APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Maximum and Minimum Encode Rates
The maximum encode rate for the LTC2242-12 is 250Msps.
For the ADC to operate properly, the encode signal should
have a 50% (±5%) duty cycle. Each half cycle must have
at least 1.9ns for the ADC internal circuitry to have enough
settling time for proper operation. Achieving a precise 50%
duty cycle is easy with differential sinusoidal drive using
a transformer or using symmetric differential logic such
as PECL or LVDS.
An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit can be used if
the input clock has a non 50% duty cycle. This circuit uses
the rising edge of the ENC
+
pin to sample the analog input.
The falling edge of ENC
+
is ignored and the internal falling
edge is generated by a phase-locked loop. The input clock
duty cycle can vary from 40% to 60% and the clock duty
cycle stabilizer will maintain a constant 50% internal duty
cycle. If the clock is turned off for a long period of time,
the duty cycle stabilizer circuit will require one hundred
clock cycles for the PLL to lock onto the input clock. To
use the clock duty cycle stabilizer, the MODE pin should be
connected to 1/3V
DD
or 2/3V
DD
using external resistors.
The lower limit of the LTC2242-12 sample rate is determined
by droop of the sample-and-hold circuits. The pipelined
architecture of this ADC relies on storing analog signals on
small valued capacitors. Junction leakage will discharge
the capacitors. The specifi ed minimum operating frequency
for the LTC2242-12 is 1Msps.

Digital Output Modes
The LTC2242-12 can operate in several digital output
modes: LVDS, CMOS running at full speed, and CMOS
demultiplexed onto two buses, each of which runs at half
speed. In the demultiplexed CMOS modes the two buses
(referred to as bus A and bus B) can either be updated on
alternate clock cycles (interleaved mode) or simultaneously
(simultaneous mode). For details on the clock timing, refer
to the timing diagrams.
The LVDS pin selects which digital output mode the part
uses. This pin has a four-level logic input which should
be connected to GND, 1/3V
DD
, 2/3V
DD
or V
DD
. An external
resistor divider can be used to set the 1/3V
DD
or 2/3V
DD
logic values. Table 2 shows the logic states for the LVDS
pin.

Digital Output Buffers (CMOS Modes)
Figure 13a shows an equivalent circuit for a single
output buffer in the CMOS output mode. Each buffer is
powered by OV
DD
and OGND, which are isolated from the
ADC power and ground. The additional N-channel transistor
in the output driver allows operation down to voltages as
low as 0.5V. The internal resistor in series with the output
makes the output appear as 50Ω to external circuitry and
may eliminate the need for external damping resistors.
As with all high speed/high resolution converters, the
digital output loading can affect the performance. The
digital outputs of the LTC2242-12 should drive a minimal
capacitive load to avoid possible interaction between the
digital outputs and sensitive input circuitry. The output
should be buffered with a device such as an 74VCX245
CMOS latch. For full speed operation the capacitive load
should be kept under 10pF.
Lower OV
DD
voltages will also help reduce interference
from the digital outputs.
Digital Output Buffers (LVDS Mode)
Figure 13b shows an equivalent circuit for a differential
output pair in the LVDS output mode. A 3.5mA current is
steered from OUT
+
to OUT
or vice versa which creates a
±350mV differential voltage across the 100Ω termination
resistor at the LVDS receiver. A feedback loop regulates
the common mode output voltage to 1.25V. For proper
operation each LVDS output pair needs an external 100Ω
termination resistor, even if the signal is not used (such
as OF
+
/OF
or CLKOUT
+
/CLKOUT
). To minimize noise
the PC board traces for each LVDS output pair should be
routed close together. To minimize clock skew all LVDS PC
board traces should have about the same length.

Data Format
The LTC2242-12 parallel digital output can be selected
for offset binary or 2’s complement format. The format
is selected with the MODE pin. Connecting MODE to GND
or 1/3V
DD
selects offset binary output format. Connecting
MODE to 2/3V
DD
or V
DD
selects 2’s complement output
format. An external resistor divider can be used to set the
1/3V
DD
or 2/3V
DD
logic values. Table 3 shows the logic
states for the MODE pin.

Overfl ow Bit
An overfl ow output bit indicates when the converter is
overranged or underranged. In CMOS mode, a logic high
on the OFA pin indicates an overfl ow or underfl ow on the
A data bus, while a logic high on the OFB pin indicates an
overfl ow or underfl ow on the B data bus. In LVDS mode,
a differential logic high on the OF
+
/OF
pins indicates an
overfl ow or underfl ow.
Output Clock
The ADC has a delayed version of the ENC
+
input available
as a digital output, CLKOUT. The CLKOUT pin can be used
Figure 13b. Digital Output in LVDS Mode
Figure 13a. Digital Output Buffer in CMOS Mode
to synchronize the converter data to the digital system.
This is necessary when using a sinusoidal encode. In
all CMOS modes, A bus data will be updated just after
CLKOUTA rises and can be latched on the falling edge of
CLKOUTA. In demux CMOS mode with interleaved update,
B bus data will be updated just after CLKOUTB rises and
can be latched on the falling edge of CLKOUTB. In demux
CMOS mode with simultaneous update, B bus data will be
updated just after CLKOUTB falls and can be latched on
the rising edge of CLKOUTB. In LVDS mode, data will be
updated just after CLKOUT
+
/CLKOUT
rises and can be
latched on the falling edge of CLKOUT
+
/CLKOUT
.
Output Driver Power
Separate output power and ground pins allow the output
drivers to be isolated from the analog circuitry. The power
supply for the digital output buffers, OV
DD
, should be tied
to the same power supply as for the logic being driven.
For example if the converter is driving a DSP powered
by a 1.8V supply then OV
DD
should be tied to that same
1.8V supply.
In the CMOS output mode, OV
DD
can be powered with
any voltage up to 2.625V. OGND can be powered with any
voltage from GND up to 1V and must be less than OV
DD
.
The logic outputs will swing between OGND and OV
DD
.
In the LVDS output mode, OV
DD
should be connected to a
2.5V supply and OGND should be connected to GND.
