Optimizing Data Converters for High Frequency Operation ADCs - Ping-Pong Architectures ADCs – Driving Them DACs – Sinc Compensation DACs – Glitches What They Didn’t Teach You in School
Ping Pong ADCsReferences • Analog Dialogue 37-8 (August 2003) • Analog Dialogue 39-5 (May 2005) • http://www.v-corp.com/ • Do a Patent Search on Inventor: Velazquez; Classification: 341/118
Linear Error Compensation (LinComp)Corrects for Non-Linearities
Driving ADCsReferences • Analog Dialogue 39-4 (April 2005) • Analog-Digital Conversion Seminar (2004)
DACsSome Things You May Not Have Thought Of • Sinc Compensation Effects • Glitch Energy
DACs Suffer From Sinc Response dB Frequency (xFs)
Use Sinc Compensation to Reduce Passband Droop dB Frequency (xFs)
Passband is Flat But There is 3.5 dB Insertion Loss dB Frequency (xFs)
Sinc Compensation Doesn’t Work So Wellat Super Nyquist Bands dB Frequency (xFs)
AD9779 Vs AD9777 Time Domain Plot Both DACs synthesizing a 1MHz sine wave in 1x interpolation mode with a 160MSPS clock rate. Due to the unique output stage of the AD9779, its time domain waveform has much more glitch energy than the AD9777 AD9777 AD9779
Things They Don’t Teach You In School • Watch ALL your inputs • Proper Decoupling • Differential Signaling • Clean Your Clock
