APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
USING THE ADCLK846 OUTPUTS FOR ADC CLOCK
APPLICATIONS
Any high speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is extremely
sensitive to the quality of the sampling clock provided by the
user. An ADC can be thought of as a sampling mixer, and any
noise, distortion, or timing jitter on the clock is combined with
the desired signal at the ADC output. Clock integrity require-
ments scale with the analog input frequency and resolution,
with higher analog input frequency applications at ≥14-bit
resolution being the most stringent. The theoretical SNR of
an ADC is limited by the ADC resolution and the jitter on
the sampling clock. Considering an ideal ADC of infinite
resolution where the step size and quantization error can be
ignored, the available SNR can be expressed approximately by
where:
f
T
Figure 24 shows the required sampling clock jitter as a function
of the analog frequency and effective number of bits (ENOB).
See AN-756 Application Note and AN-501 Application Note
for more information.
Many high performance ADCs feature differential clock inputs
to simplify the task of providing the required low jitter clock on
a noisy PCB. Distributing a single-ended clock on a noisy PCB
can result in coupled noise on the sample clock. Differential
distribution has inherent common-mode rejection that can
provide superior clock performance in a noisy environment.
The ADCLK846 features LVDS outputs that provide differential
clock outputs, which enable clock solutions that maximize con-
verter SNR performance. Consider the input requirements of
the ADC (differential or single-ended, logic level, termination)
when selecting the best clocking/converter solution.

LVDS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The ADCLK846 provides clock outputs that are selectable
as either CMOS or LVDS level outputs. LVDS is a differential
output option that uses a current-mode output stage. The
nominal current is 3.5 mA, which yields 350 mV output swing
across a 100 Ω resistor. The LVDS output meets or exceeds all
ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 specifications. A recommended termina-
tion circuit for the LVDS outputs is shown in Figure 25.
If ac coupling is necessary, place decoupling capacitors either
before or after the 100 Ω termination resistor.
See the AN-586 Application Note at
information on LVDS.
CMOS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The output drivers of the ADCLK846 can also be configured
as CMOS drivers. When selected as a CMOS driver, each
output becomes a pair of CMOS outputs. These outputs are
1.8 V CMOS compatible.
When single-ended CMOS clocking is used, some of the
following guidelines outlined in this section apply.
Design point-to-point connections such that each driver has
only one receiver, if possible. Connecting outputs in this manner
allows for simple termination schemes and minimizes ringing
due to possible mismatched impedances on the output trace.
Series termination at the source is generally required to provide
transmission line matching and/or to reduce current transients
at the driver.
The value of the resistor is dependent on the board design and
timing requirements (typically 10 Ω to 100 Ω is used). CMOS
outputs are also limited in terms of the capacitive load or trace
length that they can drive. Typically, trace lengths less than
3 inches are recommended to preserve signal rise/fall times
and signal integrity.
