Applications Information
3.0 OUTPUT DATA TIMING
The Output Delay (t
to one half clock cycle. Because of this, the output data tran-
sition occurs very near the falling edge of the ADC clock. To
avoid clocking errors, you should use the rising edge of the
ADC clock to latch the output data of the ADC1175-50 and
not use the falling edge.
4.0 POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
Many A/D converters draw sufficient transient current to cor-
rupt their own power supplies if not adequately bypassed. A
10 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be
placed within an inch (2.5 centimeters) of the A/D power
pins, with a 0.1 µF ceramic chip capacitor placed as close as
possible to the converter’s power supply pins. Leadless chip
capacitors are preferred because they have low lead induc-
tance.
While a single voltage source should be used for the analog
and digital supplies of the ADC1175-50, these supply pins
should be isolated from each other to prevent any digital
noise from being coupled to the analog power pins. We rec-
ommended a choke be used between the analog and digital
supply lines, with a ceramic capacitor close to the analog
supply pin. If a resistor is used in place of the choke, a maxi-
mum of 10
The converter digital supply should not be the supply that is
used for other digital circuitry on the board. It should be the
same supply used for the A/D analog supply.

As with all high speed converters, the ADC1175-50 should
be assumed to have little a.c. power supply rejection, espe-
cially when self biasing is used by connecting V
together.
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of
the supply voltage or below ground, not even on a transient
basis. This can be a problem upon application of power to a
circuit. Be sure that the supplies to circuits driving the CLK,
PD, analog input and reference pins do not come up any
faster than does the voltage at the ADC1175-50 power pins.
5.0 THE ADC1175-50 CLOCK
Although the ADC1175-50 is tested and its performance is
guaranteed with a 50 MHz clock, it typically will function with
clock frequencies from 1 MHz to 55 MHz.
The clock should be one of low jitter and close to 50% duty
cycle.
6.0 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals is essen-
tial to ensure accurate conversion. Separate analog and
digital ground planes that are connected beneath the
ADC1175-50 are required to meet data sheet limits. The
analog and digital grounds may be in the same layer, but
should be separated from each other and should never over-
lap each other.
Capacitive coupling between the typically noisy digital
ground plane and the sensitive analog circuitry can lead to
poor performance that may seem impossible to isolate and
