Functional Description
Operating on dual +3.3V and +1.8V supplies, the AD-
C11C170 digitizes a differential analog input signal to 11 bits,
using a differential pipelined architecture with error correction
circuitry and an on-chip sample-and-hold circuit to ensure
maximum performance.
The user has the choice of using an internal 1.0V stable ref-
erence, or using an external reference. The ADC11C170 will
accept an external reference between 0.9V and 1.1V (1.0V
recommended) which is buffered on-chip to ease the task of
driving that pin. The +1.8V output driver supply reduces pow-
er consumption and decreases the noise at the output of the
converter.
The quad state function pin CLK_SEL/DF (pin 8) allows the
user to choose between using a single-ended or a differential
clock input and between offset binary or 2's complement out-
put data format. The digital outputs are CMOS compatible
signals that are clocked by a synchronous data ready output
signal (DRDY, pin 34) at the same rate as the clock input. For
the ADC11C170 the clock frequency can be between 5 MSPS
and 170 MSPS (typical) with fully specified performance at
170 MSPS. The analog input is acquired at the falling edge of
the clock and the digital data for a given sample is output on
the falling edge of the DRDY signal and is delayed by the
pipeline for 7 clock cycles. The data should be captured on
the rising edge of the DRDY signal.
Power-down is selectable using the PD/Sleep pin (pin 7). A
logic high on the PD/Sleep pin disables everything except the
voltage reference circuitry and reduces the converter power
consumption to 5 mW. When PD/Sleep is biased to V
the chip enters sleep mode. In sleep mode everything except
the voltage reference circuitry and its accompanying on chip
buffer is disabled; power consumption is reduced to 50 mW.
For normal operation, the PD/Sleep pin should be connected
to the analog ground (AGND). A duty cycle stabilizer main-
tains performance over a wide range of clock duty cycles.

For single frequency sine waves the full scale error in LSB
can be described as approximately
Where dev is the angular difference in degrees between the
two signals having a 180° relative phase relationship to each
other (see Figure 3). For single frequency inputs, angular er-
rors result in a reduction of the effective full scale input. For
complex waveforms, however, angular errors will result in
distortion.

It is recommended to drive the analog inputs with a source
impedance less than 100Ω. Matching the source impedance
for the differential inputs will improve even ordered harmonic
performance (particularly second harmonic).
