9.1.3 SNR and Clock Jitter

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the ADC is limited by three different factors: quantization noise, thermal noise, and jitter, as shown in Equation 4. The quantization noise is typically not noticeable in pipeline converters and is 86 dBFS for a 14-bit ADC. The thermal noise limits SNR at low input frequencies and the clock jitter sets SNR for higher input frequencies.

Equation 4. ADS54J42 sgnl_to_noise_ratio_eq_sbas706.png

The SNR limitation resulting from sample clock jitter can be calculated by Equation 5:

Equation 5. ADS54J42 snr_limitation_eq_sbas706.png

The total clock jitter (T_Jitter) has two components: the internal aperture jitter (130 fs) is set by the noise of the clock input buffer and the external clock jitter. T_Jitter can be calculated by Equation 6:

Equation 6. ADS54J42 total_jitter_eq_sbas706.png

External clock jitter can be minimized by using high-quality clock sources and jitter cleaners as well as band-pass filters at the clock input. A faster clock slew rate also improves the ADC aperture jitter.

The ADS54J42 has a thermal noise of approximately 71.1 dBFS and an internal aperture jitter of 120 f_S. SNR, depending on the amount of external jitter for different input frequencies, is shown in Figure 132.

9.2 Typical Application

The ADS54J42 is designed for wideband receiver applications demanding excellent dynamic range over a large input frequency range. A typical schematic for an ac-coupled receiver is shown in Figure 133.

NOTE:

GND = AGND and DGND are connected in the PCB layout.

9.2.1 Design Requirements

9.2.1.1 Transformer-Coupled Circuits

Typical applications involving transformer-coupled circuits are discussed in this section. Transformers (such as ADT1-1WT or WBC1-1) can be used up to 300 MHz to achieve good phase and amplitude balances at the ADC inputs. When designing dc-driving circuits, the ADC input impedance must be considered. Figure 134 and Figure 135 show the impedance (Z_IN = R_IN || C_IN) across the ADC input pins.

Figure 134. R_IN vs Input Frequency

Figure 135. C_IN vs Input Frequency

By using the simple drive circuit of Figure 136, uniform performance can be obtained over a wide frequency range. The buffers present at the analog inputs of the device help isolate the external drive source from the switching currents of the sampling circuit.

Figure 136. Input Drive Circuit

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

For optimum performance, the analog inputs must be driven differentially. This architecture improves common-mode noise immunity and even-order harmonic rejection. A small resistor (5 Ω to 10 Ω) in series with each input pin is recommended to damp out ringing caused by package parasitics, as shown in Figure 136.
