connecting all commons to a ground plane close to the
ADC601 is the best method to minimize noise and dissipate
heat as shown in Figure 3.

ADDITIONAL DECOUPLING
A lOOpF capacitor may be placed on Clock Rate Adjust (pin
19) to ground in order to reduce noise on the clock. Up to
30pF may be placed on Comparator In (pin 26) without
degrading conversion accuracy at Nyquist frequencies.

with a 50% duty cycle, the 74LSI23 one-shot provides a short pulse for the convert command (pin IS) on the ADC801. The actual one-shotUme chosen, by
saWng the R-C on the one-shot, should be just long enough to allow for adequate track-la-hold selliing time. For best I.L. perfonnance, It Is recommended that
the one-shot time be less than 400ns, but at least 50ns.

POWER SUPPLY SENSITIVITY

INPUT IMPEDANCE

Changes in the DC power supply voltages will affect accuracy. Normally. regulated 'power supplies with 1% or less
ripple are reconunended for use with this ADC. Power
supply decoupling. shown in Figure 2. helps to keep ripple
low. Switching power supplies should be used with caution.
EMI/RFI filters such as BNX()()2 made by Murata/Erie
Company. Canada give good results with switching supplies.

If external gain adjust is not used, the source impedance
driving the ADC601 should be low (such as the output of an
op amp) to avoid gain errors due to the relatively low input
impedance of the ADC601.

INPUT RANGE SCAUNG
The analog input can be scaled to an appropriate input signal
range by proper pin connections to the NO converter.

If the source impedance is not low, a buffer amplifier can be
added between the input signal and the ADC601 inputs.

BIPOLAR OFFSET CURRENT
The bipolar offset current provided in the ADC601 on pin 29

is for use only in bipolar operation where pins 26 and 29 are
connected together. Pin 29 should be grounded for unipolar
operation. To prevent noise interference, this output should
not be used for any other purpose; make no other connection
to pin 29.

OUTPUT DRIVE
All ADC60l data outputs will drive two standard TTL loads
or 10 low-power Schottky TTL loads. If long digital lines
must be driven, external logic buffers are required. The clock
output is sensitive to capacitive loading and should be
buffered if high capacitive loads are being driven.

PARALLEL AND SERIAL OUTPUT
Parallel and serial output may be used simultaneously,
however proper buffering is essential. This will avoid excessive loading which can interfere with proper operation.

POWER DISSIPATION
The ADC601 dissipates approximately 1.3W. The package
has a junction-to-case thennal resistance (Blc) of 25°C/W
and a case-to-ambient thennal resistance (eCA) of 22°C/W in
a nonnal convection environment. For operation above
+85°C a heat sink is recommended. This should contact the
bottom of the ADC60 I for best results. See electrical
specification table notes.

OPTIONAL EXTERNAL GAIN
AND OFFSET ADJUSTMENTS
Gain and offset errors may be trimmed to zero using external
trim potentiometers as shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7. For
sufficient adjustment range, a series resistor must be connected to the analog input pin as specified in Table I.
Multiturn potentiometers with 100ppmfC temperature coefficient are recommended for minimum drift. All fixed resistors should be ±1% metal film. If the Offset adjust is not
used, pin 26 should be left open except for bipolar operation
when it is connected to pin 29. If Gain adjust is not used, the
unused input (pin 24 or 25) ,must be grounded to meet
specified ,gain accuracy.

For bipolar offset, connect the offset potentiometer and resistors as shown in Figure 5. Sweep the input through zero and
adjust the offset potentiometer until the transition from 0 III
1111 III to 1000 0000 0000 occurs at -II2LSB.
For gain, connect the gain potentiometer as shown in Figure
6. Sweep the input through the end point transition voltage,
which should cause an output transition from 000 ... 000 ... to
000 ... 001. Adjust the gain potentiometer until this transition
occurs at the correct end point transition voltage as given in
Table II.

OPTIONAL CLOCK RATE CONTROL
The clock is factory-set for a conversion time between BOOns
and 900ns. By use of the optional clock rate control shown
in Figure 7, the 12-bit conversion time can be typically
adjusted down to 700ns. It can also be used, if desired, to get
slightly higher speed or to assure maximum conversion time
at elevated temperature. If the clock rate control is not used,
Pin 19 should be left open or bypassed with lOOpF capacitor.
Conversion time versus clock rate control voltage is shown
in the Typical Perfonnance Curves.
More positive voltage on clock rate control increases speed
of conversion. Voltage of less than I V may cause the clock
to stop.

1. When power is first applied. the status of the ADC601
will be undetermined. A convert command must be applied to initialize the ADC601.

EXTERNAL SHORT CYCLE

The ADC601 may be short-cycled for fewer bits of resolution at faster conversion speeds. The short cycle circuit
(Figure 8) works by having the 74LS 165 shift register count
the clock pulses out of the ADC which correspond to the
ADC bit becoming valid. The shift register will output a
negative going pulse when the progmmmed 74LS165 input
is shifted to the serial output Q-not. The negative pulse then
resets the R-S flip/flop to a low and brings convert comand
low. thus stopping the ADC conversion. At the time the ADC
stops converting. status goes low which initiates a pamllel
load to the shift register. thus progmmming it for the next
conversion. The R-S flip/flop made from the 74LSOO nand
gates and the other 2 nand gates act as gating for the reset
pulse from the shift register. For short-cycling from 9 to 11
bits, cascade two 74LS165s together.

2. The convert command must be low at least sOns prior to
the rising edge that starts a conversion.
3. The clock runs continuously when the initial convert
command goes high and whenever the convert command
is high thereafter. It does not run when convert command
is low.

The 74LSI65 shift register is progmmmed on inputs A-G to
short cycle the ADC60 I on a given bit. For the circuitshown,
input A will short cycle the ADC on bit 7. input B on bit 6.
etc to input G short cycling on bit 1. All shift register inputs
should be tied to GND except the input corresponding to the
desired short-cycle bit. which should be tied high. To disable
short cycling completely. tie all shift register inputs to
ground.

I

5. Parallel Output Data: The successive approximation register (SAR) is reset after the leading edge of the first clock
period in the conversion cycle. The MSB is set to logic
"0" and all other bits are set to logic "1". The bits are
determined in succession starting with the MSB, Bit I, as
shown in Figure 9. Each bit will be valid after its corresponding clock pulse.

~

6. Status goes high after the rising edge of the first clock
pulse and goes low after all 12 bits are valid.

TIMING CONSIDERATIONS

7. Bit 12 will become valid before status goes low; a new
conversion may be initiated anytime after the output data
has been read.
8. The converter may be restarted during a conversion. If a
convert command is held at zero for a minimum of sOns.
the SAR will be reset and a new conversion will start on
the next rising tmnsition regardless of the state of the converter prior to the convert commands being received.

The following are some important points to consider on the
ADC601 timing. The times given are typical unless otherwise noted. Nominal maximum and minimum times are also
given in Figure 9.

~

4. The clock is started by a rising tmosition of the convert
command.

In most applications the rising edge of the Convert
Command may be used to strobe pamllel data out of the
ADC601 directly. It is recommended that all outputs are
buffered if large capacitive loads are being driven.

The timing diagmm (Figure 9) shows the relationship between the convert command. clock and outputs. The digital
output word uses positive logic for bipolar operation and
complementary logic for unipolar opemtion.

DIGITAL CODES
Parallel Data
Two binary codes are available on the ADC601 parallel
output; straight binary (logic "0" true) for unipolar input
signal ranges and bipolar offset binary (logic "1" true) for
bipolar input signal ranges. Binary two's complement may
be obtained for bipolar input ranges by inverting the MSB.
It should be noted that for unipolar input ranges -IOV is full
scale.

Serial Data (NRZ)
ADC60I serial data operation is· guaranteed to match the
parallel data. If an optoisolator is used to eliminate ground
.connections, buffer the output with an appropriate TTL line
driver. It is recommended that all outputs be buffered if large
capacitive loads are being driven.

TESTING OF THE ADC601
Careful test fixture design is required to accurately test the
ADC601. Proper grounding. correct routing of analog and
digital signals and power supply bypassing are crucial in
achieving successful results. High-frequency layout techniques and copper ground planes are recommended.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER TEST TECHNIQUE
A very effective way of detennining the DC perfonnance of
an ADC is by using the "servo loop method." A block
diagram of this technique is shown in Figure 13. This measurement system automatically locates the analog voltage that
causes the digital output to alternate between the desired
code and the adjacent code. A computer is programmed to
place the desired code on the I/O bus which is one input to
the digital comparator. The other input to this comparator is
the digital output of the ADC. Depending upon the results of
this comparison. the integrator is directed to change its
output until an equilibrium state is achieved. in where the
comparator and the ADC digital wunl~ are equal. Once in
equilibrium. the DVM measures the analog input to the ADC
and transmits the infonnation to the computer via an IEEE488 bus. The test program checks all the desired code combinations. verifying the perfonnance of the ADC. Test time
will range from 10 seconds to several minutes depending on
the speed of the test program, sellling time of the DVM. and
number of codes to be checked.

A typical test setup for performing high-speed FFf testing of
analog-to-digital converters is shown in Figure 14. Highly
accurate phase-locked signal sources allow high resolution
FFf measurements to be made without using window functions. By choosing appropriate signal frequences and sample
rates. an integral number of signal frequency periods can be
sampled. As no spectral leakage results, a "rectangular"
window (no window function) can be used. This was used to
generate the typical FFT perfonnance curves shown in the
Typical Perfonnance Curves.
If generators cannot be phase-locked and set to extreme
accuracy, a very low side-lobe window must be applied to
the digital data before executing an FFf. A commonly used
window such as the Hanning window is not appropriate for
testing high perfonnance converters; a minimum four-sample
Blackman-Harris window is strongly recommended.(I) To
assure that the majority of codes are exercised in the
ADC601 (12 bits). a 4096-point FFf is taken. If the data
storage RAM is limited. a smaller FFT may be taken if a
sufficient number of samples are averaged (ie. a IO-sample
average of 512-point FFfs).

IMD two-tone testing shown in Figure 15 is referenced(3) to
the larger of the test signals fl or f2" Five "bins" either side
of peak are used for calculation of fundamental and harmonic power. The "0" frequency bin (DC) is not included
in these calculations as it is of little importance in dynamic
signal processing applications.

MAJOR POINTS TO CONSIDER
Attention to test set up details can prevent errors that contribute to poor test results, Important points to remember when
testing high performance converters are:

voltage will not overrange the ADC and "hard limit" on
signal peaks. Overrange peaks will, however, just result
in a constant full-scale digital output.

1. The ADC analog input must not be overdriven. Using a
signal amplitude slightly lower than FSR will allow a
small amount of "headroom" so that noise or DC offset

2. Two-tone tests can produce signal envelopes that exceed
FSR. Set each test signal to slightly less than -6dB to
prevent "hard limiting" on peaks.

9.2-96

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol. 33b

Or, Call Customer Service at 1-800-548-6132 (USA Only)
3. Low-pass filtering (or bandpass filtering) of test signal
generaton; is absolutely necessary for THD and IMD
tests. An easily buill LC low-pass filter (Figure 16) will
eliminate harmonics from the test signal generator.

Figures 17 and 18, have bandwidths beyond those required for the ADC601; therefore, they have even beller
performance at SookHz. These combinen; are always

formance (beller than -ISSdBc/Hz) to achieve accurate
SNR measurements. Good generaton; together with fifthorder elliptical bandpass filten; are recommended for
SNR tests. Narrow bandwidth crystal filten; can also be
used to filter generator broadband noise but they should
be carefully tested for operation at high levels.
S. The analog input of the ADC601 should be driven by a
low output impedance SIH amplifier such as a SHCS04.
Short leads are necessary to prevent digital noise pickup.
6. A low-noise (jitter) clock signal (convert command) generator is required for good ADC dynamic performance.
A poor generator can seriously impair good SNR performance. Short leads are necessary to preserve fast TTL
rise times.
7. Two-tone testing will require isolation between test signal generators to prevent IMD generation in the test generator output circuits. An active summing amplifier
using an OPA600 is shown in Figure 18. This circuit will
provide excellent performance from DC to SMHz with
hannonic and intermodulation distortion products typically better than -7OdBc. A passive (hybrid transformer)
signal combiner can also be used (Figure 17) over a range
of about 0.1 MHz to 30MHz. This combiner's port-toport isolation will be =4SdB between signal generaton;
and its input-output insertion loss will be ..(jdB. Distortion will be better than -8SdBc for the powdered-iron
core specified. Avoid ferrites. The circuits shown in

9. Digital data may be latched into an external TTL 12-bit
register by the status falling edge before the next convert
command level. Latches should be mounted on PC
boards in very close proximity to the ADC601. Avoid
long leads.
10. Do not overload the data output logic. These outputs are
designed to drive two TTL loads.

11. A well-designed, clean PC board layout will assure
proper operation and clean spectral response. Proper
grounding and bypassing, short lead lengths and separation of analog and digital signals and ground returns are
particularly important for high frequency circuits. Multilayer PC boards are recommended for best performance,
but a two-sided PC board with large, heavy (20z-foil)
ground planes can give excellent results, if carefully
designed.

Internal timing circuits (ECL logic is used internally) supply
all the critical timing signals necessary for proper operation
of the ADC603. Some noncritical timing signals are also
generated in the digital error correction circuitry. Timing
signals are laser-trimmed for both pulse width and delay.
EeL logic is used for its speed, low noise characteristics and
timing delay stability over a wide range of temperatures and
power supply voltages. Basic timing is derived from the
output of a three-stage shift register driven by a synchronized
20MHz oscillator.
The convert command pulse is differentiated to allow triggering by pulses from as narrow as IOns to as wide as 80%
duty cycle.
The ADC603 timing technique generates a variable width
StH gate pulse which is determined by the conversion command pulse period minus a fixed 67ns AOC conversion time.
AOC603 conversion rates are therefore possible somewhat
above the 10MHz specification, but StH acquisition time is
sacrificed and accuracy is rapidly degraded. Converters with
guaranteed operation at 10.24MHz sample rate are available
on special order.
The output of the MSB and LSB encoders are read into
separate 7 -bit latches. The latched MSB. data, along with the
latched LSB data, is then read into a 14-bit latch after the
leading edge of the LSB strobe and before being applied to
the adder, where the actual error correction takes place.
These latches eliminate any critical timing problems that
could result when the converter is operated at the maximum
conversion rate.
The function of the digital error correction circuitry is to
assemble the 7-bit words from the two flash encoders into a
12-bit output word. A data valid (OV) pulseis also generated
which is used to indicate when output data can be latched into
an external register. This OV pulse is delayed 6ns after the
output data has settled to allow sufficient set-up time for an
external TTL data latch. A high-speed latch such as a 74F174
is recommended.
The 14-bit register output is then sent to a 12-bit adder where
the final data output word is created. The MSB data forms the

most significant seven bits of a 12-bit word, with the last five
bits being assigned zeros. In a similar fashion, the LSB data
from the least significant bits forms the other input to the
adder, with the first five bits being assigned zeros. As two 12bit words are being added, the output of the adder could
exceed 12 bits in range; however, the final data output is only
a 12-bit word, so a means of detecting an overrange is
included to prevent reading erroneous data. The converter
data output is forced to all ones for a full-scale input or
overrange. The data output does not "roll-over" if the converter input exceeds its specified full-scale range of ±1.25V.

DISCUSSION OF
PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE TESTING
The AOC603 is a very high performance converter and
careful attention to test techniques is necessary to achieve

accurate results. Spectral analysis by application of a fast
Fourier transform (FFT) to the ADC digital output will
provide data on all important dynamic performance parameters: total harmonic distortion (THO), signal-te-noise ratio
(SNR) or the more severe signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SINAO), and interrnodulation distortion (IMO).
A typical test setup for performing high-speed FFT testing of
anaIog-to-digitai converters is shown in Figure 2. Highly
accurate phase-locked signal sources allow high resolution
FFT measurements to be made without using window fum:tions. By choosing appropriate signal frequencies and sample
rates, an integral number of signal frequency periods can be
sampled. As no spectral leakage results, a "rectangular"
window (no window function) can be used. This was used to
generate the typical FFT perfoimance curves shown on page 5.

If generators cannot be phase-locked and set to extreme
accuracy, a very low side-lobe window must be applied to the
digital data before executing an FFT. A commonly used
window such as the Hanning window is not appropriate for
testing high performance converters; a minimum four-sample
Blackman-Harris window is strongly recommended.(1) To

1. The ADC analog input must not be overdrlven. Using a
signal amplitude slightly lower than FSR will a1\ow a
small amount of "headroom" so that noise or DC offset
voltage will not overrange the ADC and "hard limit" on
signal peaks.

assure that the majority of codes are exercised in the ADC603
(12 bits). a 4096-point FFT is taken. If the data storage RAM
is limited. a smaller FFT may be taken if a sufficient number
of samples are averaged (i.e., a IO-sample average of 512point FFTs).

2. Two-tone tests can produce signal envelopes that exceed
FSR. Set each test signal to slightly less than -6dB to
prevent "hard limiting" on peaks.
3. Low-pass filtering (or bandpass filtering) of test signal
generators is absolutely necessary for THD and IMD
tests. An easily built LC low-pass filter (Figure 4) will
eliminate harmonics from the test signal generator.

SNR tests. Narrow-bandwidth crystal filters can also be
used to filter generator broadband noise, but they should
be carefully tested for operation at high levels.
5. The analog input of the ADC603 should be terminated
directly at the input pin sockets with the correct filter
terminating impedance (5on or 750), or it should bC
driven by a low output impedance buffer such as an
OPA675/676, OPA620/621, or OPA600. Short leads are
necessary to prevent digital noise pickup.
6. A low-noise Gitter) clock signal (convert command) generator is required for good ADC dynamic performance. A
poor generator can seriously impair good SNR performance. Short leads are necessary to preserve fast TIL rise
times.
7. Two-tone testing will require isolation between test signal
generators to prevent IMD generation in the test generator
output circuits. An active summing amplifier using an
OPA600 is shown in Figure 5. This circuit will provide
excellent performance from DC to 5MHz with harmonic
and intermodulation distortion products typically better
than -70dBC. A passive (hybrid transformer) signal combiner can also be used (Figure 6) over a range of about
O.IMHz to 30MHz. This combiner's port-to-port isolation
will be =45dB between signal generators and its inputoutput insertion loss will be =6dB. Distortion will be
better than -85dBC for the powdered-iron core specified.
Avoid ferrites.
8. A very low side-lobe window must be used for FFr
calculations if generators cannot be phase-locked and set
to exact frequencies. A minimum four-sample BlackmanHarris window function is recommended.(I)
9. Digital data must be latched into an external TIL 12-bit
register by the Data Valid output pulse or by using the
convert command pulse (Figures II, 12, 13, and 14).
Latches should be mounted on PC boards in very close
proximity to the ADC603. Avoid long leads.
10. Do not overload the data output logic. These outputs are
designed to drive 2 TIL loads. Do not connect ADC603

Histogram testing is used to test differential nonlinearity of
the ADC603. This system's block diagram (the same for FFT
testing and waveform digitizing) is shown in Figure 2 and
histogram test results for a typical converter are shown in
Figure 16. Note that low-frequency differential nonlinearity
is I/2LSB and it shows virtually no degradation near the
Nyquist limit of 5MHz; there are no missing codes present
and the peak nonlinearity does not exceed lLSB. Histogram
testing is a useful performance indicator as the width of all
codes can be determined.

In this method a test signal is digitized by the ADC603 and
the output digital data is latched into an extemallatch by the
converter Data Valid output pulse driving a divide-by-N
counter. The buffered ECL{fTL level translator latch drives
a 12-bit video-speed DAC which reconstructs the digital
signal back into an analog replica of the ADC603 input. This
analog signal, including distortion products and noise resulting from digitization, can then be viewed on an ordinary
analog RF spectrum analyzer.
It is important to realize that the distortion and noise measured by this technique include not only that from the
ADC603, but also from the entire analog-to-analog test
system. Nonlinearity of the reconstruction circuit must be
very low to measure a high performance ADC, and this
places severe requirements on the ADC, deglitcher, and
buffer amplifiers.
Using a high-speed video DAC63 in the analog reconstruction circuit allows excellent test circuit linearity to be achieved.
Clocking the DAC (demodulating) at felN allows a longer
DAC settling time and keeps linearity high in the digital-toanalog portion of the test circuit. Spectrum analyzer dynamic range can be a limiting factor in this method. To
increase dynamic range, a sharp notch filter can be used to
attenuate the high-level fundamental frequency. Attenuating

the high-level fundamental signal allows the analog spectrum analyzer to be used on a more sensitive range without
genemting distortion products within its front end.
Note that even though the signal is demodulated at a frequency of sample rateIN. the distortion products still maintain a correct frequency relationship to the fundamental.
While this analog technique can give good performance. it
cannot exclude some distortion products unavoidably generated within the analog reconstruction portion of the test
system. For this reason. the digital FFT technique is capable
of more accumte high-speed analog/digital converter dynamic performance measurements and is the preferred method
of testing high-performance AID converters.

TIMING

The ADC603 genemtes all necessary timing signals internally. There are two methods for reading output data, offering three selectable levels of data pipeline delay as described
below.
Convert Command Timing Option (pin 29 :: HI)
With this option. the Convert Command signal is used both
for initiating a new conversion and for reading valid data
from a previous conversion. This method is most useful in
synchronous systems where data samples are taken continuously.

See Figure 13 for timing relationships.

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol. 33b

Or, Call Customer Service at 1-800-548-6132 (USA Only)
Pin 28 is used to control the amount of pipeline delay. If pin
28 is held LO, then output data "N - 2" will be valid on the
rising edge of Convert Command "N:' If pin 28 is held HI,
then output data "N - 3" will be valid on the rising edge of
Convert Command "N:' These timing relationships are valid
at any conversion rate up to IOMHz. At rates approaching
IOMHz, however, the data setup time before the rising
Convert Command edge may become as short as 6ns. Therefore, the use of high-speed TIL latches such as the 74F174
hex flip-flop is recommended to capture the data. If slower
latches must be used, then the setup time can effectively be
improved by adding several nanoseconds of delay between
the Convert Command and the latch clock signal.

Data Valid Timing Option (pin 29

=LO)

With this option, data from conversion "N" becomes valid
after a fixed delay from the rising edge of Convert Command
"N:' The delay is approximately 135ns, at which time the
Data Valid strobe signal will rise. This signal may be connected directly to the clock input of the user's data latch.
See Figure 18 for timing relationships. Pin 28 must be left HI
at all times when using the Data Valid timing option.
The advantages of this method are that no subsequent conversions are required in order to read the data, and the data
is available as soon as possible after the start of conversion.
Therefore, the Data Valid option is most useful in systems
where the ADC may be operated asynchronously, or where
the very first data latch output after power-up must represent
a valid conversion. Note that because the delay is fixed at
approximately 135ns independent of conversion rate, the
Data Valid pulse will overlap into the next conversion at rates.

any rate up to 10MHz.

OFFSET AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The ADC603 is carefully laser-trimmed to achieve its rated
accuracy without external adjustments. If desired, both gain
error and input offset voltage error may be trimmed to zero
with external potentiometers (Figure 23). Trim range is
typically 2%; large offsets and gain changes should be made
elsewhere in the system. Using an input buffer amplifier
allows a convenient point for injecting large offset voltages
and making wide gain adjustments.
If offset and gain trim is not used, pins 36 and 37 should be
left unconnected.

THERMAL REQUIREMENTS
The ADC603 is tested and specified over a temperature
range of O°C to +70°C (1, K grade) and -55°C to +125°C (R,
S grade). The converters are tested in a forced-air environment with a 10 SCFM air flow. With a small heat sink
(Figure 24) the ADC603 can be operated in a normal convection ambient-air environment if submodule case temperature
does not exceed the upper limit of its specification.(l)
High junction temperature can be avoided by using forcedair cooling, but it is not required at moderate ambient

INPUT VOLTAGE

Output logic inversion can be accomplished by programming
pin 27. Binary Two's Complement or Inverted Binary Two's
Complement output data formats are available (Table II).
The ADC603 output logic is TIL compatible. The tri-state
output is controlled by ENABLE pin 25. For normal operation, pin 25 will be tied LO. A logic HI on pin 25 will switch
the ouput data register to a high-impedance state (Figure 20).
Output OFF leakage current IOZL and IDZII will be less than
50JIA over the converter's specified operating temperature
range. Tri -state output should be isolated from noisy digital
bus lines, since the noise can couple back through the OFF
data register and create noise in the ADC.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING
The inherent reliability of a semiconductor device is controlled by the design, materials, and fabrication of the device
~it cannot be improved by testing. However, environmental
screening can eliminate the majority of those units which
would fail early in their lifetimes (infant mottality) through
the application of carefully selected accelerated stress levels.
Burr-Brown offers environmentally screened versions of our
standard military temperature range products, designed to
provide enhanced reliability at moderate cost. The screening
illustrated in Table III is performed to selected methods of
MIL-STD-883. Reference to these methods provides a
convenient way of communicating the screening levels and

FIGURE 1. ADC604 Block Diagram-A Two-Step Subranging Architecture.
A "remainder" or coarse conversion-error voltage is generated by resistively subtracting the DAC output from the output of the samplelhold amplifier. Before the second (LSB)
conversion, the ··remainder" is amplified by a wide band
fast-settling two-input amplifier with a gain of 32VN. To
prevent overload on large amplitude transients, the active
input is switched off to blank the amplifier input from the
beginning of the StH acquisition time to the end of the MSB
encoder update time.
Internal timing circuits (ECL logic is used internally) supply all the critical timing signals necessary for proper operation of the ADC604. Some noncritical timing signals are
also generated in the digital error correction circuitry. Timing
signals are laser-trimmed for both pulse width and delay.
ECL logic is used for its speed, low noise characteristics and
timing delay stability over a wide range of temperatures
and power supply voltages. Basic timing is derived from the
output of a three-stage shift register driven by a synchronized 20MHz oscillator.
The convert command pulse is differentiated to allow triggering by pulses from as narrow as IOns to as wide as 80%
duty cycle.
The ADC604 liming technique generates a variable width
StH gate pulse which is determined by the conversion command pulse period minus a fixed 135ns ADC conversion
time. ADC604 conversion rates are therefore possible somewhat above the 5MHz specification but S/H acquisition
time is sacrificed and accuracy is rapidly degraded. Con-

verters with guaranteed operation at 5.12MHz sample rate
are available on special order.
The output of the MSB and LSB encoders are read into
separate 7-bitlatches. The latched MSB data, along with the
latched LSB data, is then read into a 14-bitlatch after the
leading edge of the LSB strobe and before being applied to
the adder, where the actual error correction takes place.
These latches eliminate any critical timing problems that
could result when the converter is operated at the maximum
conversion rate.
The function of the digital error correction circuitry is to
assemble the 7-bit words from the two flash encoders into a
12-bit output word. A data valid (DV) pulse is also generated to indicate when output data can be latched into an
external register. This DV pulse is delayed 6ns after the
output data has settled to allow sufficient set-up time for an
external TTL data latch. A high-speed latch such as a
74FI74 is recommended.
The 14-bit register output is then senttoa 12-bit adder where
the fmal data output word is created. The MSB data forms
the most significant seven bits of a I2-bit word, with the last
five bits being assigned zeros. In a similar fashion, the LSB
data from the least significant bits form the other input to the
adder with the first five bits being assigned zeros. As two 12bit words are being added, the output of the adder could·
exceed 12 bits in range; however, the final data output is
only a 12-bit word, so a means of detecting an overrange is
included to prevent reading erroneous data. The converter

DISCUSSION OF
PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE TESTING

ADC604is a very high dynamic range converter and careful
attention to test techniques is necessary to achieve accurate
results. Spectral analysis by application of a, fast Fourier
transform (FFf) to the AOC digital output will provide data
on all important dynamic performance parameters: harmonic
distortion (HO). signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). spurious-free
dynamic range (SFDR). swept power response. and intermodulation distortion (IMD).
A typical test setup for performing high-s.,eed FFf testing
of analog-to-digital converters is shown in Figure 2. Highly
accurate phase. . locked !<;ignat so~!'Ces ano\\' high resclution
FFT measurements to be made without using window functions. By choosing appropriate signal frequencies and sample
rates. an integral number of signal frequency periods can be
sampled. As no spectral leakage results. a "rectangular"
window (no window function) can be used. This coherent
sampling method was used to generate the typical FFf performance curves shown on page 6. The ratio of the sampling
frequency to the signal frequency must be a non-rational
number.
If generators cannot be phase-locked and set to extreme
accuracy. a very low side-lobe window must be applied to
the digital data before executing an FFf. A commonly used
window such as the Hanning window is not appropriate for
testing high performance converters; a minimum four-sample
Blackman-Harris window is strongly recommended.(1) To
assure that the majority of codes are exercised in the ADC604
(12 bits). a 4096-point FFf is taken. If the data storage RAM
is limited. a smaller FFf may be taken if a sufficient number
of samples are averaged (ie. a 10-sample average of 512
point FFfs).

dynamic signal processing applications.
APPUCATION TIPS

Attention to test set-up details can prevent errors that contrib,ute to poor test results. Important points to remember when
testing high performance converters are:
I. The ADC analog input must not be overdriven. Using a
signal amplitude slightly lower than FSR will allow a
small amount of "headroom" so that noise or DC offset
voltage will not overrange the ADC and "hard limit" on
signal peaks.
Z. 'l\vo-tone tests can produce signal envelopes that exceed
FSR. Set each test signal to slightly less than -6dB to
prevent "hard limiting" on peaks.
3. Low-pass filtering (or bandpass filtering) of test signal
geoemto!S is absolutely nece:;:;a..l- for aCCiiiate tests. Au
easily built LC low-pass filter (Figure 4) will eliminate
harmonics from the test signal generator.
4. Test signal generators must have exceptional noise performance (better than -155dBc/Hz) to achieve accurate
SNR measurementsl4) Good generators together with fifthorder elliptical bandpass filters are recommended for SNR
tests. Narrow bandwidth crystal filters can also be used to
filter signal generator broadband noise, but they should be
carefully tested for low-distortion operation at high signal
levels.
5. The analog input of the AOC604 should be terminated
directly at the input pin sockets with the correct filter terminating impedance (SOn or 75n) or it should be driven
by a very low distortion buffer amplifier with low output
impedance, such as an OPA62 I or equivalent. Short leads
«I inch) are necessary to prevent digital noise pickup.
6. A low phase noise (jitter) clock signal (convert command)
generator is required for good ADC dynamic performance. A poor generator can seriously impair good SNR
performance. Short leads are necessary to preserve fast
TTL rise times.
7. Two-tone testing will require high isolation between test
signal generators to prevent IMD generation in the test
generator output circuits. A passive (hybrid transformer)
signal combiner can be used (Figure 5) over a range, of
about O.IMHz to 30MHz. This combiner's port-to-port

should be mounted on PC boards in very close proximity
to the ADC604. Avoid long leads.
10. Do not overload the data output logic. These outputs are
designed to drive two TIL loads but a lighter load will
minimize the amplitude of digital switching transients.
Do not connect ADC603 data output pins directly to a
noisy digital bus;,use external three-state logic for noise
immunity.
II. A well-designed. clean PC board layout will aSsure
proper operation and clean spectral response!5)(6) Proper
grounding and bypassing. short lead lengths and separation of analog and digital signals. and the use of ground
planes are particularly important for high frequency
circuits. Multilayer PC boards are recommended for best
performance. but a two-sided PC board with large. heavy
(20z-foil) ground planes can give acceptable results. if it
is carefully designed.
12. Prototyping "plug-boards" or wire-wrap boards will NOT
be satisfactory. There are no shortcuts.
13. Roatinginputscan minimize ground-loop noise. A simple
common-mode choke (balun) shown in Figure 6 and 7 or
a differential amplifier (Figure 8 and 9) can reduce
analog input noise.
14. Connect analog and digital ground pins of the ADC604
directly to the ground plane. In our experience. connecting these pins to a common ground plane gives the best
results. Analog and digital power supply commons should
be tied together at the ground plane. Adding power
supply and ground-return filteringO) is optional and may
improve noise reduction.

HISTOGRAM TESTING
Histograms are used to test differential nonlinearity of the
ADC604. This system's block diagram (the same for FFI'
testing and waveform digitizing) is shown in Figure 2 and
histogram test results for a typical converter are shown in the
Typical Performance Curves. Note that low-frequency differential nonlinearity is under 1I2LSB and it shows virtually
no degradation near the Nyquist limit of 2.SMHz; there are
no missing codes present and the peak nonlinearity does not
exceed 3/4LSB. Histogram testing is a useful performance
indicator as the width of all codes can be determined.

SWEPT·POWER FFT TESTING
ADC604 converters are comprehensively tested to assure
their conformance with Burr-Brown specifications. As this
converter is designed for spectral-analysis applications. all
important dynamic parameters are FFI' tested. including a

9.2-128

swept-power response measurement on KH-grade devices.
AID converter spurious signal levels typically show a variation with input signal power. To insure that these spurs
remain at an acceptable level over the whole range of input
signal amplitudes. a point-by-point measurement of worstcase spurious signal levels (harmonic or non-harmonic) is
made as the input signal level is stepped by IdB from an
over-driven amplitude down to the ADC noise level. To
minimize measurement error due to noise. eight FFl's are
averaged to generate each data point.
Plotting these data points results in the curve labeled "Spurious-Free Dynamic Range vs Input Power Level" shown in
the '!ypical Performance Curves on page 5. Each ADC604KH
is supplied with FFI' plots and a swept-power test plot. Units
with guaranteed swept-power performance are available on
special order.

TIMING
The ADC604 generates all necessary timing signals internally. There :...--= ,-.,vo tncL'icds for reading ouipui data, olier..
ing three selectable levels of data pipeline delay as described
below:
(1) Convert Command timing option (pin 29 = HIGH)With this option. the Convert Command signal is used both
for initiating a new conversion and for reading valid data
from a previous conversion. This method is most useful in
synchronous systems where data samples are taken continuously.
See Figure 13 for timing relationships.
Pin 28 is used to control the amount of pipeline delay. If pin
28 is held LOW. then output data "N - 2" will be valid on
the rising edge of Convert Command "N'~ If pin 28 is held
HIGH. then ,output data "N - 3" will be valid on the rising
edge of Convert Command "N". These timing relationships
are valid at any conversion rate up to SMHz. At a conversion
rate ofSMHz. the data setup time before the rising Convert
Command edge is about sOns.
'
(2) Data Valid timing option (pin 29 = LOW)- With this
option. data from conversion "N" becomes valid after a
fixed delay from the rising edge of COnvert Command "N".
The delay is approximately 165ns. At about t = 185ns. the
Data Valid strobe signal will rise. This strobe signal may be
connected directly to the clock input of the external data
latches. providing a data setup time of approximately 2Ons.
See Figure 14 for timing relationships. Pin 28 must be left
HIGH at all times when using the Data Valid timing option.

The advantages of this method are: (a) no subsequent con~
versions are required in order to read the data (ie, single-shot
conversion capability). and (b) the data is available as soon
as possible after the start of conversion. Therefore, the Data
Valid option is most useful in systems where the ADC may
be operated asynchronously. or where the very first data
latch output after power-up must represent a valid conversion.

DATA OUTPUT
Output logic inversion can be accomplished by programming pin 27. Binary Two's Complement or Inverted Binary

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol. 33b

Or, Call Customer Service at 1-800-548-6132 (USA Only)
1\vo's Complement output data format are available (Table

11).
The ADC604 output logic is TIL compatible. The tri-state
output is controlled by ENABLE pin 25. For normal operation, pin 25 will be tied LO. A logic HI on pin 25 will switch
the ouput data register to a high-impedance state (Figure (6).
Output OFF leakage current I07.L and 107J1 will be less than
5~ over the converter's specified operating temperature
range. Tri-state outputs must not be connected directly to a
noisy digital bus, as this noise can be coupled into the
converter's analog input.

DIGITAL INPUTS
Logic inputs are TIL compatible. Open inputs will assume
a HI logic state; unused inputs may be allowed to float or they
may be tied to an appropriate TTL logic level.

OFFSET AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The ADC604 is carefully laser-trimmed to achieve its rated
accuracy without external adjustments. If desired, both gain
error and input offset voltage error may be trimmed over a
very small range with external potentiometers (Figure 17).
Trim range is typically only 0.1 %; larger offsets and gain
changes should be made elsewhere in the system. Using an
input buffer amplifier allows a convenient point for injecting
large offset voltages and making wide gain adjustments.

If offset and gain trim is not used. pins 36 and 37 should be
left unconnected.
THERMAL REQUIREMENTS
The ADC604 is tested and specified over a temperature
range of O"C to +70°C in a forced-air environment with 500
LFPM air flow. With a small heat sink (Figure 18). the
ADC604 can be operated in a normal convection ambient-air
environment if submodule case temperature does not exceed
the upper limit of its specification.(l)

High junction temperature can be avoided by using forcedair cooling, but it is not required at moderate ambient temperatures. Thermal resistance of the ADC604 package is: 81C
= 4.8°C/W measured to the underside of the case.

DESCRIPTION
The ADC701 is a very high speed 16-bit analog-todigital converter based on a three-step subranging architecture. Outstanding dynamic performance is achieved
with the SHC702 companion sample/hold amplifier.
Both devices use hybrid construction for applications
where reliability, small size, and low power consumption are especially important.

Excellent linearity and stability are assured through use
of a new ultra-precise monolithic D/A converter and a
low-drift reference circuit. Custom monolithic op amps
provide very high bandwidth and low noise in all
sections ofthe analog signal path. Logic is CMOS/TTL
compatible and is designed for maximum flexibility.

NOTES: (I) Adjustable to zero. Tested and guaranteed fora to +IOV and ±10V ranges only. (2) Peak-to-peak based on 99.9"10 of all codes. (3) FSR means fullscale range and depends on the Input range selected. (4) ADC conversion time is defined as the time that the Sample/Hold must remain In the Hold mode; i.e., the
duration of the SamplelHold command. This time must be added to the Sample/Hold acqusition time to obtain the total system throughput time. (5) Given for reference
only - this time overlaps with the ADC701 conversion time and does not affect system throughput rate.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADC701 uses a three-step subranging architecture,
meaning that the analog-to-digital conversion is performed
in three passes which constitute coarse, medium and fine approximations of the input signal. Refer to Figures I and 2 for
simplified block diagrams of the system.
Before the input signal is presented to the ADC, it must be
sampled with high linearity and low aperture error by the
sample/hold amplifier.
In the SHC702, the sampling switch is placed at the summing
junction (virtual ground) of a high speed FET amplifier
(Figure I). This arrangement maintains constant charge injection independent of the signal amplitude, which is critically important for good linearity performance. The sampling switch itself is a high speed DMOS FET whose gate is
driven from a fast-slewing control signal, thus minimizing
the time aperture between the fully closed (sample mode)
and the fully open (hold mode) states of the switch. The
signal voltage is held across the feedback capacitor, forcing
the op-amp to maintain a constant output voltage for the
duration of the AID conversion. Feedthrough from the input,
already low due to the MOSFET's low capacitance, is further
reduced by clamping the summing point to ground with
another FET.

The ADC70 I input voltage is converted to a current through
the input scaling resistors (Figure 2), and this current is
applied to the summing junction (virtual ground) of error
amplifier AI. The current output of the DAC (0 to 2rnA) is
also applied to the summing point. If bipolar operation is
selected, the 10V reference output is applied to input D,
creating a IrnA offset current which sums with the input
current.

At the beginning of each conversion, the DAC is reset to midscale so that its output current is exactly lmA. This ImA is
subtracted from the input signal current. The difference current flows through Rf and appears as an error voltage at the
output of AI'
During the first pass, the programmable gain amplifier
(POA) is set to unity gain, which matches the error voltage
range to the input range of the flash ADC. The error signal
is digitized to 7-bit resolution by the flash ADC, creating a
coarse approximation of the digital output value, which is
then applied to the DAC.
Since the DAC output is now approximately equal to the
input signal current, the remaining difference current flowing through Rf is small-ideally less than 1/128 of full scale,
which is due to the built-in quantizing uncertainty of the 7bit flash ADC. However, other sources of error (e.g., integral
and differential nonlinearity of the flash ADC, gain and
offset of the PGA, settling and noise errors throughout the
signal path) cause the possible error range to be significantly
greater. In fact, the ADC701 is designed to handle remainder
signals up to 1/32 of full scale, which is four times the "ideal"
value.
Therefore, the PGA is set during the second pass to a gain of
32, allowing the small remainder signal to match the full
range of the flash ADC. This is again digitized to 7-bit
resolution and added to the previous result to create the
"medium" approximation of the input signal. Because the
full-scale range of the flash represents 1/32 of the input
signal's full range, the 7-bit flash output is shifl:ed right by 5
bits before being added to the original 7-bit "coarse" result,
creating a 12-bit word. There is an overlap of two bits
because the two least significant bits of the first-pass result
correspond to the two most significant bits of the secondpass result. This overlap in the adder is called "digital error
correction"-the mechanism that allows nonideal remainders from the first pass to be corrected in the second pass.
The 12-bit approximation is applied once again to the DAC,
causing the remaining difference current to become yet
smaller. For the third pass, .the PGA's gain is increased by
another factor of 32, and the remainder is again digitized by
the flash ADC.
At this point in the conversion, all of the necessary data has
been latched and it is no longer necessary to hold the analog'
signals from the sample/hold or the DAC. From a systems
perspective, the conversion is now complete because the
sample/hold is released to begin acquiring the next input
sample and the DAC is reset to mid-scale for the next conversion. Meanwhile, the final result from the flash is added
to the previous 12-bit result. Again there is a two-bit overlap
to allow for error correction. The adder output is monitored
to prevent a digital "rollover" condition, so that the ADC
clips properly at the signal extremes. The upper sixteen bits
of the final adder result are stored in the ADC's output
register, ready to be presented in byte-sequential form at the
eight output data lines. The overrange or "clip" condition can
also be detected externally by monitoring pin 9. Refer to the
section on ADC701 Digital I/O for further detail.

9.2-144

INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TheADC701/SHC702 combination is designed to be easy to
use in a wide variety of applications, without sacrificing
flexibility of the analog and digital interface.
SHC702 INTERFACE
The connection diagram (Figure 3) shows the basic hookup.
At the SHC702 input, the user may opt to connect the builtin FET buffer amplifier. The buffer is most useful in multichannel applications where the signal bandwidth is less than
100kHz. In those applications, it serves to isolate the multiplexer output from the Ikn input impedance of the sample!
hold. For higher frequency applications and for any system
that does not require the very high impedance, the best results
(lowest noise and distortion) will be achieved by driving the
SHC702's analog input directly. If the buffer is not used, its
input should be grounded to avoid random noise pickup and
saturation of the buffer op-amp.

Only two connections are required between the SHC702 and
the ADC701: SHC702 analog output to ADC701 input(s)
and the .digital Hold Command from the ADC701 to the
SHC702. As always, it is best to avoid routing these analog
and digital lines along parallel traces. Although the placemeni of the SHC702 relative to the ADC is not extremely
critical, one good approach is to mount the SHC along one
end of the ADC package as shown in Figure 4. This
minimizes the length of the interconnections and keeps the
digital lines well away from sensitive analog signals.
ADC701 INPUT CONNECTIONS
The ADC input network has four separate terminals, allowing many different input ranges. These should be connected
as indicated in Table I. Most users will take advantage of the
ADC70l's built-in reference circuit, which has very low
noise and excellent temperature stability. To use the internal
reference, it is only necessary to connect pin 36 (Reference
Output) to pin 32 (Reference Input). To use an externailOV
reference (to cause the ADC gain to track a system reference,
for example), pin 36 is left unconnected and the external
reference is applied to pin 32. If required, the ADC701 will
typically accommodate a five to ten percent variation in the
IOV reference. External references should have very low
noise to avoid degrading the excellent signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) of the ADc701.

OFFSET, GAIN AND CONVERSION
SPEED ADJUSTMENTS (OPTIONAL)

Adjustment of the reference voltage is the most straightforward way to adjust the ADC gain. For the internal reference,
this is accomplished by connecting a 20ill potentiometer as
shown in Figure 3. This will provide a gain trim range of
about ±3%. It is also possible to use external series or parallel
resistance in the input network, but that is more cumbersome
and usually wiII degrade the gain stability over temperature
due to tempco (temperature coefficient) mismatches among
the resistors.
ADC offset may be adjusted by connecting a 500ill potentiometer to pins 21 and 22, with the wiper connected through
a series 30kQ resistor to ground as shown in Figure 3. This
wiII provide an offset trim range of approximately ±0.25%
FSR. For a larger trim range of offset or gain, it is recommended that trims be accomplished elsewhere in the system.
The Clock Adjust input (pin 18) is intended primarily for
small adjustments of the conversion time. However, this will
rarely be necessary because the ADC701 is guaranteed to
convert up to 512kHz over the specified temperature range
without external clock adjustment.
POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS

Experience with testing and applying the ADC701 shows
that it wiII perform well in most board layouts, provided that
appropriate care is taken with grounding and bypassing.
Power supplies may be shared between the ADC70l, SHC702
and other analog circuitry without difficulty. It is recommended that each power pin be locally bypassed to the
ground plane with a high quality tantalum capacitor of at
least IIJ.F. If at all possible, power should be derived from
well-regulated linear supplies-switching power supplies
will require much more effort for proper decoupling and are
not recommended for this or any high performance wideband analog system.
The +5V Digital supply pins, though not as sensitive to noise
as the +5V Analog pin, should nonetheless be kept as quiet
as possible. If the system digital supply is noisy, then it is
best to use the system +5V analog supply for all of the +5V
connections on the ADC70l and SHC702 rather than trying
to separate them. If only one +5V supply is available and it
is shared with other system logic, then extra bypassing and/
or supply filtering may be required.
The -5V supply will operate with any voltage between -4.75
and -6V. If -5V is not available from the system supplies,
then an industry-standard 7905 regulator may be used to
derive -5V from the -15V supply.
All ground pins on both the ADC701 and the SHC702
should be connected rlirectly to a common ground plane.
This is true for both analog and digital grounds. However, it
is also helpful to recognize where tile digital ground currents
flow in the. system,and to provide PC board return paths for

9.2-146

potentially troublesome digital currents in adrlition to the
ground plane connections. For example, the ADC701 output
data lines will sink current (statically and/or dynamically)
when in the low state. This current comes from the power
supply that runs the interface logic, and so must return to that
supply's ground. If the ground termination is placed such that
this digital current will flow away from the ADC70l, then
the existing ground plane will suffice to carry the current. On
the other hand, if the ground termination must be placed such
that the rligital current flows across the ADC or SHC layout,
then it would be advisable to break the analog ground plane
under the package (to stop the flow of current across the
package) and to provide a separate trace (several centimeters
wide) on another PC board layer to carry the digital return
current from pins II and 19 to the termination point. If the
ADC701 must interface into a fairly noisy digital environment, then another approach is to keep the first layer of
latches and/or buffers connected to the ADC701 power and
ground planes, so that the ADC itself is connected to "quiet"
circuits with short return paths. This transfers the interface
problem to the outputs of the latches, where it can be
managed with less impact on the analog components.
PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
The packages may be soldered directly into a PC board or
mounted in low-profile machined pin sockets with good
results. Use of tail (long lead length) sockets, adapters or
headers is not recommended unless a local ground plane and
bypass capacitors can be mounted directly under the packages.

In a room-temperature environment or inside an enclosure
with moderate airflow, the ADC701 and SHC702 normally
do not require heat-sinking. However, to keep the devices
running as cool as possible, it is helpful to install a thin heattransfer plate under the packages to conduct heat into the
ground plane. The plate may be made from metal (copper,
aluminum or steel) or from a special heat-conductive material such as Sil-Pad(l). The Sil-Pad material has the advantage
of being electrically insulating and somewhat pliable, so that
it wiII tend to distribute pressure evenly and conform to the
package--an advantage in systems where the board may be
flexed or subjected to vibration.
PC BOARD LAYOUT EXAMPLE
Figure 4 is an example of a printed circuit layout that
integrates the ADC701 and SHC702 into a four-layer PC
board. The layout shown includes jumper options to set the
ADC input range, and shows placement of the optional offset
and gain adjust potentiometers. Note that. the ground plane
layer is on the component (top) side, which shields the
components from digital signals on other layers and provides
the possibility of using a simple heat sink plate as described
above.

ADC701 DIGITAL 1/0

OPTIONS FOR STROBED OUTPUT

Refer to the timing diagram, Figure 5. The conversion
process is initiated by a rising edge on the Convert Command
input. This will immediately bring the sample/hold command output to a logic high state (Hold mode).
After the ADC701 conversion is completed (approxiinately
1.5~s after the convert command edge), the Sample/Hold
Command falls to a low state, enabling the sample/hold to
begin acquisition of the next input sample. However, the
ADC701 internal clock continues to run so that the output
data may be processed.
There are two methods of reading data from the ADC:
1. Strobed Output-This will usually be the easiest and
fastest method. The data are presented sequentially as
high and low bytes of the total16-bit word. The sequence
High-Low or Low-High is controlled by the state of the
High/Low Byte Select input. The first byte is valid on the
rising edge of the Data Strobe output; the second byte is
valid on the falling edge.
2. Polled output-With this method, data strobes will occur
as described above, but they are ignored by the user.
Instead, the user waits until the Data Strobe output falls,
and then manually selects high and low output data by
means of the High/Low Byte Select input. This polJing
procedure may be carried out during the subsequent ADC
conversion cycle, but two precautions must be observed:
First, the user should avoid switching the High/Low Byte
Select immediately before or after the next convert command. This will prevent digital switching noise from
coupling into the system at the instant of analog sampling.
Second, the poIling sequence must be completed before
the ADC begins to strobe out data from the subsequent
conversion.

There are several ways in practice to implement the logic
interface. Figure 3 shows the simplest configurations. In order
to convert the ADC701's byte-sequential data into 16-bit
parallel form, the minimum requirement is for one single octal
flip-flop, such as a 74HC574 or equivalent. This wilIlatch the
first byte on the rising edge of the ADC70l Data Strobe. Then
the second byte becomes valid, and all 16 bits may be strobed
to the outside system on the falling edge of the Data Strobe.
For better noise isolation of the ADC701 from the digital
system, or if full three-state capability is required for the 16
output lines, a second octal flip-flop can be added as shown in
the dashed lines of Figure 3. This will also require an inverter
to convert the falling Data Strobe edge into a rising clock edge
for the second flip-flop IC.
If it is desirable to have all 16 output lines change simultaneously (for example when driving a D/A converter), then a third
octal flip-flop (not shown in Figure 3) may be added to re-latch
the output ofthe first byte. By driving that device's clock also
from the inverted Data Strobe, fully synchronous switching of
the 16 output bits will be achieved.

USING THE CLIP DETECT OUTPUT
The ADC70l provides a built-in Clip Detect signal on pin 9
which indicates an ADC overrange or underrange condition.
The Clip Detect signal is only valid when the High Byte
becomes valid as shown in Figure 5. Therefore, the simplest
way to latch the Clip Detect signal is to provide an extra flipflop which is clocked on the same strobe edge as the High Byte
flip-flop. Such a setup is illustrated in Figure 3. The Clip
Detect signal remains at logic 0 under normal conditions, and
indicates a clip condition by rising to a logic 1.

The latched version of Clip Detect may be used to generate
an interrupt to the user's system computer, which would then
launch a sePlice routine to generate the appropriate alarms or
corrective action. Another possible application would be to
stretch the pulse using a monostable so that it would be easily
visible when driving an LED warning lamp.
In some systems, it may be desirable to provide separate
latched outputs for Underrange and Overrange. These conditions may be separately detected by using simple logic to
implement the boolean equations:
Underrange = Clip Detect AND Anybit
Overrange = Clip Detect AND Anybit
where "Anybit" is anyone of the data output bits.
The Underrange and Overrange signals would then be
latched into two separate flip-flops. A simple solution using
a single '74 dual flip-flop and a single '00 quad NAND
provides enough logic to implement the logic equations, with
a spare NAND gate left over to use for creating the inverted
Data Strobe signal.
USING THE ADC701 AT
MAXIMUM CONVERSION RATES
The ADC701 is guaranteed to accept Convert commands at
a rate of DC to 512kHz over the specified operating temperature range. At a conversion rate of 500kHz, the total
throughput time of 21lS allows for the 1.51lS ADC conversion
time plus 500ns for the digital output timing and sample/hold
acquisition time.
If the user tries to exceed the maximum conversion rate by a
large amount, the Convert Command of conversion N+ I will
occur before the Data Strobe has fallen from conversion N.
In such a situation, the ADC70 I will simply ignore every
other Convert command so the actual conversion rate will
become half of the Convert command rate. Otherwise, the
conversion will proceed normally. Note that the ADC timing
slows down at high temperatures, so the frequency at which
this occurs will vary with temperature-although it is still
guaranteed to be greater than 512kHz over the specified
temperature range.
Another consideration for operation at very high rates is that
the sample/hold acquisition time becomes shorter as the
conversion rate is increased. Users will note that the available acquisition time becomes less than 550ns at rates above
500kHz, which is less than the typical SHC702 acquisition
time for a 10V step to 150).1V accuracy. However, the signal
degradation is gradual as the acquisition time is shortenedeven at 512kHz, there is enough time to acquire a 5V step to
better than 500).1V. Also, most signal processing environments do not contain full-power signals at the Nyquist frequency, but rather show a rolloff of signal power at high
frequencies. If the ability to acquire extremely large input
changes at extremely high conversion rates is of paramount
importance, the user may elect to use a Burr-Brown model
SHC803 sample/hold instead-it is pin compatible with the
SHC702 and provides much faster acquisition time at the
expense of some extra noise and higher distortion at low
input frequencies.

TESTING THE ADC701/SHC702
The ADC701 and SHC702 together form a very high
performance converter system and careful attention to test
techniques is necessary to achieve accurate results. Spectral
analysis by application of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to
the ADC digital output is the best method of examining total
system performance. Attempts to evaluate the system by
analog reconstruction through a D/A converter will usually
prove unsatisfactory; assuming that the static and dynamic
distortions of the D/A can be brought below the required
level (-IIOdB), the performance will still be beyond the
range of presently available spectrum analyzers.
Even when the analysis is done using FFT techniques,
several key issues must be addressed. First, the parameters of
the FFT need to be adequate to perform the analysis and
extract meaningful data. Second, the proper selection of test
frequencies is critical for good results. Third, the limitations
of commercial signal generators must be considered. These
three points are addressed in later sections. Finally, the test
board layout must follow the recommendations discussed on
pages 8 through 10.

IMD is referred to the larger of the test signals f1 or f2-not
to the total signal power, which would result in a number
approximately 6dB "better:' The zero frequency bin (DC) is
not included in these calculations-it represents total offset
of the ADC, SHC and test equipment and is of little
importance in dynamic signal processing applications.
FFT Parameters
Accurate FFT analysis of l6-bit systems requires adequate
computing hardware and software. The FFT length (number
of points) should be relatively large-at least 4K and preferably 16K or larger. There are several reasons for this:
I. The converter itself has 64K codes. Ideally, the test would
guarantee that all codes are tested at least once. Practically

9.2-149

For Immediate Assistance, Contact Your Local Salesperson
speaking, however, that would require immensely long
FFfs (»64K points) or averaging of a large number of
smaller FFfs. By using an FFf length of 4K or greater
and proper selection of the test frequencies, a very good
statistical picture of the ADC performance will be obtained which shows the effect of any defects in the transfer
function.
2. The noise floor of the output spectrum is not low enough
if less than 4K points are taken. Shoner FFfs have fewer
bins to cover the output spectrum, so a larger fraction of
the total system noise appears in each bin. Although the
SNR of the ADC701/SCH702 system is in the range of
-93dB, the noise level of the available generators may
increase the total measured noise power to -80dB. Every
doubling of the FFT length will spread the noise power
among twice as many bins, resulting in a 3dB reduction of
the spectral noise floor. In order to resolve spurious
components that are at the level of -l1OdB, an average
noise floorofless than"'-113dB would be barely adequate.
This requires at least 2048 bins in the output halfspectrum, corresponding to a 4K-point FFf. Even at this
level, it will be difficult or impossible to separate higher
order harmonics in the ADC701 response from the average noise level, indicating that longer FFfs are desirable.
3. Following the guidelines for test frequency selection
which are outlined in the next section, it becomes clear
that longer FFfs allow a much wider choice of test
frequencies without concern for sophisticated data windowing or code coverage problems.
Besides the consideration of FFf length, it is imponant to
realize that the FFf calculations must be performed with
high-precision arithmetic. The use of 32-bit fixed or floating
point calculations will generally be inadequate because the
noise floor due to calculation errors alone will interfere with
the ADC performance data. Unfonunately, this consideration precludes the use of most DSP accelerator boards and
similar hardware. In order to preserve the full dynamic range
of the ADC output, it is best to use standard 64- or 80-bit
arithmetic. To avoid excessively long calculation times, the
FFf algorithm should be written in an efficiently compiled
language and make use of techniques 'such as trigonometric
look-up tables in software and dedicated floating-point
coprocessors in hardware. There are several commercial
software packages available from Burr-Brown and others
that meet these requirements.
SELECTION OF TEST FREQUENCIES
The FFf (and any similar nsp operation) treats the total
time-domain record length as one cycle of an infinitely long

9.2-150

periodic signal. Therefore, if the end of the sampled record
does not match up smoothly with'the beginliing, the output
spectrum will contain serious errors known as leakage or
truncation errot2'. This well-known problem is usually handled
by applying a windowing function to the time-domain
samples, suppressing the worst effects of the mismatch.
However, the most often used windows such as Hanning,
Hamming, raised cosine, etc., are completely inadequate for
16-bit ADC testing. More sophisticated functions such as the
four-sample Blackman-Harris window(3) will provide much
better results, although there still will be obvious spreading
of the spectral lines. '
The most successful approach is to eliminate the need for
windowing by properly selecting the test signal frequency (or
frequencies) in relatiQII to the ADC sampling frequency(4). If
the time sample contains exactly an integer number of cycles,
then there is no mismatch or truncation error. Another point
to consider is that the sampling frequency should not be an
exact integer mUltiple of the signal frequency, which would
tend to reduce the number of different ADC codes that are
tested and also tend to artificially concentrate quantization
error in the harmonics of the test signal.
Both of these criteria are met by choosing an FFf length
which is a power of two (the most standard and fastest to
compute) and choosing a test frequency which causes an
exact odd integer number of cycles to appear in the time
record. In software, this selection can be accomplished very
easily:

I. Determine the desired sampling frequency fs'
2. Determine the desired input signal frequency fAPPROX'
3. Determine the FFf length N, which should be a power of
2 (e.g., 4096 or 16384).
4. Divide fAPPROX by fs' multiply the quotient by N, and round
the result to the nearest odd integer. This is M, the number
of cycles in the time record.
5. Multiply M by fs and divide by N to obtain the exact input
signal frequency fACTUAL'
SIGNAL GENERATOR CONSIDERATIONS

To suppress leakage effects, the calculated ratio of fs to
fACTUAL must be precisely maintained during the test. This
requirement is met easily by the use of synthesized signal
generators whose reference oscillators can be locked together. Other possible approaches include external phase
locking of non-synthesized generators and direct digital synthesis techniques. If it is not possible to use phase-locked
sigDals, then a Blackman~Harris window may be used as
mentioned previously.

Another key issue is the purity of both the signal and
sampling frequency generators. The sampling clock's phase
noise (jitter) will act as another source of SNR degradation.
This is not serious as long as the jitter is random and the noise
sidebands contain no sharp peaks. The HP3325 synthesizer
is suitable for this purpose. The input signal generator will
require more attention because its distortion will usually be
greater than that of the ADC701/SHC702. Presently, the
lowest distortion synthesized generator is the Briiel & Kjrer
Model 1051 (or 1049). This is suitable for testing the system
in the audio range. The upper frequency limit of the B&K
synthesizer is 200kHz. Above 20kHz, the distortion becomes
a limiting factor, and low-pass filters must be inserted into
the signal path to reduce the harmonic and spurious conteD!.
As noted previously, the combined noise contributions ofthe
signal generator and sampling clock generator far exceed the

HP3325A
Frequency
Synthesizef

n

-.J L.J

SNR of the ADC70l/SHC702 itself. The SNR has been
measured separately by applying a highly filtered sinewave
to the input, resulting in typical SNR performance of -93dB.
However, the filters employed to achieve this low-noise test
stimulus are found to cause reactive loading of the signal
source which results in increased distortion. Therefore it is
best to separate the tests for SNR from those for THD and
IMD, unless a suitably pure and low-noise signal can be
generated.
Figures 6 and 7 show block diagrams of FFT test setups for
the ADC701 and SHC702, summarizing the placement of the
major components discussed above. The Typical Dynamic
Performance section shows typical results obtained from
testing the ADC701/SHC702 at a 500kHz conversion rate,
using 16K samples for the FFT analysis.

HISTOGRAM TESTING
The FFf provides an excellent measure of harmonic and
intermodulation distortion. Low-order spurious products are
primarily caused by integral nonlinearity of the SHC and
ADC. The influence of differential linearity errors is harder
to distinguish in a spectral plot-it may show up as highorder harmonics or as very minor variations in the overall appearance of the noise floor.

converter. In practice 10 to 20 million samples will demonstrate good results for a 16-bit system and expose any serious
flaws in the DL performance. If the memory incrementing
hardware can keep pace with the ADC701. then 20 million
samples can be accumulated in well under one minute. The
last figure on page six shows the results of a 19.6 million
point histogram taken at an input frequency of 1kHz.

A more direct method of examining the differential linearity
(DL) performance is by using the popular histogram test
method (5). Application of the histogram test to the ADC701/
SHC702 is relatively straightforward. though once again
extra precision is required for a 16-bit system compared to 8or 12-bit systems. Basically. this means that a very large
number of samples are requited to build an accurate statistical picture of each code width. If a histogram is taken using
only one million points. then the average number of samples
per code is less than fifteen. This is inadequate for good
statistical confidence. and the resulting DL plot will look
considerably worse than the actual performance of the

THEORY OF OPERATION
ADC7802 uses the advantages of advanced CMOS technology (logic density. stable capacitors. precision analog
switches. and iow power consumption) to provide a precise
12-bit anaIog-to-digitaI converter with on-chip SaI\1pling and
four-channel analog-input multiplexer.
The input stage consists of an analog multiplexer with an
address latch to select from four input channels.

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement. Vol. 33b

Or, Call Customer Service at 1-800-548-6132 (USA Only)
The converter stage consists of an advanced successive
approximation architecture using charge redistribution on a
capacitor network to digitize the input signal. A temperaturestabilized differential auto-zeroing circuit is used to minimize offset errors in the comparator. This allows offset errors
to be corrected during the acquisition phase of each conversion cycle.
Linearity errors in the binary weighted main capacitor network are corrected using a capacitor trim network and
correction factors stored in on-chip memory. The correction
terms are calculated by a microcontroller during a calibration
cycle. initiated either by power-up or by applying an external
calibration signal at any time. During conversion. the correct
trim capacitors are switched into the main capacitor array as
needed to correct the conversion accuracy. This is faster than
a complex digital error correction system. which could slow
down the throughput rate. With all of the capacitors in both
the main array and the trim array on the same chip. excellent
stability is achieved. both over temperature and over time.
For flexibility. timing circuits include both an internal clock
generator and an input for an external clock to synchronize
with external systems. Standard control signals and threestate input/output registers simplify interfacing ADC7802 to
most micro-controllers. microprocessors or digital storage
systems.
Finally. this performance is matched with the low-power
advantages of CMOS structures to allow a typical power
consumption of IOmW.

conversion process (including sample acquisition and conversion). and rises only after the conversion is completed.
The two bytes of output data can then be read using pin 18
(RD) and pin 21 (HBE).
.
STARTING A CONVERSION

A conversion is initiated on the rising edge of the WR input,
with valid signals on AO. A I and CS. The selected input
channel is sampled for five clock cycles. during which the
comparator offset is also auto-zeroed to below 1/4LSB of
error. The successive approximation conversion takes place
during clock cycles 6 through 17.
Figures 2 and 3 show the full conversion sequence and the
timing to initiate a conversion.
CALIBRATION

A calibration cycle is initiated automatically upon power-up
(or after a power failure). Calibration can also be initiated by
the user at any time by the rising edge of a minimum lOOnswide LOW pulse on the CAL pin (pin 26). or by setting DI
HIGH in the Special Function Register (see SFR section). A

calibration command will initiate a calibration cycle. regardless of whether a conversion is in process. During a calibnition cycle. convert commands are ignored. .
Calibration takes 168 clock cycles. and a normal conversion
(17 clock cycles) is added automatically. For maximum
accuracy. the supplies and reference need to be stable during
the calibration procedure. To ensure that supply voltages and
reference voltages have settled and are stable. an internal
timer provides a waiting period of 42.425 clock cycles
between power-uplpower-failure and the start of the calibralion cycle.
.
READING DATA

Data from the ADC7802 is read in two 8-bit bytes. with the
Low byte containing the 8 LSBs of data. and the High byte
containing the 4 MSBs of data. The outputs are coded in
straight binary (with OV =000 hex. 5V =FFF hex). and the
data is presented in a right-justified format (with the LSB as
the moSt right bit in the 16-bit word). Two read operations are
required to transfer the High byte and Low byte. and the
bytes are presented according to the input level on the High
Byte Enable pin (HBE).

The bytes can be read in either order. depending on the status
of the HBE input. If HBE changes while CS and RD are
LOW. the output data will change to correspond to the HBE
input. Figure 4 shows the timing for reading first the Low
byte and then the High byte.

TRANSPARENT MODE
This is the default mode for ADC7802. In this mode. the
conversion decisions from the successive approximation
register are latched into the output register as they are made.
Thus. the High byte (the 4 MSBs) can be read after the end
of the ninth clock cycle (five clock cycles for the mux

ADC7802 provides two modes for reading the conversion
results. At power-up. the converter is set in the Transparent
Mode.

sions.) The complete 12-bit data is available after BUSY has
gone HIGH. or the internal status flag goes LOW (07 when
HBE is HIGH).
LATCHED OUTPUT MODE
This mode is activated by writing a HIGH to DO and LOWs
to 01 to 07 in the Special Function Register with CS and WR
LOW and SFR and HBE HIGH. (See the discussion of the
Special Function Register below.)
In this mode. the data from a conversion is latched into the
output buffers only after a conversion is complete. and
remains there until the next conversion is completed. The
conversion result is valid during the next conversion. This
allows the data to be read even after a new conversion is
started. for faster system throughput.

SPECIAL FUNcnON REGISTER (SFR)
An internal register is available. either to determine additional data concerning the ADC7802. or to write additional
instructions to the converter. Access to the Special Function
Register is made by driving SFR HIGH.
Table II shows the data in the Special Function Register that
will be transferred to the output bus by driving HBE HIGH
(with SFR HIGH) and initiating a read cycle (driving RD and
CS LOW with WR HIGH as shown in Figure 4.) The Power
Fail flag in the SFR is set when the power supply falls below
about3V. The flag also means that a new calibration has been
started. and any data written to the SFR has been lost. Thus.
the ADC7802 will again be in the Transparent Mode. Writing
a LOW to 05 in the SFR resets the Power Fail flag. The Cal
Error flag in the SFR is set when an overflow occurs during
calibration. which may happen in very noisy systems. It is
reset by starting a calibration. and remains low after a
calibration without an overflow is completed.

Writing a HIGH to 03 in the FSR puts the ADC7S02 in the
Power Down Mode. Power consumption is reduced to 50l1W
and 03 remains HIGH. To exit Power Down Mode. either
write a LOW to 03 in the SFR. or initiate a calibration by
sending a LOW to the CAL pin or writing a HIGH to 01.
During Power Down Mode. a pulse on CS and WR will
initiate a single conversion. then the ADC7S02 will revert to
power down.
Table III shows how instructions can be transfetred to the
Special Function Register by driving HBE HIGH (with SFR
HIGH) and initiating a write cycle (driving WR and CS
LOW with RD HIGH.) The timing is shown in Figure 3. Note
that writing to the SFR also initiates a new conversion.

input capacitance. To ensure a conversion accurate to 12 bits,
the analog source must be able to charge the SOpF and settle
within the first five clock cycles after a conversion is initiated. During this time, the input is also very sensitive to noise
at the analog input, since it could be injected into the
capacitor array.
In many applications, a simple passive low-pass filter as
shown in Figure 9a can be used to improve signal quality. In
this case, the source impedance needs to be less than Skn to
keep the induced offset errors below I/2LSB, and to meet the
acquisition time of five clock cycles. The values in Figure 9a
meet these requirements, and will maintain the full power
bandwidth of the system. For higher source impedances, a
buffer like the one in Figure 9b should be used.

INPUT PROTECTION
The input signal range must not exceed ±VREF or VA by more
than O.3V.
The analog inputs are intemally clamped to VA' To prevent
damage to the ADC7802, the current thai can flow into the
inputs must be limited to 20mA. One approach is to use an
external resistor in series with the input filter resistor. For
example, a Ikn input resistor allows an overvoltage to lOV
without damage.

REFERENCE INPUTS
A IOJ.1F tantalum capacitor is recommended between VREF+
and VREF- to insure low source impedance. These capacitors
should be located as close as possible to the ADC7802 to
reduce dynamic errors, since the reference provides packets
of current as the successive approximation steps are carried
out.
VREf+ must not exceed VA' Although the accuracy is specified with VREF+ = SV and VREF- = OV, the converter can
function with VREF+ as low as 2.SV and VREF-as high as IV.
As long as there is at least a 2.SV difference between VREF+
and VREf-' the absolute value of errors does not change
significantly, so that accuracy will typically be within
±ILSB. (l/2LSB for a SV span is 61 OJ1V, which is lLSB for
a 2.SV span.)
The power supply to the reference source needs to be considered during system design to prevent VREF+from exceeding (or overshooting) VA' particularly at power-on. Also,
after power-on, if the reference is not stable within 42,425
clock cycles, an additional calibration cycle may be needed.

POWER SUPPUES
The digital and analog power supply lines to theADC7802

should be bypassed with 10J.1F tantalum capacitors as close

to the part as possible. Although ADC7802 has excellent
power supply rejection. even for higher frequencies. linear
regulated power supplies are recommended.
Care should be taken to insure that V0 does not come up
before VA' or permanent damage to the part may occur.
Figure 10 shows a good supply approach. powering both VA
and Vo from a clean linear supply. with the IOn resistor
between VA and V0 insuring that V0 comes up after VA' This
is also a good method to further isolate the ADC7802 from
digital supplies in a system with significant switching currents that could degrade the accuracy of conversions.
GROUNDING
To maximize accuracy of the ADC7802. the analog and
digital grounds are not connected internally. These points
should have very low impedance' to avoid digital noise
feeding back into the analog ground. The VREf- pin is used as
the reference point for input signals. so it should be connected directly to AGND to reduce potential noise problems.
EXTERNAL CLOCK OPERATION
The circuitry required to drive the ADC7802 clock from an

external source is shown in Figure Ila. The external clock
must provide a 0.8V max for LOW and a 3.SV min for
HIGH. with rise and fall times that do not exceed 200ns. The
minimum pulse width of the external clock must be 300ns.
Synchronizing the conversion clock to an external system
clock is recommended in microprocessor applications to
prevent beat-frequency problems.

as shown in the typical performance curves. Therefore. use
of an external clock source is preferred in many applications
where control of the conversion timing is critical. or where
multiple converters need to be synchronized.

APPLICATIONS
BIPOLAR INPUT RANGES
Figure 12 shows a circuit to accurately and simply convert a
bipolar ±5V input signal into a unipolar 0 to SV signal for
conversion by the ADC7802. using a precision. low-cost
complete difference amplifier.INAI05.
Figure 13 shows a circuit to convert a bipolar ±IOV input
signal into a unipolar 0 to SV signal for conversion by the
ADC7802. The precision of this circuit will depend on the
matching and tracking of the three resistors used.
To trim this circuit for full 12-bit precision. R2 and R3 need
to be adjustable over appropriate ranges. To trim. first have
the ADC7802 converting continually and apply +9.9927V
(+IOV -1.5LSB) at the input. Adjust R3 until the ADC7802
output toggles between the codes FFE hex and FFF hex. This
makes R3 extremely close toRI. Then.apply-9.9976V (-IOV
+ O.SLSB) at the input. and adjust R2 until the ADC7802

output toggles between 000 hex and 001 hex. At each trim
point, the current through the third resistor will be almost
zero, so that one trim iteration will be enough in most cases.
More iterations may be required if the op amp selected has
large offset voltage or bias currents, or if the +SV reference
is not precise.
This circuit can also be used to adjust gain and offset errors
due to the components preceding the ADC7802, to match the
performance of the self-calibration provided by the converter.

INTERFACING TO MOTOROLA
MICROPROCESSORS
Figure 14 shows a typical interface to Motorola microprocessors, while Figure 15 shows how the result can be placed in
register DO.
Conversion is initiated by a write instruction decoded by the
address decoder logic, with the lower two bits of the address
bus selecting an ADC input channel, as follows:

read instruction to ADC-ADDRESS as follows:
MOVEP.W $000 (ADC-ADDRESS), DO
This puts the 12-bit conversion result in the DO register, as
shown in Figure IS. The address decoder must pull down
ADC_CS at ADC-ADDRESS to access the Low byte and
ADC-ADDRESS +2 to access the High byte.

INTERFACING TO INTEL MICROPROCESSORS
Figure 16 shows a typical interface to Intel.
A conversion is initiated by a write instruction to address
ADC_CS. Data pins DOO and DOl select the analog input
channel. The BUSY signal can be used to generate a microprocessor interrupt (INT) when the conversion is completed.
A read instruction from the ADC_CS address fetches the
Low byte, and a read instruction from the ADC_CS address
+2 fetches the High byte.

DESCRIPTION
The PCM78P is a low-cost 16-bit ND converter which
is specifically designed and tested for dynamic applications. It features very fast, low distortion perfonnance (4J.1S/-88dB THD+N typical) and is complete
with internal clock and reference circuitry. The PCM78P
is packaged in a reliable, low-cost 28-pin plastic DIP
and data output is available in user-selectable serial
output fonnats. The PCM78P is ideal for digital audio
tape (DAT) recorders. Many similar applications such
as digital signal processing and telecom applications
are equally well served by the PCM78P.
The PCM78P uses a SAR technique. Analog and
digital portions are efficiently partitioned into a highspeed, bipolar section and a low-power CMOS section.
The PCM78P has been optimized for excellent dynamic perfonnance and low cost.

If Short Cycle is not held low until the next convert
command is issued, the Status line will go high in
synchronization with Short Cycle. This is because the
operation of the Status line becomes invalid after Short
Cycle is asserted. An example of the Short Cycle operation
is shown in Figure 12.
In those systems where a user may not be using a continuous
external clock, it is necessary to assure that a faIling edge
of external clock occurs after short cycle goes low. This is
because conversion actually stops on the first faIling edge
of external clock after Short Cycle goes low.

ANALOG CIRCUIT CONSIDERATIONS
Layout Precautions
Analog and Digital Common are connected internally in the
PCM78, and should be connected together as close to the
unit as possible, preferably to a large ground plane under the
ADC. Low impedance analog and digital common returns
are essential for low noise performance. Coupling between
analog inputs and digital lines should be minimized by
careful layout. The input pin (pin I) and the MSB adjust pin
(pin 3) are both extremely sensitive to noise; digital lines
should be kept away from these pins to avoid coupling
digital noise into the sensitive analog circuitry.
Figure 13 shows a recommended PCB layout for the
PCM78.

Power Supply Decoupling
The power supplies should be bypassed with tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors as shown in Figure 14 to obtain noise
free operation. These capacitors should be located as close
to the ADC as possible. Bypass the IJ.lF electrolytic
capacitors with O.OIJ.lF ceramic or polystyrene capacitors
for improved high frequency performance.

decoupling capacitor should range from O.IIlF to 4.7J.lF;
larger values can cause reference settling problems which
may manifest themselves as missing codes. This capacitor
should be as close to the PCM78 as possible, to minimize
the potential for coupling noise into the device; with a good
board layout it may be best to leave this capacitor out of the
circuit altogether, as the extra lead length may only cause
more noise in the reference.
Pin 27 is a decoupling point to ground, as well as the output
of the 2V reference. This point should not be used to supply
reference voltage to external circuitry unless it is buffered.
A 2.21lF capacitor is recommended, and the capacitor used
here should not exceed 4.7IlF.
Pin 28, the Speed Up pin, allows a capacitor to be connected
to ground to facilitate reference settling. This does not speed
up the conversion time, but it does reduce odd order
harmonic distortion. As with the. decoupling capacitor on
pin 25, this may also contribute to noise; if harmonic content
is most important in an application, this capacitor (O.IJ.lF IOIlF) should be connected. In all other cases, it is best to
leave the capacitor out of the circuit.

Input Scaling
The analog input should be scaled as close to the maximum
input signal range as possible in order to utilize the
maximum signal resolution of the AID converter. The DAC
inside the PCM78 has a ±2mA range, and the nominal ±3V
input is scaled by a 1.5ill resistor. In order to scale to other
ranges, see Table I for recommended scaling resistor values,
connected as shown in Figure IS.

The input signal to the PCM78 should come from a low
impedance source, such as the output of an op amp, to avoid
any errors due to the dynamic input impedance that a successive-approximation converter presents to the the outside
world because of the changing currents in this circuit during
conversion as the converter steps through its approximations.
If the driving circuit output impedance is not low, a buffer
amplifier should be added between the input signal and the
direct input to the PCM78 as shown in Figure 16.

MSB Adjustment
Differential Linearity errors at bipolar zero and THD are
guaranteed to meet data sheet specifications without any
external adjustment. However, a provision has been made
for an optional adjustment of the MSB linearity point which
makes it possible to eliminate DLE error at BPZ. This is
important when the signal level is very low, because zero
crossing noise (DLE at BPZ) becomes very significant when
compared to the small codes changes occurring in the LSB
portion of the converter.

The PCM78 is laser trimmed for best performance at the
factory without the MSB adjust circuitry installed; if better
performance can be obtained it would be by the addition of
the MSB adjust circuitry shown in Figure 17.
The best method of adjusting the MSB is by using a real time
FFT routine to monitor the levels of odd order harmonics
when a sine-wave is being digitized by the PCM78.
Adjusting the potentiometer in Figure 17 will allow the user
to reduce the magnitude of odd-order harmonics.
An alternate method is to recontruct the data out of the
PCM78 through a DAC, and measure THD+N on a
conventional distortion analyzer. Adjust the potentiometer
for minimum THD+N.

VOLTAGE-TO-FREQUENCY
CONVERTERS

Voltage-to-frequency converters provide a simple, low-cost way of converting analog signals into digital form. They provide an important alternative
to other analog-to-digital conversion techniques. Their integrating input
properties make them an appropriate choice when operating in noisy
environments. The combination of high accuracy and linearity, low temperature drift, and monotonicity often provides performance characteristics
unattainable with other techniques.
Since an analog quantity represented as a frequency is inherently serial data,
it is easily handled in large multi-channel systems. Frequency information
can be transmitted over long lines with excellent noise immunity using low
cost digital line transmitters and receivers. Isolation can be accomplished
with optical or transformer couplers without loss in accuracy. Outputs from
multiple VFCs can be gated to common counter circuitry with simple digital
logic. Low-cost isolation is obtained when a VFC is used together with
DC/DC converter and a single optical coupler.
Burr-Brown monolithic voltage-to-frequency converters provide industrystandard performance and reliability in such applications as precision test
and measurement equipment, data acquisition systems, communications
equipment, and process control.

OPERATION
Figure I shows the connections required for operation at a
full-scale output frequency of 4MHz. Only power supply
bypass capacitors and an output pull-up resistor, Rpu' are
required for this mode of operation. A OV to IOV input
voltage produces a OHz to 4MHz output frequency. The
internal input resistor, one-shot and integrator capacitors set
the full-scale output frequency. The input is applied to the
summing junction of the integrator amplifier through the
25kf.l internal input resistor. Pin 14 (the non-inverting
amplifier input) should be referred directly to the negative
side of VIN' The common-mode range of the integrating
amplifier is limited to approximately - I V to + I V referred to
analog ground. This allows the non-inverting input to Kelvin-sense the common connection of VIN' easily accommo-

dating any ground-drop errors. The input impedance loading
VIN is equal to the input resistor-approximately 25kf.l.

tz

III

OPERATION AT LOWER FREQUENCIES

The VFCllO can be operated at lower frequencies simply by
limiting the input voltage to less than the nominal IOV fullscale input. To maintain a IOV FS input and highest accuracy, however, external components are required (see Table
I). Small adjustments may be required in the nominal values
indicated. Integrator and one-shot capacitors are added in
parallel to internal capacitors. Figure 2 shows the connections required for 100kHz full scale output. The pne-shot
capacitor, Cos' should be connected to logic ground. The
one-shot connection (pin 6) is not short-circuit protected.
Short-circuits to ground may damage the device.

The integrator capacitor's value does not directly affect the
output frequency, but determines the magnitude of the voltage swing on the integrator's output. Using a CINT equal to
Cos provides an integrator output swing from OV to approximately 1.5V.

COMPONENT SELECTION
Selection of the external resistor and capacitor type is important. Temperature drift of an external input resistor and oneshot capacitor will affect temperature stability of the output
frequency. NPO ceramic capacitors will normally produce
the best results. Silver-mica types will result in slightly
higher drift, but may be adequate in many applications. A
low temperature coefficient film resistor should be used for
RIN •
The integrator capacitor serves as a "charge bucket," where
charge is accumulated from the input, VIN' and that charge is
drained during the one-shot period. While the size of the
bucket (capacitor value) is not critical, it must not leak.

PULL-UP RESISTOR
The VFC II 0' s frequency output is an open -collector transistor. A pull-up resistor should be connected from fOUT to the
logic supply voltage, +V L. The output transistor is On during
the one-shot period, causing the output to be a logic Low.
The current flowing in this resistor should be limited to SmA
to assure a 0.4V maximum logic Low. The value chosen for
the pull-up resistor may depend on the full-scale frequency
and capacitance on the output line. Excessive capacitance on
fOUT will cause a slow, rounded rising edge at the end of an
output pulse. This effect can be minimized by using a pullup resistor which sets the output current to its maximum of
SmA. The logic power supply can be any positive voltage up
to +Vs.

ceramic capacitors can be used for values less than 0.01J.IF.
Use caution with higher value ceramic capacitors. High-k
ceramic capacitors may have voltage nonlinearities which
can degrade overall linearity. Polystyrene. polycarbonate, or
mylar film capacitors are superior for high values.

• Use internal component only.
The values given were determined empirically to give the optimal performance, taking into consideration tradeoffs between linearity and jitter for each
given full scale frequency of operation. The capacitors listed were chosen
from standard values of NPO ceramic type"capacitors while the resistor
values were rounded off. Larger CINT values may improve linearity. but may
also increase frequency noise.

A logic Low at the Enable input causes output pulses to
cease. This is accomplished by interrupting the signal path
through the one-shot circuitry. While disabled, all circuitry
remains active and quiescent current is unchanged. Since no
reset current pulses can occur while disabled, any pOsitive
input voltage will cause the integrator op amp to ramp negatively and saturate at its most negative output swing of approximately -O.7V.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The VFCII0 uses a charge-balance technique to achieve
high accuracy. The heart of this technique is an analog
integrator formed by the integrator op amp, feedback capacitor Coo' and input resistor RIN • The integrator's output voltage is proportional to the charge stored in C INT • An
input voltage develops an input current of VIN/RIN' which
is forced to flow through Coo' This current charges C 1NT,
causing the integrator output voltage to ramp negatively.
When the output of the integrator ramps to OV, the comparator trips, triggering the one-shot. This connects the
reference current, IREF' to the integrator input during the
one-shot period, Tos' This switched current causes the
integrator output to ramp positively until the one-shot
period ends. Then the cycle starts again.
The oscillation is regulated by the balance of current (or
charge) between the input current and the time-averaged

Effect of

reset current. The equation of current balance is
lIN

= IREF • Duty Cycle

~

VIN/RIN = IREF • fOUT • To
where To is the one-shot period and fOUT is the oscillation
frequency.

Io

()

When the Enable input receives a logic High (greater than
+2V), a reset current cycle is initiated (causing fOUT to go
Low). The integrator ramps positively and normal operation
is established. The time required for the output frequency to
stabilize is equal to approximately one cycle of the final
output frequency plus IllS.
Using the Enable input, several VFCs' outputs can be connected to a single output line. All disabled VFCs will have a
high output impedance; one active VFC can then transmit on
the output line. Since the disabled VFCs are not oscillating,
they cannot interfere or "lock" with the operating VFC.
Locking can occur when one VFC operates at nearly the
same frequency as--or a multiple of--a nearby VFC.
Coupling between the two may cause them to lock to the
same or exact multiple frequency. It then takes a small incremental input voltage change to unlock them. Locking cannot
occur when unneeded VFCs are disabled.

REFERENCE VOLTAGE

The VREF output is useful for offsetting the transfer function
and exciting sensors. Figure 3 shows VREF used to offset the
transfer function of the VFCllO to achieve a bipolar input
voltage range. Sub-surface zener reference circuitry is used
for low noise and excellent temperature drift. Output current
is specified to lOrnA and current-limited to approximately
20rnA. Excessive or variable loads on VREF can. decrease
frequency stability due to internal heating.
MEASURING THE OUTPUT FREQUENCY

To complete an integrating AID conversion, the output frequency of the VFCllO must be counted. Simple frequency
counting is accomplished by counting output pulses for a
reference time (usually derived from a crystal oscillator).

This can be implemented with counter/timer peripheral chips
available for many popular microprocessor families. Many
micro-controllers have counter inputs that can be programmed
for frequency measurement.

standard deviation (10) count variation (as a percentage of
FS counts) versus counter gate time.

Since fOUT is an open-collector device, the negative-going
edge provides the fastest logic transition. Clocking the counter
on the falling edge will provide the best results in noisy
environments.

The VFClIO can also be connected as a frequency-tovoltage converter (Figure 4). Input frequency pulses are
applied to the comparator input. A negative-going pulse
crossing OV initiates a reference current pulse which is
averaged by the integrator op amp. The values of the oneshot capacitor and feedback resistor (same as RJN) are determined with Table I. The input frequency pulse must not
remain negative for longer than the duration of the one-shot
period. Figure 4 shows the required timing to assure this. If
the negative-going input frequency pulses are longer in du'ration, the capacitive coupling circuit shown can be used.
Level shift or capacitive coupling circuitry should not provide pulses which go lower than -5V or damage to the
comparator input may occur.

Frequency can also be measured by accurately timing the
period of one or more cycles of the "FC's output. Frequency
must then be computed since it is inversely proportional to
the measured period. This measurement technique can provide higher measurement resolution in short conversion
times. It is the method used in most high-performance
laboratory frequency counters. It is usually necessary to
offset the transfer function so OV input causes a finite
frequency out. Otherwise the output period (and therefore the
conversion time) approaches infinity.
FREQUENCY NOISE

Frequency noise (small random variation in the output frequency) limits the useful resolution of fast frequency measurement techniques. Long measurement time averages the
affect of frequency noise and achieves the maximum useful
resolution. The VFCllO is designed to minimize frequency
noise and allows improved useful resolution with short
measurement times. The typical curve "Frequency Count
Repeatability vs Counter Gate Time" shows the effect of
noise as the counter gate time is varied. It shows the one

This frequency-to-voltage converter operates by averaging
(filtering) the reference current pulses triggered on every
falling edge at the frequency input. Voltage ripple with a
frequency equal to the input will be present in the output
voltage. The magnitude of this ripple voltage is inversely
proportional to'the integrator capacitor. The ripple can be
made arbitrarily small with a large capacitor, but at the
sacrifice of settling time. The R-C time constant of Coo and
RJN determine the settling behavior. A better compromise
between output ripple and settling time can be achieved by
adding a low-pass filter following the voltage output.

DESCRIPTION
The VFCl2l is a monolithic voltage-to-frequency
converter consisting of an integrating amplifier, voltage reference, and one-shot charge pump circuitry.
High-frequency complementary NPNjPNP circuitry is
used to implement the charge-balance technique,
achieving speed and accuracy far superior to previous
single power supply VFCs.
The high-impedance input accepts signals from ground

THEORY OF OPERATION

for the duration of the one-shot period, Tos' This switched
current causes the output of the integrator to ramp negative.

The VFCl2l uses a charge-balance technique to achieve
high accuracy. The basic architecture is shown in Figure I.
An analog integrator at the front end, consisting of a precision op amp and a feedback capacitor, C INT, provides a true
integrating approach for improved noise immunity. Use of
the non-invening input of the op amp for the analog input
provides a high input impedance to the user.

When the one-shot times out, the output of the VFC121 is
reset High, the one-shot is reset, and IREF is switched to the
output of the integrating op amp. (This causes the output of

the integrating op amp to see a constant current, reducing
errors that might occur if the load were unbalanced.) In this
state, the output of the integrator resumes a positive ramp,
restarting the cycle.
The output frequency is regulated by the balarice of current
(or charge) between the current VtNlRtN and the time-averaged reset current. The size of the integrating capacitor, CtNT,
determines the slew rate of the integrator, and thus how far
down the integrator ramps during the one-shot period, but
has no effect on the output frequency of the VFCI21.
The reference voltage used internally is generated from a
bandgap reference, which is actively trimmed to achieve the
low drift characteristics of the VFCI21. To maximize flexibility of designs using the VFC121, both the bandgap reference voltage and a thermometer voltage are available externally.

INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC OPERATION

The VFC121 allows users a wide range of input voltages and
supply voltages, and easy control of the full scale output
frequency. The basic connections are shown in Figure 3,
with components that generate a 100kHz output with a 2V
full scale input.
For other input and output ranges, the full scale input
voltages and full scale output frequencies can be calculated
as follows:

The full scale input current of 250JlA was chosen to provide
a 25% duty cycle in the output frequency. The VFC121 is
designed to give optimum linearity under these condi.tions,
but other current levels can be used without significantly
degrading linearity. By reducing RtN , the integrating current
is increased, increasing the positive ramp rate of the integra-

10-16

tor output. Since the one-shot period is unchanged, the duty
cycle of the output increases.
Stray capacitance at the Cos pin typically adds about 60pF to
the capacitance of the external Cos. which accounts for the
adjustment in the above .equation. This usually becomes
negligible as the required output frequency is reduced. and
Cos is increased.
RB1AS is included in the circuit in Figure 3 to compensate for
the effects of bias currents at the input of the integrating op
amp. It is optional in most applications, but when needed.
RRIAS should equal RtN •
Table 1 indicates standard external component values for
common input voltage ranges and output frequency ranges.
COMPONENT SELECTION
Selection of the external resistor and capacitor type is important. Temperature drift of the external input resistor and oneshot capacitor will affect temperature stability of the output
frequency. NPO ceramic capacitors will normally produce
the best results. Silver-mica types will result in slightly higher drift, but may be adequate in many applications. A low
temperature coefficient film resistor should be used for RtN •

The integrator capacitor, CtNT, serves as a "charge bucket,"
where charge accumulation is induced by the input, VtN' and
repeatedly reduced during the one-shot period. The size of

the bucket (the capacitor value) is not critical, since it
primarily determines how far b.elow VREF the output of the
integrator ramps during the one-shot period. At the same
time, the capacitor used must not leak since capacitor leakage or dielectric absorption can affect the linearity and offset
of the transfer function. High-quality ceramic capacitors can
be used for values less than O.OI11F, but caution should be
used with higher value ceramic capacitors. High-k ceramic
capacitors may have voltage non-linearities which can degrade overall linearity. Polystyrene, polycarbonate, or mylar
film capacitors are superior for higher capacitance values.
During the one-shot period, the output of the integrator is
ramping down. To prevent the integrating op amp from
being saturated at its minimum output of 0.8V, Coo should
be kept at lea~t 1.7 x Cos'

OUTPUT FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT
The full scale output frequency of the VFCI21 can be
adjusted using a trim-pot, R,-RIM in Figure 3, in series with
R1W For optimum drift vs temPerature, a low temperature
coefficient fixed resistor of approximately 90% of the calculated RIN requirement should be used in series with a trimpot approximately 20% of the size of the calculated RIN • The
low-drift fixed resistor contributes most of the final RIN
resistance, so that the effect of higher drift from the trim-pot
is attenuated in the total RIN •

PULL-UP RESISTOR
The VFCI21 's frequency output is an open-collector transistor. A pull-up resistor should be connected from fOUT to the
logic supply, +VL • The output transistor is On during the
one-shot period, causing the output to be logic Low. The
current flowing in this resistor should be limited to lOrnA to
assure a 0.4 V maximum logic Low. The value chosen for the
pull-up resistor may depend on the full-scale frequency and
capacitance on the output line. Excessive capacitance on
fOUT will cause a slow, rounded rising edge at the end of an
output pulse. This effect can be minimized by using a pullup resistor which sets the output current to its maximum of
10mA. The logic power supply can be any positive voltage
up to +36V.

ENABLE PIN
If left unconnected, the Enable input wiJI assume a logic
Low level, enabling the output stage, Alternatively, the
Enable input may be connected directly to ground. This pin
can also be driven by standard TTL or CMOS logic.
A logic High at the Enable input causes output pulses to
cease. This is accomplished by interrupting the signal path
through the one-shot circuitry. While disabled, all circuitry
remains active and quiescent current is unchanged. Since no
reset current pulses can occur while disabled, any positive
input voltage will cause the integrator op amp to ramp
positive and saturate at its most positive output swing of
approximately VREF + 0.7V.
When the Enable input receives a logic Low (less than
0.8V), a reset current cycle is initiated, (causing fOUT to go

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol. 33b

Low). The integrator ramps negatively and normal operation
is established. The time required for the output frequency to
stabilize is equal to approximately one cycle of the final
output frequency plus IllS.
Using the Enable input, the outputs from several VFCs can
be connected to a single line. All disabled VFCs will have a
high output impedance; one active VFC can then transmit on
the line. Since disabled VFCs are not oscillating, they cannot
interfere or "lock" with the operating VFC. Locking can
occur when one VFC operates at nearly the same frequency,
or a multiple, as a nearby VFC. Coupling between the two
may cause them to lock to the same frequency or an exact
multiple~ It then takes a small incremental input voltage
change on one of the VFCs to unlock them. Locking cannot
occur when unneeded VFCs are disabled.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
OPERATION FROM 10kHz TO 210kHz
The VFCI21 is designed to provide an output frequency
starting at OHz for a OV input and increasing linearly to the
full scale output frequency, fFS ' at the full scale input voltage, VFS ' For applications where low level inputs, near OV,
are critical, it may be inconvenient to have an output frequency approaching OHz. Figure 4 shows a circuit which
transforms a OV to 2V input level into output frequencies
from 10kHz to 210kHz, by placing a resistor divider network between the input source and the VREF output of the
VFC 121. This produces a positive voltage at + VIN when the
input to the circuit is grounded. This circuit makes use of the
high input impedance at +VIN'

USING THE VFC121 THERMOMETER VOLTAGE
Because of the high input impedance of the VFC121(which
results from using the non-inverting input to the integrating op
amp), it is relatively simple to use a standard multiplexer in
front of the VFC121. One of the possible reason to multiple"
the input to the VFCl21 is to use it to track temperature
changes in the operating environment of the electronics in a
system, in addition to using the VFC 121 in its norinaJ mode to
measure an analog signal.
Figure 5 shows a way to do this. In this circuit, the normal
analog input signals to be multiplexed through the VFC121
have a full scale voltage of2V, and generate a full scale output
frequency of 100kHz. To measure the electronics system
temperature, the user selects the multiplexer channel connected to the thermometer voltage on pin 3. A measured

output frequency froni the VFCl2l, with the multiplexer on
channelS, now corresponds to the temperature of the electronics as follows:

FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

• ZERO·CHIP INTERFACE TO STANDARD
DSP ICs: AD, AT&T,MOTOROLA, TI

The DSP201 and DSP202 are high perfonnance digital-to-analog converters designed for simplicity of use
with modem digital signal processing lCs. Both are
complete with all interface logic for use directly with
DSP lCs. and provide analog output .voltages updated
at up to 500kHz.

• SINGLE CHANNEL: DSP201
• DUAL CHANNEL: DSP202
Two Serial Inputs or Cascade from Single
32·BltWord
• SAMPLING RATE TO 500kHz
• DYNAMIC SPECIFICATIONS:
Slgnall(Nolse + Distortion) = 9OdB;
THD=-92dB
• USER SELECTABLE 16-BIT OR 18-BIT
DATA WORDS

Convert Command

The DSP201 offers a single complete voltage output

channel. accepting either 16 bits or 18 bits of input
data. and can be driven by 16-bit. 24-bit, or 32-bit
serial ports. The DSP202 offers two complete voltage
output channels, with either two separate input ports,
or a mode to drive both output channels from a single
32-bit word.
Both the DSP20 I and DSP202 are packaged in standard, low-cost 28-pin plastic DIP packages. Each is
offered in two perfonnance grades to match application requirements.

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol.33b

Or, Call Customer Service at 1-800-548-6132 (USA Only)
These system components are described below. More detailed descriptions can be provided upon request.

ANALOG SIGNAL INPUT BOX (ZPD1OO2)
The single or dual-channel external input box contains one
or two ADC603s and drivers to provide high performance
analog input into the system. The ADC603 is a 12-bit
IOMHz sampling analog-to-digital converter.
COMPUTER PLATFORM
The system is designed to operate in an IBM PC/AT environment with an EGA or VGA monitor and MicrosoftO!>
Mouse. Although the standard system does not include the
computer platform, a factory supplied computer (IBM ATcompatible) is available as an option. If the computer is
purchased, all of the components are tested as a complete
system, and shipped from the factory as a "ready-to-use"
instrument. (Contact Customer Support at 1-800-548-6132
for price and delivery information for the complete system
including the computer platform.)

DSP PROCESSOR BOARD (ZPB34-004)
The DSP processor board provided with the system (ZPB34004) uses an AT&T DSP32C processor. This processor is
capable of 25MFLOPS and is able to perform a 32-Bit
multiply/accumulate instruction in 8Ons. The board has
576KB of local SRAM and buffered high-speed (I0MBits
per second) serial I/O ports.

DIGITAL INPUT BUFFER (ZPB6064)
Due to the high speed sample rate of the ADC603, the
system includes a digital input buffer board. This high speed
card will capture, and subsequentially transfer, up to 65,536
words of data. Buffer size is set through the PC I/O port for
32 to 65,536 words with a word being 16 bits of digital
information on either the ECL or TTL input signal at speeds
from near DC to IOMHz.
Input data capture can be controlled by the Trigger function
which can be either an external (ECl/ITL) signal or a PC
I/O control byte. Post trigger data capture can be set for I to
maximum buffer size minus one.
A second digital input buffer can be installed and slaved to
the first card. The two boards can be triggered and clocked
independently or simultaneously. When both buffers are
full, the data can be serially transferred as 32-bit words (two
concatenated 16-bit words). This feature can double the
effective capture speed or allow two independent 16-bit
input paths.

DYNAMIC SIGNAL ANALYSIS
SOFTWARE (ZPA100)
At the heart of the system is the Dynamic Signal Analysis
software which transforms the PC into a complete test and
evaluation instrument, capable of analyzing data in time and
frequency domain as well as producing linearity measurements. The software allows the PC to operate as any of three

Burr-Brown Ie Data Book Supplement, Vol.33b

test instruments: digitizing scope, spectrum analyzer and
histogram analyzer.
As a digitizing scope, the user may view, measure and
analyze incoming data in the time domain.
Operating as a spectrum analyzer, FFrs are used for viewing, measuring or analyzing incoming data in the frequency
domain. Direct readout of harmonic content, THO, SNR,
THD + SNR, DC offset, and spurious-free dynamic range is
possible through spectrum analysis.
Functioning as an histogram analyzer, the user may display
histograms, differential non-linearity (DNL), and integral
non-linearity (INL). For convenience, the software is completely mouse-driven allowing the user to zoom, pan, move
markers, use display lines, or change parameters with simple
mouse movements. Setup save and load features are also
included.

DSP DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE (ZPM32)
A second integral piece of software provided for real-time
development is DSPlay XL. Supplied with over 100 block
functions, DSPlay XL uses F10WgramsTM (block diagrams
of an application) to develop algorithms which are executed
on the system's DSP processor. Once designed and verified,
the executable code can be saved and ported to any DSP
system using the AT&T DSP32 or DSP32C processors.

HIGH PERFORMANCE
WORKSTATION CONRGURATIONS
As an integrated system, the state-of-the-art development
and evaluation tools described above form a user-friendly,
yet extremely powerful, workstation environment for realtime DSP applications. Since the applications for DSP are
varied, two configurations for the high performance development system are offered.

Single Channel Analog Input System
(DSP-SYS603-001)
Description
The DSP-SYS603-OO1 is the basic system for acquiring and
working with single input analog signals at the 12-bitlOMHz
sampling rate of the ADC603. For applications where it is
necessary to evaluate the incorporation of an ADC603 into
a current design or design under development, the -001
system allows the user to analyze the effects of the high
performance of the ADC603. Furthermore, this analysis can
be accomplished with little more effort than making the
appropriate connections and establishing the proper system
setup.
In addition to design support, the DSP-SYS603 may be used
as the test software to characterize the performance of the _
user's system. A third application for the workstation is to
take advantage of the development software in order to
design DSP circuits that will enhance the performance of
the user's system. DSP-SYS603 software will allow the user
to not only develop the DSP algorithms, but will port the
executable code to any DSP32C processors for continued
use within the user's system.

(DSP·SYS603-002)
Description
The -002 system configuration is designed for applications
where simultaneous sampling is required. Included in this
system is an analog input box with dual ADC603s along
with two digital input buffer boards. As a dual input system
configuration, independent high resolution samples can be
taken simultaneously, then passed to the respective buffer
board, where the two inputs are concatenated to form one
32-bit word for transfer to the DSP board for analysis and
processing.
