Reference Generator, V
ROUT
and V
RIN
The HI5805 has an internal reference voltage generator,
therefore no external reference voltage is required. V
ROUT
must be connected to V
RIN
when using the internal
reference. Internal to the converter, two reference voltages
of 1.3V and 3.3V are generated making for a fully differential
analog input signal range of
±2V.
The HI5805 can be used with an external reference. The
converter requires only one external reference voltage
connected to the V
RIN
pin with V
ROUT
left open. The
evaluation board is configured with V
ROUT
connected to V
RIN
through a 0 resistor, R
15
. If it is desired to evaluate the
performance of the converter utilizing an externally provided
reference voltage, R
15
can be removed and the alternate
reference voltage can be brought in through twisted pair wire or
coaxial cable. The latter would be the recommended method
since it would provide the greatest immunity to externally
coupled noise voltages. In order to minimize overall converter
noise it is recommended that adequate high frequency
decoupling be provided at the reference input pin, V
RIN
.
Analog Input
The fully differential analog input of the HI5805 A/D can be
configured in various ways depending on the signal source
and the required level of performance.
Differential Analog Input Configuration
A fully differential connection (Figure 3) will yield the best
performance from the HI5805 A/D converter. Since the
HI5805 is powered off a single +5V supply, the analog input
must be biased so it lies within the analog input common
mode voltage range of 1.0V to 4.0V. Figure 4 illustrates the
differential analog input common mode voltage range that
the converter will accommodate. The performance of the
ADC does not change significantly with the value of the
common mode voltage.
A 2.3V DC bias voltage source, VDC, half way between the top
and bottom internally generated reference voltages, is made
available to the user to help simplify circuit design when using a
differential input. This low output impedance voltage source is
not designed to be a reference but makes an excellent bias
source and stays within the analog input common mode
voltage range over temperature. The DC voltage source has a
temperature coefficient of about +200ppm/
o
C.
The difference between the converter's two internally
generated voltage references is 2V. For the AC coupled
differential input, (Figure 3), if V
IN
is a 2V
P-P
sinewave with -
V
IN
being 180 degrees out of phase with V
IN
, the converter
will be at positive full scale when the V
IN+
input is at V
DC
+1V
and the V
IN-
input is at V
DC
- 1V (V
IN+
- V
IN-
= +2V).
Conversely, the ADC will be at negative full scale when the
V
IN+
input is equal to V
DC
- 1V and V
IN-
is at V
DC
+1V(V
IN+
- V
IN-
= -2V).
Evaluation Board Layout and Power Supplies
The HI5805 evaluation board is a four layer board with a layout
optimized for the best performance of the ADC. This application
note includes an electrical schematic of the evaluation board, a
component parts list, a component placement layout drawing
and reproductions of the various board layers used in the board
stack-up. The user should feel free to copy the layout in their
application. Refer to the component layout and the evaluation
board electrical schematic for the following discussions.
The HI5805 monolithic A/D converter has been designed
with separate analog and digital supply and ground pins to
keep digital noise out of the analog signal path. The
evaluation board provides separate low impedance analog
and digital ground planes on layer 2. Since the analog and
digital ground planes are connected together at a single
point where the power supplies enter the board, DO NOT tie
them together back at the power supplies.
The analog and digital supplies are also kept separate on
the evaluation board and should be driven by clean linear
regulated supplies. The external power supplies can be
hooked up with wires to the plated through holes marked
+5VAIN, +5VAIN1, -5VAIN, +5VDIN, +5VD1IN, +5VD2IN,
-5VDIN, AGND and DGND near the analog prototyping area.
+5VDIN, +5VD1IN, +5VD2IN and -5VDIN are digital
supplies and should be returned to DGND. +5VAIN,
+5VAIN1 and -5VAIN are the analog supplies and should be
returned to AGND. Table 1 lists the operational supply
voltages, typical current consumption and the evaluation
board circuit function being powered. Single supply
operation of the converter is possible but the overall
performance of the converter may degrade.

It should be noted that overdriving the analog input beyond
the ±2.0V fullscale input voltage range will not damage the
converter as long as the overdrive voltage stays within the
converters analog supply voltages. In the event of an
overdrive condition the converter will recover within one
sample clock cycle.
Sample Clock Driver, Timing and I/O
In order to ensure rated performance of the HI5805, the duty
cycle of the sample clock should be held at 50% ±5%. It must
also have low phase noise and operate at standard TTL levels.
A voltage comparator (U3) with TTL output levels is provided on
the evaluation board to generate the sampling clock for the
HI5805 when a sinewave (< ±3V) or squarewave clock is
applied to the CLK input (J1) of the evaluation board. A
potentiometer (VR1) is provided to allow the user to adjust the
duty cycle of the sampling clock to obtain the best performance
from the ADC and to allow the user to investigate the effects of
expected duty cycle variations on the performance of the
converter. The HI5805 clock input trigger level is approximately
1.5V. Therefore, the duty cycle of the sampling clock should be
measured at this 1.5V trigger level. Test point TP4 provides a
convenient point to monitor the sample clock duty cycle and
make any required adjustments.
Figure 5 shows the sample clock and digital data timing
relationship for the evaluation board. The data
corresponding to a particular sample will be available at the
digital data outputs of the HI5805 after the data latency time,
t
LAT
, of 3 sample clock cycles plus the HI5805 digital data
output delay, t
OD
. Table 2 lists the values that can be
expected for the indicated timing delays. Refer to the HI5805
data sheet for additional timing information.
The sample clock and digital output data signals are made
available through two connectors contained on the evaluation
board. The line buffering provided by the data output latches
allows for driving long leads or analyzer inputs. These data
latches are not necessary for the digital output data if the load
presented to the converter does not exceed the data sheet load
limits of one standard TTL load and 10pF. The P1 I/O connector
allows the evaluation board to be interfaced to the DSP
evaluation boards available from Intersil. Alternatively, the
digital output data and sample clock can also be accessed by
clipping the test leads of a logic analyzer or data acquisition
system onto the I/O pins of connector header P2.

HI5805 Performance Characterization
Dynamic testing is used to evaluate the performance of the
HI5805 A/D converter. Among the tests performed are Signal-
to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD), Signal-to-Noise Ratio
(SNR), Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Spurious Free
Dynamic Range (SFDR) and Intermodulation Distortion (IMD).
Figure 6 shows the test system used to perform dynamic
testing on high-speed ADCs at Intersil. The clock (CLK) and
analog input (V
IN
) signals are sourced from low phase noise
HP8662A synthesized signal generators that are phase locked
to each other to ensure coherence. The output of the signal
generator driving the ADC analog input is bandpass filtered to
improve the harmonic distortion of the analog input signal. The
comparator on the evaluation board will convert the sine wave
CLK input signal to a square wave at TTL logic levels to drive
the sample clock input of the HI5805. The ADC data is
captured by a logic analyzer and then transferred over the GPIB
bus to the PC. The PC has the required software to perform the
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and do the data analysis.
Coherent testing is recommended in order to avoid the
inaccuracies of windowing. The sampling frequency and
analog input frequency have the following relationship: F
I
/F
S
= M/N, where F
I
is the frequency of the input analog
sinusoid, F
S
is the sampling frequency, N is the number of
samples, and M is the number of cycles over which the
samples are taken. By making M an integer and odd number
(1, 3, 5, ...) the samples are assured of being nonrepetitive.
Refer to the HI5805 data sheet for a complete list of test
definitions and the results that can be expected using the
evaluation board with the test setup shown. Evaluating the
part with a reconstruction DAC is only suggested when
doing bandwidth or video testing.
