DESCRIPTION

LTC6416

2 GHz Low Noise Differential

16-Bit ADC Buffer

Demonstration circuit 1257B features the LTC

6416, a

2GHz low noise differential 16-Bit ADC buffer driving the

LTC2208, a 16-bit 130Msps ADC. The DC1257B is sup-

plied with a bandpass filter centered at 140MHz between

the buffer and the ADC. The filter center frequency can be

changed to optimize performance at different analog input

frequencies. Both single-ended and differential configura-

tions are supported at the inputs. The DC1257B has been

Demonstration circuit 1257B is easy to set up. Refer to

Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup. Table 1

The DC1257B requires DC890 FastDAACs data acquisition

board with PScope System Software. The PScope System

Software is available from the Linear Technology website

at http://www.linear.com/software/.

Apply power to the DC1257B Demonstration Circuit. Apply

+3.6V across the pins marked OPT and GND, VS and GND.

The DC1257B demonstration circuit requires up to 100mA

from the OPT pin, and up to 700 mA from the VS pin.

developed from the DC996B-B, used to characterize the

LTC2208 family of ADCs.

Use the DC1257B with a DC890 FastDAACS and PScope™

software to collect time and frequency data.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

HARDWARE SETUP

Table 1: DC1257B SMA Connector and Jumper Descriptions

J2 (AIN+) Single-Ended/Differential Input. By default, this is configured as a single-ended input. Use this connector to supply an input to

the DC1257B. When driven from a 50 signal source, no external termination necessary.

J3 (AIN–) Differential Input. Not connected by default. Capacitor C23 can be installed and C25 removed to drive the DC1257B differentially.

J4 (CLK) Single-Ended Input. This input is designed to be driven by an extremely low jitter 50 source. A sinusoidal input of up to 13dBm

is recommended.

JP1 (PGA) Programmable gain amplifier. Default to LOW Gain Mode. This sets the gain of the ADC amplifier to 1.0.

JP2 (RAND) ADC Digital Output Randomization. Default to OFF. This disables randomization.

JP3 (SHDN ADC) ADC Power Shutdown ADC. Default to EN. This results in normal operation.

JP4 (DITH) ADC Internal Dither Enable. Default to OFF. This disables internal dither.

describes the function of each SMA connector and default

settings for the jumpers on the board.

Supply power to the DC890B FastDAACS Board with an

external 6V ±0.5V 1A supply on turrets on G7(+) and G1(–)

or the adjacent 2.1mm power jack. Unless the DC890B

detects external power it will not activate the LVDS mode of

the Xilinx Spartan-III FPGA. The FPGA actively terminates

the LVDS repeaters at the outputs of the LTC2208.

HARDWARE SETUP

Apply Encode Clock to the DC1257B on the SMA connector

marked “(J4) CLK". This transformer coupled input is

terminated with a 100 at the secondary and a 100 at

the ADC clock inputs. For best noise performance the clock

input must be driven with a very low jitter source. The

amplitude of the sinusoidal generator should be as large

as possible, up to 13dBm. Bandpass filters on the clock

and the analog input will improve the noise performance

by reducing the wideband noise power of the signals. Data

sheet FFT plots were taken with 10 pole LC filters made

by TTE (Los Angeles, CA) to suppress signal generator

harmonics, non-harmonically relatedspurs and broadband

noise. Low phase noise (jitter) Agilent 8644B generators

are used with TTE band pass filters for the CLK input and

Analog input.

Apply the Analog Input to the DC1257B on the SMA

connector marked "(J2) AIN+". This input is capacitively

coupled to a 1:4 Balun transformer TCM4-19+.

Start and Configure the PScope data collection software

for the FastDAACS DC890 by selecting AutoConfigure.

If the board is not detected, up-date PScope for latest

software and device list, and then select LTC2208 from the

Configure→Device menu.You can also manuallyconfigure

PScope for the LTC2208 by setting the parameters listed

in Table 2.

Buffer ADC Interface

The LTC6416 has been specifically designed to interface

directly with high speed A/D converters. It is possible

to drive the ADC directly from the LTC6416. In practice,

however, better SFDR may be obtained by adding a few

external components at the output of the LTC6416.

Figure 2 shows the LTC6416 being driven by a 1:4 trans-

former which provides 6 dB of voltage gain while also

performing single-ended to differential conversion. The

differential outputs of the LTC6416 are lowpass filtered

to drive the differential inputs of the LTC2208 ADC. In

many applications, an anti-alias filter like this is desir-

able to limit the wideband noise of the amplifier. This is

especially true in high performance 16-bit designs. The

minimum recommended network between the LTC6416

and the ADC is simply two 5 series resistors, which are

used to help eliminate resonances associated with the

stray capacitances of PCB traces and the stray inductance

of the internal bond wires at the ADC input, and the driver

output pins. Table 3 suggests filter components for dif-

ferent input frequencies.
