APPLICATION INFORMATION

CLAMPOUT decoupling (when used as dc bias source)

When using CLAMPOUT as a dc biasing reference (e.g., MODE = AVDD), the CLAMPOUT pin should be

decoupled to the circuit board’s analog ground plane close to the THS1041 AGND pin via a 1-

µF capacitor and

a 0.1-

µF ceramic capacitor.

supply decoupling

The analog (AVDD, AGND) and digital (DVDD, DGND) power supplies to the THS1041 should be separately

decoupled for best performance. Each supply needs at least a 10-

µF electrolytic or tantalum capacitor (as a

charge reservoir) and a 100-nF ceramic type capacitor placed as close as possible to the respective pins (to

suppress spikes and supply noise).

digital output loading and circuit board layout

The THS1041 outputs are capable of driving rail-to-rail with up to 10 pF of load per pin at 40-MHz clock frequency

and 3-V digital supply. Minimizing the load on the outputs improves THS1041 signal-to-noise performance by

reducing the switching noise coupling from the THS1041 output buffers to the internal analog circuits. The

output load capacitance can be minimized by buffering the THS1041 digital outputs with a low input capacitance

buffer placed as close to the output pins as physically possible, and by using the shortest possible tracks

between the THS1041 and this buffer. Inserting small resistors in the range 100

Ω to 300 Ω between the

THS1041 I/O outputs and their loads can help minimize the output-related noise in noise-critical applications.

Noise levels at the output buffers, which may affect the analog circuits within THS1041, increase with the digital

supply voltage. Where possible, consider using the lowest DVDD that the application can tolerate.

Use good layout practices when designing the application PCB to ensure that any off-chip return currents from

the THS1041 digital outputs (and any other digital circuits on the PCB) do not return via the supplies to any

sensitive analog circuits. The THS1041 should be soldered directly to the PCB for best performance. Socketing

the device degrades performance by adding parasitic socket inductance and capacitance to all pins.

user tips for obtaining best performance from the THS1041

D Choose differential input mode for best distortion performance.

D Choose a 2-V ADC input span for best noise performance.

D Choose a 1-V ADC input span for best distortion performance.

D Drive the clock input CLK from a low-jitter, fast logic stage, with a well-decoupled power supply and short

PCB traces.

D Use a small RC filter (typically 20 Ω and 20 pF) between the signal source(s) the AIN+ (and AIN−) input(s)

when the systems bandwidth requirements allow this.
