Precision Analog-to-Digital Converters Achieve New Level
of Noise Performance and Low Power Operation in Portable
Industrial and Medical Equipment
Portable instrumentation, industrial process controls, medical monitoring devices, and other
applications increasingly demand reliable, space-constrained, highly accurate signal conversion
on a diminishing power budget.
Solution 
The AD7170 and AD7171 are 12-bit and 16-bit, respectively, small package devices that achieve
new levels of noise performance and low power operation for portable industrial and medical
instrumentation equipment. Both devices have a 125 Hz output data rate and generate less noise
than competing converters while consuming 25% less current. They contain a precision ∑-∆ ADC
core with on-chip oscillator and consume only 110 μA of power. These devices are particularly
suitable for portable or battery-operated
products where the lowest possible power is a AD7171 Block Diagram
requirement. These ADCs also have a power-

down mode in which the devices consume
5 μA, thus increasing the battery life of the
product. The AD7170 and AD7171 operate with AIN(+) DOUT/RDY

 Continuous Time ∑-∆ ADC Architecture Offers a Number of Benefits for Wider
Bandwidth Applications
∑-∆ ADCs have long been the architecture of choice for applications requiring both high resolution and high accuracy. The standard
product implementation of this converter architecture has been within a discrete time domain and limited to a few MHz of bandwidth.
However, the continuous-time ∑-∆ (CTSD) architecture can provide the advantages of its discrete time counterpart, in addition to a
wider bandwidth, inherent antialiasing, and an easy to drive input structure.

Solution 
A key benefit of the CTSD architecture, utilized in the AD926x family of converters from ADI, is the inherent alias immunity that it
offers. Since the sampling operation of a CTSD-based ADC occurs at the output of the internal loop filter, which is the same point
where quantization noise is injected into the loop, aliases are attenuated by a similar mechanism, which attenuates quantization
noise. This process, coupled with a 640 MSPS high speed modulator and a 32× oversampling ratio (OSR) for a 10 MHz input signal,
ultimately eliminates the need for antialiasing filters. In addition, the continuous time loop filter architecture enables a passive
1 kΩ input impedance and results in a –3 dBm input power requirement for a 2 V peak-to-peak input voltage swing that significantly
relaxes the requirements of the ADC driver amplifier. This feature contrasts with a typical switched capacitor input structure that
represents a significant challenge to filter and drive.
The AD926x CTSD ADCs achieve a high dynamic range of 86 dB and an SNR of 84.5 dBFS up to a 10 MHz analog input bandwidth.
The ADC provides an extremely low 15 dB noise figure, which is nearly a 7 dB improvement over current state-of-the-art wideband
converters. The low noise figure reduces the front-end gain, thereby relaxing linearity requirements in an RF system. In addition, the
high dynamic range makes it possible to eliminate the automatic gain control commonly employed in many communication systems.
In emerging applications, such as wireless communications, medical imaging, and radar systems, accurate and high speed
signal conversion is a key requirement. High SNR and wide bandwidth, in addition to a reduction in requirements of system level
components, make CTSD-based ADCs an ideal fit for these applications. An example of this is illustrated by using the AD9262 in
combination with ADI’s high performance ADL5382 quadrature demodulator and AD9520 clock generation and distribution products
to implement a 20 MHz bandwidth, high
performance, low part count 700 MHz to

Industry’s First Quad, 16-Bit, 1 GSPS High Speed Digital-to-Analog Converter
Simplifies Wireless Transmitter Design
To meet today’s industrial market environment, many data acquisition design
engineers require multichannel data acquisition with added temperature sensing
in space-constrained applications.

Solution 
The AD9148 DAC is designed to provide support for multiantenna wireless
communications standards requiring the large bandwidths demanded by digital
predistortion (DPD) transmit systems. This 4-channel, 16-bit DAC has a
1 gigasample per second (GSPS) data rate that is 25% faster than competing dual
channel devices. Additionally, the new highly integrated converter cuts component
count in half relative to dual channel DACs. Its 12 mm × 12 mm BGA package

When Time Domain Performance Is Critical, Current Output DACs Provide an

Unmatched Combination of Speed, Accuracy, Low Power, and Integration
In arbitrary waveform generation, instrumentation, and medical applications where positioning an analog signal to an exact value
within the shortest interval is critical, the demand is for integrating more channels and functionality in the same board space.
To achieve this higher level of integration and smaller package sizes, high speed current output DACs are tasked with not only
delivering high accuracy and fast settling time specifications but also providing more functionality on lower power consumption.

Solution 
To achieve fast digital-to-analog conversion, current output DACs are the solution of choice for mixed-signal board designers.
This DAC architecture minimizes the output resistance, allowing faster settling time. Led by communications requirements, current
DACs have achieved the required high update rates without compromising static accuracy.
The AD9726 is a true 16-bit accurate current output DAC with a maximum update rate of 400 MSPS, combining a single or double
data rate LVDS data interface with a factory calibrated 20 mA differential current output for improved INL and DNL performance.
The AD9726 operates from 2.5 V and 3.3 V power supplies.
The dual AD9117 features two 14-bit accurate current output DACs operating up to 125 MSPS update rate, integrating a double
data rate CMOS digital interface with internally calibrated 20 mA differential current outputs. The AD9117 can operate with supplies
between 1.8 V and 3.3 V.

 Precision DACs Offer Up to 60 V Output Range
Designers of high voltage systems typically utilize low voltage DACs coupled with a discrete amplifier solution to attain the high
voltage output drive capability required in applications such as high voltage test equipment, programmable voltage/current sources,
precision HV biasing, and receiver bias in optical communications. This approach involves multiple elements: time spent for layout
and interface considerations, additional component count, added costs, and increased power consumption.

Buffers Provide High Quality Clocking Signals for High Speed ADC Applications
The clock signals provided to high speed, high performance ADCs are often one of the primary limiting factors for the performance
achieved by that ADC. In order to achieve their rated performance specifications, high speed data converters require a fast rising,
low jitter sampling clock. In large complex systems where there are many digital chips requiring clock signals as a reference, it can
be a significant challenge to maintain a good low noise/low jitter clock signal throughout the entirety of the clock tree. In addition,
while performance remains the main concern for the designer, most recent applications require a challenging combination of
integration, flexibility, performance, small size, high frequencies, lower cost, and an additional requirement of energy efficiency.
These requirements challenge clock vendors when they must all be met in one design.

Solution 
Analog Devices has developed a broad portfolio of clock buffers that have been designed to help designers solve this clock integrity
challenge. With a clock buffer inserted between the converter and the system clock tree, jitter figures on the order of 50 fs to 75 fs
for LVPECL fanout buffers and extremely low skew on the order of 9 ps (picoseconds) are achieved. These buffer ICs also provide up to
12 channels of low jitter clock fanout.
Typical Low Jitter ADC Clock Tree
The ideal clock signal for a data converter features not only
low phase noise/jitter, but also very sharp rise and fall edges. LVPECL

ADC Driver Amplifier Dissipates Just 7.5 mW, Enabling Low Power SAR Applications
DC converter technology has continued to steadily advance in noise and distortion performance while simultaneously lowering power
dissipation. Converters such as ADI’s AD7986, an 18-bit SAR ADC sampling at 2 MSPS, can digitize up to 1 MHz of input bandwidth
and operate on just 15 mW of power. A challenge faced by many designers today is finding a driver amplifier that is capable of
delivering adequate noise performance at a correspondingly low power point.

Solution 
Analog Devices has developed the ADA4940, an ultralow distortion ADC driver amplifier to provide the solution. Dissipating just
7.5 mW, this device is capable of delivering true 18-bit ENOB performance over a dc to 2 MHz bandwidth. With THD greater than
100 dB and RTO noise of just 9.5 nV/√Hz, the ADA4940 enables full ADC performance at a power point commensurate with the class
of SAR converters that it is intended to drive. Fully differential and balanced, the ADA4940 is also capable of dc level translation to
interface between sensors and ADC cores.
The ADA4940-1 is a single-channel device in an 8-lead SOIC and a 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-lead LFCSP. The ADA4940-2 is a dual-channel
device in a 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-lead LFCSP.
